Back in 1948 the Boston
Braves won the National League
pennant with a pitching staff
of Spain, Sain and two days
rain" Five years later that
staff would still bring a fortune
on the open market.
The SIS men are split up now,
Johnny Sain working for the
New York Yankees and Warren
SPAIN still with the Braves, but
calling Milwaukee instead of
Boston home.
Although on the shady. side
of 80 both are having great
years. So are their ball clubs.
If things keep up they might
find themselves pitching against
each other in a World Series
game.
Sain, the busiest pitcher on
the Yankee staff. picked up his
sixth victory and his first shut
out last night against the st.
Louis Browns, SO. He's started
nine times, worked seven COM
plete games, lost two and has
an earned run average of 2.65.
SPAIN Wins Sixth.
SPAIN, apparently as good as
new after an early season injury,
also won his sixth game last
night, a thinning, 80 struggle
over the Phillies in which he gave
up only five hits. He's been
beaten once in seven starts and
has worked five complete games
with an earned run average of
2.10.
Sain's victory extended the
Yankees winning streak to eight,
their longest in two years.

both the present close defense
cooperation between Canada
and the United States and the
NATO concept of pooling mill
tary strength.
High sources in the Cana
dian Defense Department said
the increased threat to North
American security which had
developed in the last two or
three years would justify the
establishment of a single COM
mand for continental defense.
They pointed to the Russian
manufacture of nuclear weap-
ons and long-range aircraft
capable of delivering those
weapons on North American
targets, and guided missiles.
At the same time they don't
believe Canadians generally
appreciate the increased dan
ger, and they foresee this as
an obstacle in the way of
implementing Gen. Bradley's
suggestion.
Canadian political leaders
haven't commented officially
on the proposal yet, but OBJ
servers believe it will be much
more difficult to sell the idea
to the politicians than to the
military.
Evening star., 1953-09-20

OTTAWA. - The proposal
that Canadian and American
military forces be brought
under a single command for
North American defense caught
political and military experts
here by surprise. but on the
whole the reaction has been
quite favorable.
The idea was propounded by
General of the Army Omar
Bradley, former chairman of
the United States Joint Chiefs
of Staff, in a recent article in
the Saturday Evening Post.
Gen. Bradley said that "a
more effective overall con-
tinental defense command
must be worked out" He
argued in favor of a single
command which would in
clude not only the air forces,
but elements of the armies and
naVies of both countries" and
he urged President Eisenhower
to discuss the idea with Prime
Minister Louis St. Laurent.
Top Canadian military plan
ners agree with Gen Bradley
that time is pressing. They
admit that any such unified
command must be headed by
an American, and they see it
as a logical development" of

both departments the issue
was administrative boards VS..
departm e n administrators
with advisory boards.
Despite a split in public opin-
ion, the Commissioners bravely
backed Mr.. Lowe and elimi-
mated the 26-year-old Welfare
Boards administrative author
ity. They offered the board
members posts on the new We'll
fare Advisory Board and all but
one accepted. At the same
time they established a Health
Advisory Board and announced
the membership last WedneS-
day.
Then came the action on the

final victory.
In the meantime two other
developments occurred to en-
hance the position of the re-
organizers.
First, although the Com
missioners rejected the sug-
geStion of eliminating the
Traffic Department and con-
solidating most of its func-
tions in the Highway Depart
ment, Engineer Commissioner
Louis Prentiss undertook to
eliminate duplication between
the two. He now has done
this and, in so doing, has
