Story False
BY the Associated Press

A story that a clubhouse spy
stole Brooklyn Dodger signs and
helped Bobby Thomson hit the
home run that won the 1851
National League pennant for
the New York Giants was con-
firmed yesterday at the Giants
spring training camp at
Phoenix, AriZ.
However, Thomson himself
said in New York today: Its
not so. Nobody called that pitch
for me-"
A source close to the team,
who declined use of his name,
said, 1T was perfectly legal to
steal signs in 1859 and before.
any way you could"
He said the practice was out
lawed last year by Commits
sioner Ford Prick.
"In 1859 most of the clubs
in the league had been attempt
ing hoists of our pitching sig
mails by devious practices" he
continued.
when the Dodgers came into
San Francisco late in the sea-
son the Giants were two-up on
second-place Los Angeles. Since
there were only eight games
left, the Giants knew they had
to win any way possible-in-
Guiding stealing signals.
The Giants in charge cased
Seals Stadium for the most
likely spy vantage points. in
Guiding hilltops and even roofs
of houses in the vicinity. They
settled on the scoreboard.
But the plan was never
used. This deeply religious
Giants pitcher, and go ahead
and guess his name, found out
about the scheme and his pro-
tests killed it."
A former member of the
Giants said at Fort Lauder
dale, Fla, yesterday that a
utility player, working with
binoculars from the centerfield
clubhouse in the Polo Grounds,
gave Thomson the tipoff for
his 1851 heroics.
The spy pushed a button
connected to a buzzer in the
Giants dugout, and Thomson
got the signal that Ralph
Branca's next pitch would be
a fastball. The Giants had two
men on and were trailing, AZ,
with one out in the ninth
inning of the third game of
the playoff when Bobby hit
the "shot heard round the
world"

Mr.. Dean said the United

The District Commissioners

per 500 of assessed evaluation
for at least another year.
The decision to keep the
city's property owners taxes at
their present level was made
yesterday despite a warning by
Schuyler Lowe, the Districts
general administrator, that the
city win face an operating def
cit in the fiscal year 1864.
Mr. Lowe recommended a 10

they would ask for a $50 mill
lion increase in teachers sal
aries instead Of the $4.2 million
they originally proposed.

Tobriner said.
In o memorandum to the
Commissioners, Mr.. Lowe
pointed out that the District in
fiscal 1868 will have only close
to SO million to finance possible
expenditures. including teach
ers. policemen and firemen
raises amounting to about $14
million.
He pointed out that a short
age in revenues, in which real
estate taxes make up the bulk,
in relation to increased salaries
can lead to forced curtailments
of other District projects.
The last time the city had a
tax raise was last year when
the rate was raised 20 cents per
500 of evaluation to the pres
ent $3.50. <

u. S. Offers to .HoIve
Attest Detection Units

GENEVA. Aug. 8 IAP9-The
United States said today it is
willing to reduce by more than
half the number of detection
stations proposed 70 police a
treaty banning nuclear weap-
ols.
United states Delegate
Arthur H. Dean gave the IT.
nation disarmament talks some
specifications on a Western test
ban compromise proposal ex-
pected to be presented formally
next week. E-
Mr.. Dean was quoted as tell
ing the meeting:
In our new presentation. we
are proposing to reduce the
number of control posts to
something like 80; that means
a reduction of more than half. /"
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minis
ter Valerian Zorin made it clear
Monday. however, that the So
Wet Union will not accept the
new Western offer. He dis
cussed the proposal with Mr..
Dean informally Sunday and
Monday.
Insists on Old Formula
To-day. he insisted again that
agreement can be reached only
on the basis Of a neutralist
formula providing for on-site
inspection only by invitation of
the affected country.
Years ago. before the Soviet
Union withdrew all previous
agreements to an international
test ban control system, the
three nuclear powers were
agreed that q network Of 1870
detection posts should be es-
tablished all over the world.
The reduction of that num-
Der under the modified Western
proposals. as revealed by Mr..
Dean today. is the result of
United States scientific re-
search for better detection of
distant underground nuclear
explosions,
The Western powers, how
ever. will insist that a treaty
provide for compulsory inter-
national on-site inspection in
the territories of all nuclear
powers to verify instrument
readings of the detection posts.
Mr.. Dean told reporters be-
fore the opening of the session
that American scientists will
arrive next week end to explain
technical aspects of the COM
promise measures.
Mr.. Dean also told the con-
ference the United States was
willing to drop a proposal that
would have brought the U. N.
Security Council into the dis
armament program.
Mr.. Dean said his govern
ment has decided to modify its
position on the manner of
handling the transition from
one stage Of disarmament to
the next.
Under the earlier American
plan, the disarming nations
should go from one phase to
the next only If all require
ments for the previous phase
had been fulfilled.

inally proposed that the U. N
Security Council be asked tc

Geneva Efforts
Parallel efforts are being
made by the United states

Soviet delegates there have in
formally turned thumbs Down.
Only today Mr.. Dean ad-
