Observation-Disclosures Says
.New Men Make His Job Easy
By Bob Hanson

Pepco Barry, manager OF the
Heurich Brewers, believes the
addition of several new players
has done much to give the team
the Industrial League cham
pionShip this season and a
chance at it's second straight city
series title, starting September
Red Murphy at second base.
Roy Mcneil at third and Jim
Francis and Bobby Horan in
the outfeld have helped to put
us in the series with their hit
ting" Barry said. And with
pitchers like Brother Love.
Charley Hiden and Tom john
son it makes it pretty easy for a
manager"
Final league statistics back up
Barry's words. Francis, last
years league batting champion,
finished the season with a 1898
average, fourth best. Until the
last three weeks of the season
he was the leader. Mcneil was
sixth with .387, Murphy ninth
with $40 and Horan 18th with
1903. Horan, incidentally, played
FOR Silver Hill, league champions
last year, but didn't hit well. He
was released and hooked on with
the Brewers this year.
Francis and Mcneil were tied
with the most doubles, five, and
both were second in the league
in hits with "a. Love and Hiden
both went through the season
undefeated, the former with a
60 record and Hiden 40. john
son, big Negro right-hander who
played in the Metro League last
year, had a 80 record, mostly in
relief.
Rates '49 Team Best.
After six years as. manager of
the Brewers, the 46-year-old
Pepco considers the 1949 team
as the best. That year his team
won the league and city cham
pionship and then was host team
in the All-American Amateur
Baseball Association tournament
held in Griffith Stadium. The
Brewers won the tournament to
make a clean sweep of amateur
baseball in the East.
Barry took over as manager
from Ralph Bennie in 1947 and
continued to play in the outfield
until his retirement as an active
player in 1851. He thus ended
career as a player that began

I was never a power hitter, just
slapped away, so a different grip
didn't matter"
Most any other player would
have hung up his spikes follow
ing such an accident, but Barry's
love of the game was too strong
to let something like that stop
him from playing. The COM
petitive spirit he showed on the
sandlots for so many years ap-
parently has rubbed off to some
extent on his players, judging
from the success he has had as
manager,

couraging message that in the
end all Humans are destined for
defeat, the gallows and decay.
In our peregrinations over the
centuries we Jews encountered
numerous Humans. That we have
survived them is not only a tri-
butte to our spiritual and intellec-
tual vitality but the confirmation
of a great faith and truism-the
vulnerability Of hamanism to
courageous resistance.
The Book of Esther tells the
story of the first Hannah. Unfor-
tunately this breed has multiplied
all too excessively since then, and
today the modern Humans are
striving to emulate the original
in purpose as wen as in method.
We have abiding faith, however,
that the modern Humans will
meet the same fate as their proto-
type whose inglorious end is so
wildly described in the Book of
Esther.

concerned solely with what we
may term an 'unprovoked' breach
of the armistice by the Com

tify the words of warning which
we agreed to nearly two years

The statement was designed
to clarity the British position

"The Labor Party deplores the
fact that the government avoided
the opportunity of giving an
indication of the existence of
the declaration and it's contents
in the debates on the Korean
situation in Parliament before
the recess Con July 81 and
rejects any implication of COM

Seckinger Will Ask
1855 Budget Funds
For Addicts' Clinic
Offers Three-Purt
PIun to RehobiIitute
Drug Habit Victims
By Don O'ConneII

District Health Director Dan
iel L. Seckinger will ask for
money in the 1855 District
budget to start a three stage
program for the care of drug
addicts here, it was learned to-
day.
After a modest beginning, DR..
Seckinger hopes the program
can be developed to provide three
services: Cd prevention of ad-
diction through clinic pro-
gram, (2) hospital care (drug
WithdrawaD and 80 rehabilita-
tion care following hospital
treatment.
Details have not been worked
out. But DR.. Seckinger has told
Commissioner Renah F. Cam
alier he intends to submit esti-
mates in his 1855 budget request
for the new program.
Bill Failed in Senate.
Disclosure of the plan follows
failure of a laSt-ditch Capitol
Hill attempt for the commit
ment of a limited number of
District a6dicts to Federal hos
pitalS at Lexington (Ky.) and
Fort Worth. A measure author
lzing such commitment was
passed by the House with Budget
Bureau and Health, Education
and Welfare Department bless
ingS, but failed in the Senate.
A new drive for use of the
Federal hospitals undoubtedly
will get a strong push when
Congress reconvenes. Meanwhile,
DR.. Seckinger's proposal contem-
plates a permanent attack on
the drug addiction problem here.
The health director has said
all along there were no facili-
ties at the District General Hos
pital (Gallinger) to deal with ad-
diets on anything more than a
temporary basis. He said re-
striction of the program to hos
pital care would be only a piece
meal attack on the problem.
Muirkirk Site Studied.
His present idea, he said, was
that the hospital, or withdrawal,
program would conf1ne addicts
for about two weeks. He said
the District General Hospital
could take about 16 cases at a
time. Afterwards, the patients
would be moved to the proposed
rehabilitation center.
Among possible sites for the
rehabilitation center, DR.. Seckin-
ger is particularly interested in
District property at Muirkirk,
Md. Part of the property is
planned as a tree nursery by
John Batson, superintendent of
trees and parks. DR.. Seckinger
said. The two officials have dis
cussed the possibility of using
it jointly. in which the rehabili-
tation patients could do some of
the nursery work.
The health director has esti-
mated the proposed clinic would
cost about $30,190 a year for
personnel. His estimate for al
terations and personnel at the
hospital amounts to $116,735.
