DOUBLE-HEADER . . . Here is a couple of additions to the Philadel-
phia Athletics. Lou Brissie, Athletio pitcher, beams as happily as if
he had just pitched a no-hitter as he looks over his brand new twins,
Ronald and Robert, in a Philadelphia hospital. Wife, Mrs. Dorothy
Brissie, looks over the new twosome just as proudly but more modestly
than Lou. If the babies take the colic and cry at night, do you suppose
the pitcher will issue a couple of walks? Or would you say Brissie now
has two strikes on him?

FARM AID:
No "Setups" *
Whatever else his critics might
say of President Truman, they
couldn’t charge him with picking
any “setups” when he sets out
to do battle. The President has a
faculty, it seems, for jumping
quickest to the defense of meas-
ures and proposals that have the
least public support.
THIS was the case in the Pres-
ident’s latest taking-up-of-arms
for controversial causes. He es-
poused the Brannan plan of farm
price supports in a speech at Des
Moines. He warned that the na-
tion faces unmanageable and cost-
ly crop surpluses, and • urged a
“modernization” of the farm price
support system on the basis of
the Brannan production-subsidy
program.
This is an issue which promises
to be one of the liveliest in the
1950 congressional elections, and
if the President was aiming to
beat his opponents to the punch
on the issue, he had succeeded.
The President’s recommendation
was made in the face of disagree-
ment among his own congression-
al leaders as to the best farm
price subsidy program to adopt
and organized opposition by many
farmer groups against the Brannan
plan.
MR. TRUMAN called the Bran-
nan plan the most "promising
method yet suggested,” but left
open the possibility that some other
system could be substituted.
The Brannan plan is one, briefly,
wherein prices on practically every
farm commodity would be left to
find their own level on the market
with the government paying a sub-
sidy to farmers in the form of the
difference in price between what
farm products brought on the open
market and the established parity
price.
Opponents of the plan point out
that while the consumer might ap-
pear to be saving money on cheap-
er market prices for farm products,
he would, in reality, be saving
nothing, inasmuch as it would be
his money that would be paying for
the subsidy to the farmer.
COMMANDER:
Some Dispute
Amid charges that he was the
candidate of the “kingmakers,”
and was under the domination of
the old line leadership, George N.
Craig, 40-year old Indiana attorney
was elected commander of the
American Legion. He was the first
World War II veteran to be chosen
for the post.
THE 3,344 delegates to the
Legion’s Philadelphia national con-
vention gave Craig an overwhelm-
ing majority on the first vote.
Craig’s opponents took the rostrum
at nominating time to label him
the choice of those they claim
always select the organization’s
national commander.
ELECTION of officers climaxed
convention sessions in which the
Legion urged continuation of aid to
China, adopted a resolution asking
the U.S. to curtail “as far as pos-
sible” any further immigration at
the present time.
HIGHWAYS:
Rough Going
Thirty-four of these United States
need 20 billion dollars worth of
work done on their roads.
This huge highway repair bill,
forecast by Senator O’Mahoney
(D., Wyo.) was disclosed after a
nationwide survey of road needs.
THE PICTURE was not as dark
as it seemed. O’Mahoney pointed
out the condition will serve as a
backlog which “will afford an un-
measured market for business and
industry.”
He declared that everyone is
aware of the depreciation of the
American road system during and
following the war, but added that
“few, I am sure, appreciate the
tremendous backlog of essential
work which has piled up.”
As chairman of the congressional
joint economic committee, the sen-
ator recently sent inquiries to gov-
ernors and highway authorities in
every state to determine their high-
way construction and repair needs.
HE REPORTED 40 states had re-
sponded and that of those, 34 in-
dicate an accumulation of highway
deficiencies which would require
the expenditure of 20 billion dol-
lars or more.
The information obtained has
been turned over to the U.S. bureau
of public roads.
iOWN-UNDER UPSETTERS . . . One of the biggest upsets in the last
ozen years of tennis was registered at Longwood Cricket club, Chest-
ut Hill, Mass., when this pair of ambitious Australian youngsters,
leorge Worthington (left) and Frank Sedgman, third seeded foreign
air, outfought and outhustled defending champions Gardner Malloy,
liami, and Bill Talbert, Wilmington, Del., to win 6-4, 1-6, 7-5, 9-7, in
tie quarter-final round of the US national doubles championship. ^

Tito's Envoy
PJi WM
in
i
With Russians reported to be
massing troops at his borders,
Yugoslavia’s Marshal Tito sent
Dr. Josa Vilfan (above) as his
envoy to lay the Yugoslav-Mos-
cow dispute before the United
Nations.
EUROPE:
Stronger Ties
At Strasbourg, France, the coun-
cil of Europe’s consultative assem-
bly called for creation of a union
of European countries with real
power in a limited range over the
governments of member nations.
There are many students of
world problems who are con-
vinced this procedure is the only
one which may eventually do away
with war; but being realists, they
concede that man has not progressed
in selfless thinking to a degree
where governments will agree to
overall control of any kind or de-
gree.
THUS it appeared the idea
broached at Strasbourg was
doomed at its inception, but men
of goodwill must keep trying, no
matter how difficult the task, if
world peace is ever to become
more than an illusory goal.
It has not been too difficult to
get the best minds committed to a
problem to see the way to its sol-
ution; the obstacle always has been
that the individuals to whom the
procedure must be entrusted fail
in the scope and breadth of the wis-
dom necessary for solution.
