Duckworth's Pitching Consoles Hodges
Errors Contribute
To End Of Streak

Hodges, who has seen two Of
Duckworth's errors, said he
plans some fielding practice for
the tall youngster.
HE made some good stops in
the Kansas City game" Hodges
said. "He has good reflexes:
it's just the hunts he has trou-
BILE with. Wen work with him."
Hodges was consoled by
Duckworth's strong pitching.
He was much sharper than the
night he stopped the Orioles IN
relief in Gil's managerial de-
but or In his two victories,
over the Yankees in relief and
Athletics as a starter.
Mixes In Curves
When he beat the AS last
Saturday night, Jim said he
threw "120 fast balls and 20
curves" He mixed in more
curves in banking the Indians
for seven innings last night.
Donovan and Duckworth had
an evenly matched shutout go
ing for six innings, but the
Senators scored in the seventh
when Chuck Hinton singled,
stole second and came in on
Kings single to center. Eddie
Brinkman singled behind King,
but they were stranded.
NOTES: Don Lock was out
Of the lineup with a slight
ankle sprain, but may be able
to play tonight. The decision
could depend upon the condi-
ton Of centerfield. If there is
any more rain, he may be idle
another day. 4
X-rays on Locks ankle and
Catcher Don Leppert's elbow
both were negative, and Lep-
pert is about ready to play. He
was hit on the left elbow three

PizarrO Rolling
As White Sox
Close Ground
BY the Associated Press

Somebody must have lit a
flame under Juan Pizarro, the
White Sox fireballer who never
has been a ball of fire.
Pizarro's rolling now and is
off to the fastest start Of his
major league career. His latest
triumph, a sparkling effort that
provided Chicago with a I'll
triumph over the AS at Kansas
City last night, moved the
White Sox within a half game
Of the Orioles, American League
leaders.
The 26-year-old lefthander
who came to the majors with a
reputation as Puerto Rico's
hardest rock thrower, has con-
sistently been a late-reporter
and slow-starter. This season
he was the last player in the
majors to sign his contract.
However, that hasn't stopped
Pizarro from suddenly turning
into a man in a hurry. He
scattered eight hits against the
A's-and hit a two-run homer
while posting his fifth VIC
tory and lowering his earned
run average to all.

War Next?

The United States last week
rejected Common Market

per cent, implying this was too
little. RetaliatOry tariff hikes
on European goods appear i'm
minent unless the Market comes
up with a new offer later this
month.
The sad-eyed, stopped figure Of
Robert Schuman, a major archi-
tect OF European unity, passed
into history last Wednesday with
his death at the age Of II. Flags
OF six member nations flew at
half-staff in the Brussels head
quarters Of the European Econom-
ic Community.
Yet even as messages Of con-

ton, Washinton was bracing for
a tariff war against the confed-
Grafton he helped to shape And

A year ago the Common Market
raised the tariff on American
poultry from 40 to 1874 cents a

Changes Ahead?

Mr.. Kennedy went on to say
that he thought Mr.. Diem has
time I'd regain the support of his
people If he brings about changes
in policy and perhaps with per-
sonnet"
And so it appeared that the
United States was prepared to
exert a certain amount of diplo-
matte and political pressure on
the regime for reforms which
might ease domestic hostility
toward it, but not to push boldly
or rashly to overthrow Mr.. Diem.
Many observers and American
officials see little chance that Mr..
Diem will remove or even clip the
wings of Mr.. Nhu, a man of
enormous influence in South Wet
Nam today and, according to the
State Department, the instigator
of the attack on the Buddhist
pagodas last monh.
The South Wet Nam President
granted an exclusive interview to
the Associated Press on Thurs
day and took the opportunity to
torpedo persistent reports in
American newspapers that Mr..
. Nhu is the real power in Saigon.

THE FOREIGN SCENE
OurChanging Policy
On South Wet Nam

President Kennedy on Monday
said he doubts the South Wet
Namese can win their" war
against the Communist guerril-
las unless President Diem re-
gains the support of his people.
He suggested changes in internal
policy and perhaps personnel"
by Mr.. Diem.
Whenever a situation is sub
ject to rapid changes and I'M
certainties multiply around it, it
is commonplace for commentators
to describe it as fluid"
The situation was certainly fluid
last week in South Wet Nam,
where the United States is helping
to prosecute the war against
Communist guerrillas while con-
currently trying to unhorSe or, at
the minimum, reform President
Diem's national government in
Saigon.
But the situation was not the
only thing that was fluid in the
Southeast Asian country. So. too,
was our policy vis-a-vis the Diem
regime.
A week earlier, we made thinly
disguised suggestions to the
South Wet Nam army that we
would not be at all unhappy if
it engineered a coup d'etat and
set up a military junta in Saigon
because the already unpopular
Diem regime, in depressing the
BuddhistS," had lost critical sup
port of the people.

