AT FORT MYER
The Three BGs'
together Again

Wheeler loves the oval din
ing room with its scenic wall
paper and handsome chan
deliers. "You know" she said,
"this wing was added in 1908
and the house was built in
1899. I was sorry at first
when I learned we were to
leave France after so short
a stay, then I thought of the
honor to my husband, and
when I came to the door of
this house I had a great
lump in my throat at the
thought that this historic
place was now my home"
Coming Home
Fort Myer is like coming
home to the Wheelers. They
lived at Quarters GOA from
1855 to 1859 and way back
in 1851 there was a short
tour in Washington when
they lived in nearby Fairfax.
Again last year they were in
quarters at the Fort before
going to France.
There is not much Mrs.
Wheeler hasn't done in her
quiet, charming way. She re-
furnishes lovely antique
frames that are her pride.
She loves the garden, and is
lost without a dog. AS a young
bride at Fort Benning. Ga.
she undertook to be a cub
reporter for a friend who was
called away suddenly. And
don't think that $40 was not
a big factor" she laughed.
"Our income at that time
was $3.50 a month but how I
suffered! Me, who hates to
talk on the telephone!"
Tours of duty for her hus-
band have taken the family to
Italy, Germany and France.
They were in Italy, said Mrs.
Wheeler, when BIN was the
10 to is age. There was no
distraction Of television or
radio so we continued our
daily habit of reading to-
gether. 1t has been Of great
value to him, a habit hard to
break. He still reads a part
of each day."
1t Is from Mrs. Wheeler's
friends that one learns of her
visits to those unable to go
out or who are in trouble.
Let the doctor call from
the hospital, eve have an
elderly person here with no
family. She needs cheer
ing" And Mrs. Wheeler is
there in short order. Her
friends say, she never for
gets, she has friends who
were with them when they
were starting Army life. They
are still in her thoughts and
know that they can call her
at any time they need a
helping hand. Furthermore,
they all agree she has never
been heard to make an I'M
kind remark.
Welcome Home
Members of the Fort Myer
Women'S Club were happy to
see her again and their reSu-
lar monthly luncheon last
week turned into a welcome

Gravity Starvation
As Space Peril Studied

scientists attending a week-long
Injecting on aerospace medicine
here. The question Of gravity
hunger's existence cannot be
answered affirmatively or neg
atively at present because no
one has been outside gravity's
influence for long enough,
Capt. Bruce H. Warren said.
Must Learn in Space
The young scientist, who
holds doctorates in philosophy
and medicine, put it to his
listeners thus:
1--WE know what happens to
an organism if it is deprived
of food, water and oxygen, but
we do not know what will oc-
cur when the effect of gravity
which Is just as intimately
a part Of daily living on earth
is removed for prolonged pc
riods of time"
Soviet Maj. Gherman Titov
was weightless in orbit for one
day and the Russian dog Laika
was in "zero-G" for about a
week, and these are the rec
ords, Capt. Warren pointed out.
He told of experiments SIM
ulating the weightless condi-
tion that will prevail in outer
space, and said progress is be-
ing made along these lines. But
the real thing - periods of
zero-G In orbit for several
weeks-will be necessary be-
fore outstanding questions are
answered.
Capt. Warren is a staff men,
ber of the School of Aerospace
Medicine at Brooks Air Force
Base near here, where the lee
ture series Is being conducted.
Tell Of In-Flight Checkups
Two other members Of the
school staff told of methods of
keeping track Of a spaceman's
physical condition.
1--WE can get better electro
cardiograms today on pilots fly
ing jet aircraft than most ply
sicians can get on patients in
their Offices" Capt. Ray w.
Ware told the scientists. Tiny,
highly sensitive electrodes are
affixed to pilots's bodies and
function in flight with no dis
comfort to the subject, he
said.
Capt. James A. Roman, like
Capt. Warren, a double doc
tor" said such instruments are
essential for space flights. "a
pilot is very poor judge of
what is happening to him ply
siologically," Capt. Roman said.
Cites Terrific Stress
The stress placed on pilots
of high-performance aircraft
and to be placed in the future
on spacemen-is tremendous,
Capt. Roman told the scien-
tific group. He showed blood
pressure records of a pilot fly
ing an F-100 combat plane. In
contrast with the pilots nor
NAL pressure of 120-over-80, he
reacted to the stress of un-
eventful level flight with a
pressure of 1896 and in the
ticklish landing maneuver his
pressure went UP to 1914,
almost the apoplexy level for
the average citizen.
II doubt very much If you
could get a man this worried
in the laboratory if you stuck
to socially acceptable ways"
Capt. Roman said.

