Babe DidriksOn
Still Has George
And Her Roses
By WILL cRIMsLEY

NEW YORK R-n Babe Didrik-
son Zaharias, the worlds greatest
all-around woman athlete, is forced
by her present illness to give up
all sports competition, she probably
won't mind too much. Shell still
have George and her roses.
George is George Zaharias, the
Babes husband, a 3OO-pound one
time wrestler with scalloped eau
lifower ears. This giant of 4 man,
now a successful promoter and
real estate operator, Is the center
Of the Babes tenderest affections.
In recent years as file phenomen-
al Texas athlete toured the country
earning some 500, 900 annually in
golf tournaments and exhibitions,
she constantly debated retirement.
Il ought to give this stuff up
and go back to George" she fire.
quently told her transforming COM
panions. Il miss George, and our
roses"
After an examination last week
in Beaumont, Tex, a doctor said
the Babe may never be able to
play competitive golf again. She
Is suffering from a maIady of q
malignant nature.
The muscular daughter Of q Nor
wegian ships carpenter bIazed q
fabulous career in diversified ath-
letic accomplishment before she
finally turned her full devotion to
golf and set marks that may never
be matched.
She was a double gold medalist
in the 1892 Olympic games, a
standout basketball and baseball
player and a potential champion
in numerous other sports. But she
always has regarded herself as
first and foremost a housewife.
The Babes longest absence from
George was in 1947 when she went
to scotland to win the British
Women's golf championship, the
first American TO do it.
When the victorious Babe came
home July 1, George rode a tug
boat out to the liner 10 greet his
wife. When the Babe spotted him,
she stuck two fingers in her mouth
and let out a shriIl whistle.
Hey. George. she yelled. here
l am.
George came aboard, embraced
her while beaming broadly, and
the Babe remarked: Seeing Georg
again gave me q greater thrill
than when / won the tournament. "
Zaharias, once billed on the mat
as the Crying Greek from Cripple
Greek, met the Babe in 1888 when
they were teamed FOR an exhibition
match with 4 minister. They dated
but they never found time to get
married.
One day in st. Louis George
looked the Babe in the eyes and
said, I'VE get married on Friday
or we're through They married
Friday.
At first they lived in Denver's
fashionable suburbs. Their house
contained an eight-foot square bed,
an idea Of the Babes. Later they
moved to Chicago and recently
transferred 10 Tampa. Fla. where
they bought the Tampa Golf and
Country Club.
There they set up housekeeping
in . pink stucco, rebuilt eaddy
house near the putting green. The
Babe does her own cooking IN i

HOn1ers In
Baseball History
AP Sports WrIssr

From now on you can scratch
off "unbeaten'' when you're talking
about the 1858 major league base
ball teams.
With only five days gone and 4
dozen games played il z ii
league, every one Of the is teams
has lost at least once. The last
three Milwaukee, Cleveland and
Broohyn-bowed yesterday.
Almost every spring some club
jumps out ahead with a steady
string Of victories through the first
week or 10 days. This seasons
give-and-take, in which not only
every team has lost but all save
Washington has won at least once,
came about in almost the mini.
mum time.
The longest streak was two
games, certainly nothing to excite
the faithful, but at least for the
Braves it equalled their best con-
secutive victory string in season
and a half.
The Braves, who would like 10
think they left their losing habits
in Boston when they moved to
Milwaukee, put up quite q fight
to make it three in a row, but q
desperation ninth inning rally in
Cincinnati fell enc run short.
The RedIegs edged them, 1913,
as young Joe Nuxhan got the side
out with the tying run on second
base. Cincinnati had broken a I'll
deadlock in the eighth with the
help Of three walks from rookie
Bob Bull, who was making his
first major league start.
A ninth inning rally that was
successful enabled Detroit to end
Cleveland's two game streak, 6-5.
The Dodgers bowed to the New
York Giants, SO, in the afternoon
half Of a day-night twin bin at the
Polo Grounds although they hustled
back into the win column with 4
l24 decision under the lights.
In other action, the New York
Yankees whipped Washington rs,
with Mickey Mantle driving Z 562,
foot home run. one Of the longest
in baseball history: PhiIadelphia's
Charlie Bishop shut out the Boston
Red Sox, SO, on five hits; and the
st. Louis Browns edged the Chi
cago White Sox in Chicago, e.4,
with the temperature only four
degrees above freezing.
Since baseball statisticians rare
" come equipped with tape meas

records on the longest home runs.

