Barber Shows
His Liking for
New Rotation
By the Associated Press

| AN-@S~ANN~S
Pity the Orioles: Steve Bar.
Der can't pitch more than every
fourth day.
Baltimore Manager Billy
Hitchcock decided at the start
Of the season that Barber
would be on the mound every
fourth day regardless Of how Il
affected other pitchers in the
rotation.
Barber, q 24-year-old left
handler with confidence to
match his ability. is feastine
on his new diet. And, as far as
the Orioles are concerned, It's
q .lifesaver.
Barber leads the American
League with six victories, is tops
lin strikeouts with 46, and has
posted q 2.42 earned run aver
age. He has completed half OF
his eight starts. or one more
than the rest of the Baltimore
staff.
Barber yielded IL hits last
might, including four doubles,
as he whipped Boston, 1914, and
knocked the Red Sox out Of the
American League lead. The ORR
oles, who cracked out II hits,
moved up a notch to fifth and
are only one game behind the
league-leading White Sox.
KaIine's Homer Decisive
While Barber was coasting,
the White Sox broke one up,
shelling Kansas City's Ed
Rakow for eight runs in the
seventh inning after he had
pitched perfect ball for six in
nings. The 8-3 triumph over
the AS moved the White Sox
into the American League lead.
AL Kaline's two-run, ninth
inning homer gave Detroit a
7-6 decision over the Yankees
and Ken Hunts tie-breaking
homer provided the Angels
with a 4-3 triumph over Min
nesota.
The White Sox put together
their eight-run outburst on six
hits, three walks and two er-
rors. j. c. Martins three-run
double was the long blow.
Eddie Fisher got the victory,
although he needed help from
Jim Brosnan after being
tagged for a ninth-inning
homer.
fresh Hits Pair
Kaline cracked his homer off
reliever Jim Bouton after Norm
Cash walked to open the last
Of the ninth. Tom fresh had
put the Yankees ahead, SIS, in
the seventh inning with his sec
ond homer Of the night.
Yogi Berra and Clete Boyer
also homered for New York,
while Jake Wood connected
twice and Bubba Phillips once
for Detroit.
Hunts eighth-inning homer
off Jim Kaat snapped a 3-3 tie,
gave the Angels a sweep of the
three-game series and dropped
the Twins into last place.
Minnesota had made up q
80 deficit on Bob Allison's
fourth-inning homer and a
two-run rally In the fifth in
which Kaat singled one run
home.

CLOUTS TWO HOMERS
Willie Davis Puts
Life in Dodgers
BY the Associated Press

The Dodgers had been watt
ing all season for that Davis
fellow to start hitting. Well,
he got started all right, but
1t was the other Davis.
One of the Dodgers big con-
Germs this season has been the
hitting slump of Tommy Da-
Wis, who led the National
League with a .346 average and
l53 runs batted in last season.
He's been hampered by leg in
juries and is hitting only .227.
But Willie Davis, sometimes
called the other Davis, sudden
ly has taken up the slack. In
the last four games Willie's had
seven hits in is times at bat,
including two doubles, two
homers and a triple, and has
driven In five runs.
No Coincidence
It's no coincidence that the
Dodgers have won three of the
four, including an lis decision
over st. Louis last night.
Willie had two homers and
a triple in that one, driving in
three runs and scoring the one
that broke q SIS tie.
San Francisco opened a two
game lead atop the standings
with a 1875 victory over Mil
waukee; Cincinnati edged
Houston, 80; the Cubs bombed
Pittsburgh, 9-5, and the Nets
downed Philadelphia, 80.
Willie Davis triple triggered
a five-run eighth inning that
broke a SIS tie at st. Louis. He
scored on an error, and Jun
ior Gillian wrapped it UP later
in the inning with a three-run
homer.
Stan Breaks Record
The Cardinals Stan Musial
also had a homer, breaking the
major league record for extra
base hits he shared with Babe
Ruth. Musial now has 1857
extra base hits, including 465
home runs.
The Giants, who have won
eight Of their last nine, rushed
across seven runs on five hits
and a couple Of errors in the
fourth inning at Milwaukee and
breeZed in.
1t was Milwaukee's fifth
straight loss. Willie McCovey
homered for the Giants and
Frank Boiling for the Braves.
Veteran Lefty Joe Nuxhall
scattered seven hits in pitch.

