After One Pitch

then he called him everything
in the book, according to YER
non. Mickey and Coach George
SuSce kept Jim away from
Salerno. but after he returned
to the bench he went berserk.
Vernon and Schaive held him
down until he was under con-
troll and Vernon sent him to
dress. He did not return to
the hotel with the team.
Helps Lock, Hinton
Piersall is batting .246 and
has driven in only % runs. He
has made several sensational
catches lately. but some balls
have fallen in for hits that
he would have gobbled up in
previous years. He leads a
rather lonesome life, but can
not be accused of not being a
team player. He has made
better outfielders of both Don
Lock and Chuck Hinton, as
they will attest. He blames him
self for some of the Senator'S
failures.
Stenhouse lost his fifth
straight game. When he was
winning he was getting more
runs than any pitcher on the
staff and good support. But
the Senators have scored only
one run for him in his last 18
innings and his support has
been mediocre. He also is get
ting hit hard.
Kralick failed to finish for
the 26th time in 20 starts when
Manager Sam Mele lifted him
after Lock singled with the
bases loaded in the eighth.
All Hit Singles
After Schaive reached base
on an error as a pinch-hitter,
Hicks singled for the second
time. Chuck Cottier famed,
but Hinton walked. loading the
bases. Harry Bright, who is
swinging like a tired man,
popped to deep short. but Lock
drove in two runs. Ray Moore
came in and famed Pinch
Hitter Jim King on a called
third strike after King brought
a roar when he ripped a drive

Moore famed Bob Schmidt
and Pinch-Hitter Bud Zipfel
and got Ken RetZer on a fly
to left in the ninth.
The Twins scored twice in
the fifth on Lennie Green's
line single with runners on
second and third, and added
two in the sixth on a walk
two singles and sacrifice. They
added an unearned run in the
eighth. All of the games IL
hits were singles, which is un-
usual in this home-run para
disc.
NOTES-Retzer, who had to
be carried on the plane in
Portland after a foul tip hit
him on the right instep, was
feared lost for several days. An
X-ray was negative and he
made a startling recovery,
enough to pinch hit. Lock

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. o.
Jim Piersall'S hasSles with the
umpires and the sudden in
effectiveness of Dave Stenhouse
are creating new problems for
Senators Manager Mickey Yer
non, who already has his share.
Piersall lasted for just one
pitch and StenhouSe staggered
through seven innings as the
Twins beat the Senators, So,
last night before 1880 excited
fans who reacted as though
they were cheering on a pen
nant winner.
The victory, coupled with the
Angels loss to the Yankees,
moved Minnesota into a Sec
ond-place tie with Los Angeles,
five games behind New York.
The loss was the seventh in
eight games for Washington.
Jack Kralick added to the
festive mood of the unexpect-
edly large crowd as he went
5b innings before be allowed
a hit, a line single to left
center by Joe Hicks, Piersall's
replacement.
Vernon and John Schaive
forcibly restrained Piersall in
the dugout after Umpire AL
Salerno elected him. Piersall
threw down his bat in protest
over a called strike on the first
pitch of the game and a min
ute later Salerno thumbed him
out.
Piersall Showing Strain
1t was Salerno who threw
PierSall out of a recent game
in Washington. He was the
first base umpire at the time
and PierSall was on first when
he cursed the plate umpire for
a call on the next batter.
Mickey said he probably
would use Hicks in centerfield
tonight, partly because of his
two hits last night and partly
because PierSall is showing the
strain of his worst season and
the Senator'S losing ways.
Vernon had a talk with Pier
sail in Los Angeles last Satur-
day after Jim was fined $50
by Joe Cronin for thumbing
his nose at a spectator. Pierssll
seemed to settle down after
that. His department was ex-
cellent Sunday and he put or
one of his best shows for the
exhibition crowd in Portland
Monday night.
Jim took the discomfort O.
arriving here at 8 am. yester.
day and being up all night with
a minimum of complaint. He
appeared in a good mood on
the pre-game bus ride to Met
ropolitan Stadium. He has said
before that he likes to put on
a show here. He had the Twins
in stitches with his remarks
around the cage in batting
practice.
SalernO Takes Action
Salerno called a pitch that
appeared high and outside a
strike. Piersall threw down his
bat. walked in back of Salerno,
and the umpire ordered him
into the batter's box. Suddenly
he thumbed PierSall out.
Mickey said that as Jim STEP
ped in for the second pitch he
yelled something to Kralick
and Salerno took action. Sa-
lerno told Vernon that he had a
ball game to run and he wasn't
going to have Piersall show him
up.
Piersall did not curse Salerno
until he was thrown out and

