The Milwaukee Braves lost
their fourth game in five starts
yesterday and saw their Ma
tional League lead trimmed to
five and one-half games, but
they shouted down suggestions
that they are embarked on
another September fade.
Milwaukee'S confidence that
1t will make the World Series
was supported by Spokesman
for the last-place Cubs. who
beat the Braves. 5-3. in 10 in
nings, to take their second tri-
umph in the three-game series.
A crowd of $500 watched
the game and some began to
recall anew the events of 1856.
when the Braves were edged
out 1by one game by the
Dodgers.

any serious difficulties for the

Althea Gibson was so discour-
aged she was ready to give up
tennis and join the Women's

While Althea's triumph was

surprise. Unseeded Nal Ander-

all-Australian final in two

Cooper. the champion of
Australia. was seeded No. l..
But he never was in the match
against the skinny Anderson.
1t was the first time in the
memory of veteran officials that
an unseeded player has won
this coveted title.
Miss Gibson's victory over
Miss Brough. a 34-year-old
Beverley Hills (Calif.) cam
paigner. came in the form Of
sweet revenge. 1t was against
Miss Brough that Althea first
gained recognition. 1t was in
1850 that she met Miss Brough
in a second round match. She
was within two points Of win
ming when a violent thunder
storm erupted. The match was
completed the next day and
Miss Brough won it.
Il wanted so badly to get
hold of Althea when it rained."

Six-Week F|op

Jim Lemon was regarded as
a slugger on the rise after he
hit q home runs last season,
but a six-week slump during
which he has batted Ito may
send the Senators bosses sour
rying for somebody to supplant
him next season.
Dangling Jim hasn't hit a
home run since July IS and his
failure to hit 200 in the 81
games he has played during
that span is discomforting. He
thumped across So runs last
year. but in the last six weeks
has gotten only six of his team
mates across the plate.
Lemon must hit to offset his
deficiencies afield and Jim has
collected only two hits in his
last five games and went hit
less yesterday as the Yankees
defeated the Senators, So, be-

He won't approach the
strikeout record he set last
season by tanning 1873 times,
but Lemon was more of a
threat when he was whiting
himself to an unwanted mark.
He has struck out 81 times, a
still pathetic figure.
Roy Sievers boosted his RBI
total to 101 yesterday, account
ing for the Senators only runs
of Tom Sturdivant with a
baseS-loaded single in the third
inning. Sturdivant restricted
the Senators to four hits. with
Sievers later adding a double.
Sturdivant required help

Honest People,?

Among the many points made BY
Nikita Khrushchev in his American TV
debut, one Of the most emphatic was his
call for more trust and less suspicion be-
tween the leaders Of the Soviet Union and
the leaders Of the West, especially the
United States AS he has put 1t, I'VE
should not look upon each other as rob-
berS, but we should look upon each other
as honest people" Unfortunately, how
ever, although this is a contamination
devoutly to be wished, and although it
may be realized some day, the Kremlins
way of doing things still initiates against
livery much.
Let us consider robbery for instance.
After the Second World War the Soviet
Union, operating with gun in hand, COM
mitted grand larceny against nearly a
dozen once-independent lands. It looted
them OF both their national freedom and
much Of their economic substance, and
to this day it holds on to its ill-gotten
gains More than that, as demonstrated
last October in Hungary, 1t stands ready
to use the most savage kind of force
against any Of these captive countries II
they dare to rebel in an effort to become
their own masters again and regain what
is rightfully theirs. Similarly, wholly
apart from this dark aspect Of Moscow's
policy, how can we regard the mem of the
Kremlin as honest people" when their
propagandists resort necessarily to the
big lie?
Thus, within recent days, even fol-
lowing the recording and filming Of Mr..
Khrushchevs appeal for more trust and
less suspicion, RusSia's government-run
press has been full of all sorts Of hate
America libels. Vast armies of us, ac-
cording to these libels, are unemployed;
millions Of us are starving; our children,
many OF whom are forced to look for
food In garbage cans" are deliberately
being taught "a spirit Of human hatred
and moral dirt" in program with which
our ''imperialists are trying to breed cold
blooded killers" and our soldiers abroad,
like the one currently involved in fatal
Greek traffic accident, are guilty Of COM
hitting murders" and other atrocities"
every day.
What all this adds up to, quite OBJ
viouSly, is dishonesty Of the worst kind.
1t is the sort Of thing that genuinely
honest people do not stoop to, any more
than they stoop to petty theft or armed
burglary. Yet the whole bleakly immoral
business still appears to be an integral
part Of Soviet policy, and as long as that
remains true, as long as the Kremlin re-
fuses to reform itself with basic changes
for the better, Mr.. Khrushchev's advocacy
Of mutual trust among nations will ring
hollow and achieve nothing.