So, when the 12-nation assembly
meeting in France voted by an
overwhelming show of hands for
federal authority for the council
of Europe, it was a manifestation
of hope and desire, rather than
any real accomplishment.
THAT the delegates were on
good, solid ground is indicated by
this portion of the resolution for
federal authority:
“The government should under-
take systematic instruction of the
great mass of the people, pointing
out to them the undeniable advan-
tages of union for Europe and at
the same time the dangers inher-
ent in national isolation.”
DOLLAR PARLEY:
Information, Please
Great Britain took the lead in
stripping any secrecy from the
progress of the critical conference
on England’s dollar crisis.
OFFICIAL SOURCES credited Sir
Oliver Franks, the British ambas-
sador, with a proposal that de-
tailed daily reports be made in
order to keep the American, British
and Canadian people advised of de-
velopments.
This system of daily briefings
has been followed at meeting of the
Big Four council of foreign minis-
ters in the past, although top-level
international postwar financial con-
ferences have been a bit more
secretive.
The publicity problem was among
the first which had to be ironed
out by the principals in the mone-
tary discussions, as decisions will
have a vital bearing on reducing
British dollar drain and bolstering
her position.
THE PROPOSAL for daily brief-
ings was said to have support from
Dean Acheson, U.S. secretary of
state, but the attitude of John
Snyder, treasury boss, was un-
known when the proposal was first
broached.
The federal administration al-
ready had indicated congressional
leaders would be kept informed
on the progress of the conference.
The British propsed that officials
of the three powers take turn-
about in giving the briefings to the
press.
‘DIVORCEES AN'
Women Organize to Slow US Divorce Rate
Unhappy because they felt that
in too many cases they rushed to
the divorce courts too soon, a group
of Chicago women have formed a
group which they hope will have
some effect in slowing down the
accelerating U.S. divorce rate.
They call their group “Divorcees
Anonymous” and their major aim
is to salvage other marriages which
are headed for divorce.
The organization came into being
as a result of an effort by Samuel
Starr, Chicago attorney, to effect a
reconciliation between a n es-
tranged couple. But a divorced
woman who happened to be in his
office at the time, was successful
when she tried it. “I asked her to
help me again,” he said, “and be-
fore I realized it, ‘Divorcees Anony-
mous’ was born.”
CLOAK & DAGGER:
Russian Wise Guy
It was beginning to appear—as
pieces of the picture fell together—
that Uncle Sam had been played
more or less for a sucker by a Rus-
sian wise guy who pretended to be
won over to the American ideology
by the Voice of America broad-
casts, and who wanted to come to
America and be a United States
citizen.
LAST October 9, two Russian air
force lieutenants, Anatol Borzov
and Peter Pirigov, landed in the
U. S. zone of Austria in a stolen
Russian bomber. They had had
enough of Russia, they said, in ef-
fect, and would like to become
U.S. citizens.
According to the Soviet Em-
bassy, Borzov suffered a change of
heart late in July and begged for
“prodigal son” treatment: Mean-
while, U.S. agents had discovered
the “change” and Borzov was ar-
rested by U.S. agents and held
secretly at Ellis island. Then he
was flown to the U.S. zone of Aus-
tria and returned to Russian juris-
diction.
DURING the interim, Pirigov,
who says he wants to stay in Amer-
ica, told newsmen that Borzov
tried to bribe him with Soviet em-
bassy funds to return to Russia.
It was reported that Pirigov had
been beaten by Soviet agents.
The one essential element to the
chain of events as to whether it
proved Borzov a spy was missing.
That was confirmation. The U. S.
state department would neither con-
firm nor deny any of the stories
being circulated.
IT merely revealed that a U. S.
note on the Borzov affair had been
delivered to the Soviet embassy.
There is an old, old adage that it
is “very easy to believe what one
wants to believe.” It may have
been that sort of wishful thinking
that led state department officials
to smile benignly on Comrade
Borzov’s desire to “change” al-
legiance and become as one with
Americans. *.
'FAIR DEAL':
Author Irked
President Truman continued in a
fighting mood. He told newsmen he
was going to keep Maj. Gen. Harry
Vaughan as his military aide—ap-
parently despite anything the cur-
rent “5 per center” probe might
develop.
Then, setting the theme of the
1950 congressional campaign, he
lashed out with a slashing attack at
his recent pet aversion—“organ-
ized selfish interests” which, he as-
serts, are trying to block his fair
deal program with a “scare-word
campaign.”
HE DECLINED to name the
“selfish interests,” still campaigned
against the 80th (“do nothing” he
called it) congress. Evidently, Mr.
Truman felt he knew a good thing
when he saw it. If- he could bq-
elected to the presidency—when
few felt he had a chance—by cam-
paigning against the 80th congress,
campaigning against it again ought
to do good for his side in 1950 bal-
lot tests.
Getting away from the 80th for
the moment, he talked about the
81st congress, declaring that the
Democrat - controlled legislators
had made progress with his Fair
Deal program in the teeth of
“trumped-up slogans” like “stat-
ism,” “welfare state,” “collectiv-
ism,” and “socialism.”
THE PRESIDENT said the peo-
ple will not be disturbed by such
“scare words” dreamed up by a
“lot of paid agitators, promoters
and publicity experts who make a
fat living by frightening the people
in the high-income groups about
forward-looking legislation and by
organizing campaigns against it.”
