He asserted the administration

that no private utility would
touch them with a 300-mile

His assault on the administra-
tons attitude toward conServa-
ton and natural resources-he
said it has reversed so years of
tradition--was made before the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors. The editors hree-day
convention is in its second day
in the Hotel Statler.
Senator Goldwater. Republic
can of Arizona, answered Sena-
tor Neuberger in what became a
debate on the subject, What Is
"a Giveaway?" Senator Goldwater
said the giveaway charge stems
from the application of the big
doubt" technique and of twisted
facts.
In sowing the seeds of doubt,
he said. Senator Neuberger and
his colleague. Senator Morse, are
the best source of seeds he
knew of.
Colorado River Project
To support his contention that
public power gets the SKINNED
milk, Senator Neuberger cited
the Upper Colorado River prof.
ect. He said that. in that project
the administration "favors pour
ing $3.50 million of the taxpayers
funds into canyons which can
produce power costing 6 to 9
mills per kilowatt.
On the other hand. he said,
the administration will not APP
propriate any money for the Hells

He also assailed the admins
tration on the score of granting
oil leases on wild-life refugees
when an administration stop or
der ostensibly was in effect.
In the SO years prior to this
administration" he continued,
only II oil leases were granted
on wild life refugees. However
since 1858. despite the so-called
stop order, so leases have been
allowed on wild life refugees"
Serena Patents Criticized
He also criticized the action
of Secretary of the Interior Nc
Kay in granting patents to the
AL Serena Mining Co. in the
Rogue River National Forest.
No ore has been mined, he said
but more than 2 million board
feet of lumber have been GU, anu

Senator Goldwater defended

the Democratic National Com
mittee today voted to recon-
mend Speaker Sam Rayburn of
Texas as permanent chairman
of the Democratic national con-
vention, which opens in Chi
cago August 10.
The selection of a keynote
speaker-temporary chairman
for the convention was post
poned until meeting in May.
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler said he had
received written recommended
tons of two possible selections
for keynote speaker. One, he
said, was for Gov. Frank Clement
OF Tennessee and the other was
Senator Hubert Humphrey of
Minnesota.
There was no discussion at
the committee meeting beyond
the mention of these two names.
However, there has been an ac-
tive movement on the behalf
of Gov. Clement who has been
identified with the Stevenson
camp in the race for the party'S
presidential nomination.

has been strongly pro-StevenSon.
Members of the executive
committee said frankly after the
meeting it was deemed unwise
to act on a keynote speaker at
this time. particularly on the
selection of a pro-Stevenson
man. The national committee
and its chairman already have
been criticized by Senator Ke-
fauver and his manager as being
favorable to Mr.. Stevenson.

BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Stan Correspondent

BOSTON, May 26.-Fenway
Park, an unattractive chunk of
real estate to the Senators last
season when they won only two
of II games there, suddenly
seems like the garden spot of the
world to Chuck Dressen's be-
leagured athletes.
For the third time in as many
games here this year, they poll
iShed off the Red Sox today, Al,
behind the steady eight-hit
pitching of Chuck Stobbs, who
notched his third victory before
crowd Of 10,753 customers.
Stobbs, in achieving his first
triumph in three weeks, dealt
Boston its fifth defeat in six
meetings with the Senators and
also ended a personal chain Of
losses. Chuck couldn't win
against his former teammates
last season, losing four.
Tied for Sixth Place
The combination of Stobbs'
pitching and a nine-hit attack,
featuring a two-run double by
Carlos Paula, brought the Sem
atorS out Of the bleak environ
ment of the basement and left
them tied with the Tigers for
sixth place.
For 31s innings the Senator's
couldn't nudge a ball out Of the
tnfield against Ike O'clock, but
Roy Sievers brought that to an
end in the fourth inning when
he singled to left with one out
and raced to third on Clint
Courtney'S double down the
right-f1eld line.
Jim Lemon went down swing
|ing-the SIND time he has famed
in the 81 games he has played
but Paula took him off the hook.
Carlos doomed a mighty 400
foot double over the head Of
Centerfielder Jim Piersall, who
rarely permits a ball to soar
beyond him, and the Senators
had 20 lead.
In the fifth Ed Yost walked
and moved to third on Whitley
Herzog's single to right. Yost
scored when Pete Runnels forced
Herzog at second base with q
grounder to Billy Goodman.
Sisler Forces In Run
The Senators advantage
mounted to 40 in the seventh

NIPS REDS IN 18th, ri
Braves Held HitIess
Until 10th by 3 HurIers

MILWAUKEE,, May IS R.-
In one of the Strangest baseball
games of this or any other year,
the Braves, victims of a mo-
hitter" until the 10th inning,
finally beat the Redlegs, 81, in
the 18th inning before a crowd
of 22,936 fans at County Sta
dunn today.
Hank Aaron's triple and a sin
gle by Frank Tore broke up the
pitching duel inc which Ray
Crone scattered seven hits in
going the distance for Mil
waukee.
Johnny KlippStein pitched
the first seven innings for Gin
cinnati, and although he had
not yielded a hit when he de-
parted for a pinch-hitter in the
top of the eighth, he was be-
hind, 10, because of his wild
ness.
In the second inning, Klipp-
stein hit Aaron with a pitch and
then walked the bases full to
set the stage for a long, run
scoring fly by Tore.
Freeman, Black Follow
! Hershell Freeman followed
KlippStein to the mound and
set the Braves down in the
eighth.
Crone was riding a four-hit
shutout with two men out in
the ninth, but then Ted Klus-
zewski dropped a single in front
of Centerfielder Bill Bruton
Wally Post knotted the score by
slamming double off the left
field fence to score Jim Dyck,
running for Kluszewski.
Joe Black took over the Gin
cinnati hurting and retired the
Braves without safety in the
ninth-and for the first time in
recorded major league history
three pitchers had collaborated
in a hitless game over the regu-
lation distance.
The game is not a legal no
hitter, of course, for one pitcher
must do all the work to get his
name in the no-hit records.
Jack Dittmer finally got the
first Milwaukee hit when he
doubled with two out in the 10th,
