Gov. RockefeIIer's
PIedqe on Taxes

@. Mr.. President, Gov. Rookie
Teller says that he may have to
withdraw his pledge not to
raise taxes in New York State.
The grounds he gives Is that
you have promised to achieve
a certain economic growth rate
in the country and you failed
to keep that promise and
therefore he feels relieved of
this pledge. Could you COM

A. I saw all of those cam

made in the fall Of 1862, about
how New York had moved
ahead and all Of the rest and
I didn't see any acknowledge

Partial Text Of Presidents Conference With Press

FOLLOWING Is q partial tert
OF President Kennedy'S neioS
conference yesterday:
President Kennedy - Good
afternoon. Ladies and gentle
men, I want to stress again
how important 1t is that the
United States Senate approve
the pending nuclear test ban
treaty.
It has already been signed
by more than go governments,
and It is clearer now than ever
that this small step towards
peace viii have significant
gains, and I want to commend
to the American people the two
distinguished and outstanding
speeches made by Senator
Mansfield and Senator Dirk
sen, the majority and minority
leaders, who in the great tradi-
ton of American bipartisan
ship and national interest I
think put the case most ef-
fectively.
This treaty will enable all
Of US who inhabit the earth,
our children and children's
children, to breathe easier. free
from the fear Of nuclear test
fallout. 1t will curb the spread
Of nuclear weapons to other
countries, thereby holding out
hope for a more peaceful and
stable world.
1t will slow down the nuclear
arms race without impairing
the adequacy Of this Nations
arsenal or security, and 1t will
offer a small but important
foundation on which q world
Of law can be built.

the reasoning that because a

appointment must be political,

convention Of Young Demo-
Gratis, calling for making peace

them"
Amid a burst OF laughter. he
added: Il don't know what is
happening with the Young
Democrats and Young Repub-
licans, but time is on our side"
The press conference ended
on another note Of laughter
as, promptly at the end Of 30
minutes, the President turned
toward Merriman Smith,
United Press International cor
respondent and said: Thank
you"
He beat Mr.. Smith to the
punch. 1t is usually Mr.. Smiths

MN LOSE OR DRAW
SeIkirk Has Own Idea
Of What Makes Color

POMPANO BEACH, FLA, MAR. 4.-For
the>Senators, and especially for Jim Pier
sail, 1t has been a quiet training camp-so
far. A year ago it was different. Jim hardly
had set foot on Pompano Beach when Gene
Woodling, also a strong-willed personality,
spoke out strongly on the subject of special
privileges for James Anthony Piersall.
Woodling didn't last long as Senator,
but Piersall raised more hell than batting
average during the 62 season. Things are
changed now, at least for the moment. II
like it this way" Jim vows.
The strong man in the Washington
camp is George Selkirk, who at first blush
seems to be laconic Scotsman who likes
to talk about harness horses. However, the
new general manager is anything but la
comic. When he has something to say to an
individual under his command he calls him
into the rented trailer parked outside the
leftfield foul line, shuts the door and lays
1t on the line.
Mister Selkirk is a tough cookie"
whewed one of the Senators after a recent
session in the trailer. There amt gonna be
much fun and games this year, except on
the bali field"
1T is NO SECRET that selkirk spelled
1t all out for Piersall before the Senators
highest salaried, most temperamental hired
hand even signed his contract. He said, in
effect, II am not always sympathetic per-
son." and went on from there.
"No single individual is going to domi-
~. IL,
body Is going to pull together II somebody
doesn't-and don't care who that some
body may be-he'll remember it. I'm not
singing out any one person. I'm talking
about every man on this club"
The old Yankee fully realizes that he,
as general manager, and the Washington
club as a whole, have two strikes and no
balls for a count tits going to take a
helluva lot Of work to dig out" selkirk con-
eedes. We've got little catching up to do
:. about two years Of it.
There's only one way and one place TO
do 1t. The way is to improve and the place
is on the field. This is club without any
temperamental stars and It's going to stay
that way all season, or else"
AS BELTS MAN OF many talents,
Piersall has on occasion turned author and
defended his antics. suggesting that base
ball is too prone TO stifle individualism II
repetition is a sign Of conviction, Piersall
has been sold on this theory. He has by
lined pieces bearing such titles as They
Are Taking Color Out OF Baseball" etc.
Selkirk claims that he is all for color. It
is the Interpretation Of color that separates
him from Piersall. Color is indeflnable,"

By FRANCIS sTANN

George says Most of it, / know, is per-
Torrance. There is an intangible, too. ]
guess it's born in a guy.
"Piersall sometimes confuses color with
comedy and with tantrums He doesn't have
to manufacture 'colorfuP situations. When
Jim is playing his best he's truly colorful
with his glove alone.
Il was a teammate Of three of the mos
colorful players ever knew-Ruth, Gehrie
and DiMaggio. Two of 'em-Gehrig and
DiMag-were very quiet people. Joe hardly
spoke at all when we played together. YET
he personified color. When the crowd saw
No. on Yankee uniform they knew they
were looking at something special"
RUTH, OF COURSE, WAS tops with
Selkirk and just about everybody else in the
color department. What a personality"
George remembers Babe was the kind of
guy you just wanted to be around. He was
team player, too, you know.
"Gehrig was colorful in his own way.
He was so rugged, so ID. well, concrete
looking -. that he stood out DiMag hardly
ever said anything, as I mentioned. He let
his bat and his glove speak for him.
Joe was so classic in everything he did
that he was drawing card on that count
alone. I never saw Joe throw any tantrums,
nor ever heard Of him doing such things. I
don't think he ever got thrown out of a
game by an umpire.
DiMag was above squawking to an
umpire on call SO was Ted Williams, and
there's another colorful personality. Ted
was different from DiMaggio In a lot of
ways, Of course. He was controversial, Joe
was not But basically their color stemmed
from their bats"

players, as far as Selkirk is concerned. in
clude Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Stan
Musial. "And Piersall, when he sticks to
being the good performer he can be-"
George adds.
Mays Just reeks with color. He can do
so many things to win a game-hit, run,
throw, field. The same goes for Mantle
Mickey has 1t, Roger Maris hasn't"
Musial's record, longevity and deport-
ment make him one Of the drawing cards,
Selkirk thinks. "As you know, Musial is a
very quiet person. Have you ever heard
Stan make an after dinner speech2
He really isn't a good speaker at all.
Most OF the time he doesn't end his SEN
fences. Yet he speaks with that wonderful
sincerity and he makes you listen and ad-
mire him. I don't know II that's appropos OF
the subject, except that Musial plays ball
with the same sincerity.
Anyway" George concludes, "those
fellows were and are my ideas Of colorful
ball players"
