the Pittsburgh area as a man who

In 1860 general manager Joe

the National League crown and
went on to beat the New York

tum and slumped badly.
This year Joe Brown after some
wheeling and dealing has a new
Pirate team. This club listed nine
Negroes on their playing roster,
and when Gene Baker was ap-
pointed coach the figure rose to
10.
This Is the first time In the
history Of the major leagues that
one club has presented as many
Negroes ON their club on open
ing day.
This list includes right fielder
Roberto Clemente, who gets my
vote as the best right fielder in
the game today. Don Clendenon
rated as one of the finest all
around athletes to ever wear a
Pirate uniform, Earl Francis, a big
fire balling right hand pitcher, Al
Mclean another highlander who
won Is games for the Pirates last
year, and others who do not play
as prominent role but are play
ers who will be heard from in the
future.
One of these is Ted Savage, an
outfielder, acquired from Phila-
delphia. Another is Willie Stargell
a rookie who can play either first
or the outfield. Bob Veal, a hard
throwing left handler, and two
others Julio Gotay, hailed as q

The threat of a strike by
AB&W bus line workers serv-
ing Northern Virginia localities
was ended last night by union
members acceptance of a new
three-year labor contract.
Martin j. Bond, local union
president, said the contract
calls for wage increases total
ing 2812 cents an hour over 80

Improved fringe benefits in

the contract by a vote of 173 to

The union had opened nego-
tiationS by asking a Accent
hourly increase in a one-year
contract.
The company countered with
an offer of Is cents an hour

The union members rejected
that proposal and a second

Cardinal Bea's statement was

Split Over Authority
Roman Catholicism views
itself divided from the ortho-
dox because of an 18th Century
schism over supreme authority,
rather than a break for doc
trinal reasons. The Protestant
reformation in the 10th Gen.
tury involved doctrinal and
disciplinary questions.
Bishop TomaSek, without
mentioning Professionals, was
paraphrased by Council press
spokesman as saying:
IF unity between Catholics
and Orthodox is seriously de-
sired, there should be convoked
an ecumenical council bring
ing together both Catholic and
Orthodox bishops. The great
undertaking should be care
fully and progressively pre-
pared in frequent meetings of

RICHMOND, Dec. 2.-There

Prince Edward shut its public

THE refusal Of the highest
