Giles Plans 10 Modify
Orders 10 Umpires
On Calling Of Games
BY the Assoeiosed Press

MILWAUKEE, June II. =
Warren Giles, National League
president, will modify his in
structions to umpires regarding
rain at baseball games to make
them more specific, Sports Ed
itor Russ Lynch of the Mil
waukee Journal said yesterday.
Lynch said that he has talked
with Giles by telephone and the
National League head said:
II don't know what I'm going
to do. I have in mind advising
the umpires that if the game
continues through five innings
in rain, they should complete
play another inning or two and
not make it appear that it was
played only to get the money"
The question arose as the re-
suit OF a game here between
Brooklyn and Milwaukee June
2. The game was suspended by
rain for 80 minutes and finally
called at the end of five innings,
some of which was played in the
rain. Lynch said he called Giles
to verify remarks made in a let
ter to protesting fan, James
Stern.
In his letter the league pres
ident said:
bad Judgment may have been
exercised by the umpires in the
handling of the game Of June 2.
If so. I must accept much of
the responsibility because of the
instructions issued by this Office,
which are in part as follows:
"1n. cases of special days,
when there are large crowds, the
umpires should continue the Sus-
pension. (because of rain) as
long as there is any chance to
get in a legal game.
Remember. many fans i.
are better satisfied if the con-
test is decided than if the game
does not become a legal game
Apparently these instructions
need to be more specific and
modified some, and I intend to
do so Immediately, using the
game OF June 2 as an example,"

ST. CROIX HAS SUGAR MILLS

AA[AD 011A AALo -.
II time has come for St. Grox to stop com
planning about the fact that it is the<stepchild Of the Virgin
Islands, and do something about it. In the January News
Letter of the ST. Croix Chamber of Commerce, Manager
Carl Wills called attention to two articles on the Islands in
the American press. One Of these graced US with a one-sen-
tence comment on sugar mills, the other was most eloquent
in its silence.
WHAT'S HER involved is no light, passing, or whim-
steal matter. This is no newly acquired sentiment born of a
desire for meaningless recognition, and a place in the sun.
There is more to ii, and we had hoped that those who handle
the tourist business would eventually come around to seeing
the infadvisablity Of selling the Islands as just one Island
TRUE, ST. THOMAS must live BY its tourist trade.
True, it has what it takes to beckon the tourist and satisfy
him. However, it does not necessarily follow that in properly
and effectively selling St..Thonas to the American public
that it must be done at the sacrifice Of all the others in the
group. This is as logical as seeking a full education without
bothering to learn to write.
u THERE is another matter which is most surprising.
The three major islands Of the group are quite apart in what
they have to offer, 50 that any idea whatever Of competition
toSthe sacrifice Of any particular onesis completely out of the
question. Furthermore, St. Thomas would loom larger in its
offering in proportion to, and in terms Of what the sister
islands have to offer. Why not then tell the world Of the
Virgin Islands, and in 50 doing paint a complete picture Il
picture in which ST. Thomas, by virtue Of what it repre-
sents, would have even greater meaning to the tourist
TO THOSE WHO take the normal cruises, St. Thomas
is included as a matter Of course. They therefore stop off,
take pictures, buy souvenirs and the like and are gone. But
there is a sizable group Of those who would inger, Of those
whose feet itch with the wanderlust and to whom confine=11
ment IS unattractive to these people the entire group

