Crax Split
Doubleheader
With Mobile
By STERLING SLAPPEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
At the start Paul Pettit was as
wild as ever aud he wasn't worth
any of the SIOO,OOO Pittsburgh paid
for his pitching services. But as
the New Orleans - Birmingham
game got on the young plutocrat,
who almost cornered the bonus
money market, began to look a bit
better,
Toward® the end Paul Pettit
looked something like a profes
sional.
When it was over Pettit was a
pitcher—he had won his first
game and done it so well that fans
have the right to expect him to do
it again and often.
Young Paul whipped Birming
ham 3-2 in the seven-inning first
same of a doubleheader. His op
nosition was 800 Ferriss who was
winning in the big leagues before
Paul got to high school in Lomita,
Calif.
No pitcher in New Orleans ever
received a bigger thanks from
_hometown ecritics and fans than
Pettit after his four-hit victory.

‘The 18-year old graciously ac
cepted the cheers; then sent a tele
gram to his parents in California
giving them the news they had
waited for since April—he finally
had won.
Pro On In
But for a time it looked like he
would lose. In the first inning he
walked two men. In the second
Birmingham got two homers.
From then on Pettit was a pro.
In the second game New Or
leans broke a 2-2 tie to win 5-2, In
the sixth inning New Orleans
scored three times on a single, a
double and Stan Wentzel’s second
homer of the game.
Birmingham’s double defeat and
Atlanta’s split with Mobile gave
the Crackers a four and a half
game lead in the pennant race.
Mobile whipped Atlanta in the
opener 4-2 but lost the second 6-5.
Art Fowler was the losing pitcher
in the first game but it hardly
should be charged against him.
Mrs. Fowler was admitted to the
maternity ward of a Spartanburg,
S. C., hospital Wednesday night.
Fowler, one of the leading pitchers
in the Southern, gave only eight
hits but lost.
Young Charlie Gorin, who was
pitching for the University of
Texas two months ago, made his
first start with Atlanta a winning
one in the second game although
he needed relief from Hugh Casey.
Mobile’s potential tying run was
at home when Ewing Turner
missed the plate on his slide.
Three-Hitter
The best pitching of the night—
including Pettit’s victory—was a
three-hitter by Leo Goicoechea for
Memphis. Cuban Leo whipped
Nashville 3-1. Red Barrett lost his
first game for Nashville.
Chattanooga whipped Little
Rock 5-3 in their lower second
division battle. Bobo Newsom was
the winner for the 11th time.
Floyd Speer relieved Milo Johnson
for Little Rock in the fifth with
runners on first and second and
no outs. Speers first pitch was
wild and the runners advanced a
base each. Then Speer retired the
next 12 batters in order. Lloyd
Hittle had to relieve Bobo and he
matched Speer’s hitless ball for
two innings.

A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE
The Clarke county sheriff’s office received a word of
thanks today from four Tennessee parents who came here
today to take their four sons home, after they had been
missing for three days.
The four youths, Billy Wisecarver, 16, of Oak Ridge, and
Billy Louis, James Acres and Paul King, all 16 years old,
of Dossett, Tenn., were picked up last night by County
Officers Jimmy Williams and A. E. Allen.
This was the chain of events:
Last night shortly after 8
o’clock, the two officers were pa
troling near Winterville, when
they noticed a car parked off a
sideroad, no one apparently
around. They took a look and
found one of the youths, Paul
King, inside the car, sound asleep.
He told the officers he was
waiting for three friends to re
turn from a trip to a gas station
in Winterville, The officers waited
and a few minutes later the trio
returned, not from the service
station but from a nearby field
behind the station.
' Officers questions revealed that
the youths were flat broge. They
had left Oak Ridge Wednesday in
the Wisecarver’s family car. At
that time they had $8 between
them. Last night they were broke,
hungary and on the verge of be
coming desperate.

Note from Margaret Whiting in
Chicago: -
“T visited a couple of hospitals
here to put on 2 show for the boys
and something occurred to me
about which I thought I'd write
you. Somebory ought to prod the
people, the plain folks, the non
performers, to visit veteran hos
pitals once in a while. I think the
men get more kick out of shooting 1
the breeze than listening to gags
or songs. l
“I always make it a point to get
right into the wards and spend
some time talking with the guys,
and that’s the highlight for me and
for the vets. That’'s why I think
visits from the public would give |
the boys more than we can give
them now. |
“If T had my way, there would
be a Visit the Vets Club in towns |
all across the country. Groups of |
people who would make regular
visits to the boys and just sit and l
talk or listen. It’s a lot more per
sonal than having one entertainer
in an auditorium amuse the fel
lows for an hour.”
ISRAELI MILK RECORD -«
TEL AVIV, Israel—(AP)—A 17-
year-old Israeli cow called “Sta
vit” is credited with setting a new
milk output record for Israel and
the Middle East. The ministry of
agriculture reported the cow had
produced more than 100,000 quarts
of milk. The previous lifetime
record for any cow registered by
the ministry was. 50,000 quarts.
“Stavit” is descended from a Da
mascus cow and a Duteh bull.
According to the most widely
accepted explanation, the turkey’s
name was given it because of its
call-notes: “Turk-turk-turk.”

