NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Flushed
with his successful innovation
last year, Manager Lou Boudreau
of the Boston Red Sox will
resume the special pertaining
school for farm hands next
month with the hopes of coming
up with another Dick Gernert,
Ted Lepcio or Faye Throneberry
One Of the youngsters sure to
be invited to that special class,
if he hasn't been already. is
Harry Agganis, football star of
Boston University who last
month was given a 100000 bonus
to sign.
Agganis is lefthanded-hit-
ting first baseman. but may be
taught the finer points Of out
fielding. There are two very good
reasons for that. Number / is
that in Gernert, the Red So1
have a young first sacker who
led all mates last year with 1S
home runs and 81 runs batted in,
The other reason is that Boston
is shy Of good outfielders.
Gernert'S Power Needed.
In any event, the Red Sox car
i'll afford to bench Gernert, a
long hitting highlander, in
favor of AgganiS, even If Harry
can make the grade in one jump
from the college campus. Ger
merit is particularly valuable al
Fenway Park, where he takes
advantage of the short leftfield
fence.
Agganis batted 1872 and hit
four home runs. four doubles and
three triples IN college BAH last
year. In 1860. just before he got
out Of the MaCiI1es, he hit .341

though an injury forced Gau-
dreau out of football last year,
when it was indicated that he
might never play again.
Young Bidwill was fullback on
the Georgetown Prep eleven
that outlasted Loyola, 1881,
several years ago, and remem-
bered Gaudreau as Loyola's S long
passing quarterback.
Every time I looked up I saw
that ball sailing over my head

Apparently he decided it would
do no harm to take Gaudreau as
the Cards 30th choice, and
might do some good if the Bal

Unlike a year ago, when only
IL Of their 30 draftees reported
to training camp for one reason
or another, the Philadelphia
Eagles expect to have more than
20 on hand in '53. At elast 20
OF their choices are either 4-F
or married men with dependents.
One OF Coach Jim Trimble's
prize catches may be Willie Ir-
win, 6 foot l, 215-pound offen-
sive halfback from Florida
A. & M. College who made the
Negro All-American. The Eagles
also got Eddie Bell, Penn's great
Negro end. but Irwin is supposed
to be good enough to chase Bell
out OF an offensive position onto
defense. If that's true, Trimble
really got an end.
Coach Buck Shaw of the
Forty Miners didn't reveal any
undue alarm over Quarterback
frankie Albert's retirement in
his selections. His next choice
after Babcock was End Tom
Stolhandske of Texas, and then
came Center George Morris of
Georgia Tech and Fullback Ed
Fullerton of Maryland.
San Francisco could do busi-
ness with Steve Owen of the New
York Giants if an emergency
arises. Owen went to the meet
ing to get one signal-caller to
go with Charlie Conerly and

Riders, Still Unbeafen
After Gonzaga Scare,

Roosevelt still has one Of the
two unbeaten basketball outfits
in the area today, but it was hard
to believe after watching a poor
ly rated Gonzaga team man
handle the Riders yesterday be-
fore losing in overtime. 57-54, at

Gonzaga apparently had the
game tucked away with a 54-49
lead and less than a minute to
play. But Bill Mccormack.
Roosevelt substitute, made a free
throw. Dick Preziotti added two
more, and then the Riders scor-
ing ace, Phil Perlo, drove through
for a layup to tie the score Just
before the final buzzer. Perlo
added another goal in the first
minute Of overtime, Captain Bill
Wright sank a free throw, and
then Roosevelt grabbed the ball
and ran out the clock.
In spite of an unlucky first
half and a worse third quarter,
Perlo once again wound up as
the Riders high man with 81
points on seven goals and seven
free throws. Bill Wright was
next with II. Tucker Dunn led
Gonzaga with IA points, 10 of
these coming in the wild fourth
period, and Jim Kileen was next
with 10. The score at the half
was 1928, Roosevelt.

Korean Hot Wor-U N Cold NcCony-Asfor Word War

to call on Bernard Baruch for
the deflnitive word.
In World Wars / and II and
the Korean war Mr.. Baruch
was q key adviser on controls.
He had his say again last
week. He told the Senate
Banking and Currency Com
mittee that q controls agency
should be kept ready for the
outbreak of sudden total war.
To start from scratch on con-
trolls when the bombs started
to drop would be too late, he
said.
The day after Mr.. Baruch
testified an administration
spokesman gave Congress a
different point Of view. Arthur
s. Flemming. acting director
Of defense mobilization, told
the committee that q standby
agency would be Impractical.
It could not anticipate the
nature Of q future war nor the
condition Of the country's
economy when the war broke
out. Therefore the agency
could not have an efhcient
program ready.
Mr.. Flemming offered two
alternative proposals:
Let the whole thing ride.
provided Congress thought it
could write an emergency law
say in about 10 days-im-
mediately after the outbreak
Of an about war.
Or, give the President au-
thority to freeze the Nations
economy for 80 days on out
break Of war. During the
freeze period, Congress could
write comprehensive laws.
During the past four weeks
of hearings, the committee has
listened to one other point Of
view. Business groups, with few
exceptions, have asked that
controls simply be allowed to
die without substitution Of
standby or emergency laws.
There appeared to be no
general agreement in Congress
on any Of the approaches to
the problem. But on past form
alone, some version of the
Baruch proposal seemed the
likely winner.

