Business...employment...taxes... The question of who was right and who was wrong over the proposition of cutting state taxes at the 1952 session of the legislature is one which is likely to be debated for some time to come. It is, of course, history now that the move to cut taxes through dropping the sales tax half a cent, reducing personal income taxes, as well as bank and corporation franchise taxes, was a failure. The move, however, was one which got a long way farther than first base and probably would have been effectuated but for the opposition of Governor Warren. Although the fight for lower taxes in which Assemblyman Harold Levering of Santa Monica was a militant supporter, which maintains fairly accurate records of California's working population, said that the labor force averaged 408,000 in 1954, and indications are that it will continue to increase. This was nearly a half million more than during the previous year. Reports from commercial organizations maintaining sales records on chain stores point to a 9.2 per cent increase in February over the same month last year, while the department store index indicates about a five per cent increase in sales. ON THE OTHER hand, Board of Equalization officials point out that sales are "not quite" under TV-RADIOLOGIC. Cobina Wright Try for Her Own By T HOLLYOOD—One of the refreshing personalities I've on television is the fabulous Cobina Wright, who is here New York with an eye set to a show of her own, and after ing her doing a couple of shots, think she would be In recent weeks, Cobina has making these appearances, to about herself, and about her "I Never Grew Up," now third printing. After meeting her at a in her honor, sponsored by man Mover of Chico's, I asked him just how old she is, and the reply, "I've had about age so many times. I really know. I decided I just would grow up."

She was then asked just party stood out in her mind the best she had ever after with her reply being: "Any p I give myself. I always enjoy own parties the best of all." reducing personal income taxes, as well as bank and corporation franchise taxes, was a failure. The move, however, was one which got a long way farther than first base and probably would have been effectuated but for the opposition of Governor Warren. Although the fight for lower taxes in which Assemblyman Harold Levering of Sanita Monies was a militant supporter, engendered some bitter feeling among the legislators, it is not out of line to say, now that the battle has died down, that both sides were bound and sincere in their beliefs, and that both sides put forth every effort to win their point, despite the pressure exerted. And the pressure from leading business interests on behalf of tax reduction was tremendous. A look at the over-all picture may give some indication of the facts as they will apply to state treasury revenues for the 1952-53 fiscal year, which was the period involved in the proposed tax reduction. OBVIOUSLY, CHANGES in the international situation could affect business materially, but at the present time, there is no indication of decreases in sales or employment insolar as total figures are concerned. The state Board of Equalization, which has the most accurate picture of sales in the state through its collection of the sales tax, says the figures indicate on a preliminary basis, that the February sales this year were five per cent above February last year. The Department of Employer Reports from commercial organizations maintaining sales records on chain stores point to a 0.2 per cent increase in February over the same month last year, while the department store index indicates about a five per cent increase in sales. ON THE OTHER hand, Board of Equalization officials point out that sales are "spotty", which they say may account in some measure for complaints that business activity throughout the state is on the decline. Purchases of material for plant expansion, they state, is another factor in maintaining and increasing sales tax payments. "From all the experiences we have," one board official said, "the sales tax take this year will show an increase over last year." What the board describes as the phenomenal level of sales for the fourth quarter of 1951, which topped $400 and a half billion dollars, can be accounted for in part, it states, by the "rising level of individual income resulting from the expanded defense program, and in part by higher price levels." Thus, the fly in the comment is the fact that while sales are up, the physical volume of goods sold, so board officials state, was not as large in the fourth quarter of 1951, than in 1950. All of which points to the fact that there were good arguments on both sides of the tax reduction picture, with proponents convinced there was an injustice in piling up funds, and opponents convinced an economic change would injure tax receipts.

Outside the house she noticed a young lady of pleasant proportions wheeling a baby carriage. One baby was in the carriage, while a small child clung to the young lady's hand. "Are those Princess Juliana's children?" Mrs. John Roosevelt asked. "Yes," replied the young lady. "Arent they lovely! I'm going in to see their mother." "I am their mother," replied the young lady, with modest pride. Princess Juliana not only had brought her children with her on that trip, but was their own nurse. She would put the children to bed then go to an official reception then come back to change diapers. On this trip, however, the children are staying back home in school.

The dope bucket was upset when John Bradley, the odds-on choice in the 440 and rated a hot Olympic prospect, ran third. Doug Huntze’s winning time of 49.7 was comparatively slow, but good enough to beat teammate Don Timmerman and Bradley, even though the SC student body president had the inside lane.

Little Al Mejia, who had been sidelined earlier in the year with an injury, had run a 9.7 time trial earlier in the week and appeared at last sharp and ready.

The Angels, winners of six out of seven against Sacramento, open their home schedule Tuesday night with the first of a seven-game set against the Hollywood Stars.