How to modernize a house is
a subject that is becoming more
and more popular because we
are living differently than we
used to.
Shorter work weeks, more leis-
ure time, hobbies, gardening
the do-it-yourself trend, televi-
sion and radio, the organized
ballyhoo for home ownership
and many other factors are
making people much more home
conscious.
But undermining a home is a
complicated problem. 1t raises
such questions as what house?"
and what is modern?" Many
books have been Written-cloSe
to small library of them-try-
ing to give us some common de-
nominatorS to work with.
One of the most ambitious of
recent volumes we have seen is
THE Complete Book of Home
Modernizing," by Samuel Paul,
architect, and one of his COL
leagues, Robert B. Stone. It has
just been published by the H. S.
Stuttman Co.
This is a sort of an omnibus
book. drawing on various trade
contributions by way of illustra-
tions, but the authors tackle the
subject of modernization on the
practical basis of how you and
your family live.
THE home belongs to both
the parents and the children"
They keep that in mind.
Space is the first requisite
for an atmosphere of comfort
and graciousnesS in which your
family and guests will always
feel at ease" You can agree
with that, but space is the most
expensive commodity home
builders have for sale.
Two children of widely diff
ferent ages should not share the
same bedroom" the authors con-
tinue. Such enforced intimacy
can create behavior problems.
"A play area where the small
child can express himself as an
individual avoids frustrating con-
f1icts with older members of the
family. An efficient kitchen,

Home Modernizotion Poses Thorny Problems

laundry and up-to-date bath
room are mandatory to facili-
tate mothers work. Space where
father can retreat to his favorite
hobby or occasional business
homework will ease another
potential strain"
y X X
THE ORGANIZATION of
space in a home is analyzed.
"An otherwise ample house is
still overcrowded if there is
lack of space for particular
function" these writer's observe.
For example, only one bath
room for three children and two
parents can result in bedlam
every morning. Such family
can surely list an extra bath
room as a must, plus a second
lavatory in the existing bath
room"
Plans, diagrams, sketches and
photos show just about every
kind of a bathroom you'd like
to have-from the half bath to
the double bath, solarium bath,
health room, etc. Other rooms
are handled accordingly.
OF course. there are some
houses that just can't be mod
ernized-beyond a coat of paint
and other routine renovations.
But their theme. which is obvi-
ously true, is that "There is prob
ably no house standing that
could not be improved-in its
materials. in its structure, and
in the way it reflects and en-
courages the changing, modern
American way of life"
The moral seems to be that we
can't "sanely modernize" our
homes without giving the prob
lem as much serious thought
and investigation as we'd give
the planning of new house.

Korea She'll Surplus Diverted;
Clark Is Unaware of Request
President Asserts
'BoIdy's' Fall Isn't
Due to q SHORTAGE

The ammunition supply in
Korea is sufficient for existing
operations, President Eisenhower
declared today. He added he had
been told United Nations reverses
on Old Badly were not connected
with an ammunition shortage.
The President said he had per-
sonally checked into the situa-
ton on Old Badly and had asked
military authorities whether the
height had been yielded to the
Communists for any reasons
relating to an ammunition
shortage.
He said he was told emphati-
cally there was no such relation
ship. He said there has been a
shortage of three items of am
munition in Korea, but added
the supply situation is improving.
Gen. Eisenhower also told a
questioner there is no conflict
between his statement opposing
a reduction in combat forces and
the 10 per cent cut now en-
visioned by Defense Secretary
Wilson.
He said the administration is
trying to get expenditures in
manageable shape and that if
Mr.. Wilson finds where reduc-
tions can be made without being
harmful, ne will be justified in
recommending them.

