Durother's Bean
Ball Heads Up
Committee Talk
WASHINGTON, July 31 — M -
Baseball's story of Leo Durochei
and the bean ball today di.splacec
mu no poly in discussion before £
House Judiciary committee's hear
ing on organized baseball.
Rep. Celler (D-NY), chairman oi
the investigating group and c
Brooklyn Dodger fan, injected tht
New York Giant’s manager's name
into the testimony.
He asked Ford Frick, National
League president, about reports
that Durocher had been guil'y ol
telling his pitchers to use the bean
ball against opponents.
The bean ball — a pitch around
the batter's head — is designed tc
make the batter worried and keep
him from getting set to make his
best swing at a later pitch.
"Have you ever fined Durocher
for that?" asked the chairman
“Yes, sir,” replied Frick.
But when Cellar wanted to know
when, Frick shook off the question
with, "I’ve fined him so many times
I can't remember exactly when it
was for that.”
The discussion got into this track
as Frick talked about baseball’s
powers to discipline the players and
clubs under uie reserve clause.
Man Drowns Trying
To Land Barracuda
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.
July 31, —<iP—You'd probably say
a man's life is worth more than
a barracuda.
But that was the price paid yes
terday.
Richard Brown, 33, fell into the
ocean and drowned while trying
to pull in a fish that had broken
away from his gaff.
Brown grabbed the line and was
about to pull in the fish. The bar
racuda made one last break for
freedom and Brown fell overboard.
He sank immediately.

Delegates Ask Equal
Shares for Alaska, Hawaii
In School Lunch Funds
WASHINGTON, July 31, —I'D
Delegates Farrington (R-Hawaii)
and Bartlett (D-Alaska) today
urged the House Labor and Edu
cation committee to approve leg
islation to put Hawaii and Alas
ka on an equal footing with the
48 states in apportionment oi
school lunch funds.
Farrington offered figures show
ing that the Territories’ share un
der the proposal would be increa
sed about 170 per cent.
At present three per., cent of
federal funds for low-eost school
lunches goes to Hawaii and Alaska
and to the Virgin Islands and
Fuerto Rico. In the year ended
last June 30, Congress appropri
ated S83,!>00,000 for the lunches.
Of this, Farrington said, Alaska
received $10,551, Hawaii $73,320.
the Virgin Islands $43,639 and
Puerto Rico $2,377,490. Under the
proposal under study, he said Al
aska would have obtained $28,134,
Hawaii $195,516, the Virgin Is
lands $45,151 and Puerto Rico $2.
459.849.
"Hawaii and Alaska bear the
same financial repsonsibilities as
the states," Farrington said. “Their
people pay identically the same
taxes as the people of the states.
The total taxes normally paid the
federal government by Hawaii ex
ceeds that of from 10 to 12 states.
. . . the people of Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands., do not pay
taxes.
“We believe that for this reason
if for no other we are entitled to
participate in the laws providing
federal grants in aid on the same
basis as the states."
ENROUTE TO GAMBELL
Mr. and Mrs. D. G. McLean and
two children, with the Alaska Na
tive Service are stopping over in
Juneau for a few days. They are
enroute to Gambell on St. Lawrence
Island. They are at the Hotel Ju

Aides Tel! Truman
i Tc Sign, Then Bias!
Wage-Price Bill
President Truman’s kpy stabiliza
tion aides reportedly have advised
him to 'ign the new economic con
rols bill today—and also to blast
it as inadequate to curb inflation.
In Congress, the general expecta
tion was that Mr. Truman will ap
prove the bill by midnight, when
the present law expires.
The White House said only that
the President was not expected to
| net on the measure until late in
the day, probably in the evening.
Some lawmakers termed the
bill they sent to the White House
yesterday a good one and said
I the President has no justification
for complaint. Others criticized it
and declared more legislation will
be needed to check inflation.
The United Labor Policy commit
tee, representing most of organized
labor, blasted the measure as a
'callous betrayal of the consumers”
and said it would back Mr. Truman
if he vetoes it.
The measure provides for con
tinuing wage, price, rent, con
sumer credit and defense produc
tion controls through next June,
but in some cases it eases curbs
the President wanted tightened or
Unchanged. It lacks most of the
additional anti-inflation powers
the President requested.
The House approved the bill yes
terday by a roll call vote of 294 to
80. Senate passage was by voice
vote last Friday. The bill is a
compromise version of separate
measures approved earlier by the
two branches.
