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!"

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

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

also permits them to deduct

Washington (W A clean
up drive by the Operating En

a "national disgrace" by the
senate rackets committee, ap
parently is making progress.
This was indicated by the
agreement of AFL-CIO Presi

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

committee charged the union
was a "virtual dictatorship."

"clean-up convention" with
the leader of a reform group
announcing he may run for
its presidency. The 25,000

placed on probation by the
AFL-CIO almost a year. ago.
Mitchell, in a speech pre

was on the brink of a "new

remembered as the year in

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.

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.

TN conclusion, let's be serious
for a moment. 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.
