| Rain Threatens To Postpone All-Star Game
Play Tilt Tomorrow If It's Canceled
By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA, July 8 ~—A thin but steady gain threatened today to force a
postponement of the 1952
All-Star game between the National and American Leagues for | the first time since the midseason classic was inaugurated in 1934.
If the game is postponed, it will be rescheduled for 10 a. m, (Indianapolis Time) tomorrow. If rained out a second time, it will be called off permanently. 3 Commissioner Ford Frick, in whom authority for calling off the game rested, said “the game has not been called and will not «-he.called. uatil itis completely. ¥ obvious that it is impossible to

it was an isolationist speech which cast doubt on collective security as an instrument of national defense. Mr. Martin said he did not think Gen. MacArthur had. beep isolationist but merely reminded the country that Asia, as well as Europe, was important. Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, an Eisenhower supporter, called the keynote address “a grand flop—the fadeaway is on its way.” “We must remain faithful to the commitments we have made to others,-so long as they remain faithful to theirs made to us” Gen. MacArthur said.
