WIN LOSE OR DRAW
There Are More Ways
For Giles to Shake MI

WHATEVER WARREN GILES was try
ing to prove may never be known, or at
least understood. But now that his umpireS
have been instructed to ease off strict in
depreciation of the balk rule it occurs there
are some other ways in which Mr. Giles
could shake up his National League.
For instance, what about the first base
mans foot leaving the bag before the ball
reaches him? Ditto at second base, both
on force and double plays. If the umpires
ever put camera eye on these stations
the MeSSrS. Fred Hutchinson Paul Richards
and everybody else would be making
speeches or sending indignant kilograms
again.
1.-THE umpires are charitable to first
basemen, shortstopS and second basement"
General Manager George Selkirk of the
Senators said yesterday at D. C. Stadium.
Il guess they figure there'd be too many
rhubarbs If they didn't But some Of the
first basement Vic Power especially, really
are fragrant about stepping off to reach
the thrown ball"
The Minnesota fancy Dan is SelkirkS
prize exhibit But there are some other
first baSemen who cheat a lot Of the time"
George said. II can think Of White of the
Cardinals, Cepeda of the Giants and Larker
Of the Braves"
MICKEY VERNON AGREES it would be
awkward perhaps, If Mr.. Giles switched
his reform jag to the so-called automatic"
plays. But we didn't always have first
basemen who left the bag early" Mickey
said. when I was breaking into the
majors there were hardly any that I can
think Of
"Gil Hodges started it, as far as can
remember. He was very quick to come off
base Then Joe Adcock picked 1t up. Most
of EN- today can't bear too much watching.
Remember Bud Zipfel?" Mickey asked.
"He left the base early, too. Then came
day in 81 when Zipfel was called on it.
Last time saw it called, think Anyway,
we were going into Minneapolis for the
first time and needed win-and the call
hurt us badly.
"They probably wouldn't have picked
on a veteran like Power. But Zipfel, who
was he? Just a rookie"
VERNON IS ONE OF the few managers
or coaches who has shown any tolerance
toward the National Leagues breakdown
on the one-second stop rule for pitchers.
They we're beginning to get rid Of the ball
pretty fast with a runner on baSe," Mickey
said.
ats on account of Maury Wills chiefly.
The pitchers haven't been coming to a
full stop. After all. they'd been warned in
spring training that balks were going to
be called They had plenty of time to
work on their stop"
Still fresh in Mickeys mind is the MI
umpire who asked him in Florida, prior
to an exhibition against the Cardinals, how
his pitchers we're delivering. They stop
or Just pause?" he inquired.

Pause" Vernon said
"All right" said the umpire I'VE won't
bother your men. But our pitchers will
come to full stop or we'll call balks."
OF all the Washington pitchers, Dave
Stenhouse probably would have had the
most trouble If he'd been a National
Lacquer these last three weeks. Dave is
like Bob Friend Of Pittsburgh" Mickey said.
HE makes the stretch, barely pauses
then lets it fly"

Parts of the stories were translated, to

There was no rhythm in his boxing, no

Freedom OF Expression

be the person hurt most in the long
run. Certainly. if the editor bows under
pressure and prints only what is popu-
lar> at the moment, the reader, finds
himself in situation where he cannot
decide issues on their merit because
he is not informed or armed with the

Freedom Of expression, whether
it be an editor in the press, or a private
citizen, is one of the most precious
rights we enjoy as American citizens.
If those today who are concentrating
so nightly on forcing everyone else

succeed, which is doubtful, they may
rest assured the day will come when
they, too, will feel the lash Of the con-
forrnists.s

native to the democracy un-
der which we live.
Finally, and most import
ant Of all, I ask you as
Christian people to consider
the real moral issue which
lies st the base Of the whole
crisis, are we morally justi-
fled in refusing TO admit to
the University Of Mississippi
any student who meets all
the necessary requirements
except for the color of his
skin? Remember, the ques-
ton here is not "What would
like?" or "What do I
want?' The question is sim
ply what is just and right?"
Our governor has said that
the states cause on this score
is righteous and just and I
am sure he is sincere in his
belief as are many other
Mississippians who share If
with him. But in the name
of reason and of Christian
standards of freedom and
justice. I ask you to consider
the fact that no university
in the world would defend
This position nationally. and
no Christisn church in the
world would defend if NOR
ally.
And I do not believe that
anv one of us here today
could stand in the nresence
of Jesus of Nazareth, look
Him soliarelv in the eve. and
say. eve will not admit a
NEGRO to the University of
Miscissippi." For II was our

UnpIedged EIector Line

Governor Ross Barnett and Ala
bama's Wallace have apparently joined
forces in launching the Unpledged
Elector movement to defeat President
John f. Kennedy next year.
AT any rate the two men will be
the. big attractions at a statewide
$25.00 plate dinner in Jackson June
18th to raise funds for the Unpledged
Elector campaign. 84i ~
With enormous problems facing
both states, it would appear these gen.
tlemen would have more than enough
to demand their time and attention in
discharging the duties of their offices,
without thinking about next years
national political campaign.
Governor Barnett is really borrow
ing trouble because he will not even be
in office = and everything he is doing
now could and probably will be nulli-
fled by a new administration which
will take office in January.
But of course if the Unpledged
Elector movement can be handled in
way to focus the minds of MISSISSIPPI
plans on national events and keep the
hate-Kennedy fever at high pitch, it
can be used to influence the outcome of
the state gubernatorial election possi-
bly, electing the candidate favored by
the Barnett administration. At the
same time the peoples minds may be
kept off certain acts of commission
and omission during the past four
four years, certainly an objective to be
desired by some politicians in the adj
ministration, if not Governor Barnett
himself.
But we do not believe the people
of Mississippi will be fooled by these
obvious tactics.
Mississippians, although not favor
ing the forced integration of a Negro
student at Ole Miss, have come to real
ize that any man occupying the office
of president of the United States would
have been compelled to actin the same
way that President Kennedy did -
yes, even Barry Goldwater, although
another man in office might not have
been as patient as Mr.. Kennedy.
And Mississippians know the man
to BE elected governor this year should
be the man who is best qualified by
character, ability and experience, to
serve the state of Mississippi and all
the people, That is the issue, the only
issue.
They know, too, that it helps to
have friends in Washington = and
friendly national administration can
do much for our state.
Finally, Mississippians are tired OF
being laughed at, of having snide re-
marks come our way at every hand
and corner We want a governor who
will occupy that high office with Dig
nifty and honor and handle its pro-
blems in a capable and realistic nsan-
