THE CUBAN GIANTS were

THE CUBAN GIANTS were
Negroes, and good players.
They usually beat US. But II
wasn't their skill, 1t was
their clowning that drew the
crowd. There's no business
like show business.
The funniest moment,
though, came when Red
Schmidt, our second base
man, tried to stretch a dou-
BILE into a triple and slid into
third. Red was from another
town, but he had played Tor
us for several seasons and
was considered a hometown
boy. He slid toward the bag
in the old-fashioned way, on
his chest, right arm out
stretched in a cloud of dust.
He was tagged out-hu-
initiating enough-but the
play revealed something we
had not known about Red.
AS he arose from the dust
it could be seen that he had
lost his cap. and that was
not all. His wig was in 1t.
He was as bald as a billiard
ball.
Nick Altrock never got a
laugh like that.

Otley drive, Alexandria.
Detective Sergts. Nicholas
Beltrante and David Gould
said the costly lesson young
Barbero got in m-flamming
occurred in the following man
ner.
The youth was a student of
Bucci, when the boys father,
Navy Comdr. Francesca Bar
bero, was stationed in Norfolk
last year. Earlier this month
Bucci called Frank asking him
how he was getting along with
his music.
The boy invited Bucci to his
home and Bucci remained there
several days. Meanwhile,
Comdr. Barbero arranged a job
interview at a music school for
Bucci.
Subsequently, Bucci called
from Washington and said he
had been hired. He asked Frank
to meet him in downtown
Washington and to bring along
his accordion, valued at be-
tween 1900 and $1.700. In
order to show his appreciation.
Bucci said, he would take the
instrument to the music school
and clean it.
The detectives said Bucci
failed to return with the ac-
Gordon and Comdr. Barbero
called police. The accordion
was found in a pawn shop.
Sergts. Beltrante and Gould
said they forwarded a warrant
charging larceny after trust to
Buffalo. N. Y. where Bucci is
in custody on a vagrancy
charge.

The people of America are
more determined than ever,
Army Secretary Brucker said
yesterday, to meet head on,
without appeasement, any
threats from Soviet Russia.
Speaking at a pre- Memorial
Day massing of the colors at
Washington Cathedral, Mr..
Brucker said he felt the people
of the United States do not
begrudge the administration s
SAL billion arms budget.
Never in my life have I seen
the people so unified and de-
termined that this is what we
should have" the Army Secre-
tary declared. I'VE realize that
there is no second place in war,
if it should be thrust on us
Either you win or you are a

He said he felt that despite
the cost of maintaining a force
capable of deterring an ag-
gressor nation, it is better tc
have a little too much thar

He added, 1--WE will not be
tempted into acts of appease-
ment in order to gain a politi-
cal advantage at home by set
ting ourselves up as crusaders
for peace"
Mr.. Brucker digressed from
his tribute to our war dead
symbolized by the array Of col
ors massed across the transept
of the cathedral. He said John
Foster Dulles, who died earlier
in the day, was a martyr to
peace.
"For six years he was the
No. / target of the Kremlin.
John Foster Dulles was just as
truly a battle casualty as if he
had died on the barbed wire
of the battlefield" he said.
Secretary Brucker told rep

Sutterwhite
Conviction
Is Upset

Donald w. Satterwhite's rob-
berry conviction was reversed
here today by the United States
Court of Appeals on grounds
the Government failed to prove
he was sane at the time of the
crime.
Satterwhite. %, of Laytons-
vile. Md, was convicted in
October, 1858, on a charge of
robbing another man of SIG the
previous January. He was SEN
fenced to a jail term of from
16 months to four years.
In an opinion handed down
today by Judges George T.
Washington, John A. Danaher
and Warren E. Burger, the ap-
pellate court recalled that Sat-
terwhite had pleaded insanity
at his trial last year and that
defense testimony showed he
was suffering from a mental
illness at the time of the crime.
A psychiatrist testifying for
the Government told a District
Court jury Satterwhite was
found to have had an "emo-
tionaily unstable personality"
while he was committed to the
hospital as incompetent to stand
trial after his arrest.
However, today's opinion said
that the trial record sis barren
of competent evidence on the
part of the Government to
demonstrate" that Satterwhite
was sane when the crime was
actually committed.
It AIDED that. with this in
mind, there should have been
a directed verdict of not guilty
by reason of insanity from the
trial judge. since the prosecu-
ton is required to prove sanity
when a defense of insanity is
raised.
The Appellate Court then
ordered that, unless the Govern
ment advises District Court it
is prepared at a new trial to
prove sanity in this case, then
District Court should enter a
verdict of acquittal on the
ground of insanity.

