 FOR GIANTS
National League Pennant Race Sill Practically
 Free for All
By JOE REICHLER

Associated Press Sports Writer
 It is still anybody's race in the National League and as long as big Johnny Mize keeps clouting thcse long ones, the homer hitting New York Giants are not to be sold short.
 Mize not only is keeping the Giants very much in the pennant light, but is seriously threatening what is probably the greatest bat ting feat in baseball Babe Ruth's record of 60 home runs in the 1927 season.
 The hard hitting first baseman walloped two into the Polo, Grounds stands last night to lead the Giants to 5-2 victory over the Philadel- phia Phillies The victory coupled with the Braves Az win over Brook lyn in Boston reduced the league leading Dodgers margin over the third place Giants to seven games.
 The runner-up St Louis Cards now trail the Dodgers by six games following their 3-2 triumph over the Cubs in a daylight game in Chi cago. The Braves, in fourth place, are 10 games off the pace.
 Mi2e's pair of round trippers, his 33rd and 34th of the season. came in the Giants e6th game and put him two games ahead of Ruth's rec ord setting pace.
 Dodgers Lose
 Johnny Sain pitched and batted the Braves to their victory over the Dodgers before 29, 1887 home night game fans. The big right -hander, who scattered nine hits for his 18th victory, rapped two hits, driving in the first Boston run and scoring the next one on Johnny Hops right field single Hank Camellis sixth inning double off losing pitcher Hal Gregg scored two runners and broke up 2-2 deadlock.
 Taking advantage of 10 bases on balls to add to their II hits off four Cincinnati hurlers, the Pittsburgh Pirates disposed of the Reds in Pittsburgh 12-4. Hank Greenberg drove in three runs to raise his seasons output to 63 for the Bucs this season.
 The Yankees stretched their Am erican League lead to IA games over the runner-up Boston Red SoX by defeating the Athletics in Philadel- phia 8-5 in night game while the Sox were lcsing 3-l decision to the Senators in Washington
 The Cleveland Indians downed the Tigers in a twilight game at De- troit. 8-4.
 Ed Lopat handcuffed the Browns in St. Louis with four hits in pitch ing the Chicago White Sox to 5-1 night game victory.

Situation In ": Greece Becoming "Very Serious
(By The Associated PresS)

A Greek cabinet minister an rounced today The situation has radically changed in favor of na- tional forces" in northwestern Greece, where the army was re- ported moving into battle positions against guerrillaS who the govern 'lent said invaded" Greek soil from Albania.
 In London, where the situation was described by British govern ment sources as a very serious turn of events" a foreign office spokesman said Britain was in vestigating Greek charges that an international brigade was invad- ing the strife-torn country. A gov ernment informant said if the charge was considered founded, joint British-American prot t may be lodged with the United Nations.
 The U. N. security council all ready was in extraordinary ses- sion on the Greek situation. The United States demanded at Lake Success that the council give top priority to the entire Balkan pro- gram in view of it's urgency"
 The council deferred a sched- uled discussion of a global police force when the Greek government pleaded that the Balkans debate be expedited.
 The appeal came in the form of an extraordinary Greek letter to the delegates from Greek ambas- sador Vassili Dendramis, who said he was acting upon urgent in structions from my government" ." He told the delegates that strong and well-armed hostile forces in vaded Greek territory from Al bania July 13."

 In Athens, sources close to the general staff reported the army was attempting to snap shut a pincers movement against strong guerrilla units driving south of Ioannina Janinal.

McNorney Foyors Letting
Jews Go to Palestine

FRANKFURT, Feb. Z, P.-Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney said yesterday
that 95 per cent of the displaced
Jews IN the American zone of Ger
many "are determined to resettle
in Palestine" and that the only
solution was to let them &C there.
The American commander in
Europe said he expressed this view
Wednesday in an interview with
former President Hoover, here on
a tour for President Truman to
study the problem of feeding Ger
many.
1.-THE only way we can settle the
Jewish problem, in view of the
Jews determination to make Pales-
tine their homeland, is to permit
resettlement," Gen. McNarney told
a news conference.
Gen. McNarney, who will leave his
post as theater commander March
Is, said he did not doubt that Zion
list organizations have taken steps
to indoctrinate individuals that
Palestine Is the place they want
to CO."
He added that the influx of Jews
fleeing Poland had dropped almost
to nothing.

the nations involved; that our own
domestic hearings have been under
way, and from the standpoint of
our own foreign relations 1t Is un-
desirable that these plans be aban-
doned or needlessly postponed"
In their statement, the Senators
recognized there is much sentiment
for procedural improvements lead
ing to more certain assurance that
American domestic economy will not
be imperiled by tariff reductions and
concessions.
They list q series of "fears" to
which, they said they themselves
were not committed. One of these
fears was that our tariffs may be
subordinated to extraneous and ov-
ervalued diplomatic objectives. An
other Is that American domestic
interests are not given proper hear
ings on proposed tariff cuts. A
third is that Americans do not get
sufficient return benefit from the
generali5ed benefits resulting to
other nations from the operation
of the unconditional most favored
nation clauses in our trade agree
ments.
Hope for Executive Order.
In their statement, Senators Van
denberg and Millikin said:
1--WE have discussed these matters

tary of State Acheson and Under

with their recommendations, then
they may ask the Republican con-
ference to approve.
If the Republican conference
backs them up and the House Re-
publican leadership persists in seek
ing legislation, an impasse may
arise. However, no legislation can
be enacted without Senate approval,
although tariff legislation originates
in the House.
The fifth recommendation, which
seeks to obtain for the United States
full benefits under trade agreements,
presumably is aimed at such ar
rangements as those with the Brit
ish Empire and its component parts.
The purpose is to tighten up in the
interest of more equal treatment for
this country.
The recommendations originated
with Senator Millikin and Senator
Vandenberg and not in the State
Department. Both, it was said, were
disturbed by the situation presented
by opposition from Republican
sources to the continuation of the
reciprocal trade agreement system
and the fact that the Government
already had made plans to enter
into 18 new agreements.

Taft and Senator Ball did not see
eye to eye on all phases of the pend

puted questions without any show

During the hearing Senator Jen-
ner, Republican, of Indiana asked
Mr.. Stassen If he would object to
applying the democratic process OF
q vote by all the workers in plant
to determine whether there should
be closed shop, as substitute for
outlawing it. The witness offered
no objection to that.
Before outlining his program for
industrial peace, Mr.. Stassen said
that clearly in recent years too
much power has been concentrated
in the leadership of our labor unions
and that power has been abused. :"
For this reason, he said, new legis-
lation was needed.
"But 1t also appears to me that
there is some danger of going too
