Kiner and Hickey Due
For More Talks After
Star Accepts Terms
By the Associated Press

One Of baseball's master minds,
Branch Hickey of the Pitts
burgh Pirates, and the games
highest-paid outfielder. Ralph
Kiner. have traded places in
their tug of war over Kiner's
1853 salary.
Kiner, the 800. 1000 a year
home run slugger who has been
holding out, has agreed to terms
and has accepted an offer Hickey
made a while back. Kiner's
salary this season will be about
$76,500, semiofhcial sources say.
But Hickey. down in his
Havana spring training bailiwick,
says he hasn't received the let
ter Kiner sent and knows Moth
ing about the big outfielder
coming to terms. Hickey said
yesterday the situation may re-
quire further negotiation.
Agrees on Re-NegOtiatiOn.
In Palm Springs, where Kiner
maintains his winter home, he
seconded Rickey's remark about
re-negotiating.
Kiner said he has not received
letter which. newspapers re-
ported. Hickey said he dispatched
to Kiner. ordering him to report
to Havana by March Z.
"All 1 know about that letter
is what I've read in the news
papers," he said. Anyhow, I've
already accepted the exact terms
offered me by Mr.. Hickey when
we conferred in Hollywood Feb
ruary Is. I air-mailed him to
that effect. That means a
straight one-year contract with
no bonus clauses of any sort.
1T means a pretty good cut in
salary. And it means I'll be in
Havana on March Is. On the
strength Of that proposed start
ing date I made several commit
ments from which I can't back
out"
Kiner says he doesn't know
whether hickey is still agreeable,
"but I'm waiting to hear from
him, and if he has changed his
mind I guess we'll have to re-
negotiate"
May Work With Seattle.
Klner said also that if he
doesn't hear from Hickey by
Monday he'll start working out
with the Seattle club of the Pa
cific Coast League here. He said
he can't go to Cuba until he signs
a contract, the club sends him
transportation, he gets vac
cinated and closes up his home.
Concerning a possible trade at
this late date. Kiner said he
thought he'd play with the Pr
rates this season. and that suits
me, because I like our new man
ager, Fred Haney. and the peo-
pie I have known so long in
Pittsburgh"
Kiner. who joined the Pirates
in 1916, hit 81 homers last sea-
son and has either led or tied the
National League every year in
homers with the Pirates. His
best season was 1949, when he
hit 81.
Also still apart on terms are
Shortstop Alvin Dark and the
New York Giants. President
Horace Stoneham of the Giants
said at Phoenix, Ariz.:
ALVIN has received a raise
every year since he's been with
U.s." Dark is believed to be seek
ing a $4,000 contract.
With most of the regulars due
in camp tomorrow, the holdouts
are gradually coming into line.
Those who agreed to terms
yesterday were Pitcher Mike
Garcia of Cleveland, Eddie Yost,
Washington, and Pitcher Lew
Burdette of the Boston Braves.

In BIG Seven Games

KANSAS CITY, Feb. % (P.-
Big Seven Conference athletes
already have shattered three
records in their annual indoor
track meet and more records
are expected to topple in the
finals tonight.
Most likely to post new marks
are Thane Baker of Kansas
State, in the 60-yard dash and
Yves Santee of Kansas, in the
mile. Both rang the bell with
outstanding performances in
last nights preliminaries.
Baker. 1852 Olympic sprinter

in the semif1nals. The old record
was 49.3-by Olahoma's Bill

line service for many of our
customers does not constitute
a financial advantage for the
Telephone Company. 1t does
help us provide service for
more people while we con-
tinue urefforts to give every
one the kind of service he
wants, when and where he
wants it. Party line service
requires substantially the
same amount Of central Office
equipment and on-property
facilities needed for a private
line. We realize that it is in-
adequate for some users and
presents problems for both
the customer and the COM
pany. Over 10000 customers
this year have been furnished
higher grades of service.
What Is Being Done
to Provide Telephone
Service for Those Who
Are Waiting?
Providing service for those
now waiting, and for the new
families who are coming to
Arizona, 10 important to us
and to the state. The record
breaking gain of $4,000 so far
this year indicates the prog
ress being made. Our plans
call for huge expenditures
nearly $25 million in Arizona
this year and next-to ex-
pand existing plant to serve
present and future demand
for telephone service. We are
asking for increased rates to
improve our earnings in order
to attract the investment dol
lars necessary to carry out
this program.
Haven't Telephone Rates
Gone Up AS Much Or
More Than Other Things?
It's true that you pay more
for telephone service than you
did a few years ago, but it
actually takes a smaller part
of the family budget today
than it did in 1910! Only ~
per cent of the average fam
lily budget in Arizona goes for
telephone service today, while
90 per cent was needed in
1910. And with the addition
of more and more telephones,
your telephone is more valu-

ever before.
What About Taxes?
We don't hold a monopoly
on paying taxes, as you wei
know, and we're not com
planning about paying our
fair share; but we mention
them because taxes do mount
up to such an extent that
they are an important con
sideration in any explanation
Of where our dollars go. Here
in Arizona, an average OF
$3.51 per telephone per
month goes for federal, state
and local taxes. Taxes are
second only to wages among
our operating expenses.
Why 10 You Raise
Wages and Thereby (
Increase Costs? +
Good employees are the very
backbone of good telephone
service. In order to get and
keep these people in our busi-
ness, we must pay wages
which are comparable to
those paid for similar work
in the community. Moreover,
ours is a high wage ratio in
dustry-about 48 cents out
of every revenue dollar goes
for wage costs. Our total wage
costs in Arizona now amount
to about $11, 200, 900 annually.
How Much of An Increase
Is Being Asked?
Our petition to the Commls-
sion does not specify a dollar.
amount. We have asked that
a fair rate of return be es-
tabIished-fair to the Com
pany, its investors, and its
customers-based upon Sahe
value of our properly in Arl-
zona. After the Commission
has examined all the facts,
we will then be in a position
to ask that equitable rates be
established to secure the
needed additional revenue.
We seek no more-and no
less-than enough to do a
good job for Arizona's tele-
phone users.

Haven't Prices and

In some respects, yes. But as

Just our rates arbitrarily to

With Such An Increase

Yes, we have. The volume of

this: expenses have gone up

obligation to make every ef-
fort to provide service when

it, we have had to meet the
demand as it has developed
during the past years when
prices have been at an all
