CLUB BATTING
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, July 15.-There Is
little doubt about Stan Musial be-
ing the most feared hitter in the
National League. But now we
have it right from the horses
mouth.
OF seven top pitchers oues-
toned, four of them say Musial
is the toughest batter to get out
in the league Another recalls
Musial getting seven straight hits
against his pitching. The other
two questioned couldn't possibly
rate Stan on actual performances
because they are Harry Brecheen
and Howie Pollet. his southpaw
teammates on the Cardinals.
Musial's lifetime average for
eight campaigns is .346.
No Definite Weakness.
Warren SPAIN, Don Newcombe,
Russ Meyer and Ken Raffens-
berger all say Musial is harder
to retire than any other batter.
"Musial has no definite weak
ness" says SPAIN, Braves left
handler. "Stan is the kind of
guy who makes up his mind to
swing and swings. He has hit
bad pitches against me but some
times he even hits the bad pitches
for home runs, which is some
thing few fellows in baseball do
today"
Here's what Newcombe says:
You never get Stan set up
against you. You can't pitch to
a particular spot. Hold him to
a single and you're doing good
Meyer says the same thing in
effect.
You can't fool Musial con-
siStenly. You can get Stan once
but not a second time. He has
good eyes and refuses to go fol
the bad pitch"
Roberts Picks Sauer.
Raffensbergers feelings about
Musial's hitting are similar. Here's
what Cincinatti's southpaw says;
"Musial has no weakness, that's
for sure. used to have set way
to pitch against him but he's not
going after my pitch any longer
Roberts, leader of the PhillieS
staff of Whiz Kids, voted Hank
Sauer of the Cubs as the toughest
hitter against his pitching. "How-
ever, Stan hit me seven for sever

during a spell last season. He hits

Pollet thinks Ralph Kiner is
about the toughest hitter and
Brecheen lists such right handed
swingers as Carl Furillo, Jack
Robinson, Sid Gordon. Bob Elliott
and Walker Cooper right around
the top.
Two Name Heinrich.
Of eight American League
pitchers questioned, two thought
Tommy Heinrich of the Yankees
was top man. The rest of the
pitchers each had a different
man-Ted Williams, Vern Ste
phens. Bobby Doerr. George Kell
Dale Mitchell and Pete Suder.
However, five pitchers appropri-
ately enough mentioned Williams
as being among the roughest
Four others thought Joe d
Maggie and Doerr should be listed
among the rough customers.
But Mel Parnell and BOZ
Lemon. the two best American
League pitchers last season, both
gave the nod to Heinrich.

(Continued from Page One) the forces recently engaged in bit. ter fighting over the partition of Palestine.
 MT. Truman said tho United States believes the action will stimulate, in the Arao states and Israel, increased confidence in future security, thus accelerating the progress now being made in the near east and contributing to- ward the well-being of peoples there"
 He added:
 "The participation of the Uni ted States government in the de- claration emphasizes this coun- try's desire to promote the main tainance of peace in the near east"
 Although there was no refer ence to the importance of the middle east in the east-West cold war, officials here were of the opinion the big-three foreign min isters had this strongly in mind
 Their joint statement said the three governments recognized that the Arab states and Israel need to maintain a certain level of armed forces for the purpose of insuring their internal security, their self defense and to permit them to play their due part in the defense of the whole area"
 Observers said this means Is- rael will get the tanks, artillery and jet planes she wants from the United States although north At, lantic pact nations have the first priority.

 Apparently this is about normal rate but there has been expansion of credit since the end of last year
 One phase of the commercial credit policy revolves around home building Veterans allowed to buy with no down payment and the public generally gets low interest rates and long periods in which to pay The fear is that downturn in business could throw much of this property the market but in view of the popu ation increase of 1900 900 people the last years this seems unlikely.

 The idea in Mr. Laurences mind is that the horror of such war-making will make "unthinkable" Be- of the widespread destruction that the bombs accomplish it is his belief that nation will be willing to go to
 This is not borne out by any of the facts of history The truth of the matter is that the Russians, if they thought they possessed weapons sufficient conquer the world, would not hesitate from such enterprise because of the horror of the weapons to be used It has been throughout the ages and it will be in the future.
