As Chandler Fines
Durocher and Fitz
BY The Associofed Press

CINCINNATI, Jan. 13.-1t cost
Leo Durocher. Freddie Pitzsimmons
and the New York Giants stiff fines
for negotiating a 1s4s contract while
the former Boston Braves coach still
was a member Of the Beantown
club.
Baseball Commissioner A. B.
Chandler yesterday fined the Giants
manager. Ftzsimmons and the Ma
tional League club for violating the
tampering rule. Chandler also
warned that more severe penalties
are in store for any one who does
1t again.
Durocher and Fitzsimmons we're
assessed $500 each and the Giants
$4,000. Chandler said:
Clubs and their personnel are
warned that future violations of
the tampering rule will be accom-
kpanied by more severe penalties
than those imposed in this instance.
Coach Fitzsimmons and Manager
Dtrocher both professed ignorance
of the tampering rule. Such ig-
norance is not excused now and
will not be in the future"
According to the rules, a player or
coach must have the written con-
sent of his club before he may ne
'gotiate with another outfit.

had "long and honorable service In
baseball" was he spared being
banned for the 1s4s season, Chand-
Ter said.
1t was the second time Chandler
has chastised the former Brooklyn
Dodgers manager. In 1947 Durocher
was suspended as pilot of the Flat
bush team.
Leo was set down then for making
statements and being involved in
incidents Chandler described as
detrimental to baseball"
In yesterdays action, Chandler
held that conversations between
F1tzsimmons and Durocher occurred
without the knowledge or consent OF
the Boston club and Fitzsimmons
was under acceptance terms by
verbal agreement with Durocher
before any official of the Boston
club knew negotiations were being
conducted"
The coach still was under contract
to Boston and remained so until
December 81, 1948, Chandler con-
tinued. He added that players and
coaches are under obligation to give
their loyal services solely to the club
with which they contract.
Fitzsimmons also was suspended
for the 30-day period from March !
to April 1. Chandler directed "he
will not report to the New York
clubs training camp until April 2
1949, and will not perform any serv-
ice for the club until that date"

after his mile run, Ross will run a

 One thing about Clean -ilp--nobody comes around asking for contribution to pay another guy to do job Amid the endless fund drives. this is welcome respite Here is campaign everyone can pitch into for himself It h challenge to every citizen to earn the satisfaction of making his own individual sur rollndings safer and better to look at And the sum total of success the generous satisfaction Of having helped make Juneau more beautiful and healthier city
 What do safety and health have to do With IL? Quite bit you stop to think of it. The effect o1 can of paint applied to fence to garage or house IS mere cosmetic and psychological than hygenic' per haps But even with paint the sanitary results are not ant to be overlooked And when it comes to ac- cuulations of dirt and trash the health consldera tions are paramount Such refuse makes ideal oreeo- ing ground for germs and for rm-carrying vermln and insects

 The process we hope to use, Stevenot said, "is the one being brought into production on an in- creasing scale at the Weyerhausel plant at Longview, Washington.

ELEVATOR PRIORITY

senator are priority passengers on Capitol Hill elevators. It is an unwrltten rule that Senators have the special privilege of buzzing three times. This is supposed to be summons to the elevator op- orator to halt in his tracks and scoot full-throttle to pick up the Senatorial caller. Otttimes a com- mon citizen gets stuck in an ele- vator shutting Senators, and does not reach his floor for five min utes.
 Only one Senator scorns this special privilege and buzzes once. He is Kentucky's homespun Senator Garrett Withers, who figures he IS no better than anyone else. Tn fact he scolds elevator boys who try to take him to his destination ahead of his turn.

TROOPS OUT OF GERMANY

This brings Acheson's instructions down to the most important ques- ton of all-whether Allied troops are to be withdrawn from the country which, in twenty nrief years. fomented two terrible wars, The answer to this is not so easy.
 Nevertheless it is certain that Foreign Minister Vishinsky will pro- pose that the troops ot all coun- tries be withdrawn from Germany and go home altogether. This would mean that Russian troops could withdraw within the Polish border-then march back into Ger many with no trouble whenever they wanted to. It would also mean that American troops would pull back across the Atlantic and could not return to Germany within weeks, probably months-all de- pending on Congressional debate.
 To answer this question the State Department sent to Germany George Kennan, head of it's strat- egy board.
 Kennan came back with the counter proposal that U. $. and British troops return to the two embarkation cities of Hamburg and Bremen, with French troops re- turning to the French border.
 The Kennan plan was then re- viewed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who frowned on any evacuation to Hamburg and Bremen. There was room in these two cities, they said, for approximately 100000 U. s. and British troops. Instead, they pro- posed:
 4. That all Allied troops be withdrawn from the main German centers
 B. That Allied troops then be stationed on both banks of the Rhine, some in German territory some in French.
 c. That German constablilary force be carefully trained by Allied instructors to maintain order in the evacuated parts of Germany
 The above Joint Chiefs of Staff program has now been adopted as official U. s. policy, and is what Secretary Acheson will propose at Paris-il the Russians demand the complete evacuation of Germany.

FRANCE OBJECTS

Next problem Acheson Faces is the position of cur French and British allies. The latter are wlll- ing to accept the above Chiefs of Staff program, but the French are not. French Ambassador Bonnet has made this repeatedly clear to the State Department on in- structions from his Government.
 France, he said, was determined to keep troops in Germany regard
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-05-23

less of what England and the United States might do and would not even accept the plan to with draw to German port cities.
 Acheson's assistant, Charles Chip" Bohlen, is now in Paris try ing to persuade Foreign Minister Schuman to reverse this stand. It is interesting to note that Bohlen a cousin of the famous German munitions makers, Krupp von Boh- len, does not favor keeping an Allied Control Council inside Ger many to inspect industrial plants. Other State Department officials do not agree with him.
 Those are some of the ALEC points of a conference which holds the peace of the world in its hand and can, if successful, set a new tide in the affairs of men.
