He is quick to point out, however,
that Russell is a very clean player.
All MIA teams have centers
nearly as big as wit Chamberlain,
but wits tremendous ability is
what makes him 50 superior to
rivals in scoring, rebounding,
blocking shots and setting up scor-
ing plays for his teammates, Paul
Arizen, Tom Cola, Woody Saulds-
berry, Guy Rodgers, Andy johnson,
Joe Grabowsl1i, Ennis Beck and
Joe Rutlick.
How They Compare

We just returned from Q most
pleasant trip from Las Vegas and
while we never drink nor gamble
one can stin enjoy the beauties
Of the Silver State.
This IL my first trip back In
little over two years and the big
surprise was the change Of the
city. Buildings that were only five
or six years old are being torn
down to build high and larger
places.
We attended all the shows and
just about met all the friends I
left behind.
Have a rundown as to what Is
showing and playing at the clubs:
Sahara has Marlene Dietrich,
looking more beautiful than ever.
She admits being so.
Sands Hotel, has my good friend
Nat King Cole. Sings about a
dozen songs and ends doing some
rock n roll songs too. After the
show we paid him a visit in his
dressing room and did a little rem
iniscing. Sends his regards to his
many friends and followers in the
Twin Cities.
The FL Rancho has the an-time
mite club favorite Joe Z. Lewis.
Lewis likes his liquor 50 well that
ne even INDUCES in the stuff whine

goes my heart-and I think there
goes my liver, too"

Shecky Greene Is doing q lounge
act at the Tropicana. Spotting us
he says: Say hello" to Jimmy

(Greene used to play every year at
the Starlight on Sixth street).
The main attraction at the Trop-
icana of course is "Follies Ber-
gere" which should play at least
a year.
The fabulous Louie Prima and
his wife Kelly Smith are packing
'em in at the Desert Inn. It thrilled
me when they dedicated all there
songs to yours truly.
The Flamingo Hotel has Gisele
Mackenzie and Jack Carter. Car
ter says" You've heard about
these hotel owners being elusive.
I can get my bosses out here with

This is a town of wandering
dead. At $50 am. people will say:

My good friend Gene Austin, who
started fame many years ago by

At the Stardust is the home Of

M0Y Use Aaron
Al Second Base

Milwaukee (ANP) - Manager
Charlie Dresser said here last week
he may ask outfielder Hank Aaron
to take over the Milwaukee Braves
second base chores II other can
didates for the position fail to
measure up. He added, however,
that he wouldn't press Hank be-
cause he wanted him to be in the
best frame Of mind for the 1860
season.
The 1859 National League bat
ting champion, Aaron once played
second base during his stint In the
minors, and filled In briefly for
third baseman Ed Matthews last
season.
Red Schoendiest, the Braves
regular second baseman, suffered
an attack Of tuberculosis and saw
action only briefly toward the end
Of the season. The decision to use
Hank at the trouble spot will be
based on whether Scheondiest win
be able 10 play enough games.
Red says he'll play 100 games

I'm stin figuring on filling second
base with what we've got" Vet

One ballplayer whose name In
variably pops UP whenever there
Ia talk Of baseball Is Ernie Banks,
the slender but awesome slugger
Of the Chicago Cubs. And for good
reason. Banks has been mistreat-
ing National League pitchers for
the past seven years and recently
has developed into one Of the finest
defensive stars Of the game.
Breaks Own Record
To cite only a few Of Ernie's
achievements In the big show are
the fact that he has become the
first National Lacquer to win the
senior circuits Most Valuable
Player award twice in succession
Che drove in a total Of 272 runs,
whaclSed a total Of 90 home runs
and batted .313 and .3O4 in the two
seasons - 1858 and '59); estab-
hshed new shortstop homerun re-
cords, and tied with the immortal
Babe Ruth, among others, for the
most bases-loaded homeruns hit by
a shortstop in a single season. It
takes the average ballplayer five,
perhaps six seasons to equal Ern-
les total Of rIns-batted-in in the
two seasons. Others play a life
time without making any additions
to the record books.
But that wasn't all. Before the
80 season was completed, Ernie
had established two fielding re-
cords for shortstop, committing
only IL errors, the fewest ever
posted by any player at that posi-
ton in National League history.
And all this without any minor
league experience.
Product OF Negro League
Banks has never played in the
minors in organized baseball. He
was drafted straight from the
Kansas City Monarchs Of the Ne
gro American League, disproving
the oft-heard criticism that the
NAL els no good" He reported to
the Cubs in mid-September in 1853
and Immediately set out to prove
that he was to be reckoned with
as a hitter.
1t took just two years for Ernie
to acquire the seasoning necessary
to become one of the games great
est stars. In IS, he established a
new homerun record for shortstop
by smuggling A roundtrippers. He
has been lettering the mark ever
since. For instance, he clobbered
At homeruns in 1858, and fell off
two markers in SO with As, but
increased his RBI production by
IA. There are those who believe
he will top the At mark in go and
also hike his RBI total.
Ernie himself is noncommittal

