Here comes more...
More materials and easier credit—to prime the pump of industry and business by summer—are being promised or proposed today.
In a sudden burst, various government agencies or officials are ordering, preparing or proposing the following:
More metals for auto and appliances—and easier credit terms for selling them.
End to the cubs on credit for home repair and modernization jobs—and more construction materials for commercial buildings.
Easing of the ban on extending natural gas to new areas—and more steel for pipelines.
End of the voluntary curbs on states and cities borrowing for such purposes as paying veterans' benefits—once frowned upon as inflationary.
More steel for the expansion of taken now are being planned.
IN THE MATTER of metals, it is partly a case of the military needing less now that the defense effort is being stretched out over a longer period. In the case of the oil, natural gas and ship building industries, it is partly due to more materials becoming available and partly due to the need for expanding their facilities.
In the matter of easier credit terms, the reasons given are both the dwindling of the inflation threat and 'the desire to park up sales in depressed areas of business.
Earlier granting of more metal to the auto builders is already bearing fruit. Auto production is up. And workers are being called back in Detroit and Flint. Mich. The government now plans to Hal Boyle
NEW YORK (P)—During last war many a weary trainee must be easier to the keys to Fort Knox than to the average hotel room.
Hotel desk clerks were powerful than the neighborhood butcher. Remember how they looked at you if you had armies? Yes, even though assured them you'd be paid content with a cut in the box point—or even a blanket quilt on the mezzanine.
The room shortage battles noyed some people so much swore they would never their own heartthats again forced out by fire or flood.
Well, the good news for today—you can start hitting the road again, fellows. Hotels you now. The emergency is now. The welcome mat is at the front door. The desk clerk again "yes, sir."
"Business is excellent, but terrible pressure is no limit there," said Frank Wangemann of an old European hotel family. "We no longer have spend most of our time saying 'no' to people we'd like to take care of."
Wangeman, now 39, served apprenticeship in such over-alls as the Ritz in London and swank George V in Paris before becoming general manager of Roosevelt hotel here, which came to more than 250,000 guests a year.
He believes that hotelkeeping, now one of the nation's eight largest industries, is the same transitory phase it was in Hal Boyle's day.

Earlier granting of more metal to the auto builders is already bearing fruit. Auto production is up. And workers are being called back in Detroit and Flint, Mich. The government now plans to let auto manufacturers make up to 1,150,000 cars in the July-September quarter — as against some 950,000 in the present quarter.
But, to sell these new cars may become the chief problem.
Anyway, it looks for sure that easier credit may be on its way back.
Unruly kids...forever...
A Penn State college professor recently offered a couple of significant quotes about the younger generation which supports the contention that they're getting out of hand.
First quote: "The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority. They show disrespect for elders, and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room."
They contradict their parents, chatter before company, and tyrannize over their teachers." Second quote: "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days ... children no longer pay their parents."
The first came from Socrates, the second from an Egyptian priest about 4000 B.C.
TV-RADIOLOGIC
Army or Night Clubs Question for Contino
By JOM R. DANSON
HOLLYWOOD — Dick Contino, accordion artist who is making his first professional appearance at the Moçambo since his trouble with the Army last year, for which he has paid the penalty, right now is more or less on the proverbial limb. He doesn't know whether he will be inducted into service (and he is ready for this) or if he can continue with future bookings at entertainment spots.
Charlie Morrison, owner of the Moçambo, should certainly be commended for giving this
At the age of 15, Dick got real serious on the matter and started with lessons under the direction of Angelo Cagnazzo in San Francisco.
It was here that Dick developed his famous "bellow shake," which today, is copied by most accordion players. It was also this style of playing, that won the applause time after time on the Horace Heidt show, thus starting the lad on the road to fame.

