Indians Pennant Bid
Renewed by Double
.K0 Of Red Sox

BY the Associated Press

Bob Feller's comeback" and
Cleveland's extra inning magic are
keeping the Indians in the Amer
lean League race.
Just when New York and Bos-
ton seemed set for private stretch
drive, the Indians elbowed in by
snatching three straight from the
Red Sox.
The Tribes success in thump-
ing Boston in 13 of l9 starts could
be the making of a second straight
pennant. However, 1t also could
pave the way to the flag for the
Yankees.
Casey Stengel's men, shaken by
the loss of Tommy Heinrich. took
new heart. in the double Boston
loss yesterday. The idle Yanks, in
Kansas City for an exhibition, saw
their lead mount to four full
games. Cleveland is 51a back. .
Feller, now winner of 13, engi-
neered the first Cleveland vic
tory, So. After the Indians
tagged Earl johnson for two runs
in the first inning, Feller drove
home a third in the second frame.
It was his fourth victory over> the
Red Sox, who have beaten HIM
only once.
Tribe Wins in 10th,
The Tribes amazing xtra-in-
ming skill enabled them to pull
the second out of the loss column.

ager Joe Mccarthy ordered Dob
son to pitch to fresh. The next
scheduled batter was AL Benton.
After fresh singled home the
winning run the Sox didn't have
much to say.
Only Williams talked, and he
mumbled, Sure glad to be leav-
ing this town."
It was Benton's win on relief,
the second important victory for
the Detroit discard in three days.
He stopped the Yankees Friday
night and helped himself to his
sixth triumph on one scoreless
inning.
Cardinals Lick Braves.
Those st. Louis Cardinals came
up with a big seven-run seventh
inning at Boston, trouncing the
Braves, 80, to protect their 21a-
game lead over Brooklyn in the
National League. The Birds have
whipped the Braves Is out OF 19
games this year.
Ron Northey dubbed a grand
slam homer off Bill Voiselle in the
big inning as AL Brazle posted his
14th victory, equaling his best pre-
vious big-league season.

,,aft Says He Supports
PACT But Opposes
Arming Of Europe
BY she Asseeiofed Press

Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio said yesterday he supports
the proposed North Atlantic pact
because he believes it will prevent
war with Russia but opposes arm
ing Western Europe because that
might invite Soviet aggression.
Sepator Taft, who heads the
Senate Republican Policy Com
mittee, told reporters he thinks
that if war comes the United
States will have to do most of the
fighting.
He argued that it thus would be
better to keep our arms at home.
But he viewed the proposed Sc
curity agreement with Canada,
Great Britain, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands and Luxembourg
as deterrent" to war.
The North Atlantic pact is de-
fensive." he said. 1t says to Rus
sia: If you do go to war, we'll be
In it,
But if we undertake to arm
Europe, don't we give cause to the
Russians to feel that they are
being ringed by military nations
contemplating attack? If that is
their feeling, aren't they more
likely to attack?
Sees Invitation to War.
And aren't We doing something
more likely to bring about war
than peace in the next three
years?"
If the Russians think a fight
is inevitable, they are likely to
say: Why not have it now?''
Senator Taft's views on the
proposed security pact were en-
couraging to State Department.
officials, since he often reflects the
position of other Republican Sena-
tors who do not subscribe whole
heartedly to the bipartisan foreign
policy but go along on issues they
feel are vital.
His opposition to helping rearm
Europe. however, seems likely to
give critics of this companion pro-
posal encouragement in the Sen
ate and House.
Senator Taft said he doesn't
think any case can be made for
furnishing arms to any of the Eu-
ropean nations, with the possible
exception of Great Britain.
England Best Equipped.
He said. however, that of all
the prospective pact signers. Eng
land is best equipped to turn out
her own arms.
He conceded, also. that if a
clash with Russia comes, Britain
can be counted on for her share
Of fighting.
He added that no one seriously
believes that the other European
nations could be rearmed with
American help in less than three
years. He said this would cost
much more than the suggested
l000.000.000 starting figure.
If war should develop, we'll
fight the WARMTH the possible

clared. 1T will be our armies and
