Ted Husing Doubts Comeback Possible PASADENA, Calif. UPD—“You have no idea what a wonderful place the world is when you can see it and how horrible it is when you can’t see it.” That’s the way Ted Husing sums up his misfortunes. He was one of radio's best known and best paid voice? before a brain tumor crippled him aind took away his sight and fortune. Husing, now 56. sat, as he spoke, in a chair in the living room of his mother's modest Pasadena cottage, an Afghan around his legs and a cane by his side. Has Doubts About Coineback I He has taped two interviews—with sportscaster Tom Harmon and boxer Maxie Rosenbloom—for a series entitled “Ted Husing Reminisces" but he is not particularly hopeful about his comeback. The voice is there — the resonant voice which in dramatic style related most of the great moments in sports more than a generation ago — but he admits himself the spirit is weak. In the fight within himself. Husing conceded he may not be all washed up, and he has not lost his sense of humor. Hasn't Lost Religion “I'm my own best critic,” he continued, “and I want to rise above the difficulties of my illness but sometimes I wonder. Husing hastened to add that he hasn’t lost faith in himself com(pletely. I “I am terribly religious," he said, “and this was not occa- ■ sioried by my illness. I always went to church before my programs and prayed for help." He isn’t bitter at the world and he isn't critical those around him. ' . ... Os his abortive comeback at1 tempt early this year when he went to New York and was placed on a 150 a week retainer by Co-1 lumbia Broadcasting System, he: said: ■ “It was all a mistake. I wasntl j ready. It was nobody’s fault. ’ I |,; .

Braves Defeat Cubs To Add To Loop Lead - By FRED DOWN United Press International The Milwaukee B raves, who weren’t hurt while they marked time for a month, appear to be making a big move to crack open the National League race. Only 13-14 from May 10 to June 10, the Braves reeled off their fifth victory in six games Tuesday n ight when they beat the Chicago Cubs, 6-3, and went 2% games ahead of the fading San Francisco Giants. With 20 more games at home before they hit the road again, the defending world champions suddenly ha ve stepped into a spot to to take command of the race. And perhaps it’s np coincidence, that Lew Burdette, the World Series hero who discovered the rubber chicken circuit can be tougher than pitching against the New York Yankees, went the distance for the win. It was Burdettes fifth win of the year and his first since May 22. The Giants, dropping fast after their early-season heroics, were beaten, 6-1, by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the St. Louis Cardinals topped the Cincinnati Redlegs, 10-4, with six runs in the ninth inning and the Philadelphia Philadelphia Phillies downed the Los. Angeles Dodgers. 9-6, in other NL games. Yanks Win In the American League, the . New York Yankees snapped their four-game losing streak as Whitey Ford beat the Cleveland Indians, . 4-0. the Detroit Tigers made it : seven of eight under Bill Norman ■ with a 9-2 triumph over the Washington Senators, The Chicago White Sox downed the Boston I Red Sox, 4-0, and the Baltimore Orioles scored a 4-1 victory over the Kansas City A’s. Burdette was tagged .for nine hits and in trouble most of the ! way but the Braves ran up an dearly lead as Frank Torre, Harry J Heribrink and Johnny Logan : knocked in two run seach. The (defeat went to Moe Drabowsky, (who lost his fourth straight decision of the season to the world I champions. Triples by Ted Kluszewski, Ro- ■ man Mejias and Bill Vird on (sparked a five-run second-inning : rally that carried the Pirates to ' their sixth win in nine games.

The Phillies staged a six-run rally in the eighth inning to hand relief ace Clem Labine his second loss and return Jack Sanford the winner although Dick Farrell pitched the ninth. Ford restored the Yankees lead to eight games as he won his I seventh straight decision and ! eighth of the year with the help of a three-run homer by Bill Skowron.

Jimmy Foxx Happy Al Baseball Return MINNEAPOLIS UPP)—Jimmy Foxx, the hall of fame member the Boston Red Sox hired last winter, is happy as a rookie with his job with the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association. Foxx, 50, has been under a doctor’s care the past few weeks with '“fluctuating blood pressure.” “It’s not being back in uniform, though, that's raising the pressure, it’s hereditary,” he said. “I couldn’t be happier with my work." And his bosses are well-pleased with the famous slugger in his new role as hitting coach and goodwill man for the Millers, the Red Sox’ Triple-A farm club. Foxx was invited to join the organization after it was learned he was out of a job and nearly destitute. “After the story about my financial problems I got a few job offers. Maybe I could be making more money," he said, “but just being back in baseball is good enough for me.” Foxx, who made a small fortune in his 22 years in baseball and lost it on bad business ventures, is credited with a large part of the Miller’s success so far this season. With a team the experts pegged for the second division, x Foxx and managei; Gene Mauch have kept the club on theupper rungs of the league’s ladder all spring. "Jimmy’s a great guy and is doing a marvelous job,” Mauch said. “All the players like him, and his tips about hitting have helped. Just having Jimmy Foxx in the same clubhouse means a lot to a ball club.” Decatur VFW Team Defeated By Berne The Decatur VFW team was defeated by Berne, 4-2, in a Vim rural softball league game at Hoagland Tuesday night.

