THURSDAY, APRIL 5 a, 1951 MANTLEIS CALLED UP FOR DRAFT EL PASO, Tex., April 5 —#—The publicity given Mickey Mantle in the past month has, in the opinion of Manager Casey Stengel, forced the remarkable youngster’s draft board to call him in for another look-see. The Yankee pilot just had been notified by Mickey that he had been ordered to report,to his board at Miami, Okla., next Wednesday. He was classified last winter as 4-F because of a bone infection in his left ankle which apparently is permanent. “I can understand it,” said Casey, though the news plainly came as a blow to him, “People have read all these write-ups about him, about how fast he can run, and they ask why isn’t he in the Army if he can do all that. They write letters, too.” EXHIBITION B.B. GAMES By Associated Press Ted (The Brute) Kluszewski, 26- year-old first baseman of the Cin- cinnati Reds, is going to be a tough customer in the clutch this season if his Grapefruit league booming | is any criterion. Kluszewski, hailed as one of the coming sluggers of the game, is whaling the ball for the Reds at extremely opportune moments. The former star end of the Uni- versity of Indiana drove in all of Cincinnati’s runs yesterday as the Reds defeated Washington, 3-0, at Orlando, Fla. The New York Yankees, mean- while, outlasted El Paso of the Southwest International league, 16 to 10, in the Texas city. Hank Bauer blasted two home runs and Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Clff Mapes and Joe Di Maggio one each to lead the bombers’ assault. Chicago White Sox edged the Pitts- burgh Pirates, 9-8, in 10 innings at New Orleans. The Sox tied the score on Jim Busby’s homer in the ninth and won out in the tenth when Ed McGhee scored after Ed Robinson flied out. Four home runs enabled the Jacksonville Tars of the South At- lantic league to nip the Boston Red Sox 8-7, at Jacksonville, Fla. Third Baseman Rance Pless delivered the payoff blow, a 400-foot homer in the last of the ninth, Yesterday’s Results Brooklyn N, 5, Phils N, 4, 11 inn- ings. Cincinnati N, 3, Wash. A, 0.

DROPO'S INJURY TO WRIST NOT T00 BAD BOSTON, April 5 —(®— Encour- aged by a doctor’s opinion he should be able to start the American league season April 17 Walt Dropo left to- day to rejoin his Boston Red Sox mates in Augusta, Ga. The big first baseman suffered a hairline fracture in a wrist bone last Sunday and first reports were that he would be out for four to eight weeks. However, Dr. Ralph McCarthy, team physician, and Dr. Paul But- ler, an X-ray specialist, revised that opinion yesterday.

SOXOLSKY A Congressional commi‘tee which sets out to investigate u witness should complete its job or aniounce to the public that it has not com- pleted the investigation. Otherwise, it betrays its trust and it places the | witness in a false light, It does not take ful advantage of his appear- ance beiure it and at the same time, it gives to the public the im- prescion that his answers were in- adequate. The House committee on Unam- erican aectivities, which under the chairmanship of Martin Dies and J. Parnell Thomas served this coun- (try well, in spite of all left-wing crit.cisms, has proved itself to be inadequate during the past two yeais, under the chairmanship ot John S. Wood. Take, for instance, the investiga- tion of Larry Parks. He appeared beforc the committee in executive a and answered all the ques- that were asked of him. As far as it went, his testimony was adecuate. He confessed to his own Corimunist participation; he named names where asked to do so. This is tough doing, when one works in an industry which is over- anxious to protect the property value of advertised names, no mat- ter what the owners of those names have done to damage their country. Just as Parks's testimony was becoming important, a bell rang calling the members of the House of Representatives to a roll-call. Such a routine does not take long and the committee could have and should have resumed its hearing. Instead, Parks was excused and: the committee never called him! back to an executive session, Thus,! his testimony was never completed. ) He was never asked essential ques- tions leading to the present situ-| ation. He was never given an op- portunity to explain positions which he and his colleagues took subse- quent to 1945 when our alliance with Soviet Russia terminated. The injustice is as great to him as it is to the people of the United Statee. Those who have read re- ports of the public session of the committee, at which Parks ap- peared, are naturally of the opinion that all he tried to do was to square himself by a pathetic recital of his background. ‘What they do not know is that the House committee on Unamerican activities failed tol get the most information out of a witness and that when they had a friendly witness before them who was willing to testify, they shut him off because a bell rang. This committee is coasting along on the great work done by Martin Dies, Robert Stripling, J. B. Mat- | thews, J. Parnell Thomas, and Richard Nixon. It is not doing a comparable service. It is a lazy, in- adequate’ committee that submits to pressures by the Department of justice, which is apparently seek- ing to prevent a second Alger Hiss case from developing. A committee of Congress should be absolutely independent of the executive branch of government. It is not expected to recognize the political necessities or to respect the chicaneries of those in office. The story goes that this committee confars with Deputy Attorney Gen- eral Peyton Ford, or as another account has it, Ford’s task is to see that no new Alger Hiss case breaks. The Department of Justice is de- signed to be a law enforcement, not a political, agency. Precisely what happened to the Tydings committee is that it sub- mitted to executive pressure, That is why I have said that the McCar- thy charges stand. The Tydings committee did not investigate them. When its counsel, Edward Morgan, came to my house, he told me the story as it never was permitted to be told to his committee. And there was little difference between the story he told me and that which Senator Joe McCarthy was shout- ing from the housetops. Someone reached that committee ¢ kiil the evidence. I am not convinced that the in- adequate functioning of the House committee on Unamerican activi- ties is altogether fortuitous. Some- thing queer goes on when a witness like Larry Parks is shut off by a bell when he provides evidence which the committee badly needs to make its case. It looks as though Someone were, waiting for that bell to ring—and that someone was not Larry Parks. ‘This column has been supporting this committee since it was organ- ized. But if it plays such tricks as I have described, it must be shown up for what it is. A committee which does not do its work properly _._________.—_.—______'____.___.__—_.

The club owners only wish the fans would start com- ing out to see the games. The total attendance at the four games yes terday and last night was 7,653. T )w intake certainly didn’t match the outgo — not on the basis of ball- players’ appetites and today’s prices. San Diego and Los Angeles put on a free-scoring thriller with San Diego getting a 9-7 decision before the top crowd of 3,726. The Padres maintained first place in the stand- ing.

They have dropped every one of their nine contests. Portland set them back in the only day game, 7 to 4. The at- tendance was 685. Rookie Jim Marshall, 18-year-old Oakland first baseman, was the big noise as Oaks downed Sacramen- to, 13 to 6. Marshall smashed a hom- er and a single to drive in six runs. It was the fourth homer of the brief season for the youngster, up from the Western International league. Manager Joe Gordon of the Sacs hit two over the left field wall | at Sacramento. The Seals’ loss set a new club record. When C'Toul started as manager in 1935 the San Francis cans lost eight in a row, but they bounced bacx, took second place in the first half of the split season, captured the last half and then won the playoffs to capture the pen- nant, COAST LEAGUE STANDI W.
