Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- FXANK BOYDEN, Deerfield School headmaster,' tells about a Southern rookie called up by the Philadelphia Nationals, uho reported at the Polo Grounds. The manager said, "Sit next to me on the bench, and I'll point cut the fine points of 1WOU OTf HOT steal baseball as played in the majors." In the second inning1, the Phils had a fleet runner on first, when the next batter slashed a long single to right field. The Giants had the gTeat Mel Ott patrolling that sector. Noting that the runner was trying ' to go from first to third. Master Mel threw a bul let smack into the third base man's mitt, and the runner was out sliding. The manager told the rookie. "He was right to try for third. You won't see a play like that again in years." In the eighth, the same runner was on first, the same batter singled to right, and the same Ott threw him out at third. The Southern rookie shook his head and murmured, "Time sure does fly up heah in the North!" 1958, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King Features Syndicate. .

Moscow Van Cliburn, 23-year-old Texan, after winning Russia's international Tchaikovsky piano contest: "I'll never forget it. People are so wonderful and I'll never forget lhem.

Miss Livingston passed out Sunday night at the close of ceremonies in which Spyros P. Skouras, President of the 20th Century-Fox Film Corp., received the Screen Pro ducers Guild's annual Mile stone Award.

However, she recovered quick ly and apparently was in good condition when she left the hotel. EDITORIAL WORKER DIES Maryknoll, N.Y. OP) Sis ter Mary Chaminade, an edi torial worker for the Mary knoll Sisters died Saturday. the oil producing industry as the only major business group receiving large special tax breaks. Stiff opposition in Congress is expected. Without the extension the companies would have been taxed on the basis of a 1942 special benefits formula. The 1942 formula would have cost the companies about 125 mil lion dollars more in taxes. The companies pay about 290 million dollars in taxes under the formula now in effect. The formula permits the companies to pay no taxes on income they earn from sourc es other than investment. It also permits them to deduct 87 Vz per cent of the first mil lion dollars in investment in come and 85 per cent of everything above one million before computing their taxes. Washington (W A clean up drive by the Operating En gineers union, recently called a "national disgrace" by the senate rackets committee, ap parently is making progress. This was indicated by the agreement of AFL-CIO Presi dent George Meany and Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell, both strong foes of union cor ruption, to speak at today's dedication of the union's new three million dollar head quarters building. Heart-to-Heart Talk Labor sources said Meany recently had heart-to-heart talks with Joseph L. Delaney, the Engineer's new president, urging him to eliminate cor ruption within the 280,000 member union. The rackets committee charged the union was a "virtual dictatorship." The Distillery Workers union, meanwhile, opened a "clean-up convention" with the leader of a reform group announcing he may run for its presidency. The 25,000 member Distillery union was placed on probation by the AFL-CIO almost a year. ago. Mitchell, in a speech pre pared for the Engineers' dedi cation ceremony, said labor was on the brink of a "new era." He' said 1958 would be remembered as the year in which unionism "rededicated itself to the old ideals and the In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A member of the Eisen hower administration, speak ing down in Texas the other day of the spending binge that seems to be gaining headway in congress, coined a good wisecrack. He said: "Deficit spending is a good deal like a pair of pants. It can't be kept up indefitely WITHOUT SUSPENDERS." NOT bad. And The t dickens of it is that it is true. The more government spends the more it has to go on spending. The end result is staggering taxes and mount ing inflation. Customer Cools Off ' As Police Run In Los Angeles, (IF , "When police officers, with guns drawn, stormed into a bank at 8th and Hill sts. recently all they found was 75-year-old Mrs. Elizabeth conrad sit ting comfortably in a leather chair with her shopping bag beside her. It seems that, being Satur day, the bank was to have been closed, but as the wo man explained, the sun was hot. .' .She saw an open door and a comfortable chair. . .So she decided to rest. "The door was open, so I just came in and sat down," she explained. IDAVIS L NEVER AGAIN! Someone suggested I borrow a truck and do my own moving. Never again! Look at me thoroughly bushed and I didn't save a bit! Next time I'll call DAVIS. I learned it takes expert e n c and specialized equipment to do the job quickly and safely. Take a tip from me SAVE WITH DAVIS! Got an aspirin? fTVHAT brings up something else. In these days we're sup posed to be having a recession. In all past recessions, prices have gone down. In this one, they're staying up even ris ing in many cases. How come? It's rather simple. Taxes are very, VERY high and getting higher. Add to that the wage-price spiral, which is an inevitable accompani ment of mounting taxes and rising inf la tion, and you have the answer to the seeming mystery of rising prices in a period of business slowdown. DUT enough of taxes. Let's chance the subject. A recent issue of the Wall Street Journal contains this interesting little item: "Pear juice makes good vodka, it's claimed. Most U.S. vodka is made from corn. The Russians use POTATOES (the capital letters are ours.) An Oregon firm now makes this tasteless, potent drink from the distilled squeezings of cannery-rejected pears. "The stuff is now sold only in Oregon, but wider distribu tion may come later." TTMMMM. That brings up something ' else. The state of Washington which is in the liquor busi ness, the same as the state of Oregon is refusing to permit the sale in Washington of wine made from Oregon fruit, chiefly berries. So Presumably The wider distribution of Oregon-made vodka mention ed by the WSJ won't come .about up in Washington. f ? ? ? ? ? Well, sooner or later, in all probability, Washington will start making prune . juice brandy out of Washington prunes or something of the sort. Down here, we'll BUY IT if it's good. We're sensible and realistic enough to know that trade is a TWO-WAY street. It won't work as a one-way street. You can't get rich by selling to everybody and buying from nobody. Trade is TRADE.

This making of vodka from hitherto-wasted cull pears is smart. From the standpoint of sound eco nomics, it's like making starch from cull potatoes. Or pulp and paper out of sawmill waste. We need more of that kind of business. PLAZA HOTEL PORTLAND, OREGON Single with Bath $4.00 New Low Family Rate Plan Shoppingly Located Broadway at Washington C. V. Cooley, Mgr.
