The veteran catcher, who will be .lit year* old next month, moved into the job last night when Joe McCarthy. Yankee manager for 15 year* and winner of eight pennant* ami seven world series, resigned because of ill health. 'There sever was atty question —Joe and I agreed on Dickey," suld lairry MacPhall. president of the Yankees, as he announced the change*. Dickey has been regular Yankee catcher since 1929, and Is the last member of the New Yorkers' “murderer’s row’’ — Babe Ruth, l-ou Gehrig. Tony I-azzeri and Benny Bengough. His judgment in handling the pitchers never has been questioned, and he wa* regarded a* the driving force of Yankee team* before his induction in the navy in 1944. MacPhall said that Dickey’s managerial contract was for two seasons- 1946 and 1947. and that the new manager hail been given a salary increase over the (25.000 per year it was believed he was getting as a player. Dickey faced an immediate problem. The Yankees are five games behind league-leading Boston and cannot afford to lose the three-games serie*. McCarthy telegraphed hi* resignation to MacPhall from bls farm home near Buffalo. N. Y.. where he went early this week after a gall-bladder attack at Detroit. ’’My physician advise* that my health would be seriously jeopardized if I continued and thia is the sole reason for my decision, which is entirely voluntary.” McCarthy’s message said. MacPhail telephoned the 58-year-old Irishman Immediately, hoping to dissuade him. as he did last season when illness made McCarthy want to quit. But MeCathy held firm this time, agreeing only to serve In an advisory capacity should Dickey want hi* help. Democrat Editors In Meeting Today Indianapolis, May 25— (UP) —

Pepper went Io Whitney's hotel room at mlditlght. two hours after the president's two-fisted broadcast to the nation. With Whitney, Pepper sought to work out a 1 plan to end the strike and head off restrictive labor legislation. Mr. Truman's railroad seisura order of May 17 makes no provision for government-union negotiation of an Interim contract to cover working conditlona during the period of government operaDmuof Qie lines.
