problems unite us instead Oh
belaborlng the problems that di-
vide US.
Let both sides, for the first
time, formulate serious and pre-
else proposals for the inspection
and control of arms and bring
tie absolute power to destroy
other nations under the absolute
control Of all nations.
Let both sides join to invoke
the wonders of science instead
of its terrors. Together let us
explore the stars. conquer the
deserts, eradicate disease, tap
the ocean depths and encourage
the arts and commerce.
Let both sides unite to heed
in all corners of the earth the
command of Isaiah - to undo
the heavy burdens (and)
let the oppressed go free"
And if a beach-head of CO.
operation can be made in the
jungles of suspicion, let both
sides join in the next task:
Creating, not a new world of
law, where the strong are just
and the weak secure and the
peace preserved forever.
All this will not be finished
IN the first one hundred days.
Nor will It be finished in the
first one thousand days, nor in
the life of this administration,
not even perhaps in our life
time on this planet. But let us
begin.
In your hands, my fellow citi-
zens, more than in mine, will
rest the final success or failure
of our course. Since this coun-
try was founded, each genera
ton has been summonded to give
testimony to its national loyalty.
The graves of your Americans
who answered that call encircle
the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us
again = not as a call to bear
arms, though arms we need =
not as a call to battle, though
embattled we are = but a call
to bear the burden of a long
twilight struggle, year in and
year out, rejoicing in hope,
patient in tribulation" = a strug-
gle against the common enemies
Of man: Tyranny, poverty, dis
ease and war itself.
Can we forge against these
enemies a grand and global al
lance, north and south, east and
west. that can assure a more
fruitful life for all mankind?
Will you join in that historic
effort?
In the long history of thu
world, only a few generations
have been granted the role of
defending freedom in its hour
Of maximum danger. l do not
shrink from this responsibility
II welcome it. I do not be-
lieve that any of us would ex-
change places with any other
neople or any other generation.
The energy, the faith and the
devotinon which we bring to
this endeavor will light III
country and all who serve it
and the glow from that fire can
truly light the world.
And So, my fellow Americans:
Ask not what your country will
do for you = ask what you can
DO for your country.
My fellow citizens of the
world: Ask not what America
will do for you, but what to-
gether we can do for the free
dom of man.
Finally, whether you are citi-
zens of America or of the world,
ask of us the same high stand
ards of strength and sacrifice
that we shall ask of you. With
g good conscience III only sure
reward, with history the final
Judge of our deeds, let us 60
forth to lead the land we love,
asking His blessing and His help,
but knowing that here on earth
Gods work must truly be our
own.

ovan Washington's hardest worker so far.
IN THE MATTER of bona-fi fide pennant
contenders it's no contest. The National
League has at least five, and even Cincin-
natl is taking shot at the lead The
drop-off comes with the Cubs and Phillies,
which proves that money isn't always
everything.
Both Phil Wrigley of the Cubs and Bob
Carpenter of the Phillies are wealthy, but
neither has been able to put winner on the
field for years. AS matter of fact, it's been
IA years since the Cubs finished in the first
division and five since the Phillies turned
the trick. At the rate they're playing it'll
be close fight between them for last place.
If the PhillieS win this dubious distinction
it will be their fourth successive cellar
windup.
Money again isn't helping Tom Yawkey
up in Boston. The Red sox are looking like
a pretty sad ball club, almost as far down
in hitting as the Senators and worse in
the field. Kansas City is struggling, as
usual, despite the fresh money of new
owner Charles Finley.
But the established American League
club that appears to be dying is the White

BASED ON HIS PLAY last week end,
Chuck Hinton now stands a chance of be-
coming the new pet of Griffith Stadium
customers. Hinton can run and in that
big park, which is the despair of long-ball
hitters, there is rare premium on the
extra base and the stolen variety.
Hinton is the first to come up from the
Senator's own farm system" His season.

Technically, Washington has no farm sys-
tenn as yet, nor players with whom to stock
even one club.
There is, however, at least one other
young player out on loan in the minors who
figures to come up. That would be Bud
Zipfel. In light of Hinton's smashing
debut, that time may be sooner than you
think. Say, inside the next month, about
the trading deadline.