Patient He'll
Necessary to
Control T.B.

THE following feature article
was received by the Times
from Amos F. Singer, Chair
man of the Navajo Patient Ben
eft Club at the Albuquerque
Indian Hospital J
The T.B. patient who leaves the
hospital against medical advice is
one of the great problems in T.B.
eradicatio today. The sickperson
stays sick and meanwhile spreads
his germs to other people.
We know it isn't easy for the
T.B. patient to stay in the hospital.
Compared to the length of hospital
stay for other illnesses the time in
the hospital for the T.B. patients
is a long One--often months. In
spite of everything the hospital can
provide to help the time pass, the
minutes go by very slowly. The
T.B. patient has too much time to
think, and the weight of his illness
tends to make him brood.
The least complaint or tone of
anxiety from his family will be
mulled over and exaggerated out of
all proportion. Lack of any news
may have the same effect. AS a
result the patients thoughts may
be something like this: Something
is wrong. " "The family isn't get
ting along without me. " "The bills
aren't being paid" ''The children
aren't getting proper care" ''Pd

to take care of things"
1t is vital for all members of
the family of tuberculous patient
to understand their importance to
his care. Community agencies can
help them through their financial
and other domestic problems. The
f a mily can help the patient by
bringing him up to date on anyfam-
lily news that will not depress him
and include him in family discus
sions on matters which will not
upset him.

NEW YORK, Nov. S0.-The
baseball meetings marked the
end OF an era yesterday when
the American Association was
dissolved before the minor
league sessions ended in Roch-
ester. but the major league
conclave opened here on a har-
monious note as player repre-
sentatives and owners quickly
patched up their differences.
There was a lull in the trade
market as the club executives
spent most Of the day in travel
and meetings, but already tine
IL deals made at Rochester are
believed to be a record for the
winter meetings.
Player representatives agreed
to a cancellation Of the second
An-Star Game when they were
offered 95 per cent of the gate

nue. from the one All-Star
Game, which probably will be
played in Minneapolis. 1t is the

Our New First Bosenon
Also Plays the Guitar

NEW YORK, NOV. 80. - Such is the
nature of the Senators that it's almost
certain they will open the season - and
possibly close it-with Rogelio Alvarez on
first base Who is Rogelio Alvarez? Good
question. Not many people seem to know.
But apparently he wins the job by default,
Alvarez became the property of the
Senators a couple of days ago. Harry
Bright, who was building up modest
following as clutch hitter, was traded to
Cincinnati in an even-up exchange that
was overshadowed by another deal involv-
ing first baseman. That was the one that
moved Bill Skowron from the Yankees to
the Dodgers.
Aside from the cryptic comments on
succinct scouting report, Alvarezs new
bosses seem to know little about him, ex-
cept that he's nine years younger than
Bright. AS for the Reds, here's Manager
Fred Hutchinson talking:
"I only saw Alvarez in four games for
us. That was when Gordon Coleman was
hurt last season. You can't tell much about
a fellow after a four-game performance
but he's young. strong, can play the posi-
tion and seems to swing good bat. We
needed righthanded pinch-hitter, so we
dealt off Alvarez for Bright"
HANK ZURICH, WHO beats the drums
for the Reds, was vague about Alvarez until
he got on the telephone and began calling
long distance points, including Cincinnati
and San Diego, where Rogelio performed
last season with distinction.
IF we didn't have so many first base
men," Zurich announced at the conclusion
of his research, "I doubt if Hutch would
have traded him. But we've got Coleman
and then, too. there are Marty Keough and
Don Pavletich and, if necessary, Frank
Robinson.
"But to get to the point" Zurich said,
briskly regrouping his thoughts. "Rogelio
plays the guitar so my advisers in Cincin-
natl tell me. Also, if you have trouble
remembering 'Rogelio,' he's got nickname
-Borrego.'"
Right or lefthanded?" Zurich was
pressed.
when he plays the guitar or first
baSe?" Hank snapped.
well, you name it," it was suggested.
Hes righthanded all the way" Zurich
proclaimed, consulting his notes. Bats,
strums and throws righthanded. Nice kid
wears snazzy hats, invariably with a
feather sticking out of the band"
FURTHER QUESTIONING disclosed
that the 24-year old Alvarez, Cuban Negro
who halls from Pinar Del Rio, started his
pro career at Yuma in 1856. He had a
humdinger of year in ST, batting 367

