The 1954 schedule, released today, listed 215 night games. 10 less than were scheduled for 1953.

AFL Heads Call For Public Works Plan Says Nation Headed For Serious Trouble MIAMI BEACH, Fla., UP—Thexecutive council of the American Federation of Labor said Monday a current “recession” in the United States could result in “gravest repercussions throughout the free world” unless the federal government provides Teliet through public works. The council, at its annual midwinter meeting, charged that unemployment almost doubled during the last three months of 1953, from 1.200.000- to 2.359.000. AFL President George Meany said the nation was*headed SN “serious trouble” unless the government provides a public works program to combat an economic recession. ’ : rapid rise in unemployment during the last few months.” Meany said. "This trend cannot be ignor-1 ed by the government.” Thp AFL leader said he wrote President Eisenhower 10 months ago urging creation of a program to meet any rising unemployment and received in reply a Y§ry courteous letter but no specific plans. * KNOWLAND IN (Continued From Vane One) the clause.

Bobby Thomson Sold By Giants To Milwaukee ; XEW YORK UP — Robby Thomson was called the answer ft> Milwaukee’s pennant prayers today, while Braves’ officials shrugged off any suggestion that the Giants may , have out-slicked them for the second time in four years by acquiring pitchers Johnny Antonelli and Don Liddle. The entire Milwaukee front office took on a World Series’ atmosphere when the deal was finally consummated late Monday. “We can really >make plans for a pennant now." declared Donald Davidson, the Braves' public relations director. “Thomson beat the Dodgers for the pennant once und he may be able to do it again.’’ While the Braves were celebrating the arrival of the 30-year old Thomson, whose dramatic homer , against the Dodgers in the 1951 playoff won the pennant for the Giants, the Giants, themselves, were elated over the sorely-needed help to their pitching staff. it marked the Giants’ biggest deal since 1950 when they turned over Sid Gordon, Willard Marshall, Buddy and Sam Webb to the Braves for shortstop Al Dark and Stanky were instrumental in New York’s pennant push of 1951 and the general consensus was that the Braves were outmaneuvered in that {leal. „ “We simply had to have pitching help,” said Giant owner Horace Stonehame while expressing deep regret over Thomson’s departure from New York. In the 23-year old Antonelli, who received a $75,000 bonus for signing“with the Braves in 1948, Stoneham said the Giants obtained "one of the best young pitchers in the National League.”

Although Antonelli, a slender fast-bailer. won only 12 games and lost the same number last season upon his return from the army, his earned run average of 3.19 was fifth best in the circuit. He struck out 131 batters and walked only 71 in 175 innings. •• The 25-year old Liddle, w’ho isn’t as quick as Antonelli but w’ho owns a better curve, won seven games and lost six as a * rookie with the Braves last year. Especially effective against the Giants, he jiad a 3 07 earned run average. Elsewhere in baseball, the White Sox signed infielders Nellie Fox Neil Berry and rookie Joe klrrene, makihg a total of 31 players unden contract t« them for 1954. The Cubs signed five players, pitchers Turk Lown. Jim Brosnan, John Pyecha and Don ' Watkins plus inflieder Chris Kitsos. white the Yankees signed outfielder Hank Bauer and pit ch er Steve Kral y. Cleveland sold veteran 29-year, old pitcher Lou Brissie to its IndiatTapolis farm team in the American Association, thereby reducing its roster to 42 players.

CALLS ON RED (Continued From Page One) ed States feels that it hag earned the right to shrug off, as foolish chatter,, the accusation that it now seeks to recreate the very force that has twice so cruelly hurt it. .‘‘Let this conference now get back to the problem of Germany and of how to welcome and nurture the desire of the new Germany to find for her energies a new outlet which, better thari, unbridled nationalism,"will splve the heeds of Germany, of Europe, and indeed of al Ithe world.” Reminding Molotov that his judgment has not always been infallible, Dulles said:“Mr. Molotov was wrong in October. 1939, when he condemned France and Britain as being aggressors and praised Hitlerlite Germany as- . being a peace-seeking country.". It might be, Dulles suggested, that Molotov is wrong again about the motives of the Western world. The Molotov plan, Dulles said, would require the Western powers to airccpt the Red East German government "as one of the principal organs whereby -the German problem is to be solved." the house. But George called this unsatisfactory. A pound of cotton has about 90,000,000 fibers. A bale of cotton has a gross weight of about 500 pounds.
