PHOENIX, Ariz R-News that
the Chicago White Sox have sched-
uled no exhibition games out this
way next spring and are prepar-
ing to move their training camp
to Tampa has cast some gloom
over the Arizona boosters who had
foreSeen the day when this state
would rival Florida in the number
Of clubs soaking up its sun.
Pittsburgh pulled out of the West
this spring, and with the Sox gone
only four teams win remain--the
New York Giants, Cleveland and
Chicago Cubs in this vicinity and
the st. Louis Browns at San Ber-
nardino in California. The Browns
have not signed to return to 'San
BerdOo," but are expected to.
There will be some difficulty in
rounding out full exhibition sched-
ule for the four remaining clubs
unless the Browns come TO Ariz-

Union officials said members
will meet Monday to latify the
new agreement to end the Al
day-old dispute.
Tool-and-die workers now get
an average pay of $2.78 an hour.
The dispute has hampered
auto nlanufao turers in tooling
for 1854 model cars. More than
10 tool-and-die plants have been
closed.
Chrysler Corp. already had
laid off 1900 employees and de-
layed production dates of its
1854 DE Soto and Chrysler
models.
Union officials said an agree
ment also had been reached on
life, health and accident insur-

been worked out with the Auto

YugOs|avia and Bulgaria
Agree on Border Project
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, July
11.-After five years at bitter
odds, independent Yugoslavia
and Russian-dominated Bulgaria
reached agreement today on a
move to settle border differences
which have produced bloodshed,
gunf1re, sabotage and espionage.
The Yugoslay Foreign Office
reported over Belgrade radio
that Bulgaria had agreed to a
month-old suggestion by this
country to set up a joint COM
mission for studying the causes
Of the frontier incidents and at
tempting to find a solution.
1t marked the second case of
its sort in relation between Pres
ident Tito's government and the
Soviet satellite states. On June
80 Romania agreed also to a
YugoSlav proposal for formation
Of a joint commission to inquire
into similar incidents.
It seems too early to Judge
whether the agreements on the
border incident investigating
commission are a solid sign of
improved relations between
Yugoslavia and its one-tinle
Coninform partners, who parted
company in 1948.

BY the Asseeiaied Press

DETROIT, July 1.-THE Air
Force disclosed today that its
four r-story-high RB-36 planes
have been jamming Russian ra-
dar screens as a fairly routine
operation.
Air Force spokesmen said that
while flying between England and
the Azores, the planes commonly
probe the Russian radar screen,
jam the defense into a maze of
confusion and wheel quickly
away.
When air officials at the In
ternational Aviation Exposition
at Wayne County Airport were
asked If the Russians were aware
of the tests. they answered Ger
tainly."
A modified, 180-ton B-36, the
new radar buster, is equipped
with electronic equipment ca
pable Of breaking down any ma
tion's radar defenses, including
our own, according to the Air
Force.
The Air Force explained that
the function of the plane is pri-
marily as a bomber escort or
path-clearer. somewhat like the
World War II night-flying Path
finder. It jerks apart the radar
screen and holds it open to let
the bomber fleet through.
One of the RB-36s was on dis
play at the air show today. It
was kept under heavy guard
although all secret devices had
been removed before the $4,000
spectators got a look at it.

'Get-Together' Party
For Defense Officials
SET for Quantico

Plans were being whipped into
shape yesterday for Secretary Of
Defense Wilson's old-fashioned
"set acquainted" party for 116
top leaders Of the military estab-
lishment at Quantico, Va, July
1896.
Orders went out to 116 civilian
ofdcials and uniformed officers
1t the Pentagon and from
throughout the country to remain
on the scene except for q real
emergency. The Marine Corps
will be host-by order.
From all indications the ses-
Sions will be something like q
civic club convention or a
General Motors sales executive
party" as it is being referred to
ut the Pentagon.
Name Plates Required.
Each Of those attending, from
Mr.. Wilson and Gen. Omar N.
Bradley down to the lowest rank
ing two-star admiral and gen.
0ral or civilian equivalent, will
be required to wear name plates
throughout the meeting.
ut may seem silly or absurd,
] know" explained Andrew
Berding, Mr.. Wilson's public in
formation assistant, "but many
Of the officials sitting almost
side by side in the Pentagon
don't know one another or one
another's ideas"
The civilian secretaries and
military chiefs of the Army, Navy
and Air Force will make short
presentations explaining what
they are doing, what they have
in mind for the future and their
problems.
There will be speeches by Mr..
Wilson, Gen. Bradley and Ad-
miral Arthur w. Radford, who
succeeds Gen. Bradley as chair
man of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff
next month. But the schedule
for the four-day gathering is
weighted on the side Of recrea-
tion. Quantico offers golf, sailing,
swimming and some Indifferent
fishing.
Poll for Recreation.
Accompanying the letter which
went to the chosen 116-who in
cidentally will pay for board and
keep just like ordinary Marine
Corps oficers-was a card asking
their preference as to recreation.
Golfing and fishing were listed
along with lust sitting under
one Of Quantico's better shade
trees" At last report the latter
was leading the poll.
But Mr.. Wilson is determined
not to let old cronies just sit
around together under the shade
Of a tree.
To make sure that old and new
hands get acquainted, each guest
will be required to make a blind
selection of a seat number from
q thoroughly jumbled" basket
for each meal.

Informal Shirts Barred

Arlington policemen will not
be attired in open-necked, short

believe the informality would be
ahead Of the times.

yesterday rejected the proposal
a suggestion of the County Police
Beneficiary Association-on the
grounds it would establish an un-
desirable precedent. Takoma

the total of the States more than

1T was Korea that made the
Army realize the value of the Ma

been trimmed down. The Ma

The Army borrowed our AA

up to get the experienced men
they needed. There went our
