The ranks of the unsigned

outfielder AL Kaline ended his
salary dispute with Detroit
Outfielder Minnie Mmoso

fielder Vada Pinson came to
terms with Cincinnati.
But the large number of
headliners involved in major

standouts as Maris, the Yam

The Tigers have satisfied
Kaline but Norm Cash, Ameri-

and slugger Rocky Colavito are
standing firm in their more

POMPANO BEACH, FEB 23.-As base
ball years are measured Harry Bright is
no yearling. Yet so much has happened
during the weird career of this strange
athlete that one wonders how he crammed
it all into 80 years.
Harry James Bright checked into the
Washington training camp yesterday and
piled catcher's nitts on the top of his
locker. No other type glove, just the big
mitts. He hasn't caught since 1856, barring

YEAR AGO BRIGHT reported to the
Senators after being acquired from Pitts
burgh, along with Bonnie Daniels and the
long-gone R. c. Stevens, for Bobby Shantz.
"He could be our third baseman,"
Doherty intoned after studying Harry's
credentials at Salt Lake City in 1860 There
he batted .313, drove in 119 runs and hit
q homers.
But early in the season it became
apparent to the Senator bosses that Bright
was no second Ossie Bluege. His bat was
dangerous but he was liability in the field.
"We've got to get him off third base, :"
the high command decreed, before he gets
killed or one of our pitchers kills him."
This will be Harry's 10th year in pro
ball. 1t would have been his goth except

Work Out Three Hours
The first workout under a
broiling Florida sun, hidden
only occasionally by fleecy
clouds, lasted about three hours.
A pleasant breeze took the
sting out of the heat.
Vernon said it would take
about three days for the pitch
ers to work out the soreness.
Susce was in charge Of the cal
isthenics, and while he kept
everybody on the move, they
took all he dished out.
Retzer hit the first ball out
of the park, in left-center about
375 feet from the plate. With
only Danny O'Connell and the
catchers and pitchers hitting,
not many balls cleared the
fence. Schmidt appeared to be
the leader in line-drive hits.
Vernon ordered a midnight
curfew, the same as last year,
but will permit golf and SWIM
ming until the first player
shows up too sunburned to
work. Roy Heiser, the bonus
pitcher from Gainesville, Md,
fell asleep on the beach and
was a deep red.
NOTES - If hustle means
anything in a major league

Springs, Va, will continue his
studies at the University of Vir-

POMPANO BEACH, Fla, Feb
23.-Manager Mickey Vernon
and his holdover coaching staff
have fresh, positive thinking
approach to the new Senators
second season. It's a complete
turnabout from a year ago
when everybody was new to
everybody else and the situation
was somewhat hodge-podge.
Washington is one of the few
clubs with the coaching staff
intact. Vernon retained George
Case, George Susce, Rollie
Hemsley and Sid Hudson. In
stead of guessing they're start
ing out with a book on the
holdovers and far more talent
from the farm system and the
minor league draft.
More Talent Available
Last year too many players
had it made because there
simply wasn't anybody else. II
was taken for granted, fol
example, that Dick Donovan
would pitch the opener. and
that Dave Sisler or Hal Woode-
shick would relieve, depending
on whether a right or left
handler was needed.
The experienced players more
or less were on their own. The
rockies all were a year or two
away. 1t was a situation OF
making the best of what was
available.
But General Manager Ed
Doherty and Hal Keller, the
farm director, have had a full
year to restock the roster. AS
the pitchers and catchers go
into their second day of work.
outs today it is obvious that
there is more talent available.
johnson Escapes Call
The infield picture was
frightened yesterday when Bob
johnson arrived in camp, pale
after a winter in st. Paul but
finally assured by the Army
that he will not be called into
the Reserves now. The young
infielder, a ,295 hitter in 81
games last season, wants to
shift from shortstor to third
base.
The Senators didn't have a
catcher last year with the
ability of Bob Schmidt or the
potential of Ken Retzer.
Pitchers Tom Cheney, Fred
Green. Claude Osteen, Ray
Rippelmeyer and Dave STEM

mendations to merit a long
look.

