THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1951 SEALS WIN 3 STRAIGHT| By Assoclated Press Things are looking up today for ‘Manager Lefty O'Doul and his Sar Francisco Seals. After losing their first 13 games and being tabbed by some of the fainthearted as a sure fire doormat in the Pacific Coast League, the Seals definitely are on the road back. They have won three straight. They also have won their first series. The O'Doulmen flattened Oak- land, 1950 champs, by a score of 6 to 1 yesterday. Artie Wilson, Seal outfielder, socked a homer, and ‘Wally Hood, ex-University of South- ern California pitcher, on option tc the Beals from the New York Yan- Kees, limited the Oaks to five well- spaced hits. Elsewhere, Los Angeles dumpec Hollywood, 6 to 5, and Sacrament downed Seattle, 5 to 1. Ken Gables, big righthander from Walnut Groye, Mo., pitched Sacra- mento’s victory. He limited Seatth to six hits and received good sup- port both in the field and at bat Jim Tabor and Herman Reich con- nected for home runs and Bob Boyc smashed a triple that scored twe runs. The Hollywood game produced & quite unusual play. A hit, two run and a double play came on onc pitch, A crowd of 2,039 saw the game at Oakland. There were 3,370 at Hol lywood and 4,365 at Seattle.

NO-HITTER PLASTERED By Associated Press Maybe it’s a hint on what is in store on opening day next week in the major leagues. Anyway the St. Louis Browns plastered a 1-0 no-hitter on the St Louis Cardinals last night in their exhibition game at Houston. Ned Garver pitched the first eight inn- ings, was lifted for a pinchhitter, then Lou Sleater finished the no- hitter by gemng Harry Lowrey, Red Schoendienst and Stan Musial with- out. trouble. Howie Fox came up with his sec- ond routezgoing job of the Grape- frult league season yesterday as the Cincinnati Reds crushed Washing- ton, 12-3, at Lynchburg. Va. Fox scattered eight hits and lost his shutout in the sixth inning when sophomore outfielder Irv Noren smashed a three-run homer. Jim Hearn, who hasn’t approach- ed his 1950 form, went all the way as the New York Giants dropped a 5-4 decision to the Cleveland In- dians at Atlante. Willard Nixon and Bill Wight pitched the Boston Red Sox to a 6-1 vigtory over Columbus (AA) at Columbus. The Sox wrapped up the decision with three runs in the first inning off a former team- mate, Cot Deal. The Brooklyn Dodgers, with Jackie Robinson and Rocky Bridges, hitting homers, whipped the Balti- moye Orioles, 11-7, in a night game at Baltimore before 15,406.

Coudert, Jr. is in- troducing a bill into Congress to rescue the profession workers of this country from permanent pov- erty. For precisely that fate faces lawyers, doctors, architects, writers and others, who no matter what they earn, are being squeezed be- tween taxes and high prices, with- out any opportunity to save for the future. Coudert's bill is to aid those men and women who are not eligible as beneficiaries of corporate or other private pension plans. These plans ara really savings. For instance, I was recently looking at the card of a Sears, Roebuck file clerk who had been with that company many years and, as I calculated it, she has saved, through their p'an, $6C.- €00. I would not mir< being & file clerk with such savings. Professional men, writers, artists, farmers and small business men are now unable to make great savings, unless ‘they swindle, because of taxes which are geared against them. Coudert’s idea is to permit the postponement of Federal taxes as regards a portion of their earned net income, so that the amount of money shall be contributed as a resiricted retirement fund. The worst phase of this situation, as it affects professional men, wri- ters and artists, is that their earn- in are up and down, a lot one yeer and not so much another year. If they could keep their earn- ings, they could average out over a few years. But the way it is, a writer may earn a fortune in one year and get .taxed for the full amount in that year, and then he does not earn for a few years and is broke. The treasury amortizes ines; why not men? Coudert says: “It is of utmost importance to encourage young men to enter the prefessions and small busjness ven- tures. Yet the operations of the present tax laws, instead of giving i this encouragement, tend to do the act opposite by making corpor- mach- ation employment more attractive| to young men. I believe this to be against the public interest.” I tried to read the «Coudert bill and, like all other acts of Congress dealing with taxation, it gets so involved that you have to hire a {lawyer and an accountant to dis- cover how it works. But it is enough for me that it gives to the white-collar folks a chance to put’ aside something of their earnings for the day when the joints ache and the hand is shaky and the eyes are not so good. Even columnists lose their pop- ularity after a while, and some even lose their limited good years. I, for instance, started in this bus- iness in 1917. I have, I hope, 'worked hard at my trade, which :nvolves voluminous reading, the cultivation of memory, travel in many parts of the world, and some small, unheroic element of risk. In our business, a young person is hired on the general assumption that he knows nothing. Then for 10 or 15 years, he keeps on lgarn- ing the hard way, his product ap- pearing in- black ink on white pa- per for all to see. So our hero arrives. But so has Uncle Sam. He tells his wife that he is now a big shot, but she wants to know how it happens that E. Merl Young’s wife grabs a $9,540 mink coat while she has to wear mouton, which is fancy for sheep- skin. Our genius tells her to go fight the treasury. Well, maybe there are ten wonderful years, during which the great man sits on the dais and rises for a bow and then up comes another young fellow and pushes him into the back pages. So there is nothing to do but to become a ghost-writer. But savings! There are none ex- ’| cept what Uncle Sam gave to the British to kridge their dollar gap— ALASKA \REORGANIZATION "CATCHING"; ORE.

A man really earns little more than he can keep after he has met taxes and his cost of living. Men who want to save and eannot save because their taxes are too high, are not earning what they think they earn. Actually, they are only an intermediary step between those who pay them and the trea- sury. What remains is herdly com- pensation for the work they do. They are being kidded; they are kidding themselves. The Coudert bill offers a good way out and should be supported.
