Eisenhower Repeats
Civil Rights Pledges
To NAACP
Delegation

New York, Nov. % - The full
influence of the White House will
be thrown behind efforts to as
chieve civil rights of objectives
during the next four years, Cen
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower, Presi-
dent-elect, today assured a dele
cation representing the National
Association fer the Advancement
of Colored People.
In conference lasting 55
minutes with NAACP President
Arthur B. Spingarn; board mem
berS Theodore Spaulding of Phila-
delphia and Charming H. Tobias
of New York, and Executive Sec
retary Walter White, the General
reiterated his campaign pledges
to work for the elimination of seq
regation in Washington and for
the implementation of other planks
in the Republican platform.
The civil rights issue is a basic
moral issue, the president-elect
told the delegation, Mr.. White re-
ported to a press conference fol-
lowing the interview. On the fill
buster, General Eisenhower ex-
pressed concern but indicated that
he felt it was a matter primarily
for the Senate to decide. However,
he said that he would use his in
fluenee with the Senate to curb
filibuSterS and liberalize its rules,
according to Mr.. White.
General Eisenhower received
the delegation most cordially" the
NAACP leader said. "He indicated
desire to do something effective
to overcome the present stalemate
on civil rights and gave assurance
that he would do everything with

Jackie Robinson
To Boston Braves
If Maybe 80.

Phoenix, Ariz - (CNS) - In
this season for baseball trade ru-
mors, one of the biggest of them
all is being repeated over and
over - that Warren SPAIN, ace
pitcher of the Boston Braves will
head for the Brooklyn Dodgers at
the same time Jackie Robinson
goes to the Braves.
This rumor cannot be dismiss
ed with a grain of salt. That the
Dodgers are interested in top cal
ibre pitchers is known to every
one. That they are interested in
Warren SPAIN particularly has
been expressed by Dodger brass
over and over. That the Boston
Braves are desirous of getting
Jackie Robinson - that thought
too has been entertained by Lou
Perrin, the general manager of the
Boston Club, for the last two
years. According to the Boston
sources, SPAIN is available only if
Robinson is dealt to the Braves
and that will be the only deal.
One Brooklyn club official is
being quoted on how the loss Of
Robbie would affect the Dodgers.
Said he: "Jackie is great ball
player. His dynamic spirit means
a lot. So does his batting. However,
if we had to substitute Junior Gil
liam, Montreal second baseman,
for Robinson the defense effect
on our club hardly would be de-
structive. Junior is double-play
wizard"
That's all there is on this rumor.
We might add Jackie's comment
on any trade rumor as far as he's
concerned: That he wants to play
for no other club but Brooklyn.
And that he would quit baseball
entirely before going to another
club. That's all.

VA LISTS TABOO
GIFTS TO
PATIENTS

Persons who wish to send
Christmas gifts 10 patients in VA
hospitals are reminded by Veter-
ans Administration that certain
presents are inappropriate for
medical reasons, and that certain
others are not needed.
VA said candies, cookies and
other SWEETS are not permitted in
the diet of diabetes and that
certain other foods are restricted
according to the individual med
zeal requirements of other pa
tients.
However, bulk gifts of Yuletide
goodies and seasonal package
foods are acceptable for distri-
button to patients by the mana
gers, the announcement said.
Since VA hospitals normally
buy sufficient quantities of mag
azines, playing cards, puzzles and
games, gifts of this kind are not
in demand.
VA is not permitted to make
public the names of veteran
patients, so gift donors are re-
quested by the agency not to ask
for the names of patients for use
in sending gifts and correspon-
dence. VA said such persons may
send their gifts to the hospital
managers for presentation to pa
tientS.
Because of numerous requests
for a listing of Christmas pres
ents that are considered most ap-
pirate for veteran-patients, VA
suggested the following items:
Books Of 'danteen tickets Tin
denominations of 81 and SIS,
which veterans can use in shop
ping at VA canteens. These books
can be bought from the canteen
or Special Service office at any
VA hospital, domiciliary or 9TH
er stable VA installation. The
purchaser should request the
selling office to deliver the books
to the recipient.

Somebody mentioned that you
often hear of young golfers trying
to copy Nelson. Ben Hogan and
some Of the other golf greats
but you seldom hear of anybody
trying to copy Sam Snead. How
come?
TOO natural" one Of the pros
volunteered. you have to be born
with a swing like Snead's. II
can't be copied. No golfer in the
world has an arc like Sans, and
it would be foolish to try to
copy it."
Fred Corcoran Joined the group
and added that trying to copy
Snead would be comparable to q
batter trying to swing like Ted
Williams. "All the ball players
crowd around the cage when Will
liams is hitting" Corcoran said
"in sheer admiration. But they
can't copy that wrist action"
ION the other hand" Corcoran
continued, you see dozens OF
them initiating Joe DiMaggio,
with hands high and the bat
cooked in that DiMaggio manner" "
Gene Sarazen walked past the
group. nodded and headed for his
locker. It was decided to take
the question to Gene, who is pro
Igolf's most outspoken, and some
times its most opinionated, man.
Sarazen warmed quickly to the
subject. Gene claimed the days
Of young players initiating the
great ones were over.
These kids coming up today
aren't smart enough to copy
Hagen, Jones, Snead, Hogan OF
anybody else" Gene said. "They
are all know-it-allS. They think
their way is best and you can't
tell them anything"
Sarazen said Walter Hagen was
his first idol.
But 1t all goes back to caddy-
ing" SaraZen went on. "Caddy
carts have taken the place OF
caddies and most Of the young
Ipros are human caddie carts. It's
Recommendation"
In Sarazen's opinion. many OF
the young pros waste their time
in practicing. because they're not

said.

Gene thinks that anybody who
takes more than two and a half
hours to play 18 holes is wasting
his time.
Bobby Brownell, Sarazen's play
ing partner the first two rounds
added his bit. Sarazen said he
never had played this course be-
fore and didn't even get here in
time for a practice round.
Gene would stand on the tee,
look ahead and say, rs that the
green down there?' and bang
away.
He'd walk down the fairway
and so yards before he got to
his ball he'd pick a club, step up
to the ball and hit it. Only once
or twice did he change clubs from
the one he picked out long before
he reached his tee shot"
OF course this fast play business
OF Sarazen'S is old stuff to many of
the pros, and some of them are
tired of it.
Jimmy Demaret, never a Sara
zen rooter, is one. Somebody told
Jimmy that Sarazen had been
talking about taking too much
time on a golf course and Demaret
said, $50 what?"
Il could get Jesse Ovens to
play a round in % minutes" De-
maret said with laugh, and with
a glance in Sarazen's direction he
added. But he wouldn't come ur
with anything"

The home team broke a 6-6
