Patrol Forces
Off Red China

TAIPEI, Formosa, June 25
(AP).-United States warships
were speeding from Japan to-
day to reinforce the It'll Fleets
Formosa patrol in the face of
a reported Chinese Communist
military buildup on the coast
opposite the Nationalist off
shore islands of Quemoy and
Matsu.
Most Of the 7th Fleet ships
that had been in the big Yoko-
suka, Japan, naval base pulled
out over the week end. A spokes-
man said only that they were
"deploying for operations at
sea-" but Pacific Fleet head
quarters in Honolulu confirmed
that they were strengthening
the patrol in the FormoSa
Strait off Red China's Fukien
Province.
A Navy spokesman in Homo
lulu said the move was almost
routine" in the light Of reports
Of the Communist buildup. He
refused to say how many ships
we're on patrol, but an uncon-
firmed report from Japan said
the reinforcements sailed from
there included the carrier Coral
Sea.
NOncombatants Evacuated
Secretary Of State Dean Rusk
and British Foreign Secretary
Lord Home were to discuss the
situation in their meeting today
in London.
The Chinese Nationalist De-
tense Ministry said the Com
munists are evacuating nom
combatants from the entire
coastal area opposite FormoSa.
These repeatedly evacuated in
cluded civil servants, military
dependents and students, but
not doctors.
The Defense Ministry has
estimated that the Communists
have 100000 men, 300 planes
and 400 small naval craft on
the invasion front" 1t also
said Sunday that the Reds have
30 submarines, but did not pin
point them as being in the For
mosa Strait.
Orders were reported to have
gone out to commanders on
Quemoy and Matsu to be
especially vigilant against pos
sible Communist action. Que
moy received one of its sporadic
Communist shellings over the
week end.
Reds Refer to Buildup
The Chinese Reds made a
possibly oblique reference to
their buildup today in an edi-
torial saying they ARE all the
time prepared to repulSe any
invasion of the coastal areas of
the mainland by the Chang
Kai-shek gang supported by
United States Imperialism"
The official Peiping Peoples
Daily accused the Nationalist
of making intensive military
dispositions for an invasion"
of the mainland and repeated
a charge Of frequent intrusions
by United States armed forces
of Red China's territorial
waters and air space.

.:- The first personal contact Highway Department personnel have. with the in- dividuals intere sted in an. area where a road is proposed is at the time of the reconnais ss ance survey. It is also the time that the department assumes the role of@a vi1lain--in the eyes of some persons = by placing out "little orange flags"
 If one were to follow the theory presented in the first arti cle, there would be no need for any surveying once the route had been. marked with brightly col ored paper dropped from an alrpIane. i The equi ipment simply moves in and hlgh- wav is built. But gineers--and the Federal agency that has part control Of the purse strings of Alaska Is highway building program--have decided on a. ~sounder more practical procedure, in- volvi ng three or maybe four surveys essential for assuring the selection of the best route.
 First on the line is party made up of geologist and highway location engineer who run a field re cOnnaiSs ance, which, although not actual survey, - results in the stalking or flagging of an approximate route. Instrume nts may or may not be used in this survey depending on the terrain. This type of field sur- vey enables the preliminary or location survey to proceed usually without any further field investigation. Aerial .. photographs are studied, extensively for this survey. :;
 1t is 2 decisive operation in high way route studies and may involve an en- tirely rev route; or. it may be an appraisal of an existing highway to determin nc if the right of way, alignment, grade and roadway has salvage va lue md can be
 incorporated into q proposed improvement. Locations on new route resulting in long fill or cut slopes are avoided when possible due to increased maintenance
 cost and impai rment of service to traffic..
 It: is at this time that the soils and materials testing section of the De- partment of Highways begins major func- tion. The geologist accompanying the
 location engineer makes visual examln- ation on this reconnaissance for. the best drainage and cites possible material to be taken for roadbuilding that is ad-~ jacent to the proposed route. Later--on location survey when the centerline is laid out--the geologist drills test holes along the centerIine to determine the type of foundation already ; present and what fill will be required ] to make the~roadway suitable to handle
 the traffic and loads that the highway : will carry. It is also at this time that