Wangeman, now 39, served apprenticeship in such over-salaries as the Rits in London and swank George V in Paris before becoming general manager of Roosevelt hotel here, which calls to more than 250,000 guests a year.
He believes that hotel-keeching; now one of the nation's eight largest industries; is the same transitory phase that department store was a generation ago.
"About 20 years ago we were trouble attracting outstanding young men because they didn't want to work in a service industry," he said.
"But not any more. It's a business offering big rewards. Right now we have in our washing department a boy who took postgraduate courses at Cambridge University and a former British Naval officer commanded a destroyer. There is a graduate of Yale working as file clerk in our accounting department."
"They are learning the business from the bottom. So many you men with good educational and family backgrounds come to that we have to remind them look Johnny, this business is all glamor—it's hard work."
THE TRAVELING public lilies to be romanced and pampered made to feel at home, and small hotels are now trying to do actly that. How? by streamline service, providing better parking facilities, modernizing rooms, stalling high speed elevators.
"Everything now is geared speed." Wangeman said. "The things guests hate most is to kept waiting."
Women are playing a big role in influencing change, as wives often pick the hotel when the family journeys together. There is also an increasing number of travelling women executives.
"Women are no more demanding than men, but they are more precise in what they do want and more appreciative when they get it," Wangeman said. "That like light, cheerful, well-decorated care of."
the Mocambo since his trouble with the Army last year, for which he has paid the penalty, right now is more or less on the proverbial limb. He doesn't know whether he will be inducted into service (and he is ready for this) or if he can continue with future bookings at entertainment spots.
Charlie Morrison, owner of the Mocambo, should certainly be commended for giving this last "break" back into show business, however. Dick's artistry could hold its own in any spot in the country, and lodging from the sublime Continue receives, he is in full public acceptance.
"I don't care how I contique on," Dick told me, "If it's entertaining the servicemen—or entertaining the public—just as long as it's music."
It doesn't take long, after talking with this handsome, personable young fellow, to know that music is his life. He is very sincere, a true artist, and thinks strictly in terms of music. When he made his mistake with the Army, who, in this writer's opinion used Dick's case as an example because of his notoriety, he had no idea of the consequences. I regret—music was, and is his only thought.
Dick proved this point with his statement: "Music is my life—I don't care whether it's $25 a month with the Army, or $4000 a week with night clubs—as long as they let me play."
Continuing playing the acoustic when he was 7 years old but dropped his practicing six months later. His interest was revived again when he was 12, but only on a minor scale.
It was here that Dick developed his famous "bellow shake," which today is copied by most all accordion players. It was also this style of playing, that won the applause time after time on the Horace Heidt show, thus starting the lad on the road to fame.

WASHINGTON — On the day President Trump moved back into a completely rebuilt White House, Westbrook Pegler entered a Boston hospital. Maybe the shock was too great. Pegler had argued that the White House "ought to be destroyed." It is symbolic of royalty and privilege and of the wormous infestation of the American government by traitors, vile opportunists peddling imperial favor and trimming suckers."
Matt Cunnelly's jaw almost dropped off when he heard his boss, the president, announce he wouldn't run again. Though a White House secretary, Matt made it all too clear he wasn't in the know...
Said magnanimous Jonathan Daniels, first Truman biographer, to recent biographer Bill Hillman, author of "Mr. President": "your sense of timing was better than mine."
Attorney General McGrath may not be efficient, but at least he's frank. He now admits that he didn't really expect Newbold Morris to do a real job of investigating the Justice Department, after all.

Kirchman May Face Carter in 440 Tomorrow
Another duel between the two finest sprint men in southland prep cinderdom will be in the offing tomorrow as Orange's Landon Carter and Anahim's Larry Kirchman and their respective school teams meet at 3 p.m. on the Orange field.
Whether the pair of speedsters will meet in their favorite event, the 440 remained uncertain this morning and probably won't be decided by Colonist Coach Sam Keith and Orange Coach Ed Gardner until the meet is under way tomorrow. They will probably again meet in the 100, the 220 and possibly the anchor lap of the relay, however, and could well crack the amazing marks they have already chalked up this season. Coach Keith says, "we'll run Larry where it'll do him and the team the most good."
RATED CLOSE to even in all events, the pair, after being relatively unpushed all season, will tomorrow give each other their hottest competition this year.
Carter, Orange junior, was fifth in state 340 finals last year and has been steadily improving. Run steadily in high gear since the opening of the season by Coach Gardner, he dashed the 440 at the Southern Counties meet last week in 49:5 to equal the meet record and check in the fastest 440 in Southern California this year.

Here's what happened:
1. Monte Irvin, left the champion Giants at league runs battled 1951, broke his right exhibition game against at Denver, Colo. Irvin, least half of the cars possibly the entire set.
2. Ted Williams, star left fielder of the Red Sox his physical examination sonville, Fla., and will active duty with the Corps on May 2.
3. Jerry Coleman, the Yanks, also passed cal examination at Fla., and will return to the Marine Air Corp May 2.