Our Welfare Agencies

We call attention 10 the address given by Mon.
siRnor Joseph G Waien, Editor OF the western
Michigan Catholic at the annual meeting of the
Catholic Welfare Bureau last week His observa-
tions regarding the changing character of the mod
ern city parish and the lack of contact of many
Catholics with their pastors deserves thoughtful
consideration. His remarks regarding the role OF
Catholic social service agencies In stemming leak
age from the Church and in helping lax Catholics
return 10 parish life. worthy OF careful study
His statement regarding the Importance OF having
Catholic men and women exercise their rights and
duties as citizens by taking part in civic affairs
in order TO bring Christian principles into com
munity matters, is valuable advice
The idea that such lay and religious citizens
can protect the religious and civic rights of their
less fortunate brethren by seeing the laws and reg
ulaons respect religious affiliations OF families and
children. are a necessary corallary The pronounce
ments of recent Popes that the members of the
Church must reehrstianze society and replace the
seculsrist philosophy which is widespread today,
is well known to all of us
The ability Of the Church TO meet modern con
ditions with modern methods IS a sign OF her etern-
al youth Central Catholic family agencies are rel
atvely new but they reflect the youthful vigor OF
the Church and her ability 10 adapt her methods TO
meet the exigencies of the times. Historically the
Church has ranked the ApoStolate of Charity TO
the burdened the weak and the helpless as some
thing alongside her missionary endeavors.
In this important work the Church is not tied
down 10 particular methods Today when there are
a growing number OF agencies and organizations
engaged in family counselling and personal guild
ance and when the institutional programs for the
care of children are supplemented and extended
by the use of foster family care the Church re
tans her age-old objective Of having souls for
heaven and helping the poor earth while she
changes her methods and procedures to meet the
exigencies of The times

Albanian Reds must be livid with envy to learn
that while their government can barely afford
TO feed the police dogs their next-door tyrant Tito
is planning to build what every Workers Paradise
really needs-its own State Cremstorum.
Although it is, quite literally, the last word
in providing for the needs of its citizens, State
Crematorium is not really luxury item in Com
munist countries. 1t is, If we may be permitted the
expression a burning need.
Even Yugopress, the official propaganda sheet
of Tito's tyranny admits that the cemeteries are
getting overcrowded. What with exit visas so hard
TO come by, that development is not surprising.
Several tricky questions present themselves in
regard to Yugoslavia's proposed dust-bin.
An American Republican will doubtless ask: Who
is paying for it?
Yugoslav Catholic might ask: Are we permit
ted TO hope that glorious leader Tito will
else his wonted leadership in the of this device?
We don't have the facts on who's paying for it,
but We fear that Tito would consider it hostile,
capitalistc attack if the U.s. refused to underwrite
at least the construction and maintenance of this
democratic improvement.

Pirate Relief Agencies Lauded

in the normal channels of trade.
In other words, they will be
consumed by people who would
not have purchased these goods
under ordinary circumstances,
and that, of course. is one of the
detectives of this legislation.
One of the problems in dis
posing of surplus commodities
is how to do so without SER
ious interruption I 0 ordinary
trade. To make such commodi-
ties available free. or at a re-
duced price, in direct competi-
tion with regular commerce, il
is argued, would cause serious
financial problems.
In assuring the House that
distribution of surplus goods by
private relief agencies would
avoid this difficulty, Representa-
tive Hope is also paying a trib-
ute to the ability of such agen-
cies to reach down and get re-
lief directly to the people who
need it.
I'm the second place, of
course" Representative Hope told
his confreres, "the Committee
feels, after carefully looking into
this matter, that those agencies
have demonstrated that they
have the ability and the exper-
fence and the organization that
will enable them to do a good
job in making the distribution.

WASHINGTON 49, Independent

Congressional action is aimed at
disposing of these stores, and at
gaining some benefit from their
disposal.
Under one title of the meas
ure, the Commodity Credit Cor
poration is authorized to make
available to the President sur
plus commodities that can be
employed TO relieve distress in
this country due TO unemploy-
ment, disasters and other emer-
gencies. and to aid school lunch
programs. needy assistance pro-
lectS and penal institutions and
hospitals in the States.
From commodities remaining
after such domestic assistance is
accorded, the measure authorizes
the President TO make them
available to ''nonprofit volun-
tary agencies registered with the
Committee on Voluntary Foreign
aid of the Foreign Operations
