Hoppe, DOnOhue Hot

The Senators said that Joe
Hoppe, the Angels shortstop,
was so mad he was sizzling
after he missed getting O'Con-
nell on Ed Sidewalks throw.

audience that Jim Donohue,
the first relief pitcher was
burning.
He made a half dozen need
less throws to second with
O'Connell standing not more
than a step off the bag, coming
a little closer to Danny each
time. Donohue finally threw
one into centerfield and Danny
romped to third. Now the
Angels were hopping mad.
But it was a pleasant eve
ming for the Senators, for q
change, as they finally hit
double figures In victories. Pete
Burnside added to his personal
record Of complete games with
his fifth as he won No. 4, and
he added q personal record for

NowIfs Simmons
Who Poles Roberts

LESS THAN FIVE YEARS ago Curt
Simmons was worth about 80 cents on the
baseball market but Robin Roberts was
untouchable. Today, such are the vagaries
Of the pastime, Roberts had to shop with
his hat in his hand before catching on with
the Orioles. But Simmons is one Of the
hottest and most valuable articles in the
National League, a guy who Is helping the
st. Louis Cardinals hang in there.
These are the two bonus kids the Phil
lies signed at about the same time when
the Phils were operating more sharply,
luckily, or both. In the late 194Os the Phils
gave the young southpaw, Simmons, $685.
600 to sign. Roberts, husky kid out Of
Michigan State, settled for $4,000.
Roberts was rated better basketball
than baseball performer in college. AS for
Simmons, there wasn't much he couldn't do
on the ball field. He pitched and played
the outfield as kid He won an All-Amer-
ican Boy East-West game with triple,
beating the club managed by Ty Cobb.
Anybody who can hit as well as you
do shouldn't fool with pitching" Cobb told
him. Better stick to the outfield, where
you can play every day."
THEY WERE SUCH TREMENDOUS
prospects in the Phillies' training camp at
Clearwater, Fla, in the spring Of 1948 that
it seemed just question Of short time
before the once-lowly Quakers had to win
a pennant.
II don't know which is better" Pitch
ing Coach Bennie Bengough said after
warming up both. Lets Just say that one
is righthanded, the other left"
They put in brief apprenticeships at
Wilmington, Curt posting 1876 mark in
1947 and Roberts a 81 record in 48. Then
they were ready. And, true enough, by 1850
the Phillies had made and won their PEN
nant race. Roberts was 20-11, Simmons
17-8 even though he missed the last few
weeks of the season because Of q military
call.
But Roberts kept going whereas Sim
mons stopped. Robin won minimum Of
20 games for six straight seasons, and Just
missed with 10 in the seventh. After
Simmons got tangled up in Uncle's armed
forces, he never was quite as sharp.
In SO he never won game for the
Phillies and was shipped to Williamsport.
He was released and the Cards picked him
up, cheap.
ROBERTS HAS NO record for 49, Re-
leased by the Phillies last winter, the
Yankees took him on despite his LILO mark
last summer and despite his high salary.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, TOO, WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE TEEN-AGER

NEW YORK M George Washington, too, worried about the teen-ager.
 His concern was expressed in TITO about his stepson, John Parke Custis, then IT.
 Washington, in letter to young Custis' tutor, the Rev. Jonathan Boucher, an Anglican clergyman in Annapolis, said in part:
 ssThe time of life he is now advancing into requires the most friendly aid and council tespecial- ly in such place as Annapolis)s otherwise the warmth or his own passions, assisted by the bad ex- ample of other youth may prompt him to actions derogatory to virtue and that innocence of man. ners which one could wish to pre- serve him in
 Washington said he had the youths well-being at heart and would be sorry ito see him fall
  into any vice, or evil course, which there is possibility of re- straining him from"
 The letter was one of 42 letters and documents of the Revolution ary War period presented to Columbia University by MT. and Mrs. Alfred C. BeroId of New York City.
 Custis was Martha Washing toms son by her first marriage, to Daniel Parke Custis. Washing ton reared the boy as if he were his own son.
 Keep him aas much as possible under your own eye" Washing ton told the tutor.

