Mueller, Mays Slam
Inside-Park Homers;
LiddIe Gets Victory
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 18.-In-
side-the-park home runs by
Willie Mays and Don Mueller
brought the Giants close to the
National League championship
today as they crushed the Phil
lies, 9-1.
Any combination of three
Giant victories or Dodger de-
feats will clinch the title for the
New Workers. The Dodgers who
were idle today, are five games
behind with seven games to play,
while the Braves lag by 71a
games.
Mueller, who set the pace in
the first inning with his homer
that rolled to the bleacher wall,
singled in the sixth for his 200th
hit of the season-first major
league player to accomplish the
feat this year. No Giant has
made 200 hits in one season since
Jojo Moore did it in 1886.
Liddle Loses Control.
Little Don Liddle started for
the Giants and looked unbeat-
able until he suddenly lost his
control in the sixth and threw
II straight balls. He received
credit for the victory and gave
up only two hits. Liddle was re-
placed by Marv Grissom, who
promptly put out the fire and
yielded one more hit the rest of
the way.
Mays homer in the sixth was
his 41st of the year. It scored
AL Dark, who had singled, and
Mueller.
The Giants scored two in the
second on successive singles by
Davey Williams. Don Liddle, Ray
Katt, and Whitley Lockman.
Dark, who ended the rally by
hitting into a double play, atoned
Tor this in the fourth when he
cracked a single to center that
scored Williams, who had singled
to start the inning. and Liddle,
who had walked.
Jones Ruins ShutOut.
Willie Jones hit his 18th
homer of the year into the upper
leftfield stands in the fifth for
the Phillies' only run. The
Giants scored when Mays
walked, Henry ompson
singled, and Mays came home
on a fielder's choice.
Murry Dickson started for the
Phillies but he was replaced in
the second by Bob Miller, who
in turn gave way to Steve Rid
xix in the fifth. Ron Mrozinski
took the mound in the eigth.

locker room today, his head

It didn't look like pennant-
clinching day for Early Wynn,
veteran righthander of the In
dians. It wasn't-at that mo-
ment.
Wynn just had been removed
from the mound as the Tigers
made a bid to tie the score In
the seventh inning. A prideful
man, Wynn had wanted the
distinction of pitching the game
which sealed the doom of Cleve-
lands longtime tormentors, the
Yankees.
But his gloom was turned to
utter joy about an hour later
when his teammates stormed in
to the dressing room, shouting
wildly and screaming: Were

France Sends Aide 70 Gel
Adenauer's View on edo
By the Associated Press

PARIS, June 26-Premier Pr
ere Mendes-France will send
a special envoy to Bonn to
talk with West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer. the For
eign Minister announced today.
The name of the envoy and
the subject of the talk were not
disclosed, but there was specu-
latlon Mr.. Mendes-France want
ed to sound out Mr.. Adenauer on
changes in the European De-
Tense Community treaty.
Mr.. Mendes-France has said
he would suggest notifications
in EDO to pave the way for a
compromise measure which
would enable the National AS
sembly to ratify it.
The foreign Office also said
France rejected an invitation by
Belgium to attend a Six-power
EDO meeting in Brussels next
week for two seasons: 1) the
government will be extremely
busy in the next few weeks on
Indo-C China negotiations and (2)
the attempt to reconcile French
views on the European army
have only started.
France also turned down a
Netherlands suggestion that the
meeting be held in Paris if Mr..
MendeS-France was too busy
to get to Brussels.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-06-26

that the United States and Great
Britain will agree to grant some
kind of sovereignty to Western
Germany to allow it to build an
Army outside the proposed EDO.
The attitude of the new
French Premier, Pierre Mendes-
France, is vital. He is reported
to have told Undersecretary OF
State Walter Bedell Smith that
the EDO scheme should be put
to a vote in the French Assembly
but in a form that will receive
overwhelming support. He is
said to feel that passage by a
skinny majority - over the
wishes of a noisy minority
would not be satisfactory.
Gen. Smith assured Mr.. Men
des-France that the United
States is not considering alter
native to EDO.

ing of words. The basic facts of
the British position were written
up in neon lights. And once that
position was taken, it was absurd
to believe that it could be
changed"
Matter of Survival.
It was no theoretical question
that faced the British govern
ment but a matter of survival.
The wrong decision would have
meant political suicide for Sir
Winston and his meager con-
Sarvative majority in the House
of Commons. One lesson which
Americans have been notably
slow to learn is the futility of
demanding the politically i'm
possible from our allies in
Europe.
Certainly the choice was not a
matter of personal eccentricity
on the part of Britain'S prime
minister. Sir Winston, to be
sure, expounds the idea of a
settlement at the summit "a
get-together on outstanding
East-West differences between
leaders of France, Britain, the
United States and Russia which,
in his view, might at least re-
suit in an improvement of the
international climate.
But underneath this personal
obSeSSion-if it is that-lieS a
large body of British opinion
which believes passionately in
negotiation as the best means of
stopping the spread of commu-
nism and preserving world peace.
Commitments Feared.
In the light of experience, it
is probably true that the aver
age Briton fears war more than
the average American. It is
also probably true that he shows
greater reluctance to enter into
sweeping commitments which
he may be unable to fulfill. The
average Briton is neither a cow
ard nor an appeaser. AS well az
the next man, he realizes there
is a time and a place to Stor
talking and start fighting. But
by his calculation the time is
not now and the place is moi
Indo- China.
This is a feeling which cuts
across all political lines in Brit
ain. 1t is upheld as much BY
left-wing Laborites as by the
Starchiest Conservatives. Nc
government could ignore it anc
stay in power and no govern
ment would ever try.
Considering it's effect in Brit.
ain, in Europe and in the Com.
monwealth, the decision to turn
down Mr.. Dulles request was in
evitable. The fact that it coulc
have easily been anticipated
makes it all the more regret
able that the refusal should have
ben the major cause for the
misunderstanding" that fol-
lowed.

81 Billion Collection
In Day Sets Tax Record

The Treasury took in a little
more than So billion in taxes

mark.
Mid-June is the big season for
payment of corporate income
taxes. On June 16 and II. how
ever. such payments were only
between 5000 million and $700
million. But the next day Treas
ury officials concern evaporated.

the collector amounted to ST ,976.-

the $4,000 100000. figure.
The days take was almost