The coming series should give a good indication of the leaders' early strength. THE OTHER SERIES. this week find Seattle at San Diego, San Francisco at Oakland, and Portland at Sacramento where Joe Gordon was so disgruntled with his charges last night he sent them through batting practice after the double header. Los Angeles trimmed the Solons twice 4-2 and 6-1 to lead Hollywood, San Diego and San Francisco, all with 4-3 marks. In the other games all split twin bills—San Francisco winning over Portland 5-2 and losing 5-3; Hollywood shuttling out Seattle 3-0 then falling 5-3; and San Diego topping Oakland 6-2 before being edged 3-2.

LAST FRIDAY the Anaheim thinclads took their first meet of the season as they topped Carter and company from Orange high. 54½ to 48½. The long-anticipated duel between Carter and Kirchman came off only in the 100 yard dash—and settled nothing, since both runners finished in a dead heat in 10.3. Kirchman then ran the 440, sans Carter, and following recommendations of Keith, coasted in in the event in a "slow" 51. After the same fashion Carter ran the 220 unpushed by his rival and won in 22.2. Anaheim dropped the relay to Orange, as Carter bested Webber in the anchor lap.

Again Cleveland Gets Nod to Win League Flag on Spring Showing BY GAYLE TALBOT OKLAHOMA CITY UP—At approximately this date each spring we select the Cleveland Indians to win the American League pennant. It has become a habit not easily broken. This time the feeling is overwhelming that the Tribe will take it going away, barring injury to one or more of their key players. They are an impressive set of athletes, and not just because they have been giving the Giants their lumps on the training trail. They have everything they had last season, when they pursued the Yankees to the wire, and they appear to have added some strength in the form of a big rookie outfielder named Jim Fridley, who hits from the right side. Luke Easter and Larry Doby are hitting them a mile and running the bases with an alarming abandon. It's difficult to see how they can make. Easter is the key man. The 225-pound Negro was crippled much of last season, but he had his knee mended during the winter and is getting around like an oversize gazelle. He could hit anywhere up to 40 homers and drive in maybe 120 runs. Peter Reiner, the old hard luck kid, is putting up a spectacular battle for a pinch-hitting job with the club. A free agent, the one time Brooklyn star just dropped into camp and began slugging the ball. In his first six times up he hammered two doubles, two singles and drew two walks. THERE HAS BEEN only one disappointment. Sam Jones, the highly touted rookie pitcher from San Diego, reported with his throwing arm so sore that he finally was shipped down to the Cleveland minor league camp in Florida to try to get it in shape. Sam pitched all winter in Puerto Rico, and the Indians official family is not at all happy with him. Sooner or later players contracts are going to prohibit extensive winter ball. Otherwise the Cleveland staff just as countless other athletes from Hawaii and other U.S. possessions have in past Olympics. And yet Senator Tom Connally of Texas made that infamous remark a few weeks ago, during the discussion on the bill for Alaska and Hawaiian statehood, that he was a better American than the Hawaiians. Good enough to win triumphs for the U.S. in sports, but not good enough Americans, he, Senator? Someone ought to suggest to the Honorable Mr. Connally that he take Konno's place in the Olympic swim trials. That's a ridiculous remark, but so was Mr. Connally's. Biggest tragedy to hit the baseball world in a long time is the Bob Slaybaugh case. The St. Louis Cardinal southpaw underwent an operation Saturday for the removal of an eye. He had been injured a couple of weeks ago when truck by a line drive in batting practice. How much tougher luck could a man have? This incident, combined with the death of Detroit pitcher Art Houtteman's infant daughter in an auto accident, has the baseball world in general wearing pretty long faces. Max Zaalofsky, one of the top basketball players in professional ranks, was only a substitute on the St. Johns college cage team. Softball Notes Tomorrow night will be the first meeting of the Anaheim Industrial League Softball, to be held at 7:30 p.m., at the Recreation office, City Hall. This will be a get acquainted meeting and iron out possible problems which may arise, according to Jim Wright, director of Softball Leagues. Be sure your team is represented. Wednesday night at 7:30 the City League Softball will hold its first meeting of the season in the Recreation Office, City Hall. Jim Wright, director softball leagues, says, that every effort to attend this meeting if possible, as we would like to set the schedule and iron out all problems for an early start. So let's have a good Softball League this year and have a good turn out of last year's team managers and any new teams which desire to enter this year. Everyone is invited to attend. The highest total of goals scored by two teams in an American Hockey League playoff game was 14, when Buffalo defeated Cleveland 12-2 in 1948-49. During spring training at Vero Beach, Gil Hodges of the Dodgers won a fishing contest with a seven and three quarter pound black bass. In seven seasons of pro football, Bob Waterfield has completed 763 passes and gained 11,238 yards. San Diego, reported with his throwing arm so sore that he finally was shipped down to the Cleveland minor league camp in Florida to try to get it in shape. Sam pitched all winter in Puerto Rico, and the Indians official family is not at all happy with him. Sooner or later players' contracts are going to prohibit extensive winter ball. Otherwise the Cleveland staff is in sound health. There hasn't been an ache or pain among the big four—Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Mike Garcia and Early Wynn—and all are ready to go the distance now. The team should get a terrific start and probably will draw around 60,000, for its home opener.
