this type of case without a signed
complaint"
In his interview, Monson ad-
mitted he had not taken any
further action since he wrote the
letter to Casey. Monson said, after
reading Wynne's discouraging let
ter, he consulted a lawyer, who
likewise expressed doubts about
whether a telephone conversation
was sufficient evidence to gain a
conviction in a court in that COM
munity.
Another factor, Monson indie
ated, was the necessity Of having
to make two, possibility three,
trips of S22 miles to Baudette: to
sign the complaint, which must be
done in the presence Of the probate
judge there, and to testify at the
trial.
HiveAy's reasons for not pressing
the matter beyond what he had
previously done agreed with Mon
sons. However, Hvely said what
ever Monson decided to do, he
Hively-would do all he could to
help.
Monson, a white person who
lives at 1000 Everett Court, st.
Paul, said, before any definite
decision is arrived at, he would
discuss the matter with the other
members Of the bi-racial group.
A medical student from Sweden,
Rune Forsen, was the other white
person.
Besides Thaddeus Nicholas, who
lives at 2426 Fifth Av. s., the

1T WAS ALL GREEK TO HIM!

Sydney, Australia (ANP) -
Twenty-nine year old George Gnes-
solilis, who arrived here recently
on a chartered immigrant flight
from Athens, called the trip a
nightmare.
II don't know how it happened
that I was the only man on the
plane" he remarked. But young
George was not alone - not by a
long shot.
Eighty five (repeat S5) young
Greek girls, all single, were on
board!
1T was a bachelors nightmare
3 days, Fl hours, 40 minutes,
Like any bachelor I like girls. But
IS of them were just too much.
IT only had to look thirsty and
six of them ran to get me a drink,
After we left Bangkok I almost
asked the captain for parachute"
He said he would stay with his
brother in Sydney and 'T don't
want to see another woman for at
least a month - and then she'd
better not be Greek"

Once upon a time a man sent

them. You need not take much

work. I am leaving now, and will

I shall pay you. I hope the fence
will be mended when I return" I"
With that the man left.
The next day the man came to
inspect the fence. He found the
boards carefully planed and neat
ly nailed in place. The fence, which
had badly sagged, was neatly
Strengthened up. The man was
surprised and much pleased at the
excellent job, but feared that the
cost would be much greater than
he had ordered. So he called the

to second place last week.
OF course, if the LA sophomore
team bagged the pennant, it would
enhance considerably Wagner's
chances Of bagging MVP honors.
Oddly enough, when AL expand
ed to 10 teams for the 1861 season,
Wagner had been shunted to the
minors, with no sure possibility Of
making it back to the majors.
But Bill Rigney, Angel man.
ager, remember the year Wagner
had for the San Francisco Giants
(where Rigney was then manager)
in 1858. That season, after being
called up from Phoenix, then in
the Pacific Coast League, Wagner
batted .317 in IA games and hit a
flock of home runs.
Next year, his home run pro-
duction fell off and his batting
dropped to .225. Then in the off
season he was traded to st. Louis
Cardinals. In the 1860 campaign,
Wagner couldn't get ntracked for
the Cardinals and eventually
wound up with Toronto in the In
ternational League.
Needing outfield help - and
realizing that Wagner's power
would be a godsend in the small
Wrgley Field park in Los An
geles - Rigney brought him back
to the majors last year. Leon re-
warded him with leading the club
in home runs (28), driving in 70
tallies and batting .290.
So this year, while keeping his
average consistently above the
.2S0 mark, Wagner is far ahead Of
his last seasons pace in RIBS and
home runs.
Rigney is confident that Wag-
ner, all-star left fielder for the
AL, is no flash in the pan.
"He can be one Of the very
best" says Rigney. And he can
hit 40 or so home runs, If he will
swing at strikes. He has made
considerable improvement over
last season. If he keeps away from
bad pitches he will become one Of
the American Leagues outstand-
ing hitters."
Wagner himself is confident that
he has made it.
I'm not predicting that I will
break that record by Roger Maris;
but I know one thing I'm cap
able of doing it.
THE pitchers all look alike to
me. never lose my desire to fight
and don't worry about anything.
I'm playing baseball with every
thing I have and that's the only
way know how to play it."
According to Wagner, he almost
received $500 to sign a contract
with a major league club.
He explains it this way:
The Giants, Philadelphia Phil
lies, another National League
team, and the Cleveland Indians
were interested in him.
The Phillies' scout conceded he
had good potential but actually
advised him to sign with some
other club. That was before the
Phillies had developed a great af-
finity for tan talent and the scout
felt that Wagner would be shunted
to the minors.
The Cleveland scout watched
him for a couple Of days. He knew
the Giants were interested and
told Wagner that If the Giants Of
fered him $4,000, the Indians
would go as high as $75, 1000. The
scout went away and never came
back.
Wagner, then playing with the
Inkster Panthers, a semipro team
in Detroit, was anxious for a
chance in the majors. He signed
with the Giants without a bonus.
II think they paid off the mort
gage on my grandmother's house
(she raised Leon) and they
bought new uniforms, bats and
balls and gloves for the Panthers,"
Wagner recalls. .. a.s
In his first season in organized
baseball, Leon slammed 81 home

