HITTING, HEXING HELP
Craig's Loss String Ends at Last

and Pittsburgh and Houston
split a double header that
lasted more than 71a hours.
The Pirates won the second
game, 7-6, in IL innings after
Houston won, 7-6, In Is.
Craig. the victim Of seven
shutouts and loser Of eight
one-run decisions in his 20
losses this season, had a 3-2
margin going into the eighth,
but a triple by Billy Williams
and a scrifice fly by Ron Santo
tied it.
In the ninth, Joe Hicks
started it off for the Nets with
a one-out single AL Moran
doubled him to third with two
out. Tim Hardness, batting for.
Craig, walked ----
Then followed Casey's hex and
Hickman's hit. The loss was
tagged on starter Paul 10th,
who had reason to be nervous
himself. He became a father
for the first time just a few
hours before the game.
Two errors by Third Base
man Jim Gillian opened the
way for six Cincinnati runs in
the sixth inning, five of them
unearned. Gene Green dou-
bled in one run after Gillian
had booted a potential double
play grounder and Leo Car
denis singled in another. An
other Gillian error let in two
more, and Vada Pinson sin
gled in the last two.
Juan Marichal limited the
Phillies to seven hits and
posted his 18th victory and
fourth shutout. Orlando &C.
peda drove in three runs on a
single and double and scored
the other one.
Denis Menke stroke a three
run homer and Bob Hendley
spaced five hits in pacing Mil
waukee past the Cardinals.
Houston won the opener at
Pittsburgh when HOWE GoSs
slid under Bill MazeroSki's high
throw with the tie-breaking run
in the 18th. Hal Woodeshick,
who allowed only three hits
after coming on in the eighth,
was the winner. Bob Clemente'S
bases-loaded single broke up
the second game and gave Re-
lever AL Mclean his 18th VIC
tory in Is decisions.

Records Conspicuous by Absence
In National AAU Title SWIMMING

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 (AP).-
People think we should set a
record every time we get our
feet wet, but I think it's a good
thing we aren't"
That's the view Of Jim Coun-
Silman, veteran Indiana Uni
versity swimming coach whose
squad, representing the Indi-
annapolis A.C., is powering its
way to the team title of the Ma
tional AAU outdoor Mems
Swimming and Diving Cham
pionships.
Conspicuous by their absence
are records in the meet. which
opened in the new 50-meter
Ridgeland Common pool at
suburban Oak Park yesterday.
Only One Record
After five swimming events
out of ID to be contested in the
three-day affair, the only
record of sorts was by 17-year-
old Don Schollander of the
Santa Clara, Calf, Swim Club.
He churned the 40O-meter
free style in 4:17.7, compared to
the 4:17.2 record last year by
Australians Murray Rose.
Schollander's effort goes into
the AAU books as an American
citizens mark, topping the pre-
vious such listing of 4:19.2 by
Indiana's Alan Somers in the
1860 Olympics at Rome.
Schollander is featured in
today's schedule of five events
He will try for a record in the
200-meter freestyle as defend
ing champion.
Robert Windley of Australis
set a world record in the event
April 81 at Tokyo with zoos
Schollander did an amazing
1888 a week ago on the West
Coast and. has applied fol
world recognition.
1t Is unlikely he will come
near a record job today.
This pool is only 3 feet
deep at the shallow end and
hinders the turns" said Coun-
silman in explaining lack OF
the usual speed. ALSO, the
troughs at the sides are not
deep enough to break up the
waves. The boys are swimming
against the waves they kick up,
But maybe it's good thing
not to have records. 1t shows
how hard they are to achieve.

fatal malaise already creep

The French unused of ma
tional glory as they lay be-
hind their impractical Mag
mot Line. Most of the old
kingdoms, it is true. had al
ready fallen, but the castles
continued to throw shadows
on the thinking Of all but the
young "a dicals. There re-
m aimed the Graustarkian
glitter of Versailles and Sans
Souci and Schonbrunn.
So the average European
was little prepared for the
horror or World War II. Not
since the days Of Attila and
Genghis Khan had noncom-
batants faced such a grim
struggle for survival.
Last night I sat high in a
roof restaurant admiring the
beauty of new Hamburg, In
Germany. But on the night
when the $500 planes came
bearing incendiaries the
flames rose 5000 feet. In the
vast blaze the oxygen van
ish e d. Thousan d. were
smothered in the deep bomb
sh elters, and as the air
rushed along the ground to
feed the h olocaust people
were literally swept down the
streets into the inferno. Here
was war Of a new dimension.
But if the impersonal de-
struction was horrible, it
couldn't m atch the new
savagery. The guide on the
Amsterdam sightseeing boat
points to the hid den attic
above the little house on the
tree-lined canal where Anne
Frank labored over her diary.

You cannot grasp the i'm

starved. naked bodies carted
from the gas chambers and
stripped of their gold-filled
teeth by retching prisoners
who would soon follow them.
This was not war. This was
madness with the power of
law.
And so, having lived its
fairy tale and its horror
story, the new Europe has
turned to the ledger book.
And the ledger book says
that If prosperity can no
longer be found in war 1t
must be found in co-opera-

In the fairy tale, the horror

This is the age Of the ledger

So far, the Common Mar
ket has represented not so
much i'd ealism as the
triumph Of intelligent self
ishness. 1t is first cousin to
the selfishness that used to
send raiding or conquering
armies across the old Dor
ders. But the Common Mar
ket was born of the realiza-
ton that riches-by-plunder
Is no longer possible now
that science has produced
weapons capable of total de-
struction.
The old wars were thought
to pay solid dividends. True,
you lost q few young men
and maybe had a city or two
burned. But If you won you
added a province or a princi-
pality or a kingdom. There
were no in dustries to be
ruined and the next year the
crops came up again. You
had acquired new tax wealth
and new manpower to make
possible even gre alter con-
quests in the future. At least,
that's the way the old Euro
pean figured 1t.
But that thing between
1914 and 1918 was an opened
vein. 1t left Europe drained
and pallid. In the social tur-
MOL and economic paralysis
that followed it, two great
tyrannies arose bent on the
conquest of the world. And
still the individual n atoms
bickered with each other
over their high tariff barriers
and bit and clawed for
crumbs of advantage. For
they we're still living in the
age of the fairy tale.
This pretty city of Odense

ceding that it is easy to

that more should have been

the British and French chose
this very same time to use
armed force in the Suez

that on principle 1t had to

Nixon now outlines a policy
that he thinks should have
been followed:
First, we should have
recognized the anti Com
munist Macy government
promptly. This would have
deprived Khrushchev Of the
legal argument that the
Communist Kadar govern
ment had invited the Soviet
forces to come in.
Second, when Khru-
Shchev refused to withdraw
his troops from Budapest,
we should have broken off
diplomatic relations with the
Soviet Union.
Third, we should have
permitted the organization
of volunteers in free coun-
tries to help the freedom
fighters. This is the action
the Kremlin has taken in
corresponding situations.
Fourth, when the puppet
Kadar government was set
up in place of the free gov
eminent, we should have
recognized a government-in-

exile by itself could not have
changed the situation. But
