yesterday that he cannot pitch
any more this year. StenhouSe
pitched batting practice Satur-
day night for the first time
since his operation for bone
chips, but he will not work in
any games. Both Cheney and
Stenhouse will be sent home
after the weekend series with
the Orioles.
General Manager George Sell
kirk said that his efforts to
bolster the Senators have
turned to pitching because of
the uncertainty of his sore
armed starters.
IF DR.. Resta thinks it's
necessary, we'll have Cheney
and Daniels operated on" Sell
kirk said yesterday. We'll
have each one of these pitchers
in here a couple of times dur
ing the winter for examina-
tionS.
1--WE may be able to avoid
an operation on Cheney, but
if rest is not the cure, We'll
have to go in there to see
what is.

The operation on Stenhouse
APPARENTLY was a success, but
time is the only answer.
Selkirk, like some other older
heads in baseball, thinks that
the pitchers passion for
throwing the slider is behind
a great number of sore arms
The slider requires an un-
natural movement, a snap, to
make it effective.

ball club this year than last

Selkirk said, but you can't
show any improvement when
three of your top pitchers win
two games between them after
the All-Star break.
We're hoping that Cheney
Stenhouse and Daniels will be
available next year, but I can't
take that chance. My job is
to find another starting pitcher
or two this winter.
And by having the three
pitchers in here for periodic
checks, we're going to have
an idea what they can do be-

Cheney, who allowed one

So since the All-Star game,

In setting a major league
strikeout mark against the
Orioles last year, and a brilliant
April performance this season,
Cheney showed the potential to
be a 15-garne winner. Daniels
won IL in 1861, and Stenhouse
IL last year. The thinking was
that they had the potential to
win at least a dozen each this
year, which would have been
roughly a 40-game total for the
three.

Spanish Advance

Nearly 20 per cent of Spain'S labor
force will profit from the new minimum
wage scale Just announced by the Fran
CO government in Madrid. The increase,
applying to the country's unskilled work.
erS, will almost double the pay Of these
people, and they will also receive certain
fringe benefits that are bound to be both
popular and salutary.
In commenting on all this in his
New Years address to the Spanish peo-
pie, GeneraliSSimo Franco has declared
as follows: 1--WE regret from the bottom
of our hearts that there remain some
sectors of Spain, isolated minorities, to
which our economic progress has not yet
reached. Because of this my government
has directed the establishment of the
new minimum salary. q. We know that
this boost may produce a disturbance
III some small sectors of our economy.
But my government cannot longer con-
template the existence of minimum SAL
aries which are intolerable and which
social justice will not permit"
Last spring there were signs of con-
siderable labor unrest in Spain, with
sporadic strikes indicating widespread
dissatisfaction with the fact that sal
aries had not kept pace with rising living
costs. The strikes, however, apparently
were purely economic and had no real
significance as an indication of political
opposition to the Franco regime. Ac-
tually, the Generalissimo, who has just
entered his 70S, has long since become a
relatively benevolent authoritarian ruler,
and there can be little doubt that his
announcement of the new minimum
wage will strengthen his popular support.
But the Spanish leader, who has
once again emphasized the need for
strong and cordial relations with the
United States, has suggested in his New
Years message that he may retire in
the relatively near future and that a
new generation of Spaniards- -"those
who are now 30 to 40"-must eventually
take over the task of governing the
country. Meanwhile the Generalissimo
with measures like the new wage law, is
laying a good groundwork for his sue
cessors.

Homes for Children

Since last July, the number of Wash
ington area families expressing an inter-
est in adopting or providing foster homes
for homeless children is roughly twice
as great as during the comparable pc
riod a year ago. This Is tremendously
heartening in itself With respect to the
foster-home program, especially, some
Of the offers will be withdrawn. Other
families, for variety OF reasons may be
disqualified. But no doubt a great many
OF them are in a position TO provide
home environments in which these poor
children would be infinitely better off
than in overcrowded municipal institu-
tions. And for their sake, District Off
cials should do three things.
First, the Welfare Department
should use its full resources TO process
the applications with a minimum Of
red-tape delay. Revision OF the overly
restrictive standards" which the Health
Department has set for foster homes
should be accomplished Immediately.
And the Commissioners should them
selves take immediate steps 10 effectuate
more realistic monetary board rate
for foster-home care. The sudden surge
Of interest in the homelss children is a

