S22,5OO Salary He
Received at Detroit
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April 29.-Outfielder
Dick Wakefield today refused to
join the White Sox after the Cha
cago club. which got him in a
trade with the Yankees, rejected
his demand to make up a $500
Yankee pay cut.
), Long distance phone wires
buzzed this morning between
Wakefield in Washington and
Frank Lane, Sox general manager
The net result was that the Sox
called of, temporarily, yesterdays
deal with the Yanks for Wake
field in exchange for undisclosed
cash and Outf1elder John Ostrow-
ski.
Has Been League Enigma.
Wakefield wanted his present
Yankee salary of $1,000 raised
back to the S22,500 he got from
the Detroit Tigers before he was
swapped last winter for First
Baseman Dick Kryhoski.
| Wakefield, a 6-foot-4 enigma
for the past few seasons, said the
pay cut must be restored or the
Sox could do without him.
Lane retorted that the boost
was out and the SoX would do
without him. The Sox boss said
the club had negotiated for his
Yankee contract, as is, and not his
Detroit contract.
However, few people are betting
that Wakefield won't show up in
/. White Sox uniform in a day or
two. The Sox wanted Wakefield
especially for tomorrow's double
header here with Detroit to send
! the former Chicago high school
star against his old Tiger mates
as insurance for a good Sabbath

In New York. the Yankees front
Office offered Wakefield a plane
ticket to Chicago and urged him
to talk things over personally with
Lane.
Wakefield had appeared twice
as a pinch-hitter for the Yankees,
getting one hit. He is assured
regular berth, at least for awhile,
In a Sox outfeld which also would
include Gus Zernial and Dave
Philley.
The 28-year-old Wakefield has
lost considerable luster since he
set the American League on fire
in 1913, year out of the Univer-
sity of Michigan. Some say apathy
developed because he was riding
the Tiger bench. Others say it
was the other way around.
At any rate, Sox manager Jack
Onslow said today he believed ac-
, tive playing before his home town
fans will fire Wakef1elds once

duction. 1--WE could have power,

North and South Women's golf
championship.
The Orange (ConnD girl won the
first hole from the seven-time
winner of this 48-year -old tourna-
ment and never lost the lead.
Pat, 23-year-old daughter of
Judge P. B. O'Sullivan OF the
Connecticut Supreme Court of Ef-
rors, has been regarded for some
time as one Of the longest hitters
in women's golf. Today she was
her usual self off the tee and had
the added touch on approaches and
on the greens under pressure to
turn in a handsome victory.
She lost only two holes to the
39-year-old veteran who won the
national title 13 years ago and in
1885 won this event for the first
of seven championships in II
years.
The tipoff that Pat was razor
sharp came on the very first hole
when she raped in 20-foot putt
for a winning birdie three. That
was the first time in five matches
this week that Mrs. Page had been
down. And she never got of the
hook.

U. s. Charges Reds Shot Down Plane: Asks Indemnity

SHIN GTON, (P) - The United States yesterday charged that Russian fighters shot down the missing American navy patrol plane over open waters of the Baltic Sea.
 It demanded that Russia punish those responsible any pay appro- priate indemnity for the lives of the ten men lost in the plane.
 The charge and the demand were made in a formal reply to Russia's protest of April II that an American plane had flown over Latvia and exchanged gun fire with Soviet aircraft on April 8.
 The American note, delivered in Moscow by Ambassador Alan C.. Kirk, demanded also that ''the most strict and categorical in structionS" be issued to the Soviet air force to prevent any new incl dent "So clearly calculated to magnify the difficulties of main taining peaceful and correct in ternational relationship"
 A U. s. Navy Privateer en route from Weisbaden, Germany to Copenhagen, Denmark, has been missing with ten men aboard since April 8. U. s. military off cials say it was the only American plane in the Baltic area on that date. It was unarmed and under strict order to avoid Soviet terri tory, American officials said.
 A wide spread search for the missing plane was abandoned Monday.
 Vishinsky said Russian fighters jumped the American plane 13 miles inside the boundary of Lat via, the former independent Bal tic State which Russia occupied in 1940. The point he named was

Many Russian High Military Pass On''

NEW YORK, (P)-Moscow has announced, in the past half year, the deaths of Is Russian generals and admirals - some of them rather young.
 The appearance of such obitu- aries so frequently in the Soviet press naturally arouses specula- ton in the west over the poSsibil- ity of a new purge in the Soviet Union. However, there has been no hint in the advices which pass through Moscow censorship that a purge actually is under way.
 Even if the Soviet press has re- ported all the deaths of the top military brass, rather high nor tality rate is indicated. particu- larly when a number of the off cers were in their fortieS.
 The Russians also have report ed the deaths of a considerable number of civilian, as we'll as mill itary, officials. The latest obituary of this type published by the Sov- jet press was that of N. V. Egorov, 48year-old official of the coun- cil of ministers, whose death was announced yesterday.
 Other high-ranking Soviet func- tionaries also have passed away recently. They include Peter An urov, a counsellor first class in the Soviet foreign ministry. His age was not given in the March , death notice, but it said the death was "untimely." Another such was Anatoli Kopytov, minister of cinematography, who died March 10. He was only 43.

MORP ETH, England, (H) - Chimney sweep Anthony Pape made his own coffin and lived 20 years to admire it.
 He made it lovingly from the branches of an oak tree he used to climb as a boy.
 Then, when it came time to use the coffin after Pape's death at the age of 83, it had to be discard ed. Pape apparently had neglected to measure himself for it. It was too small.