Partial Thnw

We have never taken very seriously
the possibility that the new Dulles
Airport, after its completion this year,
might not be widely used by the major
airlines.' An element of uncertainty on
this score nevertheless has persisted, fed
largely by the fact that the lines have
not yet formally committed themselves.
1t is good news, therefore, that oral
agreement has been reached between
the airlines and the Federal Aviation
Agency on at least the ALLEGATION of
space in the uItra-modern terminal and
service buildings.
The substantial problem still ahead
is to agree on rates and fees which will
be charged the airlines, matter on
which negotiations will open February ]. .
Federal Aviation Administrator Halaby
has made the point that the airIines
should expect to pay considerably more
than they are accustomed to paying in
the Washington area, since Dulles will
be the finest airport of its kind in the
country. 1t is only natural, however,
that the airlineS should maneuver for
the best deal they can make And it is
hardly surprising if, in the process, they
play their cards close to the vest.

sioners long ago should have been part
Of the team.
Although many of the larger cities
spend huge sums each year in trying
to induce conventions and other groups
and individuals to visit within their
borders, Washington in the past has
had to depend wholly on private pro-
motiOnal efforts, financed by business
interests, The program has been directed
by the trade boards Washington Con-
vention and Visitors Bureau. Last year
Congress finally agreed to approve a
$4,000 District contribution to the
convention fund, provided at least $780,
900 was raised from private sources
The fund drive, r.lder leadership of
William H Dyer, local financier, brought
in S253,475.
The money invested by the District
and the business community in the pro-
gram will produce big dividends in terms
OF trade for hotels, stores and other
business firms and in additional tax
revenues for the District. Thus, all con-
cerned will profit from the undertaking.

Impetus for Transit

1t is generally agreed that the
most economical way-and perhaps the
only practical Way-to secure rapid
transit routes in the Washington area
is to acquire little extra land when
rights-of-way are purchased for the
massive new arterial freewayS proposed
in Maryland and Virginia. Until re-
Gently, however, there has been a dis
tinct absence of resources to pay for
the eXtra-Wide median strips. The first
small breakthrough came a few months
ago, when Congress gave the National
Capital Transportation Agency lin
tied amount Of money for this purpose.
Now an extremely encouraging pro-
poSal has been made by the influential
Virginia Advisory Legislative Council.
In a report to the Governor, the
council recommends that the Virginia
Highway Commission be authorized to
use general funds of the State to
help supplement the purchase of such
transit rightS-of
There is no assurance, of course,
that the Legislature will buy this pro-
poSal. Indeed, there is every reason to
expect strong resistance. Nevertheless,
such Northern Virginia members as
Senators FenWick and Donovan have
promised to fight for it, and the very
fact that such an official recommen-
datiOn has been made by the VALC is
a notable advance for the cause of
transit. In Maryland few weeks ago
1t was refreshing to hear State Roads
Chairman Funk, in al exceptional
speech for a highway man, recognize
the fOolhardinesS of attempting to solve
urban transportation problems entirely
by serving automobiles. Perhaps the
VALC report will give rise to such
thinking also among Virginia highway
officials.
Meanwhile, the VALC also recon-
mended that the Legislature urge the
Federal Government to establish a
pilot project in Virginia, designed to
stimulate the use of commuter rail-
road passenger service. According to
Virginia authorities, the establishment
of such project at some location is
favored by the Commerce Department
group at work on administration trans
portation policy. We agree with the
VALC that the teening Virbinia sub
urbS of the Nations Capital would
provide an excellent place for the OK
pertinent.

