Taft Battles Denis.
Over Labor Law
And Social Welfare
• - o , J
Enroute with Taft to Seattle, (/P)
A sharply-worded debate with
Democratic officials at long range
yesterday enlivened a new defense
of the Taft-Hartley law by Sena
tor Taft (R.-Ohio).
The Ohio Senator told a report
er he plans to answer in a Gear
hart, Ore., speech later this week
an assertion by Gael Sullivan.
Democratic national committee di
rector, that the next Republican
Congress will do nothing about so
cial welfare legislation.
This will provide a new chapter
in a continuing transcontinental
battle of words between Taft and
Democratic opponents since the
Ohioan began a western senti
ment-sounding tour 10 days ago.
Traveling toward Seattle and a
major speech on the labor law
there last night, Taft accused Sen
ators Lucas (D.-Illd and O’Ma
honey (D.-Wyo.> in a statement
Monday night of “calling names"
instead of offering any solution to
the high cost of living problem.
Lucas, in a statement in which
O’Mahonev joined, said Taft had
led the fight in the 79th Congress
to “wreck” price controls.
The Ohioan, who heads the Sen
ate Policy committee, replied it
was a D e m o c r atic Congress
“which refused to enact an OPA
bill in exactly the form demanded
by Mr. (Chester) Bowles, Mr.
(PauP Porter and the CIO.”
Portland May Lose
Baseball For Year
PORTLAND, (/P)—William Mul-.
ligan, vice president of the Port
land Pacific Coast league baseball
club, said today condemnation of
the Beavers’ Vaughn street park
would result either in all games
being played on the road or in
transfer of the Portland franchise
to Vancouver, B. C., for one year.
He added, however, that he did
not expect the city to carry out its
threat.
The oft-discussed condemnation
came to the fore again this week
after fire destroyed a portion of
the center field bleachers early
Sunday.
There are more than 45,000 John
Smiths who have wage accounts
in the federal old-age and surviv
ors insurance system. Like other
holders' of social security cards,
each Smith has his own individ
ual account number.
Oregon Fishermen
Poach Washington
Territory
•
SEATTLE, pP)—Oregon fisher
men. using amphibious ducks and
horses to pull their, nets, are cross
ing the centerline of the Columbia
river and catching salmon on the
Washington side, director Milo
Moore of the state department of
fisheries said yesterday.
“They just edge over far enough
to get the fish, and yet be able to
get back to their own side when
our patrolmen approach.” he said.
“Under these conditions, it is
almost impossible to arrest a man
and get a case that will stand up
in court.”
Washington’s “reward” for be
ing conservation-minded in ban
ning fish traps and seining in state
waters, Moore charged, is to
watch Oregon fishermen take
three-fourths of the total catch in
the river each year.
Krug Says Eat
More Fish
WASHINGTON i/P)—With meat
and egg prices soaring, secretary
of interior Krug suggested yester
day eating more fish.
Krug said fish production is now
at its peak for the year and that
prices are about the same as last
year with some popular items
lower. He added in a statement:
“Fish and other seafood are
among our most nutritionally val
uable foods. Since this is so, house
wives, hotels, restaurants, and
other food-dispensing institutions
would do w'ell to look to the fish
ing industry for an increasing part
of their protein food needs.”

Teacher ;iKept
After School'*
PHILADELPHIA, </P) — Miss
Betty Johnston, 38-year-old teach
er at the Taggart elementary
school, was “kept after school” forj
two hours and not one small fry
was on hand to witness the situa- j
tion.
Miss Johnston remained after
classes Monday to mark papers,
and failed to notice the building
custodian had locked all doors.
The teacher telephoned police
when she realized her predica
ment. Two patrolmen arrived and
produced a ladder but Miss John
ston refused to make the 25-foot
descent from a first floor window.
A search produced the janitor
and his key.

Butterfly Tips Ball,
Decides Golf Match
PITTSBURGH. (/P) — Attorney
Charles K. Robinson is telling the
story of “how a butterfly won a
golf game.”
On the 17th hole with the match
even Robinson says his ball stop
ped and teetered at the very edge
of the cup.
A butterfly alighted on the ball,
he tells. It landed on the side
nearest the hole and was just
heavy enough to tip the ball into
the cup.
“I got a four on the hole and
won the match.” says Robinson.

Scotch Can Be |
Made Anvwhere
y
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. i/P>—
Good Scotch doesn’t have to come
from Scotland, the national alco
holic beverage control association
was told yesterday. The U. S. ver- i
sion of the whiskey, according to
Lewis P. Weiner, is just as good.
Weiner, a Peoria, 111., distiller,
told the association’s convention
that the vital grain, water and
peat used in Scotland is being
matched locally or duplicated
chemically to produce a whiskey
at least as good.
Scottish distillers, Weiner said,
have no secret formula that can
surpass the U. S. product.

this fashion. She stated that there
were many wild sheep in this area
