record Of the immortal "Babe"

Important is the issue of how
many world series games did he
participate in and how many
games did he appear against the
st. Louis Cardinals, in series con-
tests. To begin with the last time
the New York Yankees met the
Cards in a world series game was
in 1912 when the Cards defeated
the Yanks four games to one and
the great "Babe" had ended his
career as a player. Playingin the
out field for the Yanks were
Charlie "KingKong" Keller in left
field and Roy Cullenbine in the
right field garden.
Ruth's recorded many life time
records during his playing days
among them were his record for
the longest hits in any one sea-
son, 119 in 1921; scored a total
of lit runs in the same season +;
made 1920 extra bases on long
hits for a lifetime record in 1921;

Stassen Wants Truman
To Say He Now Accepts
.MacArfhur's Views
BY The Associated Press

Harold E. Stassen wants Presi-
dent Truman to say tonight
whether he has decided to accept
Gen. Macarthur views on Pacific
problems.
If he has not, the Republican
president of the University of
Pennsylvania declared last night,
the people are justified in re-
garding Mr.. Truman's dramatic
flight to Wake Island to confer
with Gen. Macarthur as "a sinful
political escapade."
Mr.. Stassen, who unsuccessfully
sought the Republican presidential
nomination in 1948, was chosen
by the Republican National Com
mittee to make an advance reply
to the Presidents speech from
San Francisco tonight. It was
broadcast free of charge by NBC.
Mr.. Stassen declared that since
the end of World War II Mr.. Tru-
mans administration and the
State Department "have en-
deavored to undermine and weak

Wants Commitment.
He called on the President to
name Gen. Macarthur as supreme
commander of United States
forces in the Asiatic-Pacific area
and said such action would result
in a plan for Asia which would
do for that area what the Mar
shall Plan has done for Europe.
Citing the Red conquest of
China and events in Indo- China,
Burma, Korea and Formosa, Mr..
Stassen said none of these would
have happened IF President Tru-
man had asked and accepted Gen.
MacArthur's advice" over the last
five years.
and in view of the fact that
Gen. Macarthur has been right
through these years, and the
President and the State Depart
ment nave been wrong, believe
the people of America are entitled
to say to the President that if he
is not willing to commit himself
at this late date to follow Gen.
MacArthur's advice, then he
should explain in detail to the
people why not" Mr.. Stassen said.
"Disquieting Report"
Mr.. Stassen asserted that "a
very disquieting report" current
in Washington is that the Presi-
dent did not plan the flight to
Wake Island to meet Gen. Mac
Arthur as result of advice from
his diplomatic or defense officials
but rather his political associates.
Deploring what he called "the
circus celebration atmosphere
of this multi-camera escorted
journey of the President" Stassen
said the rumor in Washington was

people were giving all the credit
for Korean victories to Gen
Macarthur and the armed forces
This adviser said, according to
the report, that the President had
to share the headlines with Gen.
Macarthur, and that the way to
do this was to fly out to see the
General and then to translate that
into political assistance for the
embattled Democratic) candi-
dates before the November
election" Mr.. Stassen continued.
He said a young veteran had
told him that "Mr. Truman was
riding his airplane all the way to
Wake Island in order that he can
ride Gen. Macarthur coat tail
all the way to November 7th."
Brewster Sees Politics.
If the President tonight "glosses
over or evades" the questions
asked, Mr.. Stassen said, then "the
American people will conclude
that the flight to the Pacific has
not been a sincere statesmanlike
journey, but rather a sinful politi-
cal escapade."
Senator Brewster, Republican,
OF Maine, chairman of the Repub-
lican Senator Campaign Commit
tee, told newsmen that Mr.. Stas-
sen was chosen, by the national
committee to make the speech for
the purpose Of raising questions
about problems the Republicans
don't want Mr.. Truman to over
look.
For himself, Senator Brewster
said he was shocked" by the
brevity of the Wake Island con-
ference, which kept the principals
closeted privately for about one
hour and in session with their
advisers for about as long.
1T seems there could not have
been any very mature considera-
tion of Far Eastern problems" he
said, and quipped:
why begun if so soon done?"
The Senator expressed belief
that the public had much the
same reaction and commented
that if the Democrats "had con-
templated any political advantage
from the meeting, they must have
been rather disappointed"

4 Points to Be Stressed.
These points are expected to be
emphasized:
l. The United States is primarily
interested in bringing to the Ko-
rean people something of the liv-
ing standards of the American
people--by reconstruction and re-
habilitation;
2. improvements advocated for
Korea will serve as pattern for
what the United States would
like to do for other countries in
need of American aid;
8. The United States wants
neither special consideration for
military installations in Korea and
would like to get its troops out as
soon as 1t is safe to do SO; and
4. There must be no letdoWn in
congressional support of heavy
spending for defense at home and
for Allied nations abroad so long
as the threat of communism i'm
perils any spot in the world where
an invasion could explode into
another World War.
Mr.. Truman showed unusual
care in the preparation of to-
nights speech-expected to be the
opening of an intensive drive to
counter Russian propaganda
which tries to picture the United
States as an "aggressor" nation.
Campaign of Truth"
The President calls it a great
campaign Of truth" aimed at
dramatizing this country's peace
full intentions throughout the
world. State Department officials
are working overnight on means
Of breaking through jamming
techniques-by which the Soviets
hope to prevent American ideals
from reaching Russia and satellite
countries.