abling diseases, the cost to the citizen

Within two weeks after the examination,
residents are notified by mail at their
homes as to whether they should consult
physician or clinic for treatment.
To DR.. Murray Grant, the District
Health Director, the community has a
twofold stake in the pioneering effort
he has in large measure fostered. First,
there is the incalculable benefit for each
person taking the tests. Second, since
1t is an experimental program, its sue
cess or failure may largely depend on
the degree of public response.
Because the Public Health Service
is partner, and is equipped to extend
this boon to other cities, it is hoped that
Washington will demonstrate to the Ma
tion the advantages Of thus detecting
crippling diseases before they take root.

Mid-Eost Evolution

There is basic virtue in the current
effort Of three Middle East states to join
in a new version of United Arab Re-
public. 1t is a virtue that is not neces-
sarily tied to Cairo as the capital city or
to Camel Abdel NaSser as the first
president Of the new republic, although
both Of these are the logical and almost
inescapable choices. The virtue rests,
instead, in the reaching for, and at
least the limited capture Of, the long
time goal Of Arab unity.
The goal is not fully achieved and
may not be for a long time. In the
present case agreement has been reached
by representatives Of Egypt, Syria and
Iraq on political federation-with a
prospective united front on foreign and
defense policies, but with such matters
as legislative assembly, budget-making,
taxation and other domestic require
ments still to be worked out.
There are no insuperable obstacles
In all this, but the problems are obvious.
The Egyptian-Syrian union OF a few
years ago collapsed for two reasons,
namely, that the Syrians did not have
a competent and experienced staff OF
governmental personnel and that intro
duction Of Egyptian personnel with these
qualifications was highly unpopular.
This problem prevails in Iraq to a
somewhat lesser degree, but Egypt itself
has only limited supply OF qualified
professional and technical personnel to
offer It's friends.

Montgomery Mandate

It Is now inconceivable that the
Montgomery County Council will carry
out its proposed repeal Of the public
accommodations law in defiance Of the
overwhelming opposition being voiced
by the citizens.
The council has heard the ordi-
nance upheld by speaker after speaker,
including civic, political and Govern
ment figures. Among the latter, the
State Departments Pedro A. Sanjuan
spoke of the embarrassment and shame,
the setback to free world leadership,
the United States would suffer from
reputation of the new anti-discrimi-
nation act.
But perhaps the most persuasive
argument came from least expected
source, Councilwoman Kathryn E. Diggs,
who announced her personal, soul
searching decision thus:
1t appears that the vast majority Of the
people Of Montgomery County desire in a
practical way to carry out the principles
laid down in that immortal document, the
Declaration OF Independence. To me this
means equal opportunity for ALL equal ex-
preston Tor all and equal accommodation
for all. This being my conclusion I cannot
in good conscience as Christian and as a
council member vote TO repeal this ordinance.
County Attorney Tobin has raised
the point that, after June /, the county
law may run into conflict with a new
State accommodations law. Be that as
1t may, this is a matter the courts will
have to settle, and 1t certainly should
not be used as an excuse for repeating
the broader and more effective Mont
gomery law.

