THE umpire's the human

to yell at the umpire"
Umpires are very stole about
their whipping boy role.
Everyone yells to get it of
their chest" said Mr.. Hurley
a 52-year-old Irishman with a
permanent curve to his nose,
placed there by a ball on a bad
bounce. 1T doesn't make me
too mad, except when someone
says things not too nice about
my ancesors or yellS homer.
That means they think I'm
cheating and am afraid to call

Ex-football player Soar said,
Il don't get too mad at the guy
in the stands. It's usually some
character who couldn't play
marbles"
Washington's Pitcher Pedro
Ramos, often accused by OPP
posing managers of throwing a
spitball, said with a soft Cuban
accent, I'D hate to see anyone
lose his job. Even an umpire.

SQUAWK BOX?

Ever since Abner Doubleday

have plotted to kill the umpire
Threats come from mustard
mouthed fans, bat-brandiShing
players, f1st-shaking managers,
None of them means it. In fact
they don't even want to retire
him.
Rumbling noises came from
ball parks when a robot ump
was recently patented. Its en-
gineer-creator, Lloyd Knight
of Long Island, hastened to say
it would not replace the human
umpire.
1t could cut down on the
number of them, though, and
it would eliminate standing at
home plate where the umpire
risks being hit by balls, bottles
and fists.
1t was explained that three
cameras would relay pictures

monitor being watched by an
operator. presumably the UNI

Senator Coach Clyde McCul-
Tough, who was a catcher for
II years, said I've had lots OF
fights with umpires, but they
are an important part of the

His suit contended that the
marriage would deprive him of
the love and affection of MS

Blue Cross and Blue Shield
benefits the son needs for med

Status Disputed
Judge MCGUIRE said that, if
it was established that Miss
Sigmund is the common law
wife, she would have all the
rights of a ceremonially welded
wife. Mr.. Benton answered
that there is serious doubt
that she is his wife"
Mr.. Benton said Miss Sig
mund, who now resides at 1924
Fortieth street NV, has been
trying to marry his son since
October, 1856. Mr.. Shampain
said Miss Sigmund decided to
apply for a marriage license
here after consulting a priest.
The case had been impounded
last week in a rarely invoked
move. The action by Judge
Charles F. Mclaughlin closed
the court action to the public
and the press. But Judge Nc

Mr.. Bevan underwent a ma

in his rural home since leaving
the hospital February IA.
Although the nature of his
ailment has not been disclosed

With Mr.. Bevan at the end

prominent Labor Party figure
herself and a longtime mem

Mr.. Bevan, a fighting Social

BY JERRY OLEARY, Jr.
Star stan Writer

A Federal judge in Memphis,
Tenn, today signed a removal
order directing the immediate
return to Baltimore of Melvin
Davis Rees. jr., 81, accused of
Staying four members of the
jackson family and a Fort
Meade MD clerk-typist.
The removal hearing was
conducted at noon, Washington
time, before United States
Commissioner Leslie Nicholson.
Rees, a husky Washington
musician, entered the hearing
room accompanied by a Mem
phis attorney, Cecil Keltner.
but had nothing to say except
to his counsel.
Mr.. Nicholson asked Rees'
lawyer if the accused wished to
waive the removal hearing and
was told that he did not.
Thereupon the Government
called its only witness, Robert
j. Lally, assistant special agent
in charge of the Baltimore
field Office of the FBI.
Rees Is Identified
The FBI man identified Rees
as the man named last week
by a Baltimore grand jury in
an indictment charging him
with the kidnap-murder of Mrs.
Mildred Jackson, 81, and her
daughter, Susan Ann, 5.
Thereupon Mr.. Nicholson
ordered him removed to Balti-
more to be arraigned and face
trial on the indictment. The
order was signed later by Fed
eral Judge Marion Boyd.
ReeS sat quietly, his hands
clasped in his lap, during the
proceedings. He was taken i'm
mediately to a car parked be-
hind the Federal Building in
Memphis. United States Mar
shal George C. Harrison said
Rees would be driven to Balti-
more, arriving there early to-
morrow afternoon.
To Travel in Irons
The prisoner will make the |
96l-mile auto trip in the Gus
tody of Mr.. Harrison, a deputy |
marshal and a special deputy.
He will travel handcuffed with
a chain around his waist. 1t
will be a straight drive with
no overnight rest, the Asso-
ciated Press reported.
Rees was pleasant and smil-
ing when they brought him
from the Shelby County Jail
where he had been held since
his arrest June "a. He greeted |
photographers and newsmen
with a polite, How do you do?"
He was dressed in a blue suit
and white shirt with his black
hair neatly combed.

nouncing his candidacy for the

viii Deal Through
The President, calling at
tention to the Caracas resolu1
ton for mutual defense Of the
Western Hemisphere, made it
clear the United States in
tended to deal with Cuba
through the Organization of
American States. But he left
open the possibility that this
country might have to act on
/ its own to protect its interests
in an extremity.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he didn't
want to talk in detail now about
what this. country's policy
might be in view of the Eide.

for appropriation of American
property.
The President was both firm
and conciliatory in his com
ments on hostile Cuban actions
against the United States.
The United States has no
quarrel with the Cuban people,
only with the Castro govern
ment, he declared.
Cites Mutual Needs
The President said he thinks
Cuba and the United States
need each other and cited the
annual Cuban export of 3 bill
| lion tons cf sugar to this coun-
| try. y
The two nations should have
a very fine, mutually bene-
fetal arrangement, he declared,
and it is only the Gu an lead
erS' inexplicable actions which
are preventing this.
Mr.. Eisenhower is comforting
with his top advisers today on
the action he will take after
signing the Sugar Act just
approved by Congress. The
law permits the President to
regulate the import quotas on
Cuban sugar.
The President said the Sugar
Act had reached his desk only
a few minutes before the press

He said he is sure something
will be said if not today, early
tomorrow on the Cuban sugar
problem, and declined further
