This, it appears, has advanced from the stage of a possibility to a strong probability. Except for Hollywood and Los Angeles, virtually all of the other six clubs in the league are reported to have lost money this year. Some lost very heavily. In Oakland, for example, owner Brick Laws' team has drawn about half the attendance of last year which, in turn, was down considerably from previous seasons. The turn outs in San Francisco have also dwindled in spite of a very good showing on the part of the Seals. Most other cubs also find that customers are the vanishing American of today. If the downtend in attendance were a temporary thing the owners would ride it out until things got better. But the outlook is not for an improvement but for still less enthusiasm on the part of the coast fans. Owner Paul Fagan of San Francisco, according to a copyright story in the San Francisco Chronicle, has already decided to give up his franchise. If San Francisco did not give up its franchise, it would be interested in new people in their interpretations in comparison to natives.

If San Francisco drops out the rest of the owners may follow suit. If this happens, the Coast will be without top flight minor league baseball for the first time in half a century. The demise of the Coast League might simplify the transfer of two major league franchises to Los Angeles and San Francisco. But, at best, it would probably take several years before this could be effected. Nothing Right, Harry? Harry Truman is his old "give-em-hell" self once again. His labor Day speech in Detroit was probably the opening gun of the 1954 Congressional campaign in which the Democrats will endeavor—and may well succeed—in recapturing control of Congress. Traditionally, the party in power loses strength in the legislative branch in the off-year elections. 1954 may be no exception. But, strangely enough, some Democrats feel that their best chance of unseating the Republicans lies in contending that they have supported the President on vital issues on which his own party has deserted him. But getting back to Harry's speech; we doubt that the public is now convinced that there's "nothing right" in Washington. To be sure there are many things that still need to be changed or improved. But most of these are the problems and situations left over from the Truman Administration. At least, the Eisenhower regime is making the first real effort in the past two decades to curb reckless spending. It is also endeavoring to establish integrity and a sense of responsibility in government. Neither is an easy task after the years of easy money and morals in Washington. To be sure, there are some things which even Ike's staunchest supporters have criticized in the new administration. But, on the whole, the progress made thus far has been good. And the fact that public opinion polls give the President a more than 80 per cent approval from the people speaks louder than Mr. Truman. $9,600 a Year for Nothing Do you wonder what happens to all that money?

Much of it is spent usefully. But a lot is wasted. For instance, a State Department employee recently told a House committee that in more than a year of being on the payroll at $9,600 per annum, he'd never been given any specific job to do. He didn't even know what the branch of the Department he was working for was supposed to accomplish. What excuse can be offered for this kind of waste? SONGS OF A SONNETEER BY R. LOUIS SCOTT "OUR GRATITUDE!" Thanks be to God for Life—and for Being; For the myriad tasks which fill each day; For the time to love—to laugh—and to play; For listening ears—and for eyes, clear-seeing—the senses of touch, of taste and of scent, Which help to guide us as we tread Life's way:— Tho we, with our kindred disagreeing, Would seek surcease from labor wearying— We should thank God most for the right to pray! Mohammad taught that prayer is better far Than hours of ease—or dishes succulent—And he was right, in prayer there is no bar Between God and His servant! Weary, spent—Man yet, thru prayer, may reach the farthest star! Moslem - 2/57 Kaltenborn Edits the News BY H. V. KALTENBORN and ROLF KALTENBORN After the last war the Allies agreed to recognize Austria as a liberated country. Austria was forced into the war in 1939 because the Nazis had invaded and annexed Austria the year before. Yet in 1958 unhappy Austria is still occupied by the Big Four powers and paying the occupation costs. In addition the Soviet Union continues to squeeze some $75,000,000 a year out of her Austrian occupation zone. "We CAN'T EVEN TELL how much is being taken out because we don't control our own frontiers," Chancellor Raab complained to me. Austria's leaders feel that their country continues to be something of a pawn in the cold war. Bundchancellor Raab feels that the recent relaxation of Russian controls has a direct connection with the German situation. RIOTs in East Berlin, Magdeburg and other German cities revealed to the Krehlin the weakness of the Soviet positions in the German satellites. The Malenkov regime is now playing for a neutral Austria and a less hostile Germany. Some persons in the easy-going country might welcome neutrality head of the Austrian Cabinet put it this way: "Austria has no intention of assuming a neutral attitude toward communism. Nine-ty-five per cent of our people are anti-Communist." Whenever a people has had contact with Communist administration it wants nothing more to do with it. "Just now the Soviet representatives here are surprising us with one concession after another. Someone in the Kremlin pushes a button and we see the results. munist vote. It remains about three and one-half percent with a somewhat larger percentage in Vienna. EVERYONE IS TALKING MOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS ON AND IN THE Soviet zones, everyone agrees that the Russians are unpredictable and there is telling what they may do from day to the next. So I got one grey card for journey through the Soviet zone to Linz in the American zone. This was issued by the American Army of Occupation without Russian control, but to get near the Hungarian border I had to have a different grey card, this one counter-sign by the Russians. This card fits a specific destination, Eisenstein and required me to make a journey