Optimistic, but

President Kennedy, according to
highly authoritative reports, has well
coined the new year in mood Of dis
tinctly cautious optimiSm-a mood based
on the feeling that the chances for
maintaining peace in 1853 will be better,
but only slightly so than they were in
1862.
The reports say that this feeling is
harbored by the President for the fol-
lowing reasons, among others: (1) He is
persuaded that Premier KhruShchev and
the Kremlin have been thoroughly So
bered by American readiness to risk the
possibility of a nuclear conflict over
Cuba. (2) He thinks that their setback
there, the rift between them and Peking,
and the latter'S aggression against In
dia are bound to have important modi-
tying effects on the course of the cold
war. (3) He suspects that the SovietS,
particularly as result of their Cuban
experience, have lost the glow of their
old confidence, their old cocksureness,
about being force marching inevitably
toward mastery Of the entire globe And
az he is convinced that the balance of
power still is on the side Of the United
States in the world struggle with the
USSR.
Despite these and similar consider
ations, however, Mr.. Kennedy is repre-
sented as believing that the greatest
measure Of vigilance and preparedness
continues to be imperative for the secur-
ity Of our country and the free world as a
whole, Thus, for one thing, he sees no
early improvement in Soviet American
relations, though great historical tide
may be running in that direction. Hence,
as far as the months Immediately ahead
are concerned, he holds that we and our
allies must reckon with the possibility
of unpleasant surprises, the sudden bur-
geoning Of fresh crises, new tests of will,
reSolutenesS and power, in ever-danger-
Gus places like Berlin or any number Of
explosive spots in Africa, the Middle East
and Asia. Mr. KhruShchev'S rambling
New Years remarks serve to remind us
that he still is a man who likes to pep
per his geniality with threats, the latest
one being "a realistic warning" that the
USSR, though it prefers peaceful CO.
existence, could destroy the West in a
few hours in nuclear war
The Soviet Premier's threatfulness,
of course, has worn thin over the years,
the more so because, he knows that his
own country could not survive such a
war. Yet his continuing harShness is
worth noting as something that amply
justifies the fingers-crossed character Of
the Presidents repeatedly optimistic
view of the year ahead.

Mr.. Kerr of Oklahoma

Senator Bob" Kerr, who died here
on New Years Day at the age of 66,
was man Of many impressive abilities
Educated as a lawyer, he became a
multi millionaire businessman in the
field Of commercial development of such
natural resources as oil. gas and the
rare minerals. In politics, he moved
onto the national stage when he be-
came Democratic committeeman for
Oklahoma in 1910 and served from l943
to l947 as Governor of that State. 1t
was in l948 that he was first elected
to the Senate, but 1t has been during
the past two yearS-after his second
reelection, In l960-that his great skills
in committee work or on the Senate
floor were recognized generally as forces
Of tremendous political power.
1t would be inaccurate to classify
Mr.. Kerr either as a conservative or a
liberal. He has on occasion been the
New Frontiers most effective friend, on
others It's toughest opponent. He was
independent OF party label by itself or
OF doctrinaire commitment, but there
was no limitation to his capacity for
working or fighting when he took his
position. In key committee posts-on
Finance, Public Works, and Space he
was able and willing TO drive hard bar
gains to win his objectives. On the floor,
he was similarly ready TO pick up any
challenge or TO advance one OF his own.
With all this, probably the best
measure OF the Oklahomans power In
the Senate is the flood OF speculation
about who is 10 succeed him in the COM
mand organization Of that body and
what the effect will be on the admin
istration's legislative program In the new
Congress. His committee places will be

among them will inherit his role as
"uncrowned king" OF this exclusive club.

arate budget request for the District of
Columbia suggests that the President
intends to take more than usual inter
est in District fiscal affairs this year.
And that, If 1t turns out to be the case,
is highly encouraging. For while Con-
gresS must make the final decisions,
there can be no doubt about the ire
mendouS value which would accrue If,
throughout the session, the White House
should maintain an aggressive and per-
sistent voice in urging that the most
crucial needs of the city be met
White House aides are being Gus
tomarily close -mouthed about both the
special message and the details Of the
local appropriation request. 1t is gen.
orally expected that the President will
concentrate on the needs of young peo-
pie, an area of need to which he referred
in recent press conference. Certainly
he was right. Inadequate facilities for
young people surely do exist and in some
of these, including schools and welfare
facilities, the needs which are shaping
up for the future are frightening. In
LlOWCNCl1 llCCOo oJ 4CdoJ
are recognized. The more difficult and
important job is to find a means of
financing the necessary corrective meas
ureS.
1t seems clear that some further in
creaSeS in local taxation will be essential
this year to help prop up the sagging
public works program. The several in
creases tentatively proposed by the Com
miSSionerS would raise these specific
taxes to levels fully comparable to those
paid in suburban Jurisdictions. But the
great and diScouraging lesson Of the last
several years is that such tax increases
as these simply are not sufficient alone
to accomplish significant strides forward
in fulfilling the needs of the city. The
public works program (Which is the basic
fiscal problem) has failed thus far be-
cause of Congress- failure, year after
year, to supplement the ordinary local
revenues with Federal appropriation Of
sufficient size to reverse the trend to-
ward deterioration. We hope this history
is clear to the White House in drafting
its proposals. For until the Federal Gov
ernment agrees to pay its fair share Of
the needs of the Nations Capital, those
needs will not be met.

An editorial in the Illinois

offer by Senator Wayne
Morse of a $22O,9O0 Post

structive use in any number
of more practical projects.
