HAVANA, Mar. 31.-Manager
Fred Haney. by his own admis-
sion, has only two big league
ball players. aside from his bat
terymen. but he insisted today
his Pittsburgh Pirates will be q
better club than last year.
"They couldn't possibly be
worse" he added with q laugh
''That was the sorriest looking
ball club that was ever put to-
gether. Why. the rest of the
league considered them joke
They weren't good enough to
play Triple-A ball."
Asked about this year, Haney
pondered for a moment before
saying:
"Well, we're going to be re-
spectacle. You can bet on that
We're not going to be the butt
Of any jokes.
I'm not saying we're going to
challenge any Of the leaders, u
he added. I'VE probably won't
finish in the first division. And
we might even finish last. But
we won't be any pushovers
We're going to give these second
division clubs a helluva battle
before we're through.
Set at Two Positions.
Haney said right now he was
sure of only two positions. Ralph
Kiner definitely is the leftfielder
and Danny O'Connell is the Sec
ond baseman. The other five
infield and outf1eld positions are
up for grabs.
The most impressive looking
rockies are Outf1elders Felipe
Montemayor and Frank Thomas
Montemayor is q tall, rangy 25-
year-old Cuban. He can run
field and hit q long ball. He has
trouble hitting the curve ball
but that's a fault common ir
many big leaguers.
Thomas. the slugging sensa.
ton Of the Southern Association
last year. can do everything but
throw. He is hampered by 9
sore arm. Rookie Carlos Berniel
has shown flashes of speed aht
field ability. Cal Abrams i.
nursing a bad back.
| Haney, a pleasant, down-to-
earth and utterly frank little
guy, thinks Pittsburgh's pitching
will surprise q lot Of folks" but

was going to be a struggle, but
I still took the job.
This is a long-range propo-
sition. What I'm trying to do
is weave in as many youngsters
as I can. I can probably win
more games by using the vet
Grams, but where will that get
us? Well be no better than
we were last year.
Don't expect much this year.
After all, we finished % games
behind seventh in 1852. You just
can't change a club overnight.
It's not in the books.
"All I will promise is that the
Pittsburgh club won't be a joke
this year. Nobody is going to
lay down on this ball club. Yes,
sir, we're going to be respect
able"

Americans Refuse
To Listen to Last
Minute Appeals

PANMUNJOM, lR - Time ran
out at midnight Wednesday on
efforts to change the minds of %
American war prisoners who stay
ed with the Communists.
The 80 day period for explana-
tons to war prisoners expired
hours after the Americans and
other pro Red captives chanted
songs, shouted and linked arms
in wild dance to drown out last
minute broadcast appeals to re-
turn home.
An Indian spokesman said that
as midnight passed there was no
request for repatriation from pri-
soners in the pro-Red north camp.
The Communists, who have
pressed repeatedly for an extern
sion of the explanation period,
asked to interview more Chinese
prisoners from the anti-Commuu-
ist south camp Thursday.
But the Neutral Nations Repat-
ration Commission ruled that the
explanations had ended.
The Commission approved re
quest from the pro Communist
Americans and the Briton to meet
Allied and Red news correspond
ents inside their compound Thurs
day.
Under terms of the armistice all
unrepatriated war prisoners are
to be held in the neutral zone
until Jan. % when they are to be
released as civilians. During the
the 30-day period they can still
ask for repatriation.
The Communists want the pri-
soners kept in custody until a
peace conference decides their
fate, but the Allies have refused
to agree.

Arrives In Korea
Army Hospitals

SEOUL, RI-The smiling, white
haired man moved slowly down
the rows Of beds, stopping at each
to shake hands and chat for a few
moments with the patients in the
Allied Army hospital.
Francis Cardinal Spellman had
begun his third consecutive Christ
mas visit to United Nations troops

The cardinal, archbishop Of New

cigarettes and cards inscribed: "In
prayerful remembrance of Christ
mas shared together in Korea"

