.keYHit Of Rally
Tops Comeback
By Kryhoski
Veterans SIugging
Finally Puts Orioles
Over 4-Run Mark
BY the As.oeio+ed Press

BALTIMORE, May 11.-Dick
Kryhoski, who refused to give
up on himself when just about
everybody else had chalked him
off, was the biggest Oriole in
Baltimore today.
The 29-year-old first baseman,
virtually eliminated by injuries
before he could get up a good
head of steam early this season,
capped brilliant comeback last
night by knocking in four runs
as the Orioles squeezed by the
Athletics, 7-6.
Four. runs in the ninth inning
pulled the Orioles out of the Gel
lar and into tie with Washing
ton for sixth place. Each has
won Z and lost IL.
Kryhoski. starting only his
third game, bagged two doubles
and a single in four trips as he
boosted his record to 8-for-14
and a .571 average.
Two of his runs batted in
came in the ninth when he
doubled of Bob Trice, who had
relieved Ed Burtschy with one
out and the bases loaded on two
walks and Bob Young's single.
Gil Coan greeted Trice with q
single, scoring Young. Coan adj
vanced to third on Kryhoski's
two-run double and scored mo-
ments later with the winning
run on Sam Mele's sacrifice fly.
The four runs driven in by
Kryhoski during the evening
equaled the total Oriole produc-
ton for any previous game.
A few weeks ago you could
have named your own odds on
Kryhoski's playing regularly.
He had reported to spring
training with a reputation for
being unable to hit southpaw
pitching and Eddie Watkins was
betting the ball through the pre-
season grind.
Meanwhile, Kryhoski suffered
a fractured wrist in training
when he was hit by a pitched
ball. The trade rumors started
shortly afterward. The wrist
barely healed when he was hit
by a batted ball in pre-game
practice and came up with a
cracked rib.

FINAL H-BOMB
TEST IN 1854
IS COMPLETED

WASHINGTON Up - The United
States has fired a final hydrogen
explosion in the 1854 test series at
the midi Pacific proving ground.
A joint Atomic Energy Commits
sion Defense Department an
nouncement said last night the
series had been completed and
the tests were successful in
the development Of thermonu-
clear weapons.
This was much like language
used at the end Of previous test
series and, like the previous an
nouncements, 1t did not specify
how many bombs had been set
off. However, three previous ex-
plosions had been announced - a
mighty blast on March l, another
explosion rs days later and a third
on April 6 -. leaving open to specu-
lation whether one or more than
one defamation occurred after that
time.
Thermometer Is the scien-
lists term indicating q hydrogen
explosion.
Announcement Of the end Of the
series, which drew foreign protests
because radioactive particles
showered well outside the test
test area, came on the same day
that q five power conference
opened in London, aimed at end
ing the arms race and outlawing
nuclear weapon warfare.
There was some speculation of
Q connection between the timing Of
yesterdays announcement, contin-
uing protests abroad and the Lon
don conference.
The joint announcement by
Atomic Energy Commission Chair
man Lewis Strauss and Secretary
Of Defense Wilson said Of the 1854
tests:
''They were essential to our ma
donal interest and have contrib
uted materially to the security of
the United States and the free
world.
ssThe tests being concluded, with
in a few days sea and air traffic
may be safely resumed within the
warning area which was set up
for safety purposes for the time
when the tests were taking place.
Official notice to airmen and mar
iners viii be published"
This could have been an indirect
reply and assurance to the COM
plants abroad.
Although the only foreign ma
ionals actually injured by radio
active matter drifting from the test
area have been japanese fisher
men, some Of the sharpest criti-
cism has come from within
Britain.
In a fresh manifestation Of this
feeling, Laborite Arthur Henderson
asked Prime Minister Churchill
yesterday, eff In view Of the great
public concern over development
Of the H-bomb, would the Prime
Minister consider proposing that
there should be suspension Of all
hydrogen bomb tests and explo-
sions pending the outcome Of the
disarmament conference?"
Churchill replied only that he
had mo power to give directions
to the United States or to the So
Wet Union on this subject"
(Russia has produced at least
one thermometer explosion.)
The fact that the United States
announced yesterday tn 1854 series
was ended did not necessarily
mean that the program had been
cut short, although this was pos
sible.
