/ Pathological Protection and the
National Committee on Radia-
ton and Measurements. The
international MPC is 80 micro
microcuries Of strontium 90 for
each quart Of milk; the ma
tional MPC is 80.
st. Louis milk is nudging the
80 mark, but it's q long way
from the national MPC Of 30.
These figures. as might be
expected, are the subject of
controversy. One group Of dis
tinguished scientists say drink
80 before you begin to worry.
Another says worry at 80.
The fact is MPC levels are
based on a little science, a little
gueSswork and a lot Of expedi-
ency. Members of two COM
mittees have said as much dur
ing public hearings before the
Joint Congressional Committee
on Atomic Energy.
MPCs are just handy alert
signs for people dealing In ra-
dioactive materials. No one
knows II they represent safety
or undue risk.
The MPC. at any rate, is APP
piled only to total food intake
over q period Of at least so
years. People in st. Louis, the
worst food hotspot known, viii
not know what their other food
intake is until the new studies
are finished. But they do know
that natural decay and body
elimination Of strontium 30 will
cut the amount in their bodies
in half in 10 years.
So II there is no more test
ing. they will not carry a near
MPC dose with them for so
years and will be considered
"safe"-at least by the shaky
MPC standard.

Dykes Likely

DETROIT, Sept. 7 (AP).-
General Manager Rick Terrell
said today he will select the
Tigers 1860 manager when the
club returns home from its cur
rent road trip.
Chances are it will be Jim
Dykes, who has led the Tigers
to a 67-52 mark since he took
over for Bill Norman on May 3.
II don't want to look ahead
to 1860 too soon," said Terrell,
who brought Dykes here from
the Pirates coaching lines
after dismiSsing Norman.
The Tigers, 2-l5 under Nor
man, are two games over the
500 mark and have a good
chance to finish third.
Dykes has done a tremen-
dous job" Terrell said. HE
was a little rusty on the Amer
lean League when he came
here. He knew little of his
own ball club. But he learned
quickly, and I'm we'll pleased
with the job he has done"
Dykes, who will be SO in No
vember. had made it plain he
would like to return here in

Fifty-Third avenue. Bladens-
burg.
The Maryland players were
informed of their teammate's
death at a meeting yesterday,
but most Of them had heard
the news on the radio or tele-
vision.
Coach Tom Nugent was at a
loss as to which way to turn.
1t was the first football death
he ever had been connected
with. AS far as is known, it
was the first collegiate football
death in the Washington area.
When Nugent reported to
Maryland in February he was
told all the boys had been ex-
amined after the 1858 season,
but he insisted on a re-exami-
nation before spring practice.
Entire Squad Rechecked
The entire squad went through
another physical last Monday
at the university infirmary, and
in addition received flu and
tetanus shots. the latter for the
first time in a group.
Lohr, 6-foot-2 and slightly
heavier than the 204 pounds

HEAT FATAL FOR SOPH CENTER
Terp Squad to Attend
Sonny Lohr Funeral
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star stan Writer

The University Of Maryland
football squad and coaching
staff will attend funeral serv-
ices Wednesday afternoon in
the campus chapel for Charles
Sonny Lohr, who died at
$50 am. Sunday at University
Hospital in Baltimore.
Lohr. l9-year old sophomore
center candidate from Bladens-
burg High School, suffered a
heat stroke as the players were
leaving the field following prac-
tice last Wednesday afternoon.
He was on the critical list
at Prince Georges Hospital
from $50 pm. Wednesday until
he was transferred to Univer-
sity Hospital Saturday morn
ing, where his condition re-
manned critical.
Conscious Only Briefly
Lohr never regained con-
seriousness for more than a few
minutes at a time. DR.. William
A. Holbrook, jr.. said Lohr's
axillary temperature when he
entered the hospital was l08
degrees, and his oral tempera-
ture would have been even
higher.
DR.. Holbrook spent most of
312 days and nights at Lohr's
side and was aided by special
lists at Prince Georges and q
staff of eight doctors at the
Baltimore Hospital. He said he
was encouraged and amazed at
the progress Lohr made last
Thursday.
However, the extreme tenn
perature took a toll of various
organs of the body. and the
medicines gradually lost their
effectiveness. They never were
able to maintain Lohr's blood
pressure. Heat destroyed the
CLOTHING mechanism of the
blood, DR.. Lohr said.
Lohr's funeral will be only
the second held from the Uni
versity Of Maryland chapel.
The other was that of Alma
Preinkert. the registrar who
was murdered two years ago.
Services will be conducted
by the Rev. Roy Stetler of the
Cheverly Community Church.
Burial will be at Fort Lincoln
Cemetery.
DR.. Holbrook said that elm
ically there was no evidence
that Lohr'S death was caused
by anything but a heat stroke.

