Calls for End
Arms Race
BY JOHN A. GILES
star star Writer


An organization dominated |
by retired admirals and gen.
erals expressed the belief yes
terday that It was time to stop
arms competition with the
Soviet Union.
The statement came from
"Arms Of Friendship. Inc.,"
which Is a people-to-people eff
fort to prevent war.
Gen. Jacob L. Devers is |
chairman Of the organization. |
He held a press conference. in
Philadelphia while another
member Of the board. Gen
John Z. Dahlqnist, former COM
mander Of the Continental
Army Command, held a similar |
meeting with reporters in
washington.
Arms competition, such as
that engaged in between Soviet
Russia and the United States,
has always, resulted in war,
Gen. Dahlquist said. We think
&c Is time for a change.
I'VE think it is time to do
something rather than spew out
aciond of inyectives that mean
nothing and accomplish no.
thing" Gen, DahlqriiSt said.
Positive Results Seen
The retired general said that |
actually the conflict betweenI
this country and Russia would
not make any difference to
him personally ''but / wonder
about my kids"
The Arms of Friendship was
i1augurated a year ago. Since
that time Gen. Dahlquist said,
1t has achieved greater and
more positive results through
direct personal contact with
citizens Of the Soviet Union
than any American organiza-
ton since World War II. The
purpose Of the programs Of the
organization is to increase in
depth and scope a genuine
understanding which will de-
stroy enmity and foster friend
ship between the two great
world powers.
Gen. Dahlquist said that a
large part of the troubles be-
tween the two countries stems
from misunderstanding and
that there was no reason why
the Russian people should not
be Informed about the United
States.
Pamphlets to Tourists
His organization has fur
nished 1000 tourists in the last
year with pamphlets to take to
the Russians. He said that
Moscow Radio had given wide
publicity to the outfits efforts
and estimated that upwards of
4 millionS, Soviet citizens had
listened to broadcasts about it.
The general emphasized that
the organization was non-poli-
tical and non-partisan but that
1t had the backing of the State
Department and the White
House
Massive military forces
alone cannot deter war indef-
initely," he said. Existing
differences between the Soviet
Union and the United States
will intimately be solved by
peaceful means or by the use
Of force.
To Seek Funds
what will happen depends
largely on how quickly and how
well the American people can
reach the Russian people with
the true story of Americas
peaceful aims"
Encouraged by the initial
success of the program, Gen
Dahlquist said, Arms of Friend
ship is now launching a cam
paign to raise 100000 to con-
tinue and expand operations
for the rest of this year and
twice that amount for 1860.
In addition to the travellers
program, a letter-writing pro-
gram has been started. A
translation service has been set
up at the Arms of Friendship
headquarters in Philadelphia.
Gifts and exchange of informa-
ton on disabled veterans are to
follow.

Driver Ticketed
For Shaving to
Receive Heurinu

A court hearing Friday will
decide this prickly question:
Can a man legally operate an
electric razor and his taxicab
at the same time?
Police Pvt. James A. Haven
ner said no and handed Cab
Driver Roy j. Yancey, "a, a
ticket when the officer discov-
cred Mr.. Yancey running a
shaver over his whiskers on
the South Capitol Street
Bridge July 8.
Mr.. Yancey, who has posted
$40 collateral on the charge,
figures a quick shave is a time
saver in the line of slowly
moving traffic traditional for
that bridge during the morning
rush hour.
Mr.. Yancey, of 1853 Yuma
street Sc, was operating a
shaver which plugs into his
cigarette lighter outlet when
interrupted by Pvt. Havenner,
He was charged with failing
to devote full time and atten-
ton to driving.
1t is not certain yet whether
he will fight the charge.
Police Traffic Division Capt,
Karl G. Mccormick said it is
the first time in his memory a
driver has been tagged for
shaving.

