BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 20
(AP).-The pitching firm OF
Smith, Chittum, Smith and
Fanok broke up today after
hurting the International
League All-Stars to a SO VIC
tory over the Yankees.
The quartet, composed Of
Willie Smith of Syracuse, Mel
son Chittum of Rochester, Bill
Smith of Arkansas and Harry
Fanok of Atlanta held the
world champions to two hits
last night. It was the All-Stars'
second shutout in three years
against Major League oppoSi-
ton.
Blanchard Doubles
The only hits by the Yankees
were a single in the fourth
inning by Jack Reed and a
double in the seventh by John
Blanchard, the only Yankee to
get as far as second base. In
all, the American League lead
ers managed to hit only six
balls out of the infield-one a
foul.
The All-Star attack was led
by Richie Allen of Arkansas
and Pedro Gonzalez of Rich
mond. Allen hit a two-rur
homer off Yankee starter Bill
Stafford in the first inning
after a single by Buddy Barker
of Jacksonville. Gonzales
homered in the second with the
bases empty.
Smith Starts
Willie Smith pitched hitlesS
ball for three innings, Chittum
allowed one in his three in
nings. Bill Smith allowed one
in the seventh and Fanok none
in a wrapup two-inning job
against a lineup that included
all the Yankee regulars except
the injured Mickey Mantle and
Roger Maris.
A record Buffalo crowd of
28,524 saw the game.

Record Round
Lifts Bass|er
To2d Straight
By ROBERT SOMMERS
Star Staff Writer

Charley Bassler is among the
modest of men and now that
his mood has changed he's also
among the more consistent -
at winning.
His victory yesterday in the
Middle Atlantic PGA pro-ama-
teur tournament at Sparrows
Point near Baltimore was his
second straight and what's
more, his II was his second
straight course record.
BaSsler, the Indian Spring
pro, shot "a at Argyle Friday,
another course record, to win
his second tournament of the
season. His first was at Be-
thesda early in the year.
But while he won by only
one stroke over Dick Whetzle
of Woodholme with his Ga, yes
terday he was four shots ahead
Of Jimmy Clark of Argyle, John
Musser of All View and Paul
Haviland of Maryland Golf and
Country Club. Clark, Musser
and Haviland shot rs over the
6,609-yard, par-36-36-72 Spar
rows Point course.
Starts Well
Bassler's season has been
rather strange. He started off
playing we'll and won the fourth
tournament of the season. But
then he seemed to lose interest
He picked up in the local Ma
tional Open qualifier, picked up
again in the first round of the
Maryland Open and didn't seem
to care if he played or not.
II just feel like playing
again." Charley explained when
he came off the course yeSter-
day to collect not only the tor
pro prize but also first prize
in the best-ball division and q
share of second place.
Bassler teamed with Herman
Newman, an Indian Spring
member, to shoot a best ball
Sc, and also teamed with Tom
Tawney of Sparrows Point fol
a 81. which tied his assistant
Billy Wrightson, and H. A
Labow of Sparrows Points.
Second Straight
This is the second straight
best-ball prize Charley has won
He teamed with his son, Chuck,
to win the pro-junior at Argyle
Saturday. Now he's won -four
of these checks, plus three in
pro-sweeps.
Labow took amateur net with
90-22-68, while Angelo Clip

DR.. Silverman testified that
after court proceedings RIA
settled the purchase of his
property for $45,oOO on recon-
mendation by the Justice De-
partment.
Charging the purchase and
resale of land in the Columbia
Plaza area was similar to the
cheese scandal" some years
ago, DR.. Silverman asked:
why should RIA sell this
land worth $50 a square foot
for $l4.88?" he asked. The
witness reference was to dis
closure some time ago of the
purchase by the Federal Gov
ernment of cheese from a dairy
farm and its subsequent resale
at a lower price.
Procedures Of RIA
Chairman Dowdy said the
subcommittee turned to the
Columbia Plaza transactions so
that 1t could be aided "in un-
derstanding the land acquisi-
ton and disposition procedures
which can be used. or at least
have been used. by the Re-

operations under the urban re-
newal program in the District,
he said.
Disposition Of land for the
Columbia Plaza project was not
on an open competitive basis.

competition was in a bill which

to the latest public opinion
polls, has fallen below so per
cent approval for the first time
since 1858.
The capitulation Of the gov
ernment is now clearly in sight.
The first move was to appoint
a panel of three wise men" to
determine the justice of the
miners demands. When the
government tried to weasel on
these findings by offering to
spread a IL per cent wage in
crease over a years time, the
miners rejected the offer. The
prospect now is of a settlement
more or less on the strikers
terms-far better terms than
they expected at the beginning
cf the strike.
The damage done to Gen. de
Gaulle's prestige and authority
by this incident can only be
vaguely estimated at this time
Quite certainly he was miSin-
formed as to the strength OF
his opposition and the pre-
dictable reaction of public
opinion. Perhaps he has learned
a valuable lesson.

ostensibly to defend the franc
