TIE OBSEIVER
By CHARLIE HALL
Asked us we went along today and verdkt on this rudtu
as generally expressed was that it is a fix*! one.
Grady Slaughter's estimate that it was the largest at-
tended also was verified.
I nderstund the "take" was something like $l,tiSD. which
also was considered not bad for a no twain} day. Glad we
thought of that last expression, it seems t<> alleviate some
pains. But it we keep on getting "scattered showers" predict-
ed some are bound to scatter this wa.\ some day.
The rodeo announcer reported two couples from Ohio
seeing a rodeo for their first time. Got the low down from one
couple from Arthur Miller. He said they saw the swimming
pool, decided to stop and take a swim, inquired what alt the
flags were about, and decided to stay over ami see their first
rodeo.
Miller added betweeu 30 and 40 from out of town, many
from out of state, registered at the local swimming pool yes-
terday. You never can tell what a good swimming pool will
do. And, one might as well write about the rodeo. Everything
else has bowed to it.
One of the greatest needs of today is conservation of the
water that falls from the skies and runs off into the rivers
and down into the seas.
H. D. Collins, manager of the Brazos River Authority,
in his talk to Kotarians here Tuesday pointed out this great
need. He gave some comparative statistics we do not recall,

"Great Britain's socialist government has taken the
wrapps off gasoline service stations, after thirteen years of
operation under bureaucratic regulation.
"The 'service' station, as we know it in the capitalist
United States, disappeared in England when the socialists
took over.
"As a result, many Sealers charged for checking tires.
Drivers had to clean their own windshields, and wait, accord-
ing to Thomas F. Brady, correspondent of the New York
Tiroes* for a grudging attendant to detach himself from a
cup of tea in the back room to pour a few gallons of petrol in-
to their tacks at 48 cents a gallon.'
"Today, the sweet uses of competition have once again
put th^ customer in the driver's seat. The customer is the
most important person is the slogan of the training courses
which competitors were quick to provide, ironically, the
training of dealers includes films of American serviee station
operations showing how it is done—in a capitalist country.
"This change-over to competitive selling received as
much attention in the House of Commons'as if steel, coal and
hanking had been restored to private operation."
Thus again we find government in business does not
pan out well for the people.

leaped at the restaurant owner
who, being a onetime wrestler,
"Knocked me down then went to

Jones said he ran for his gun
and killed the man. Records show
that Jones was no-billed on a mur-

was considered in self defense.

Braves WHt Be
Tough For Years
By MILTON RICtlMAN
NEW YORK, June 11 <U.R^
Charlie Grimm, the man who pick-
ed his Milwaukee Braves to finish
this spring, revised his prediction
Thursday, not only for 1953 but for
lSf>4 und 19.y> as well.
"I guess 1 underestimated the
'•lub when t picked it to finish fith
this spring," admitted the Milwau-
kee manager. "Now, t feel we have
i chance to go all the way al-
though our chief ambition still is
to finish in the first division.
"The thing I like about our bull
club,** he added, "is that it is not
■>ue of those "one-year' flashes,
vou knew what I mean, a team
that'll surprise the league one year
und then fall way back and stay
there.
"We have a club that can win
the pennant for two, three and
mavbe even four years. It's a
young club ... a club that isn't
. veil close to its peak yet."
In the midst of a ^ive-ganie win-
ning streak, the Braves not only
are leading the National League
but are playing better ball than
any other team in the circuit
Former U. S. Spy
Becomes Defiant
WASHINGTON, June 11 'IMN—
A husky former U. S. spy, deco-
rated for parachuting behind Ger-
man lines in World War 11, shout-
ed defiance at Senate investigators
Thursday and refused to say whe-
ther he is a Communist.

Communist while he was a member
of the Office of Strategic Services,

But he refused to say whether
he was a Communist before join-
ing the OSS, or whether he is a
party member today.
Another wartime OSS official,
Leonard E. Mins of New York
City, was quieter than Wuchinich
but guw even less information.
Mins, a heavy, balding man who
described himself as a playwright
and translator, refused to say whe-
ther he was a Communist while he
was an analyst studying the Soviet
Union for OSS, or whether he is
now.