Army Patients Test
 New Paper Products In Alaska's Sub-Arctic Cold

There are hospital patients lit terally wrapped in paper at the 64th Field Hospital, set up at Tanacross for the Army's annual mid-winter field maneuver, Ex- ercise Great Bear.
 These patients are helping to test the Arrny's new paper ward products. Sheets, pillow cases and blankets made of paper are being tested here in the sub-Arctic to find out how they stand up to rough usage in the field hospital, and if they are as comfortable for the patient as cloth products.
 One such patient is Pvt. James Schilling 3 cook with Co. E, 2nd Battle Group, 60th Infantry, from Ft. Devens, Mass.
 'sI feel like I'm somebody's birthday gift, all wrapped up. All ] need is a bright ribbon around my bead" he said
 Army nurse It. Col. Dorothy Kraftachenk told Schillin 2. you're all wrapped up and no place to go"
 Actually" says Col. Kraft achenk, tthese paper bedclothes are still in the experimental stage" The sheets, pillow cases and blankets are snow white and soft to the touch. It is only after close scrutiny that you can tell they are made of 8 paper fiber.
 The nurse continued, Hso far the pillow cases seem practical and sturdy. They slip on the pillow easily and are soft on the patients head. But it will be some time before the Army can reach de- finite conclusion as to the use of paper clothes"

Air. Force Displays Typical Man Being Trained Today

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. R, = The typical man being trained today for Air Force service is a slender, young high school graduate who is bachelor but is thinking seriously of marriage. Specifically, he's Airman Basic James Maynard, 19, Flight 162 of the 3706th Basic Military Training Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base.
 Officials at Military Training Headquarters at Lackland pinned the designation on the William son, W. Va, youth after survey ing hundreds of thousands of trainee records.
 The average Air Force trainee, the survey showed, is 1eyaars old, stands 5 feet 812 inches tall, weighs 148 pounds, is high school graduate, has no depend ents, wears size 811 shoe, has 30-inch waist and wears 15- inch collar.
 Maynard, son of MT. and Mrs. Edward Maynard of Williamson, matches every facet of the de- scription.
 The Air Force looked over 18,000 trainees at Lackland to find Maynard, who enlisted Jan. 28 with the understanding that he'll be trained as mechanic when he completes basic training.
 Maynard, a 1861 graduate of Williamson High School, is a blue-eyed. dark-haired, ruddy- complexioned youth whose hobby Is woodworking.
 He worked at a machine and electrical company in his home town before enlisting. He is engaged to Miss Anna Mae Napier of Williamson = a fact expected to take him out of the mo dependents" category be- fore too long.
 Maynard has no complaints about the rigorous basic training program, which apparently has stimulated his appetite. He has gained one pound per week, an- other area in which he matches the average Air Force trainee.

Kennedy Urges Pay Raise for Uncle Sam's White Collar Workers

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy urged Congress yester- day to provide billion-dollar pay raise over three years for the governments white collar workers. The aim, he said, is to put federal pay on a par with that outside so that competent people can afford to work for Uncle Sam.
 The President said in a special message that he was proposing federal pay reform, not simply federal pay raise.'
 For the whole field of white collar workers, the increase would amount 10 10 per cent of the pre- sent $10-billion annual payroll. But for individuals, the raises would range from 3.7 per cent to about B per cent for the three year period. The first increase would come Jan. I.
 Kennedy said he is proposing a wholly new, common sense ap- proach to the problem of putting federal salaries on a basis com parable to those in non-federal service. This would be done for all but the highest-level officials. And for them, Kennedy said, the most vital single element in the proposal is pay adjustments for top executive and professional positions. Many of these top-rank employees, he said, are being drawn away by higher pay out side. Low government wages endanger national security.
 The pay reform would apply to I $40, ,0Oo employees spread through out the world. It would not af- feet approximately 660,O00 blue collar workers in skilled trades and crafts.
 Everybody in the white collar category would get some sort of raise. For the lowest grade, GS-1 the entrance salary of $3,185 would go up to 8, ,225 next Jan. l, to $3,265 a year later and to $3,305 In the third step.
 The biggest group in any one class is the 168, ,000 workers in GS-4. Those are mainly clerical workers-file clerks, stenograph- CTS or clerk typists. The top salary in this grade would reach $5,475 at the end of the three year salary reform program com pared with present peak of $4, 1885.
