Charlottesville, Va.-VThe
cherished hope for a chance

was blasted for Charlottes-

All-Stars last Thursday aft

an Sd decision in a final
playoff game with Danville's

Danville's aggregation, an
all-colored nine, drove out

Palmer OF the visitors, also a
right-hander with a tricky

A quartet of Danville play |

Renaldo Thompson led an

two hits apiece. Bethel hit
a double and a triple and
batted in three runs.
Dixie cut the lead 81

Palmer got on the beam

WHY IS JACKIE" HATED

With the 1854 baseball
season about to enter the
home stretch, most of the
big questions about it have
been answered or will be be-
fore the big fall classic.
However there is one query,
"Why is Jackie Robinson
hated" that may never find
an answer.
In quest of an answer
New Review, polled a num-
Der of widely known sports
columnists, but with very
little result insofar as find
ing an answer. ED Sullivan
of the New York Daily News
and CHS "Toast of the
Town." a former sports
writer, stated: "They don't
boo you unless you're mighty
important and never because
of color. Remember" said
Sullivan, "They booed Demp-
sey, Ben Hogan, Eddie Ar
caro- and many of the other
sports greats of our time"
According to the we'll
known sports columnist of
the New York Post, Jimmy
Cannon, Jackie is disliked be-
cause he doesn't act like the
great player that he is. He;
shouldn't even stoop to ar.
The Tribune. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1951-19??, 1954-08-14
que, says Cannon.

que, says Cannon.
Jimmy Powers, sports edi.
tor of the New York Daily
News, answered the question
by disbelieving that Jackie
is really disliked. ''They just
boo him because he is SO
great on the diamond" says
Powers.
1t is the opinion of New
Review that the only answer
to the growing hate is that
it is a rebellion against
strength, a jealousy against
the power which has made
Robinson great in the face
OF even greater odds. 1t is
a resentment against a man
OF action who refuses to hold
heart in mouth and take it,
so he talks back and fights
back like the man that those
who dislike him would like
to be.
More than any man alive
in baseball, Robinson has
earned the luxury of the
things he does. He not only
added the American touch
to the nations great pas
time, but he has given it a
much needed shot in the arm
nd a greatness that will en-
ance it's Hall of Fame.

MEMORANDUM

In loving memory of Mrs.
Mary Alice Moore who pass
ed away August IA, 1947.
A precious one from us is
gone, a voice we loved is
stilled.
A place is vacant in our
home which never can
be filled.
Some may think you are
forgotten though on
earth you are no more,
We love you, yes we love
you but Jesus loves you
more, and he has sweet
ly called you, dear moth
er, to, that Happy Shore.
Forget you, we will never
because it would be in
vain for us to try.
We will think of you for
ever and love you until
we die.
Days of sadness still
come DER us, hidden
tears so often flow
But to your grave we sadly
wonder, flowers to place
with tender care,
And we feel that you are
near us, as we sadly
linger there.
Sadly missed by her
children,

The American decision to
withdraw four divisions from
South Korea, which has been
harshly criticized there, was
made almost a year ago in light
Of intelligence reports the Chi
nese Reds had cut their forces
on the peninsula by half.
Officials disclosed this today as
they expressed growing irrita-

of United States military
economic aid.
Admiral Radford. chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and
State Department officials first
told ROK President Syngman
Rhee of the redeployment plans
on a trip to Seoul last December,
an informed source told The
Star.
ROK officials have said the
withdrawal took them by sur
prise and added it was not dis
cussed on Mr.. Rhee's recent trip
to Washington. This source said
the withdrawal was discussed at
at least one Washington parley,
however.

nists have cut their armies in
Korea in half since the signing
of the Armistice on July q, 1858,
the American-supported ROK
army has been increased by six
divisions. bringing the total to
20, it was pointed out.
"The North Korean army has
] gotten a comparatively small
build-up," the official said.
There is one good reason for
this-the country just does not
have the population nor the eco
nomic means to support large
force"
Before the war, North Korea
was estimated to have had a
population of 9 million and South
. Korea 10 million. Today. it is

The Senator said he found that
most big housing projects in
Michigan were FHA-insured for
100 per cent Of the cost, or 10
per cent above the limit set in
FILA law, but that many in other
States had been insured for as
much as $50 per cent Of the cost.
That, he explained. gave build
ers a 60 per cent "windfall" pro-

all the costs out of their loan
they still had 60 per cent left and
tenants had to pay rents based
on the full 100 per cent loan.