No Progress Made On Freeing Americans Negotiations Break Down Over Release BERLIN (UPD — Negotiations broke down today between U.S. Army officers and East German officials over the release of nine American servicemen held by the East German Communists. The'nine men have been held by the Reds since June when their helicopter accidentally crossed the Iron Curtain frontier and was forced down in East German territory. The Soviet Union disclaimed all responsibility and said the United States must negotiate directly with the East Germans. But the latter have attempted to use such talks as blackmail to obtain diplomatic recognition in fact as a condition for release of the men. U.S. Army negotiators spent 53 minutes this morning at the East German Foreign Ministry in East Berlin. Afterwards, a U.S. spokesman said the talks were “unsuccessful." No further meetings were scheduled, — a Today’s unsuccessful meeting increased U.S. fears that the nine servicemen would be held a long time. The United States refused to accent a Communist - drafted agreement outlining terms for release of the captives. The terms were said to stress East German sovereignty and diplomatic equality with the United States —a condition which the United States does not accept since it does not recognize the East German regime as a valid government.

Court Action May Ruin Handley Bid Court Battle Looms On Race Legality INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —Governor Handley faced the possibility today of losing his run for the U. S. Senate in the courts. A "friendly” suit was turned into an unfriendly battle Tuesday and the earliest Handley can exoect a decision on the legality of his race is two days before the convention which was expected to nominate him opens. Marion Superior Judge John M. Ryan set June 25 for a hearing on the question of whether a suit filed by a Handley backer will be open to attorneys for anti-Hand-ley forces. The same day, Ryan said he would open the hearing. Robert S. Smith, an attorney for Handley, tried to get Ryan to dismiss the case as “strictly a Reoublican matter” when anti-Hand-ley forces introduced a petition signed by 33 delegates to the GOP convention June '27. When Ryan denied Smith’s motion, the governor’s attorney said he would ask the Indiana Supreme Court to take the case from Ryan. The suit was filed by Lethal Sanders. Indianapolis. Sanders said he wants to vote for Handley for the Republican nomination for U. S. Senator as a delegate to the convention. The suit was meant to pave the way for Handley’s nomination now and election in November backing up an opinion of Atty. Gen. Edwin Steers. Steers said a provision in the Indiana Constitution forbidding a governor to run for another office during his term is superceded by the U. S. Constitution which sets the standards for a senator. But the anti-Handley forces which their own candidates for the GOP nomination contend the governor’s’nomination would be illegal and apparently are preoared to fight to have Handley’s name stricken from the ballot if he is nominated. Smith asked for a delay in a hearing on whether the anti-Hand-ley attorneys would be allowed to □resent evidence. Smith said he did not believe all 33 signers of the petition actually did sign it. He said he talked to one of the octitioners, John C. Ruckelshaus of Indianapolis, this week and Ruckelshaus said he would take no part in the suit. Attorney James Tracy asked to intervene for the 33 delegates. Tracy said the petition was preoared by Paul W. Kelly, an Anderson attorney. The injunction suit asked for a court order stopping Handley from being nominated and also to stop him from seeking the seat after the convention. • * .

Warn Mideast U.S. Is Ready To Take Action Troublemakers In Mideast Are Served Notice U.S. Ready WASHINGTON (UPD—Mideast troublemakers were on notice today the United States is prepared to take swift military action in Lebanon if the United Nations is unable to preserve the independence of that revolt-torn country. American officials emphasized the hope that presence of U.N. observers wil help restore order and prevent the infiltration of leaders and arms for the rebels from neighboring Syria, a part of the United Arab Republic UAR). But they made it clear the United States, with its powerful Sixth Fleet erasing in the eastern Mediterranean, will not sit idly by and watch the tides of chaos engulf the government of pro-Western Lebanese President Camille Chamoun. Disclosure of the firm American position came after Secretary' of State John Foster Dulles told a news conference Tuesday there were “possible contingencies” in which U.S. Marines would be sent into Kebanon apart from any U.N. action. Dulles said he was “aware of the fact' that the Sixth Fleet has elements close to Lebanon with Marines aboard who could “if need be, respond to appropriate invitations.” Later in the day Dulles went to the Pentagon whereT he conferred with Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy. Authoritative sources, interpreting Dullys remarks; said he intended to serve notice on UAR President Gamal Abdel Nasser and any others aiding the Lebanese rbels that the United States would act to preserve the integrity of Lebanon if it became apparent U.N. efforts were doomed to failure. Officials said any American action would have to be based on a direct appeal from Chamoun. accompanied by evidence the U.N. could not act fast enough to salvage the -situation. Given these conditions, the “contingencies” under which the United States would act would include 1) the necessity to rescue impeded American nationals andor 2) the need to prevent final domination of Lebanon by leftists.
