eight timely safeties and five Selma
errors to gain their win. Selma

of the situation when they ran the
basepathS with abandon, to throw
their men into scoring position.
George Lastres started on the
mound for the Conchs but as vic
tory became apparent, he was re-
moved after three innings on the
hill. Coach Paul Davis ordered the
switch to save Lastres for tougher
opposition that may face the

He was replaced by Gibby Gates,
who was relieved after two innings
of effective hurting by Harold Has.

In Lithuania

MOSCOW 1.-THE Soviet press
today disclosed SERIOUS mistakes"
in the governing of the Baltic state
of Lithuania and said more Lith-
uanian Nationals are going TO be
given chance 70 make good.
Today'S papers said a recent
meeting of the Lithuanian Com
munist party's CenIral Committee
admitted distortions in carrying
out national policies, particularly
by Insufficient training and pro-
motion" Of Lithuanian nationals to
party and economic posts.
Similar mistakes were uncovered
only last week in the important
Ukrainian Republic. As a result,
the top Communist there, L. G.
Melnikov. was ousted from his post
as first secretary of the Ukrainian
party.
II was reported at TIE time that
the firing of Melnikov was a part
of the Kremlin campaign against
individuals or policies tending to
undermine the friendship among
the various nahonalitieS Of the
SOVIET Union. For ore thing. Mel
nikov was accused OF ordering the
use of the Russian language rather
than Ukrainian in some schools.

BY GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK R-The mailman
brought letter signed by Charles
G. Riccio, 10, a resident of Brook
Ign who wishes to become a pro-
fessional baseball catcher and who
feels he has been given fast
shuttle by his hometown Dodgers.
ION May 6th," Riccio writes, Il

Brooklyn and assigned to the Hor-
nell farm team, Class-D Pony
League. / left for Hornell on May

car for sale and been given a
grand sendoff by family and
Now, less than three weeks
later, / am home again, having
been Internationally released.
"The three weeks / was at Hor-
nell l spent sitting on the bench
and warming up pitchers. / was
assigned to play only on two oc-
caSionS and was at bat three times.
Do you consider this a fair trial
of a players merit -justifying the
abrupt cancellation of his contract?
Il am wondering whether this

/ was especially unlucky in falling
into the hands of the manager at
Hornell, who happens also to be
the catcher Of the team there.
"The manager himself insisted
on playing in all the games. even
though on one occasion his ankle
was so badly injured that it had
to be taped--and he is still limp
ing. Another time, when he was
stricken with flu and ordered to
stay In bed, he still insisted on
playing and actually threw up in
the dugout.
"Of course I'm not giving UP
yet, but / did want you to know
how such high hopes could be SO
completely and. believe, unfairly
shattered in so short a time"
. Such a communication from base
balls neither world has been rare
in our experience, and we lost little
time in getting through to Buzz
Bavasi, a clean-living young vice
president Of the Dodgers. Advised
that he might be in position to do
his good deed for the summer,
Bavasi said wait a minute.
Il have II here. his card" he

Just the same, we pursued did
the Dodgers cause this ambitious
young man to lose his regular job
by promising him a baseball ca.
reer and then cast him loose after
only three times at bat?
HE did not give up his Job, I"
Bavasi replied. "We insisted that
he get a leave of absence before
we consented to his plea that he
be given a chance. We gave him
4 one-month contract, even though
we thought he was too small and
did not consider him a prospect,
AT the end of the month we
thought II fairer to him to cut him
loose. We were convinced he could
never hope to reach the big
leagues, SO why kid him? In addi-
ton to his pay We gave him $50
to cover his expenses.
Was II customary, we asked, to
hire such hopefuls on a month-to-
month basis? Our vague impress
sion had been that all baseball
contracts ran for at least season.

VIENNA, Oct. 3.-Creation of
artificial grandparents" may be
the solution to the problem OF
mental isolation due to old age,
often caused by outright lone
lineSs.
It has been tried out success
fully here in city housing prof.
ects.
DR.. Hans Hoff, prominent
Vienna psychiatrist, described
the experiment to medical and
social workers from 38 countries
attending the sixth annual con-
ference for Mental Health.
Old folks, he said, feel old only
when they have no contact with
youth. Given a chance to mingle
with youngsters, they soon for
get the years separating the
scooter from the armchair.
Young people like you and
me-" the 56-year-old scientist
continued, "are happy because
they usually are busy and sur
rounded by families and friends.
1t is when we get old and our
children drift away that we lose
our sense of belonging"

