Raising a family often makes it difficult to raise money ... for such things as medical bills, clothing and other expenses. For temporary assistance, many families turn to HFC, where they find they may borrow with complete confidence. Household Finance is America's oldest and largest consumer finance company, providing a modern loan service to more than 2,000,000 people each year. So when you need money to kci-p your family a going con cern, turn to nil, These two cities would be replaced by a pair of strong ma jor league farm clubs from other minor loops. The Coast league would re ceive a share of radio and tele vision money which the major teams get when beaming their games into PCL territory. "We think some of that money belongs to us," O'Connor said. He would not disclose what farm teams were under consid eration nor the percentage the PCL thinks it should get of a big league club broadcasting take. But he indicated that he thought that coin-in-the slot television was coming and this has been mentioned as one of the big lures for the proposed twin move by New York and Brooklyn. All PCL teams were represent ed yesterday except the Seattle Rainiers. General Manager Dew ey Soriano, who last Wednesday said his club would seek three million dollars in indemnity if the league folded, was away in Alaska while President Emil Sick was detained by other busi ness. O'Connor said indemnities were not discussed, although it first was announced that the matter would be brought up. "We'll go into the matter of in demnification if a transfer is made and the big leagues don t go along with our proposition," O'Connor said O'Connor denied that the league either was approaching the majors "hat-in-hand or issu ing a warning., "We are just outlining the problem which they brought about, and are asking them to help us solve it," O'Connor said "We want to continue open class ification besaball but don't see how it can be done under present circumstances, if some of our territory is taken." Gallant Man Stock Upped Br UNITED PRESS Gallant Man boosted his Bel mont Stakes stock during the I week end but Barbizon's poor j showing dampened Calumet i Farm hopes for victory in the June 15 racing classic. ! Gallant Man, the little Eng i lish bred colt who lost the Ken j tucky Derby to Calumet's Iron : Liee by a nose, carried Willie j Shoemaker to a two-and-a-half length victory over Promised Land in the Peter Pan Handicap I Saturday at Belmont. Barbizon, Calumet's chief ' hope in the Belmont because ! Iron Liege and Gen. Duke are 'sidelined with injuries, finished ; eighth in a field of 10 Saturday in the Kent Stakes at Delaware I Park. Lucky Dip. a French-bred I colt who is eligible for the Bel- j mont, won the mile-and-a-six- teenth race by a length and a ! quarter over Inswept, also a I Belmont nominee. Nelson's Blast j In 10th Gains ; Nod for Toronto i Slender Focky Nelson of To j ronto, who has waded through nine major league trials and 15 ! minor league seasons, is single i handedly disputing the claim j that the Leafs are "too old" to ! win another International league . pennant. The Toronto first-baseman slashed his 10th home run Sun day to give the Leafs a 4-3 tri umph over the Montreal Royals. Nelson's 10-inning blast gave starter-finisher Humberto Rob inson his eighth triumph, high for the league, and nudged To ronto to within I'i games of the first-place Richmond Virgin ians. The 33-year-old Nelson has hammered five homers in the past eight days while the Leafs have copped seven of their last 10 contests. They were winning the second game of their double header with Montreal, 7-0, Sun day when the game was called after six innings due to a cur few and will be completed later.

Edith Green (D-Ore ), came to the res cue of two German born Ore Ron children who face the threat of possible deportation. The two children, Fleur Irene Partridge. Bonanza, and James Thomas Burch, Cave Junction, both age 12, have resided in Ore gon nine years. They were brought here by Mrs. Carl Hugo Goss, wife of a Vale minister, who adopted them in Germany.