by car without stopping along the way. At Schattenberg, the Austrian border town, a secret police agent entered the two-car train and asked if anyone was getting off Hungary. No one answered; train moved on past the barb wire and ploughed-up mines that marks the frontier on Hungarian side and then stopped. Russian and Hungarian soldiers armed with sub-machine gun jumped on or off this Austrian train as it passed through a corner of Hungary. Fortunately my wife and myself there was not checking on credentials either or coming. For the first mile in Hungary scores of villagers stood beside track and exchanged enthusiastic waved greetings with the Austrian passengers. They were still there when returned hours and later they waved. This time several Here in Anaheim we have a group who will publish devote hours advocating world cooperation. But the same people will, on the other hand, advocate a long in of their own city, a complete isolationing of town in an attempt to maintain the "small" town village aspects of this community. They will go far as to advocate complete cancellation of any new divisions, the bringing in of any desirable selected estries, the expansion of the business district or community growth in any of its desirable constructive necessary aspects. They wish to stop the clock in local growth for our own selfish gains. They, as individuals, have sufficient security to maintain themselves and are content. We now desire to prohibit newcomers from having the opportunity of developing the same. It seems that it would be impossible to advocate something for national purposes and then reverse the policies on a local level and be sincere regarding it. If an ear is to be lent to their rantings with any free of faith, best they stick to a common ground and policy. The David Lawrence Dispatch (BY DAVID LAWRENCE) WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. - Donna-MaClean - a British official among his friends as a munist - in some strange included the British Security forces in May 1951 and disappeared behind the Iron Curtain bear-confidential information he had accumulating from his interactions with the Governors of the United States and Britain. Now his American-born wife has appeared under circumstances very mysterious, and the world wondering whether the British security service fell down again whether perhaps it now will be the position to confound its crippling exposing the whole story revealing that perhaps it has been all along what was going on. The latter theory is one that really arises wishing among us familiar with intelligence. For it would be incredible the British Security service, how important it was to observe scrap of information about the whereabouts of MaClean associate, Guy Burgess, did fall to shadow the family in Switzerland and keep in touch with anyone who might seek to talk to the wife of the missing diplomat. Whether Mrs. MaClean has gone to see her husband voluntarily or involuntarily, the fact remains that it way: "Austria has no intention of assuming a neutral attitude toward communism. Ninety-five per cent of our people are anti-Communist." Whenever a people has had contact with Communist administration it wants nothing more to do with it. "Just now the Soviet representatives here are surprising with one concession after another. Someone in the Kremlin pushes a button and we see the results. "We do not propose to act independently in our relations with the Soviet Union. We consult the Allied representatives, before we move and our policy is carefully coordinated with that of the western powers." EVERYONE HERE IS OPTIMistic over Austria's economic situation. When ever Austria gets back the industrial, agricultural and raw material resources which the Russians continue to exploit for their own benefit throughout their large occupation zone, Austria will be able to pay her own way. But her leaders aren't sure they will be able to pay Russia the $150,000.00 in blackmail to get back what Russia took over at the end of the war. Unemployment totals 100,000, but that includes numerous women and young people. Austria has developed a considerable iron and steel industry since the war and there is a large potential water power development. Tourist business has doubled. Many Germans take advantage of the lower cost of living here and the French strikes also helped. IN AUSTRIA the propaganda battle between the Soviet Union and the United States continues at big Aerika Haus operation and we have our Communist states like Hungary operate their own propaganda headquarters in central Vienna. To offset the Communist press we subsidize the daily Vienna Kurier, which is probably the best and most popular Austrian newspaper. It is almost self-supporting and could probably carry on without our help. We also supervise the operation of a big radio station to off-set the Soviet control of the leading Austrian station. IN THE RUSSIAN ZONES where I spent several days tha a Communist propaganda efforts are intensified. Excellent Russian moving pictures are offered in all major cities but I noticed in Wien Neustadt, the big industrial city east of Vienna, that there was a one schilling (four cents) admission charge. This was waived for everyone who attends the Communist lecture that precedes armed with sub-machine gun jumped on or off this Austrian train as it passed through a nearer of Hungary. Fortunately my wife and myself there was check on credentials either got or coming. For the first mile in Hungary scores of villagers stood beside track and exchanged enthusiastically waved greetings with the Austrian passengers. They were still there when returned hours and later they waved. This time several old women wept as they moved toward comparatively Austria. Presumably they were Austrians, caught in Hungary at the end of the garr kept till ever since. Our train made two stops Hungary and we had a chance study the propaganda pictures, gans and percentage of - scoop plishment tables that are found in every Communist rail station. At Sobron, a good-sized Hungarian industrial town, a huge red-topped the factories to indicate that they were working for Communist cause and not for impoverished Hungarian people. We were allowed to keep the big windows of our third-coach. This was not permitted