South Sen. Hints
Filibuster Against
Hawaii Statehood

WASHINGTON, Up Sen. East
land D-Miss) limited Tuesday at a
Southern filibuster against Hawaii
statehood legislation.
Declaring his opposition to the
proposal, Eastland said:
ct may be necessary to talk for
days and this the South must do"
He said in a statement released
by his office that he understands
the administration plans to- bring
the Hawaiian statehood issue up
for early consideration in the Sen
ate in the session opening Jan. 6.
Eastland's statement followed
by a day announcement of Sen.
Long O-La) that he is ready to
support Hawaii's bid for state
hood. Long is a member of the
Senate Interior Committee, which
voted 81 to tie together Hawaiian
and Alaskan statehood bills.
Eastland said in his statement
today that admission Of Hawaii
would mean two senators would
be elected there and this would
cause grave trouble in this coun-
try"
''There would be two votes for
socialized medicine" he said, "two
votes for the government owner
ship of industry; two votes against
all racial segregation, and two
votes against the South on all
social matters"

Mother Hears
From Missing
British Diplomat

LONDON, pa Christmas let
Ter in the handwriting of Guy
Burgess, British diplomat who
vanished 21a years ago, was deliv
cred at his mothers home Wed
nesday.
She said it was the first real
evidence that her son is still alive
Burgess and his foreign office
colleague, Donald MacLean, an
American affairs expert, disap-
peared on May 25, 1851. There has
been wide speculation that they
fled to the east to help the Com
munist world in its cold war
against the west.
Burgess mother, Mrs. Evelyn
Bassett, speaking from her apart
ment near Piccadilly Circus, said
she was "absolutely certain" her
son wrote the letter signed in his
name.
"It is a wonderful Christmas
present." she said. cit is the first
real sign we have had that he is
still alive"
Contents Of the letter were not
published.
The penned date of the message
was simply November. It was
postmarked Monday night, how
ever, and in the donkvard area Of
London.
The fact that it was posted in
a dockyard area suggested pos
sibility that Burgess, if actually
in an iron curtain country, sent
the letter to England in the care
of a seaman, who dropped it in
a local mailbox.
The disappearance of Burgess
and MacLean touched off the
most intensive manhunt in recent
European history.

US. Examining
Soviet Acceptance
Of Atomic Talks

WASHINGTON, Up - t h e
United States probably will send
Russia a new note soon welcom-
ing its avowed agreement to atom
ic talks and suggesting ways to
get them started.
Top officials, who are still
going over Moscow's message
with magnifying glass, have yet
to decide precisely how this coun-
try should proceed. Some author
tiles believe an exchange through
normal diplomatic channels will
be undertaken.
However, such planning is go
ing forward in the State Depart
ment and Atomic Energy Com
mission on the assumption that
secret talks among the world
atomic powers will open up under
the sponsorship of the United Ma
tons Disarmament Commission in
late January - about month
away.
A preliminary exchange of
views which could be carried on
by ambassadors, or perhaps by
Secretary of State Dulles and For
eign Minister Molotov at the prof.
ected Berlin conference, might
serve to clear the air of misunder-
standings if any exist, officials
said.
The Russian note conditionally
agreeing to talks said President
Eisenhower's proposal for an in
ternational atomic energy pool for
peaceful purposes needed clarifi-
cation - apparently on the point
of what the president would do
about weapons control.
Dulles said yesterday the world
might see recession of the hor-
ror of atomic warfare" in 1854 as
result Of Americas initiative
in reviving atomic talks and Rus
sian agreement to participate.

Living Costs Decline In
November For First
Time Since February

WASHINGTON, Up The gov
eminent reported today that living
costs declined in November, re-
versing a steady eight months adj
vance to record levels.
The index, compiled by the Blu
reau of Labor Statistics, declined
three-tenthS of one per cent to
lis per cent Of the 1947-49 aver
age.
1t was the first drop since Feb
ruary, and indicated some stabil-
izing of the economy.
The index decline knocks about
100000 railroad employees out Of
the penny-an-hour wage increase
they would have received had the
index stayed at its October figure.
The Labor Statistics commits
sioner said he had advance in
dications that food prices are ad-
vancing, mainly pork prices. He
said this may prevent a further
living cost decline for December
when the bureau reports the De-
cember living cost level late next
month.