They figure Taft would end up in the White House before the end of the term... What some GOP leaders don't realize is that, with a preponderance of Democratic voters in the nation, they need a candidate who will woo Democrats. The two Republicans who can do it best are Eisenhower and Warren of California.
Charles Van Devander, retired publicity expert for the Democratic National committee, may be replaced by astute Tim McInerny, former brain truster for Tom Clark.
Twice in the past two weeks, the president has pulled the rug out from under his Democratic party chief, Frank McKinney—once at Key West when he denied that the question of running again was linked with the Korean truce; again at the Jeff-Jackson dinner when Wuhan spilled the no-run beans without tipping a word to McKinney first. The Palace Guard also is trying to pull the rug out from under McKinney. He's not easy enough for them to handle.
Under the Dome
Senate investigators have uncovered another tanker scandal. It involves the North American Shipping and Trading company, which racked up a fabulous profit on a dozen tankers and liberty ships sold by the government for a song. Under the law, the ships were supposed to be sold only to American citizens. But the investigators found that the company was just a front for Stravos Naichos, a Greek citizen, who financed the deal behind the scenes for three million dollars.

Carter, Orange junior, was fifth in state 340 finals last year and has been steadily improving. Run steadily in high gear since the opening of the season by Coach Gardner, he dashed the 440 at the Southern Counties meet last week in 49:5 to equal the meet record and check in the fastest 440 in Southern California this year. He also has dashed off a 27.8 second 220 and a 10 flat century—both meet record breakers. His only defeat this year came in his one meeting with Kirchman when the Anaheim flash nipped him by a small yard in the 100 at the four way meet at Huntington Beach earlier this season.
TRAINED UNDER a different system, Anaheim's Larry Kirchman has taken it easier in early competition and competed only in shorter distance races. Coach Sam Keith, pointing to many instances where teen-age trackmen have "burned themselves out" in efforts to keep themselves at peak performance has wisely preferred to give up "sure points" for his team so that Kirchman could gradually round into a form that would place his peak performances still ahead of him. Accordingly, Kirchman has yet to officially run a clocked 440 in competition. Indication that his speed is as great or better than ever came last Friday in the El Monte Relays, however, as he dashed off an elongated 440 lap in a relay at times clocked variously from 48.8 to 49.3.
The blond AUHS senior, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. H Kirchman, 408 N. Pine, last year was runner-up by a nose in the state 440. Although his fastest official 100 this year, posted early this season, was 10:2, he has recently been clocked in several 50's at 5.5 and gives every indication of being able to run the event faster.
THE REST-OF tomorrow's events, while taking a back seat to the Kirchman-Carter story, promise occasional sparkles, even though Anaheim is woofly undermanned. Eli Peralta, after being out with injuries all season, probably will be back in Fla., and will return to the Marine Air Corps May 2.

Government clean-up man Newbold Morris is so determined to win Senate support that he is making personal calls on all but three Senators. He hopes to visit one Senator in the morning and two in the afternoon every day until he has talked to all 93. The three he won't bother with are McCarthy of Wisconsin, Nixon of California, and alumit of South Dakota, who opposed him in committee.
Hotel near a railroad station and notice that its lobby clock tremened a little fast? well, it probably was—about three minutes fast. That is to protest dawdling guests.
"The closer a hotel is to a railroad station," said Wangeman, smiling, "the more likely its guests are to miss their trains."
PASADENA (T)—National pentathlon champion Brayton Norton humbled a field of top track and field stars yesterday to win the Pasadena pentathlon meet at Muir College Norton, from the San Diego Naval Training center, finished the five-event affair with 3105 points.
THE REST—OF tomorrow's events, while taking a back seat to the Kirchman-Carter story, promise occasional sparkles, even though Anaheim is woefully undermanned. Eli Peralta, after being out with injuries all season, probably will be back in a suit and may take a crack at the low hurdles, 220, relay and shot put. Should both Carter and Kirchman back out of the 440, a "second class" duel may well develop between Anaheim's Ira Webber and Orange's Hal Richardson.
Orange's strongest events are in the mile, where Ed Dnbow has been a consistent winner; the shot put where Jim Donegan regularly picks up points; the high jump where Robin Fairbairn rules and the 880 where Fred Stading is boss.
With Aaron Peralta, ace Colonist hurdler still out, dash and relay man Don Davis out this week with the flu; and miles and high jumper Gene Winger also out—the Colonists appear strong in little but-the dash events.
League preliminaries are set for April 22 at Huntington Beach and the finals, Friday, April 22, at the same track.

