All last week, a debate affecting the pocketbook of every adult in the nation took place between conferees from the Senate and House over taxes. Newsmen and the public were not admitted. The chief debaters were two dis- tinguished and highly ~respected | gentlemen from the south—Sen. Walter F. George of Georgia and| Rep. Bob Doughton of North Caro- lina. In many respects they are| similar, but on taxes they vigorously disagree. Both are elderly—George 73 and| Doughton 86. Both have served in| Congress for a large part of the 20th century—George for 29 years,| Doughton 40 years. Both come from rural backgrounds, though George of late has numbered some of the | | nation's captains of high finance; among his friends. Doughton, despite his age, has long been the first Congressman to get to work in the morning. He used to open his office at 5:30 a.m., kut after passing his 80th birth- day, he compromised by getting |ritual to be performed by officers. | of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. | | | District Deputy Grand E.

Green, and Henry Winston are still Bring Bail Jumping Red Backfo U.S. Gust Hall Thrown from Mexico fo Open Arms of Waiting FBI LAREDO, Tex., Oct. 10—(®—Mex- ican secret police whisked Gus Hall, 41, national secretary of the U. S. Communist party, across the border here early today into the waiting arms of the FBI The Mexican Communist party had launched a fight against Hall's return to the United States. He had been picked up in Mexico yes- terday. Hall is one of four top U. S. | Communists who jumped bail in early July after they were con- victed of conspiring to teach and advocate violent overthrow of the U.S. government. | They were among 11 top Com- munists cowvicted under the Smith Act. Robert Thompson;, Gilbert at large. The Civil Rights Congress (CRC) which put up the four men'’s bail, lost its money when they skipped. An international search began | when the four failed to show up| to begin serving their prison terms.| A spokesman for the Mexican Com-{ munist party had said it would ask the Mexican government to let Hall stay in Mexico as a political refugee. But early today he was brought | across the border. Newsman Tom Green of the Laredo Times watched | as five men in an old model four- door Plymouth sedan, with Mexican license plates, drove across the In- ternational Bridge nere at 3 wm. Four of the men looked like Mexi- can officers; the other man looked like Hall. | In Washington, J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the FBI, announced Hall's arrest here. The FBI said | he was being taken to jail im- mediately. Mexican officials returned Hall to the U.S. only 23 hours after he was arrested in Mexico City. The Mexican Communists had called a meeting of their executive commit- tee today. The quick movement of Hall across the border took the matter out of the hands of Mexican author- ities.

The victory gave the American leaguers a 4-2 edge in games for their 14th champlonship. A last gasp rally by the back- to-the-wall Giants fell one run short in a two-run ninth inning rally when lefthanded Bob Kusava came to the rescue of Johnny Sain. . Pinch- hitter- Sel Yvars-lined -out to Hank Bauer who made a sliding sitting catch for the last out of the series with Whitey Lockman headed for home from second base. In desperate straits after Bauer's blast the Giants fought back hard to keep their miracle story alive. In the seventh they knocked out Vic Raschi only to have Johnny Sain, an old National Leaguer from the Boston Braves, stop | them cold, Sain wobbled past a rocky eighth inning to finally strike out pinch hitter Ray Noble with the bases full, In the ninth they loaded the bases on three singles wjth nobody out. Once again Stengel had to change pitchers, with lefthander Bob Kuz- ava replacing Sain. Two long fly balls by Monte Ir- vin and -Bobby Thomson let two runs trickle home. But they couldn't manage the last as Yvars lined to Bauer for a dramatic clincher. Sain tamed the Giants after they knocked out Raschi in the desperate seventh inning. Coming in with twe on and nobody out, the Arkannsas righthander put out the side 1-2-3, Again in the eighth after loading the bases with two walks and & single with two out, Sain curled a called third strike past pinch hitter Ray Noble. Bauer won the game and the big money pot that meant about $6,- 539 to each Yankee with his blast in the sixth. It was a 3-2 pitch from Lefty Dave Koslo that salled over Monte Irvin's head to break open a 1-1 tie. 50-Year Resident Of Alaska Dies in Seattle Home SEATTLE, Oct. 10—M—Funeral SECOND INNING | GIANTS — Rizzuto raced into the hole behind third to make a nice stop of Thomson’s bouncer but his long hurried throw puzzled | | Mize off the bag and Thomson was credited with an infield single.| | Thompson raised a high pop to Rizzuto near second.
