following the mid-ApriI inva-
sion.
From a variety Of sources II
was reported then that the
1900 men who would become
the invading force were assem-
bled in the United States and
went to Guatemala for train
ing.
Sometime in March. the
sources said, the Guatcmalan
government served notice that
the traineeS must leave the
country soon. This impelled the
invaders to make their attempt
whether they were ready or
not, it was reported.
Doubts Created
The situation in Guatemala
was said to have been an i'm
portant element in persuading
the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
other top administration ad-
visers to go along with the in
vasion attempt even though
there was some reservation in
high quarters in Washington
as to whether the force was
adequate and the necessary
uprisings inside Cuba would
develop. They never did.
In a post mortem of United
States Government connections
with the invasion operation, ad-
ministration informants told
reporters privately:
There was complete concur
renee among the. President,
Secretary of State Rusk and
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as
we'll as other policymakers in
the National Security Council,
that the United States should
not veto the operation.
Expected Defections
The Cuban revolutionary
leaders had been anxious to 60
ahead with their plan and they
confidently expected it would
set off defections in Prime Min
lister Fidel Castro's armed
forces and result in popular up
riSingS.
Last week, a top United
States official said the Central
Intelligence Agency correctly
reported the Castro regimes
military power and the temper
of the Cuban people before Mr.,
Kennedy okayed the invasion
This statement clashed with
views previously expressed by a
number of administration au-
thorities that intelligence er-
rors contributed heavily to the
failure Of the landing attempt

Senate Group
Defers Action
On School Aid
BY j. A. O'LEARY
Star staff Writer

Pressure Of other business
forced the Senate Labor and
Welfare Committee today to
postpone action until next week
on the administrations aid-to-
education bill.
The delay brought from Sem
ator Clark, Democrat Of Penn
sylvania, a demand for action
on his proposal to change Sen
ate rules so one Senator could
not block committee meetings
while the Senate Is in session.
When the Senate met at IL
am, Republican Leader Dirk
son objected to several COM
mittee meetings. He told re-
porters later there was no
concerted move to delay the
administrations legislative pro-
gram.
He said 1t merely reflected
the fact that Senators have
found no way to be in two or
more places at the same time"
Meeting on Aged
Chairman Hill of the Labor
and Welfare Committee said
another factor in putting off
the school bill today was a
simultaneous meeting of the
Special Committee on Problems
of the Aged. Nine Senators
are members Of both commit
tees.
When the school bill is taken
up again next Wednesday the
committee will face. a contest
over the formula to be used
in allocating to the States the
S2.3 billion in Federal grants
over the next three years.
1t was revealed today that
the subcommittee which ap-
proved the administration
school bill two days ago divided
5 to 4 as between two proposed
yardstickS.
/ Senator Javits. Republican
Of New York, renewed in the
full committee today the mo-
ton which failed by one vote
in the subcommittee to substi-
tute a formula which he said
would give more money to the
poorer States.
Morse Blocks Formula
Senator Morse, Democrat OF
Oregon, today defended the
administration formula. He
said he is willing to do more
for the poorer States If they
show a willingness to do more
for themselves. But he argued
that the JavitS amendment
would penalize States that are
making the greatest effort.
Senator Morse said the for
mula already in the bill will
give the poorer States two and
one half times as much as the
wealthy States. He said he is
willing to accept a compromise
that would make the ratio three
to one, provided 1t Is based on
degree Of local effort and not
as a subsidy to the poorer
States.
The District Of Columbia and
nine States would receive the
minimum Federal contribution
Of SIS per public school pupil
under the administration bill
as it stands.
/ For 1862 the bill would au-
thorize $3.50 million for opera
ting expenses and $460 million
for construction in impacted
areas. The nearby counties OF
Maryland and Virginia get
some help from the impacted
area program.
The controversial question of
aid to parochial and other
private schools apparently has
been eliminated from the main
education bill. Administration
leaders have decided to try to
solve the private school prob
lem by broadening the loans
and grants already available to
private schools under the Ma
tional Defense Education Act,
which must be extended later
in the session.

