Big Night by Holman
Chases Durocher's
Gloom Oyer Injuries
BY the Assoeioted Press

Leo Durocher is fast becoming
a firm believer, in the theory
that every cloud has a silver lin
ing. And Bobby Hoffman is one
of the reasons.
The New York Giants man
ager was forced to dig deep into
his inf1eld reserves when Davey
Williams. his preferred choice
for second base, reinjured his
lame back Tuesday night.
Catcher Yves Westrum also was
hurt and the club was in last
place.
Leo switched Daryl Spencer,
a shortstop by trade, from third
base to second and settled for
Hoffman. a utility man used so
infrequently that his name
doesn't appear in many baseball
books, at third. Sal WARS did
the catching.
Holman, batting leadof
against Paul LaPalme at Pitts
burgh last night, made Durocher
look good in the first inning. He
opened with a double and scored.
In the third inning he hit a
home run for the Giants second
tally. He singled in the fifth and
then completed a perfect night
with his second home run, this

LAS VEGAS. New, April 23.-
Ben Hogan came in for bitter
criticism yesterday from his fell
low golf pros.
Friction has been simmering
for days over reports that Hogan
had demanded and been refused
$4,000 for appearing in the
$35, 900 Tournament of Cham
pions which starts here today.
An official source with the
tournament, asking that his
name be withheld, told the AS
sociated Press that Hogan had
asked for the $4,000 through q
third party.
When the sponsors refused,
Hogan sent a telegram saying
he would be unable to play here.
This came after Hogan won the
Masters tournament at Augusta.
Ca, 10 days ago. the source said.

The trouble bubbled to the
surface yesterday when Lloyd

compete in the $4,000 Pan

Fishermen Relief
 Program Fine For Start, Says Bartlett

WASHINGTON, R-Delegate Bartlett Thursday described the relief program announced by Gov. Heintzleman for Alaska's fisher men as a "commendable start"
 But obviously" he added, it will not take care of the immedi- ate need"
 Heintzleman announced Tues day that Secretary of the In terior Mckay has made $25O,O0O available for a public works con- struction program and that the Agriculture Dept. has m a d e surplus foods available for distri- button to the fishermen hard pressed by poor salmon runs.
 In addition, he said President Eisenhower has directed the Fed eral Civil Defense Administration to survey the Alaska situation and give assurance "of any consid- eration which is possible under existing authority of the federal government"
 Bartlett and Henry Benson, territorial Commissioner of Labor criticized the governor last week for his refusal to join with them in an appeal to the President for aid Bartlett and Benson then asked the President Saturday for an appointment but to date have received no reply.
 In commenting the governor, Bartlett expressed hope that the $25O,000 Public Works program could start immediately without the necessity of delaying surveys

All The Sickening Details Of Horror" Of Communist Torture
 In Korea Given By US. Army

} WASHINGTON, R-The Army laid before the world a docu- mented indictment of Commun- ist atrocities in Korea-what it called "all the sickening details of horror" in which probably 6,113 Americans died a tortured death.
 The statistics were not new. But it was the first time the Army gave out grisly details of how captured American GIs were dragged on d death marches, roasted alive, lined up and shot.
 What survivors had to say was grim reading-"One of the boys had no head; it seemed to have been mashed or beaten and was laying all over the road '. The other GI had his eyes gouged out, nothing remained where his eyes were except nOleS.
 The charts and text indicated most of the atrocities occurred in the first year of the war, when the Communists invaded South Korea and overran American and Republic of Korea troops. There was a smaller upsurge of the graph line when the Chinese en- tered the war and hurled Allied forces southward from the region of the Yalu River.
 To the Chinese were charged 27.5 per cent of the war crimes alleged. The North Korean Reds, who had only a fraction as many troops in the field as Communist China, were blamed as the great CT barbarians.
 The Army said: "It is an inter esting fact that the North Korean peoples army slaughtered most civilians during September, 1850. Of these, 14,6O2 or 84.6 per cent were slain in the last four days of the month"
 That included the "Taejon massacre" where the Reds were said to have killed the occupants of the South Korean city in patches of hundreds at a time among them AZ Americans.
