Belinsky Hurls Shutout For Six Innings By United Frees International It’s beginning to look like Bo Belinsky is almost as good a pitcher as he thinks he is. The Los Angeles Angel lefty—who has promised to curtail his off-the-field activities this year—has been the most effective pitcher of the exhibition season and 1 looks like an 18-to-20-game winner. Belinsky, who hurled a no-hit-ter among his 10 victories in 1962, combining in a five-hitter with six shutout innings Wednesday, has pitched 13 innings without Don Lee to give the Angels a 2-1 triumph over the Chicago Cubs and run their winning streak to six games. The Angel pitching staff has yielded the opposition more than two runs only twice in the last six fimes and boasts a magnificent 92 earned run average for the spring. Yanks Unleash Attack The New York Yankees broke out of their spring batting slump with a 27-hit attack that crushed the Washington Senators, 18-3. Roger Maris and Joe Pepitone homered for the Yankees. Johnny Edwards hit two homers and Wally Post hit one as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Minnesota Twins, 6-5. Edwards’ homers were his third and fourth of the spring. John Tsitouris, Ken Hunt and Jim Brosnan held the Twins, who have lost four straight games, to six hits. Tommy Davis, NL batting champion giving it the old fight in an experiment at third base, committed two more errors for a spring total of eight as the Los Angeles Dodgers bowed to the New York Mets, 4-3. Bill Skowron had a triple and a single for the Dodgers. Dave Nicholson’s two-run homer in the first inning sent the Chicago White Sox on their way to a j 7-5 win over the Philadelphia

Phillies. The White Sox took advantage of eight walks and made 15 hits. Clay Dalrymple led the Phillies’ attack with a single, a double and a homer. Hurls Two-Hitter Don Schwall pitched two-hit ball for five inning as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Detroit Tigers, 4-0, in a game halted by rain after the sixth inning. Schwall allowed only singles to Bubba Morton and Gus Triandos in his best showing of the spring. Roman Mejias and Dick Stuart hit homers off rookie Gordon Seyfreid to lead the Red Sox to a 5-2 decision over the Cleveland Indians. Ike Delock pitched six innings and yielded only one run. The St. Louis Cardinals dealt the Baltimore Orioles their first loss of the spring, 4-3, with the help of a homer and a game-saving catch by Curt Flood. Ray Washburn Stopped the Orioles on one run and three hits for five innings. It was the Orioles’ first loss in 11 exhibition games. Carroll Hardy’s three-run homer in the 13th inning lifted the Houston Colts to a 16-12 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Orlando Cepeda homered in his spring debut and Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Ernie Bowman and rookie Cap Peterson also homered for the Giants. Household Scrapbook Conditioning Paint Before replacing the lid on a paint can, breathe lightly into the can on top of the paint. This preserves the paint and prevents formation of troublesome film. If storing paint for the season, follow the above procedure, then jam the lid on tightly and turn the can upside down. When you open the can again the paint will be as fresh as when you left it. Fastening On Thin Stock Fasten a coat hook on a very thin door panel, or on one of the newer, cored-style doors, with a sheet metal screw, threaded all the way to the head. Punch the starting hole with a heavy brad awl and tighten the screw only until it makes firm contact. Further tightening will merely strip the threads. Handy Pump Plunger

Over 800 Attend Bluffton Meeting More than 800 National Farmers Organization members and guests attended the whole hog sausage supper held at the Bluffton community building Monday. Allen Spurgeon, national N.F.O. director, was guest speaker for the affair. In his talk, he outlined the objectives of the N.F.0., ex-1 plaining how the organization is' striving to have farmers bargain for a price in their products with the packers and processors. This arrangement, he explained, would give the farmer a better price for his products. It was 1 pointed out how the often referred to surplus of farm products could be eliminated if the farmers work-' ed together as a group, marketing their products in an orderly fashion. Through this, the price of food' across the counter would remain 1 about the same, according to Spurgeon, and any increase would amount to a very low percentage. Rev. Hull, of Liberty Center,! gave the invocation. He Was introduced by Douglas Blessing, Wells county N.F.O. chairman. Rev. Hull introduced the main, speaker. Entertainment was furnished by a Barbershop quartet from Adams county, members of the Adams county chapter of the SPEBSQSA. Organ music was furnished by Bob Ehrsam during the supper hour.

