STAR 0UTFIElDER OF TANKS, TOMMY
 HEINRICH, INJURED
By JOE REICHLER AP Sports Writer

The New York Yankees won a
 doubleheader yesterday and picked up game and half on the Bos- ton Red Sox, but faced the future today with nothing but gloom. Unless a miracle happens, the American League leaders will be
 forced to play the next three weeks
 without the services of Tommy Heinrich, their star outfielder. He
 may do no more playing this year.
 old Reliable as Tommy is
 known, injured his cack severely
 in the first game while attempting to catch a line drive off the bat of Chicago's Charlie Kress. x-rays taken at Mercy Hospital revealed fractures of the second and third ribs in the lower part of the back. A six-run ninth inning rally gave the Yankees the first game over the White Sox, 8-7. The Tanks also won the nightcap, 7-5. with dark
 ness halting proceedings after eight innings. The double triumph en-
 al:led the Yankees to increase their first place margin to three games over the Red Sox who dropped an Thinning game to the Indians in Cleveland, 2-l. The second game ot that scheduled doubleheader was called off in the fourth because of
 darkness. The Indians were in front, 2-1.
 NATIONAL LEAGUE In the National, the front-run- ming st. Louis Cardinals increased their lead over Brooklyn to two and
 half games by sweeping double
 header from the Boston Braves, 9-7
 and 7-l. The Dodgers trounced Pittsburgh, go, but lost half a length.
 Detroit solidified it's fourth place
 position in the American, humping
 the Philadelphia Athletics, 6-4.
 Washington and St. Louis divided
 twin bill in their private battle
 for seventh place. The Senators
 walked off with an easy 13-2 vic-
 tory in the opener, but the Browns
 won the second game, 4-3.
 Philadelphia and Chicago split,
 the Phils coming back to win the
 second game, 8-2, after the Cubs
 had won the opener. "A. The
 Giants also escaped with a split,
 defeating Cincinnati, Az, after los ing the first game, l0-3.

Ives Hits Thomas Bill
To Kill Taft-Hart|eyA Act
For First Wagner Law
BY the Associated Press

A prompt clashing of views
today greeted a bill by Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Utah to
repeal the Taft-Hartley labor
law and restore the original
Wagner Act.
Senator Ives, Republican, of New
York criticized the bill. He said in
an interview that, if it reaches the
Senate floor, many Taft-Hartley
features will be added in the form of
amendments.
Senator Ives favors removing the
Taft-Hartley law in its present
form, but also favors the simultane-
GUS passage of a new law keeping
some Taft-Hartley provisions. Some
Democratic leaders in Congress
agree with this approach.
On the other hand. Arthur Gold
berg, general counsel of the CLIO,
told reporter:
I'VE feel confident the Thomas
bill will pass. Our survey of Con-
gress shows it can be enacted speed
lily. 1t is practical approach. 1t is
what the people voted for
Other Bills Pending.
Several other bills to repeal the
Taft Hartley Act have been intro
duced this week. but Senator Thorn
as was the most important because
he is chairman of the Senate Labor
Committee.
Senator Thomas acknowledged in
a Senate speech yesterday that fur
ther labor legislation is called for"
beyond the mere restoration of
the Wagner Act But he didn't can
for 1t in the bill he introduced. =
Re chose rather to follow an inn
mediate course which is in line with
labor union demands. The unions
want to get rid of Taft Hartley and
go back to the Wagner Act first of
all. Then they-and their congress
sional friends-Would be in a better
bargaining position to resist the re-
enactment of those parts of the
Taft-Hartley law they call objec-
tionable.
The Wagner Act of 1895, often
called 'labors magma carta," guar
anteed the rights of workers to or
gantze and bargain collectively
through unions of their own choos-
ing 1t also created the National
Labor Relations Board to enforce
these rights.
Act Rewritten Last Year.
In 1947, Congress rewrote the
Wagner Act in order to curb some
union practices and improve the po-
sition of employers. Congress also
passed new provisions relating to
national emergencies, an independ-
ent mediation service, and other
things.
All those things-the new YER
sion Of the Wagner Act and the
added provisions-Were put into one
big bill. This was the Hart
ley Act.
Under Senator Thomas proposal
only one Taft-Hartley feature
would remain: The LABOR Board
would continue with its present five
members, instead of going back to
three members as in the old Wag-
ner Act.