Fer the Public Good

The Commissioners have decided
wisely to acquire the Boiling and
AnacoStia air fields for development
through urban renewal In all, this
vast tract covers some 627 acres. Pos
Sloly never again will there be a chance
TO start from scratch in the develop
ment OF such large area, located so
Strategically close to the center Of
washington, to provide whatever uses
are determined to be in the best in
ter2stS Of the community
Under urban renewal, the develop
ment will be carried out by private
investors, who should be ENCOURAGED
to use their own initiative and inven-
tiVenesS at the earliest possible time.
From the moment it appeared that
the air fields would become surplus to
Government needs, however, it has
seemed to us obvious that a broad
element of public control also was
needed to assure that the fullest pos
SlbIe advantage is taken of the site.
Most Of the area is expected to be
vacated by the military next fall, and
to be available for urban renewal
about the end of the year. In the
meanwhile, the Commissioners should
take the initiative in reaching an early
agreement on the basic objectives to
be sought in the new Development
objectiveS which should be clearly un-
nerStOod by the public as we'll as by
pubic agencies, and which will provide
a basis for the detailed planning to
follow. -t.
No doubt a variety of proposals
will be made as to use of the land,
and certainly strong consideration must
be given to housing For since there
are no families to be displaced. this
project affords unique opportunity
Tor tremendous net gain in the total
city housing market. Indeed, it could
well be the answer, for which city of
fIcialS have looked so vainly in the
past, to the problem of replacement
housing for families evicted from other
renewal areas. Possibly, a substantial
amount of housing could be provided
for low and middle-income families.
Final decisions on such detectives, how
ever, will require close and continuous
cooperation among a number of
agencies. a-....,
Actually, the decision to bring the
Boiling Anacostia region under the
sweep of urban renewal was reached
only after much soul-searching at the
District Building, including consider
able indecision as to the eligibility of
the area for urban renewal assistance.
While officials seem to have satisfied
themselves on this point, we hope no
further legal complications arise to
plague project which in all respects
makes good sense.

L0otian Outlook

Apparently as a result of pres
sure from our State Department, pro-
Western Premier-Prince Boun Gum,
whose anti-COmmuniSt government of
Laos is generally described as right
wing" has agreed to fly to Geneva to
resume negotiations aimed at organ
izing coalition regime. However, he
has done so with obvious reluctance,
and there is Scant reason for optimism
about the possibility that he and the
"neutraliStS" and Reds will be able to
arrive at an early agreement guaran-
teeing the little Kingdoms neutrality,
independence and peace.
AS already agreed upon, the premier
of the new coalition government, when
and if formed, is to be "neutralist"
Prince Souvanna Phouma. Also to be
represented in this regime is the pro-
Communist faction of Prince Soupha-
nOuvong, who has been closely associated
with the Red-led Pathet Lao guerrillas.
In undertaking to talk again with
these men, Boun Gum has left no room
for doubt that he deeply diStrusts both
and that he is altogether opposed to
the idea-an idea supported by the
United States as we'll as the Soviet
Union-of handing over the defense
and interior ministries to the projected
coalitions "neutraliStS"
1t is not hard to understand why
BOun Gum feels this way The two
ministries, after all, run the army and
police, and they thus would be the key
centerS of power in the coalition. AS
such, if placed under the authority of
SOuvanna-a man whose "neutralism"
in the past has seemed very one-Sided
in favor of communism-they might
easily be infiltrated by and eventually
pass under the control of Souphanou-
vong's pro-Red faction. The coalitions
efforts to hold itself together and main
tain Laos as genuinely independent
and neutral land would then amount to
nothing but lost cause.
These are chief among the con-
SiderationS that have led Boun Gum to
follow the line he has thus far, and
there certainly is a solid basis for his
fears. Yet unless he and the two other
princes manage to agree upon a coali-
ton government, there is likely to be
a resumption of large-Scale guerrilla
warfare that could grow into a very
big and dangerous Southeast Asian
conflict involving Red China, the Soviet
Union and the United States. 1t is for
that reason that the effort must be
made to negotiate an agreement that
will remove Laos from the cold war and,
hold out at least some hope of guaran-
teeing its existence as free neutral

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
New Frontiers Without Economy

If all the domestic pro-
grams and proposals rec
commended by Pre- sident
nnedy in his second
state-of- -the-Union message
to Congress are carried out
the United States will be
much farther on it's road to
becoming a welfare state" It
will be argued by some and
probably by many that there
is nothing wrong in the
States taking over the well
fare of the American people.
Indeed, much already has
been accomplished toward
that end. The original con-
cept Of the men who fought
for the liberty of the Ameri-
can people and the men who
wrote the Constitution of the
United States was that the
people, having won their lib
erty, would use their freedom
of action to take care of
themselves. Safeguards were
written into the Constitution
protecting the rights of the
people themselves and of the
individual States which make
up the Union. The whole ten
or of the message delivered by
the President to Congress is
toward RECOMMENDATION of the
people, of their local govern
mentS and of the States by
the Federal Government in
Washington.
With an election coming up
next fall-and a presidential
election two years later-the
recommendations of the Pres
ident promise much to many.
The Federal Government,
now in the hands of a Dem
ocratic administration, will
be the paymaSter. The New
Dealers, the Fair Dealers and
the New Frontiersmen, al
ready having moved strongly
into control of the States
through programs of many
kinds, paid for ostensibly by
the Federal Government but
actually by the States them
selves, now propose to take
over control of urban affairs
the big cities and smaller
cities. President Kennedy has
recommended that the Con-
gress enact into law the ad-
miniStration'S bill for the
creation of a new Department
of Urban Affairs. The argu-
ment for the measure is that
the cities need advice and aid
in handling their govern
mentS and in making neceS-
Sary improvments-and that
all this advice should come
from Washington. This is
only a step in the direction
of more Federal appropria-
tions for Federal programs
for the cities. With the prog
resS of centralization of all
government in Washington
D. c., already made, this
move toward control of the
cities should not be surpris-
ing.
Argument in Theory
In some quarters the cry
goes up that State govern
ments and city governments
particularly are corrupt" and
if they are not corrupt, they
are inefficient, that when all
control is centered in a Su-
pergovernment, corruption
and inefficiency will vanish
This we have never yet tried
SO who's to say these critics
of local governments are
wrong?
All these domestic programs
Evening star., 1962-01-13