1t is not surprising If Nikita Khru-
shchev, now in his 10th year, is having
some intimationS of mortality. Time, as
1t does with all of us, obviously wears
upon him more and more the older he
gets, and he Is realist enough to ac-
knowledge that he will not live forever.
Thus, as he has Just told an audience
IN Moscow, II cannot hold for all time
the positions have in the party and
state"
Presumably, since he is an atheist
who scoffs at the idea of eternal life
beyond the grave, the Soviet Premier
must have some melancholy moments
when he contemplates the prospect Of
his passing. At any rate, according to
his own Self-proclaimed belief, he can
not escape saying of himself, despite the
pomp and power of his present circum-
stances, that his ultimate destiny is
nothing but dust, nothing but complete
negation.
These considerations to one side,
however, the fact remains that Mr..
KhruShchev, whether he enjoys an after
life or not, Is man who has had, and
still has, a tremendous impact on the
course OF history in our time. So 1t is of
considerable Importance that he has
begun to drop hints about his possible
retirement as Premier and also, perhaps,
as boss OF the Soviet Communist Party.
Needless to say, If this is what is in the
Moscow wind, If Mr.. K. is really on the
way out, voluntarily or otherwise, the
world as whole has reason to hold its
breath as 1t speculates over who and
what might follow him.
Certainly, from the standpoint of
the free world, there could be Soviet
PremierS lot worse than Mr.. Khru-
Shchev. To mention Just a few of his
good points, he has smashed the image
OF Stain and observation-disclosures to a
strictly limited extent-the USSR's way
OF life, Intellectually and otherwise In
deed, he has done this on scale sweep
ing enough to make discrimination of
the country seem virtually impossible
without stirring up mass uprising. AS
for his foreign policy, although he still
expects to bury" the West with nonmil-
itary devices, he has offered rather con-
vincing evidence that he wants to avoid
nuclear war and is completely out of
sympathy with Red China's let's-you-
and-him-fight bellicosity.
All things considered, therefore, Mr..
Khrushchev, whose latest statement on
Laos is encouraging, is Soviet leader
that the West has been able to live with,
and even like in some respects. One must
hope that when he is withdrawn from
the scene, either by act Of God or the
Central Committee of the USSR'S Com
muniSt Party, his successor will be
equally flexible-and sufficiently at
tuned to the terrible nuclear realities to
make possible detente, If not an endur-
ing peace settlement, in our tragically
divided world.

Threat to the Avenue

The Presidents ADVISORY Council on
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue is caught in di-
lemma. While its members have pretty
good idea of the general concepts they
will propose for redeveloping the historic
Avenue, they are not ready to talk about
the detailS-and will not be until the fall.
At the same time they warn that several
current or imminent construction prof.
ects in that area are "inimical" to their
thinking, and could severely impair the
ultimate value of their plan.
Against this background the council
members have issued plea for a delay
of construction along the Avenue be-
tween the Capitol and the Treasury
Department during the next several
months. Their bargaining position is
not strong. They have no legal power
to enforce freeze. They are not even
prepared, at this time, to justify fully
their objections to specific projects.
Private developers, If they choose, and
government agencies, are free to thumb
their noses at the request and go their
merry ways. And under different cir
cumstances, they might we'll be juSti-
fled in doing so. In the name Of "plan-
ming" the rights of property owners
to use their land have been subjected
too often in the past to unconscionable
delays.
There are three factors, however,
which distinguish this situation. First,
the period of delay is not excessive. The
completed plan for the Avenue is Sched-
uled to reach the President by october.
If he decides to give 1t his full and Wig
orouS support, there is strong likelihood
that It's key provisions may be followed.
If on the other hand he does not, the
plan might as well be put on the shelf.
In any event, no great period Of time
should be required after next october
to evaluate its prospects. Second, II the
plan turns out to be as attractive is its
authors believe 1t will be, real advantages
might well accrue to property owners
who wait, and abide by its provisions.
Third, and most important, PennSyl-
vania Avenue is no ordinary city street.
The top-notch architects, artists and city
planners who are the council members
take the position that 1t is the most
important street in the Nation, that it
belongs to all Americans, and that the
most imaginative sort of treatment is
needed in order to restore the Avenue
to a condition worthy of that status.
We think they are absolutely right on
this point And any new development
which does needless violence to orderly
redevelopment Is wrong.
Some Of the construction projects
which the council members are con-
cerned about may be too far along now
to stop. We do not know. But certainly
others are not. In any event, the request
of the council that private developers
confer with it and with the National
Capital Planning Commission before
proceeding with further construction in
the Pennsylvania Avenue area is rea-
Sonable one. Meanwhile, the council it
self should seek an immediate meeting
with the District Commissioners, to en-
list their support in any way 1t can be
given.

Riqhts of Indians

hearings by a Senate sub
committee were held recently
in which testimony was given
by reputable persons con-
cerning violation Of civil
rights Of a segment Of our

tainly qualify as a minority

Surely no one will deny
that the American Indian is
