Siebern for our fellow. Some people
say we didn't deal enough"
Here, again, it helps to have a
small knowledge of Stengelese. Nor
man Siebern is the promising hitter
who was shipped to Kansas City last
December IL, along with pitcher Don
Larsen. first baseman Marv Throne
berry and outfielder Hank Bauer.
In return, the Yankees acquired out
fielder Roger Maris C'our fellOw'O,
first baSeman Ken Hadley and short
stop Joe DeMaestri,
1t is no secret that MariS was the
key player as far as the Yankees are
concerned. Once, while Maris was
sliding into a base during an exhibi-
ton game in Florida, Stengel WINGED.
He breaks a leg and | lose four
players" he commented.
Siebern'S sin was his apparent
failure to play left field in Yankee
Stadium, which is the sun pasture,
with the expertness of, say, an Al Sim
mons. But after the Yankees traded
for Maris, a reporter asked him about
playing left field.
I'D rather play right" Maris
admitted. I've only played left field
four times, in my life, twice in high
school"
We'll, there you are." Stengel
pronounced, after hearing the report.
People say we don't make enough
deals and when we do everybody
knocks it. I.don't know if this fellow
is serious about left field-he says
he hasn't played it-but I've got a
rightfielder Hector Lopez who can't
play third base like we got him for
and he knocked in SO runs last year,
which is better than anybody else.
Il got centerfielder, Mr.. Mantle,
and so that sort of leaves left field up
to Mr.. Maris, don't it? But then, you
never can tell"
The Yankees of 1859 finished IS
full games back of the White Sox and

60 MANY interviewerS have asked
~ Casey Stengel the same ques-
ton, What happened to the Yankees
last year?", that the old southpaw
dentiSt-baseba genius finally blew
gasket.
You'd think we'd finished tenth
in an eight-team league" he pro-
tested. I'VE ran third, that's all, and
l was lousy manager because said
a year ago thought we had the best
club in baseball and | said so, al
though | didn't know we we're going
to be so short on RBI (runs batted
iD men and that my old 300 hitter
would be plinker"
To know Charles Dillon Stengel
is not necessarily to understand him,
although it helps. His "plinker" was
rookie second baseman Bobby Rich
ardson, who more or less won his job
on default from the slumping Gil
McDougald, and wound up with a
.3Ol average.
The Yankees did not expect a
staggering RBI output from Richard
son, nor did they get one C33 were
alb, but Stengel was unprepared for
Mickey Mantle's low total Of IS, Nc
Dougald's "a, the injured Bill Skow-

front-line pitchers, notably Bob Tur-
ley. Winner fthe Cy Young Memorial
Award after his 2l-7 season in 1858,
Turley slipped to an 8-11 pitcher
Surprisingly, the Las Vegas gam
bling line installed the Yankees as
favorites to win last winter The cham
pion Chicago White Sox apparently
were rated as too old and the runner
up Cleveland Indians too Spotty.
When the matter was brought to
Stengels attention, he replied in
his inimitable way:
We'll, now, it's nice to know that
somebody likes you, even gamblers,
and don't know. Four or five Of my
men played pretty good ball last
year. We made a deal: we traded

MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR JOHN DAVID MERwN
TO the
THIRD LEGISLATURE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
2ND SPECIAL SESSION
January ID, 1860 -
JANUARY 18, ]

attempted settlement of this prob
lem without thoughtful consid-
Grafton of various involved fac
tors may perpetuate existing evils
rather than eliminate them.
Sufficient safeguards have been
placed in the proposed bill to in
sure that owners of houses on
said lands shall agree to be re-
located in new homes to be con-
structed by the Government and
to be sold to them under a mort
gage plan to permit home own
ership of the properties at the
earliest possible time. I will not
agree to any bill which would
authorize or permit in any man
ner the perpetuation of the evils
of the unhealthy, unsafe, and in
adequate housing conditions
existing on said lands at the time
of their purchase. To purchase
land and then sell the land and
the su~perfciary houses to their
present occupants would, in many
instances, perpetuate the evils
and not eliminate them.
Acquisition of Public Recreational
Area in ST. Croix:
Again, at your request, l have
included on the Agenda an Act
to authorize the purchase and de-
velopment of land in Frederik-
sted for use as a public recrea-
tional area.
Other Bills:
There are a number of other
bills on the Agenda upon which
special messages have been sent
to you during the past week, and
upon which I shall not dwell
now. / am sure they will receive
your careful consideration.
During this important meeting
of the Legislature of the Virgin
Islands, / wish, once again, to OF
fer you my complete cooperation,
as well as the assistance of mem
bers Of my cabinet. I am confid-
ent that you will give to your
deliberations the earnest consid-
GRAFTON and thought which they
deserve, and that what you ac-
complish here in the Legislative
Hall, in this Session, will be of
lasting benefit to the people OF
the Virgin Islands.