A BOWLING BALL SPEAKS
By Dot Haas From The Woman
Bowler
Night after night thousands of
bowling balls are rolled down the
lanes and night after night they
are blamed when averages take a
dive. Did you ever wonder what
the balls would say to US IL they
could talk? Sit back and relax
while we listen to the bowling
balls story.
Here I am again, sitting on the
rack waiting for the league to
start. My name is Pal as you
can see. The name suits me fine
for my Nom and I have been Pals
for a long time, especially since
she saw Marion Ladewig on tele-
vision and noted that she patted
her ball. I get a pat quite often
and that sure gives me confidence.
I try my best everywhere we go
and we sure have been plenty Of
places. Going to the WIBC champ
ionships have had, train, plane
and auto rides to many big cities.
Most Of the time we went for
the ride, but it is a wonderful way
to Sc this country Of ours.
There are some nights when I
do not live UP to my name. I was
a little scared last season when my
Nom threatened to throw me into
Raritan. Boy, but she decided to
buy a new pair of shoes instead
and now we are all clicking to-
gether. ... ...
CAV is sitting next to me and
boy, does he have trouble-one
split after another. Do you know
what I think? He should reduce.
He is too heavy and his owner
just can't handle him correctly,
Lots of bowlers think they need
a heavy ball to knock the pins
down, but a lighter one will do
Just as we'll If it is delivered cor
rectly. When I asked him If he Is
ready for a big night, he shook
his head and said he thought he
was ready to be turned in for II
he got too many splits tonight he
would not be working for that gal
any more. ITO be continued).

us. Refuses
To Release
Data On Nazis

LONDON (JTA)-An American
ban on release of information to
newspapers by the Nazi documen-
tation center in Berlin is being
supported by the British authori-
ties, the London News Chronicle
charged.
The newspapers German CORE
spondent said he had asked the
American controlled documents
center for information on the
former Nazi party affiliations of
two members of the Bonn cabinet
and on DR.. Hans Globke, head of
the chancellory, who wrote the
legal interpretations of the Nurem-
berg anti-Jewish laws under the
Nazi regime.
When this information was refus-
ed him on the grounds that infor-
nation was supplied by the center
only to friendly governments, the
correspondent said he asked the
British embassy to sponsor his re-
quest. The embassy, however, said
that "in view of this policy of the
u. S. A. authorities who have the
responsibility for the documents
center, it would raise obvious diff
ficulties for Her Majesty's govern
ment to sponsor your request"
The newspaper, which featured
the story under the headline: "U.
S. Clamps Down On Nazi Secrets, "
said the fact that Britain had no
control over the archives of cap
tured Nazi documents had come
as a shock to British officials who
had thought that the documents
center, although in the care of the
Americans, was a tripartite re-
sponsibility.

demption were employed, namely
"And I shall bring forth q. and
shall save and shall re-
deem and I shall take" Each
one of these expressions was de-
serving of drink on its own ac-
count. That was why four cups Of
wine were ordained at the recita
ton of the Hagadah on Passover.
(. This explanation may appear
rather artificial. The explanatory
comment by Rabbenu Sherira, the
head of the Acadmey. of Pumpe-
ditha in the 10th Century, is there
fore well taken, when he indicates
that the elucidation offered by the

arbitrary. According to this his
torian, among the Geonim of Baby
lonia there was historic reason
for the number of the cups of wine
for the Seder ritual. 1t correspond
ed to the number of exiles or sub
jectives to foreign rule, that Israel
endured in the course of its career
as a people, namely those Of
Egypt, Babylonia, Persia, and
Greece.
EACH TIME ISRAEL drained
the cup of bitterness. But the
draining of these cups was follow
ed by the drinking out of the cup
of salvation, symbolizing Israeps
deliverance from the yoke of
aliens. Only one exile remained to
be accounted for, the longest of
them all, that of Rome, which in
the davs Of the Gaon was not yet
over. That is probably the reason
why a fifth cup, the one designated
for Elijah, the forerunner of Mes
Siah, was placed on the table but
left undrunk.
What lesson do these facts teach
us? The enigmas of IsraePs past
are often resolved by analogieS
from the experiences of other peo-
ples. Thus. for example. America,
too, had it's struggle for liberty.
Yet in the days of Lincoln four
score and seven years had passed
-. DA214nnk;ova - TNIADAx,I
ence was issued, the black man
was still slave in "the land of
the free" Lincoln freed them. But
even since Lincoln's time they are
still not equal. Segregation and the
institution of Jim Crow is still a
part in many states of these Unit
ed States. All men are still n o T.
free.
THE CONCLUSION to be drawn
IS that the course of human prog
~ess never follows a straight line
Mans spiritual evolution, his in
tellectual and moral growth from
the humble beginnings, is not con-
tinual but intermittent. Man takes
a few steps forward and then re-
treats.
Jewish history, too, has pursued
a similar course in modern times
as well as in antiquity. The dis
ruption of East European Jewry
as a result of the dislocations pro-
duced by the first World War was
partially off S ct by the Balfour
Declaration. Then Hitler came and
with it the determination of g.
000,0 Jews. This was followed by
the establishment of the J wish
S tate. Jewish hopes were once
more on the rise.
IN ISRAEL ITSELF in the last
II years we saw this zigzagging
of hopes and despairs. Thus it goes
up and down. The fifth cup, that
of Elijah is poured but not drunk
One day it will. For it is the way
of freedom to be attained in stages,
not all at once. Progress has been
made. Israers emergence and the
ingathering of exiles is outstand-
ing.
Notwithstanding all-set backs
there have been indubitable gains.
There is every reason, therefore,
to hope that the complete redemp-
ton is to come and that the cup
of Elijah will also be drained, !
which will be the signal for free
dom for all nations. arsl.s
