KEY PLAY OF '53 SERIES RECALLED
Gore Shocked at Custer
For Younger Umpires

CINCINNATI, Dec. 21 (R.-
Umpire Artie Gore, a 10-yeal
veteran in the National League
remained slightly unbelieving to.
day about the reasons for hi:
dismissal. Warren C. Giles
League president, said yesterday
that Gore was beins dropped tC
make room for Younger talent.
Giles announced the signing
of Ken Burkhart from the Texas
League and Tony Venzon from
the American Association.
Gore, who worked two WorlC
Series and three All-Star games
said at his home in Lexington
Mass, that the action "came a.
a shock"
"The reasons are unknown tc
me-" he told a reporter. II still
don't know why they let me out.
Giles, at league headquarters
in Cincinnati. put it this way:
II talked with Gore for Is
minutes trying to explain things
to him over the telephone.
Had to Make Room"
I'VE had the opportunity tc
get the contracts Of two young
umpires we had working with us
for two years in spring training
If we didn't get their contracts
now. we were afraid they would
not be available later. We had tc
make room for them.
Gore has been very con.
scientious in his work. That is
all I care to say about the mat
ter"
Gore said he had had a letter
from Giles in November, (which
seemed to take it for granted
that I still was one of the UNI
Ipires."
Then, December 3 came this
call. My wife started to cry a
little. After all. I've been um-
lpiring 20 years."
Gore told newsmen Giles Of
fered to announce his situation
"as a retirement"
Il didn't want it that way and
I still DON'T" Gore said, adding:
1--WE never done anything dis
honorable. I've never turned my
back on a play. I've always
treated big fellow and little fel-
low alike. Why should go walk
around like a shrinking violet
and pretend I'd retired when
hadn't"
Took Sum in Lieu Of Pension
Giles said Gore would have
been eligible for a pension, but
that Some' time ago he took a
lump sum instead.
Gore moved into the National
League in 1947 from the Inter-
national League, where he called
them from 1912 to 1946. He also
umpired in the Canadian-Amer-
ican League, (1937-1938) and the
Eastern League. 1899 to 1912.
Before taking up umpiring, he
played minor league ball for two
years.
He umpired the World Series
in 1851 and 1853 and the ALL
Star games Of 1949, 1854 and
1856.
Burkhart, one Of the newly
appointed umpires, Is 40 years
old and formerly pitched for
the st. Louis Cardinals and Red
legs. He is a native of Knox

port the legislation to be pro-
posed by the Maryland division
of the league. However. it was
pointed out that unless such leg

of mandatory fines, 1t will be OF
little avail as q protective meas

Also. it was suggested that in

men agree to limit their own
catches.
While perhaps many of our
readers will not agree with us.
we support / both suggestions
wholeheartedly. We are tired of
seeing violators Of present laws
get of with ridiculous fines. only
to go right out, and violate the
law again, almost with impunity.
And we have little sympathy with
the angler who inveighs against
catches made by commercial fish,
ermen, and who himself, when
the opportunity presents, catches
and keeps literally hundreds Of
rockfish, as well as other species.
II some self-administered regu-

Gated he didn't make a quick
call.
The score was tied at SIS in

Billy Cox bunted, and Yogi
Berra scooped up the ball and
threw to Gil McDougald cover
ing third for New York. Gore
called Hodges out on a close
lplay, and Chuck Dresser, Dodg-
ers' manager, went into a dance
of rage in the third base coach
ing box, but didn't make an Of
fetal protest.
YankS Finally Win
The Yankees got out of trouble
with no score, finally won the
game 9-5. and Dresser said the
play at third was the deciding
factor.
Films shown later indicated
Gore didn't make a quick call
on the play that was a high
light Of the series.
However, the film stopped
just as Hodges slid into third,
showing Gore with his hands
down waiting to make the call.
Whether Hodges or the ball got
there first cannot be proven.
"The picture doesn't prove
anything about whether he was
safe or out" said Bill Grieve,
American League umpire who
worked behind the plate in that
game. But it does prove that
Gore did not make a quick call.
When they stopped the picture
his hands were still down. He
waited for the play before max

Close the LoophoIe

The move by court and traffic officialS
to close the loophole through which con-
victed reckless drivers at times have been
able to hold onto their permits for indefl-
mite periods Is welcome one. There
have been too many repeater cases in
which motorists whose licenses should
have been revoked have continued to
drive because Of some breakdown in the
permit-revocation process. Under the
plan being considered by court and Dis
trict authorities, the permits Of drivers
convicted Of drunken driving or other
serious traffic offenses would be taken up
by the court as soon as judgment is
rendered.
District law makes revocation man.
datory upon conviction Of driving under
the influence Of liquor or drugs, leaving
after colliding in a case involving per-
Sonal injury, homicide involving an auto
mobile and felonies involving use Of an
automobile. But 1t was disclosed in a re-
cent drunk-driving case that man con-
victed for the second time within nine
months still was in possession of his
permit. The Traflc Department records
showed that he had been ordered by letter
to surrender his permit, but the defend
ant said he had never received the letter.
Similar cases have been reported from
time to time.
In passing the mandatory revocation
law Congress undoubtedly intended that
permits would be taken up without delay,
subject to an appeal procedure. Chief
Judge Walsh Of the Municipal Court has
announced his willingness to cooperate
in any feasible plan to confiscate permits
when the law requires. The law author
ICES the Commissioners to designate an
agent to revoke licenses. Perhaps the
clerk of the court could be designated to
act for the Commissioners in taking up
the permit Of fragrant violator Of the
trafic laws. The normal administrative
procedures in permit cases then would be
carried out by the Traflc Director. The
plan Is worth a test, anyway. II its
legality were challenged successfully in
the courts, Congress ought to amend the
law to make immediate revocation or
suspension mandatory in such aggravated
trafnc cases. 4

An UnW0rTonted Inference

We doubt that there is the slightest
factual basis for Judge Holtzoff's 'infer-
ence" that the younger generation Of
scientists, specifically in the field of
physics, has succumbed to Communist
propaganda"
Judge Holtzoff made this statement
in sentencing Bernard Deutch, a 27-year-
old physicist, for contempt Of Congress
in refusing to identify his Communist
associates.
There is no doubt that Deutch was
Communist. He admitted that. It is
also true that some other young physicists
have fallen under the Communist spell.
But this hardly juStifies the all-inclusive
accusation that the younger generation
of scientists, specifically in the field of
physics, has Succumbed to Communist
propaganda"
Although we believe that Judge
Holtzoff was accurately quoted, we do not
suppose he really meant to say that all
young physicists have Succumbed to Com
munist propaganda. There is no evil
dence that this is correct, and it I'M
doubleday is true that the vast majority
OF young physicists in this country are
loyal citizens. Presumably, Judge Holtzoff
was not weighing his words when he
spoke, but the accusation is in the judicial
record and we think it ought to be
corrected.
