who pitches for the Cardinals.
With all the usual eccentrici-

die Of his own, Mizell is the
greatest character" to find his
way into the Cardinal organiza-
ton since Dizzy Dean.
He is often referred to as the
'left-handed Dizzy. Dean" and
the only thing left for him to do
to earn undisputed right to the
title is to start winning all those
ball games everybody thinks he
can win.
Gives Pirates Two Hits.
Mizell looks as If he's on the
right track now. Last night at
Pittsburgh, in cold weather he
doesn't like, Vinegar Bend
moved down the recently dan
gerouS Pirates on two hits. He
struck out nine and didn't allow
a safety until Rookie Carlos
Bernier broke through with a
single in the sixth. Frank Thomas
got the only other Pittsburgh
hit, also a single, with two out
in the ninth. st. Louis won, SO.
When Mizell was pitching for
Houston in 1851, the entire popu-
lation of Vinegar Bend-35-
went over to see him work
against Shreveport. Vinegar
Bend, a hamlet tucked against
the Mississippi line, now has 80
inhabitants.
Since Wilmer has won two
games and pitched one rain
shortened tie, this would seem
to be an appropriate time for
them to move in on Busch Sta
dium for another look at the
local boy.
Two StreakS Halted.
While Mizell was ending the
Pirates f1ve-game winning
streak, two other streaks in the
National League also were
broken. Milwaukee stopped
Brooklyn at six straight with a
ga decision at Ebbets Field and
Cincinnati snapped it's eight

The Phillies took first place
in the league as Brooklyn lost
by whipping Chicago, 8-4.
In the only American League
action, the lowly Tigers rose up
and conquered the Yankees, 1913,
knocking the Yanks down into a

the Cleveland Indians. Boston

The Braves victory was a
sweet one. Last season when
they were the Boston Braves they
bowed 18 times in 81 meetings
with Brooklyn. After sending
Preacher Roe to the showers in
two innings, the Braves exploded
for i've runs against Glen Labine
in the sixth inning to get the de-
cision.
Del Crandall, Johnny Logan
and Sid Gordon led the 15-hit
Milwaukee attack. Crandall
drove in three runs with a home
run in the big inning. Gordon
drove in three with a double and
a single and Logan drove in a
pair on three doubles. Lew

Johnny Antonelli in the first in

u. N..AssembIy Asks
For Secret Talks on
Cutting Armaments
BY The Assoeieted Preu

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Nov.
28.-The United Nations General
Assembly called on its 12-nation
Disarmament Commission today
to intensity efforts to slash ar
maments and proposed secret
big-power talks to speed up the
program.
Before the $40 vote, Henry
Cabot Lodge. jr., chief United
States delegate, said the COM
mission "could make progress
provided that the Soviet Union
desires to make progress. The
United States will do everything
in its power I. :"
The five Soviet bloc countries
abstained in the final tally and
one country was not listed as
voting.
Secret Talks Proposed.
The newest element in the
resolution was the idea of secret
meetings of the big power and
atomic weapon countries in the
commission, to be held in capi-
tails of those countries. These
ideas were contributed by France,
India and Yugoslavia.
The subcommittee would be
expected to hold such meetings
in Washington, Paris, London,
Moscow, Ottawa. perhaps in
IStanbul.
Andrei Vishinsky tried vainly
to get the assembly plenary to
write into the resolution Russian
amendments calling for immedi-
ate prohibition of atomic and
hydrogen weapons, to brand
those using them first as war
criminals, and to draft cuts in
the ornaments of the big four
and Red China by next March /.
Not Specific, Reds Say.
Because the full assembly
voted them down-aS the politi-
cal committee had done before
today's voting - Mr.. Vishinsky
and the Soviet satellites said
they could not vote for the ma
! jority plan.
Mr.. ViShinsky, dropping his
usual virulent aggression charges
against the west, complained to
the assembly that the resolution
was not specific enough; that it
gave the Disarmament Commits
sion no concrete plan to work on.
But he said because the resolu-
ton had "a seed of truth" in it,
the Soviet bloc would not vote
against it; it would only abstain.
Mr.. Vishinsky said, he would
repeat his demands in the as
sembly Monday when it votes on
the Soviet peace package" It
also calls for atomic prohibition,
a one-third slash in big power
ornaments, and abolition of for
eign bases. Rejected in similar
forms twice before, it is certain
to be thrown out by the assembly
again.

Georgi Malenkov today had his
first talk with a Western diplo-
mat since he succeeded Joseph
Stain last March. He called
British Ambassador Sir William
Hayter to the Kremlin for 20
minute discussion that the AM
bassador described as cordial.
They talked about interna-
tional affairs in general. The AM
bassador who took over his post
here only last month, carried no
special message from his own
government. The envoy had fol-
lowed the usual British diplo-
matte practice of asking for an
interview with the Soviet leader
when he arrived in Moscow.
Soviet Foreign Minister V. NJ

interview So was the British
embassy's first secretary, Thomas

Reds Have No Plan
To Quit Germany or
Austria, Lourie Says
By III. Assoeiatsd Pres,

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-Under-
secretary of State Donold B.
Lourie said tonight the recent
series of Russian diplomatic
notes demonstrates that the
Kremlin has no present inten-
ton of ending the occupation of
Germany and Austria.
A note from Moscow November
3. Mr.. Lourie said, showed Rus
sia's determination to hold on
to its advanced positions in Eu-
rope, while the newest note,
agreeing to a Big -Four meeting,
was deceptive"
Mr.. Lourie made his comment
in a speech prepared for delivery
before the Lithuanian
Council here.
He said that on the surface
the note Moscow delivered to the
Big Three Western powers
Thursday appeared to accept
their proposals for a conference
on Germany.
Tactical Retreat"
Actually, he went on, the note
is an attempt to overcome some
of the disastrous consequences
of it's predecessor" which showed
Russia opposed to meeting on
any terms acceptable to the West.
The new message therefore rep
resents "a tactical retreat" by
the Soviets, Mr.. Lourie said,
while in the matter OF basic
policy it sticks to previous Soviet
positions.
"Thus it confirms the impress
sion," Mr.. Lourie said. that the
Soviet Union is not prepared to
agree to a unif1cation of GEL
many on anything like accept
able terms. And Austria is not
even mentioned"
Mr.. Lourie told the American
Lithuanian group that the
United States had never recog-
nized Russia's seizure of the
Baltic States of Lithuania,
Latvia and Estonia and I'VE shall
continue to maintain that posi-
ton unaltered."
He also announced that the
State Department would give
"the fullest cooperation" to a
congressional inquiry into Soviet
occupation of the Baltic States.
The inquiry is to be conducted
under the leadership of Repre-
sentative Kersten, Republican, of
Wisconsin.

sage from President Eisenhower,
