TEN 'THE CORSICANA, (TEXAS) DAILY SUN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1961. Page May Supply Data Ball Players BY SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, Aug. gport fans, you'll find today's new set of baseball terms right on the financial pape. From now on the baseball player bolter learn nil about obsolescence, amortization, man-hour productivity, escalator clauses, merit raises, man-power shortages, and controls. Only It won't be the control the player's, familiar federal wage control.

A three-man panel, named by the Salary Stabilization Board to study the question of the hour, has held hearings here for the last two days, and hopes to settle the question by Labor Day. Must Decide Status. That question isn't whether the Bombers can overtake the Tribe, or whrether the Giants have any chance to moidcr dem Bums. It's whether a baseball player is more like a lawyer than a bookkeeper, In the eyes of the National Production Act. A bookkeeper's pay is controlled by the federal government.

A lawyer's isn't. If you think you have trouble Betting a merit raise out of your boss under the new law, or even under no law, you ought to hear Btan Muslal'g sad story. The boss signed up to give Stan a raise this year and was thrown out at third by the wage controls. Five other ball players in the two major leagues are also caught between that is. The Salary Stabilisation Board rules that no club can pay a ballplayer more this year than the top- paid man on that club got last year.

Muslal got $50,000 last year and was top man on the wage totem pole for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards agreed to raise him to $85,000 this year, but under the federal rules that extra $35,000 is nice to hoar about. It mustn't be take-home pay. Joe Dimagglo and Ted Williams get $100,000 or more.

That's where obsolescence, amortization and the other problem of, industry and finance come in. The baseball players and club owners tell the three-man panel that these big business words apply to them, too.

You might like to hear their arguments, ainco that train of thought possibly fits your case, also. Take obsolescence. In business that means that machines and buildings wear out, and management sets up depreciation funds to replace aging machines. And business figures on write-offs to be deducted from tax returns.

Isn't that sad? 1 Cotton Fanners Can't Understand Staple Price Drop BY OVID A. MABTIN WASHINGTON, Aug. One of the farmer's big complaints that prices usually drop at harvest time and go up after he has sold his crops. It is difficult for him to understand why prices should vary thus. All this is the crux of camplalnts coming out of the south over a rather sharp break In cotton prices.

'Speculators" are being blamed for the price fluctuations. The government also Is coming In for crltlclspi because It doesn't do something. 1950 Crop Small. Last year's cotton crop was small. But for a reserve of about 7,000,000 rales from previous crops, the na- would have faced rationing of cotton products.

The government had to limit exports to gave enbugh for this country's needs. Prices quickly climbed from.about 30 cents a pound to 45 cents. The government slapped on ceilings but most of the advance came after the crop had' been sold. This year farmers are producing about 60 per cent more cotton. Even so, the total supply available until the 1952 crops Is harvested no larger than it was last year.

The demand is just aa great. It appears that reserves a year 'rom now will be dangerously low. Yet prices are a fourth lower than they were in the midst of the 1980- crop marketing season. A Demand Still Stated differently, a supply and demand situation which pushed trices up to 46 cents durlne the 1950 crop-marketing season sqB ex- sts. So, growers ask, why shouldn't the price bo around 45 cents Instead of the 34 cents actually being offered in today'p markets? Prices are governed by day-today and week-to-week demand and supply conditions rather than conditions.

If all not just DO grown and harvested the year around, there would be less fluctuation in prices. Crops not needed today but which will be needed months from now must be carried by someone. That someone often Is a spccula- He assumes a risk In buying and holding products for a later market and naturally buys as cheap and sells as dear as he can. If there were no possibility for a speculator to make money on such holding operations, the farmer would be able to market only a part of his crop at any one if at all. Farmers Speculators.

The government price support loan programs are supported to enable the farmer to asume the role of hold his crops for a higher price. The farm can put a crop under government loan until prices go up then pay off his loan and sell the crop. But, unlike the market speculator, he takes no risk of a price decline. If prices fall below the loan rate he can forfeit the crop The government takes the loss. The distance that radio waves travel under water depends upon their frequency.
