U S Senator Henry Dworshak argues against partial aid and proposes a bill to amend the 1948 sugar act. He notes the continental United States produces only about 30 percent of the sugar Americans consume and seeks to give farmers a larger market share.
The senate has voted to add two new states, Hawaii and Alaska, but the house faces a rough path to action. Alaska argues for representation and federal parity, while Hawaiians urge immediate statehood for the United States.
Senator Dworshak voices concern as sugar act limits press farmers to swap crops. Domestic sugar production rises by 200000 tons to 2000000 while 200000 tons were allocated to foreign producers. Idaho and western farmers, many veterans on new homesteads, face squeeze from wheat allotments and weak potato markets, hindering beet growth.
Bobby Wallace, veteran pitcher and infielder, in a two part Sporting News feature, argues that modern pitch types such as screwball and the so called new fangled offerings strain a pitcher more than the old fireball and dizzy twisters. He favors traditional power pitching in clutch situations but warns against dogmatic contrasts.
Wallace cites a shifting pitching theory in The Sporting News noting batters adapt to tiny margins and a rabbit ball. He references Dr. Robert Hyland’s claim that stuff pitchers strain muscles and may shorten careers while praising Robin Roberts and Allie Reynolds as still classic.
Milo Johnson a 33 year old right hander of Viking ancestry is set for a relief pitching trial with the Detroit Tigers. Fred Hutchinson says Johnson has excellent control and seven seasons in the Southern Association with Little Rock back him up. Johnson recalls his first Florida trial with the army at Fort Drew near Tampa and service in the 8th Air Force in England.
