Burchett also released the fol-
lowing text of a statement which
he said all the Americans signed
at Kaesong last Wednesday.
"We fully realize that this is a
momentous step that we are tax
ing. Therefore it was only after
much thought and deliberat ton
that we made our decision," the
statement said.
"Our staying behind does not
change the fact that we are Amer
leans. We love our country and
our people. Therefore we love
personal freedom. Our greatest
concern is to fight for peace and
freedom, not only for ourselves
but for the American people and
the people Of the world.
Unfortunately under present
day conditions in America, the
voice of those who speak out for
peace and freedom are rapidly be-
ing silenced, while the voices which
shout the loudest and get the most
publicity are those of Mccarthy.
Sen. Joseph Mccarthy of Wiscon-
sin, the book burners and those
who demand preventive wars
eve do not intend to give the
American government a chance of
silencing our voices too"
The statement said they had
read a recent statement by Gen.
Mark Clark, u. N. commander,
that if he could communicate with
them he would remind us of the
American tradition of freedom for
which we fought before we were
captured"
at is not for Mark Clark to re-
mind us of our tradition" the
statement said. "The murder of
the Rosenbergs-Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg-who were electrocuted
as atom spies; the legal lynching
of Willie MCGEE /and dozens of
other Negroes since we have been
prisoners, are the best comments
we can make to Clark's statement"

iHoddix, 20-Gone Winner,
Is Second to Dodger Star J
BY the Assoeiaied Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.ZJames
(Junior) Gillian. who took over
second base for the Dodgers last
spring and handled the job like
a veteran, was named the Ma
tional League rookie Of the year
today.
The 24-man selection commit
tee of the Baseball Writer'S
Association gave the 25-year-old
native of Nashville, Tenn, II
votes, nearly three times that Of
his closest rival, Harvey Haddix.
the Cardinals southpaw pitcher.
Haddix received four votes.
Gillian, most valuable player
in the international League in
1852 while with Montreal, but
not even carried on the Dodgers
preseason roster, batted .278 in
ISL games. He drove in So runs
and had six homers, II triples
and 81 doubles. His II triples
led the league.
First Infielder Since Dark.
The Dodger second baseman
is the second infielder to win
the rookie honors since the
award was started by the writer's
in 1948. Alvin Dark, Giants
shortstop, won the first year
while playing for the Boston
Braves and was followed by Don
Newcombe. Dodger pitcher; Sam
Jethroe, Braves outf1elder; Will
lie Mays. Giants outf1elder, and
Joe Black. Brooklyn pitcher.
Haddix, who compiled a 20-9
record for the Cardinals, received
one more vote than his third
base teammate, Ray Jablonski,
who hit 81 homers and drove in
112 runs while batting 1858. Bill
Bruton of the Milwaukee Braves,
who led the league in stolen
bases with 26, and Rip Repulski,
Cardinal outflelder, who hit .275,
got two each.
The other two votes were di-
vided between two Cincinnati
players-Fred Baczewski, south
paw pitcher with an liza record,
and Jim Greengrass, outfielder,
who hit .285, slammed 20 homers
and drove in 100 runs.
Moved Robinson Out.
Gilliam'S play in the Dodgers
camp last spring caused much
speculation about the future of
veteran Jackie Robinson, but
Manager Chuck Dresser settled
that by converting Robinson into
a leftfielder. The move paid off
in two ways. The Dodgers got

Associated Press Sports Writer

MELBOURNE, Dec. 23.-Our
prediction is the United States
will win back the Davis Cup next
week-three matches to two.
Tony Trabert should take both
his singles assignments and we
expect the third point to come
from Vic Seixas' victory over
Lewis Hoad
On form, the doubles and one
other singles must be conceded
to the Australians, although
America may pull a surprise in
the tandem match.
These observations are based
on a months scrutiny of the
rival teams in practice and in
preliminary tournament and in
terzone competition.
Trabert in Top Shape.
Trabert, who came here from
his honeymoon, has regained his
touch in practice sessions that
makes him perhaps the best
amateur tennis player in the
world.
He was flabby and out of shape
when he carried Hoad to four
sets and almost won the match
in the New South Wales semi
finals at Sydney. He also was
in poor condition when he bowed
to Rex Hartwig in the Victorian
tournament here.
But now Trabert is lean and
hard and hitting the ball like
an unbeatable champion. He is
keen, eager and seemingly can
run all day.
Furthermore, he hasn't reached
his playing peak and under the
present time schedule he should
hit it about next Monday, when
the first singles matches will be
played at Kooyong.
Seixas Key to Success.
The key to American success
continues to be Seixas, who suf-
fered a series of physical and
mental setbacks, preventing him
from attaining the form that
won him the Wimbledon cham
pionShip
Yet, he has shown in the past
he can recover his sensitive
touch as easily as he can lose it.
We expect him to hit it before
next Monday.
Tennis is a game which closely
follows form and SeixaS has the

whom he's beaten six times in
a row. This year, Seixas has de-
feated Hoad four times, at VIM

on the Pacific Coast.
BY the reverse token, Austria
las young Ken Rosewall has
line-splitting ground strokes to
beat Seixas and has done it on
the last six occasions they have
met.
Could Take 20 Lead.
If the opening draw sends
Seixas against Hoad and Ira
bert against Rosewall, we expect
the United States to take a
20 lead.
That could put the pressure
on the teen-age Aussies and re-
suit in a rout for America.
Another important point we
consider in the Americans favor
is their superior experience in
Davis Cup competition, which
applies pressure and produces
stomach butterflies missing in
ordinary tournament play. You're
playing for your country instead

ties are tremendous.
