Major League Teams Resume Regular Play NEW YORK; UP — Brooklyn’s, high command finally heeded the I anguished plea of Chuck Dressen by sending up “shock troops” today as firing resumed on all big | league fronts. J Pushed into the Brooklyn breach will be Glenn Mickens. 2?I year-old right handed pitcher from Fort Worth of the Texas Deague, and Dick Williams, 24-yearold outfielder from Montreal of the In--4 j ternational league. i \ “And if that’s not \ snapped Dressen, intent on preserving a 1% game lead .in the face of a western invasion, ‘‘we’ll get some more!” Actually. Charlie was rushing things a little. * Mickens, who was a spring sensation with the Dodgers and owned an $-5 record with Fort Worth, won’t report at Ebbets Field until Friday.. while Williams, hitting .286 at Montreal, isn’t due until Monday. i "Mickens is ready to win in the majors,” said Dressen, "and from what they tell me, Williams is 50 percent improved from the last time he was with us. "Do I think they’ll help us? Hell, we wouldna’ brought ’em up if I didn’t think so.’.’ "While Dressen anxiously awaited his replacements, Casey Stengel. whosfe Yankees launch a ' ’ western invasion in St. Louis to- | night, had worries of his own despite his team’s five-game bulge. Stengel’s chief concern centered around his switch hitting slUg- , gteig’’ star. Mickey Mantle. ' ’’The kid’s got me worried,” said Stengel. “His leg is bothering him and he may not be able to play -!i, for awhile. If he has to stay out too long, we’ll be in trouble.” Mantle aggravated a* leg injury during the All-Star game Tuesday and Stengel, who wanted to rest him in the first place, was forced to take him out. R reported that Mantle is suffering from wa- . ter on the knee and might not be able to play for at least four br j days. . (

General Manager George Weiss accompanied the Yankees to St. Louis but refused to say whethet he planned to bring up any Kansas City farm hands although he will visit that city. Dressen and Stengel plotted how to stretch their lends, other managers schemed how to cut them still shorter. Most of the contenders looked on the three-day Alb Star “vacation” as a break for them. "We needed a breather,” said Charlie Grimm, whose Braves are 114 games behind Brooklyn, “and now that we had tt, 4 think we’re ready to move up agaih.” Steve O'Neill said the rest was bound to benefit his injured Phils while Eddie Stanky explained that it enabled hini to get his Cardinal pitching rotation in order again for an important series starting against the Dodgers tonight. Leo Durocher was probably the happiest of all even though his Giants are 6% games off the pace. “Our big hitters — Monte Irvin, Bobby Thomson, Whitey Lockman and Hank Thompson — are racking the ball the way they did in 1951,” smiled Durocher, "and what’s more, we now have this kid pitcher Al Worthington.” Adding most to Stengel’s discoinforture were: the red-hot White Sox, winners of 25 out of their last 31 games. “The Yankees,” promised White Sox Manager paul,Richards, “will hear from us further.” I

McCarthy said today he believed his plea to Democratic members to come back to his permanent investigating subcommittee will fall on deaf ears. McCarthy made his comment as hf» announced appointment of Frank P. Carr, a veteran FBI security expert, to succeed J. B. Matthews as executive director of the subcommittee. Matthews’ resignation was accepted in the middle of a controversy over his Written charge that the Protestant clergy harbors some who support Communism. In a “I want your aid" letter to the three Democrats who bolted the subcommittee last week, the Wisconsin Republican said “the door is open for your, I want your cooperatioh In meeting the Communist cteHeage to our country.” But McCarthy later said he does not expect their return. Hie said the letter was written “to make it very clear what our position was.” “Oh, 1 don’t think they will come back,” McCarthy said. Until Wednesday, indications were that the entire Democratic delegation in the senate would ■boycott tile subcommittee. But then the Senate’s newest member —Sen. Alton A. Lennon, 'D-N. C.— announced that although he hadn't made up his mind, finally, his “present intention” was to request an assignment on the subcommittee.
