Batting i'm baseball calls for a marvel
GUS coordination of eye and body. A bat
with rounded surface must meet a

close to the balls center. Both bat and ball
are somewhat elastic, and the bat can meet
the ball slightly above or below center and the
two will fatten sufficiently to engage the two

The great hitter is man who consistently

hitters will send enough drives through or
over the infelders to give them about three

These observations assume that the ball
comes to the batter in generally horizontal
plane In this plane the batter swings more
or less horizontally. 1t is the only natural way
to swing. The batter has only one problem,
to swing naturally and hit the ball squarely
A ball pitched in this horizontal plane is
known as cripple, because it is so easy to
hit. The range within which these easy-to-hit
horizontal balls must travel is narrow. 1t is
about 20 inches or so, from just below the

ball the bat must strike On horizontal
pitch the batter needs only to hit the ball
somewhere near the center. On very low
ball small deviation off center results in
twisting foul to left or right or slow dribbler
to the infield.
Here we have the crux of the matter. Bat
tiers can make few hits off very high balls.
Off very low balls, hits are all but impossible.

Coal Man Confident
OF Regaining Ground
Lost 10 Other Fuels
By WiIliom G. Smock
Associated Press Financial Writer

PITTSBURGH. July 7.-One
leading coal company executive
thinks his industry is heading for
a comeback in which it will re-
gain some ground lost to COM
petitive fuels.
He is Joseph Pursglove, jr., vice
president in charge of research
and development for the Pitts
burgh Consolidation Coal Co., the
worlds largest bituminous pro-
ducer.
Mr.. Pursglove isn't faxed by the
fact that oil and gas have re-
placed coal in many markets.
Railroads. once Goals biggest Gus
toners, are buying more and more
oil-burning diesels. Utilities, Goals
current No. / customer, use more
competitive fuels than they once
did.
Trend Toward Gas Continues.
The trend toward household
heating by gas continues as fast
as sufficient supplies become avail
able. More and more commercial
heating is switching from solid
fuels.
Even in many utility power
houses, heavy oil gets the nod in
stead of coal-particularly in areas
where imported Oil is available as
it is on the Eastern Seaboard
Mr.. Pursglove says major
comeback is around the corner
He predicts that Goals competitive
struggle with competing fuels will
be less intense in coming years
and that coal will move into
more and more situations occu-
pied by liquid fuels and gases
after 1855.
Any future threats of an all
out war will help coal, too, he
thinks. He pointed out that Goa
reserves are tremendous and that
coal must supply the biggest
muscles and sinews for poWerine
industry in the event of an all
out war.
Sees Less Heavy Oil.
. Mr.. Pursglove contends thai
some oil consumers who switched
to coal are coming back into the
fold But he doubts that this
trend will gain much momentum
until oil production reaches a
peak and starts to decline.
Looking ahead four or five
years, Mr. Pursglove made this
prediction:

Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,

warned last night against any
"letup in our preparedness pro-
gram" as preliminary cease-f1re
negotiations got under way in
Korea.
I'VE must continue to main
tain a high degree OF strength
and efficiency in the Army, Navy
and Air Force" said the chair
man of the Senate Appropria-
tions Subcommittee now consid-
ering the $60.6 billion defense
budget for the next II months.
mo suggestion has been made
by any member of my subcommit-
tee that our preparedness effort
should be decreased" he con-
tinued. Indeed, Senator Lodge.
Republican, of Massachusetts, has
asked to appear to urge an ex-
pansion of the Air Force, which
has my complete sympathy.
Cites Need of Bombers.
I'm strongly of the opinion we
should have the long-range bomb
ers and air bases within the bor-
ders of continental United States
which will enable u.s., if need be,
to defend ourselves effectively
against the head and center of
the present international turbu-
lence."
Senator OMahoney said that
in appraising the negotiations for
a cease-fire, 1T should never be
forgotten that the 38th Parallel
has no significance with respect
to the U. N. except that the Rus
slams forbade a U. N. commission
to cross that parallel to hold a
national election for Korea.
The Soviet government, at
Potsdam and at Moscow, agreed
that Korea should be unified and
independent" he continued.
Attack Inspired by Moscow.
The first Korean aggression,
therefore was the Soviet aggr s.
sion to bar unification and indie
pendence of Korea. The North
Korean attack was inspired by
the Soviet government.
The Red Chinese intervention
was also inspired by the Soviet
government. The latter took place
hen it was apparent that the
North Koreans were being de-
feated. Jacob Maliks broadcast
for ase-fire was made when it
became apparent that the Red
Chinese as we'll as the North Ko-
reans were being defeated.
This devious record of Soviet
activities is warming to us not
to be misled by so-called peace
discussions. Certainl.- there should
