However, the leaders advised that the people were entitled to a frank report on how insurance benefits on which millions of Americans depend for retirement security have lagged behind higher wages and living costs. That was why Truman decided to send his message to congress anyway. Michigans aggressive representative, John Dingell, an original champion of the social security law, summed it up bluntly: Unless pensions are Increased in ratio to higher wages, higher taxes and higher hvmg costs, counties that have sold their poorhouses for the aged will have to them. y Dingell said it would be sound to increase pensions because of increased revenues from payroll taxes. He added: Sixty million people are employed now, more than we ever dreamed of when we changed the law in 1939.

Biggest problem, observed Federal Security Administrator Oscar Ewing, is providing protection for casual workers, such as domestic servants and farmhands. We might try the stamp system suggested they use in England, Ewing. I doubt that it would work here, remarked Mr. Truman. Its a nuisance to employers, difficult to administer and such casual employees frequently build up less credits for contributory pensions e than they could get in an assistance dole. EECRETaKy...

For some time, Washington observers were amazed at the number of visitors President Truman saw daily. But now the calling list has tapered off. The official list released every morning shows only a handful of visitors. What most people dont know, however, is that there are five separate entrances to the WTiite House, and in recent weeks Mr. Truman has been fooling the press. While regular White House correspondents wait in the lobby of the executive offices watching for presidential visitors, various private callers slip in other doors. Sometimes as many as 25 will flow into Mr. Trumans office unnoticed. They come in through various side doors, sometimes even the distant east wing, and then are spirited around the back through the rose garden and in to the President. Some old senatorial friends also drop around to see Mr. Truman at Others come in after breakfast. breakfast, but before the press Ed Flynn has been in arrives. twice lately, unnoticed. Former Judge Sam Rosenman is again a White House regular using the east gate, as is George Allen, the old court jester. Another new favorite Truman rendezvous is the presidential yacht, the Williamsburg, where he holds stag poker parties with old buddies, sometirfies sleeping on board and walking back to the White House early in the morning before most people go to work. Western Water Shortage THE STORY OF A MODERN RUSH to California, more significant than the 49 gold rush, was laid before President Truman the other day with a warning that the state soon will not have enough water to go around. Calling at the WTiite House, Congressmen Dick Welch, Re publican, and' Frank Ilavenner Democrat, both of San Francisco described how the East was migrating to the West at the rate of 1,000 newcomers a day. This tremendous influx has cost California millions of barrels of precious water from her dangerously dwindling reservoirs. of fresh Yet 73,770,000 acre-fee- t water from San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers empty Into San Francisco bay each year. The congressmen urged the President peron sonally to look Into this problem his trip to California and recommend what can be done to save the water. Mr. Truman pulled out maps of the bay region which he already had been studying, and assured the congressmen that he previously had intended to give the matter his personal attention. "There shouldnt be at shortage of water In that area, he agreed, with water running wild into the bay. it-- ..Dr. Chain Weizmann, famed Russian-bo- rn chemist and president of the newly created state of Israel, is shown as he presented President Truman with a Torah folconference at the White House.

He unloaded a freight car full of athletes on Tom Yaw key, the list Including Robert Moses Grove and most of hi stars. This didnt help the Red Sox any, but it wrecked the Athletics. They finished last again eight more years through 1945 when their case looked to be hopeless. Connie has finished last 15 or 16 times and next to last on many more occasions. He also finished first nine times. He came up with a pretty fair ball club last season In his 84th year. At least they finished fifth. Then came the big surprise this carried season as the Mackmen, and along by superior pitching some timely hitting, moved out In front. Where will the Athletics finish?

Connie finished fourth his first year and then promptly won his first pennant in 1902, his second start. He won again in 1905, and two years later began breaking up or dismantling his winning squad for the first time. He kept Bender and Plank, but got rid of Harry Davis, Lave and Monte Cross, plus a few others. In place of these he picked up Eddie Collins from Columbia, Stuffy from New England, Jack Barry from Iloly Cross and Home Run Baker from a Maryland hamlet. Connie finished second In 1309, missing the flag by n brief eyelash. By 1910 he had his greatest team a team good enough to win the pennant four timet from 1910 through 1914. The Red Sox with Smokey Joe Wood burning up the league won In 1912. The debacle of 1914, when the Braves won In four straight, sent Connie back to work dispersing another flock of star athletes.

His name is Charles Kid Nichols of Boston. Nichols isnt a good pitcher. He is a great one. I recalled this talk when the mail brought a letter from Ty Cobb at Menlo Park, Calif. I think everyone has overlooked one of the greatest pitchers of all His name is time, Cobb writes. Kid Nichols. Here are just a few of his records from 1890 to 190G: 1. Won three consecutive games on three consecutive days, alt pitched in different cities. 2. Won 20 or more games for 10 consecutive years. He won 3C0 and lost 202. 3. Won 28 or more games for eight consecutive seasons. 4. Best three consecutive years of pitching percentage. 5. Only pitcher of note to average 24 wins per year at present distances. Cobb also extends his admiration to Eddie Plank and Ed Walsh. Id take Ed Walsh as my first choice r peof all pitchers for a He literalriod, he told me once. ly pitched his arm off in 1908 when he worked in 60 games, winning 40 and saving 12 others. Imagine being responsible for 52 victories? Its hard to outrank Eddie Plank, Cobb said in his recent letter. Plank worked in 620 games, won 324 and lost 190. He was a fine pitcher smart and always He wasnt packed with control. as fast as Grove, but he was a tough man to beat."