Excess Profits
Finance Chairman George (D-
Ga) told newsmen the $5,000,000,-
000 tax bill will pass without the
excess profits amendment, or
there will be no bill. He said he is
not against such a tax as an emer
gency measure, but it needs study
before Congress acts.
George and Senator Millikin
(R-Colo) predicted that the com
mittee will approve the $3,000,-
000,000 increase in individual tax
es substantially as Mr. Truman
requested.
This would raise total annual
individual income taxes to around
$22,000,000,000.
Here is what the President pro
posed for individuals:
1. The withholding rate on
wages and salaries, in excess of
personal examptions, would jump
October 1 from 15 per cent to 18
per cent,
2. The higher tax rates would
be applicable to one-fourth of
1959 income, yielding the treasury
about $700,000,000 extra this year
and $3,000,000,000 a year begin
ning in 1951.
3. The S6OO personal exemption
and the income-splitting (between
husband and wife) provisions of
the present law would remain un
changed.

Austin assailed the North Kec

of Russian imperialist designs and
as non-representative of the Ko

To call them representative of
the Korean people, he declared,
“must be only a tragic witticism

§ussia, Austin said, has the
power to call off the North Korean
invaders and stop the bombing
and bloodshed. Instead, he
charged, Russia is supporting the
North Korean regime in the Se
curity Council and is the only
great power refusing to denounce
the North Korean aggression.
“One has only to ask whose
planes, whose tanks and whose
training have made it possible for
the North Koreans to defy the U.

NEWS FROM THE
VETERANS CORNER
Here are authoritative answers

four questions of interest to for

Q. Would an American service~
man, paralyzed from the waist
down because of action in Korea,
‘be entitled to the special VA ben
‘nefits of an automobile and a grant
for buying or building a home
‘designed for “wheelchair living?”
A, He could not get the car,
for the law limits motor vehicles
at Government expense to World
War II veterans only. But he
might be eligible for the housing
grant, if he meets the other re
quirements of the law authorizing
special housing.

Specialist Warns
Against Cancer
The population is growing older
and riper for cancer. i
With vaccines and immuniza
tion, sulfa drugs and penicillin,
better-trained doctors and more
hospitals, more people are living
to be older. They escape death
from the common infectious
diseases, and live long enough to
get cancer.
Primarily a disease that strikes
middle aged and older people, the
death rate from cancer rises sharp
ly after 45.
“In 1900, when the average per
son could expect to live to be about
49, cancer was the seventh cause
of death,” according to Miss Lu
cile Higginbotham, Extension
Service health specialist. “Now
that the average person can ex
pect to live to the ripe old age of
66, cancer has moved up to second
place,” she added.
“This does not mean that young
er people do not die of cancer, too,”
Miss Higginbotham pointed out.
“They do, but older persons are
more susceptible to the disease.”
Babies born today have a longer
life expectancy than babies born at
the turn of the century. “A high
proportion of them,” Miss Higgin
botham said, “will live to be 50,
or 60, or even 70.” “More than one
fifth of them will get eancer
sometime before they die. This,
means unless more people use the
means we now have at our disposal
for diagnosis and cure, the cancer
death rate will continue to rise.”
The health specialist listed the
following things that we can do
to halt the deadly disease: Realize
that many cancers are curable if
caught in time. Learn the danger
signals. Arrange for a periodic
health examination for yourself
and your family. Ask your county
commander for leaflets giving the
danger signals,

ATLANTA Aug. 11— (AP)—
Georgia’s negro state colleges have
been improved more in the last
four years than any time in Geor
gia history, University System

He commented after negro lead
ers suggested yesterday that court
suits to force equality with white
schools—or admission to white
schools—might come soon.
The negroes said Georgia demo
crats challenged them to such
suits when the State Democratic
convention in Macon Wednesday
resolved not to be bound by court
decisions against racial segrega
tion.
Dernocratic leaders said they
would go to jail before letting
white .and negro students attend
school together.
The University system head
said all three state negro collegeg
—at Albagy, Savannah and Fort
Valley—witl be aceredited to
standards within 12 to 24 months.
State Allocation
He reported that the state allo
cation per pupil at the three negro
colleges is higher than at the white
colleges, ‘He said negro professors
are paid on the same scale as
white professors.
Dr. Czaldwell added that more
than SBO,OOO is allocated by the
state to help negroes take graduate
courses not offered by the state
schools. More than 700 negro
graduate students participated last
year.
Bids will be opened Aug. 17 for
a new dormitory at Albany State
College estimated to cost about
$242 000, he added, and bids will
be opened Aug. 24 for a new
$247,000 library at Fort Valley.

the past have been under the rule
of China, Russia and Japan, add
ing that they seem to have favored
the Japanese of the three. Under

came fairly modern in some things
but in many others is still prima
tive.
Col, King said the Korean peach
orchards reminded him of farms
in Georgia. In fact, he said, most
of Korea is like the North Geor

acres constitute the average farm,
the speaker revealed, with eight
persons the average for a. farm.
Most of the homes are con
structed of bamboo and practical
1y all of the Korean cities are wall
