Zauchin's Smuggling Likely
To Block Shift Of Sievers
First Busemun
Bent on Erosinq
Bod Impressions
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star star Writer

ORLANDO, Fla. Mar. g.
Cookie Lavagetto's plan to shift
Roy Sievers from leftfield to
first base may be sidetracked
by Norm Zauchin, whose hit
ting in the Senators first two
exhibitions indicates he won't
yield first base without q STIR
ring struggle.
Norm came to camp deter
mined to refute the notion in
some quarters that his zest for
the game isn't all-consuming.
"A lot Of things have been
said and written" Norm said,
that haven't been compliment
tary. I want to prove they're
wrong"
Bothered much Of last season
by the after effects Of a broken
wrist. then by a pulled back
muscle, Norm finished as a .228
hitter. Lavagetto wasn't dis
missing him as a first-base
candidate, Of course, but he was
putting 1t strictly up to Norm
in exhibitions. So far the re-
Spouse has been encouraging.
Aims for .27O
I'm going. to hit at least
.270 and I'm going to bat in
a flock of runs" zauchin said
yesterday after the Senators
beat the Tigers, 81, in II in
nings at Lakeland.
Norm supplied a three-run
homer to tie the score in the
eighth inning, and the Sena-
tors won it in the 18th when
Ken Aspromonte singled and
Dan Dobbek brought him
around with a double of the
rightfield fence.
Norm also cracked two
singles, acquiring three of the
Senator's II hits. Bob Allison
opened the game with a first
pitch homer off Jim Burning
and later doubled to give the
Senators a 7-6 lead in the
ninth, while Clint Courtney
socked a solo homer and Aspro-
monte delivered two singles.
Lavagetto could have been
employing psychology in deal
ing with Zauchin. BY telling
reporters of plans to use Sievers
at first base, provided a hitting
outfielder turned up, the man
ager may have been trying to
arouse Norm'S ire and bring
out his potential.
Allison, Dobbek Hitting
| After two games Cookie is
delighted with some Of the
results. Allison is hitting and
so Dobbek. giving a hint that
one of them might come
through. Dobbek was expected
to start slowly, for he has seen
precious little pitching for the
last two years while in the
Army, but he has opened in a
heartening manner.
! Zauchin, however. isn't be-
having as If he's about to give
up. In the Senators opener

double in three chances and
now has collected four solid
blows in eight tries. There's

Great ISSUE of 1865

Secretary of Treasury Anderson,
addressing an audience of the Nations
top economists, predicts that the queS-
tion of fiscal and monetary discipline in
public policy because of both its domeS-
tic and international implications, may
we'll become great issue in the 1960S."
Except insofar as peace VS.. war may be
considered an issue, it Is unlikely there
will be more profoundly important one
than that stated by Mr. Anderson. It is,
in fact, an issue that has been taking
clear shape in this closing part of the
present decade-refiected, for example,
in what has become the annual battle
of the budget" and the often emotional
debate in and out of Congress on f1nan-
cial policies and economic theories.
1t is an issue on which the econo-
miStS can and do differ sincerely and
deeply. When Spiced with political con-
Siderations, despite Mr. Anderson'S
appropriate warning that "the stakes
are too high for anything other than a
nenpartiSan approach it is an issue
sure to produce heat if not light. Per-
hapS the greatest danger to the long
term national welfare is the possibility
that resolution of the issue will evolve
on political grounds, and it was signif1-
cant that Mr.. Anderson reminded the
economists that "the skill and objec-
tivity" with which they help to broaden
public understanding and contribute
their special talents to advising govern
ment may well be the determining fac
tor in the worldwide struggle between
economic systems and ideologies."
Mr.. Anderson'S position has been
well defined on numerous occasions. In
his view, inf1ation-either creeping or
rapids the number one enemy of suS-
tainable economic growth at home or
Of our present place of leadership in
the international economy. Persistent
budget deficits at home and continued
unfavorable balance in international
payments are elements of concern. His
determined championship of prudence
and discipline should weigh heavily as
debate on this great issue" continues
into the 1960S.

French Debate on NATO

Within the restrictive policy limits
already defined by President de Gaulle,
Frances Foreign Minister Couve de
Murville has delivered a relatively con-
ciliatory address on his governments at
tltude toward current stresses within
the NATO alliance. Primarily, of course,
these are stresses arising out of the
De Gaulle policy, and it was not ex-
pected that Mr.. Couve de Murville, in
debate before his National Assembly.
would reveal any, significant modifica-
ton. He reaff1rmed, for example. the
French decisions to retain operational
control of the French fleet in the Medi-
terranean, to remain outside of a unified
continental air command and to with
mold permission for Stockpiling United
states atomic weapons on French soil
nevertheless, the Foreign Minister
did offer one tangible step toward in
tegratlon and greater effectiveness of
the West European air defense system.
His government is prepared, he said. to
"enViSage" a common detection and
warning system against air attack, a
step which, he explained, would not in

addition, while reaff1rming the three
positions mentioned above, Mr.. Couve

conciliatory terms than heretofore and
expressed the hope that some mutually
acceptable resolution of the allied diff
ferenceS would be found in due time
On the status of naval forces in the

command and the Stockpiling of nuclear

his governments apprehensions about

Presidents Eisenhower and De Gaulle
repeatedly discussed these questions ear

solved sooner, they undoubtedly will be
discussed again when the French Presi-
dent visits Washington in the spring.

there is pressure for some easing of the

ground for hope that reconciliation of
views can be reached.

the Senate, he has proved himself hard
working as legislator and a practicing

BorrotY Laws
A. b. Little, MD.

The recent barfatry trial
Of Otto Tucker in Front
Royal pointed up an interest
ing question about barratry
laws. The commemorative
attorney during the trial
condemned the accused, dis
tinguishing his alleged ac-
tions from those of an Ed
ward Bennett Williams or a
Clarence Darrow by saying
that unless a basic constitu-
tional question, interesting
and dear to the attorney,
was involved, he must not
seek the professional en-
gagement. He said the de-
fendant was ambulance
chasing.
Perhaps barratry laws
should distinguish between
civil and criminal offenses,
so as not to offend the in
surance companies. There
might be some people who
thought that a minor child
in Jail because he could not
afford bail, who came from
an uneducated, low-income
family on the fringe hills of
town. might very well need a
lawyer to defend him with
his friends, who did have

Some people think that an
individuals civil and human
rights are in fact a basic
constitutional question.
Perhaps a lawyer who
ambulance chases with a
view to getting a suit started
might sometimes be in the
same class with a doctor
who nee dlesSly removes

lawyer who comes to the de-
fense of someone in need of

doctor who stops when he