Additional appropriations:
Continued from yesterday

I have tried to limit addi-
tional appropriations to be

priation Of $4,000 for a hotel

dition of disrepair; an appro-
priation Of $4,000 to the Pub
Tic Works Department to pro-
vide additional facilities for
the Alexander Hamilton Air
port; an appropriation OF

There ere = also / pension bills be
fore you to grant direct pensions
to widows of former Govern
ment employees, who have de-
voted long and faithful service
to the Government of the Virgin
Islands, but for whose widows
annuities are not available under
the Retirement Act. / recommend
these to your most favorable
consideration.
Lo-al Urban Renewal Program:
At your request, ! have placed

Sample Ballots

The District Board of Elec-
tions yesterday rejected two re-
quests that it take steps to con-
troll the contents of sample ball
lots.
The request had been made
by Carl L. Shipley, chairman of
the District Republican State
Committee. and A. L. Wheeler,
chairman of the District Demo-
catic Central Committee and
the D. c. Morse for President
Club.
Mr.. Shipley had asked the
board to take steps to prevent
George P. Lamb. an insurgent
Republican candidate, from
printing sample ballots indors-
ing himself and members of the
Republican State Committee
slate he favorS.
Mr. Wheeler had asked the
board to adopt the regulation
requiring board approval of all
sample ballots before they are
distributed.
However, Joseph Fairbanks,
chairman of the Board of Elec-
tions, said the board has no au-
thority under the law to con-
troll the contents of sample
ballots except to prevent at
temptS to confuse them with
the official ballots.
I'VE are not going to act as
a board of censors," Mr.. Fair
banks said. He added that as a
practical matter it would be
almost impossible to do this.

of Public Roads indicates that
the geographic layout of the
approaches to Chain Bridge
permits putting a double deck
on the span. District highway
planners have been considering
the possibility of making it a
double-deck bridge. Studies are
still being made, he said, of the
ability of the approach roads to
handle increased traffic loads.
Accidents Analysed
Anthony Ellison, chairman
of the councils Traffic Educa-
ton Committee, reported that
of the A traffic fatalities that
occurred in the first three
months of this year in the
Metropolitan Area, Distric
drivers were responsible for
lS Of the accidents, Maryland
drivers for Is of them, Vir-
ginia drivers for 8 and three
persons were killed by drivers
from other States.
Mr.. Ellison said the statistics
show that traffic accidents in
the area are "a family affair. "
He called for coordination of
traffic safety efforts through
the Metropolitan Area Council.

Cycle PoIiceCutS
As Injury Rate Grows

Chief Murray said the vul-
nerability of the motorcycle
officer cannot be overcome. He
said many Traffic Division Off
GERS operating motorcycles
have been forced to retire from
the department at early ages
because of serious crack-ups.
Another point that could be
considered, the chief said, is
that cars purchased for police
use today are cheaper than
motorcycles.
Meanwhile, of the 104 mo-
torcyclistS in the Traffic Di-
vision, .l6 who are now being
used to check the city's park
ing meters will be freed for
regular patrol some time after
July l. Chief Murary said the
District will turn that job over
to civilian personnel. who will
check the meters on foot.
The chief said other large
cities already have reduced
their motorcycle units for sim
liar reasons.

Washington Police Chief
Robert V. Murray yesterday
said he is taking steps to reduce
his motorcycle force, because
of the alarming number of
injuries" in recent years.
AS vacancies occur in the
units, requirements will be
shifted to cars, he said, al
though the department will
keep some motorcycles for cere-
monial functions and special
details.
The chief said the primary
cause of the accidents is the
growing volume of traffic on
Washington's streets.
Il think it is reasonable to
say that an officer is much
safer chasing a speeding vio-
lator in a car rather than on a
motorcycle" Chief Murray
said. AS an example. he men
toned the death last Sunday
of a motorcycle patrolman who
was pursuing a speeder on
Florida avenue. The police
man crashed after hitting a
streetcar loading platform.

the modern Office building
would violate the architectural
spirit of Washington. Commits
sion mebers echoed his view
objecting particularly to the
wide expanse of glass.
Vlastimil Koubek, architect
of the building, argued that the
proposed structure has a mod
ern grace and would be suitable
for the area.
MT. Perry described the de-
sign as "a usual building"
which failed to examplify the
character of the city. The COM
mission reserved decision on
whether to approve the build
ing.
In another action, the COM
mission approved the lighting
plans for the bell tower on the
grounds of the Marine Memo
rial. The tower, a gift to the
United States from the Dutch

ing and after World War II,
will be dedicated on May 5.