Second Thoughts

Then, either after finding that
too many important elements of
the army we're loyal to Mr.. Diem
or having had second thoughts as
to the improvement we might find
in a military junta regime, our
strategy shifted. 1t became one
of pressure to bring peace with
the Buddhists and to force the
custer of the Presidents brother
ard chief political adviser, Ngo
Dinh Nhu, and Mrs. Nhu, who
acts as her bachelor brother-in-
laws official hostess.
This latest hint of American
policy came from President Ken
nedy himself. Replying to a ques-
ton on a network television in
terview, Mr.. Kennedy said:
II don't think that - unless a
greater effort is made by the
CDiem) government to win popu-
lar support that the war can be
won out there.
THE repreSsions against the
Buddhists, we felt, were very I'M
wise. Now all we can do is to
make it very clear that we don't
think this is the way to win"

Other Factors

But as the week-long calm on
the streets of Saigon was broken
by student demonstrations and
mass arrests on Saturday, the
diplomatic and political word-war
and maneuvering between the
Wet Nam capital and Washington
continued last week and no one
was certain where it would lead to.
Q An English-language news
paper in Saigon, owned by Ameri-
cans but controlled by the
Government, accused the Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency Of plot
ting a coup against President
Diem and then calling it off when
the plot was discovered. TIL e
State Department called the story
ridiculous.
. Mrs. Nhu suggested that the
United States withdraw some of
its civilian aid personnel because,
she said, she has the impress
sion" that some of them are CHA
agents and, besides, there are too
many of them in South Wet Nam.
(There are about 1900 American
civilian officials there todayD
. The State Department dis
closed on Thursday that it had
a week earlier restricted travel
to South Wet Nam by American
officials and their dependents be-
cause of the unsettled situation"
there. 1t added that it was dis
couraging visits by American
tourists, too.
Democratic Senator Church
threatened on Friday to offer a
resolution to shut off all United
States aid to South Wet Nam
unless drastic reforms are launched
by the Diem government. He said
this would "backstop" the Ken
nedy administration for whatever
strong measures are needed. Re-
publican Senator Carlson sup

water, begin trips this week
testing their popularity. Presi-
dent Kennedy launches a SIM
liar "nOp-pOliticaI" tour Of 10

The race for the White House
is filled with ritual. Candidates
must deny the obvious-that they
want the presidency. They no
longer kiss babies, but accepting a
peace pipe from an Indian tribe
is standard procedure. They also
contrive to be photographed in
some universal sport, preferably
golf or fishing.
The ritual also calls for the
non-political tour. Last week, the

publican Party, by coincidence,

end of this month; instead, its
charter calls for a skeleton crew
to wind up affairs gradually. So
the real deadline is November 80,
and, hopefully, Congress may sal

Kennedy Hit

Taking the high road, mean
while. Gov. Rockefeller switched
from his captive of the Birch

water and began focusing on
President Kennedy last week.
simultaneously. his aides fur
nished details Of a series of trips
through seven States.
The Governor, apparently plan
ming to project himself as more
liberal than President Kennedy,
charged that the President acted
too late in a tax cut to help the
economy, and used "tardy half
measures" to combat the gold
outflow.
Whether by design or accident,
none Of the three men seems
eager to invade the South this
fall. Neither Senator Goldwater
nor President Kennedy has a
Southern State scheduled on
itineraries, and Gov. Rockefeller
will pass briefly through Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, focusing
the rest of his effort on the North
and Western States. Observers
speculated that the candidates
do not want to exacerbate the
already-tense feelings of the
South on civil rights.
Just how hazardous the racial
issue has become in politics was
Signaled in a New York City
primary election last week when
j. Raymond Jones. a Negro, sue
ceeded Representative Adam
Clayton Powell as top Harlem
leader and won the Democratic
nomination for reelection as a
city councilman.
The battle, marked by charges
from Mr.. Powell that Mr.. Jones
had collaborated with white vot-
ers. boomeranged on the Con-
gresham. Some felt that Mr..
Powells frequent absences from
his Harlem district had weighed
heavily with Negro voters.