Giants, Yanks, Bosox Plagued By Bad Breaks
BY RALPH ROBIN
Associated Press Sports Writer
The 1952 World Series opponents may have been determined on April 2—two weeks before the official opening of the season.
Three teams, the New York Giants, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees received severe jolts in their pennant ambitions yesterday while the hopes of a fourth, the Philadelphia Phillies, were boosted.
Here's what happened:
1. Monte Irvin, left fielder of the champion Giants and National league runs batted in king of 1951, broke his right ankle in an exhibition game against Cleveland at Denver. Colo. Irvin will miss at least half of the campaign and possibly the entire season.
2. Ted Williams, star slugger and left fielder of the Red Sox passed his physical examination at Jacksonville, Fla., and will report for active duty with the Marine Air Corps on May 2.
3. Jerry Coleman, infielder of the Yanks, also passed his physical examination at Jacksonville, Fla., and will return to duty with the Marine Air Corps also on May 2.
4. Curt Simmons, crack lefthanded pitcher of the Phillies, will be discharged as a Sergeant of the 28th Infantry Division. He will return to the United States from Germany within 10 days.

CHAMPIONSHIP FLAGHT
Upper Bracket — Elmer Sorenson 68 vs. Earl Conrad 73; Don Mollica 74 vs. Don Baker 76; Jack Acorns' Hittle Pitches Shutout Against Padres
By The Associated Press
A five-hit shutout by Oakland's lefty Lloyd Hittle over the San Diego Padres featured second day play in the Pacific Coast league's 1952 season.
The 5-foot 11-inch 27-year-old from Lodi, Calif., who has served two hitches with the Washington Senators, was never in trouble Wednesday as he bested Jack Salveson in a pitching duel, 1-0.
Although he allowed four bases on balls and fanned only two batters, Hittle kept in the driver's seat by spacing the hits. Only in the eighth inning, when he gave up two, did the Padres threaten. The rally was squelched when Dain Clay was thrown out at home trying to score from second on a single by John Davis.
The Oaks scored in their half of the eighth when Len Attyd singled, moved to second on a sacrifice and came home on a single by Eddie Lake.
At Sacramento, Los Angeles' Tod Davis batted five for five to spark the Angels to an 8-6 victory. The third baseman got a triple, a double and three singles, driving in three runs.
Los Angeles pounded the Solons' Walter Clough for 15 hits, including a sixth-inning homer by outfielder Bob Talbot, who drove in Les Layton and Davis ahead of him.
THE RECALL of Williams and Coleman to the colors was expected but the loss of Irvin came as a shock and cast gloom over the Giant camp.
Irvin was injured in the second inning in a game Cleveland won 5-0. He walked to lead off the frame and zipped around second as Army bound Willie Mays singled to right field.
Cleveland shortstop Ray Boone cut off the throw from the outfield and hung Mays up between first and second but Irvin slid into third anyway. He suffered a compound fracture of his right ankle.
The broken bones were set at a local hospital and his leg was placed in a cast.
Irvin batted .312 last year and led the league in runs batted in with 121. He also starred in the World Series against the Yanks, batting .458.
Irvin's loss probably means that Bob Thomason will forsake third base for his first love, the outfield. Hank Thompson, a disappointment last year, figures to return to third. The situation is further complicated by the expected induction of Mays.
The injury was the fourth serious one of the spring. Previously infielder Billy Martin of the Yanks and third baseman Vern Benson of the St. Louis Cardinals broke their legs. Bob Slaybaugh, a rookie Card pitcher, faces the loss of an eye. Slaybaugh was struck in the face by a batted ball in batting practice.
Newport Harbor Wins Swim Meet
Anaheim Union High school splash men were overwhelmed, 50-15, in a lop sided swimming and diving meet held yesterday afternoon with Newport Harbor at Huntington Beach Municipal course this week.
Doug May of Santa Ana is defending champion. Finals in the classic will be played on the May 3-4 week end, with play until then being at the rate of one round a week. Pairings:

At Sacramento, Los Angeles' Tod Davis batted five for five to spark the Angels to an 8-6 victory. The third baseman got a triple, a double and three singles, driving in three runs.
Los Angeles pounded the Solons' Walter Clough for 15 hits, including a sixth-inning homer by outfielder Bob Talbot, who drove in Les Layton and Davis ahead of him.
At Hollywood Tom Saffell bash-ed his first PCL run—and a lulu it was. With one out in the last of the ninth, the score tied and Gene Hardley on first, the new Hollywood outfielder lashed a triple to deep center and Seattle succumbed, 7-6.
The Rainiers kicked the game away, making five errors which led to three unearned runs. The usually flawless Artie Wilson, shortstop who helped Oakland win the pennant two years ago, accounted for three. One of them let in the tying run in the eighth.
A timely blow told the tale in the San Francisco-Portland counter, too. It was pinch hitter Will Haley's double in the ninth. It scored Arcade Blasalti and gave the Seals a 5-4 win over the Beavers.
A wild and sloppy contest, it was tied up in the eighth at 4-4 on a home run by Portland outfielder Clint Conatser with Don Eggert on base.