K-9 Corps Has Quiet Debut

WaShington's six police dogs
last night patrolled city streets
for the first time and found
them quiet but full Of curious
people.
One of the dogs, Won, patrol
ling the sixth precinct with Pvt.
Warren j. Flanagan, was sum-
moned to the scene Of a purse
snatching.
Precinct Sergt. Wayne M. Du-
vail said, Even though we were
a bit late in getting the dog
there, he ran a track through
the unfamiliar neighborhood
but lost it at an apartment
building"
1--WE are pretty certain that
he was retracing the steps Of
the purse Snatcher," Sergt. Du-
vail said. "He didn't have
enough to work on, though"
Starting tonight, Sergt. Will
liam c. Wright, in charge of
the men in the Canine Corps,
will patrol the city in a radio
equipped wagon to speed up
calls for dogs. Accompanying
him will be his dog, Prince,
and Pvt. John E. Drass with
his dog, Fritz.
Unlike Won, the five other
members of the corps met
nothing more than the stares Of
curious citizens last night.
The German shepherds, all
under Q years old, and gradu-
ates of the first 15-week train
ing course here, yawned and
barked their way through roll
call before taking to the streets
for a 4 p.m.-to-midnight shift.
They paid no attention as

to Georgia avenue from New
Hampshire avenue to Upshur

that you'll catch one tonight"
the chief told the recruits. "At
first, just try to be around at
all times"
Torrance P. Cahill, formerly
with Scotland Yards dog
training center, who trained
the dogs, said of the first grad
yates:
They are ready, but like
any raw recruit. they'll have
to get experiences on the
street. Nothing can take the
place of that"
Last night, as paSSerSby
stopped their handlers at
every turn, the police dogs
only learned that there is a
great deal of curiosity about
their presence on the streets.

BY CHARLES ID. PIERCE
Star Staf Writer

Senator Humphrey of Min
nesota last night denounced as
nonsense" that he or his sup
porters are guilty of racism in
backing a Negro for a top DEM
ocratic post.
His opponent, Senator Morse
of Oregon, has contended that
supporters of Senator Hum.
phrey injected racism into the
District primary campaign
when they selected Frank
Reeves as their candidate fol
Democratic national commit
teeman.
Senator Morse said this ac-
tion was taken only after
Humphreys supporters had
urged both candidates to select
a Negro for this position.
Senator Humphrey, in his
speech at the st. Phillips Bap-
tist Church, North Capitol and
K streets, said, Frank Reeves
is a truly talented, capable, in
telligent, competent and trained
individual.
Anyone who accuses Frank
Reeves or his supporters Of in
dulging in racism doesn't de-
serve the support of anyone.
I judge people by what they
have inside of them, not out
side"
Running Like Alderman"
Meanwhile, in a speech last
night to the District Police
mems Association, Senator
Morse said he is running like
an alderman in the District
primary race in order ito fight
for issues vital for the Repub-
lic."
He declared that the so
called local issues are issues
common to America"
When I run as an alderman,
I am running on great national
issues" he added.
He explained that he be-
lieves the filthy condition" of
the Potomac River is one ex-
ample of the national water
pollution problem, and that
the need for home rule in the
District is part of the over
all civil rights issue.
What problems do we have
in the District of Columbia
that we don't have in the rest
of the United States?" he
asked.

THEN WE drove back-al-
most to the Potomac-and
entered a seemingly impaSs-
able passage through the
woods. At times Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Trammell had to get
out and use a motor chain
saw to cut away dead trees
that had fallen across the
track.
Then we came to a knoll
140 feet above the river. Only
an expert would be able to
detect the remains of the
blockhouSe. Artillery on this
shoulder jutting into the
valley could command the
fords several hundred yards
up and down the river. 1t
was a successful gun en-
placement; the rebels never
tried to cross within its
range.
There were earthworks and
some of the red stones from
Seneca-that'S all.
But it takes no expert eye
to appreciate the view of the
Potomac. Upstream, in a di-
rection just north of west,
you can see the river come
through the CatoctinS at
Point of Rocks and the Blue
Ridge (broken by the Har-
pers Ferry gap) looming be-
hind.
To the left, or downstream,
you can see the river hurry
ing in white water rapids
toward the Great Falls of the
Potomac.
