IT SAYS HERE i by Bob Hop Pittstaurch We landed in Pittsburgh in the afternoon and for three hours I kept complain' in about the smoke and soot. Then someone suggested I take off my dark glasses. There really isn't much smoke in Pittsburgh anymore. A big syndicate is buy ing up all the smoke, cehydrat ine it and selling it for pepper. Our Pittsburgh show was handled by the big variety club man, Johnny Harris, one of the really ereat men in American snow business.

We went on in the a spot that usually is frozen oyer for ice shows. Working in a rime was wonderful. As soon as started telling jokes I had them freeze the place over and in five minutes the floor was too siip nerv for the audience to walk out While here in Pittsburgh snent a courie of hours with very dissapointed boy, Billy Conn, trying to get some of my monev back. (I bet on Even if Billy's strategy didn't work out and he ran into that piledriver I still think his first battle with Joe Louis was one of the most exciting in ring history. Billy says he'll fight Joe again only on one condition if they let him bring his father in law into the ring to help.

But there's only one guy left for Joe Louis to fight now. They're going to match him with MandraKe. Mike Jacobs is going to charge $1000 a ticket and the third man in the ring will be a collector from the Internal Revenue Bureau. Court Recess Delays Toll Bridge Action The Commonwealth will have to wait until next fall to file an ap peal with the State Supreme Court from a Dauphin county court decision holding the 1945 toll bridge laws unconstitutional. Attorney General James H.

Duff said yesterday the high tribunal is now in recess and will not resume sessions until September. "The appeal will be made in due course, but there is nothing the State can do to speed it up," said Duff. The Dauphin County Court held unconstitutional a bill enacted by the 1945 Legislature that would have permitted the State to spend $7,000,000 in freeing ten privately owned toll bridges in the State. The court also ruled that the State must determine if $7,000,000 is sufficient to buy all the bridges before it can purchase one of the structures.

PAGE 13 Martin Praised For Pushing Fight To FrceBridges Governor Edward Martin was commended in a resolution forwarded to him today by R. H. Lyons, president of the Motor Club of Harrisburg, on the Governor's decision to appeal the Dauphin County Court decision holding un consitutional 1945 legislation au thorizing the State to acquire and free ten toll bridges in Pennsyl vania. Governor Martin, last week an nounced that the State Adminis tration would "prosecute with dili gence" an appeal to the case enjoining the Secretary of Highways irom using any of the $7,000,000 set up by the Legislature from the Motor License Fund for the pur chase of the State's toll bridges. uaupmn county Court, in a case instituted by the PeoDles Bridee company, oi Harrisburg, operators of the Walnut street bridge here, objecting to the proposed purchase of the bridge for $650,000, ruled in iavor of tne bridge owners and ruled further that it must be de termined if all of the bridges could be purchased for the amount ap propriated.

An expression of "unqualified approval" of the Governor's action is voiced in the resolution. Mr. Lyon, who reported that the Motor Club of Harrisburz has taken an active part in attempting! to iree ton bridges in the State, pledged tne continued support of nis organization in the Common wealth's attempt to free toll bridges. The resolution reads: "Whereas, the Motor Club. of TT 1 narnsourg, ior more tnan fitteen years, has zealously sought to free the bridges spanning the Susquehanna river at Harrisburg so that the motoring public may utilize these segments of our highway system without the imposition of a special charge; "Whereas, the Motor Club of Harrisburg, sought for the adop tion of the Good Roads Amend ment, intending thereby to pre vent the diversion of highway iunds for non highway purposes: "Whereas, the 8000 members of the Motor Club of Harrisburg, in support or said Uoo Roads Amendment, intended thereby to provide that highway funds should be user to provide a proper high.

way system within tl Common wealth of Pennsylvania. "And whereas, it is absolutely necessary that the toll bridges at Harrisburg and elsewhere within the Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia, forming, as they do. an in; tegral and indispensable part of the highway system of this Com; monwealth, and should, be used by the motorist an the same basis as the rest of the Highway sys tern of the Commonwealth: "Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Motor Club of Harrisburg that it express to Edward Martin. Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, unqualified ap proval of his direction to the At torney General of Pennsylvania to take an appeal from the deci sion of the Dauphin County Court declaring unconstitutional the act of 1945 providing for the acquis! tion of toll bridges in Pennsyl vania; and be it further resolved, that the Motor Club of Harris burg does hereby express to the said Edward Martin, Governor of Pennsylvania, its approval of the Commonwealth's contention that, when the 8000 members of the Motor Club of Harrisburg, voted in favor of the Good Roads Amendment they intended that highway funds be expended to provide them with a proper and modern highway system in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which would include bridges."

Billsburg Farmer i 'I Develops Variety Of Early Peaches Lloyd J. Sowers, a former railroad worker, has de veloped a variety of early peach on his farm near Dills burg, that is now ready for market, nearly a month ahead of the regular Pennsylvania peach crop. Mr. Sowers discovered the new variety ten years ago when he no ticed that one limb on an ordinary peach tree contained the early ripening fruit. He rebudded from that limb until he developed the present variety.

This years crop has been esti mated at about 20 bushels, and Mr. Sowers believes that next year, provided there are conditions favorable to peach growing, he should have 300 bushels. He is prepared to grow as many bushels of the new variety as he can sell, and has the space on his 270 acre farm to plant 50 acres in the new peach if necessary. The development of the strain has reached a point where he can plant as many of the new trees as he wishes and they will reach maturity as rapidly as other species. The new peach ranges in size from two to two and three quarter inches, a bit larger than the average among shipped peaches.

The flavor, Mr. Sowers, declares, is like that of other homegrown varieties. Mr. Sowers said he does not plan to keep his development, with which he gets a one month ad vantage on the market above other area growers, from those who desire to grow the new variety. A spokesman for the State De partment of Agriculture said "here is one farmer who is looking ahead ot further expansion of Pennsylvania agriculture and better service for our increasingly great market demands." Peach crop prospects in general throughout Pennsylvania are brighter this year than last, the department reported, and the fruit is expected to be plentiful on local markets beginning next month.

Corn on the cob will arrive in market later this year because ot the delays in spring planting, the department said. Tomato plantings were also late and the crop was reported marking only fair progress in all areas.
