better for us to go along with
more experienced players.
I'D like to have Vernon as

"but I don't think they'll talk
business with me. When I
traded Vernon to Washington I
practically gave him away. In

Cincinnati, To. last night to stay
three games up on Milwaukee.
The Braves whipped the Giants,
9-6. in a day game. Pittsburgh
slipped out of the cellar as the
Redlegs fell in, beating Chicago,
Al. Cold weather idled st. Louis
at Philadelphia.
Boyer. a Cardinal castoff and
brother of Redbird Rookie Ken
Boyer, was troubled only by his
own wildness and Faye Throne
berry's home run as he beat the
sagglng Red Sox. He walked the
bases full in the fifth after Norm
Zauchin's leadoff double and Billy
Goodman's sacrifice fly scored
the other Boston run.
Loser Frank Sullivan was
tagged by Renna's solo shot in
the first and Zernial's three run
clout in the third. Wilson, who
also had two doubles, homered
off Jim Henry in the sixth.
House Gets Grand Slam
Detroit had a grand-slam
homer from Catcher Frank
House. his first in the majors,
and three free runs to beat the
Orioles. Bill Miller walked five
in a row for two Tiger runs in
the fifth and Lou Kretlow gave
up a single before walking three
in a row for another gift in the
eighth. Veteran Steve Gromek
won it as AL Kaline and Harvey
Kuenn continued their batting
streakS. They now have hit in
all II Detroit games this season.
Pitching was the feature of
the National League games. Bob
Purkey gave up Just four hits
as Pittsburgh snapped a three
game Chicago winning streak.
1t was his first full-length per-
Torrance in the majors. Dick
Groat backed UP the sophomore
Highlander, who had six strike
outs and four walks, with three
hits. George and Gene Freese
had two each.

AT the Polo Grounds, big
Gene Conley held the Giants to
two hits for eight innings and
had a 81 lead that withstood
a five-run New York rally in the
ninth. Five Milwaukee runs
chased Ruben Gomez in the Sec
ond and Hank Aaron, Bobby
Thomson and Danny O'Connell
followed it up with home runs.
Willie Mays homered for New
York in the second and Hank
Thompson capped the too-late,
too-little heroics with a three
run pinch homer.
Billy Loes had a no-hitter |
against the Redlegs for 52s |
innings, then Ed Bailey's single
followed an error for Cincin-
MATHS second run. The first came
when Loes walked three and hit |,
another in the second. Loes, who |
left in the seventh because Of |
a blister on the index finger of !
his pitching hand, was followed |
by Ed Roebuck. who allowed |
Cincinnatl's second and last hit

pinch single.
The Dodgers got Is walks and !

without hit, Roy Campanella,

time this season, drove in two
runs with a bases-loaded single
off Corky Valentine in the
fourth.

Army Court Acquits
Two American Soldiers
In E. Germany Fracas

BERLIN, R-A six-man US
Army court acquitted two Ameri-
can soldiers today of disorderly
conduct charges based on their ar.
rest in the Soviet sector Of Berlin
The court ruled that Pvts. Willie
j. Holden, of Poplarville, Miss,
and Richard l.. Calbert, of Kansas
City, Mo-, were innocent in a
brawl which led to their arrest by
Communist East German police
and their subsequent release by
the Russians.
The case aroused wide interest
because the East German Reds,
claiming that East Berlin is part
Of sovereign" East Germany, de-
manded that their courts try the
men. The Russians, however,
abided by, the four power rules
long in use in divided Berlin and
returned the soldiers to US. auth
critics.
A refugee who saw the incident,
Mrs. Helene Ehlers, testified today
that an East German cabaret per-
former, Werner Lierck, provoked
an argument with the two soldiers
at a Soviet sector bar on Dec. z,
The witness said the German re
peatedly assailed the soldiers as
american swine" and tried to
attack one of them. When Lierck
lunged toward Holden, the woman
testified, Holden hit him in self

Good Salaries for Good Legislators,
Committee Recommends to Convention

members needed to be only 81
years old. The same resident re-
quirements apply as to the Senate.
The committee also proposes
that the legislature convene each
year, with no limit on the length
of session.
The conventions executive COM
mittee also has proposals expected
to furnish long hours Of debate.
One probably controversion rec
ommendation is the requirement
for secretary of state.
The committee would require
that governor be not less than 80
years old and an Alaskan for sew
en- years. His term would be four
years and he would have to step
down after the second term for al
least four years.
The secretary of state, under
the committee plan, would have
the same qualifications. In addi-
ton, he would be linked on the
ballot to the governor.
Strong feelings on the subject
were expressed during a recent
public hearing. Some felt the sec
rotary of state should be an APP
pointive official; others felt he
should be an elective office, but
not tied on the same ticket with
the governor
Before sending the convention
into 15-day recess Saturday, del
egates went through another
stormy session, this one dealing
with initiative and referendum
