VERSATILE TAN PLAYER

Chicago (ANP) - Joe Cherry,
a Jack-of-all trades who was out
standing at pitching, catching and
batting for the Indianapolis Clowns
baseball team, last week was sign
ed by the Chicago White sox OF
the American League and assigned
to Daytona Beach, the Sox affiliate
in the Glass d Florida State
League.
With the Clowns this season,
Cherry batted .301. Last year the
2O-year-old native of Londonbridge,
Va, batted BOT in 145 games. He
also pitched and had an 1s-1 re-
cord.
The White Sox are in need OF
top-night pitching and 1t Is con-
ceivable that Cherry win be moved
up fast in the minors. The question
is: VIII he catch or pitch?

Tigers EirsF Tan PIayeT
Ranlss High With

Detroit (ANP) - There have
been many reasons given for the
fine showing Of the Detroit Tigers,
but one Of the biggest is q player
who is not In the regular linsup.
He is ozzie Virgil. the Tigers
first tan performer. Osvaldo JOS
eph Virgil, from the Bronx in New
York city, 10 Mr.. Do-It-An Him
self.
He can speak two languages,
pitch batting practice. iii in ~ an
assistant travelling secretary,
pinch-hit, play first; second. short
and third and all three outfieid
positions and catch.
Many Tiger teammates say he's
the teams most valuable member.
"An On Ii quite q cook" says
Steve Boros, rookie teammate.
coz IL q great guy to have on
the club" says Boros, who played
with ozzie in the American Assoc
iation last year. HE doesn't play
much but he keeps everybody
popped up with his constant chat
ter on the bench.
ME when I don't play, I
clam up. Not ozzie. He's always
in the game, always trying to con-
tribute something"
Although only ~, the versatile
Virgil Is considered something Of
an elder statesman among the
Tigers. Younger players like Boros
and Jake Wood, the tan second
baseman, are his pals
He needles them, but his jibes
are kind.
Hey, Jake" he yelled TO the
second baseman when he was go
ing particularly well this season,
you're playing better bali than
at Denver.
Thanks, o." replied Wood
But don't let 1t go to your head,
kid. just remember you're playing
a weel1er league"
When the front office got ready
to place various Tigers on the draft
list for American League expan-
sion, Virgil was one Of the names
that didn't appear. The manage
ment made sure of that!
Virgil was having a fine season
with Charleston, then the Tigers
farm club in the American Associ-
alton, when he was called up in
1858. He was off to a fine start,
then tailed off. But few Detroiters
win forget his debut in Tiger Stad-
ium, then Briggs Stadium, when
he delivered five hits.

Moreover, in the most significant
part Of his appeal, King Savang has

Appeal for Laos

King Savang Vathana, who has
rarely intervened personally or directly
in his country'S political affairs, now
has given voice to a moving appeal
designed to promote the cause Of unity
and peace in Strife-torn Laos. In effect,
Affirming that his Vientiane government
(headed by pro-Western Premier Prince
Boun Oum) wants to follow policy Of
strict neutrality, he has called upon all
outside powers to stop stirring up discord
and violence among the Lao people-as
Red China and Red North Wet Nam
have persistently and Systematically
done in supporting the Communicated
"rebel" forces.
The King has been particularly
emphatic in declaring that his sorely
tried country will not join In any
military alliance" and will not have on
Its territory either foreign forces or
Sinilitary bases" This serves as a good
answer to Moscow's and Peiping's lurid
propaganda about how American "mili-
taristS" and "imperialists" have been
taking over Laos in preparation for
further aggression" in Asia. And 1t
serves also to underScore these words of
his: II appeal to all countries to respect
the independence, sovereignty, terrific

Animals in Distress

I quote from your Star pa
per: "Only inhabitants Of
Watkins Island (where, Incl
dentally Maryland Delegate
Alger Y. Barbee has a small
cabin for summertime fish
ing headuuarters) were three
small. wild dogs who raced
into the underbrush at the
noise Of the helicopter. War
den Hough put out four sacks
Of bird seed in well-guarded
locations as the craft
touched ground after close
investigation of the island"
What about these three
small wild dogs?" How are
they finding food on a snow
covered island where no one
lives? The bird seed would
not do them much good. Why
is not one Of the animal well
fare leagues taking care Of
this sad situation? Those un-
fortunate dogs could be
caught quite easily with hu-
name traps and then brought
into a shelter, II they have
not already died from starva-

Members Of the flight engineers
union may or may not be justified in
their distaste for having themselves
represented in collective bargaining
case by the larger Air Line Pilots Associ-
alton, or in their apprehension about
the future Of their union itself.
They are not justified, individually
or collectively, In their refusal-to-work
defiance Of a National Mediation Board
decision in this matter of bargaining
representation, Of their own union
officers plea that they go back on their
Jobs, Of Federal Court injunctions
against their unauthorized strike and,
finally, in their contemptuous disregard
Of President Kennedy's action under the
National Railway Labor Act Of naming
fact-finding board under which normal
operations would continue pending study
and recommendations by that group.
Neither are they justified in action that
is now throwing tens of thousands of
other airline workers on furlough, and
virtually crippling the air transport
industry And last to be considered, no
doubt, is the public inconvenience, and
much more than inconvenience in many
cases where travel by commercial air
Is. essential for personal or business
reasons.
-, II 1t is true that the Job security Of
$500 flight engineers is potentially in
jeopardy, 1t is reasonable that an
effort should be made to remove this
threat. 1t is not reasonable that an
Estimated 2,70O of this group should
attempt 1t by all the offenses mentioned

Jeremy Hunt Biggs has lost
a legal round in his efforts to
convince District officials that
a driving conviction in a
foreign country should not
be held against him here.
Corporation Counsel
Chester H. Gray handed down
the opinion that city regula-
tionS do not make any special
reference to convictions in
foreign countries. He added,
however, that the city's
traffic point system refers to
convictions in other juriSdic-
tions and does not limit
these areas to the United
States"
While the District ordi-
nance does not limit the area
Of Jurisdiction to the United
states, the constitution does
limit the area to the United
States. Article w states that,
Full faith and credit shall
be given in each State to the
public acts, records, and judi
cial proceedings Of every

State" means in the United