Crow|eyDeath
Ru|edAcCidenf

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. IL
ZAP Joseph P. Crowley's
death was accidental, the result
of a combination of liquor and
sedatives, a coroner says.
Mr.. Crowley, a businessman
and former Yale football star,
was recently acquitted of man
slaughter charges by a Tokyo
court in the death of his BROTH
er-in-law and business associ-
ate, T. A. D. Jones. jr., As. Mr..
Crowley died Sunday, his 50th
birthday, when he was alone at
home. His wife and three chill
dren were at their summer
home in nearby Madison.
County Coroner James j.
Corrigan said yesterday exam
ination showed Mr.. Crowley
had taken about seven sleep
ing pills, and he estimated
from the amount of alcohol in
the blood that Mr.. Crowley
might have taken eight or 10
drinks.
A person probably could take
10 or Is sleeping pills without
the dose being fatal, the coroner
said, and the alcohol level in
Mr.. Crowley's blood was not
high enough to get him arrested
on drunken driving charge.
The coroner said that while
the combination of liquor and
barbiturates was dangerous, he
was surprised that it proved
fatal.
But it was perfectly pos
sible," he added, because of
fatigue. tension and other
factors Mr.. Crowley's system
was not as tolerant as it nor
mally would have BEEN"
"At this time I am calling
the death accidental" he said,
adding that there be further
Psychological reports, but he
didn't expect them to change
the ruling.

FB|Captures
Wanted Man
In Shower

= BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. IL
.(AP) .-FBI agents knocked on
the door of a motel early today.
A man opened 1t and the agents
caught one Of their 10 most
wanted men in the shower.
They arrested James Francis
jenkins, 38, an accused bank
robber who had chopped his
way out of a cell in a Phila-
delphia jail last April 80 with
a screwdriver.
jenkins had been awaiting
trial on bank robbery charges.
He was indicted for taking part
in the $17,730 holdup Of a bank
at Broomall, Pa. on March 4.
Tips Played Part
The FBI agents who made
the arrest would not reveal how
they were led to jenkins. But
tips from several citizens in
Buffalo played a major role.
Karl Brouse, assistant special
agent, said. He would not
elaborate.
The agents used a preteXt to
gain entrance to the motel
room, they said. Again, they
would not say what the pretext
was.
When they got inside, jenkins
was in the shower. Another
man. Henry Kiter. jr.. 81. of the
Philadelphia area, had been
watching television.
Pair Not Armed
Neither jenkins nor Kiter
put up a fight. They were not
armed, but a sawed-off shotgun
was found in their car near the
motel, the agents said.
The two had been at the
motel for several days, the
agents said. They were using
false names.
The FBI said jenkins and two
cellmateS worked for Is days
with a screwdriver to dig a hole
in their ceiling at the Philadel-
phia jail. Then they climbed to
the roof and lowered themselves
out of Jail with ropes made
from torn bed sheets.
The cellmates we're recap
tured quickly, but Jenkins re-
manned at large until today. He
had been on the most-wanted
list since July 81.

150-pounder who handled
the fast balls Of Walter
Johnson with ease.
Muddy originally went
up to the Yankees, who let
him 60 to the Red Sox. The
Senators got him in trade
in 1928. and he was a vital
cog in the pennant-win-
ming teams of 1924-5.
Ironically, Miller Higgins,
an extremely small man
himself, Is the Yankee
manager who traded Ruel
to Boston.
It Is popular TO suppose
that small bali players
burn out quickly. On the
contrary, the good little
men have lasted q long
time and the list includes
DOME Bush, who played ID
seasons In the American
League for Detroit and
Washington. DOME wound
up his big league career by
managing the Senators In
1923 and taking an occa-
sional turn ON the field.
Some years ago, there
was a centerfelder Mike
Kreevich, who was some
what bigger than Pearson
and some of the other
mites. Kreevich weighed
ITO but he stood only ST..
Jimmy Dykes, when he
managed the White Sox,
was fond of Kidding Kree-
vich. If the Sox were play
ing in a big park, such as
Cleveland's Municipal Sta
dunn, he would stand ON
the dugout steps before a
game and hold up q mois-
tened finger to test the
wind. II the wind was
blowing out, Dykes, making
sure Kreevich would hear,
would say:
We'll, you'll be playing
deep today, Mike. I guess
1 won't see you for quite q
while"
Then he would shake
hands with mock solem-
nifty.
Another tiny centerdeld-
er, briefly, was Nick Ire
mark, who played a little
for Brooklyn in 1886.
Casey Stengel was man
aging the Dodgers in those
days and, like Dykes, he
joshed his own player for
lack Of size.
When Tremark joined
the Dodgers, Casey told
him:
"As soon as we get the
grass cut real short In the
