AT Wright Field

WRIGHT PATTERSON AIR
FORCE BASE, OHIO - Major
Robert Z. Gibbs, on military leave
from his civilian post as an attor-
ney for the Farm Bureau Coopera-

The caliber of the work done by

duty has received high praise from
1t. Gen. E. w. Rawlings, COM
manding general of the Air Mater
iel Command. He said:
During the emergency OCCASION
ed by the Korean war the Air
Force has leaned heavily on the
abilities of our reserve officers.
They have made invaluable con-
tributions to our overall efforts.
Many of them had to make per-
sonal sacrifices when they left
their jobs and businesses to put on
the Air Force uniform. They merit
the sincere appreciation of the Air
Force and our nations citizens for
their contributions to the security
of our country"

The Nixon situation, with which
his aides already had been ac-
quainted, was credited with con-
tributing to Eisenhower's grim ap-
pearance as he delivered a major
farm speech at Omaha Thursday
night.

ard Nixon's non-official California
fexpense account cast a pail over
Gen. Dwight d. Eisenhower's cam
5paign train as it rolled South
Through Nebraska.
4 Although Eisenhower maintained
ggrim-faced silence about the rev.
elations involving his vice presi-
Dental running mate, there was
no doubt many of the generals
associates regarded the matter as
serious political setback.
There was some taIK-not shared
publicly by the Republican presi-
Dental nominees top advisers
that Nixon should be asked TO
take himself off the ticket. DEM
ocratic National Chairman Stephen
A. Mitchell said Nixon should quit
the race.
In California where he is CAM
paigning, Nixon denounced as a
political smear" Mitchell's state
ment that it was morally wrong"
for the COP senator to draw on a
$4,000 to SIT, 900 expense fund set
up by business men in his state.
Dana c. Smith, Pasadena attor-
ney who acted as trustee, said
the fund was raised because the
$500 expense money allowed SEN
ators was not enough for one from
a state as large and populous as
California. He said no donor had
ever asked Nixon for special fa-
vors."
Nixon said In a statement the
money was used for hiring extra
clerical help, travel expense, print
ing of speeches and documents and
for postage.
It was evident that the Nixon
disclosures were embarrassing to
Eisenhower, who has been pound
ing away on his Midwestern tour
against what he charges is cor
ruption in government and prom
ising that the Republicans would
restore integrity to officialdom
if elected.
He was expected to continue
those charges in four Nebraska

Boston and ourselves to get back

Since the Indians took three
straight from the Yanks at the

of Is while the Yanks have taken
eight out Of IL.
Stengel also was pleased over
the deals that have shipped

Cleveland won't be able to push
them around as in other years

won't either, but that's all right.
The tougher the league is, from
top to bottom, the harder it is
for one team to get off to long

Stengel is counting on his

lead during the Yanks' home
stand, a 17-game affair which
starts tomorrow night.
If we can win anywhere, it's
lat home" Stengel pointed out.

we don't blow it the way they

Houtteman, Hooper
And Dickson Settinq
Hard-Luck Records
BY Joe ReichIer
Associated Press Sports Writer

Art Houtteman, Murry Dickson
and Bob Hooper are running
neck-and-neck for the hard-luck
among major league pitchers.
At the moment, Houtteman is
in the fore. The young Detroit
hurler dropped a heart-breaker
yesterday. losing a 10 decision to
Marv Grissom as the Chicago
White Sox twice shut out Detroit.
Veteran Joe Dobson outpitched
Virgil Trucks, 80, in the first
game of the doubleheader.
Hooper also went down, 10, as
the Athletics were held to split
by the Mats, who had lost the first
game, 81. 1t was Hooper's fourth
loss without victory this season.
Dickson. Pittsburgh's gritty
right-hander. was within one out
of registering his first triumph
since April 30-and only his Sec
,ond of the year-but a two-out
home run by Dee Fondy with a
man on base in the ninth inning
dashed Murry's hopes. The blow
came of DickSons reliever, Ted
Wilks, and gave the Chicago Cubs
"a 5-4 win over the Pirates.
Indians Get Split.
Cleveland earned a split with
the st. Louis Browns, winning the
nightcap. 6-2. after Rogers Horns
by's men had taken the opener,
Us. The split left the 'front.'
running Indians still three games
ahead of Washington and the
Boston Red Sox, now tied for Sec
ond place.
In the only other action the st.
Louis Cardinals snapped a four
game losing streak, coming from
behind to nip the Cincinnati Reds.
7-6. Rain washed out the second
game. Bad weather also post
poned games between the Yankees
and Red Sox. Brooklyn and Phila-
delphia and the Boston Braves
and the New York Giants.
When tougher ball games are
lost Houtteman will lose 'em. The
only run given up by the 24-year-
old Detroiter yesterday resulted
from a wild pitch. That came in
the first inning and scored AL Ia
rilla, who had tripled with one
out. The only Detroit player to
pass first was Joe Ginsberg. who
doubled with two out in the fifth.
GriSsom, once with the Tigers,
surrendered only three hits for his
first victory.
Houtteman's record Is 3-6. Four
of his defeats have been by one
run. One of his victories was a
shutout. The other two were by
one run. Even in his shutout VIC
tory. Art had hard luck. He had
a no-hitter until two out in the
ninth. Then Harry Simpson
singled to spoil his no-hit bid.
Lost Three 10 Games.
Houtteman now has lost three
times by 10 scores, in his third
full season in the majors. That's
a far cry from the record number
of 27 10 games lost by Walter
johnson, but unless his luck
changes. Houtteman may chal-
lenge that figure before he's
through.
Dickson was not charged with
yesterdays defeat. as Fondy's
homer came of Wilks, who had
relieved Murry in the eighth.
Dickson stood to be the winner.
