The doctors pointed out that
Forrestal drained his immense en-
ergy to the dregs in attempting
to end the in~ter-service battle
over u%nification of the Armed
Forces.
They said the feuds and fric-
lions, the corrosie personal abuse
to which he was subjected, took a
dread toll and brought about the
final fit Of dependency which
ended in his leap to death from
the hospital tower.
FORRESTAL WAS Sc when he
died. He entered the government
as administrative assistant to the
late President Roosevelt in 1910,
was Under Secretary of the Navy
from 1941 to 1914, and served as
Secretary of the Navy for three
years.
Under the Unification Act, he
took office in the rev cabinet
post of Secretary Of Defense Sept.
II, 1947. He relinquished the Of
flee to Johnson March %, 1949.
Forrestal went to Florida FOR a
rest. 1t was there that his illness
became alarmingly apparent, and
he was flown to Bethesda. His
friends say he died believing he
had failed in his great responsible
ties to the nation.
But they say, too, that history
will prove him wrong in that
painful belief.

NEW YORK, May % (INS)-
The high-octane Hucksters who
are currently promoting Fathers
Day have inundated every news
paper man, woman and copy boy
of my acquaintance with tons OF
rich, ripe roquefort fortified with
limburger.
The latest communique from
the hawkers says, in part, "Hope
you have decided to say something
about Fathers Day in your feat
ure prior to June IT,"
AS a matter Of fact, I hadn't
expected to ignore the whole
commercial shennanigans.
But, since the boys insist, /
will be happy to go on record as
denouncing Fathers Day,
| Mothers Day and all similar days
as Just so much mercantile NAL
arky. These days r. wrapped in
about as much tender sentiment
as a fire sale or as a bargain
basement pre-inventory clearance.
Both Mothers Day and Fathers
Day may have been created or
iginally in a burst Of beautiful
pathos, but they have long since
become merely high-powered pro-
motion schemes to keep the cash
registers clinking.
If all the neckties moved off
shelves by Fathers Day ballyhoo
! were laid e%nd-to-end, it would
still be a horrible sight. And ]
doubt if any bum ever stopped
beating his old lady just to cele-
brate Mothers Day.
THESE DAYS HAVE become
elaborate commercial rackets tt
sell flowers, candy, neckties
shirts, lingerie, cuff-links, tie
pins, costume jewelry, golf clubs
nylons and a thousand-and -one
other gadgets dreamed up by the
high pressure Katzenjammers.
The Hucksters are selling the
cuff-links and the golf balls, the
ties and the sox this year with ar
elaborate campaign backed up by
a pious inveiton of their own
called "a Fathers Ten Command
ments for Good Citizenship" The
commandments are so full OF
lofty moral sentiments that, fol
a split second, the clank of the
cash register is scarcely audible

their ten commandments for pop

NEW YORK. June 22-P. K.
Wrigley. jr.. owner of the Chicago
Cubs, today called for a new char
ter for the baseball commissioners
job as a search for a successor to
A. B. Chandler began in earnest.
Before we can pick the man
we must decide what the job is, I"
Wrigley said in a telephone inter-
view from Chicago. "Up to now,
the duties have been negative.
The baseball commissioner should
not be policeman. He should be
a leader"
Chandler resigned yesterday, ef-
fective July Is. At that time con-
troll of baseball will pass into the
hands of an Executive Council
composed of Will Harridge, Amer
ican League president; Ford Frick,
National League president; Tom
Yawkey, Boston ked Sox, and
Warren Giles, Cincinnati Reds.
Wrigley is a member of the
Screening Committee appointed to
sift candidates for Chandler's Job.
Their work is complete, he said.
and a list has been drawn up. Now
it is up to baseball owners to make
their decision.
There have been two trends of
thought in baseball. One is to get
a national figure. The name of
James A. Farley, former Post
master General. has been heard
most frequently in this connection.
The other is to get a baseball man.
George Trautman, head of the
minors, probably leads this list.
THE picture has changed COM
pletely in the 81 years since Judge
Lands became our first commits
sioner," Wrigley said. 1--WE need
a new set of specifications for the
job. When we get that, we can
decide on a man to fit them"

Branch Rickey's first major ex-

fizzles out today when Ralph
Kiner, first baseman, moves back
to his familiar post in left field.
Kiner shifted to first base in
spring training at the suggestion
of Hickey. The switch hasn't
helped the club. 1t can't be
blamed on Kiner, who has done
well considering the abuse from
Pittsburgh fans.
Ralph has given first base a
real effort" his manager, Billy
Myer said but after so many
years in the outfield, it is tough
for any one to make the change
that Kiner tried"
Jack Phillips and Rocky Nelson,
obtained from the Cardinals, will
alternate at first base.

product, will take over the CENTER

veal any of the names on the
prepared list, but indicated it was
a lengthy one.

that baseball would not be in any

Chandler. Both leagues meet in

said they did not expect any diff
