Cleveland Is
Picked To
Win This Year
Bv JOE RElcHLER

NEW YORK Up - The Cleveland
Indians failed TO win the pennant
last year despite basebalrs strong
est pitching staff because they wen
only seven out of % games from
New York and only one out OF IL
at Yankee Stadium. They figured
10 get even better pitching this
year which probably means more
victories against the Yankees.
This, in the opinion of the writer,
should bring a flag to Manager AL
Lopez and his Cleveland club.
The American League race
should be strictly a 2-team affair
between the Yankees and Indians.
The Yankees have a better bal.
anced club, a stronger attack and
a slicker defensive unit, But the
Indians have the pitchers to carry
their players.
II Bob Lemon had enjoyed
normal year. Cleveland could have
won the 81 flag. Lemon, a 20
game winner fer three straight
seasons, barely broke even with
TIA last year. Ills brilliant work
in the exhibitions indicate he may
again head the mighty staff that
includes Bob Fellow l22-sl, Mike
Garcia and Early Wynn tboth with
20.I3 records.
Why should the Yankees lose?
This writer. who picked them TO
win last year. thinks the YankS
win miss Joe DiMaggio more than
anyone expects. They should also
miss the fine second base playing
Of Gerry Coleman. and their bench
may suffer from the loss of Bobby
Brown. third baseman and pinch
hitter dc luxe.
No ether team has the strength
or depth to make a real run for
the flag. The hnstling Chicago

TREATY WITH AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

The United States New Zealand and Australia have
entered into Tripartte Security Treaty. This treaty
grew out of demands by Australia and New Zealand 1or
u S. assurances against Japanese aggression
The name ANUS (for Australia New Zealand, and
the United States) has been adopted to label matters
dealing with the treaty The State Department has been
careful not to give the impression that this Pacific treaty
can be compared with the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
cation.
The defense of the Pacific is much complicated
than the defense of the Atlantic The members OF Paci1
alliance are strung out 10000 mile area, while
NATO deals with mature countries in relatively COM
pact land area of the countries in the Pacific have
ineffective land forces and power There also
strong anti-W estern and neutralist sentiment.
Another thing that should be remembered is that it
would be virtually impossible to work out an effective Pa
cific defense pact without including Japan member
Most of the nations of the Far East unwilling how
ever to enter an alliance of which japan is member
In as much as there are shooting wars going on in
the Pacific it is almost academic at present to consider
Pacific defense pact Besides fighting the Korean war; the
United States is furnishing about onehrd of the economic
and military supplies being used by the French in the In
do-Chna war; and also substantially assisting the British
IN Malaya
The United States is also aiding the Philippines, In
da and Indonesia to assist them to become internally
strong The United States is also committed to defend the
Philippines, Japan, and Formosa in case of attack.
Thus the possibility of Pacific defense alliance is
still regarded remote and premature The Irpartte
Treaty with New Zealand and Australia is important
however as another link in the chain of defense commit
ment aimed at containing Communism.

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES
BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD DIT took tele-
vision and a busted marriage to
do it, but songstress Peggy Lee
has finally been snagged by the
movies.
The blonde Miss Lee is playing
the leading role opposite Danny
Thomas in "The Jazz Singer"
What's more, she has signed for
two pictures a year for Warmers
with an option for another. This is
a gal who has turned down film
offers before, so l asked her why
the change of heart.
"Yes, I've had offers before"
she admitted. 81 guess / talked to
MGM three different times about,
it. Finally I told the casting di.
rector, Billy Grady, that we should
call the whole thing off. You're
just wasting your time and mine,
/ said.
"One of the reasons didn't want
to do movies was that l was mar
ried Ito Dave Barbour) at the
time. I was already involved in
too many things. I knew that If
l added movies to them, it might
be the last straw that would break
up the marriage. AS it was, the
marriage broke up anyway.
another reason was that I just
couldn't face it. Getting up before
an audience had always been tor
ture for me. ! guess I've always
been shy. / always had to give
myself a pep talk before I went
out to sing. / said to myself that
if / gave in and didn't meet the
challenge, that / wouldn't be able
to do anything in life.

myself out on the stage. Once !
started singing, felt fine"
wondered how a girl witch such
fear of audiences could get started
in the singing business.
Ever since I can remember, I
had a desire to sing" she ex-
planned. II had a driving urge to
express myself in song, and it
pushed me on, even though / was
scared tn death of performing be-
fore people"
Peggy also credits television
with helping to conquer her I'm
easiness. She spent year or two
in the East on various shows.
''It was a grind. but the expe-
rience was valuable" she COM
mented. 81 was on several times
a week, and we did everything.
We had a llama on the Steve Al
len show and / grew very fond
of it. One day ! was singing a
song to the llama on the air, but
it kept smuggling up to me. real
lied it was stealing the closeup,
so gave it aspush and said, I'm
as strong as you are ! kept right
on singing"
Peggy was brought to films by
Michael Curtiz, who is currently
directing her. He visited her sew
eral times while she was singing
at a sunset strip night spot.
AS he explains it II realized
that God had given her an unusual
ability to express warmth and sim
cerity in song. So why shouldn't
she be able to do the same with
spoken words?"
Some eyebrows were raised
when Peggy was signed by War
ners. The queen of the lot is an
other blonde singer named Doris
Day, No. 2 box office draw among
the female stars. fNo. /: Betty

would be no conflict between
Misses Lee and Day. who are both
his discoveries.
They are entirely different
types" said the director, Doris
