eminently just and fair ar
rangement and is in conform
ity with previous Federal aid
enactments.
Would funds also be allof-

Yes. 1t was proposed that
states receive grants totaling
S2.3 billion over three years
for public grade and secondary
schools to be used for erect

pose of such proposals?

the years ahead in economic
growth, in enlightened citi-
zens and in national excel
lence."
What is the present status
in Congress of the adminlsfra-
lions proposals.
The Senate has passed a
bill very similar to the ad-
ministration's proposals for
aid to public elementary and
secondary schools, except
that il would allow the states
TO use the grants for current
operating and maintenance
costs as well as for construc-
ton and teachers salaries.
The administrations proposals
for higher education are still
under study by a Senate COM
mittee. In the House Of
Representatives, the propos-
ais for both higher and lower
education have been embodied
in bills which have been
denied clearance by the House
Rules Committee.
Why have these proposals
provoked so much opposifion7
/. Because for the first
time they would put the Fed
eral government into the
business of elementary and
secondary education in a big
way. With the exception of
some health legislation, like
the National School Lunch
Act. and the "Federally i'm
pacted areas" program tareas
in which Federal activities
have significantly increased
the local educational burden),
the Federal government has
left these two areas of educa-
ton to the states and the
local communities.
2. Because it would under
take for the first time to pay
teachers salaries.
3. Because it would set a
pattern of unjustifiable dis
elimination between pupils at
tending public elementary
schools and students enrolled
in private nonprofit schools,

Many do not think it a
wise policy for the Federal
government to intrude into an
enterprise which has ira

the state and the local school
districts. The Federal govern

enough TO do without taking

Lucky Not To Be Yankee"
This was, Of course, paraphraSe on
Joe DiMaggio'S remark, Lucky to be
Yankee" Jensen, in rejecting the idea, said,
Nobody who's not Yankee is lucky. That's
silly idea If I ever heard one"
He did pretty good job in rightfield
for the Senators for most of two seasons
but the late Clark Griffith traded Jensen in
the winter of '53 with no great sense of loss.
That it turned out to be disastrous swap,

the forgotten Tom Umphlett didn't disturb
the Old Fox. He just didn't think Jensen
was unexpendable. }..
But Jackie was pretty wonderful at
Boston, where the park was made to order
for a righthanded hitter with his power.
Aside from his RBI laurels, one year he led
the league in stolen bases and another time
in triples He played in the shadow, not
of Mantle, but of Ted williams, but it didn't
seem to bother him.

THERE WAS AT LEAST one other
notable outfielder who quit baseball for a
full season because he was unhappy. That
was Edd Roush, who is Hall of Fame ma
terial for his 1926 batting and his wondrous
fielding. Twice he was the batting cham
pion at Cincinnati and another year he had
410 putouts and 18 assists, which no other
outfielder matches.
RouSh was and is country-type guy.
In his salad days he hated spring training
Now, old but still spry, he shows up at
various spring training camps in Florida
and voluntarily works out. But in 1929,
playing for the Giants, he had rhubarb
with John McGraw. He had batted 1924 for
New York in '29, just as he'd hit above 800
for IL of the 13 previous seasons.
But he refused to sign for 1880 and
instead, announced his intention of sitting
on his front porch at Oakland City, Ind. 1t
was the longest holdout in baseball history
because RouSh, indeed, sat out the year. He
was about 81, as against Jensen'S present a.
The Giants finally released Edd to his
beloved Reds in March Of 1880, but RouSh
didn't play. When he finally played the 81
campaign he batted 271, lowest of his long
and honorable career, and as he puts 1t
today:

WIN, LOSE OR DRAW


IN A SPORT AS EXACTING as base
ball it is almost suicidal to sit out full
season. especially when a ball player is
pushing his mid-30S. Jackie Jensen, in re-
tlring for the second time, has decided that
the parade has passed him by
The husky blond Red Sox outfielder,
whiz at football, too, was batting only .130
when he packed his bags and mysteriously
left the club in Cleveland. So far this spring
he had been nowhere close to the solid
hitter who led the American League in runs
batted in for the 1958-59 seasons.
It was after that second successive RBI
title (he-won it three times altogether) that
Jackie quit baseball to take up year-round
residence at his Crystal Bay (Nev) home.
The Red Sox, faced with great loss, wanted
to know why Jensen's answer was that it
was due to personal reasons" which he
later pinpointed as an aversion to air travel.

when he rejoined the Red Sox this spring,
and alleviated his flying fears. But OBJ
viously the pitchers were working on him,
too.
1T WAS TOO EARLY in the season to
pass final judgment on Jensen in his come
back role The evidence at hand, however
indicated that he had lost some of his mar
velous reflexeS. 1t may have been more
serious; Jackie simply may have lost his
enthusiasm and desire for the game.
Jensen was not an easy athlete to know
AL Hirshberg, the magazine and book
author, searched Jensen's soul once during
the course Of lengthy series Of interviews
and came up with the pronouncement that
Golden Boy was all right, 100 per cent, all
WOOL But during his boyish days as a
Yankee and, later, as a Senator, Jackie
baffled the people who were assigned to
write about him.
He came up to the Yankees as a $35, 900
bonus boy just ahead Of Mickey Mantle.
Actually, they were contemporaries If Jen-
sen was not envious Of Mantle he was
abrupt to Washington baseball writer one
day. The well-meaning stiff, seeking to
interview the tabled Mickey, asked Jensen
in the Yankee dugout, Are you Mantle?"
It was boo-boo, but not flagrant Both
are husky, blond guys (although Mantle Is
more inclined to be tow-headed) but the
fire ragged in Jackie's eyes. "No, I'm not
Mantle" he spat. ION this ball club they
know Jensen from Mantle"

sen to Washington on May 3, 1852, Jackie
didn't act like man who harbored hate
toward the club that got rid of him. A ma

The Tigers, early wonders of

Tom Sturdivant, one Of the

tuberculosis to Idle
Stith More Than Year

OLEAN, N. Y, May Q (AP)
l-All-America Tom Stith, whose
scoring feats helped make little
st. Bonayenture a major bas-
ketball power, has been stricken
with tuberculosis. His doctor
says at the earliest 1t will be
more than q year before he
plays again. e'a
Doctors at st. Francis Hos
pital said yesterday that Stith
had the disease in one lung.
He lost 20 pounds last season
and entered the hospital for a
checkup Friday when he failed
to regain the weight.
Stith three weeks ago signed
with the New York Knicker-
bockers Of the National Basket
ball Association. He was the
Knicks' first draft choice.
A prolific scorer, the 6-foot-5
forward bucketed $50 points in
leading st. Boneventure to a
24-4 record and an NCAA tour
ney berth last season. He was
third among the Nations COL
legiate scorers.
The BonnieS finished third
in the rankings despite a late
season slump.
Stith'S physician said Tom
would be transferred to Mount
Morris Sanatorium near Roch-
ester in a few days. The doctor
said it would be hard to say
how long he would be GONZALES
cling.
"Given any break at all, I
would say Tom could be ready
to return to the game a year
from this fall" he said.
1T depends on q lot of
things" the doctor continued.
For the Knickerbockers, news
of Stith's illness came amid
the clubs troubles with Kenny
Sears, who wants to move with
San Francisco Of the new rival
American Basketball League.
This is a tremendous dis
appointment to us and to Stith,
also" said Ned Irish of Madi-
son Square Garden, which owns
the Knicks. 1--WE felt that he
was the best player the Knicker-

select the draft for many
