DOUBLE PLAY BY GOMELZ 1S MADE, GOURT Yankee Pitcher Must Pay Reduced Alimony, Also Counsel Fees NEW YORK, April 5. — Vernon “Lefty” Gomez, pitcber fcr the New:York Yankees, hit into a fi- nancial double play in a court tussle over his wife's separation suit. The court ruled he must pzay his wife, June O'Dea, musical comedly player, $75 a week temporary ali- meny and $750 counsel fees, before he can get an adjournment cof his trial in her divorce action pending his arrival from the training camp which will be the latter part of this week at least. The court reduced the alimony esked from $150 weekly to $75 and the counsel fees from $2,000 to $750. - Income Booster ST. PAUL, Minn,, April 5—Co- operative management of the farm woodlot promises increased mone- tary return while insuring a sus- tained yield, says Dr. Raphael Zon, director of the Lake States Forest Experiment Station. | Dr. Zon bases his conclusions on a study made in the vicinity of Yuba., Wis., in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin, to de- termine the possibility of immedi- ately improving income from farm woods. The average income from sale of wood lot products on the farms surveyed now is $122 a year. Through cooperative management and marketing, Dr. Zon says, the cut would be reduced about 20 per cent to perpetuate the stand, but the income could be increased to $179. If good cutting practices could be enforced over a considerable period, he adds, the return per year could be boosted to $313 for each farmer.

Nobody seemed to value the un- | cut gems enough to buy them and | they were of no use as jewelry in the rough. Others might have let it go at that but this mountaineer did not.

At Wupatki national monument in Ari- zona recent excavations in pre- historic stone ruins have brought to light a room which geologists estimate was occupied in 1168.

The func- ticn of the gallery is to serve as a show-window and bring the mer- chandise into view of the buyer When you walk into a hab dashery or real estate office you are practically overwhelmed kindness and attention. They turn con the salesmanship, offer helpful little suggesticns, and are so per- suasive that you usuailly w out with for more than you intcnded te buy You will find nothing mating this in the art ies Manhattan. To me they seem jloomy, inhospitable, and depress- ing. Nobody greets you or i ifter your wants. Nobody Nobody says, “Would you like to see 14th century portraits? They are in the left wing. Or perhaps vou are interested in current pa te they are on the floor above but I will be glad to show them oy« appros fact, tho only 5 a few visit- As a matter of people you se2 be or: e a number of attendants, d ed in a sort of uniform and standing with their backs against ;reat white marble pillars, lost in nelancholy detachment. What their function is I do not know, being no mind-reader, but probably they are there to keep you from drop- ping live cigarette butts on the rugs or walking out with a Rem- randt concealed under your coat- Recently, to verify an earlier opinion, I dropped by the Ander- scn galleries in 57th Street, where mest of the important galleries are | situated. Here again was the same vague disinterestedness, nobody say- ing anything, solemn-faced guards taring mcodily into space. For nearly half an hour I dallied amfd old world treasures whose ac- cumulated value would finance a Balkan kingdem. I had never been there before. Nobody knew that I wasn't a prospective buyer \.wth meney in my pocket to spend. Of course, the fact that I needed a shave .and wore the gaunt hungry look of a newspaperman might have had something to do with this indifference. Nevertheless, after 30 minutes of tiptoeing around like a timid rabbit I got out of there without a single soul 0 much as saying, “Here's a snappy little van Gogh. Couldn't I wrap it up for you?” But then again, maybe I'm being a little less than fair. The Ander- son galleries, after all, are success- ful, and maybe the democratic idea of salesmanship is all wet. Perhaps the day isn't too far in the future when we shall all of us be tiptoeing reverently into the grocer’s, and, after a decent interval of scholar- ly contemplation, say softly to the “TH-THIS WUZ JESS SOMETHIN' T SAW AT TH' MOVIES! 7 butcher: “Would sepsitive nature if w.ap up, two pounds of that irloin steak?” - PLANS T0 END POVERTY., FIND JOBS FOR ALL Pennsylvania Democrat Has New Scheme—Buffalo Nickel Be Changed WASHINGTON, April 5-—Notes a-roaming. Painless prosperity note: Repre- sentative Matthew A. Dunn, Penn- sylvania Democrat, has introduced a bill “to provide $65,000,000,000 which shall be expended within a period of 10 years to furnish em- ployment and to end poverty in the United States and its posses- cions.” HOw would he raise the money? Mr. Dunn has that solved. His bill provides that “the Presi- dent shall be authorized to appoint a committee of at least five mem- kers . to devise ways and means 10 8 re the money lo carry out the provisions of this act. It shall be the duiy cf the committee to ob- n (he said money from sources which will work at least hard- ship on the taxpayers of our coun- try.” it offend your I asked you to nice Peace (?) note: Rev.

Navy men are efficient, he said, but “have never had an op- portunity to know the necessily of meeting a payroll . . . Somewhere somehow in our defense establish- ments it is my deliberate judg- ment that there ought to be rea experienced businessmen who at least can give their experience and ability to the services engaged in national defes spending large sums of money for that purpose, This is another instance without a remedy. I have none to suggest. I raise the question, however, . . . and whether you agree with me or not I think there are plenty of places where a real businessman could save the United States gov- ernment hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dol- lars—and I do not mean to confine that statement to the branches of national defense. I think it is large- ly true of all departments of our government.” . AIN'T IT THE TRUTH Tough luck note: Representative Summer of Texas laments that when A.
