FOOTBALL “POOLS” LOST OUT Report hath it that 10 of the 12 football “pools™ which started out the season befting against the judgment of pigskin fans folded early as a result of upsets. Occasionally such woes befall the gentry who back their judgment against that of horse players, but the “sport of kings” is so well organized—from the bookmakers’ standpoint—that we can't recall any s son in which nearly all of thg bookies were confrontd with simultaneous bankruptcy. There probably is some sort of devious moral in this, if one cares to ferret it out. The most obvious explanation would seem to be that football games are incomparably harder to “fix” than horse races. Or putting it in more pleasant terms, the man in th street is denied inside information on the intentions of jockeys, owners and trainers in the case of hors racing (which is a very technical business), but in football the studious fan has just as much knowledge available to him as the sharpshooter who rates the teams on the football pool cards. When the 11 Communists, recently convicted in New York, were released on bail, pending further dis- position of their case, there was a hue and cry over the procedure. The New York Times took the fol- lowing views: “The release on bail of the eleven Communists | The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round 8y DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page One) hour and a quaint old antique: suits of armor, and lar.

It is reasonable, as | the Court of Appeals ruled, because a ‘substantial | question’ had admittedy been raised in the appeal.' No matter what we think of the characters, words or‘ acts of the convicted men, we have no right to ask‘ that they be punished until their conviction has been | ned by the higher courts; to do so would be to ite what the higher courts will decide. | te granting of bail is prudent because it pre- | su anti doubt that these men would be of more value to their party in jail suffering for their ‘cause’ pending an appeal than they will be when out of jail? If the ap- peal were sustained and they became legally immune to punishment, we well know how eagerly our leading anti-democrats would capitalize on the situation. Bail involves the calculated risk that one or more of the defendants will skip if prison looms ahead. We believe the other considerations outweigh this particular menace.” Logging Stagnation in S. E.

Yet there is an increasing demand for timber. our wonderful forests continue to wave in splendid isolation without the sound of an axe There is something wrong somewhere. The monthly Review of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, on the lumber situation says: «Individual® district industries have resp naed 10 various cross currents of demand during the past few months.

The demand to western producers; the mills of the Douglas ®ir arca shipped out more lumber in September th‘:m n any month since early 1948.
