Five Pitchers
Among 8 Sent
ToMinors
By the Associated Press

Five pitchers, a catcher and
two outf1elderS are on their way
to the minor leagues today. as
the majors unloaded their excess
for the start of the 1856 season.
The Dodgers have Roy Cam
PAMELA and Rube Walker for
duties after selling
Charley Thompson. a 30-year-
old, .313 hitter with st. Paul
last year, to Kansas City. The
gave up Outfielder Tom
Saffell. who goes to Portland.
and Pitcher Leroy Wheat, who
heads for st. Paul, plus an un-
sum Of cash for
Thompson.
To make room for Thompson,
the Athletics sent Catcher Bill
Shantz, brother Of Bobby, the
teams star pitcher, to their Co.
lumbus farm team.
Southpaw HOWE Pollet, a 81
game winner in 1916 and 20
game winner in 1949 with the
Cardinals, has been signed as
a free agent with the White
Sox. Pollet, "a. cut adrift by
the Cubs after a 4-3 season last
year, worked out with the White
Sox this spring.
The Redlegs released Pitcher
Bud Podbielan outright to Seat
tie and the Cardinals trimmed
their staff by optioning south
paw Luis Arroyo, a star rookie
last year, to Omaha and releas-
ing Barney Schultz, a right
handler who did we'll this spring,
to the same American Associa-

All-Star team as a rookie last
year and posted an 11-8 record
and a 4.l9 earned run average,
has not been taking his pitching
seriously enough, according to
General Manager Frank Lane.
The Cards also sold Outf1elder

for the Senators fans?
Starting today, answers will
be provided.
Groth Goes to As
The Senators sliced their squad
to 80 players yesterday when
Outf1elder Johnny Groth was
sold to the Kansas City Ath-
letics for the $4,000 waiver
price. Since Groth was drawing
a $4,000 salary, it represents
a quick $4,000 turnover for the
Senators.
Groth. 20, came to the SEN
ators last June with Courtney
and Pitcher Bob Chakales when
Jim Busby departed for the
White Sox. The righthanded
hitter arrived with a 1888 ave-
erage. but hit only PIG with
Washington. Groth is shifting
to his fifth American League
club, having seen previous serv-
ice with Detroit, st. Louis and
Chicago before joining the Sem
atorS.
Contract Extended
The club was involved in a
financial transaction Of consid-
cradle more magnitude when it
extended its radio and television
contract with the National Brew
ing Co. for three more years. The
price, according to brewery and
ball club officials, was in excess
of Sis million.
The National Brewing Co. has
the right to televise "a home
games and an unlimited number
of road games, as we'll as broad
cast all games. through the 1858
season. In addition. it may tele-
wise 30 Washington games into

The pact was announced yes

Federal Aid
Vital" Says
Miss Condor

Miss Mary Condor, Democratic
candidate for Superintendent o.
Public Instruction and President
elect of the Council of Chief State
School Officers, was the featured
speaker at a meeting sponsored
by the Democratic Women's club
Saturday.
In her talk, Miss Condor said
that as long as she is Superin-
tendent of Public instruction she
will work for federal aid-without
federal control-for the education
of youth.
She stated that education is not
only for the rich, but that every
person living in the state of Mon
tana is entitled to an education;
that under the program proposed
by the present state Republican
administration, only those who are
financially able to afford private
schools would be able to secure
educational privileges for their
children.
With the entire school finan-
cial responsibility falling upon the
ltiQ4 NlO0d1 gully di10 SSiloO4 0lo-
trict, as proposed by the Cover
nor, Miss Condor said, the tax
burden would be entirely unbear-
able. Further, it would be i'm
possible for the county and school
districts to maintain the high STAN
dard educational program we now
enjoy, including such advantages
as the school lunch program, shop,
and the broad home economics
program.
Miss Condor was requested to
explain the oil-school lands issue,
which she did in a very enlight-
ening manner. In summing up,
Miss Condor pointed out that,
while oil leasing could not be
maintained at the peak it hit a
few years ago, the state could
not have lost ten million dollars,
or any other amount of money, as
the bulk of the oil and other ma
tural resources are still deposited
underneath the soil, where they
have been for millions of years.

Hold Meeting

At their Sunday evening de-

cussion entitled Help in Grow

when she said, I'VE are careful
to nourish our bodies so as to
grow normally in a physical way,
but there are times when we
leave our emotional development
to chance" Then she asked, SIS
it any wonder that we have so
many immature adults?"
Others taking part in the panel
discussion were as follows: Ronnie
Peterson took the part of Mi.
Doubter: Miss Bad Temper was
represented by Rose Marie Swi-
CART; Robert Campbell represented
MIR. Bully; Miss Judy Anderson
portrayed the part of Miss Flirt;
and Miss Louise Weaver took the
part of Miss Adverse Criticism.
1t was stated that each of the
characters represented had known
in their hearts that what they
were doing was wrong, but did
not have the will power to over
come their weaknesses until they
read their MYF Devotional book
let called Power" and it was
then discovered that Christ was
able to help them to become the
kind of people they so much
wanted to be. They turned to
Christ and became Christians.
Rev. Dutton, the pastor, added
a few comments in which he stat
ed that Christ always has had the
power to change the lives of those
who wanted to become Christian.

votional service. Miss Marcia
