Chare IS Foe Yonks Won't Stand Po Buy Two Coast Stars
Overwhelming In Adding Strength for 1850 Pennont Chase
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 13-The New
York Yankees, announcing that
they won't stand pat" on their
present world championship team
for 1850. bought two of the
brightest stars in the Pacific Coast
League today.
Manager Casey Stengel an
nounced the purchase of Jackie
Jensen, outflelder who is former
California football star, and
Alfred Billy Martin, an inf1elder.
They were bought from the Oak
land club which Stengel managed
last year.
No price was divulged but it's
rumored the Yankees shelled out
in the neighborhood of 100000
and five players for the two ath-
letes who were widely sought after
by major league clubs. The five
players weren't named.
You never sit tight" Casey told
newsmen in the Yankees final
press conference of the season
yesterday. "You can't afford to
stand pat in this league. We're
going to try to strengthen our
pitching staff although it looked
pretty good in the last week. Sure,
we could use a couple of pitchers.
I'D like to improve my outfleld
a little, too. We're willing to
listen to anybody who has some
thing reasonable to offer"
Jensen, %, is a former football
star at the University Of Califor-

 This General Waitt did, using Hunts secretary The memorandum gave glowing description oi Waitt's virtues and achievements also exposing the faults and fail ings of other candidates to be chief of Chemical Warfare.
 One interesting point is that General Waitt sat on an Army's Evaluation Board to pass upon his brother officers and had previously given high recommendations to the very same officers whose qualified tions he deprecated in the mem- orandum which he dictated for lob byist Hunt.

The Washington MerrY-Go-Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Continued from Page D :

Last week the chairmanship ap- peared to be all set for Gabriel son. Since then, sudden and stiff opposition has developed. For one thing, it is strongly suspected that he is a Stassen man. Even more important, Republican, Congressmen from New Jersey are almost solidly opposed. En bloc they called on ex-Speaker Joe Martin, and regis tered their objection. Usually it's an honor to have National Chair man selected from your state, but in this case New Jersey Congress men wanted to forego the honor if Gabrielson was to be the man.
 Another strike against Gabriel son is the fact that he is from the east, and that Scott's resigna- tion was forced because mid westerner was needed at chairman. fGabrielson was horn in Sioux Rapids, Ia., but has lived in New Jersey for some time)

JOHN FOSTER DULLES
 NEW JOB

It may or may not have been significant, but John Foster Dulles, the famed new Senator from New York has been appointed to the Senate committee governing the District of Columbia. In vote- less Washington this means he will have great deal to say about governing Washington - including it's public utilities.
 Significantly, it happens that the Dulles law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, is attorney for the Washington Gas Light Company, also for the Potomac Electric Co.,, also for the Washington RR and Transit Co.,, which owns the Capi- tai Transit Go.
 At the time when Senator Dulles was appointed to the District of Columbia Committee. these utilities are asking for rate increases, while the Washington Railway and Elec- trlc Co. proposes the sale oI US A per cent interest in the Capital Transit Go. to outside interests.
 In fairness to Senator Dulles, it should be noted that he wanted ap- pointnient to the foreign relations committee. When no opening de- veloped, Senator Schoeppel of Kan sas was moved off the District of Columbia committee, and Dulles took his place. Senator Dulles re- marked, incidentally, that he knew nothing about D. c. problems with the exception of the bill to kill the capitals population of star. lings. Though he liked birds, he said he did not like starlings.

HOW A GENERAL WANTED
 PROMOTION

Here is one inside reason why Gen. Alden Waitt, chief of the Army's Chemical Warfare section, got suspended for dealing with lobbyist James V. Hunt, close friend of Gen. Harry Vaughan, White House military aide.
 General Waitt has been chief of the Chemical Warfare section for nearly tour years, and ordinarily chiefs of Army bureaus are not re- appointed They are transferred to the field. However, Waitt want ed to continue in his lush Wash ington office in which-after quite a howl-he had just installed a new tile bathroom, kitchenette, air cooling, etc.
 So General Waitt, appreciating lobbyist Hunts friendship with General Vaughan, and also appre- ciating General Vaughan's power
