Spahn, Pafko Lead Braves To Win Over Bosox By UNITED PRESS Southpaw Warren Spahn and veteran outfielder Andy Pafko were held chiefly responsible today for a perceptible quickening of Milwaukee's throbbing pennant pulse. On view before Milwaukee’shome town fans for the first time this year, Spahn and Pafko teamed up brilliantly Friday to earn the : Braves a 3-1 triumph over the Bos- | ton Red Sox. Spahn, oblivious to the brisk 46-I degree temperature that kept the County Stadium crowd down to 6.074. went the full distance, allowing only seven scattered hits and striking Out four. He held the Red Sox scoreless until the ninth •when Jim Piersail doubled, took third on Jackie Jensen's single and came across on George Kell's sacrifice fly. The 3.3-year-old Pafko put the Braves ahead when he hit the first ball pitched to him for a homer in the second inning. He also singled in the fourth and subsequently scored on Del Crandall’s single. Bill Henry, who yielded all of the Braves’ eight hits in the seven innings he worked, suffered the loss. Like the Braves, the Dodgers also came home on a winning note as they pounded veteran Allie ‘Reynolds of the Yankees for three homers and an 8-2 victory before S,ff66 fans at Ebbets Field. It was Brooklyn's fourth conquest in six spring meetings with the world champions.

Paolo Rosi Stops Compo In Sixth NEW YORK, UP — Paolo Rosi comes from Rieti, Italy, and still speaks broken English but his dynamic right hand —which accounted for his 22nd knockout in 26 pro bouts Friday night — was interpreted today as a definite threat for the world lightweight title. Rosi used that lethal right hand to stop veteran Eddie Compo of New Haven, Conn., in 54 seconds of the sixth round in a televised and broadcast fight at St. Nicholas Arena. “What a puncher! . ...this boy is really good, marveled world featherweight champion Sandy Saddler, who was among the ringside spectators. The vanquished Compo, his left eye swollen and purplish after the battle, muttered: "He ought to do all right. He sure hits hard enough. He has improved since the first time I fought him.” —— Saddler’s unbridled enthusiasm could be discounted partially inasmuch as the slender, semi-bald Rosi is his stablemate, but Compo, who has fought the .best of them, including Willie Pep, had no reason to be prejudiced. Compo lost a split decision to 'Rosi at .Madison Square (Arden last Dec. 13. It was the only otie of six fight s Rosi has engaged m since coming to the U.S. that he failed to register a knockout. Rosi won all 39 of his amateur fights in Ithly and he has suffered only one setback, a split decision, during his career. Rosi, whose home town in Italy was almost bombed off the map during World War 11, now plans to live permanently in this country. The promoters of Friday night's bout were so pleased with his efforts that they immediately matched him to fight Orlando Zulueta of Havana, Cuba, April 30. Zulueta is the fourth-ranking lightweight and if Rosi gets past him, he’ll be moving up to the division's "front door." Off his showing Friday night, he’s a contender worth keeping an eye on. Rosi ' weighed 133% and Compo 133. “Scarce as hens’ teeth” applies to all birds, not just barnyard fowl. In birds, gizzards take the place of teeth for grinding food. The seed-eaters, such as chickens and canaries, also eat stones and gravel to help the grinding proExperience WINDSOR, Mases., UP — Herbert Packard, 82, a retired minister, is serving as preacher at the Congregational church here until a new pastor can be found. Recently he preached a 90-minute sermon without the aid of a single note. Blonde Unassessed EAST HAMPTON, Conn., UP — Tax Assessor William Morrissey received a post card bearing the picture of a beautiful blonde. On it was written, “How much is thispersonal property worth.” Morrissey said he couldn’t estimate. Fewer Failures NEW HAVEN, Conn., UP — The police licensing division reports that fewer stores are going out of business. Last year the city council passed an ordinance forbidding phony “last chance” sales. Police say there’s been a sharp drop in business failures.

Resolution Attacks Bishop Sheil Speech Legion Post Assails Attack On McCarthy CHICAGO, UP — The Catholic Youth Organization said today tnat telegrams and telephone calls had “poured in” supporting Bishop Bernard J. Shell’s attack on Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. Howover, there was no comment on Sheil’s harsh-worded attack on McCarthy from Samuel —Cardinal Stritch, archbishop of Chicago, or from any other members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Meanwhile the Chicago American Legion Naval Post No. 372 passed a resolution attacking Shell's speech to the international education conference of the CIO United Auto Workers union Friday. The resolution was offered by Phillip W. Collins, a member of the Chicago transit authority and a prominent Catholic layman... He said the resolution would be submitted to the first district of the state American Legion. The CYO, a nationally-known organization founded by Sheil, did not divulge how many messages tr had reeeived~~on the bishop’s speech or who they were from. Hbjvover, a CYO spokesman said the responses were running "about sv-’v” in Shejps favor . . Sheil’s speech was particularly noteworthy because he was the first high Catholic prelate to denounce McCarthy. McCarthy alos is a Catholic. Shell pictured the Wisconsin Republican as a headline - hunting "city slicker” whose investigative methods may .be serving the Communist cause, v The bishop spokeof “phony anti>Communism” a n u\qommented “phooey!” \ Sheil is the auxiliary bishop of Chicago and has long been known foi his outspoken views and liber- . al philosophy.

