Money . Controlling Factor.
AS in all area problems, the
question Of public health services
comes down to q question Of
money! The District does not
have-and never win have under
the present financial setup-the
facilities required to service the
whole Metropolitan Area. From
the point Of view Of the individual
taxpayer. he might get better
services for less money by q pool
ing Of area resources. Under the
present system, it cannot be done,
except In q very limited way.
If a solution can be found, It
might appear that the suburban
resident would benefit most. But
there is evidence that it would not
be entirely q one-way proposition.
For one thing. most area facilities
for care Of convalescent and aged
people are outside the District.

CONCHS TUESDAY MITE
NATIONAL ALL-STARS BITTER AS
AMERICANS SAY RAIN WON GAME
ROBINSON. SAUER'S
HOMERS WERE THE
EDGE, SAYS NATL
LOOP MANAGER
By JOE REICH Err

PHILADELPHIA LAP The tri-
umphant National League ALI
Stars should have been happy to-
day with their third straight vic
tory over the American League.
Instead, they were bitter-and all
their bitterness was directed at
their beaten rivals.
$50 Casey Stengel blames their
defeat on the weather." a National
League All-Star participant echoed.
That's a lot of sour grapes.
What's the matter? Don't they
like it when the shoe is on the
ether foot?"
II suppose the raindrops carried
those two home-run blasts by Jack
lie Robinson and Hank Sauer over
the WALL" the indignant National
Lacquer continued. eff anybody
has a beef about the rain, it should
be us. They would not have scored
either of their two runs if the
ground had not been wet and slip
perry"
Earlier Manager Stengel was
asked to what he attributed the
American 3-2 defeat in Tuesdays
game that was cut to five innings
because of incessant rain.
81 amt blaming anybody" the
gnarled old skipper of the New
York Yankees said at first. Then
he ventured, maybe, the rain. /"
Cant tell what would have hap
pened If we'd played out the game.
/ had some good men on the bench
ready to send in. guys like Mickey
Mantle, Vic Wertz, Ferris Fain
and Eddie Yost"
There is no question that the
rain and muddy field marred the
play, but it didn't appear to ham,
per the pitchers and it had little
effect, if any, on the National
League sluggers.
Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet
would have prevented Sauer's ter
rifle blast from clearing the wall
with Stan Musial on base in the
fourth inning.
That mighty home run, 400
foter that landed atop the roof
and bounded out of the premises,
equalized the 2-run splurge of the
Americans in the top of the fourth
and gave the Nationals their
seventh win in 10 clashes and
Manager Leo Durocher's first in
three attempts. Stengel, who has
whipped the Nationals in the last
three World Series, has now
dropped the last three All-Star
games.
Coming on top of the robust T.
Dagger belted by Jackie Robinson
In the first inning, Sauer's blow
proved for the third consecutive
year that the balance of power
has definitely swung towards the
older circuit.
The sluggers did not steal the
entire show. The brilliant Bobby
Shantz, l40.pound ieiihander of the
Philadelphia Athletics. pitched only
the Fifth Inning but covered him
self with glory by striking out three
of the National Leagues best hit
ters-Whitey Loekman, Stan Mu-
sial and Jackie Robinson.
Bob Rush, Sauer's teammate on
the Chicago Cubs, was credited
with the decision.