Gen. Hull Is Named
To Direct EvaIuation
OF War Weapons
BY the Associated Press

The Defense Establishment to-
day chose the Army general who
commanded the EniWetok atomic
bomb tests to direct it's program
for deciding what weapons and
systems of weapons would win
a future war.
The appointment of 1t. Gen. John
E. Hull, present commander of Army
forces in the Pacific, to be director
OF the Weapons Systems Evaluation
Group was announced by Defense
Secretary Forrestal.
Later. Mr. Forrestal said, a civilian
research director will be named to
b. D.. chief scientific officer of the
=. rs made up of both military
and CIVILIAN experts.
The group. intended to synchron-
ize the thinking of military strate-
giSts with that of the scientists who
create the weapons, will be respon-
sible for the careful evaluation of
all present or projected systems of
attack and defense" Secretary For
reStal said.
Example of Functions.
This obviously involves such mat
tiers as determining whether, under
given situation in a war, an at
tack on an enemy target could be
conducted better by the Air Forces
strategic bombing fleet. planes
launched from carriers or a COM
bination of the two
In light of this, it was significant
that Mr.. Forrestal turned to ''neu-
trail agency, the Army, for direc-
tor of the group. Designation of
either an Air or Navy officer would
have aggravated the argument be-
tween those two services.
Creation of weapons system eval-
uation unit was urged in the report
of a Hoover Government Reorgani-
zation Commission group which sur
veyed the national security organiza-
ton: The report said that no close
relationship existed between the
joint chiefs of staff (the command
ers OF the Army, Navy and Air
Force and the Research and De-
velopment board of the National
Military Establishment.
Mr.. Forrestail announced, before
appearance of the Hoover commit
tee report, his intention to form the
weapons evaluation group.
Study Made BY Group.
His statement today disclosed his
decision was taken after a study by
an advisory group which he had
named.
That Advisory Committee told
him that while each of the three
services had its own weapons as
sessment group there was need for
top-level organization. The COM
mittee took cognizance of inter-
service feeling by saying:
although present evaluation
groups within the National Military
Establishment may be impartial as
far as questions within their services
are concerned, they must inevitably,
because of their organizational posi-
ton, become protagonists in ques-
lions involving inter-service mat
terS.'

In Hawaiian legend, voluptuous
and tempestuous woman known as
Pele, goddess of the volcano, lives
in Kilauea crater at the foot OF
Mauna Loa. Hawaiians say she
walks among her people as a warn
ing before each disaster. Stories
Of these appearances, sometimes as
a beautiful maiden and again as an
old woman, persist even today.
According to ancient chants, her
brothers expelled Pele from Kahiki
possibly Samoa because of insub-
ordination and disrespect to their
mother Honua- Mea, the sacred land
Pele voyaged to Hawaii in a canoe
and tried volcanoes on other islands
before she settled in Kilauea, the
navel of the earth"
Fiery Pele fell in love with Prince
Lohiau of Kauai Island and per.
suaded her youngest sister, Hiiaka
to go there and escort the prince
to Kileuea.
Hiiaka found Lohiau in a sepul-
chre-dead. She carried the corpse
in her arms up a rainbow ano

But Hiiaka discovered that Pele
angered by her long absence, had
devastated Hiiaka's forest parks
with fire and killed her beloved
handmaiden, Hoppe.
In revenge, Hiiaka in Pele's
presence invited - and received -
Lohiau's kisses and love which
earlier she had repelled. Pele blew
her top, scared Lohiau to a crisp
and then turned his body into a
pillar of rock. Her anger convulsed
