...veterans' problems could open the starting lineup to a number of sophomores. The only sophomore starter on the southern trip was outfielder Dan Hootstein, but outfielder Bobby Leo, who chiefly saw pinchhitting duty on the tour, and first baseman Joe O'Donnell might find slots if Shepard should decide to shake the team up by juggling the lineup...
...their message seems to be getting through. A current study by the Finance Ministry concludes that governmental relief is indeed "indispensable" to the industry, and recommends, as a starter, reduction of the 24% special tax. Yet, as last week's demonstration National Defend French Cinema Day proved, the film industry cannot be saved by tax relief alone.

He accused Don C. Silverthorne, president of the defunct San Francisco National Bank ($41 million in assets), of "gross misconduct and gross deception," said that he had exacted huge fees from some borrowers and then spent part of the money gambling in Las Vegas. "Untrue-and he knows it," replied Silverthorne, who gets his chance to testify this week...