The
Rambler
Recalls
The Sond Lot
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The kids we're playing ball
in the court yesterday -
something that's no longer
considered a violation OF the
Sabbath. They were using
the white plastic ball, guar
anteed not to break win
dows. which together with a
bat is on sale in the drug
stores for less than 81.
1t occurred to the Rambler
that windows, at least, are
safer than they we're in the
early years Of the century.
The harmless plastic ball
had not been invented. We
played with a hard ball that
cost a quarter. And 1t could
travel of the bat.
No one will ever learn to
play the game with a plastic
ball or a soft ball. Not that
the writer succeeded. His re-
flexes we're too slow. His
knuckles are still swollen
from getting fast ones on
the tips of his fingers instead
of the palm of the glove.
We had our code. If we
broke a window we would
pay for it. / remember a
beautiful line drive I made
in our back yard. The only
trouble was that it went
through the rear kitchen
window of a house on the
next street, showering glass
over a woman who was
kneading bread dough in a
large bowl. That's where she
found the ball.
She was awfully nice about
it. We measured her window,
trooped off to a hardware
store had a pane of glass cut
to size, and took up a collec-
tion totaling so cents to pay
for it.
When we got back her
husband had arrived. He was
awfully nice about it, too.
We had purchased putty and
glaciers wedges, but he said
he would put the glass in.
We realized that he dis
trusted our skill, but we were

proved a bit difficult. This
was during a game in a va
cant lot around the corner.
Again I was at bat. 1t wasn't
that I could hit the ball fur
ther than the other boys, l
Just lacked judgment about
where to hit it.
I sliced a foul over the
first base line. 1t went
through the living room VIM
dow Of the house across the
alley, breaking the window
and an imitation Tiffany
stained glass lamp worth $l5.
The man was named Null
.lins-one of those quick
tempered 1rishmen-and ne
was furious. He came out
with his daughter, one OF our
schoolmates, and asked her
to identify us. We assured
him we we're young men OF
honor 1--WE we're about IL
years old and that we would
pay for the damage. 1t took
some doing, but we did 1t.
We had given him great prov
ocation,. we knew. But we
figured him for an old
meanie. He never did return
our ball.
That was in the city. We
spent the summers in a
small village which had a
semipro team. Merchants
and leading citizens would
kick in $40 or more to sup
port it. Admission was %

Institute. called for a knife
and somebody handed him a
hunting knife. He performed
an emergency tracheotomy--
cut a hole in the child's wind-'
pipe. A spectator handed him
a yellow rubber tube and he
inserted it in the windpipe.
Doctors tried breathing through
the tube but another noted
there still was no heartbeat.
DR.. Waldhousen, of the Heart
Institute and one of the most
qualified men in town for the
job, cut a hole in the boys
chest. In operating rooms this
is called a thoracotomy.
He began maSsaging the
heart and suddenly it began
beating swiftly-too fast to be
effective.
When the Alexandria Rescue
Squad ambulance arrived he
used adrenalin and a few mo-
mentS later the heart began
beating more normally.

Ross was put in the ambu-

ing the judge will confer with
school officials whenever SINH
lar cases arise in the future.
Il take it for granted the
(judge's) procedure in these
cases will hot be followed
again." DR.. Hansen said.
School attendance officials
last week had protested the
judges decisions involving a
15-year-old boy at Browne jun
ior High School and a l4-year-
old girl at Langley Junior High
School. After finding both tru-
ant, the judge permitted the
children to remain with their
parents and to stay out of
school.
Ketcham's View
Today Judge Ketcham re-
leased a three-page statement
explaining his decision.
Il can see that discussion of
my rulings, in advance. with
DR.. Hansen, might have been
advisable" the judge stated,
but our present calendar
schedule does not afford an
opportunity for such confer
ences at a time when they
may be needed"
His Office currently is trying
to find suitable schools for the
two youngsters where they
will have every chance for
success" DR.. Hansen said.
In his statement, the judge
said he did not order the girl
back to school because of her
"maladjustment" and her
mothers plan to have her
placed in a private parochial
school.
The boys "behavioral pat
tern and emotional problems
while in school" were the rea-
sons for not ordering him back
to school.

able for the court to try to
work out a plan for rehabilitat-
ing the youngsters and at the