PHILADELPHIA, May 16
(AP). Bill Nieder, Olympic

WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
Money Doesn't Always Mean Everything

TO NATIONAL LEAGUE clubowners,
who smugly criticized the Americans ex-
panSion and predicted joke race, the first
month of the campaign is one of chagrin.
If anything, the 10 American League
teams are punched more closely from top
to bottom than the Nationals eight estab-
lished clubs. If the new Washington and
Los Angeles clubs are not near the top,
where are the Phillies and Cubs?
What's more, not often have the Sena-
tors and Angels been clobbered. On the
contrary, they have been involved in an
uncommon number of cliff-hangers, espe-
cially the Senators. Neither team can be
considered a disgrace at this point.
THE American is weak league" Ma
tional Leaguers argue thinly. When we
expand next year we'll be more generous
with more good players in alloting per-
sonnet to Houston and New York" Presum-
ing the AL is weak, it is no reason for deny
ing that in matter of weeks, days and
hours the Americans were able to put
pair of new clubs on the field.
HOW THE SENATORS have won more
games so far than the White Sox, among
others, is a tribute to some remarkable
pitching. Washington fans haven't seen
the like of such pitching for years. How
long Mickey Vernon can expect to get such
a performance from his staff is the $64
question, but lately instead of getting
worse it's been better.
The Senators front office admitted to
some trepidation before the season. What
scares me-" one confessed, "is that We'll
run into 10 or IL game losing streak right
at the start That could kill us at the gate
for the season" SO far his fears have been
groundless.

Senators Try
ToKeepGoing
Against Yanks
Woodeshick Faces
Stafford Tonight
In Series Opener
BY BILL FUCHS
Star staff Writer

NEW YORK, May 16.-The
Senators move into Yankee
Stadium tonight with a three
game winning streak and a
strong desire to disrupt New
York's plans for moving closer
to the front-running Tigers.
Hal Woodeshick. who cut
down the Yankees, 81, in his
last start in Washington, is
Manager Mickey Vernon'S
choice to oppose Bill Stafford
in the first of the two-game
series.
Pete Burnside, who pitched
a two-hitter while losing to the
Red Sox Friday night, will op-
pose Art Ditmar tomorrow
afternoon.
Test for Stafford
The Senators then will play
a three-game series in Balti-
more before taking off for Los
Angeles and their first meet
ing with the other American
League newcomers, the Angels.
The Yankees, who took a
douhle-header from the Tigers
Sunday to salvage split in the
four-game series, are thinking
of Stafford in terms of a fifth
starter.
The 22-year-old highlander
has been used mostly in relief.
He has just gotten over a sore
shoulder and Manager Ralph
Houk is anxious to see how he
performs tonight.
The Yankees are anxious to
get going again in typical Yam
kee fashion. They started well,
with Mickey Mantle supplying
the heroicS, and then tailed off,
along with Mantle's bat. Mickey
is a .309 hitter and has nine
homerS. seven of which he
belted in April.
Maris' Failure Puzzle
Puzzling to the Yankees, too,
is the early failure of Roger
MariS who led the league with
1l2 runs batted in last year.
Maris, who hit .283 and smash
ed SO homers in 1860, is a PIT
hitter with only two homers to
his credit at this point.
The Senators aren't expected
to have the full services of Gene
Woodling, the good-hitting out
fielder. for the New York series.
Woodling is nursing an injured
knee, but will make the trip
and may see some action to-
morrow.
Willie Tasby, who was noti-
fled today of the death of his
grandmother in Oakland,
Calf. will leave the team after
the series here and rejoin it in
Los Angeles Sunday.
Jim King, recently assigned
a starting role in the outfield,
is emerging as highly capable
batSman. He has eight hits in
26 at-bats for a 1903 mark and
included are two homers and
a pair of doubles.
Hinton Shows Promise
Chuck Hinton also shows
promise. He was brought up
from Indianapolis in time for
Sundays double-header and
distinguished himself in the
field in addition to chipping
in with two hits.
Woodling leads the club in
homers with four and sports a
.299 average.
Billy Klaus, who got off to
a bad start. now has hit safely
in his last four games.
With the warmer weather,
the hitting in general is ex-
pected to perk up. II it does,
the Senator's could wind up hav-
ing more fun this season than
they were expected to have.