Raising the Sights

The United Givers Fund has set It's
sights high for 1857, considering past
charity campaign goals, but the record
81 million target is warranted by reliable
estimates Of the areas urgent needs.
One factor in the enlarged budget is
the fact that eight new agencies have
Joined the fund since the last drive
an encouraging indication that united
once-for-all campaigning is here to stay.
The 81 million to be sought for l40
participating agencies represents $780,
600 increase in the goal since the flrst
campaign last year. The success Of that
flrst test Of united giving served to estab-
fish the UGF on Arm footing here, Just
as the principle has won acceptance In
many other cities. But the goal set for
this year covers only the minimum esti-
mated needs Of the member agencies.
Actually, 1t was stated, the total needs
OF all were estimated at STA million.
The lower figure was adopted as rea-
sonable compromise. We have no doubt
that Washington and the surrounding
communities will respond generously and
wholeheartedly to the UGF's second
annual appeal next fall.

White House Expansion

Major criticism of the plan recon-
mended by the Presidents Advisory Com
mission on Presidential ONCE Space may
rest on sentimental opposition to razing
the old State, War and Navy Building.
Tastes vary, as the old lady said when
she kissed the COW. We shall not argue
with those who like the State, War and
Navy Building. But we hope the disad-
vantages of its destruction will be weighed
carefully against the advantages. One Of
the greatest of these would be extension
(by closing West Executive Avenue) of
the White House grounds to Seventeenth
street Nothing could be done that would
add more to the reStful setting of the
White House than this added expanse
of lawn, trees and Shrubbery, together
with carefully designed Office structure,
on the State, War and Navy Building site,
conforming to the architecture of the
White House itself. The commission was
unanimous in its opinion that this plan
is the most efficient and best adapted to
the pressing needs of the President for
more office space although two of its
members were not in agreement with
razing the old building, possibly because
of the total cost.
| It is interesting to note that in the
commissions opinion the useful life
iof the State, War and Navy Building Is
doomed under any conditions. Repeated
reference is made in the report to the
fact that replacement of the building will
be required in the future because of the
high cost of its maintenance, its wasteful
utilization of Office space, and its recog-
nized defects in design, location and
condition. Attempted renovation Of the
building would be an economic waste,
with no compensatory advantage in saw
/ ing anything worth saving. Its demoli-
stion would restore some Of the charm
of the White House, lost by the errors Of
location and design of the State, War and
Navy Building about 80 years ago.
The report of the commission is re-
markable in its relative unanimity. It's
avoidance Of the confusion of minority
reports Is a tribute to the caliber of its
membership and leadership. Dealing with
q problem that has always invited con-
troversy-and presumably the invitation
is still open-the commissions solution is
singularly free of dissent. The degree Of
controversy inherent in the subject is
evidenced by history, and by the commits
sion's own inclusion, together with It's
preference for plan One," of full discus
sion of six other possible plans. We be-
lieve that any objective appraisal of these
six other plans is one of the best argu-
ments in support Of plan One" While
President Eisenhower himself and the
members of the present White House
staff will not enjoy the advantages of its
execution, their careful preparatory work
in setting up commission of respected
members, and consultation with emf
nent authorities, have paved the way for
a necessary expansion of White House
facilities that cannot re delayed much
longer.

Formoso Incident

The shameful Formosan
rioting incident is indicative
of what I have for some time
through inference and intima-
ton and in testimony before
a Senate special committee
been trying to convey to Con-
gress and the administration.
There are two equally cul-
pable factors involved: Through
the imbued philosophy inherent
and obtaining in our current
foreign aid policy we are
deliberately building up.
through emotional appeals to
the Congress and the people,
a vicious weapon for interna-
tional communism to effec-
lively employ. and which is so
employed with manifest de-
light. Our grants-in-aid and
soft loans" on a government
o-government basis. particu-
larry in neo-sovereign and
underdeveloped nations. are
irrefutably conducive to the
evolvement of strong state en-
terprises from which 1t is an
easy and logical step to an
all-powerful State-controlled
economy; witness Soviet Russia.
The alternative is. of course.
the development in these areas
of private initiative and enter
prise. the accomplishment Of
which can be achieved only
through dedicated and con-
tinuous effort on the part Of
ourselves and the recipients of
our foreign aid
A direct corollary to the
above is the economic, political
and social unrest and in
stability prevailing in these
regions and which in large
measure has been instigated,
aided and abetted by the resi-
dence Of large bodies Of per-
sonnet (civilian and military,
plus dependents) whose living
standards are so remotely re-
moved from those Of indig-
enous personnel that 1t is
literally quite tragic. The
Senate Special Committee to
Study the Foreign Aid Pro-
gram has. in its report, sug-
gested remedial action in this
respect.

I have lived and worked in
those regions abroad for Is
years. A practical approach To

are trying to help.