with Clovis until that club folded in the
Southwestern League and finishing with
Wenatchee. Total for the season: 100 runs
batted in, SO home runs.
Hes about the only Cuban player, I
understand, who went home last season
and was allowed to return" Zurich said.
HE must know some exits that Fidel hasn't
discovered"
Whats with this nickname Borrego'?
That's a nickname9 Rogelio isn't any
harder"
Beats me-" Hank said, again studying
his notes. Our scouting report doesn't
quite cover it :.
When Alvarez moved up to Triple-A in
SO 1t was with Havana in the International
League. Then only 20, he batted .268 and
the long ball he hit was so impressive that
critics were calling him the leagues rookie
OF the year. But the following season,
again playing for Havana, he slumped to
1876.
81 DON'T KNOW WHAT happened in
&c." Zurich confessed. Maybe he felt he
should have been moved up to the Reds
and didn't give damn. There's one cita-
tion on the scouting report for that year
he hit home run that was measured at
532 feet"
Performed in fit of pique," it was
suggested.
That's your theory, not mine," Hank
retorted. Anyway, you can't fault last
season."
Nor can one. Even carping critic
must admit that Alvarez's .318 batting
average at San Diego with appropriate
measurements in other fields, was impress
sive. And, as mentioned earlier, he's got
nine years on Bright Incidentally was
Bright traded or railroaded?

WHEN GEN. PETE QUESADA suggested
last August that both General Manager Ed
Doherty and Field Manager Mickey Vernon
might be replaced he dwelt briefly on a
mission which he felt that Doherty had
failed to accomplish.
This was a trip to Arizona in March,
Doherty was to snare and bring back Vic
Power, then of the Indians, to play first
base. Il was sorry we didn't get him."
Quesada said in August.
The general was speaking in the past
tense. Meanwhile, Bright had turned from
catcher to first baseman When he read
of Quesada's apparent regret that Doherty
had failed to acquire Power. he allegedly
told off the boss. Words like, You want to
match Powers batting average with mine?"
Harry was only kidding" Gen. Quesada
said just a while ago. II have nothing but
admiration for Harry Bright"

are given to the Navy platoons.
But that is where Army's
flashinesS ends and Navy's be-
gins. The Cadets go in for the
plodding three-yards-at-a clip
attack, while the Middies' plan
is designed to go all the way
on a single play especially
with Staubach directing the Of
fense.
TwO-Way Ace
AS a runner the sensational
sophomore has picked up 23l
yards on II carries and as 9
passer he's connected on 56 OF
IS attemps for 778 yards. From
these statistics it's obvious he
has done a lot of playing since
he was reclaimed from the
bench in Navy's fourth game.
/ Army goes with two quarter
backs-Joe Blackgrove of the
Regulars and Cammy Lewis of
the Go team-but neither can
claim both the qualities of
Staubach. Lewis, called the
better passer, completed 81 of
73 tosSes for 274 yards, and
Blackgrove eight of is for 122
yards.
Running, Blackgrove carried
the ball 80 times for lot yards.
But he is also an effective
blocker who can help clear a
path after he flipS to one of his
halfbacks.
John Seymour, a 6-foot-1,
204-pound halfback, has done
most of Army's ball carrying
and has a remarkable record.
He's logged 496 yards on 81
carries for a So average. Pat
Donnelly, Navy's sophomore
fullback, is the Middies' prin-
cipal ball-carrier, but has
gained only 321 yards on 95
carries for a 3.3 average, con-
siderably short of Seymour's.
Breakaway Threats
John Sal and Jim Stewart are
Navy's chief breakaway threats.
Unless it is Ken Waldrop, Army
doesn't have anybody who can

Split Twin Bills Out
The Objectionable day-night
split twin bills will not be
played with the exception of the
Memorial Day double-header
in Minneapolis, which in the
past has drawn about $4,000 for
each game.
The owners rejected the
players request to increase the
minimum salary from $1,000 to
$500.
The new topic of public iden-
tification of the official scorers,
who are members of the Base
ball Writers Association, was
received favorably by the own
ers, but the manner in which
the scorer will be identified was
not settled.
The players suggested that
the scorers be numbered on the
scorecardS, like umpires, and
the number be posted on the
scoreboard. But some clubs,
Kansas City for one, pointed
out that it has run out of space
on the scoreboard and that it
would cost between $4,000 and
$4,000 to post the numbers.
An alternate plan was sug-
gested that the public address
announcer name the official
scorer.
The owners will discuss this
matter further today and to-
morrow.
Only Solution
Pitcher Bob Friend Of the
Pirates, spokesman for the Ma
tional League player represen-
tatives, said the players were
not dissatisfied with the scor-
ing by the writer's, but thought
that Identification would add
to the prestige and encourage
the scorers to bear down"