Two Boys Admit
5 Purse Snatchings

Two juveniles, arrested at their
homes yesterday after pocket
book snatching, have admitted
a total of five similar crimes and
implicated third youth, police
said.
The arrested pair, each 16
years old, were held on one
charge. The third member of
the gang, a 15-year-old boy, is
expected to be produced at police
headquarters today when all
three will face complainantS for
identification. All of the sus-
poets are colored.
The arrests stemmed from the
snatching of the pocketbook of
Mrs. Thelma Bolton, 33, colored,
of 2100 First street NV, near
her home Thursday.
One of the youths told police
he and his companions were re-
turning from Banneker play
ground, $500 Georgia avenue
NV, when they spotted Mrs.
Belton. The youth, according
to police, admitted grabbing her
handbag and later meeting his
companions. by prearrangement
at his home where they split UP
$27 in loot.
Police said the arrested youths
estimated their total take at $3.50

The children, DR.. Hoff said,
quickly learn that the old lady
or old man next door has more
time than their busy parents and
is more ready to answer questions
or take part in games. Friend
ships soon develop.
"The plan," he explained, was
really designed to benefit old
people threatened by loneliness
which can lead to mental dis
turbances, but it also has many
advantages for working parents
and, of course, for children, too" !"

Joint Chiefs 10 Give
Wilson Estimate on
Forces New Look
By John A. Giles

The Joint Chiefs of Staff are
expected to deliver their long
overdue new look" at the size
and shape of the armed forces to
Secretary of Defense Wilson to-
morrow. Every indication is that
it will call for increases in the
force larger than provided for
this fiscal year.
A top Pentagon official pre-
dicted President Eisenhower
budget message in mid-January
will only carry a one-line eSti-
mate of the military outlay pend
ing completion of a detailed pres
entation.
Budget Director Joseph Dodge
had asked for the Defense De-
partment budget figures by Sep
tember II. Since the budget has
to be predicated on the Joint
Chiefs review and recommended
tionS, Mr.. Wilson replied he
hoped" to have it at an early
date.
The department could rush
out a detailed budget in time for
the Presidents message. How
ever, such a budget might be diff
f1cult to defend before Congress
sional appropriations committees.
1t is now expected that the de-
tailed military spending pro-
gram will be ready for presenta-
ton sometime early in February
The Joint Chiefs are expected
to recommend an Army and Navy
of about the size now in being,
and an Air Force somewhere be-
tween the 120-wing interim
goal set by Gen. Eisenhower for
this year and the 143-wing tar
get of the Truman Administra-
ton.
Approximately 3.5 million men
and women are now in uniform
The administrations interim
Air Force goal was set pending
the Chiefs review. Both Gen
Eisenhower and Mr.. Wilson have
constantly emphasized that it
is not firm figure. Meanwhile,
they state, enough planes are
now on order to equip 143 wings

0verstaffing Abroad
And Plush Living

i Alleged overStaffing OF mill
/ tary installations and headquar-
ters abroad and reports of plush
living by personnel soon will get
a fine going-over by top Penta-
gon officials.
, This was made clear yesterday
by Deputy Secretary of Defense
Roger M. Kyes, who returned
from a 30-day inspection trip
which included stops in Green
land. Iceland, England, Ger
many, Austria, Trieste, Italy,
Greece, Turkey. France and
Spain.
He commented to reporters at
, National Airport he thought
"there are some spots where we
can tighten up" on the number
of military personnel.
/ This was in reply to questions
about recent comment by Sec
retary of Defense Wilson that
1--WE have too many people spread
lall over the world and I want to
Iget some of them back home"
Plush Living Charged.
/ Mr.. Kyes said he had "a num-
lber Of ideas about a lot of
iplaces," but he declined to pin
point the installations or head
quarters. Congress sional COM
mitteeS have complained about
overstaffing and plush living in
Europe.
But Mr.. Kyes found the COM
manders in Europe very aware"
of the problem. He added, "I
think we will have some good
results"
The Pentagon's No. civilian
official, who watched field exer-
cises, said the Army in Europe
showed good combat effective
ness" He also found that the
morale and health of the troops
and their relationships with the
local populace were very good. p"
Statistics show, he said. that
the health of American troops
in Europe is twice as good as
in the United States"

The Observation-Disclosures rate,
he said, is only IA per cent of
the overall Army rate. "Inci-
dents which you might term
crime are exceedingly low .
substantially below the rate Of

country" he added.
There are approximately $780,

in Europe, including the equiva-
lent of six Army divisions in
Germany.
Mr.. Kyes termed the recently
concluded United States-Span-
ish military pact sound
