Doctor Fears
Pitch Fractured
Jones' Skull

CLEARWATER. Fla, Mar. "a
(R.-Willie Jones, third base
man for the PhillieS who was
beaned behind the left ear by
Pitcher Don Newcombe of the
Dodgers yesterday, may have q
skull fracture, his physician said
today.
The doctor said Jones' condi-
ton twas good this morning.
He added, however. that he
suspects" a fracture. He ex-
planned that no fracture is Con-
clusively demonstrated" but
more X-rays are being taken to
explore the fracture possibility
and also to determine the cause
of bleeding from the left ear.
Jones will remain in Morton
Plant Hospital while the OBJ
servations are being made.
X-rays taken yesterday were
negative, but the bleeding wor-
ried doctors.
The accident happened in the
fifth inning of yesterdays game
after Jones had ducked away
from the first pitch.
Jones had ducked on at least
two pitches in the second inning
before drawing a walk.
Newcombe shouted, Look out,
Willie" but Jones couldn't get
out of the way of what New
combe said was "a fast ball that
slipped out of my fingers" Jones
crumpled at the plate, bleeding
from the left ear. He was given

Snug, Shoddy Play
Puts VuIdiyieIso in
Dresser Doghouse
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Staff Correspondent

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Mar.
28.-In an effort to shake up a
complacent Jose Valdivielso,
Manager Chuck Dresser will
send Lyle Luttrell to shortstop
for the Senators today when
they seek to avert a seventh
successive defeat against the
lordly Yankees.

Luttrell has been hitting next

resembled the same sort OF

Dresser to fret. He's batting

Chuck if the Cuban could boast
of it next october. His fielding

Tito and the Hugging Bear

Despite his current "comradely" visit
to Russia, it seems highly improbable that
Marshal Tito will throw himself and
Yugoslavia back into the arms of the
Kremlin. After all, he and his country
have been there before, and the hard
lessons of that bitter experience-cul-
minating in the 1913 break with Stain
must still be vivid in his mind. And this
remembrance of things past can hardly
fail to keep him wary of bear hugs.
True, there are plain indications that
Tito is ready to establish closer ties with
poSt-Stalin Russia, but this does not nee
eSSarily mean that he plans to do an
about-face in terms of Yugoslav policy.
Why should he? Actually, If words and
deeds mean anything, the Kremlin'S
collective leaders" have made it album
dainty clear that they are reconciled to
that policy. They have done so in a
number of ways, including last springs
penitential mission to Belgrade, the ex-
tension of $500 million of easy credit to
Yugoslavia, the dissolution of the Com
inform, the Molotov resignation, and the
Discrimination program that continues
In full swing.
More than that, Nikita Khrushchev
and company have specifically declared
before the world that Marshal Tito was
completely right when he proclaimed his
"hereSy" of Communist nationaliSm and
defied Stain by affirming-and acting
on the affirmation-that his own or any
other MarxiSt country must be free to
rule itself instead of being a mere Soviet
puppet. What would it profit him to
abandon this position now? Why do it
when the Kremlin itself has given its
blessing to the course he has followed?
Clearly, especially in view Of the way he
has been wooed and rewarded because
of his independence, he would be guilty
OF sheer folly If he were to make any
such surrender Of his freedom of action.
So it seems likely that the Yugoslav
Communist chieftain, regardless of his
prospective new agreements with the
Kremlin, will keep himself basically in
dependent with his own brand of "neu-
tralism" between East and West. It is a
policy that has served him exceedingly
well up to now. Indeed, he has done so
well with it that Russias European sat
elites, as Secretary of State Dulles de-
clared some weeks ago, have reason to
envy him as man who is perhaps get
ting the best of two worlds" and maybe
they are asking themselves why they
shouldn't follow on the same path. At
any rate, some Of them must surely be
tempted along that line when they con-
template how successful and rewarding
his defiance has been.
This is point worth considering in
any effort to evaluate the significance
OF a rapprochement between Russia and
Tito. If he returns home with his indie
pendence still intact, and his prestige
