Andy Cohen will run the team
tonight.
Sawyer said that he hoped to
stay in baseball but that he
doesn't want to manage any

His resignation severed all
connections with the Phillies.
However, Carpenter said the
door was still open for him to
take another position with the

General Manager John Quinn
said Mauch played for him

mended him to Atlanta as a

gressive fellow. and I'm certain
he'll do a great job"
Quinn said that before he
contacted Mauch last night
he obtained permission from
Bucky Harris, general manager
of the Red Sox, who own
Minneapolis.
Sawyer commented that the
Phils' present club is a youne
aggregation and eff some of
the players improve as l think
they should, the Phillies should

be unfair to both to try to
get him to stay on"

Sawyer surprised baseball
observers with caustic state

week. He drew a retaliatory
blast from Phils Infielder Ted
Lepcio, whom he described as
"one Of the worst ballplayers

The pen Of the Revolution,

paper, for all generations to see
and remember, the ideals and
beliefs which American liberty
stands for. The Declaration Of
Independence, written by him,
is one Of the finest pieces Of

the standards upon which our

based.
George Washington, the sword,

to victory, fighting toward his
goal Of a free, new nation. He
kept striving afterwards, as our
first President and supported by
the whole country, to put these
principles into effect.
Through the examples set by
these our leaders of liberty, a

EXPORTS TO CUBA were
curbed Wednesday. The Com
merce Department banned all
American shipments to Cuba ex-
cept medicines. certain medical
supplies, and food produced with
out federal subsidy. At the same
time the Maritime Administra-
ton made it illegal for American
owned ships to be sold, trans
ferred or chartered to Cuban in
terests without approval in adj
vance by that agency. The moves
came as the administration
handling of Cuba threatened to
become a major issue in the
presidential campaign.
= =
IN RETALIATION for the U. S.
embargo on exports, the Castro
regime is almost certain to seize
the remaining U. S. property in
Cuba. It may also formally de-
mand that the U. S. abandon it's
huge Guantanamo Naval Base in
eastern Cuba and even break off
diplomatic relations with the
y. S. The Cuban government has
already confiscated the ma jor
U. S. holdings in Cuba, worth
nearly one billion dollars.

gan in the UN's 99-nation politi-
cal committee Wednesday. Both
the U. S. and Russia agreed to

from their stated positions on dis
armament. Russia wants immedi-
ate and complete disarmament
