WASHINGTON Scene
By George Dixon

I SEE where Mr.. Larry Mac
Il Phail, the kindly and imper-
turbable president of the New
York Yankees baseball club, be-
came so irked over his inability
10 put through a telephone call
that he resorted 10 drastic ac-
ton.
II appears Mr.. MacPhail was
sojourning at his Maryland
farm, probably grooming his
black Anguses and a couple of
righthanded outfielders, when
h edecided TO make a call 10
New York. Apparently he was
unaware a telephone strike was
in progress because he became
wroth after an hour or so Of
banging away at an unrespon-
sive telephone
SO, being essentially a man
Of action. he stormed into the
telephone exchange in nearby
Bel Air and proceeded to bawl
out the only two parties he
could find on the premises,
Thomas Dwyer. the manager,
and Mrs Anna Towner, the
chief operator.
The upShot was that Mr.. Nc
Phail got charged with assault
and battery Manager Dwyer
said the baseball mogul punched
him IN the kiSSer-using the un-
derarm swing. let us hope-and
spoke disrespectfully TO Mrs.
Towner His exact words 10 the
lady we're not given; but Mr..
MacPhail is generally conceded
to he very hot stuff when he is
speaking disrespectfully, which
is most Of the time.
My feeling in he matter is
that Mr. McPhail had the right
idea put picked out the wrong
targets. The chances are that
the manager and chief operator
were doing their best but that
the strike had gummed things
up beyond their ability to cope.
