Major Leagues Meeting With Rickey, Shea CHICAGO (UPI) - The Continental League’s bid for recognition of baseball's third major league might explode today unless the newcomers can establish future plans solidly for the expansion committees of both the American and National leagues The two prime movers of Continental League, Branch Rickey, formerly the director of the St. Louis, Brooklyn and Pittsburgh teams in the National League, and Bill Shea, seeking more major league basebail for New York, meet with eight representatives from both leagues. Speaking for the National League will be Walter O’Malley. Los Angeles, John Galbreath, Pittsburgh, Lou Perini, Milwaukee, and Bob Carpenter, Philadelphia, while Hank Greenberg, Chicago, George Medinger, Cleveland, Joseph Iglehart. Baltimore, and Del Webb, New York, will represent the American League. Majors Suggest Meeting The meeting was suggested by the major leagues, obviously to force the Continental League to set its own time limit to begin operations or to clear the way for the major leagues, to expand. The American League long has been able to expand to 10 teams at any time and last month the National League voted to expand to 10 teams immediately, if the Coninental League is not ready to start. The Continental League has not yet complied with the 10 points outlined by the major leagues a year ago as necessary for recognition as a third major league. These established population standards for major league baseball, salary levels, player limits and also defined the indemnities to be paid to minor league teams whose territory is invaded. Reject Indemnites Offer The Continental League only two weeks ago offered indemnities to the American Association, which would lose five franchises should the Continental League begin, which were rejected. Other indemnity offers to minor leagues also have been turned down, or tabled. Today's meeting can take no formal action to recognize the Continental League as a major league, but the commitfees from the American and National leagues can recommend to the joint major leagues. It was likely that if Rickey and Shea can't give firm answers to major league questions today that the American and National league committees might recommend expansion of the two estblished leagues Should the present American and National leagues expand, it is probable they would accept four teams now on the roster of the Continental League, and such major league action probably would kill the Rickey-Shea group at least temporarily.

Utah Speed Racer Is Killed Monday BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS. Utah <UPl)—Utah speed racer Athol Graham will never realize his ambition to become the first American to drive 400 miles an hour. Graham, 36-year-old Salt Lake City»garageman, was killed Monday when his home-made car skidded and flipped over on Bonneville Salt Flats in western Utah. Graham was the first of four racers scheduled to attempt to set a new world land speed record at Bonneville this summer. Others to follow are Dr. Nathan Ostich of Los Angeles, Donald Campbell of London, and Mickey Thompson of Los Angeles. The Utah driver, operator of a garage in Salt Lake City, had hoped to surpass the world record of 394.19 miles per hour established by England's John Cobb in 1947. The twisted wreckage of Graham's $2500 home-made racer was returned from the salt flats to Salt Lake City today. Although no official cause of the mishap was listed, observers blamed the accident on too much power and acceleration for the weight of the racer. ' - Graham’s pretty wife, Zeldine, was at the finish line, waiting for her husband to complete his first run. She flew with him to the hospital, where normally she is employed as a registered nurse. They have tour small children — three girls and a boy.

Single All-Star Game May Return NEW YORK (UPI) — Major league players were- in accord today for staging a second All-Star game next season, but the feeling predominated for a return to the old single game plan beginning in 1962. Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick granted permission Monday for a second '‘pension-fund game” in 1961 because the 400-odd players on the 16 big league clubs voted‘its approval by a 6-1 margin. Frick said, however, that a ’’new and increased TV contract in 1962” should eliminate the need for a second game. The players have used the proceeds from the second game to build their multi-million, dollar pension fund. The commissioner made it understood that club owners were heavily against the practice of continuing the two All-Star games. “But in view of the players’ overwhelming vote,” Frick said, "the 16 major league clubs have agreed to next season’s extra game with the understanding that consent is given for 1961 only and with the proviso that there shall be a lapse of one monh between games.” Frick said the first game will be played in San Francisco in July and the second in an eastern American League city in August. Boston or Washington will be the host for the second All-Star game because New York and Baltimore staged games within the last three years. This year, the National League swept both games, 5-3, and 64). The leagues split their' two-game series in 1959. I Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPI)-A surprising number of baseball men still refuse today to believe the Pittsburgh Pirate Cinderella story and they’ll give you three big reasons why the Los Angeles Dodgers again could wind up in the World Series. Somebody, they’ll tell you, could catch the Pirates with a late season run which would administer the Buc coup de grace. And, they say, the chance of the Braves looks slim because at a stop and go tendency. Which puts the spotlight on the Dodgers, who have advanced steadily from far back, and their three big reasons—namely Stan Williams, Don Drysdale and Frank Howard. They aren't kidding, at least, when they call them “big." Williams is 6 feet, 5 inches and 230 pounds. Drysdale is 6 feet, 6 and 220 pounds, and "Hercules” Howard is 6 feet, 7 inches and 250 pounds. Big In Production And they’re just as big in the production department as the Dodgers threaten to fashion just another such late run as won it las season. The 23-yeqr-old Williams, with a record of 11 wins against two losses, has become the ace of the staff simply by throwing bullets. He is, actually, the forgotten man of the Dodgers’ 1959 pennant victory because it was the Enfield rifle who won the second'playoff game against the Braves by pitching three hitless innings. With the irascible Drysdale he gives the Dodgers a fearfully potent one-two pitching punch which could be the deciding factor in the final drive. Drysdale, having won six in a row, has bounced back from a poor early season pace in which most of his troubles stemmed from a hatred of that short left field screen. If he controls his temper the Dodgers well could talje control of the National League siuation. Howard Called Superman Howard is the third big man and has enough muscles to almost carry the whole ball club, literally. Down in the Caribbean League the youngsters used to chase after him with awed adulation. They called him "Superman.” They get bitter support these days from the pitchers against whom the big boy from Ohio State is swating tape measure home runs. Whether the Dodgers win it or lose it, there is small question but what Howard has established himself as baseball's all time man of muscle. You can get an argument, particularly in Pittsburgh, as to whether the Pirates will drop the ball as they did in 1938. Milwaukee masterminds will tell you, too, that they’ll still mount the sustained drive necessary to take it all. But from the manner in which the Dodgers have peen moving, you have to watch them carefully. Them and their big three.

