THK NEWHEKHY SUN. > S. (J. TIRE RATIONING If you are an automobile owner ii. search of tires, here is one thing to keep your eye on. The tire industry is pulling all sorts of wires back stage to lift export restrictions. At present they are permitted to export 400,000 truck tires and 100,000 passenger tires during the last quar ter of this year. They would like to export a lot more. In the first place, they don’t have to worry about OPA ceiling prices when selling abroad. Secondly, they can build up their postwar markets by getting in on the ground floor. So they would rather sell more tires abroad. But if they do, they ^ell less tires at home. And today a tire certificate issued to a person desiring to buy a tire is nothing more than a hunting license. He can go out and hunt for a tire. If he’s lucky enough to find one, his certifi cate entitles him to buy it. DEPARTMENT OF PEACE When the house foreign affairs committee heard testimony on the Randolph bill to create a department of peace, the star witness was a 64- year-old former mule-driver from Morgantown, W. Va. Chairman Sol Bloom and mem bers of his committee listened with rapt attention as Raymond M. Davis read a 16-page statement on why the United States should take the lead in establishing a new cabinet post to spread the gospel of peace throughout the world. After he finished, white-thatched GOP Rep. Charles Eaton of New Jer sey declared: “Mr. Davis, you may be un schooled, as you tell the com mittee, but you certainly are not uneducated. That is one of the finest documents I have ever listened to.” World Peace is not just a hobby with the West Virginia coal man, though he describes it as such. It is a burning ideal. A self-made busi ness man who now operates two coal mines employing more than 500 workers, Davis had made many speeches at his own expense throughout the country urging a gov ernment department of peace. He also fes written a proposed constitu tion for the United Nations that has attracted wide attention. The state department thought well enough of his ideas to invite him to the San Francisco conference as an observer. Rep. Jennings Randolph of West Virginia, freely admits that Davis was the chief spark plug behind his peace resolution. “When I was looking at the rear end of a mule all day in West Vir ginia coal mines,” says Davis, “I never thought that one day I’d be instrumental in having such an im portant piece of legislation intro duced in congress.” Note—The second initial of Da vis’ name stands for “Moses." Perhaps what we need are more plain, garden-variety Moses’ of the Davis type, instead of striped-pants diplomats, to lead us out of the international wil derness. • • • BOWLES HOLDS INFLATION FLOOD OPAdministrator Chester Bowles is one of the most abused men in Washington Everyone is badgering him. Congressmen demand that their constituents increase the price of this or that. Farm groups-want to raise the price of milk or cattle. Business groups want to abolish all ceiling prices. Probably the common man doesn’t appreciate it, but here are some things which will happen if Chester Bowles loses his battle to stop the inflation flood: 1. Every person putting his money in life insurance does so with the idea of getting his money back—100 cents on the dollar. But if there is inflation, the insurance dollar will be worth 75 cents, 50 cents, or even 30 cents. 2. Every person on a retired pen sion, whether a railroad employee, a college, a school or a big corpora tion employee, will see his income shrink if there is inflation. 3. Every widow living on money left by her husband will see that in come shrivel. 4. Every school teacher will have great difficulty having her salary move up when the value of the dol lar moves down. 5. Every civil servant, whether working for city, state or federal government, will be in the same boat as the teachers. 6. Every college endowment, every* charity or other enterprise with fixed invested capital stands ready to have its investment evaporate with inflation. Man About Town: Faces About Town: U. S.

Gr&ntland Rice G RAY frost-brown stubble — and the green of the pines—but even better looking the black and white or the brown and white of a pointer or setter freezing into action on the covey point — the only competi tor who reaches top competitive form as immovable as marble. Quail hunting with a good dog may not be the king of sports, but a good many millions think so and their day isn’t far ahead. And the dog is really the king of this autumn and winter thrill. This occurred to us when we ran into Andy Sage, the Long Island sports man, who owns and develops more champion field trial dogs than anyone we can recall off hand. His dogs have won the national championship six times, four of them in a row igainst the former record of two in a row. They have also won the big fu turity seven times in a row and ihey will be just as hard to beat in the coming tests on ahead. “My best dog,” Mr. Sage said, "is Ariel, winner of six championships. Ariel is now seven years old but can still range with the best. There are three fundamental qualities that make a great bird dog—scent, speed and stamina. In field trial tests there is also the matter of ranging class ar form to be considered. In my opinion it is harder to breed and develop a champion dog than it is a champion horse. There are many good bird dogs, 'of course, but few great ones that can win champion ships against the best. Ariel is my pick but Luminary isn’t far behind.” Field Trial Thrills Clyde Morton trains the Sage en tries in a secluded hamlet known as Alberta, Ala., which isn't far away from Selma. These champion ship field trials range all the way from Saskatchewan and Duluth to East Tennessee and while there are no mutuel windows, no football or baseball cheering, they have just as great a thrill for those who love the hunting dog and who travel far dis tances to see the best at work. The judges in these championship testa give their time, attention and devo tion to their work without any pay and they contribute a big part to any field trial’s success. The thousands of ex-servicemen and millions of others now in the woods and fields enjoy a double thrill. The first is the work of the dogs, without any question the most eager form of life in pursuit of the quarry. The next thrill comes at the covey’s rise when the tense silence is suddenly broken by the whirr of many wings—an easy looking target but an elusive one exetept for the ex perts. The first average tendency is to shoot too quickly and also to blaze away at the covey in place of select ing a single or double target. One of your correspondent’s great est shocks is to fire and see no feathers fall where so many feathers seemed to be at a close and unmiss able range. When you take up the major thrills of sport, the football player can offer a long run through a broken field or a long completed pass. The golfer has his long iron dead to the pin. The baseball player can counter with the home run or the triple. The horse player will take his chance on hitting a 50 to 1 shot oi_ the nose— or winning a husky daily double. The Elusive Turkey You can hear the clamor of the 10 million fishermen, moving from trout to bass to salmon to tarpon. But the nearest thrill to the dogs working and the covey rise is to see a wild turkey light in a tall pine close to your hide-out—and then try to spot him later only 20 yards away, as all 20 pounds of him suddenly vanish and yet you know he is there. Here is the greatest of all camou flage artists. The incomparable will o’ the wisp. Yes, even with a few occasional diamondbacks thrown in. I’ll take turkey hunting and give you the memory of a 40-foot putt with the match all squared on the 18th green. No wonder Andy Sage would rather have Ariel than another Man o’ War. Or would he? Field trials now cover a big part of the country. For example, Duluth has become a leading center in this respect where next spring Duluth sportsmen expect to hold one of the leading trials of the season. The East also has its trials and its share of good dogs. For here is sport in the final mean ing of the word. • • • Beau Jack Warms Up On the way to another football gathering we got offside and bumped into Bowman Milligan and Chick Wergeles, who are handling the pugilistic destinies of the returning Beau Jack. “We have sent Beau Jack back to Augusta to ready for his next fight,” Chick Wergeles said. “He weighs 144 pounds now and will soon be down to 140. Beau Jack is to meet the winner of the Janiro-Greco fight late in December. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST. OPPOR.