Eisenhower Bans Leave Pay
For Cabinet, Other Top Aides
Says High Officials Never Are Off Job;
Condones Practice in Lower Brackets

President Eisenhower today
laid down a policy barring &C
cumulated leave payments to
cabinet members and other high
executive officials.
He told his news conference
that he did not see how a top
level officer of the Government
could accumulate leave.
The President took this stand
when asked for comment on re-
cent disclosures that most men,
bers of the cabinet of former
President Truman each drew
several thousand dollars in &C
cumulated leave when they left
office.
A House Appropriations sub
committee had revealed that 215
high-ranking Truman admins
tration officials including cabinet
officers drew more than $1,000
apiece in annual leave payments.
The total paid out to the officials
was 100000, the subcommittee
said.

he never would aquiesce in the
accumulation Of leave by high

Four of Frances top officials

building up Western European
defenses.

day series of conferences for

The conferees met around a

in the presidential dining room

tary Of Defense Wilson on his

ranking officers of the executive
branch of the Government.
He explained that when he is
away from Washington for a few
days he does not consider that
he is on leave or that he can
possibly divest himself of any re-
sponSibilities of his Office. In the
same way no cabinet officer can
lay down the responsibilities of
office even when on a vacation,
he said.
The President made clear that
he was not opposing the leave
procedures for lower level en-
ployes of the Government. He
also said that such employees,
under certain circumstances.
should be entitled to accumu-
lated leave.
But he declared that this
would never justify any depart
ment or agency head from au-
thorizing accumulated leave pay
to an employe who is dropped
from the payroll and almost i'm
mediately rehired. The Federal
rent sterilization Office recently
was criticized for such a prac-
tice.

Eisenhower Awaits
Report From Kansas
In Yves Roberts Case
Won't Defend Any One
Who Turns Out Unfit,
He Tells Newsmen
BY Joseph A. Fox

esident Eisenhower has
great faith in the Kansas Leg
islature and courts and will
await their findings before max
ing up his mind what to do in
the row centering around Wes-
ley Roberts, Republican national
chairman, he told his news con-
ference today.
Mr.. Roberts is under investi-
cation by the Legislature in
connection with a fraternal in
surance organizations sale of a
hospital building to the State.
He received an $1,000 fee on
the sale, but has denied that he
violated the States lobbying law
or INDUCED in any improperly.
The Legislative Committee is
due to report tomorrow.
Upholds Roberts.
Gen. Eisenhower earlier had
expressed his confidence in Mr..
Roberts and repeated it today.
But he said he didn't intend
to defend any one who turns out
to be unfit. He has too deep a
belief in the integrity of public
Office to do that, he said.
Turning to the general ques-
ton of Government personnel,
the President said he wanted
middle of -the-roaders in his
administration because he
doesn't like extremists.
The President said it was he
who gave final clearance to all
White House appointments.
First of all. the President said,
he looks for men who were logi-
cal for the posts and devoted to
public service.
Tells Of Screening.
When appointments are to be
made within the departments.
Gen. Eisenhower said, the heads
Of the agencies do their own
screening. On other appoint
ments. he added, Sherman
Adams, his top assistant, does
the screening.
When recommendations are
made for appointments. Gen. Eli
Senhower said, he always calls
the prospects in and asks if they
would be able to serve without
exerting bias in any direction.

the Senate held over until to-
morrow a vote on the nominal
ton. which has stirred bitter
controversy.
The President told a news
conference that he knew Mr..
Bohlen personally; had been the
guest at his home on at least
one occasion; had played golf
with him and knew something of
his philosophy.
Recalling that Mr.. Bohlen,
long considered the State De-
partment's expert on Russia,
knew the people of that coun-
try. the President said firmly
that he still believes he is the
best qualified man for the post.
Jabs at Senate Foes.
The President also jabbed at
statements by Senators McCar-
thy, Republican, of Wisconsin,
and McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada, who said during Senate
debate that Mr.. Bohlen was one
of the leftover lieutenants of for
mer Secretary of State Acheson
who had been slipped over on
President Eisenhower.
Gen. Eisenhower said that if
anybody had discovered a blind
spot in his makeup on that issue
it was one of which he was not
aware.
AS for Senator Mccarthy, the
President said he has no inten-
ton OF trying to interfere with
him as long as the Senator
thinks he is doing the right
thing.
Congressional hackers of Mr.
Bohlen predicted he will be con-
f1rmed by a substantial majority
Majority Leader Taft ex-
planned that the decision not
to meet today had nothing
to do with the Bohlen nomina-
ton. It is merely to give COM
mittees more time to meet.
Meanwhile. Democrats are en-
joying the discord which has
developed in Republican ranks