Orioles Back In Contention In Flag Race By GARY KALE United Press International The Baltimore Orioles are back in contention in the American League race — and they owe their latest resurgence to Milt Papas, who loves to beat the defending champion White Sox. Baltimore closed to within three games of first place Chicago Monday night as Pappas beat Al Lopez’ crew for the third straight time this .season, 2-1. Pappas, who suffered a arm earlier in the- season, has consistently strong-a rm e d the White Sox, has an earned run average of 1.00 for his 27 innings work against Chicago this year. Gene Woodling, who has batted .313 against Chicago pitching this season, delivered the winning run in the seventh inning when his pinch single stored Ron Hansen from second base. Hansen- was credited with a double when Minnie Minoso misjudged his fly bell in left field. Orioles Open Scoring Baltimore opened the scoring with a run in the first inning on Jackie Brandt's single, a sacrifice and the first of Wait Dropo's two singles in the. game. Chicago tied it in the third as Gene Freese, Al Smith and Nellie Fox singled for three of the six hits issued by Pappas over the first tour innings. The Baltimore right hander struck but nine and did not walk a man as he won his ninth game of the season. He now has beaten Chicago in six of seven career decisions. The New York Yankees moved to within a half game of Chicago by edging the Detroit Tigers, 3-2, Jim Perry five-hit the Washington Senators as the Cleveland Indians won, 3-0, and the Kansas City Athletics took 10 innings to defeat the Boston Red Sox, 8-6, in other American League games. National League Idle There were no games scheduled in the National League. Southpaw Luis Arroyo allowed his first two hits in four appearances as the Yankees’ new relief ace while preserving -Ralph Terry’s fifth victory. He took over in the seventh inning and hurled shutout ball the rest of the The Yankees won the game with a two-rpn sixth off loser Pete Burnside, with Hector Lopez and John Blanchard contributing key singles. Al Kaline hit his 10th homer of the season for the Tigers and Eddie Yost equalled Pie Traynor’s major league record for third basemen by appearing in his 1,864th game. Jim Perry won his 12th game of the year and fourth straight over Washington, including his third shutout at the Senators' expense. Bubba Phillips drove in the first two Cleveland runs in the second inning with a single and Mike De La Hoz batted in the other with a sixth inning hit. Hal Woodeshick absorbed his fourth setback. A pair of 10th inning doubles by Jerry Lumpe and Hank Bauer allowed Kansas City to even its season series wtih the Red Sox at 7-all, after both teams had scored twice in the ninth frame. Pete Daley and Russ Snyder each hit his third homer of the season for the A’s. Daley’s was a threerun blast in the second inning. Marty Kutyna, who took over in the eighth, won his third game in five decisions. Hartke Continuing Wabash River Tour WASHINGTON, Ind. (UPI) — Vance Hartke (D-Ind.) continued has five-day tour of the Wabash River Valley today by telling a group’ of Huntington resident* that more money must be spent in flood control in the valley. He described the Wabash River as “Indiana’s richest potential” and said that lack of adequate flopd control is costing Hoosier farmers and businessmen million* of dollars each year in washedout fields and other property damage. Hartke was at Marion Monday, where he issued a series of prepared statements which dealt with Such matters as flood control, medical care, foreign trade and industrial growth. He told the Marion Chamber of Commerce that his plan to establish a Wabash River Development Commission to coordimde the forts at local groups would save a lot of money and duplication of effort. He also said Congress should approve a federal program which would provide medical care to retired persons. The Evansville Democrat quoted Secretary of Health. Education and Welfare Arthur Fleming as saying a program should be adopted now, zx&ln some either year. "This Is not socialism, this is not regimentation, this is humanitarianism,” Hartke said. "This is the American way and It is a pay a* you go plan.**

The Soviet Union Monday indicated it woud boycott such a meeting, which Chairman Luis Padilla Nervo of Mexico had tentatively set for Aug. 15. Soviet Ambassador Arkady Sobolev suggested instead that Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold invite heads of government to the forthcoming General Assembly session which begins Sept. 20 so they could discuss disarmament and “other important political issues." Sobolev’s note sent many delegates scurrying to wire home for instructions from their governments. If the nine-member Communist bloc refuses to attend a disarmament commission meeting it is likely a numer of ‘.‘neutralist’’ Afro-Asian nations also would stay away.