felt more of a challenge than
at this time a year ago. Sid

NEW YORK, Jan. 80 (AP).-
New York police-whose present
is often a violent one-are lay
ing the groundwork for a
brighter future. And they're
doing it not with nightsticks
but with crayons.
The police have started dis
tributing 10000 color crayon
cards to children between the
ages of 4 and 10 who live on
New York's Lower East Side.
The cards, entitled MY
friend, the policeman" contain
sketchy line drawings designed
to be colored by the youngsters.
They show a policeman holding
up traffic and allowing three
children to cross the street i2
safety.
The move is part of an edu-
cational program in the area,
which has a melting pot of
nationalities and a heavy Span
ish-speaking population. The
program is benig conducted in
cooperation with the Lower
East Side Neighborhood Associ-
alton.
The cards are being distrib-
uted at public and parochial
schools, housing projects, set
tlement houses and libraries.
In addition to the drawing, the
card has a message to the
youngsters reading:

all wrong about what is needed

Senate liberals lost a minor
skirmish over civil rights today
when the Senate sent the
literacy test bill to the Judici-
ary Committee.
BY a vote of 61-25 it tabled q
motion by Senator Javits, Re-
publican of New York, to send
it to the Rules Committee,
where it would have received
more sympathetic treatment.
Vice President johnson had
ruled the bill belonged in Judi
ciary, and the effect of the
vote was to uphold him.
Mansfield Mentions April
This roll call was not a real
test of what will happen to the
bill, however. because Senate
Democratic Leader Mansfield
and Republican Leader Dirk
sen both promised they will
call it up as a rider on some
other bill if the Judiciary Com
mittee fails to report it back
in a reasonable time.
Senator Mansfield said he
would call for action sometime
in April, and Senator Dirksen
left himself free to act even
sooner with assurance he would
give the opposition 10 days
notice.

nation bloc's demand that sus-

this proposal:
A policy decision for exclu-
sion of the Castro regime would
be voted here, but the actual
custer would not be achieved
until the various organs of the
OAS took their own legal steps
to carry out the suspension.
This indicated Cuba could hang
on as a member of the OAS for
months-perhaps years-if red
tape delayed decisions.
Uruguay's position as a men,
ber of the majority group was
a matter of some concern. One
diplomat said a key point now
is to bring Uruguay security
into the fold" to assure the
14th vote.
Other nations in the bloc

If attention can help, the city
dweller must be feeling better

over like a farmer by the
leaders of both parties.
President Kennedy is very

The Republicans, although
less beholden, say they cherish

OF course it's a little harder

country cousin. You can re-
ward a farmer for not doing
things, like not planting a field
and not raising a hog.
Nobody has yet come up with
a scheme for Subsidizing similar
passivity on the part of the
townsman, of paying him a
bounty for keeping his children
out of crowded city schools, or
his car off crowded city streets.
But President Kenne dy
thinks he has found a way of
showing his appreciation and
this is by creating a Depart

the Soviet Union" which op-
posed the plan "aS part Of the
consistent Communist effort
to undermine the United Ma
tionS and undercut it's new Sec
retary general"
He said that success of the
bond issue would mean that
in the long run the United
States would be obligated to
meet only 80 per cent of the
cost of U. N. special operations
instead of the nearly so per
cent this country is paying
now.
Alternatives Rejected
Without the bond ISSUE"
Mr.. Kennedy said, "either the
United Nations executive arm
will wither or the United States
will be compelled to pay a
larger share of the costs of
operation than is reasonable
for any one member of an in
ternational organization"
He noted that Russia and
some other U. N. members have
failed to pay special assess
ments levied by the U. N. for
peace keeping operations in
the Middle East and the Congo,
claiming the assessments are
not binding on them. This
question is now before the
World Court.
But every nation, he contin-
ued, must pay its share of
the U. N. regular budget or
lose its vote and the bonds
would be paid off from the
annual U. N. budget.
The bond issue would be re-
payable at 2 per cent interest
over a 25-year period.
