year-old Arkansas hit "A hom.

and has one Of the best arms
in the game. His average
dipped to .23l in a late-seaSon
slump.
Yanks Want Retzer
The Yankees have renewed
their interest In Ken Refer,
but have not offered anything
better than Gonzalez. Selkirk
is dickering with all American
League clubs except the Red
Sox and Twins. The latter
clubs apparently are standing
pat, and repeatedly are not
talking to any other clubs.
Baltimore, Cleveland and
Chicago are talking Hinton
deals, but Selkirk hasn't even
been tempted by their offers.
There have been some in
quiries as to Hinton's health
after his beaning by Ralph
Terry in Yankee Stadium,
The Senators may have a
deal with the Dodgers hanging
fire that does not include
Skowron.
The Senators have obtained
Ed Roebuck, Don thinner and
Catcher Mike Brumley from
the Dodgers since midSeason
of 1862, and there has been
talk here that the Senators
are becoming q farm club for
the Dodgers similar to Kansas
City's role with the Yankees
in past years.
The Senators were highly
encouraged by the aftermath
of Mondays draft. They
learned that several clubs had
Don Mclean, the 18-year-old
southpaw, as their No. / pick
in the first year class for
$4,000.
Selkirk drafted only Mclean
and Steve Schroeder in the
$4,000 class because all others
of the Senator's scouts choices
had been selected after two
rounds. Selkirk said he thought
the scouts had done q ire
mendous Job in their sugges-
tons.

| LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4.-The
Senators either will have Bill
Skowron from the Dodgers by
nightfall or give up on him
But even If the deal for the
first baseman falls through
there will be a new face or two
on the Washington roster be-
fore the baseball meetings are
over.
However, General Manager
George Selkirk said he will re-
turn with Chuck Hinton, Don
Lock and Claude Osteen still on
the squad unless the offers for
the Senators big Three" are
upped considerably. Almost
every club in the majors wants
one Of them.
Selkirk and the Washington
contingent led the advance
from the San Diego minor
league meetings to Los Angeles,
with Selkirk supposedly keeping
a secret date with Skowron. But
with the Dodgers brass still in
San Diego. nothing can be &C
complished until some time to-
day.
Meanwhile, the White Sox
have entered the bidding for
Skowron, and have more to
offer than the Senators. Show
ron has told friends he will
never leave California, but he
still could maintain a residence
here and play ball with the
Senators or White Sox.
Two Clubs Want King
The Yankees and Orioles are
bidding for Jim King, the Sena-
tors misunderstanding right
fielder, but neither club has Of
fered a player to suit Selkirk.
The Yankee repeatedly are
offering Pedro Gonzalez, the
25-year-old second baseman
from the Dominican Republic
who was recalled twice from
Richmond by the Yankees last
year. But with Don Blasin-
game and Chuck Cottier at
second, Selkirk is not interested.
1t is recalled that Ralph
Houk, the Yankees general
manager, said last year that
during his managerial career
he had tried several times to
land King.

STUN CLEARANCE PROGRAM
ONMORE THAN ONE occasion, visitors to Il

ONMOR THAN ONE occasion, visitors to these shores
have commented on the presence Of slums in these Islands
The mere fact that such a situation called forth comment is
somewhat surprising, for indeed, slums are to be found almost
everywhere in the world. Yet, this speaks well for US because
these visitors somehow did not expect to see slums here.
TT REASSURING that very definite steps are being
taken BY the Government to rid these Islands of SlumS. Com
missioner Of Housing and Urban Renewal Valdemar a. Hill
has set out in the r1gnt direction. and is to be complimented
on his approach to the problem, which goes beyond the
matter Of just brick and stones. Housing is highly important,
for it relates directly to the safety, health, and welfare Of any
community, and tt 5 only as those who administer the program
do so against a backdrop of these considerations that a SUM
clearance project takes on significance.
WHILE IS TRUE that we are small that our income
is limited, and that there is much to be done, urban renewal
is so important that it should take precedence over many other
programs. In other parts Of the world sluns are not 50 easy
to see. and therefore donot stand out SO sharply. Not so here.
INST. CROX, the Watergut area is slated for improve
ment. This Improvement is planned to suit the particular area
and situation, with particular retention of those sections or
buildings which have value Of some kind or another. This is
a fine thing because it shows that extreme care and thought
has gone into the planning.
ANOTHER PHASE of the relocation which is most en-
couraging is the attitude taken towards the relocation of fami-
lies. This is important because relocation is a SHARP, two-edged
sword, and those most directly concerned will realize that
there attitude can be important to the entire project In this
connection the Commissioner is doing a commendable job,
thus far.
THETIMEI is I'll when visitors to these shores
viii not Be disappointed because our slums will have disap-
peared. At least we are working in that direction, and if plans
are carried out as presently indicated the day will not be far
off when there be no more slms.

PRAYERS DURING HURRICANE SEASON
AN AGE-OLD custom in these Islam,

AN AGE-OLD custom in these Islands is the day OF pray
e. sec aside marking the beginning Of the hurricane season,
running roughly from July, 25 20 October Is. Though Practi-
cany on the otner side Of the world, the earthquake in Yugo-
slavia, in which thousands were killed, brings to mind the
gravity OF the disasters winch can strike al any eme, and with
out warning.
WE IN THESE parts have been spared from disaster.
Though warnings have gon g up, and the population alerted,
we have not had the real Lining thank God. Yet, people IN the
Christian world know OF no other way than TO drect prayers
to the Dlvlne Being tor guidance and to be spared from a hur-
ricane, which is an awful thing Those VINO lived through the
1875 hurricane can TESTIFY to what it was, and the feeling that
after all, there is nothing that can be done except hope and
pray.
WITH BETTER methods Of direction, and warning, the
population now has an opportunity to Prepare for what might
come. Many homes have cellars which provide some safety.
With the radio, and this advance warning people can cancel
trips by small craft and airpIanes, and head for safety.
AS WE LIVE through this period, there will be constant
prayer to be spared, and ~proughtto the end Of the period, and
come October nothing could be more fitting than prayers Of
thanksgiving. This IS a custom which should always be OBJ
served, for after all, only He who sees all and knows all has
the aStword. pasHua sf ssse