Girl Stakes Life On Controversial Drug
ROCKFORD, IU. (UPD— Perky Diane Lindstrom is a normal high school coed in every respect but one. Her soft smile and shy eyes hide the painful knowledge that she suffers from a malignant bone cancer of the right thigh. She is staking her life on the controversial cancer drug krebiozen. And one of the great battles of modern medicine —whether krebiozen is effective in the fight against cancer—may hinge on the outcome of Diane’s struggle to walk without pain. Only one month ago, the pretty 18-year-old girl faced a terrifying decision—either have her leg amputated or run the risk of never living to see her 23rd birthday. She said she would rather die than have the leg amputated. Diane’s family physician took X-rays when her leg began to ache last October. They revealed no abnormalities. In late January, Diane was still in pain. More X-rays were taken and the tumor was discovered. ‘ The doctor said the noly answer was amputation,” Mrs. Virginia Lindstrom told Chicago’s American columnist Jack Mabley. "He said the cancer was severe and the operation should be done immediately.” Hear of Drug Two days before the scheduled amputation, the daughter of a hospital worker visited the Lindstroms. “She told us about krebiozen,” Mrs. Lindstrom said. “We hadn’t even thought about it We’d heard about it, the controversy and all-

The woman said she had faith in what it could do against cancer.” Mrs. Lindstrom and her husband, Milton, went to Chicago to talk with Dr. Andrew Ivy about the drug. Ivy, an internationally known scientist and former vice president in charge of the University of Illinois professional schools, has been this country’s foremost proponent of krebiozen. In Ivy’s 10-year battle to win acceptance of the drug, he lost his university post, the Chicago Medical Society moved to punish him for promoting a “secret remedy,” and representatives of organized medicine—including the American Medical Association — declared krebiozen “worthless.” A government evaluation of the drug is currently in a state of suspension. Mrs. Lindstrom said that when her husband “asked our doctor about the drug, he threw up his hands.” The Lindstroms decided to postpone the operation and find out more about krebiozen. Wanted to Try It “We asked Diane,” she said. “We told her what we thought. She had resigned herself to the operation, but right away she wanted to try krebiozen.” The operation was canceled, Diane came to Illinois Masonic Hospital at Chicago for Krebiozen treatments and the family doctor wrote the federal government asking that the drug be barred from public use until it has been fully tested. The doctor’s request was refused. Ivy said the doctor pro-
Three Financiers Freed Under Bond INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Three prominent Hoosier financiers were free today on $2,000 bonds each after surrendering on federal grand jury indictments charging them with 21 counts of fraud. Richard A. Larson, president of the National Security Life Insurance Co.; Ewing L. Cox, secre-tary-treasurer and Samuel B. Huffman, general counsel, all of Indianapolis, were named in a sealed indictment returned Tuesday by an Indianapolis federal grand jury. They appeared with their attorney late Wednesday and surrendered on the charges. According to U.S. Dist. Atty. Richard Stein the three men formed a partnership which received 15 per cent commission on tested “apparently because of professional jealousy.” After a month of treatment, Diane said she “feels good.” “I’m up and around,” she said. “I went to church Sunday.” Ivy said Diane “has lost all the pain she had.” X-rays showed the tumor has not grown and appeared to be somewhat smaller than before the krebiozen treatements started. Ivy said. Diane still comes to Chicago twice weekly for treatments“I can’t say what her chances are,” Ivy said. “We have one girl going on her fourth year, but this is very malignant. We didn’t make any promises, just gave them the facts and said you have to make up your own mind.” “Diane said she would rather die than go through life without a leg,” Ivy said.
the sale of National Security Life Insurance Co. stock which they also controlled. He said from 1955 to 1961 they sold more than 300,000 shares of the life insurance stock amid indications the company was a successful operation. Stein said the defendants hid the fact the company had been experiencing substantial losses and they bought up stock which was being sold on the open market at a .lower price in order to keep their price higher The grand jury returned 11 charges of violating the U.S. Securities Act;, one charge of conspiracy to violate the same law; nine charges involving omission of material facts and two charges of unlawful trading in the stock of a corporation by the officers of a corporation. Cox was a prominent Indianapolis banker before he went intothe life insurance business. Larson was a former Ohio State administrative staff member. Huffman was a Republican deputy prosecutor from 1941-45 and an exdeputy state securities commissioner. , KENNEDY (Continued from Page One) In delivering his speech the President eliminated most of the references to Cuba and Russia and concentrated instead on common bonds of freedom and economic progress in which the nations of the Americas are joined. The White House said there was no significance to the omissions, a practice Kennedy often follows, and that the President stood by the text of the prepared address.
