Pirates Hand ■ o' Giants Second Straight loss By UNITED PRESS Hey, Leo Duroeher, what about that ‘‘operation miracle--? This was about the time a" year ago when the jaunty Giants suddenly got going and wound up with the most astounding stretch run in baseball history—with a’ pennant playoff payoff against the Dodgers. . But now, even the Giants : are much closer to the Dodgers 1 than they were in 1951, the outj look is getting bleaker by the day. The Giant?' can’t even beat the Pirates — regarded the poorest team in the; majors. „ Friday thp Pirates swept their first series s|ince July 3. 1951, when they made it two straight over the Giants by topping them, 6 to 2. The Pirates now have won five out 1 of 12 games from the Giants, and that ■ included a two-out-of three series triumph in their last trip to the Polo Grounds. The Dodgers moved 5% games in front by defeating the Cubs, 6 to 5, while the Cardinals’ 10-game winning streak ended when they lost to the Phillies, 4 to 3, in 10 innings; and the Braves beat the Reds, 5 to 1. on Warren Spahn’s seven-hitter. “ Tn the American league the Browns ended a nine-game losing streak add Tommy Bryne snapped his own seven-game defeat string by topping the Yankees, 6 to 3.

First Dispute Brought Up At „ Olympic Games HELSINKI, UP — Basketball, a sport usually dominated by the United States, provided the first international incident of the forthcoming Olympic games today. The dispute was whether to adNationalist or Communist China to the games and it will have to be resolved by the international blympic committee. a Avery Brundage, vice-president of the IOC, said the executive committee may discussJhe China question I today, although a final de. cision probably will not be reached until the July 16 meeting the committee. j The Finnish organizing dThnmittee and almost everyone else connected with the games, except U. S. basketball officials, were concerned over the controversy because of the complications which might develop. .1 They included the possibility that, if Nationalist China Is admitted Russia and her satellites might decide to withdraw from the games. But that was bnly a long-shot possibility because the chances are that neither Chinese group will be admitted. The U. S., although keeping its hands off the East-Wesf dispute, let it be known that it was all-out to\win the basketball championship—whether Nationalist or Communist \ China be Ahiong the teams it must beat. Warren Womble, Tiead coach of the American team, said he was not concerned over the booing and criticism of U. S. “sky-scraper” stars which marked the American victory in the Olympics at London in 1948. “They can jeer ’til the roof in. but we are going to* use the tallest and best r men in every game until we have Its on ice," he said. “As long as the Olympic committee sanctions tall men. there is no limit on their height. There is no reason why we shouldn’t present our best against the best which the. rest of the world has| to offer.” ’ . ' ... \ ■ In the 1948 games, Coach Adolph Rppp of Kentucky was so influenced by the booing and criticism of the U. S. using its cohrt giants that in sojne games he left such stars as ieven-foot Bob Kurland off the team, using* the smaller players on his squad. ? As a result, the U. S. almost blew the championship.. For in the semi-final against Argentina—with Kurland and another skyscraper In uniform—the U.S. was trailing by 10 points with only four minutes io iday. A sensational rally advanced .'the Americans to the final, where they won the championship.

Before every attack, it has always been my practice to seek out our men in their camps and along the road and talk with them face to face about their concerns and discuss with them the great mission tp which we were all NIXON PLANS (Continued From Page One) public lost all interest in the affair. President Truman unwittingly gave Nixon a helping hand by ridiculing his Communist hunt as a “red-herring”—a phrase that came back to haunt the President when the Californian Hiss. Nixon broke the Hiss case wide open one night in 1948. when Whittaker Chambers led him to a pumpkin patch behind the Chambers’ Maryland farm home and showed him a cache of documents linking Hiss to a Communist network in the federal government. Those documents eventually landed Hiss in a federal prison for perjury. J Nixon broke into politics six years ago when he spotted an Advertisement placed in a California newspaper by a citizens' committee. The ad called for a candidate to run against veteran Rep. Jerry Voorhis in California’s 12 district. ' Nixon answered the ad. took on Voorhis in a series of LincolnDouglas style debates, and won the election. The national publicity he won on the Hiss case carried him into the Senate in 1950 after a bitter campaigh against actress-politician Jlelen Gahagan Douglas. ' Born Jan. 9, 1913, in Yorba Linda. Calif.,\ near Los Angeles, Nixon now has his permanent home in Whittier, a Quaker colony which also is close to the movie dapital. He and his attractive wife, the former Patricia Ryan, spent! most of the year with their two young daughters, Patricia and Julie, in a modest home in Washington. I / " A graduate of Whittier College, her received a law degree from Duke University in 1937 and was practicing law in Whittier when he joined the navy during World War 11.

I believe we should suppbrt the United-r Nations/’ Saltonstall said, “and make it [work it we can.”\ DEMOCRATS (Continued From Page One) that Eisenhower’s nomination was merely “an attempt to disguise tlje true nature of the Republican party.” ••However they may try to conceal it, the fact remains that the Republican party is still the party of grim reaction . . The platform adopted at the convention makes it crystal clear that the party has not changed,” Harriman asserted.

Taking the same line as Harritnna, Kerr said that by nominating Eisenhower, “the Republican party has again tried to run away from its own record and its own leaders . . . ”, Kerr said, however, that no matter how Eisenhower “tries to escape it, the Republican party’s record will be a greater handicap than he can overcome. After Nov. jl, he will be a sadder but wiser general.” , Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illi-