Patton Leads By Stroke In Masters Meet AUGUSTA, Ca. IIP — AmateuY Billy Jo Patton pinched himself today and found he was leading the formidable Ben Hogan by a stroke at the halfway point of the 18th Masters golf tournament. “It's sort of like a dream," said the 33-year old Morgantown, N. C.. lumber man who puts the wood to the ball as it has seldom been seen on the Augusta National course. “Everything seems to be going my way.” Patton added, “I have a feeling 1 rn lucky.” His luck, if that’s what it was, came after he had bogeyed the last two holes Friday to finish with a 74 and a par 144 for 36 holes. Then Hogan, with a chance to go a Mrftke ahead with pars, faltered on'the same two holes to remain a stroke back with 73 and 145. Patton thus shattered precedent on two points in the 18th playing of the high-test tournament founded by Bobby Jones. He is the first amateur to hold the lead through two rounds and it was the first time a par score stood up that far for the lead. But the issue was far from settled. Hogan, looking grim after he came in from a round played on a sodden, chilly course, WaS Obviously the one breathing down the bespectacled Patton’s neck. Lloyd Mangrum of Niles, 111., and Bob Rosburg of Chicago stood only a stroke farther back at 146. Twotime Masters ehampion Sam Snead, who zipped through the hack nine Friday in 34 for a 73, and Tommy Bolt of Houston, Tex., had 147’s. Still. Patton, who was averaging about 265 yards on His tee shots, was the story of the 1954 Masters at the 36-hole mark. He'overdrove a few greens but he never fell short of his playing partner, veteran Byron Nelson, who was a little amazed by it all. "On the fifth hole," Nelson said “I made tfy second shot with a No. 4 wood. Patton used ir six-iron with his hands widely spaced and outdrove me.” Veteran E. J. (Ditch) Harrison, who shared the opening day lead with Patton, shot a 79 on his second round and was down in the pack. Six players stood at 148, four strokes back of the leader. They were a pair of Grossingers, N. Y. entries, Al Besselink and Dave Douglas; Lew Worsham of Oakmont, Pa.: Chick'Harbert of Northville. Mich. Jack Burke Jr., Kiamesha Lake, N.

Power Os Bombs Leads To Hopes To Avert War

WASHINGTON UP — The men who shape America’s diplomatic and military policies believe there is a good chance that the world will never be subjected to the ultimate horror of H-bomb warfare. Or A-bombs either. Their hope is based on two things: 1. The very power of the ghastly new weapons. The fact -that both sides possess them could make the prospect of another world war more unlikely than ever before. 2. Even if the United States and Russia should some day get into hostilities, it is quite possible that H-bombs and A-bombs might be put on the shelf —by common consent —as poison gas and deathdealing germs were in World War 11. The logic in each case is that fear of retaliation is a mighty incentive for both sides to avoid nu-clear-warfare. The nation that first uses these bombs is very likely to be on the receiving end of the same the next day. Action has started anew in the United Nations toward talks on disarmament and nuclear energy between east and west. The United States and Russia are talking about peacetime uses of fissionable materials as a first step toward something bigger. Hope that H-bombs and A-bombs won't be used goes back to World War JI days although the United States did drop atomic bombs on Babe Zaharias Drops Out Os Tourney Lead NEW ORLEANS UP — Babe Zaharias shrugged oft her drop from first place in the $5,000 Colonial Women’s Open today with “I .had a bad day, that’s all" as she set out to make up a two-stroke deficit in the final 3G holes. Betty Jameson, San Antonio. Tex., shot a tw'o-under-par 73 Friday for a 146 total and a two-stroke lead over the Babe, who had led by one stroke over Miss Jameson and young Marlene Bauer of Sarasota, Fla., at the end of the first round. Miss Bauer moved to third today on a tw’o-over-par 77 for a 150 total. Minor Accident Is Reported By Police City police investigated a minor accident which occurred on South Second street Friday at about 11 a.m. A car owned and driven by Nolan G. Ginter, 22, of route twx>, failed to stop arid crashed into the rear of a ear owned and driven by Frank Fortney, 43, of route six.

the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The difference then was that Jjjpan, the only enemy, did not hffve comparable weapons to fight back. Both the Axis powers and the Allies in World War II had big stockpiles of poison and germs capable of killing by plague. Neither side opened Its deadly canisters, howevei, for fear of instant retaliation and the global psychological condemnation of such an act. Germs and gas were not used in the-Korean War either, despite Communist propaganda charges to. the contrary. Retaliation would not necessarily be at the front line of aggression. It could be unleashed at the source of trouble — Moscow, Peiping or another Red capital and its industrial centers, Speaking to the nation the other night, Mr. Eisenhower reminded the Russian leaders again of the conrsequenets of starting a war in the atomic age “in a fit of madness or through miscalculation.’’ The most sobering thing, he said, is the “retaliation that would certainly be visited upon them if they were to attack any of our nations or any part of our vital interests aggressively and in order to conquer u 8 all.” 'British prime minister Winston Churchill believes the recent American H-bomb tests in the Pacific “increased the chances of world peae more than thA chances of world war.” And perhaps most important of all. Russian Premier Georgi M. Malenkov lias told the Russian people-that a new war fought with modern weapons would mean the "destruction of world civilization.” His predecessors used to talk only . about the death of capitalism/ln * ML Stale Gardens Muldlebury, Ohip -?»Stalrtirijg.