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c..
Sept. You can't prove it by
the Redskins l-3 exhibition
record, but Coach Mike Nixon
still insists cts good football
team"
1t was anything but good in
dropping a 52-14 decision to
the Chicago Bears at Jackson
vile, Fla. Saturday night be-
fore 28.245 fans. And it may
have more trouble against the
Green Bay Packers here this
week end. But Mike is conf
dent he'll have most of the
wrinkles ironed out before the
league season begins.
Les Walters, a defensive
halfback. and two rookie ends,
Bob Wetoska of Notre Dame
and Fred Hood of Northeast
Oklahoma. were dropped today
as Nixon shook up the squad.
Halfback Ed Sutton was pro-
NOTED to the first team ahead
OF both Mike Sommer and Dick
James. and Will Renfro was
moved from offensive tackle to
guard, with Don Boil returning
to his old place at tackle.
Scrimmage Tomorrow
Nixon ordered double-header
practice sessions for the next
three days. with a full-scale
scrimmage tomorrow.
We're starting from scratch,
beginning all over again." Mike
said. 1--WE haven't co-ordi-
mated our defense as well as I
hoped we would. Well spend
the mornings exclusively on
that, and the afternoons on
offense."
Chuck Cherundolo, who
coached the defensive backs in
training camp, has rejoined
the squad for at least this week,
and may spend few days with
it when the Redskins return to
Washington next week.

nj STUMBLING
May Set New
Low for FLAG

The team that eventually
captures the National League
pennant could be the "chees-
lest" champion in the modern
major league history.
That goes for the Giants,
Dodgers. Braves or Pirates.
At present. it doesn't look
like any of these four contend
ers really want it. Just look
how each has Jared in the last
two weeks:
San Francisco has lost eight
of Is and still leads the rest by
three games.
Los Angeles has lost eight Of
Is, too, and is in second place,
a hah-game in front Of the
Braves.
Milwaukee has lost seven of
IL and is two lengths ahead of
the Pirates. who have won six
of II but have dropped four of
their last five and trail the
Giants by So games.
Braves Gain Ground
All but the Braves lost yes
terday. Milwaukee defeated
Cincinnati. 60, but st. Louis
shut out San Francisco. 10:
Philadelphia shaded Pitts
burgh, 81; and Chicago swept
a double-header from Los An
geles, 80 and So.
The Giants won-lost record
is 1850. Should they continue
at their present pace, they will
wind up with 1858 for a $50
percentage.
The lowest percentage for a
champion is .578, posted by the
champion Cardinals of 1925,
who won SO and lost IS. The
same record was posted by the
Browns when they won the
American League flag in 1914.
Error Beats Leaders
Larry Jackson was the
Giant killer yesterday. The
highlander spaced five singles
as he chalked up his 18th VIC
tbry. Young Mike Mccormick
was almost as good. The Giant
southpaw allowed only four
hits, and st. Louis only run
was unearned. In the eighth
Don Blasingame singled and
raced to third when Leftfielder
Orlando Cepeda's return throw
rolled into the Giants dugout.
Alex Grammas laid down a
beautiful squeeze bunt, scoring
Blasingame.
A pair OF three-run hOmerS
accounted for the Dodgers
double loss. Ernie Banks wal
loped his seth homer, with two
aboard in the 10th inning of
the opener to break up a score
less duel between the Cubs
Art Ceccarelli and the Dodgers
Sandy Koufax.
Walt Moryn cracked a homer
with two mates aboard in the
ninth inning of the nightcap
to enable the Cubs to overcome
a 80 deficit. Don Drysdale,
who had bailed out starter
Larry Sherry in the eighth
when Banks socked his 40th
homer, was the victim OF
Moryn's blow. 1t was Don's 18th
loss, sixth in a row.

Miracle Bid

The statistics show it is vir-
tually impossible for Cleve-
lands Tito Francona to win
the American League batting
title, and the standings show
his team has about the same
chance of beating out Chicago
for the pennant.
Yet Francona hasn't given
up trying to accomplish both.
1t would be a miracle, but
miracles have happened before
in baseball.
Thanks to Francona and
three other Indians - Vic
Power, Woody Held and Jim
Grant-the Indians still are
breathing today, although they
are four and one-half games
behind the White Sox with
only 20 games left to play.
This quartet was RESPONSE
BILE for Cleveland's 81 triumph
yesterday. it's second straight
one-run decision over Chicago.
Had the Indians lost those two,
they would have dropped
eight and one-half lengths be-
hind and extinction would have
been certain.