States Circuit Court of Appeals
and former Senator from Wash

u. 5. Far East Strength
To Be Increased as
Result Of Wake Talks
By Russell Brines

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
TOKYO, Oct. II. - American
forces in the Far East will be
strengthened considerably as a re-
suit of agreement between Presi-
dent Truman and Gen. Mac
Arthur at Wake Island, informed
sources reported today.
They said Mr.. Truman expressed
agreement with Gen. Macarthur S
outline of the Asiatic situation and
his insistence that any further
Communist thrusts must be
blocked with military power.
The United States 9th Army,
normally stationed in Japan, and
Far Eastern naval and air forces
will be maintained at much
greater strength than before the
Korean campaign, the sources said.
They reported the major en-
phaSis of the Wake conference was
on methods of building up Amer
lean strength in Asia.
The informants indicated that
some of the three American divi-
sions sent to the Korean cam
paign from the United States
might be retained in the Orient.
But they did not disclose plans
for their deployment.
Other Danger Spots Discussed.
The conferees agreed to remove
American troops from Korea as
quickly as possible, entrusting Sc
curity problems to the South Ko-
rean army. The reason is to avoid
irritating the sensitive Koreans
and not necessarily to reduce
available forces in Asia.
They added there was no dis
cussion of cutting down Far
Eastern forces in order to build, up
American strength in Europe.
Gen. Macarthur told the Presi-
dent that, having won the Korean
battle, the United States could not
afford to allow the Communists to
conquer other and richer areas
such as Indo-China. The sources
said Mr.. Truman agreed.
The general discussed both
1ndo-China and Formosa in gen.
eral terms during his outline of
the Asiatic situation. He repeated
his previous contention that For
mosa in unfriendly hands would
seriously threaten the American
defense line in the Far East.
Truman Policy Outlined.
The sources said Mr.. Truman
then outlined the administration
policy concerning Formosa and
the political complexities sur
rounding it. There was no voiced
disagreement over this debatable
island.
Gen. Macarthur predicted the
Communists would strike again at
any one of several worldwide trou-
BILE spots, including Indo-China
where some observers believe they
may already have started their
new campaign. He has said con-
slstently that defeat in Korea
would not alter what he has de-
scribed as Kremlin plans for world
conquest.
The United Nations fight in Ko-
rea was regarded here as the final
development in a long process of
drawing a line in Asia beyond
which a Communist advance
would not be permitted. ea

Court. The FEC maintains a
New York Office.
The magazine declared there
are "rumblings" of a Congress
sional investigation of FEC over
the color television decision.
The publication also foresees
the possibility of the FEC requir-
ing consideration of color broad
casting by a teleVision station for
renewal of it's license or for origi-
nal grants of authority to broad
cast.
Meanwhile, the big Philco Corp.
of Philadelphia joined other major
manufacturers in criticism of CHS
color, and William Balderston,
president, said:
Color televiSion with bigger pic
lures than CBS' 1912 Inch screen
model, finer quality and perform
ance, is being perfected in the
laboratories of the industry today.
1T is our firm conviction that
this is what will eventually reach
the market and we believe further
that such a color system is at
least two years away"
CHS Reports Good Response.
CHS reported it had received a
terrific response" to the broad
cast Snday night by Mr.. Stanton,
to set owners and prospective set
buyers. Telephone callers, said a
spokesman, expressed keen inter-
est in how soon color telecasts
would be available, as we'll as
equipment to convert present sets
to color.
Mr.. Stanton reassured set own
ers that their present sets would
continue to give all the service
they are now giving, as black and
white telecaSting would continue
for years to come and color would
be supplementary service to be-
gin with.
Philco'S statement rounded out
response from the Big Three.
-
RCA and Admiral Corp. previously
had voiced strong criticism of the
CHS system. I
In a new statement, contained
in letters to its distributors, RCA
said yesterday the CHS color sys-
tenn lis scientifically unsound and
against the public interest"
Walter A. Buck, RCA vice presi-
dent and general manager of it's
division, said, as did
Mr.. Balderston. that the public
should have no fear in buying
present type sets.
