cago White Sox baseball club last
year has been fatty rejected by
the teams vice president who con-
tends that Minnie is pretty well
paid,
Minnie put in the bid for the
raise recently, using as his selling
point his .3l6 batting average last
season. That average was the
highest one the entire team. But
in addition, Minoso hit 80 home
runs and drove in more than so
runs.
However. Charles Comiskey, the
Pale Hosers weep, refused to be
persuaded by these facts. He said
II think Minnie is pretty well
paid. l don't think his play at the
start OF the 1856 season justified
his salary. III grant that he finish
ed strong. But we could have used
some Of his September hits when
we were losing those IL in success
sion in mid-season."
Comiskey failed to reckon, how
ever, that Minoso was hitting just
as hard early in the season. Only
then his luck was bad. His would
be hits were in the direction Of op-
posing players.

nesses will have an opportunity in

Senator Estes Kefauver d.,
TENN
The former Vice-Presidential
candidate. together with a group
Of fellow senators introduced what
they called a good faith" amend
ment to the so-caIled Equality
of Opportunity" bill.
The Kefauver amendment is de-
signed to close a '1oophole" in the
Equality of Opportunity bill. The
loophole which is called good
faith" defense, permits any price
discrimination, regardless Of its
effect upon competition as long as
it is made in good faith"
Kefauver and his colleagues con-
tend that good faith" cannot be
considered a complete defense
where the probably effect Of dis
elimination is of lesser dimen-

Washington The pro-footban
Redskins are faced with a power
full boycott led by two Of Wash
ington's most aggressive organi-
cations unless owner George Pres
ton Marshall relents and immedi-
ately hires qualified Negro play
ers.
This revelation came at a regu-
lar monthly meeting of the Capt.
tai Press Club last Thursday night
at which Harry Wismer, noted
sportscaster, was the main guest
speaker. He charged owner Mar
shall with repeated discrimination
against Negro players.
I'm the light of the Presidents
Eisenhower order on desegre-
cation in Washington. and because
1t is the decent thing to do, George
Marshall should end the discrim-
ination against Negro players,
Wismer charged, at the dinner
meeting held at the 18th ST.
YMCA.
When asked to comment on the
Wismer charge, 1t Lawrence Ok
ley, president of the highly re-
spected 500 member Pigskin Club
and a u. S. Labor aide for 25
years, strongly limited at the boy
colt He said that just about
everything else had been done and
recalled how over the years, his
club had brought many outstand-
ing Negro college football play
ers to Washington with the hope
that Marshall would hire them. He
felt that they were passed over
because they were Negroes.
Mr. Oxley said that he would
ask his Executive Board, meeting
on January 18th to take some
positive action.
Eugene Davidson, President OF
the Washington Branch OF the
NAACP also spoke at the Press
Club dinner meeting and said that
his organization was going to take
some immediate action which
could range from a telegram Of
inquiry to an organized boycott.

chief reason of my returning to
Norfolk on the "Harbinger." We
passed the first cut of five miles
through the narrow neck separat-
ing Currituck and Albemarle
Sounds in the night, but entered
the second, or main canal, about
eight o'clock in the morning, so
that we had an excellent view of
this extensive engineering work.
For an hour before reaching it
the steamer piled up narrow,
torturous stream flowing largely
through Marshes, passing several
log RATS and lumber schooners on
the way. The "cut" is sixty feet
wide and seven feet deep through
dense forests with banks from four
to six feet high making the actual
depth of the excavation from eleven
to thirteen feet. With the Chesa-
peake and Delaware and Raritan
canals it forms the great inland
route from New York and Phila-
delphia to the South, many ves-
sells preferring it to the stormy
ocean voyage around Hatteras.
Nearly through it we came up with
a large raft Of pine logs several
hundred feet long in tow of an
ambitious little tug boat. "That
fellow is probably bound north"
said the captain of the "Harbin-
ger" He added that he thought the
fellow would go up Chesapeake
Bay to the head, then across by
the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal into the Delaware, AMI on up
that stream to Philadelphia. A
great many barges and lumber
schooners take that route, he said.
There is a lock of about two feet
flal where the canal enters the
st. Mary's, that figure represent

Spandau, built in the 10th

post, it was converted into a

however, Speer is a special case.
1t has been suggested that a
small cell block be taken over in
either an East or West Berlin
prison. and the block be placed
under four-power control much
as is Spandau.
On one point the West and
the Russians are in complete
agreement: further retention Of
Spandau would be farcical.

cost as the three top Hitlerites

Finally, the prison Is guarded
by $50 troops, the so-called Tex

When the seven top Nazis were
delivered to Spandau early in
1947. it was feared that Nazi
diehards might attempt a jail
delivery.
Pageantry Of Guard
In recent years. however. the
troops have been important pri-
marily as a relic of wartime
allied friendship and co-opera-
ton. The monthly changing of
the guard has taken on the
pomp and pageantry of the
Buckingham palace ceremony.
