Says Yankees To Win Series In Six Gaines By JOHN BARRINGTON (I. N. 8. Sport* Editor) NEW YORK (INS) -All richl, let'a get it over with. I bought the Yankees last April to win the American League pennant, and I pick 'em now to take the World Series In six games. Don't forget, 1 also gave you the Cleveland Indians in four s raight this time last year. . . And Milwaukee to win this season's National League flag. . and . . . Reasons? You need reasons? Well, look at it this way: Catching- Brooklyn's Roy Campanella has a defensive edge on Yogi Berra of the Yanka and hit for 48 points more (418 te 472) in i the averages. But Yogi’s a rough man in the clutch and more dangerous than Roy at Yankee Stadium * where the homer range is short for a lefthanded hitter. Pitching—Despite the presence of 20 game winner Don Newcombe, the Yankees have a bit of a mound edge at present. Big Newt's won ! only two games in the past two months. Carl Erskine, Johnny Podres, Billy Loes and Karl Spooner have been in and out. Much may binge upon reliefers Don Bessent and Clam Labino. / Yanks’ staff has been Improving. Bob Grim, Don Larsen and Tommy Byrne have been particularly effective in the late season drive. If letfies Byrne and Whitey Ford oan escape with their lives and a couple of wins in the stadium. Grim, Ijarsen and Bob Turley should be.able to do the rest First Base — Must concede big edge to Brooklyn’s Gil Hodges over the Yanks’ two platooning Joe Collins and Moose Skowron. Second Base — Pretty much a tossup. Yankees* Billy Martin still

is rusty from bis two years in the army. He’s a proven "money” player, however, {remember the 1963 series?) Maybe Don Zimmer is, too, but this is his first series. Third Haae — Yankees’ Gil McDougald shades Jackie Robinson defensively, is a better hitter than Don Honk. Robinson, of course Is much the best of the three at the plate and on the baaes-and a helluva competitor. Shortstop—Pee Wee Reese by a mile over the Yanks’ Phil Rizsuto or Gerry Coleman, both offensively and defensively. Outfield—Mickey Mantle is the key. The Yanks will be seriously hobbled it he can't go at something approaching full steam. I’ll concede you Duke Snider, possibly the beat man on the field. He isn’t supposed to hit lefties, but he had great series against the Yanks in both 1962 and '53. The Duke however, doesn’t make up for the Dodgers' void in left whether Sandy Amoros, Gilliam or Robinson plays there. The Yanks are much better off with either Elston Howard or Irv Noren. In right, Hank Bauer and Carl Fnrtlio would rate about even, except that Furiilo may be below par with his severe bead cold. Still not convinced? Well, just add that the Yankees have a tar superior bench, a much more experienced manager, if not necessarily a better one, and, as the French say, that je ne sals quol. .*. Meaning, liberally translated: What the heck, they’re the Yankees. Attend Convention Os Welcome Wagon Mrs. Dan H. Tyndall, Welcome Wagon hostess, and Mrs. Robert Macklin, assistant, will attend the ninth annual state convention of Welcome Wagon service at Purdue University Thursday and Friday. Delegates from 95 Indiana cities win attend, also many affiliated merchants. The service originated in Memphis, Tenn., in 1928, and was started in Indianapolis the following year.

Artificial Light Use Recommended Increase Yields From Winter Eggs •WASHINGTON (INS) — Specialists in the agriculture department advised poultrymen today to i investigate the possibility of in- ■ creasing their winter egg yields by use of artificial light. When properly installed and usied,.electric.,light* in poultir hons■l es can boost autumn arid winter egg production by as much as 20 to 30 per cent. It was pointed out that since the price of eggs usually goes up during this period the extra production is ”Importarit’' to a ‘profitable egg business. Poultrymen who have used this in past years are practlcalHFunanimous on one point; Good management practices -must be carried out if the lights are to be effective. •. The department Said that county agents usually can help inexperienced persons plan a new or Im- ! proved lighting system for their 1 henhouses. Generally, however, here is the way it operates: The lighting system should be used every day, from early fall through late spring. Exact dates vary across the country. The important point is that unless the lights are used ■ regularly the hens may moult and interrupt ! egg production. | Thirteen to 14 hours of light : each day should be provided by supplementing daylight with as I much electric light as is needed. The extra light can be used before sunrise or after sunset. i On most days only morning lights may be needed. If evening lights are used, however, they should be dimmed for a few minutes before they are turned off, so tpie hens can find their way to the perches. Forty watt bulbs should be used, and one bulb will provide enough light for each 200 square feet of floor space. Direct light should be distributed evenly over the feeding area, with some direct light hitting the perches to bring the hens off the roost.

Iron Curtain Will Be Leading Target Principal Target In Geneva Talks WASHINGTON (INS). — The Iron Curtain will be the prime target of the free world in the Geneva talks which begin with the Russians a month from today. That ia the one task on which western diplomats think reasonable progress can he made now. The Big Four foreign ministers appear headed for stalemate on the other two tasks: To reunify Germany and arrange a European security pact, and to work on a disarmament plan. In Western eyes the first step towards ending the cold war is to break down the Iron Curtain which had divided East and West so sharply for a decade. This, if accomplished, would be many benefits for the west, along with some dangers. The chief danger would be that it would help the Russians lull the west into a false sense of security, if that is what the Communists want to do. High among the benefits to the West would be the opportunity to reach the minds of the enslaved peoples in the eastern European satellites.

Seek Federal Aid For Toll Bridge Indiana, Kentucky Officials To Capital INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —Emissaries from Indiana and Kentucky headed for the nation’s capital today in an effort to find out how much federal money will be made available for an Ohio river toll bridge between New Albany, Ind., and Louisville, ky. Highway officials of the two states reportedly reached an understanding about construction of the bridge in an Indianapolis meeting Monday, but no details were announced. Gov. George N. Craig had expressed hopes that the bridge, expected to cost sl2 mfftion, not counting approaches, could be included in the interstate highway system. Such inclusion would meaqp that possibly 60 per cent of the cost would be paid by federal funds. Harry T. Ice, bond counsel for Indiana, and Arhur Grafton, of Louisville, who bolds the same post for Kentucky, yere to t 0 Washington today. If\ they obtain clarification on the eiteht to which federal authorities will participate in the bride construction, then the Indiana-Kentucky contract will be reviewed by representatives of the two governors. Craig has opined, however, that even if the bridge is not declared part of the interstate highway system, Indiana residents would benefit to the extent that the state might carry out the toll project anyway. Reds Goofed CHICAGO (INS) — In their claims that everything from television to taffy are Communist inventions, the Russians apparently have overlooked automation and printed circuits. This embarrassing oversight came to light when the public relations department of Admiral Corporation received a request from the University of Belgrade, in Communist Yugoslavia, for the company’s color motion picture on automation. The request said the picture would be used in connection with courses in the university’s communications and electronics department.
