Sherman Frank (“Big Red’’) Crise, who broke his pocketbook in the Bronx on his own account and later busted his back in Burma for Uncle Sam, doesn’t fit in any sim- ple pigeonhole. It is hard to figure something this gusty, six-foot, 250- pounder hasn't tried — and done | well. “I guess racing has been my real business,” he said. “‘The things | basin, a spark plug business a 65- | T love are speed, money and ma- chinery. “TI like playing with. an engine more than anything else in the world, but you can’t make real money getting your fingers dirty, so I turned to promoting.” “Big Red” is one of the first two men to pioneer midget car racing in America and at 47 is one of the key figures in the nation’s auto racing industry. “Of course, it’s fast and danger- ous,” he said, grinning, “But I have promoted more than 500 races since the war—and there hasn’t been a driver killed in one yet.” “Big Red” has always enjoyed living life at full throttle. He trained as a Navy flier at Pensa- cola, studied banking, engineering and economics. He went into Wall Street, made a fast buck, and got out before the 1929 boom fell apart. Then he became a speedboat, hydroplane, and airplane racer and a BOYLE SAYS ;an Invasions. While flying “The Hump” in 1945 he ran out of gas, | parachuted and broke three verte- bra. It took 12 days for the rescue Party to get him back to his base. “I walked the first nine days,” he said, ‘but I couldn't stay on my feet the last three.” During a 17-week recovery peri- od in a hospital near Miami, while awaiting discharge, he had a yacht | basin built. | Today “Big Red’ owns the yacht | foot yacht, auto racing tracks at Allentown, Pa., and Washington, |D.

Eisenhower's recent speech— his first since Premier Georgi M. Malenkov succeeded to power upon the death of Joseph Stalin—was a challenge to the new Russian Government so sincere and fairly word- ed that public opinion in cost of the countries of the world has hailed it a major effort for world peace. Diplomats in almost every country of the world, outside the Soviet orbit, believe that the President regained the initiative for the West in the field of peace-making. ~ Seldom has a speelh by a U.S. President been re- ceived more enthusiastically in various world quarters and the three questions which the President put to the new Russian rulers were indeed timely ones. He'asked: 1. “Is the new leadership of the Soviet Union prepared to use its decisive infulence n the Communist world—including the «.. control of the flow of arms—tg bring not merely an ex- > pedient truce in Korea but genuine peace in Asia? 2. “Is it prepared to allow other nations, including those in Eastern Europe, the free choice of their own form of government? . 8. “Is it prepared to act in concert with others upon a serious disarmament proposal?” | os These three questions, put flatly to the Communist rulers, shift the responsibility for peace to Russian shoul- ders and demonstrate to the world that Eisenhower is making a real effort to find a peaceful solution to the world’s problems. In addition to asking these questions, the President promised to welcome and enter into agreements aimed at these peaceful objectives, once a Korean truce was effect- ed and other world tensions removed: 1,.A limitation on the size of military security forces of all nations. . . 2. A limitation upon the proportion of total production of strategic materials devoted to military purposes. 3. International control of atomic energy and the pro- hibition of the use of atomic weapons. 4. A prohibition of the tse of other destructive weapons. 5. A practical system of inspection, to enforce these agreed limitations and prohibitions, under U. N. auspices. We believe a majority of both parties salute the Pres- fident’s speech as an effective appeal to the nobler in- * stincts of mankind, and an effective weapon in the ever- present battle to win over world sentiment in support of western ideals, Money should not be the end sought in life. EY “iF ANY OF YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHY WE&@E HERE. TODAY'S © BUSINESS By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK #—American busi- ness appears to be piling up 10 per cent more profits than a year ago—and about as much as it did two years ago. The first 386 companies to re- port net income after taxes for the first three months of this year show their combined profits 10 per cent higher than the first quarter of 1952—which was about that) much below the 195i period. Nearly three-fourths of the re-| porting companies are running ahead of jast year. A year ago two-thirds of the companies were running behind their 1951 earn- ings. This year 101 companies dropped behind—10 operated in the réed, the same number as a year ago. The best group showings this year are by the airlines, aircraft and retail—each has profits three times as large as a year ago. Others that are doing much bet- ter than a year ago are: apyjj- ances, up 45 per cent; food up 3 per cent; beverages, up 22. per cent; textiles and cement, each up 20 per cent; and motors up 19 per cent. Groups falling behind include: Coal, down 59 per cent; drugs, down 7 per cent; and oil, down 3 per cent. Groups which have the largest percentage of firms falling behind include: coal, oil, steel, mining, business machines and drugs. The reports of 38 companies, of course, is only a sampling. Fi- nal figures may: change the pic- ture. And the accounting is confused year basis, and others on a half- year basis, expecting it to lapse in June. If EPT expires on schedule, some company earnings will look even brighter. Rails show a 19 per cent gain as a whole, to lead the major di- visions. Utilities are up 10 per cent, and industrials are up 9 per cent. For the 386 corporations as a whole, profits come to $1,377,791,- 247. In the first three months of 1952 the same companies had eombined earnings of $1,29,964,- 139. The good showing of most cor- porations reflects the generally booming production rate of the! economy—now at a peacetime rec- ord high. Along with the gain in earnings has come pleasant news for many | stockholders. Dividend payments so far this year are running about |S per cent ahead of this time a year ago.

Trades And Public Utilities Unions Agreeable To Taft By ROWLAND EVANS JR WASHINGTON, May 1 (#—Sen. Taft has expressed “agreement in principle” with a proposal to exempt the building trades unions and local public utilities from the Taft-Hartley labor act. He said he could not see how the federal government had any right to settle a local. street car strike in Milwaukee, for instance. “I can't see what a streetcar railway in Milwaukee has to do with interstate commerce,” Taft told newsmen. But the CIO Friday blasted the proposal, advanced by chairman H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ) of the Senate Labor Committee, Arthur J. Goldberg, CIO general counsel, said Smith’s amendment does not “‘meet the standards of fairness and justice in our labor relations laws repeatedly promised by. President Eisenhower.” He said it would open the door to compulsory arbitration and would “‘revalidate the compulsory arbitration’ statutes enacted in several states purporting to deal with public utility disputes .. . which have been declared jpvalid by the Supreme Court.” Thus the CIO lined up with John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, in strong disagreement with the Smith amendment. Lewis said the proposal has “‘a ‘bad smell.” Goldberg registered his protest in a letter to Smith. The Senate committee Thursday ended six weeks of public hearings on var- ious proposals to amend the pres- ent law. Taft said he had arranged with Chairman McConnell (R-Pa) of the House Labor Committee for Sen- ate and House committees to work together closely on the job of writ- ing amendments to the law. Taft indicated it would not be necessary for Secretary of Labor Durkin to testify, although Demo- cratic members of the committee Thursday formally asked the full committee to invite him to present administration vie That motion is scheduled for action next week. As for the proposal to remove utilities and construction employers from all coverage of the federal law, Taft said the problem involved was a definition of interstate commerce. He said it had never been his intention that building trades un- ions should be covered by the law, although in certain instances, he conceded. it might be necessary, “Why should we concentrate in Washington power over a lot of things that belong in the states?” at Thursday's hesring Taft wouldn't predict when the Senate Labor Committee might have @ bul ready for Senate con- siderat Tourist Bird Watcher NEW YORK (AP) — Miss Dero Key West In Days Gone By From The Citizen Files 20 YEARS AGO The last semi-official act of Ruth Bryan Owen, U. 8. minister to Ven- mark, former congressman from the Fourth District, was in the in- terests of Key West and the bridges.