Through the din of defeats and despite the
spoils of victory, the clown in Casey never died.
One day, Ferris Fain, the Athletics first baseman,
raced almost into Mrs. Stengel's box along the
frstbase line and caught Jerry Coleman's foul fly.
Casey promptly hoped out of the dugout and
yelled, ''Push him next time, Edna. Whose side
are you On?"
Ne kept 'em laughing
In hotel lObbies Stengel kept his own players
in stitches by re-enacting complicated plays One
ex-Yankee recalls with mixture of humor and
wonder how, right in the middle Of Detroits Shera-
tonCadillac Hotel, Stengel demonstrated Ty Cobb's
fallaway slide. Stengel slid into potted plant.
Even in serious practice sessions, he often
turned comedian. Once he was standing at the
plate demonstrating to FIRST baseman Joe Collins
how to hit the ball to the opposite field. The
pitcher pitched and hit Casey in the head. The CO.
year-Od teacher fell to the ground, visiby shaken.
"Well continue this demonstration tomorrow"
said old Case. 'That big ape just put me on base"
So much for Casey, the Clown. There was also
Casey the Kind, and Casey the Hardboiled.
Family situations, happy or sad, touched Casey
to the quick. When Willy Miranda came to him

he'd decide at the last minute which one to hand
the ump the official lineup at the pre-game
meeting at home plate.
One day Gene Woodling came up as leadoff man
against the Cleveland Indians. Just before the
opposing pitcher wound up, it dawned on the
batbOy, Joe Carrier, that Gil McDougald was
listed as first man on the official lineup. Should
the mistake be discovered after Woodling got on
base, he would be out - and one out can spell
the difference between victory and defeat Carrier
dashed into the dugout.
II think the wrong mans UP" he whispered
frantically into the great managers ear.
''By God, you're right. Good thinking, boy!'
cried Casey as he bounced out of the dugout in
time to switch McDougald for WOoding.
He later gave Carrier his check for $25.
Sometimes the checks were bigger. In 1852 the
Yanks needed one game to clinch the pennant.
They were playing the Athletics in Philadelphia.
Stengel wanted this game badly. At the pregame
meeting he made an amazing proposition.
I'm give 500 to any man who gets to first base
by being hit by pitched ball, - he said.
Sure enough, teachers pet Billy Martin, who
in those days called Casey Dad got creamed
right off the bat. Tough-skinned Hank Bauer
followed suit. When Gil McDougald slid into
home plate with the winning run the throw-in
from left field hit him in the hand. 1t didn't hurt
much but Gil made sure he was grimacing in pain
when he ran past Stengel towards the showers.
Before the game next day there were SlOO checks
on the lockers of Martin, Bauer and McDougald.

all baseball managers.
What's behind the miracle Of Casey Stenge?
Was he suddenly transformed into super-genius?
Or was his fabulous success due merely to the
presence on his team and in the Yankee farm
organization of an endless supply of DiMaggios,
Rizzutos, Mantles and other superstars?
To get the answer to this major cOnundrum of
the sports world we went to group Of men who
we felt not only knew the answer but would be
free to talk the men who helped win those ten
pennants but no longer playing for the Yankees.
Even now, not all of them would talk. Some
didn't want what they said attributed to them.
But most spoke up frankly and often surprisingly.
They told us innumerabe stories about their years
under Stengel, and out Of their recollections
we've put together picture of Casey Stengel,
man and manager.
SssnssI VS.. DiMOssiO
Stengel took charge of the Yankees in l94o.

won pennant in the majors, who had never man.
aged such high priced stars as Joe DiMaggio, and
who did not feel sure enough of himself to stop
the daily cribbage game that went on in those days
in the clubhouse before and sometimes after
game between DiMaggio and Phil Rizzuto, Tommy
Heinrich or Charlie Keller.
few years later things had changed. Several
ex-Yankee players still recall vividly the evening
they were sitting around diningcar table playing
Twenty Questions after losing doubleheader
in Philadelphia. In stOrmed Stengel. THE only
question want you dummies to ask yourself,
he beloved, 's why the hell you can't hit!''
That was a different Stengel from the man who
got his fingers burned the first time he tried to
manage DiMaggio in l94o Another player, not
DiMaggiO, told me this story. In the middle of
game Stengel could see that JOe's chronic heel
injury was bothering him. He called the Clipper
in from center6eld to take him out of the game.
'After this PH let you know when want to
come out Of the game, - ranted the great DiMag-
giO as he lOped into the dugOut. From then ON.
Stengel always had another player run out to
ask DiMaggiO if ne wanted to be taken out.
DiMaggiO was making 10000 year against
manager Stengel's $685. 900 graduated to 100000
after his seventh pennant). But it couldn't have
been the inequality of money that gave Stengel
an inferiority complex. Casey had invested in oil
wells during the depth of the depression and there
was a well-wom joke among the players that
Stengel was lending money to the New York
Yankees. Actually, Stengel often did use his own
funds to reward valOr on the diamond.

actually managed the team for Casey Stengel.
