NEW YORK, July 11.-Vic
Raschi, the big New York yankees
right-hander who has accumulated
more victories than any other
major league pitcher, probably
will see action for the American
League tomorrow in the 18th
All-Star game, but the Mats who
beat him Saturday aren't con-
vinced he would be wise choice.
Raschi, who owns a 1873 record,
presumably will get call from

He pitched against us as if he
had a sore arm" said Joe Kuhel,

threw one ball hard on Saturday.

CattIeman Would PAY
S2,000,000 for Tribe;
Veeck Is Skeptica|
By the Associated Press

GUNNISON. Colo. July ia
Colorado ranchey who's done all
right raising cattle would like to
put his brand on the Cleveland
Indians.
Despite a denial from Tribe
President Bill Veeck that any deal
is cooking, the rancher. Dan
Thornton, insisted today that he
wants to buy the Indians "if
they're for sale and the price is
right"
Thornton's idea of the right
price. he said, is about $2,000.000.
Veeck said in Chicago that he
has never heard of Thornton.
Il would say there is about as
much chance of my buying Thorn
tons cattle business as there is
of him buying the Indians-and
I am not interested in cattle" :"
Veeck said.
That statement didn't bother
Thornton. who sold all his pure
bred herefords for about $500,000
two years ago. He said the nego-
tiationS were just starting and that
he'd asked Del Webb. co-owney of
the New York Yankees and a long
time friend. to act as go-betWeen.
In Phoenix. Ariz., Webb said he
received this telegram from Thorn
ton:
Understand Browns for sale at
price of about $2,000,000. VIII you
contact Hank Greenberg or Bill
Veeck and arrange a meeting be-
tween uS?"
Webb said the word browns"
puzzled him. but since Thornton
mentioned Greenberg and Veeck,
he supposed he meant Indians, so
he telephoned Greenberg in New
York and suggested that he con-
tact Thornton.
Webb saidhe was asking Thorn
ton to keep him out of the deal
as I'm just interested in the
Yankees.
Thornton said that as he re-
called the telegram to Webb, he
used the word Indians" He
isn't interested in any club except
Cleveland, he said. and he has
some unidentified friends on the
West Coast who are ready to go in
with him, "if the clubs for sale
and the price is right"

By the Assecioted Press

BROOKLYN. July 1l.-Lefty
Mel Parnell of the Boston Red Sox
will start on the mound for the
American League in tomorrow's
All-5tar baseball game. with the
National League sending either
Warren SPAIN of the Boston
Braves or George Munger Of the
st. Louis Cardinals against him.

and lost five, was surprise choice
of American League Manager Lou
Boudrea. He had been expected
to lead with either Virgil Trucks
of Detroit or Bob Lemon from
his own Cleveland team.
SPAIN, a lefthander, has won
nine games and lost eight this
season. Munger. a righthander,
has a record of six victories and
four defeats.
The starting pitchers were
named today as the two leagues
announced the opening lineups for
the annual game beginning at
Ebbetts field at 1880 pm, EDIT,
tomorrow.
Aside from the pitchers, the
starters were dictated for the most
part by the ballots of more than
100000 fans.
A notable exception is Joe d.
Maggie, New York Yankee star,
who missed out in the voting be-
cause he was sidelined by an
ailing heel but was picked for the
squad by Boudreau.
With Tommy Heinrich of the
Yankees now shelved by injuries
Di Maggie was named to start in
center field and will bat in the
cleanup position for the American
League.

Canada
LiberoIs vs.. ConserYotives


Canada's 100000 voters will go to
the polls Monday in a national Par
liamentary election. They will vote
for 262 members of the House of
Commons, representing districts from
the Arctic to the new province of
Newfoundland. The results will not be
announced until July 2.
The election is on the British pat
tern, quite different from the Ameri-
can. The leader of the party winning
the most seats will form the new
government.
The party leader automatically be-
comes prime minister. He and his
cabinet hold Office as long as they
have the support of Parliament but
not for more than five years without
a new election.
The Liberals have controlled the
government since 1885 The present
prime minister is Louis St. Laurent,
who took over last November when
William l.. Mackenzie King retired
because of i'll health.
st. Laurent's chief opponent is
George Drew, leader of the Progress
sive Conservative Party. Other can
didates are M. J. Coldwell, leader of
the Socialist c. c. F. Party, and
Solon Low, head of the Social Credit
Party.
No comparisons are possible with
out qualification, but many Canadians
consider the Liberal Party to be Can
ada's nearest equivalent to the Demo
cratic Party of the United States, and
the Progressive Conservatives to be
nearest the Republicans.