Kress whereupon he began to pack his
bags.
That was day when the Senators
(who played in daylight had a double
header scheduled. In the opener Myer was
thrown out by an umpire and suspended
Neither Travis nor Lewis could play second
base and Griff and Harris were hesitant
about shifting Bluege to the bag, what with
his age and all.
THELMA GRIFFITH, now one Of the
stockholders of the Minnesota Twins but at
the time Griff's secretary was told to call
Kress. "He's probably left by now," Griff
said, "but try, anyway"
Thelma caught Red as he was leaving
the apartment. "Unk needs you," she said.
= Can you get to the park in time for the
second game?"
kress made it in record time frankie
Baxter, who was custodian of the club
mouse, had uniform laid out. Kress
changed like fireman.
All Red did in that second game was
10 go 4-tor-4. He won the game Later,
when Myer returned, Kress was moved over
to shortstop and he did a job there. He
not only finished that season, winding up
with batting average of .284, but he was
on hand the entire year of SO, when he
hit .305
Red never did reach Chattanooga, nor
the minors anywhere. He later played for
the Red Sox, the Tigers and, finally, the
Giants.
HE WAS A BIG-LEAGUER all the wav,
and Cleveland was happy to sign him on as
coach. Nor was there more versatile
coach anywhere. He worked with those
good Indian pitchers-Bob Feller, Early
Wynn Bob Lemon and Mike Garcia-and
ne worked with the infielders and out
fielderS
Last season Red coached for the new
Los Angeles Angels. 1t was one night in
Los Angeles, when the Senator'S were play
ing, that he finally got his comeuppance.
Garcia, all washed up and trying to
make a payday with the Senators as a
pitcher, was loading the ball. He wetted
it pretty good, but cutely, too. KreSs, who
was at the coaching line, raced to the plate
and confronted Umpire Larry Napp.
Larry he roared, "Garcias throwing
a spitter!"
well" Napp replied, "if Mikes doing
it he's doing it very tidily. And if 1 recall,
you taught him how at Cleveland. Why
don't you do something about it?"
Now Red Kress finally is a minor
Lacquer, but he's manager, which is i'm
portant. He's spent a lot of years, some
due to Thelma Griffith's timely phone CALL
in the majors, and don't bet he won't be
back. He's that good.

JUST TO MIX UP the fun and games
and stuff let there be reference to an an
nouncement the other day that Ralph
kreSs had been assigned by the New York
Nets to manage their Santa Barbara farm
club in the Glass B California League.
Ralph KreSS? This had to be our guy,
who was known as Red KresS
He only played for the Senators for
three years but he figured in one of the
most popular stories in the history of base
ball. And during those seasons-1934-35-3
he was such wonderful guy to have on
ball club. No star :. not in those years
but all ballplayer, all hustle-guy
Kress had been top drawer when he
first came up with the old St. Louis Browns
in %. That was his first full campaign.
He was shortstop and he batted 273 as
rookie. The next year it was 305. After
that, Red got better.
He had good hands, sure and adept,
and wondrouS throwing arm. If he posi-
toned hitter properly, Red could go in
the hole and literally fire guy out at first
base. But most of all Red had spirit.
His only drawback was lack OF speed,
He wasn't precisely slow in his early days
but neither was he any speedball He was
this good: Had there been rookie-of-the-
year award as early as % (they didn't be-
gin until '49, when Don NeWcombe Won)
KreSs would have had to be the winner.

THE BROWNS AND THE CARDINALS
shared SportsmanS Park in those days,
Each club played II home games plus
few extras, and ere long the grass became
thinner than the hair of Kress' head in
later years. 1t was skin diamond, nothing
more, and it was tough on a guy with no
more foot than Red. Still and all, he made
some marvellous plays.
The Browns shuffled him off to the
Chicago White Sox in 80 and then he be-

"They didn't stop us. The
Giants did"
From the press box it seemed
the other way around. Led by
Pvt. Hornung, on leave from
Fort Riley, Kans., the Packers
broke the game wide open with
a 24-point splurge in the sec
ond quarter and coasted home.

The statistics were not nearly
as impressive as the Packers
seemed to be. The winners
ground out 181 yards to New
York's 81 on what seemed a
chalk-marked skating rink.
They outgained the Fasteners
through the air. 164-119. They
collected 19 first downs to the
Giants six and at no time after
the first quarter did anyone
get the mistaken idea that the
Giants had a chance.

with a six-yard touchdown run
on the first play of the second
quarter. Before the game was
over he added four extra points
and three field goals, for a
