Vn.son appeared before' the ways and means committee to testify, but it was increasingly evi-' dent that his efforts to save the urogram had failed Much of his testimony today was directed to offsetting .sentiment on 'he committee for a sales tax indicating that the adminstration has finafly j realiz'd the hople:. .ness of its position, and decided to launch a counter attack against a form of taxation the president repeatedly has denounced. An eighth inning rally led fey Johnny Linden, former Henry count’.- resident and relative of the L’ndel’s of north Henry county, gave *he New York Yankees a 6 to 2 victo y over St. Louis this afternoon. The Yankees were trailing 2 to I when Linden came to bat. He hit a single which ’urned into a double on an error. Later as he ra°ed to third, he collided with Kurowski, was called out for an instant and then when the umpire saw the ball rolling away from Kurow fti was declared safe at third He later scored and was followed by f'l’r of hts mates, making it 6 ?o 2 Linden had received praise earlier in the game when he got under the ball for a 430 foot drive that would have been a homerun in most of the ball parks.

Converted from a pitcher to an outfielder this year, Linden has played good ball, but his batting had cooled considerably since the start of the season He has many friends in the county. He has spoken at the KiwanLs club here the last two .ears at the conclusion of the ball season Two years ago he was a member of the Newark club and last year was on the Yankee pitching staff. The game today put the Yankees out in front two to one. The series will be resumed next Sunday in St. Louis.
