BOSTON, Dec. 1.-THE new
Washington Senators stocked
Up with 20 more players from
American League rosters today,
including such veterans as
Bobby Shantz. Dick Donovan.
Dale Long. Gene Woodling and
young players just launching
their baseball careers.
The Senator'S and the new
Los Angeles Angels each picked
40 players at $4,000 apiece.
They were required to choose
10 pitchers, two catchers, six
inflelders and four outnelders.
In addition, six others were
chosen regardless Of position.
OF these six, Washington
tapped two more outfielders.
two infielders, o catcher and O
pitcher.
Angels Pick First
Los Angeles won the coin toss
and selected Pitcher Ell Grba
of the Yankees. Among the
Angels best-known choices
were Eddie Yost. Bob Cerv. Ted
Kluszewski, Ned Carver. Duke
Mas and Jerry Casale.
It was not immediately es-
tablished whether the players
were picked In the order in
which they appeared on the
press releases. It also seemed
certain that some Of the play
ers selected by both clubs would
be dealt on in the very near
future.
Washington picked four
players each from Kansas City,
Baltimore. Cleveland and Min
neapolis, the former Washing
ton club owned by Calvin Grif-
nth. Three players each were
selected from New York, De-
troit. Boston and Chicago.
1t appeared possible that
Washington might open the
1851 season with Long from the
Yankees at first base, either
John Schaive from Minneap-
oils or Danny O'Connell at sec.
erid. Coot Veal from Detroit at
shortstop and Billy Klaus from
the Orioles st third.
Three Grabbed Earlier
o'connell previously had been
signed by the Senators as al
free agent. Two pitchers OBJ
tanned in the minor league
draft were John Gabler and
Ray Semproch.
A possible outneld for Wash-
ington was WoOdling from the
Orioles in left. Willie Tasby Of
the Red Sox In center, and
Marty Keough Of Cleveland in
right.
The No. catcher appeared
to be Pete Daley from Kansas
City.
Potential starting pitchers
for the Senator's appeared to be
Donovan from the White Sox,
Carl Matthias from the Indians.
Burnside from the Tigers, Hail
Woodeshick from Minnesota. |
Tom Sturdivant from the Red |
Sox. Sen1proch and Gabler.
Shants from the Yankees tin-
doubtedly will work almost ex-
clusively in the bullpen, along |
with Dave Sisler from the |
Tigers and Johnny Klippstein,
a Silver Spring, Md, product |
from the Indians. Also Sc.
lected as pitchers were Ed Ho-

French Turn
A|giers Mob
With Bullets
Fire Into Ground
As Moslems Rush
From the Cusbuh

French troops tonight fired
into the ground before a Mos
lem mob demonstrating in sup
port of the Algerian National
list rebel regime in exile.
The mob, swarming out of
the Casbah, the Moslem quar-
ter. scattered into side streets
when the troops started firing.
The demonstrators had tried
to march to another Algerian
workers quarters a mile away.
They shouted "Abbas to power"
and "Algerie Muselmane"
(Moslem Algeria). Ferhat Alb
bas is the rebel premier.
AS night fell, squads@of tough
paratroopers moved in and
took positions guarding the
exits to the Casbah.
A crowd of Moslems greeted
Associated Press staff members
Andrew Borowiec and David
Mason when the two entered
the Casbah. They raised Mr..
Mason's arms over his head
and cheered him when told he
was an American newsman.
This is the insurrection," the
Moslems shouted. I'VE are
fighting to the end"
Women Chant War Cry
Arab women shrilled their
wild '"you-you-you" cry from
|rooftops and balconies, urging
their men on in the ancient
and traditional war cry of the
Moslem world.
Other Moslerns told the re-
porters that troops killed and
wounded Enany'' during dis.
turbances In the night.
1t was one Of the widest
demonstrations ever to rock the
Casbah. It centered around
the Jewish Synagogue which
was looted Monday. Some Mos
lens began looting stores and
the crowds swayed back and
forth in emotional abandon.
Ambulances screamed from
the Casbah, carrying injured to
hospital.
At Oran, to the west. all was
reported quiet. A general strike
which paralyzed the city's
economy was over. The right
wing front for French Algeria
tFAF) which launched the
strike reScinded it.
Moslem rioters and the de-
termined resistance Of French
settlers have confronted France
with one Of the gravest situa-
tions in her attempts to end
six years Of the Nationalist
fight for independence.
123 Killed, 500 Wounded
No one any longer spoke Of
fraternity" between Moslem
and Frenchman following five
days of bloody rioting which
killed 1913 persons and wounded
more than 500.
The Moslems, who sustained
most casualties. shouted that
French bullets had destroyed
all hopes Of Algerian union with
France.
French settlers, fired on by
French troops yesterday for
the first time since the riots
began, vowed never to accept
President Charles de Gaulle's
plan for home rule in Algeria.
Gen. de Gaulle cut of his
tour Of Algeria a day early
and returned home in Paris,
announcing he will stand by his
plan to end the fighting.
I'VE have only one policy
and it is necessary to follow it,"
he said. 1T is the good one."
Gen. de Gaulle left from an
airport a few miles outside
Bone, where French foreign
legionnaires fired on Moslems
and then directed point-blank
fire at marching European
settlers.
Among the dead were seven
Moslems and two Europeans.
Fifty-flve persons were wounded.
In Oran, in western Algeria,
II Moslems were wounded in
clashes with troops. Riot po-
lice threw conclusion grenades
among Europeans demonstrat-
ing against Moslem NATIONAL
lists.

Mrs. Phipps loved the garden and knew
every flower and every one of its $50 species

and the great Long Island estates were being
sold for housing developments, she wor-
ried that this beautiful estate might be
