Musial Voted Senior Loop's Most Valuable New York, Pec. 2—(UP)— Slugging Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals, who walked off with virtually every batting distinction in his circuit the past season, today was voted the National league’s most valuable player for the third time in his seven-year career. The 28-year-old Cardinal outfielder from Donora. Pa., who won the batting championship with a percentage of .376, previously was voted the National league’s most valuable player in 1946 and 1943. It marked the first time in history that any player has won the National league award three times. Joe DiMaggio and Jimmy Foxx were three-time winners in the American league. Musial, a left-handed powerhitter who paced his loop with 131 runs batted in, gathered 18 first-place votes from the 24 baseball writers who cast ballots. His 303 point total was 80 higher than the 223 points polled by runnerup JohnnySain, 24-game winner for the Boston Braves. Votes were counted on the basis of 14 points for each first-place ballot, nine points for second, eight points for third and so on down the line. Sain received five first-place votes and Boston’s shortstop Alvin Dark, who finished third with 174 points, received the only other first-place vote. Rounding ou- the top five were Sid Gordon, New York Giants’ third baseman who was in fourth place with 72 votes, and pitcher Harry Brecheen of the Cardinals who was fifth with 61 points. Other players who received votes included: Pee Wee Reese, Brooklyn; Ralph Kiner, Pirates; Enos Slaughter, Cards; Dan Murtaugh, Pirates; Stan Rojek, Pirates; Richie Ashburn. Phils; Johnny Schmitz, Cubs; Bob Elliott, Boston third baseman who won the award last year; Warren Spahn. Braves; Jackie Robinson. Dodgers; Andy Pafko, Cubs; Johnny Mize, New York; and Rex Barney, Dodgers. Pro Basketball BAA Fort Wayne 84. Minneapolis 74. Rochester 73. New York 72. Washington 75. Providence 63.

From Page One) promote Arab-Jewish peace negotiations—but not empowered to make ita own proposals for a final settlement. ♦ A combination of Arab states, the Soviet bloc and a small group of steadfast Israel supporters brought about the rejection of the ■ proposal dealing with the Pales- . tine boundaries.

Israeli supporters opposed it 1 because ,of Israel’s claim that a £ commission with the powers proposed by the Anglo-Americans

From Page One). “Everything is normal," said. , Mrs. Frische. “We now have help for all three eight-hour shifts and we can take care of any patients that are brought in.” Mrs. Frische said doctors had not been notified formally that the hospital was open for regular operation. But she said, she would not turn down any patients. The staff is not as big as it was Monday when the walkout occurr- ] ed. But Mrs. Frische said more I i i nurses and workers would be em■i ployed as needed. (| "We don’t need a full staff with I ■ only one patient in the hospital ] | and one baby in the nursery,” she] i, said. From Monday night, when the ] > i last of 11 patients was removed I • because of the walkout, until last I night the hospital had only a skeleton staff on duty in case of emergency. Asked if the personnel she had ] ■ hired included any of the group > who walked out, Mr’. Frische said i she had “no comment." "I feel that the town has been , torn apart as it is," she said. "I • do not want to stir up any more i bitterness. I agreed to serve as i ac ing superintendent because I - felt our hospital should he in operation.” The walkout occurred in protest to the resignation of Mrs. B. : Royer, who said she was fed up ■ with "unfair criticism” from two t of the four members of the hos- ’ pital board. The two other mem bers resigned at the same time, t but the remaining two met in i emergency session Tuesday night • and appointed successors for i those who resigned.
