WILLIAMS
 TRIES FOR
 61 H0MER5
By JOE REICHLER Associated Press SpOrtswriter)

Shifts or no shifts, I'll always be shooting for those fences"
 The speaker? Who else but Ted Williams, the storm center of the American League. In more ways than one.
 Williams never has said so pub licly but Mhat basebalps top slugger wants most-next to seeing his BoS- ton Red Sox win a pennant-is to break Babe Ruth's record of 50 home runs in one season.
 Williams has reached the magic 400 batting figure. He's already won the batting title, not once but four times. He's already gained the most valuable player award.
 This year he's setting his sights on 61 home runs. With Il four bag gers in Boston's first 28 games, who is there to say Williams won't break the Bambino's most coveted re- cord? Remember also that Ted mis- sed seven games because of illness. Breaking it down. Williams has averaged /oetter than one homer every two games.
 I'm being paid to hit homers, '' Williams once said when he was chided for not trying to break up the shift by hitting more to left. -Four little singles in a game is great, but home runs and winning ball games are greater"
 TWO HOmers Slammed
 Ted and his slugging mate, Vern Stephens, each slammed two homers yesterday to account for all Bos- tons runs as the Red Sox defeated Detroit, 6-1. The loss dropped the Tigers out of first place.
 The Yankees buried the St. Louis Browns, 11-0, behind Allie Reynolds five-hit pitching. Billy Johnson led the attack on four St. Louis hurlers with home run and two singles.
 Washington retained it's half game fourth place margin over Cleveland's Indians by nosing out the White Sox in Chicago, 6-5 while the Indians were smothering the Philadelphia Athletics, 15-4.
 Robin Roberts protected Phila- delphia's first place hold in the Ma tional League by besting Ewel Blackwell of Cincinnati in bril- liant hurling duel. Roberts allowed only two hits as the Phils eked out 10 triumph over the Reds. The Phils got only three hits off Cincy's tall righthander. Scratch hits by Richie Ashburn and Gran Hammer in the first in- ming and a walk to Eddie Waitkus < loaded the bases. Ashburn scored when Del Ennis hit into double play.
 Dodgers in 2nd Spot Preacher Roe pitched the Brook lyn Dodgers into second place with 3-1 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. The slender lefthander allowed only four hits in registering his third triumph.
 Johnny Sain turned in his sec- ond consecutive shutout for Bos- , tons Braves blanking the Pitts burgh Pirates, 80, with six hits He shut out Chicago by the same

Says VA Should
Liberalize Its
Program

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE CA
NP) Veterans Administration
should "liberalize" the criteria of
it's program for brain surgery in
cases involving schizophrenic
patients was the recommendation
made last Tuesday by DR.. Walter
Freeman, professor of neurology
at George Washington University
Medical school.
DR.. Freeman, who is also the
Veterans Administrators senior
consultant in pschy-surgery, warn
ed that in veterans hospitals the
patient-load of mental cases is pill
ing up and added that "the i'm
portant thing is not to wait too
long for brain surgery when the
patient is going bad"
The Washington physician spoke
at the second days meeting of the
five-day. clinic conducted jointly
by the John A. Andrew Memorial
Hospital of Tuskegee institute and
the nearby Tuskegee Veterans hos
pital, where 100 ofthe 21O0 pat
tents are psychoneurotic veterans.
The Veterans Administration
now requires that schizophrenic
patients must be sick and under
observation for at least IL to Is
months, and that other types of
treatment must be available be-
fore a lobotomy or brain operation
is permitted, according to the
speaker, 1t also requires that
only neurosurgeons can perform
brain surgery.
1t was pointed out that loboto-
my as a method oftherapy has
been a subject Of wide %controver-
sy and that there were sharp diff
ferences of opinion among psych-
iatrists, neurologists and neruo-
surgeons regarding the mitigation
of this technique.
Harvey J. Tompkins, chief ofthe
,psychiatry and neurology division
of VA, said that good medical
practice required that safeguards
be developed for careful screening
of patients selected for a loboto-
my. H. said much additional relia-
BILE information is needed before
the effects Of psychosurgery can
properly be estimated.
The Veterans Administration
has a new research program, &C
cording to DR.. Tompkins. This
plan calls for 200 operated cases
inthe first year group, which will
allow a comprehensive study of
control comparisons between op-
Grated and Incorporated patients
suffering from schizophrenia.

Gregg Immediately termed him
the "finest natural shorthand
writer" he had ever encountered.
Through pitching Horseshoes"
millions learned of tales concern
ing the first waves of Jewish i'm
migrants who set up residency
on the sidewalks of New York.
The hardships, humor and grit of
the immigrants supplied themes
for many of Roses down-to-earth
strikingly warm, human columns.
Other "Horseshoes" pieces dealt
with the little man in the street,
the grocer, the cop-even the
bookie. Readers were never quite
certain what the inimitable Billy
Rose would write about next.
Editors were equally befuddled.

Rose cannot be categorized-ex-

Rose started in show business
with a mere $4,000 investment.
In seven months his Back Stage
Club, an upstairs speakeasy on
56th Street in New York City,
became the popular hangout for
show people, social registerites
and newspapermen. On any night
of the week tables were filled
with such well-knowns as Walter
Winchell, AL. Jolson, William
Rhinelander ewart, Arnold
RothStein, Sophie Tucker, Mark
Hellingec, and Harry Thaw. Rose
hired a sultry blues singer-an
unknown named Helen Morgan
and asked her to sit on the piano
because the room was too crowd
ed. The pose became the "Show
Boat" stars trademark in later
years.
After seven months, Rose sold
his nighterie at $4,000 profit.
In succeeding years, Rose opened
one club after another. They were
gigantic money-makers. It was

Speaking of good ideas gone
wrong, as somebody was only a
week or Sc ago, there is "Father
Is a Bachelor" which arrived yes
terday at the Metropolitan. The
services of two directors were
needed to put together Father Is
a Bachelor" and if ever a broth
was spoiled by you-know-what,
two directors is one too many
cooks.
The idea here seems to have
been to do charming little
comedy about a carefree young
vagapond who is so taken with a
family of five orphans that he
lets them adopt him as their
uncle and protector. It's a
passable idea, all right, and it
keeps peeking in all through
Father Is a Bachelor" but it
keeps getting pushed right out
the door again. What Directors
Norman Foster and Abby Berlin
got out of the script by Aleen
Leslie and James Edward Grant
is lot of trite shmaltz that has
staged, theatrical look rather
than the natural one which would
have BROUGHT it off. Maybe. of
course, they got a lot of this trite
stuff in the script as well as out
of it. At any rate, despite fair
numoer of laughs over William
Holden's predicament, the going
gets sticky.
Mr.. Holden does we'll enough.
all right. He is, in fact, getting
to be a mighty handy man to
have around in these comedies
about young men innocently
