Security Demands Senators In Cellar

By HAMRY FERGUSON - United Press International k., WASHINGTON (UPI) — National security demands that the Washington Senators finish last in die American League every year. Relax. We’re over the hump for 1962. The last time Washington won a pennant was 1933 and that, of course, was the year Franklin D. Roosevelt closed all the banks and Adolf Hitler rose to power. Triumph for the Senators always means trouble for the nation. Fortunately, the owners of the 1933 Senators were patriotic men, and realizing the enormity of what they had done, they made amends by selling the winning manager, Joe Cronin, to the Boston Red Sox for $250,000. Members of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the federal government cannot function effectively with one ear glued to the radio to find out what is going to happen in the bottom of the ninth with two out and the bases loaded. If they are diverted by a winning ball team, Billie Sol Estes goes uninvestigated, President Kennedy has no time to tell business men he loves them and no Senator rushes to save the trusting male citizens of Calumet, 111., from the wiles of B-girls. First And Last This patriotic principle was laid down years ago: “Washington — first in war, first in peace and last in tht American League.” The founding fathers knew what they were doing. Does Khrushchev knock off work to follow the fortunes of a Moscow soccer team known as the dynamos? Is there a little league in Peiping? Is it not a historical fact that Molotov was banished because he was sneaking an occasional look at Mickey Mantle’s batting average? It is possible to reveal at this

late date the details of one Trf the nation’s darkest hours. The Griffith family, owner of the Washington Senators, suddenly found themselves with a fair ball team on their hands despite their patriotic efforts to have it otherwise. Congressmen suddenly had business at the ball park, play-by-play accounts began drowning out the hum of the computing machines at the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Drastic Step Whether it was the CIA or the FBI that came up with a solution is not clear at this writing, but a drastic step was taken just before the Senators started edging into first division. It was agreed to get the whole taem out of town and resettle it half way between Minneapolis and St. Paul. This was a bitter pill to Cal Griffith. It meant that his attendance would leap from about 500,000 a year to better than 1,000,000, that money would roll in, taxes go up and he would be compelled to hire additional accountants. He also would have to pay his railroad fare to Minneapolis and get a new house. Griffith looked duty squarely in the eye and did not shrink. He made the move and the nation is eternally in his debt. The new Washington Senators are owned by a syndicate of local men of vision, patriotism and the knowledge that they hold atomic power in their hands. The season is far from over, but it can be safely predicted that they will not allow their ball team to jeopardize national security. And what of the future? Fortunately, the Senators do not have much of a farm system and it is unlikely that a crop of rookies will emerge suddenly and start committing such subversive acts as pitching two-hit games and knocking in 120 runs a season.

Doug Ford Winner - In Eastern Open BALTIMORE (UPI) — Doug Ford has a new inspiration for sticking on the pro golf tour. When asked how long he planned to stay on tour. Ford, winner of the Eastern Open here Sunday, replied: “You can bet I won’t be quitting right away. I’ve got a youngster I’m anxious to see. lit action out here.” The 39 year old New Yorker, one of the all-time leading money winners in pro golf, added, “My son is seventeen I think he’s got what it takes. Cm going home to pick him up right now. “After the Western Open in Chicago, I’m going to let him enter a few tournaments.' The Buick Open (July 5-6) will be hfe first start.” Doug, Jr., will have a lot to live up to. When Doug Sr. won the Eastern Open here with a front-running victory Sunday, it put him back among the top 10 money winners this year with a $21,431.98 total. Ford has been on the top 10 money winning list in 10 of the past 11 years. His lone miss in this span was last year when he finished 12th. Doug, who admitted, “I kindabacked into winning” the Eastern Open, needed nothing better than a closing par 72 to take the top check of $5,300. He led after every round, scoring 69-65-73-72 — 279. Bob Goalby finished second, a stroke behind. Hoosier All-Stars Beaten By Kentucky INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — What they say about the home court in basketball being worth anywhere from 4 to 10 points apparently does not apply to the IndianaKentucky High School All-Star series. The Hoosiers were upset before

nearly 15,000 fans at Butler Fieldhouse Saturday night, 70-08, marking the third consecutive year that neither team was able to win at home. The week before at Louisville, Indiana pulled out an 88-82 victory. Dave Cosby was Kentucky’s man of the hour Saturday night, swishing Through a one-hander from the side with four t seconds left to give Kentucky the victory. The series, however, stands 21-8 in Indiana’s favor. Indiana was favored to win at home on the strength of its victory at Louisville the week befbre. “ Indiana had a 12-point lead at the half, but Kentucky’s deliberate offense fouled the Hoosier passing and led to the home team’s downfall. The Hoosier collapse came after a jump shot by Kentucky’s Paul Long, putting the score at 55-54 after Indiana's half-time advantage of 53-41. After that, the teams traded the lead until Cosby tied the game at 66-all with five minutes left. Indiana went ahead again on a jump shot by Jim Ligon, but Cosby went into action again and tied it at 68-68. Kentucky got back the ball, called time out and emerged with stragegy calling for Larry Conley to be passed the ball for the one decisive shot. Indiana players covered Conley, and the ball went instead to Cosby, and it was all over. Cosby led both teams in scoring with his 21 points. Larry Humes was tops for the Hoosier with 19, followed by Ligon with 15. Long led the boys from the Bluegrass State with 15 points and Conley had 14. Because of a ruling by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, no “star of stars” award was presented. The association ruled that a most valuable player award cannot be recognized as the conclusion of an all-star game. The award had been presented yearly since the start of the series in 1939. It was won by Conley in last week’s game at Louisville, however.