United States was defeated Al
to 5 (the Soviet bloc) with IA
abStentions (Arab-Asian ma

said there was some merit in
both arguments.
Germ Warfare. The United
States asked that an impair
tial, international commission
be set up to investigate Com
munist charges that the
United States has used germ
warfare in the Far East. The
American delegation demand
ed that the issue be settled
once and for all.
The Soviet Union has vetoed
such a demand in the past and
is expected to veto this one.
The veto, however, makes ex-
cellent propaganda for the
West. for if Russia really had
a case, she presumably would
welcome an investigation.

Controls

EARLIER THIS YEAR Har-
II ry s. Truman made two
important statements: He
warned the Nation that If
price controls were removed
completely, imitation would re-
suit; and he revealed the pur-
chase of a Chrysler New York
er de luxe sedan.
Last week Mr.. Humans
Judgment was proved some
what wrong. Price controls
were gone, but the cost Of liv-
ing held steady; and the car
he had bought on February II
was reduced in price from
1924, fob. Detroit. to $3.057

of $50 guests at a party in the
Georgetown home of Senator
Taft of Ohio. Across a
crowded room she spotted
Senator Mccarthy taking a
drink. Lady Aston remarked
quietly that it was too bad the
drink wasn't poison. Return
ing cattiness for acerbity, Joe
Mccarthy said he had been
told that some mice, kindly
old lady" had made such a re-
mark. but that he didn't hear
her make it.
There the matter lay over
night, and-every one supposed
there it would lie forever.
But the editor of the Ashland
(Wis.) Daily Press read into
the lady's remark a threat to
the peace and good order of
the Republic. He urged that
she be seized for Indictment to

ing).
In response to the Wiscon-

broken no law by wishing
aloud that there was poison in
Joe McCarthy's drink. BY the
same token, she probably
skirted felony on Friday at q

when, plunging a knife into q

present, Lets pretend it's Nc

U. N. Skirmishes

THE SEVENTH SESSION
i of the United Nations
General Assembly continued
to act formally on resolutions
ostensibly settling cold war
issues, but actually useful
only in the propaganda battle,
The major skirmishes were:
Disarmament. The question
was on continuance Of the
year-old commission on dis
armament. The West wanted
the work to 60 on. The
Soviet bloc wanted the group
to study only the Russian dis
armament plan-which would
not require international in
spection and which would
leave Russia with a large
army and the United States
with no atom bomb.
Both sides accused the other
Of blocking disarmament.
The cold-war neutralS, whom
both blocs are trying to i'm
press-said they were not sat
isf1ed with efforts on either
side but were hopeful for
progress under the new Amer
lean and Russian regimes.
The commission study was
continued on a vote of so to
5 (the Soviet bloc) with 5 alb
StentionS (Arab-Asian coun-
trieS).
Espionage. Czechoslovakia
accused the United States of
appropriating 500 million to
finance spying and subversion
in the Peoples Democracies.
The foreign aid act of 1851
had set up a fund of this size
to aid selected persons who
are residing in or escapes
from" the Iron Curtain ma
tons. The money would be
used either to form such per-
sons into elements of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization or for other pur-
poses :" to be determined
by the President.
That, said the Czechs, was
obviously a h-coluYnn fund.
The United States replied that
the money was being used to
help escapes from Commu-
mist tyranny-and further
more, il any one is being sub
versive in Europe it's the

THE TRUCE shack at Pan

THE TRUCE shack at Pan
i munjom has been gather
ing dust since September. Last
week, however. the Commu-
nists appeared ready to sweep
out the shack and start talk
ing again. The Reds made
two offers: To work out an
exchange Of sick and wounded
prisoners; to resume general
truce negotiations.
The first offer actually was
in reply to an exchange pro-
posal made February 20 by
Gen Mark Clark. The second
offer did not represent a
change Of mind, as the Reds
have insisted all along it was
the United Nations negotiatorS
who broke of the talks.
But taken in the context of
the worldwide Communist
peace offensive, the proposals
in Korea seemed at least worth
listening to. Gen. Clark said
he would study the offers both
for opportunities and for
booby-trapS.
Meanwhile, the Reds stepped
up military pressure on the
u NJ troops.