to be financed out Of the
Federal Treasury are closely
interlocked with the economy
of the United States. The
President in his message pro-
poses many measures to safe
guard that economy. Some Of
them are startling, including
his recommendations that he
be given power to raise and
reduce taxes, and to lower
tariff duties on imports. He
is proposing to send to Con-
greSS next a balanced budget
for the next fiscal year, be-
ginning July l and ending
June 80, 1868, although the
budget will be a S93-billion
affair and the President is
asking Congress for an i'm
mediate heightening of the
national debt ceiling - to
more than $500 billion, to
take care of spending in the
present fiscal year, presum-
ably.
Economy Safeguard Vital
The need to safeguard the
economy of the United States
is vital, if we are to protect
the American people from
disastrous initiation and if we
are to be able to protect the
United States from the CON-
munist threat to take over.
The proposals made to Con-
gress by the President look to
no "austerity"-no tightening
of the belt-either on the
part of the Federal Govern
ment or on the part of the
people, themselves. Yet it is
by austerity that other ma
tions have been able to put
their finances in order and
to protect their currencies.
The new frontiers of the
Kennedy administration es-
sentially call for greater Gov
ernment spending and for
bigger and bigger Govern
ment. These are the doctrines
which are called bold" and
are said to be leading to an
ever-eXpanding economy and
higher standards of living.
There is a field, however, in
which the Kennedy admins
tration has so far en-
tirely side-stepped one Of the
greatest contributors to in
flation of prices and to the
diminution of the dollar val
ue, that is, the wage-price spi-
raj. There has been nothing
bold about the Presidents
handling of that problem. In
his message to Congress Mr..
Kennedy said:
"Our first line Of defense
against initiation is the good
sense and the public spirit of
business and labor-keeping
their total increases in wages
and profits in step with pro-
ductivity. There is no single
statistical test to guide each
company and union. But I
strongly urge them all to ap-
ply the test of the public
interest"
Since the AFL-CIO already
has gone on record as in
tending to go after wage in
creaseS - despite an appeal
made to it earlier by the
President-it is obvious one
end of the wage-price spiral
is on its way. Further, it has
weapons to enforce its de-
mands-weapons that are not
deflected by law or admin
istration, even though the
economy of the country and
the people may be disastrous
ly affected.

There have been remissions
but, for the most part, these
have been incomplete and
short-lived. Because of the
partial Improvements, how
ever, these drug compounds
are under intensive study.
The effect of the anti-leu-
kemic agents is on the bone
marrow where the excess
white cells characteristic of
the disease are manufactured.
Most of these agents, how
ever, also affect normal bone
marrow. If some means of
protecting the normal mar
row can be found it will be
possible to use much higher
doses while enough normal
marrow is retained uninjured
for essential blood-forming
functions.
Early Reaction Dramatic
Patients with leukemia and
related disorders, says the re-
port, may show initial dra-
matte responses to a chemi-
cal agent, which may result
even in the complete disap-
pearance of leukemic cells.
Eventually, however, under
continued treatment a new
line of leukemic cells devel-
ops that is not susceptible to
the agent and the disease
then progresses unchecked,
Cells from different types OF
leukemia before and after the
development of resistance
from the same patient are
being collected for study.
Thus far no consistent
changes have been observed.
Special studies now are be-
ing devoted to women with
widespread, recurrent breast
cancers. Some 20 different
drugs and hormones now are
under investigation. The re-
suits have been much the
same as in the leukemia
studies - seemingly complete
temporary remissionS, but
with the malignant growth
almost always returning.
These breast cancers, the re-
port reveals, often spread to
bones where surgery is i'm
possible.
