ST. LOUIS - Especial to
the Miss. Enterprise) - The
big hero in this mans town
last weekend was a bit strong
smiling athlete who answers
to the name of Bill White.
Bill, stellar first baseman
for the Cardinals, led h S
team in sweeping two double
headers from the Chicago
Cubs, by tying two records.
He garnered IA hits for the
four games tying the As year
old record set by the late and
great Ty Cobb.
And what's more - he only
had a As minute nap in "a
hours to do it on.
The Cardinals took the four
games playing in two sue
cessive nights.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1961-07-29

In slamming out the IA
hits, White raised his batting
average to .317 and ninth in
the leagues list OF leading
hitters.
White lost his sleep when
the first twin-biller went to
i a. m. and by the time he
got to bed it was 3 o'clock.
Knowing he had to get up
early to conduct a baseball
clinic he couldn't sleep. AT
the clinic, Bill instructed un-
til noon, had lunch and then
went to the park. He had
his 45 minute nap on a train
ing table before taking the
field for pre-game practice.
Whites two day record in
cluded one home run, two
triples, two doubles and nine
singles.

Congo Cold War

1t was clear that the cold war
had penetrated to the Congo. BY
not voting the U. N. authority to
strengthen the weak central gov
ernment, the Soviet Union wants
to continue sowing chaos in the
Congo.
The United States wants the
central government to be stabilized
and thinks the way to accomplish
this is by strengthening its army
and crushing all secessioniSt
groups.
Acting Secretary General U
Thant clearly has a severe prob
lem to deal with. He indicated
Friday that he will use his au-
thority to stamp out all Seces-
sionist activities, but the Soviet
Union warned it would be watch
ing closely to see that Mr.. Thant
followed his mandate. The ground
work has been laid for an all-out
battle in the U. N. if Mr.. Thant
tries to crush the Gizenga forces
against Soviet wishes.
In the Congo Itself, Mr.. Tshombe
vowed to fight until the end to
preserve his provinces "inde-
pendence.
His well-trained army could
probably hold its own against the
mutiny-prone central government
forces. Thus, any attack on Ka-
tanga would have to come from
U. N. troops. or U. Unsupported
central forces. Either case would
strain the peaceful intent of the
U. N. Charter.

Dominican:
Exodus

Joaquin Belaguer, President
of the Dominican Republic,
averted a right-wing coup d'etat
by members of the TrujiIlO
dynasty last week. He was
supported during the crisis by
American Naval forces which
remained off shore.
From 1916 to 1924, United States
Marines policed the Dominican
Republic, at that time one of the
most volatile Latin American
countries.
The Marines were sent to sta
bilize the government and prevent
foreign intervention. The presence
of the Marines, however, was
widely attacked throughout the
Americas as a case of Yankee
Imperialism.
The goals were achieved, but the
Stability" gained was at the cost
of freedom for the Dominican
Republic. From 1880 until last
May 80, Gen. Rafael L. Trujillo
ruled with an iron hand. His
dictatorship made other Latin
American tyrants look like mod
crates in comparison.
Last Sunday, United States Navy
ships appeared outside the harbor
of Ciudad Trujillo Tenamed last
week, Santo Domingo). Nearly
1000 Marines were ready to make
. a landing in support of the totter-
ing Belaguer regime,

Congo Aid

vetoed United States attempts
to expand the u. Ms role
against other inSurrectionist
elements in the Congo.
There are three competing
forces in the Congo-the central
government led by Cyrille Adoula
and Joseph Kasavubu; the Ka-
tanga secessionist government led
by Noise Tshombe; and prose-
Wet Oriental Province rebels led
by Antoine Gizenga, the heir of

ally spends a 12-hour day at the
State Department. He rises early,
at 6 am, and walks the two miles
from his home at 2219 California
avenue Northwest, when the
weather is right. He gets to the
office by 8 am, usually winds up
seeing the clock around.
A l2-HOur Doy
Walking has been the only ex-
ercise he has had time for in re-
cent years. When he has been
abroad he adapted his sports to
the country in which he served.
In Romania it was golf, tennis
and skiing until a collision with
a tree ended a promising amateur
skiing career. In Greece it was
swimming, mainly, and some
squash. In Moscow it was bad
minton, because the embassy had
a court in the austere days just
after World War II when Mr.. Koh-
Ter served there.
When he became deputy chief
of mission in Turkey in the early
1950's he found golf courses avail
able again.
Mr.. Kohler first came to pub
lie attention in late l949 when
he took over the Voice Of America,
which was then beginning its ef-
forts to penetrate the Iron Curtain
with the United States story. His
main forte then was side-stepping
congressional inquisitions.

periods was in 1957-58, just after

Klein had nothing to do with

On Tuesday, the Pentagon said
that. acting upon a lead" received
from the House Committee, it
conducted an inquiry which led it
to request the resignation of
another NSA official-former FBI-
man S. Wesley Reynolds, security
director for the agency.
Reason: Violation Of the Pen

regulation which forbids employees
from accepting ANY favor, gra-
tuity or entertainment" from any
person or firm doing business with

The Pentagon said its investiga-
ton at NSA was continuing. In
the wake of the detection of the
two code clerks, 26 other NSA en-
ployes were dismissed as alleged

Cheer Yonquis

This time. however. the yam
quiS" were cheered, for it was their
arrival that probably prevented
Jose AriSmendi L. Trujillo and
Hector B. Trujillo, brothers of the
slain dictator, from seizing power,
and ending the Dominican Re-
public's attempts at democracy.
Since the powerful dictator's
assassination on May 80, the Do
minican Republic has been strug-
Cling against strong odds to bring
freedom to its country.
Initially, most observers thought
Gen. Trujillo'S death would bring
little improvement. President
Belaguer had been in office for
nine months-and was considered
Trujillo stooge.
But to Washington's surprise,
Mr.. Belaguer has striven to re-
store political life in his country.
He ended the ban on political
parties and fired the hated secret
police chief.
The opposition leaders on the
island, however, looked skeptically