Two Security Employes On Missing List WASHINGTON (UPI) — Two missing employes of the supersecret National Security Agency are believed to be in Havana, Cuba, authoritative sources said today. The two mathematicians who left Washington about five weeks ago, flew to M ex ic° Citv on June 85 and there made airline reservations for Havana, the sources said. They said it was considered certain that the men, both of whom had- access to secret material, actually went to Havana. Close-mouthed federal officials would give no indication how warm the trail was or what theories they had to explain why the bachelor Navy veterans dropped out of sight more than five weeks ago. The Pentagon identified the men as Bernon F. Mitchell, 31, of Eureka, Calif., and William H. Martin, 29. of Ellensburg, Wash. Both lived in Laurel, Md., near the Ft. Meade headquarters of the security agency. Both men were subjected to an intensive security check before they were hired, a Pentagon spokesman said. Both were cleaned for access to certain secret material, he added. Mystery Shrowds Agency A cloud of mystery hangs over the eight-year-old National Security Agency. It' is known to perform highly specialized technical activities related to national security. s Mitchell and Martin left the agency June 24 ostensibly to visit their homes. They were due back between July 11 and July 18. when the Defense Department could not find them by last weekend, it called in the FBI and Maryland police. The department said airline records disclosed the pair booked passage to Mexico City June 25. “Indications are they went there,” a spokesman said. father, Emery Sr., an attorney, said in Eurkea that he had been informed the men- might have flown to-Mexico City. But he* was unable to recall how he learned this. No Word From Son Martin’s father, John H., said in Ellensburg that he had neither seen his s< nor heard from him recently. Informed sources said Mitchell and Martin had not notified the security agency they intended to leave the country. It is normal practice for employes of such agencies to give this notification. PTA Auction Sole Saturday, Aug. 13 The Lincoln and Northwest PTA will hold an auction August 13 with students from the Reppert school of auctioneering presenting the artides, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Feasel and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Stapleton. co-chairmen of the auction committee, said today. Merchants are asked to save any material that they are willing to donate for the auction to raise money for equipment needed by the PTA. The articles will be marked, and the public will have a chance to look over the items before the auction begins. School Committee To Meet Again Wednesday The school reorganization committee met until after midnight Monday and recessed the meeting until Wednesday evening, at which time they will make their final choice of school units plans. The committee will choose the number of districts, the number of* School board members, on each board, the district boundaries, and the methods of election or selection. - • , The committee accomplished a great deal Monday night, but wishes to announce all the plans at one meeting Wednesday. Weekend's Traffic Toll Now Seven GARY, Ind. (UPI) — Edmund Michael, 68, Schererville, died in St. Margaret’s Hospital here Monday of injuries sustained Saturday in a traffic accident on U.S. 30 near Gary. It was the seventh reported traffic death during the weekend. Authorities said the crash occurred when the auto containing Michael missed a stop sign at the junction of a county road and U.S. 30.

Russian Cali Seen I Propaganda Play WASHINGTON (UPD—U.S. officials were inclined today to dismiss Russia’s call for a new summit conference in the United Nations as ,a propaganda play rather than an indication Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev likes Ike after all. But the officials were jumping to no conclusions about the Soviet proposal for a heads of government conference on disarmament and “other important political issues” at the <U.N. General Assembly session Sept. 20. Whatever Khrushchev’s motives, officials here conceded the new Soviet summit request was an attention-getting cold war gambit — Secretary of State Christian A Herter said he had not heard of the Russian proposal when he returned Monday night from a National Security Council meeting at the summer White House in Newport, R.I. “IT have tlo think about that,” he said when told of the proposal by reporters. The Russians made their surprise suggestion Monday in a letter from Soviet U.N. Ambassador Arkady Sobolev to Luis Padilla Nervo of Mexico, chairman of the 82-nation U.N. Disarmament Commission. The move came as a shock because ever since the Paris summit conference collapse, Khrushchev has vilified President Eisenhower and indicated he would not meet with an American cfajef executive until a was elected. Murray Agrees To Government Order WASHINGTON (UPI) — Arthur Murray Inc. has agreed to a government order barring it from making bonus offers to lure “the innocent” into sig: ring up for dance lessons, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced today. The FTC issued a complaint against the company, Kathryn and Arthur Murray and another official last March, charging them with using a Variety of deceptive false techniques to attract “the innocent, unwary, and unsuspecting” into its studios. Arthur Murray Inc. operates its own dance schools in New York City and Miami and licenses 450 studios under its name throughout the United States and abroad. Among the advertising practices banned under the consent agreement announced today were telephone quizzes, crossword and zodiac puzzles and dizzy dance and “lucky buck” contests in which the winners were promised dance lessons as prizes. The FTC charged that the contests were too simple to be bona fide. It said they were designed to attract customers who then were “coerced” into signing up for further instructions.