to a few weeks ago. My wife ped numerous pictures, include several of our uniform guard. The Hungarian farms are located in large units and are well kept them those on the trian side. Hungary's railroad workers trained to salute in military ion. There may have been Communist officers on our since even the switch tower atts stood at attention while train passed. At Deutschkreuz the only refused to drive the one mile to the Hungarian frontier when we proposed to walk we told to look out for mines. People on the train both going coming were tight-lipped and anxious until the Communist guards dropped off them before it entered Austria. everyone relaxed. On the return trip we hung longer through-train. At Extra guards came on board looked through all the coaches ignored the passengers. Here in Vienna it is easy to persons who have spent some in Hungary or Czechoslovak Their reports agree on the uyly conditions of life in both proviances. Here in Vienna Comm propaganda is omnipresent. hope we are selling the war free world more success than the Reds are promoting way of life. (Copyright 1953, General Tufus Corp.) The latter theory is one that largely arises wishfully among the familiar with intelligence. For it would be incredible the British Security service, how important it was to observe scrap of information at the whereabouts of MaClean his associate, Guy Burgess, and fall to shadow the family in Switzerland and keep in touch with anyone who might seek to talk to the wife of the missing diplomat. Whether Mrs. MaClean has gone to see her husband voluntarily or involuntarily, the fact remains that the off-distributed story from some London surces that MaClean and Burgess had been somehow "liquidated" doesn't seem plausible now any more than the first unofficial intimation that they had just gone on a "holiday binge." It will be important for the British Security service to reestablish faith in its efficiency by getting all he facts, and maybe that's what they have been doing these last few days and some day will reveal. American officials are much concerned because again the subject of an exchange bot atomic secrets with Britain is up for consideration and Congress is not likely to amend existing law to provide a free interchange if British security methods are believed to be lax.

Squeezing—Orange County— By FRAN STERLING Sept. 19 This also is the season when little boys and girls leave Orange County to go to Pomona and gaze up toward the bottom feathers of chickens at Los Angeles County Fair. The inside of rabbit ears are studied by ten-year-olds. All ages like anything that costs money. All Rights Reserved If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin Othman's Views on Washington Scenes By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN WASHINGTON—The great curse of American business, according to Emmett J. Leahy, who knows more about this than anybody else, is carbon paper. It not only gets smudges on the stenographer's pretty nose, but spawns out records faster than rabbits. These go into the files (where nobody ever looks at 'em), and if this doesn't stop soon, Leahy said, there'll be no room in America for people; only filing cabinets, and that's an olive drab prospect, for sure. Leahy's a young man who cleaned out a few hundrew tons of old papers for the Navy Department during the war; in four years this saved us taxpayers $21,000,000 in space and file clerks un-needed, and brought Leahy a citation for his services. Upon looking around after the armistice, he decided that American business was a bigger waste-paper saver even than the Government. So he set up shop in New York as America's only specialist on the problem of getting rid of papers and business is booming. He came to Washington to make a speech before the Society for the Advancement of Management and that's where I ran into him and his terrifying statistics on carbon copies. For every man employed in the Navy, it has 34,000 separate pieces of paper, even after Leahy's clean-up. This is good. Another of his clients, a leading chemical firm, has 58,000 papers for each one of its employees. Leahy expects to consign at least 40 percent of these to his bonfires, with no damage whatever to the chemical business. He said that invention of the typewriter did no harm; it only made letters look neater. But around 1900 came carbon paper and then a wide variety of duplicating machines and now, look; wherever you turn, filing cabinets full of old papers, sandwiches, and discarded items of female underwear. In the course of his file cabinet emptying, Leahy's also turned up the ashes of two business pioneers: long dead. This business of tucking useless papers neatly away, he said, is an American phenomenon. Nowhere else in the world are so many copies of so many letters saved. This is because the other nations don't have the machinery to turn out the copies. "And, of course, the bigger the business, the more the papers in the files," he continued. "As an organization grows larger, the more people squirrel away papers to prove they're doing a good job." Leahy figures that it costs 20 cents to produce one of these pieces of paper and one cent a year thereafter to save it. American business now is grinding out 175,000,000 pieces a year. He said his first job was to reduce the birthrate of papers and then do away with those already making the floors sag. His idea is that 40 percent of the average business papers can be burned and another 30 percent packed in cardboard cartons and hauled off to warehouses, where the rent is cheaper. This leaves considerable more room in headquarters for mere people. Unless more businesses turn to some such system, he predicted that America eventually will become a nation of file clerks, so busy shuffling papers they'll have no time for anything else. Even today there is one office worker for every two factory workers in America, a 100 percent increase since the invention of carbon paper. Leahy tries not to use the stuff in his own operations. Even so, his own files are in horrid shape. If he ever catches up with paper-burning for his customers, he intends to have a bonfire in his own back yard. It's either that or add more closets to his house. (Copyright, 1953, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