AMA Opposes Medicare Plan

CHICAGO (UPD — Fifteen strong resolutions opposing the administration’s medicare program were presented to the opening session of American Medical Association’s House of Delegates today. — Delegations from 15 states threw resolutions condemning the ad-ministration-backed King - Anderson bill into the hopper at the start of the policy-making group’s With annual meeting. Almost an equal number of resolutions— 11 —were introduced opposing Society Security coverage for physicians. The resolutions were to be referred to committees and acted upon later during the AMA’s week long convention. There were no signs of a floor fight over medicare. Not a single resolution favoring the administration proposal for medical care of the aged to be financed through the social security system was introduced. Aimed At Socialism The strongest resolution, introduced by the Louisiana delegation, proposed that AMA members “will not participate in any programs of this type and that we as individuals pledge to give our help to others in their fight against socialism.” The Louisiana resolution added it “in no way implies that the members of the American Medical Association will at any time refuse to treat the aged—to the contrary—they will be treated regardless of financial return.” Other resolutions opposed to medicare were introduced by the delegations from Florida, Illinois, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma, Michigan, Montana, Kentucky, Idaho, Texas, California, Mississippi, Washington and Minnesota. States which went on record against Social Security coverage for doctors were Illinois, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma, Idaho, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Minnesota, Montana and Michigan. Two state delegations — New York and Pennsylvania — were in favor of social security for physicians. Although there appeared little dissension in the AMA rai&s over the medical world’s opposition to the medicare program, a struggle was considered possible over the issues of fee splitting jmd internal discipline within the organization. AMA spokesmen said 9 of every 10 of the association’s 189,000 members backed the organization’s i stand against medicare through Social Security. “The House of Delegates has repeatedSociety The Order of Eastern Star will meet Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Masonic hall. Mrs. Richard J. Moser of Berne, deputy of district 14, will be a guest of the chapter. The Faithful Workers Sunday school class of the Union Chapel church will meet in the church basement Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. The Monroe WCTU will meet Thursday at 10 a.m. at the home of Mrs. Homer Winteregg. Each lady is to bring a sandwich and a covered dish. They will make flower bouquets for patients at the Berne nursing home. Correction The name of Mrs. Cecil Haney was unintentionally omitted from the list of new officers installed recently for the Women of the Moose. Mrs. Haney has taken over the office of junior regent of the group. BIRTH A son has been born at the Jay county hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Hildren Williams, of Geneva. Lowell and Marlene Wiseman Engle, of Churubusco, are the parents of a baby boy bom at the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne Saturday. The infant weighed eight pounds and eight ounces and has been named Gregory James- Mrs. James C. Bolt of route five, Decatur, is the paternal grandmother. At the Adams county memorial hospital: Gerald and Mercella Walters Springer of route three, Decatur, are the parents of a baby girl bom Saturday at 10:27 p.m. The baby weighed seven pounds and six ounces. A baby boy weighing nine pounds and four ounces was born Sunday at 4:58 a.m. to Daniel and Betty Arend Miller of route two, Monroeville. New Haven Residents Face Water Shortage NEW HAVEN, Ind. (UP!) - About 6,000 residents of this town today faced a water shortage after a breakdown of one of the

ly through the years, voted the same way.” an AMA official said. However, an opposition group, the “Physicians Committee for Health Care for the Aged through Social Seenrity,” planned to be on hand and if the subject of medicare arose, a representative of the dissenters planned to testify at committee sessions. Got Underway Sunday The week-long meeting actually got underway Sunday at the McCormick Place convention hall when 400 scientific exhibits were opened to the 15,000 doctors expected to attend the meetings. The medicare issue got its first airing of the meetings Sunday, away from the main area, when AMA spokesman Dr. Edward R. Annis, of Miami, Fla., ruled out any compromise which might include Social Security financing. Annis appeared on a network television interview show (Meet The Press). Annis called the Kennedy administration medicare bill “government medicine.” He said, “this is fundamental and on this there can be no compromise.” The internal discipline issde could proye the hottest of the delegates’ meetings. The AMA wants authority to step in when local societies cannot or will not act to discipline members. A similar proposal was defeated last year. Urges Party Alignment A subsidiary session Sunday, the first general meeting of the American Medical Political Action Committee, formed last July to mobilize the nation’s 263,000 physicians for politics, heard an appeal from former Democratic national chairman Stephen A. Mitchell to “put aside as nonsense the shibboleth of independence and nonpartisanship. Direct your effort in or alongside a party.” Dr. Frank C. Coldman, of Des Moines, lowa, an AMPAC director, said Mitchell’s plea “is one piece of advice that we will not accept.” The AMA apparently already scented victory in the medicare battle. C. Joseph Stetler, legal and socio-economic director of the AMA, told the 300 doctors at the AMPAC meeting that the House of Representatives would probably defeat tjie King-Anderson bill even if it should pass the U.S. Senate. LOCALS Mrs. Joe Yaste, formerly of I Decatur, is a surgical patient at the Presbyterian St. Lukes hospital, 1700 West Congress Parkway, Chicago, Hl. Her room number is 552. Mrs. Yaste will be confined for about six weeks and would enjoy hearing from her friends in Decatur.

Hill, who set a lap record of 3:57.3 on the 30th lap, said that although this race didn’t count for the world driving championship, it gave him “additional confidence” for still another victory. Os the 55 cars which started only 18 finished. The French teahi of Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet was second, five laps behind the winners. They drove a Ferrari, as did Louis, Dreys of France and Jean Buerlys of Belgium, who were third.
