Griffith DELAYS
Yankee Talks
For Two Weeks
By BURTON HAWKINS
Star Staf Writer

SARASOTA, Fla, Mar. H.
Jim Kaat has been picked as
one of the Senator's starters
this season by Manager Cookie
Lavagetto, who says:
Give this kid one year of
experience, let him get his
bearings, and he's going to be
the best lefthanded pitcher in
baseball. In fact, I wouldn't
be surprised if he earned the
label this year"
Those are optimistic words
from a generally pesSimistic
appraiser, but Cookie found
what he liked in Kaat yester-
day as the Senators dropped a
10 decision to the Yankees at
st. Petersburg in a game halted
by rain with two out in the last
of the eighth inning.
He showed me the quality
of a great pitcher" Cookie
said, because he didn't have
his good stuff. Yet he did a
fine job of getting the Yankees
out with little more than his
motion and a changeup. That's
the mark of real good one.
Most pitchers, even the good
ones. will be slapped around
when they don't have their
stuff" Cookie continued. THE
great ones can go only for a
few innings until their fast ball
picks up zip. Kaat has that
quality. He's picking up polish
all the time"
Fight for Open Job
Lavagetto has named Kaat
as one of his starters, along
with Camilo Pascual and Pedro
Ramos.
There's a job open" Cookie
said, land it will have to be
filled by Bill Fischer, Russ
Kemmerer, Don Lee, Truman
Clevenger, Hall Woodeshick or
Ralph Lumenti.
"Kaat's performance has
awakened the whole pitching
staff" Lavagetto said. Now it
forces the rest of them to bat
tie for jobs That's always a
healthy situation"
A wide-open scramble for
pitching jobs is expected. Dick
Hyde is assured of relief duty,
but such hurlers as Ted Aber-
nathy. Chuck Stobbs and Fred
Bruckbauer, along with a swarm
of others, could be concerned
about cutdown time.

probably will not try to talk

Nixon Seen
Target Of
Moscow

Vice President Nixon has
been the target of the Moscow
press and radio since the time
last fall when United States
officials adopted milder ap-
proach toward Nikita Khru-
shchev when the Soviet Prime
Minister threatened to go
home in the midst of his visit
to this country. a Chicago
newspaper columnist declared
last night.
Moscow considered this
change in policy a repudia-
ton Of Mr.. Nixon by his own
Government and resorted to
tn cir old war mongering
name calling" Mr.. Willard
Edwards told the evening
study group of the League of
Republican Women of the
District.
Mr.. Edwards. who is assist
ant chief of the Chicago
Tribune's Washington Bu-
reau, declared that the Vice
President gained an advan-
tage in his famous Kitchen
debate" with the Soviet Pre-
mier But this ADVANTAGE was
soon lost, he added, when
United States officials dis
pensed with the counter
propaganda offensive that
characterized the first part of
the Soviet Premier's visit.
lmost Immediately" he
added, the Soviet press
turned from a favorable to an
unfavorable reaction to Mr..
Nixon"
Mr.. Edwards said the coun-
propaganda campaign was
suggested to President Eisen-
hover by Mr.. Nixon on his re-
turn from Russia because he
felt his debating experience
with the Premier proved that
was the only way to deal with
Mr.. Khrushchev. And that
was to be tough, hard bar
gamer. giving him as good as
he dished out, never giving
the impression of yielding or
surrendering."
Substituting a milder policy
was a bad mistake" Mr.. Ed
wards concluded, because it
only increased Mr.. Khru-
shchev's arrogance and de-
mandS."
