New York (U.R) One of the
major mysteries of the current
baseball season today is the inex
plicable manner in which the
National League is walking all
over the American League in the
department of averages.
The averages, supposedly, are
a barometer of excellence. They
are indicative numerals which
show hitting, fielding, pitching
and batting ability over the long
haul and, as any beauty contest
winner will tell you. it's impossi
ble to argue with figures.
If such be the case, at long
last the National League is "the"
big league of baseball. .
Won All Star Gam ,
Added evidence is that the Na
tional League captured the All
Star game this season for the
third straight year. American
League fans will shrug this off
by pointing to the World Series,
which the Nats haven't won
since the Cardinals turned the
trick against the Boston Red Sox
'way back in 1946.
But they can't shrug off the
current averages.
For instance, in batting as of
yesterday's games, the National
League had four men hitting at
a hotter rate than the American
League's leaders. Red Schoen
dienst of the Cards at .341, Monte
Irvin's .337 and the .327 by Ted
Kluszewski and Carl Furillo all
were superior to the .325 of Min
nie Minoso and Mickey Vernon,
the American League leaders.
Buns Batted In
In another of the big depart
ments, runs batted in, the Amer
ican League's Al Rosen is the
only member of his cast among
the first five, and he is second to
chunky Roy Campanella, while
being only slightly ahead of Gil
Hodges and Eddie Mathews.
The crowd jolter always has
been the home run and here, too,
the National League is continu
ing a romp by holding four of
.the first five places. Mathews is
:the leader with 33 followed by
Kluszewski with 30. The Amer-
Salem (U.R) The senteno
ing of George A. Hall, 52, who
pieaded guilty to bilking handi
capped persons when he was
working as a state rehabilitation
counselor, has been continued
for one week.
ican League's top belter is Rosen,
with 27 which ties him with
Campanella.
Over all, of the 25 spots in
the coveted average depart
ments, five leaders in batting,
homers, runs batted in, hits and
runs, the American League has
only seven places.
Wheal Growers Will
Discuss New Quotas
Corvallis (U.R) Oregon
wheat growers vote Aug. 14 on
whether they will agree to wheat
ouotas proclaimed for next year
by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
T. Benson.
Arnold Bodtker, state Produc
tion and Marketing administra
tion chairman, said Oregon's al
lotment on the 1954 crop is
slightly less than 900,000 acres.
This is some 300,000 acres less
than was planted for this year's
harvest.
The quotas will not become
effective unless approved by at
least two-thirds of the growers
voting in the Aug. 14 referendum.

Comment On This and That

Washington (U.R) The
rather large lady in the black
lace dress looked across the
room and said
to me:
"You are a
sick man. You
will have an
operation
within two
months."
I leapt from
my cushion
and let the
lady know that
Haxmaa Micaou I never felt
better in my
life. I did a version of the
Charleston to prove it.
"I feel sorry for you news
papermen," said Gertrude A.
Anderson, a Washington clair
voyant "You reporters are a
bundle of nerves. You chase
fires, fight deadlines, and are al
ways broke. But I love you.
Some of you are my best cus

Ike Won't Sign
Bill To Remove
Movie Ticket Tax
Washington XU.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower said today that
he will not sign a bill to ex
empt motion picture theaters
from the 20 per cent federal ad
missions tax.
In a message of "disapproval"
Mr. Eisenhower said that the
government "cannot afford the
Ion of revenue involved and . ,
it is unfair to single out one in
dustry for relief at this time.'
He said that the net loss, if
the tax were removed, has been
estimated at between $100,000,
000 and $120,000,000 a year.
The bill repealing the movie
tax had been approved over
whelmingly by the House and
Senate.
Movie representatives had
never given any indication that
all theater owners would pass
the tax savings on to movie
goers by reducing prices.
Their argument was that they
needed the added revenue to
offset their own losses.
The President pointed out
that Congress had extended the
excess profits tax for six months
to next January 1 at his re
quest. "Tax relief for one industry
now would be inconsistent with
that action," he said.
He added that the "basic
causes" of the movie industry's
financial distress arises from
new forms of competition. He
said that "a strong case" also
could be made for other indus
tries subject to high excise taxes.

fs a story about the complexities
of today's married life.
I asked "Mother" Anderson,
as she is known around Capitol
Hill, if she could locate the
region of my trouble.
"Yes," she said, without hesi
tation, "it will be upon your
stomach."
"Ulcers?" I asked.
"You'll find out," she an
swered, leaving me in complete
comfort.
Happy Endings , '
Anyhow, at the conference,
"Mother" Anderson produced
some government girls she had
helped. Some with love prob
lems, one a drug addict, another
who once had a hankering to do
nor husband in for infidelity.
The girls appeared before us,
wearing black masks. Each told
her story and how "Mother A."
had saved her from a horrible
fate.
Their stories had happy end
ings. The girl doesn't smoke the
weed anymore. "Miss B" didn't
kill her husband, and they have
lived happily ever since. And
the others had their romance
pxoblems solved.