Soviet Warned
ByLord Home

GLASGOW, Scotland. Feb.
10 (AP). - Britain's Foreign
Secretary Lord Home made 1t
clear today that Britain and
her allies will block with force
any Russian attempt to over
run West Berlin.
Addressing a Conservative
Party rally here, he said:
There are two areas in the
world where war between the
West and the Communist coun-
tries could occur. One is West
Berlin.
There we have made it quite
clear to the Russians tn q t
we cannot acquiesce in the ex-
tinction Of the freedom of g.
100000 people in the city.
There are 100000 people
who are now free. We cannot
see Cnem OVerrun. therefore,
there is no reason for start
ing to fight over Berlin be-
cause the issues at stake are
obscure: We have made them
crystal clear and the Russians
know them"
The other area where war
could occur. said Lord Home,
is Laos.
The foreign secretary also
said he was holding himself
ready to go to Geneva and
work out with the Russians a
positive disarmament plan Gin
order to bring to an end the
danger Of nuclear war"

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (AP).-
Radio Liberty has beamed
broadcasts behind the Iron
Curtain to tell Soviet citizens
Of the role of a Soviet MASTER
spy in the release of w. Pilot
Francis Gary Powers.
1.-THE Soviet propaganda ap-
paratus obviously is trying to
capitalize on the release of
Powers by making it appear
that the Kremlin'S motives
were based solely on a desire
to improve relations with the
United States" a spokesman
for Radio Liberty said here.
The broadcasts from trans
mitters in Western Europe and
the Far East are "of such in
tensity that Soviet TANNERS
are unable to keep its message
from reaching large parts of
the population" the spokesman
added.

luctant British approval, seems
to be on the verge of a decision
to resume nuclear tests in the
atmosphere. Mr.. Khrushchev
has been maneuvering to pre-
vent the United States from
resuming or to make it pay q
price if it does. If he overplays
his hand on this vital issue
tensions could mount very fast.
Officials expect that this
week Russia will reply to a bid
from Mr.. Kennedy and British
Prime Minister Macmillan for
a foreign ministers meeting
on disarmament at Geneva in
mid-March.. Officials find it
difficult to predict what the
response will be.
In Laos, State Department Of
ficialS have been encouraged
by RuSsia's seeming willing
ness to support a compromise,
neutralist peace settlement.
But some of the best-informed
officials here privately fear a
Communist trick. They see
danger Of a Red military build
up followed by some new eff
fort to take over the whole
country.
More Immediately the issue
is focused on South Wet Nam
where a United States training
mission is growing by thou
sands as Mr.. Kennedy seeks to
carry through a policy of de-
feating a Red guerrilla cam
paign fed from North Wet Nam
with Russian support.
Despite Soviet hostility in
most Of these areas of conflict,
the President is known to feel
1t is of great Importance to ex-
plore all avenues of accord with
Russia and to keep lines of
communication open. =
Mr.. Kennedy's policy is q
calculated maneuver based on
two principles: the United
States can gain only by trying
to open up more windows to
the Soviet people; and the
United States has nothing to
lose by anticipating possible
changes in Soviet policy as a
result Of the conflict with Red
China.
No one guarantees any
changes but there is a feeling
here that the split in the Com
munist bloc will compel Soviet
leaders to be guided more and
more by Russian national con-
siderations and less by the rev.
dictionary aims Of the interna-
tional Communist movement.

sent her 7-year-old daughter
Becky to a friends house. The
child was the only Powers fam
lily member who was disap-
pointed yesterday-her prom
ised trip to a movie was post
poned.
BY 4:30 Mrs. Melvin hoped
her boy, Bryant, 3, would take
a nap so she too could catch
up on the sleep lost yesterday
morning.
Shortly after the first phone
call, Mrs. Melvin said, the tele-
vision cameramen and newsmen
arrived. They poked things at
me and asked me questions, and
I answered them like a sleep
walker" she said.
The w. pilots 56-year-old
mother, who has been ailing
with a heart condition, sat in
the rear of the tiny shoe repair
shop in Norton that her hus-
band operates and told the AS
ISOLATED Press how word reached
her.
II was already awake when
the phone rang" she said. II
don't know what kept me
awake. When I do wake up once
in a while, my thoughts are
about him." The last time she
saw her son was when he was
placed on trial.
After the call, she said, IT
made coffee and we drank
that" She and Mr.. Powers re-
manned up answering the phone
the rest Of the morning.
Then the first person to whom
she told the good news was her
married daughter, Mrs. Joan
Meade, who lives nearby. The
Powers home is at Pound, Va,
not far from Norton, where Mr..
Powers operates his shoe re-
pair shop.
She told about the letters her
son had sent his hopeful
parents:
HE always talked about
wanting to come back home . {.
to see the place. He has written
to nephews about what he would
like to do on the farm. He said
the happiest summer he could
remember was spent on the
farm"
When he gets home, she said,
I'm going to try to give him
all he can eat"
The elder Powers told news
men he felt an important fac
tor in gaining release of his
son was the contact made with
the wife of Rudolf Abel, the
Soviet spy.
I'VE wrote Abel a letter"
Mr.. Powers said, land he told
us to get in touch with his
wife" She was finally reached
somewhere in East Germany"
"We figured it would be a
big help if somebody was pull
ing for him (AbeD, too," Mr..
Powers added.
He said he recently wrote
his son that release would be
sooner than he expected .
but I don't know whether he
had gotten the letter."
Aiding him in working for
Capt. Powers release was At
torney Carl McAfee who has
represented the parents since
the pilot was downed May l,
1860. MIR. McAfee said he and
Col. Abel's attorney, James B.
Donovan, corresponded many
months about a possible ex-
change.