Americans drank less in 1948 for
the first time in a decade.
The Commerce Department esti-
mates $8,800,OO0,OO0 was spent on
alcoholic drinks last year, a decrease
of 81 per cent from 1947. Not since
1888 have people spent less on alco-
hol one year than in the preceding
year.
The 1948 total is an average of $50
for each man, woman and child in
the country, or $93 for those over 81.
Whisky sales totaled $4,000, 100000
in 1948 compared with $4,560, ,000,00O

as the poor mans champagne" to-
tailed sales of $4,445, 100000 last year,
compared with $4,555, 100000 in 1947.
Department statisticians said the
lower totals were partly due to some
decline in price but named the chief
factor as weakening of demand for
luxury items.

PARIS: The Cold War Didn't Get Hotter

nEAN ACHESON is back from
h his first meeting as Secretary
of State with the Big Four foreign
ministers. Like former Secretaries
James F. Byrnes and George c.
Marshall, he learned what it is to
negotiate at first hand with the Rus
SLAMS.
Byrnes resigned after concluding
peace treaties for Italy and the Ger
man satellites. He predicted the Ger
man negotiations would drag on for
years and said health did not permit
his embarking on such herculean
task.
Marshall's first session was the his
toric London parley which resulted
in the Big Four deadlock and out of
which grew what is now known as
the cold war. Marshall came back
from London saying: "The Russians,
alone, would not agree"
Stronger Position
AT Paris, Acheson did not face
quite the same ordeal as his prede-
cessors. He had far stronger bar
gaining position.
The west had won great diplo-
matte victory in the lifting of the
Berlin blockade which paved the
way for the conference. The three
western zones had been merged eco
nomically and a separate west Ger
man government had been created
under the Bonn constitution.
The chief bulwarks in the strong
western position were, of course, the
Marshall plan (now in its second
year,, the proposed North Atlantic
Pact and its corollary arms aid pro-
gram.
Acheson did not hesitate to call a
bluff. At one point after listening to
a harangue by Andrei Vishinsky, the
Soviet foreign minister, he called the
Russian proposal "as full of propa-
ganda as dog is of fleas." "In fact,
Acheson said, II think it is all fieas
and no dog"

Governors
&c Policy

COV. DEWEY of New York and
NJ Gov. Warren of California,
last years Republican nominees
for President and Vice President,
met at Colorado Springs last
week for the first time since their
defeat last fall. The occasion was the
4lst annual Governors Conference
where each headed round table dis
cussions on governmental policy.
Dewey and Warren differed sharp
ly on health insurance. Dewey said
his, recent visit to England and studies
in New York convinced him that uni
versal health insurance won't work
at either the national or state levels.
Would Impair Standards
Such a program" Dewey said,
would destroy the medical stand
ards and the health of the people of
the United States"
Gov. Warren, on the other hand,
favors state health insurance pro-
grams. If the states can't or won't do
this, Warren said he thought a ma
tional medical program was the only
answer.
The New York governor also sup
ported the foreign arms proposal
which has the backing of Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg (R-Mich) but is opposed
by Sen. Robert A. Taft, the Senate's
COP policy chief. Dewey declared:
''You don't keep peace by being
weak. You keep. it by being strong.
Three-Point Program
Another speaker at the conference
was 1t Gen. Walter Bedell Smith
former ambassador to Russia. Speak
ing. as the personal representative OF
President Truman, Smith urged &
three-point program to make Europe
bulwark of peace. 1t comprises cor.

ing Executive branch. 1t empowers
the President to streamline and over
haul government agencies in a ntln-
ner unprecedented since the founding /.
of the republic 16O years ago.
In addition to his Welfare Depart
ment proposal, Mr.. Truman sent to
Congress six other plans for reVamp-
ing h'-~eau setups. The new Welfare
Department would take over most of
the duties of the Federal Security
Administration, headed by Oscar
Ewing. These would include admins
tration of social security, federal aid
to education, and policing of the Pure
Food and Drug Act.
Under the new law, the llans auto
matically go into effect by August 10
unless rejected by either house of
Congress.
Senate in Labor
Meanwhile, the Senate was em-
broiled in its third week of debate
on labor legislation. In the Senate, as
in the House, opponents of the Taft
Hartley Law disagreed among them
selves.
Many TIL opponents patiently
wanted to compromise and write the
best composite new bill they could
get, even though it might retain a
Hartley flavor. But hard core
steadfastly opposed all attempts at
compromise.
Some lawmakers repeatedly felt
that since outright repeal was impos-
Sible at this session, it would be
wiser to keep the Taft-Hartley Law
on the books in order to have a fight
ing issue in the 1850 Congressional
elections.
Compromise SquabbIe
Most AFL and CIO union leaders
would have accepted compromise,
provided concessions didn't ga too
far. John L. Lewis, UNIV boss, and
A. F. Whitney, president Of the Rail-
road Trainmen, were against any
compromise.
This split among TIL opponents
may result in passage through both
houses of Congress of bill retaining
most features of the present law. II
that should happen, labor leaders of
all complexion probably would ask
President Truman to veto it.
If Mr.. Truman should, and Con-
gress fails to override the veto, the
Taft-Hartley Act would stay on the
books.
