Lopez has a different view.
There is a way for a pitcher
to last, the good Senor says,
and Wynn practices it.

pitcher with a real smooth de-

Wynn is a worker, Lo-
pez says. He doesn't baby his

a lot and he throws a lot. And
he has looked great this spring.

Stanley Cup PIoyoffs
Go Into Family Finals

CHICAGO, April 8 (AP).-
The Chicago Black Hawks and
Detroit Red Wings open the
final series Of the National
Hockey Leagues Stanley Cup
playoffs in Chicago Stadium to-
highland it will be quite a
family affair.
James D. Norris is co-owner
and chairman Of the board Of
the Hawks. The Red Wings are
owned by his brother. Bruce, and
sister, Margaret Norris Riker.
They are heirs of the late James
Norris. founder Of hockey's
richest dynasty.
The Hawks, who eliminated
the world champion Montreal
'Canadiens in six games with
80, back-to-back victories,
have been installed as 13-to-10
favoriteS to win the opener of
the best-of-seven series. The
Hawks have won the cup twice,
in 1884 and 1888. The Red
Wings have won it seven times,
the last time in 1855.
The Hawks, who finished the
regular season in third place,
and the Red Wings, who barely
struggled home in fourth and
then whipped the runnerup
Toronto Maple Leafs in five
games, will make up the first
all-United States Stanley Cup
showdown since Detroit de-
feated New York In 1850.
Victory for the Hawks in the
series-which would bring a
$4,000 split Of the winners
;share-would mark the first
time Chicago has had a world
championship in any sport
since the Chicago Cardinals
(now moved to st. Louis) took
the pro football crown in 1947.
During the regular campaign
the Hawks defeated Detroit six
times, lost four and four games
were tied. Their triumphs in
clude three straight 80 shut

Wilson recognized the problem
when he came to office.
Those who want Kennedy to
exert his leadership, as we'll as
those who urge a course of eau
tious neutralism, both recognize
that the new President holds
the key to success or failure in
the battle to curb the filibuster
and alter the rules.
If Kennedy stands still, or re-
mains silent, the Old Guard can
carry the day easily. AS things
now stand there are probably
46 to SO votes lined up against
cloture. On the other hand,
there are only 33 senators firm
ly committed to changing the
rules.
But If Kennedy takes an af-
firmative position there are at
least II more senators who will
follow his lead. In that case the
liberals would have an edge of
possibly three or four votes.
It's that close. It is also for
that reason that Kennedy's
moves will be watched closely.

most Baptist bodies of the
United States for the constant
study and the active concern
which that committee is en-
gagged upon in our nations
capital.
"The committee is conf
dent that it also speaks for
the majority of North Caro-
lima Baptists in expressing re-
greet that there should also be
circulated among the Ameri-
can citizens slanderous, sour
rilous, and defamatory state
ments which are calculated to
incite the basal emotions Of
hostility and to appeal to
the uniformed prejudices Of
many of our citizens. Though
this is being engaged in by
many persons, some of whom
are Baptists, the committee
regards this spirit as being
contrary to the genius Of our
Baptist faith and practice, an
embarrassment to a Baptist
people characterized thrOugh-
out their history by the spirit
of liberation, of informed
judgments, and fair play"

THE OLD RULES AMI If1E
NEW PRESIDENT - Columnist
Joseph Alsop and others who
fancy themselves political real
lists are trying to persuade lib
eral Democrats to avoid fight
over the rules Of the Senate.
Alsop calls the fight over
procedure an empty Shibbo-
leth." Others who have never
reconciled themselves to civil
rights for Negroes, or shown
much passion about school IN
tegration, or even done much to
win voting rights for the South's
DISTINGUISHED have gone further
than Alsop.
They are threatening and
warning John F. Kennedy that
if he wants any of his leglsla-
tive program adopted at this
session, he had better sit this
one out. In short, the segrega-
ton extremists argue that we
must stand still in the civil
rights fight or that Kennedy
faces political civil war.
The Alsop position is, OF
course, nowhere near that. He
simply thinks other things come
first. What the other things are,
I am not quite sure, after faith
full reading of the Alsop col
umn. But everyone has his own
list of priorities and civil rights
legislation does not seem to be
at the top of Alsop's.
The key issue, Of course, IS
the filibuster, although it is not
the only rule that liberal Demo-
Gratis have felt needed chang
ing.
It has always seemed ironic
that those very lawmakers who
would deny racial minorities
the right to vote, to proper
schooling and to unsegregated
seating in lunchrooms are al
ways loudest in proclaiming any
curb on the filibuster as an Gin
fringement" on their freedom of
action. They sometimes even
talk of themselves as perse-
cuted minority"
Be that as it may, the battle
to limit debate, to say 100 hours,
involves not only civil rights
legislation-but the entire social
welfare program of which Sen.
Kennedy spoke in the campaign.
So far as the Conservative
Coalition is concerned there has
always been an understanding.
If the South backs the conser-
vative Republicans in opposing
anti-welfare legislation then
the G.O.P.ers would back the
South in opposing civil rights
legislation.
WHERE DOES KENNEDY
STAND? = What Alsop, and
others who take his position
overlook, is that Kennedy's en-
tire domestic program m ay
