Cards' Skipper Not Alarmed Al Team's Losses New York. April 29. (VP) The old ski|»per himself, drawling I Eddie Dyer, explained today In just three little words what was ailing his world champion St. > Louis Cardinals, then went right on and prescribed a remedy. "Were not hitting." he said. I "But I'm not unduly alarmed Give us some warm weather and a. stretch of games without postponements and I think well get going " Reminded that the Cardinals were in last place for the first time since April 25. 1938 ..nd that they went on that season to finish : in last place, he replied: "Sure. 1 know that we haven't looked good. But I'm not whistling in the dark about it when I say that we haven't had a chance to, we've had cold and damp weatiier that has hampered our: pitchers. You know we've got: some real good kids. And you | know we’ve got some kids that can hit. too." Dyer said he was convinced that Stan Muslal, the 1946 major league hatting king who finished with a mark of .365 soon will “lick the slump” that has him down to an embarrassing .130 mark. The fatherly Dyer, who calls all his hoys kids, said (hat he had a long talk with Muslal on the train to New York where the. Cardinals open a 14-game road trip today against the Giants. "I think the kid has been pressing a little too much." he, said "So much has been expected of him after he won the most valuable player award and stood out so well last season. I told him that the reason we stopped Ted Williams last year in the world series against Boston was ■ that he was pressing and that as j a great natural athlete Stan, wouldn't be in trouble if he was Just relaxed. I think he will start going any time now." Dyer also pointed out that two of his top stars, the veteran Terry Moore and young Ervin Dusak. had been hampered witii injuries. Meanwhile. the Cards and ' Giants were down at the bottom in the National league with two wins and seven losses apiece, an i even worse rating than that of the nondescript Philadelphia A's who I have three victories and six defeats as last place occupants in the American. Not since late in 1944, when they dropped eight out of nine games in a stretch ( just before clinching the pennant, have the Cards been in such a, slump. The batting average is an even .200. 51 points below that of the Chicago Cubs who are next lowest with a .251 mark. And the Bed Birds also are at the bottom in every other hitting department. They have hit only four homers I wlille other clubs range from five Ito 16. They have batted in 22 i runs for an av’erage of 2.44 per I game whereat) other clubs totals I go from 37 to 57. In two base hits. Chicago and St. I-xniis are tied at the bottom with 11 each and the other totals range from 12 to 25. In the only major league game ] played yesterday.

Cadogan replied, does not Intend to “use its own blood and treasure" in enforcing an assembly recommendation which requires help from others. "It is on this point," he said tartly, “lhat I shall make a reservation at the proper time." All. employing polished sarcasm, said he sympathized with “bls' majesty's government In its present untenable position" but hej believed the United Nations would j I>e involved in "a sheer waste of time " if there was no way of knowing that its recommendations will be heeded. Gromyko disclosed in two brief but important remarks in the steering committee's opening session that Hussia would give at least qualified support to the Arab campaign for a full debate of immediate independence for Palestine. The steering committee, subject to overruling by a two-thirds vote of the 55 nati<>n full assembly, adjourned until afternoon its discussion of the Egyptian request

The hulk of Marshall's report, as he admitted, was a repetition of the various Issues dehated and i duly reported by the press and radio from Moscow. But for the first time he disclosed part of j what Stalin told him at their] first and only Kremlin conference on April 15. It appears now. from Marshall's version of that conversation, that the Russians never had expected much to come of the Moscow conference except preliminary "skirm- • Ishes and brushes of reconnaisane* forces.” Stalin, who directed the Red army during the war. used that military phrase to describe his evaluation of the conference to Marshall, the professional soldier

He reminded the new U. 8. secretary of state that differences in the past hud been solved "after people ex hausted themselves in dispute" and then "recognized the necessity of compromise." It Is necessary to have "patience and not become pessimistic." Stalin told Marshall. Marshall did not reveal directly what lie replied to Stalin's thesis I But he made his position clear: to the American people last night ] in two succinct sentences; "We must not compromise on! great principles in order to achieve agreement for agree-1 ment's sake . . .
