Streibert Named Information Head I : . i. ] ® Will Head Nation's . Overseas Program WASHINGTON UP — Theodore C. Streibert. President Eisenhower’s choice to head the U. S., overseas information program, Sppar-; en!tly will step into One of Washington’s hottest spujts, with his ey|es wide’ open. * The first thing he said after the White House announced his nomination latp Thursday was “I’ve got a big job to do and a iot of responsibility. It’s a tough job.” His predecessor, Dr. 'Robert L. Johnson, might well say “Amen.” The Temple University president is quitting on doctor’s orders after only five months. One of the' contributing causes. lie said, was the “Jiarassments” of his post. Toward- the end of his brief term Johnson was einbroiled in a sharp running controversy with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy R-Wis., a leading critic of the embattled international information administration. McCarthy! had no immediate comment on Streibert's. appoints ment. But some sources Relieved the former radio executive might be too clpsely identified with recent U. S. information program, in Germany to suit the Wisconsin Republican, ! ! • McCarthy has been highly critical of the program and some of its officials and recently clashed with James B. Conant, U. S. high commissioner for Germany, on the issup. Streibert. slated to be the sixth information chief in five years, has been a consultant on public affa|r< in the high commissioner’s office. Formerly he was board chairman of the Mutual Broadcasting System and president of radio statlonWOß in New York City.

Yankees Drop Final Game Os Indian Series NEW YORK UP —The Yankees can be caught and it will happen in about a month, if they keep losing ground the way they have since their 18-game winning streak was ended on June 16. Since time titty have only a 24-21 won and lost rtcord while: the second-place White Sox have a gaudy 30-12 mark for the same stretch and the Yankee lead bf 10% on Jund 16 has been whittled to 4%. The Yankees, in fact, hate played the poorest ball of any of the teams in the first division, during that stretch. Boston has gone 27-16 while Cleveland is 26-20. Thus, if the White Sox could continue their pace, which was even more spectacular until they hit a recession last week in which they lost six out lof seven games, they definitely could overtake the New Yorkers. Os course, if the Yankees pbrk up, they can coast home. Thursday, as Manager Casey Stengel observed his 62nd birthday gloomily, the Indians salvaged ai 4-3 victory in the finale of the series as relief pitcher Early Wynn became the first man to beat them three times this year. \ ■ Wynn did it with thieve scoreless relief innings, and young Bill Glynn, subbing at first base for the slumping Luke Easter, supplied the winning punch with his first major-league triple the eighth inning after relief pitcher Tom Gorman had walked Wally West lake. The White Sox put on their biggest hit spree of the year, pounding out 21 in a 17-.1 rout of Boston for a sweep of the three-game series. Feri is Fain, Minnie Minoso, and Tom Wright homered. Jim Rivera hit three singles and a double and Fain, Minoso and Sherm Lollar made three hits apiece in the ipelee. L Washington topped Detroit, 7-4, on the margin of a bases-loaded triple by Jim Busby in the fifth. That offset a three-run homer by Walt Di-opo in the ninth inning when tiring Chuck Stobbs gave up spur of Detroit’s six hits? The Athletics swc|)t a threegame series with the Browns by scoring five runs in the second inning for a 5-3 triumph. Gus Zernial led Off the frame by hitting his 23rd homer off loser Mike Blyzka. Marion Fricano held the Browns to eight hits for his fifth victory. Milwaukee cut- Brooklyn’s lead to seven games in the National by defeating the Gialnts. 5-0, on a sixhitter by Lew Burdette, while the Dodgers lost. 3-2, at Chicago on the margin of Ralph Kiner’p threcrun first inning homer. Philadelphia crushed Cincinnati, 17-8, Qel Ennis (Jrove in six runs witjji a pair <of Romers and a pair ofsingles and the Cardinals topped Pittsburgh. 10-4. | Burdette, who lias been converted into a starter,, Milwaukee its' third shutout in the four game scries with the Giants. The Braves knocked out starrier Sal Maglie in the first inning with three runs, two on a single by Joe Adcpck. Kiner’s 24th honker gave Bob Rush working room for his fifth victory, a seven - hitter, and; he would have had a shutout’ except for errors. The defeat ended a five - game Brooklyn winning streak. The Phils made nine runs in the sixth inning when 13 men egme to bat. They made 18 hits, Gran Hamner also getting four. • A five-run sixth inning rally in which Solly Hemus hit a two-run homer and Red Schoendienst got a twq-run pinch double highlighted the St. Louis victory. Enos Slaugh-( ter collected four straight hits. ■■■ ■-■— .• Democrat Want Ads Bring Results
