Yanks Surge
Ahead To Take
Series Win
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
MILWAUKEE, lfl — The New
York Yankees were back on the
baseball throne today, possessors
of Ihe most brilliant triumph in
their long World Series history.
Casey Stengel reigned supreme
as the greatest manager in the
game today, and as one of the
shrewdest manipulators of man
power the sport has ever known.
The perennial American League
champions climaxed a courage
ous up-hill battle Thursday when
they defeated former nemesis
Lew Burdette and the Milwaukee
Braves 6-2. It was their 18th
world title in the last 38 years,
their eighth in the last 12.
But neither Stengel nor the
front office was fooled. They
knew this is not one of the better
Yankee teams. It had too much of
a battle on its hands before over
coming only a fair Milwaukee
club in seven games. It had to
surge back from a 3-1 deficit after
looking like chumps in the first
two games.
It had to receive super pitching
to offset mediocre hitting. It had
to get help from the opposition
in the way of poor base running,
faulty fielding, errant throwing
and horrendous hitting in the
clutch in order to win. •
Stengel praised his athletes to
the skies after their final victory,
their third in succession and
their fourth in the last five
games. Only one other World Se
ries club had ever made such a
comeback.
But it is safe tq assume Stengel
has not forgotten the promise he
made a week ago, after his play
ers had lost 13-5 to the Braves.
“I’m going to make some
changes on this club,” he vowed
then. “There are several men on
the club who don’t deserve to be
on it. I promise you this. They
won’t be here next spring.”
NOTHING BUT BUMPS
AND BRUISES
BRIDGETON, N. J., Iffi — Bad

ty freeholder Max April.
His car turned over in August,
and he was thrown out, suffering

Last month, the April Brothers
orchard in Milville had a fire
with damage running to $150,000.
Last night April hobbled into
the Board of Freeholders’ meeting
on crutches. He explained he fell

Idaho Crash
Kills 19 U. S.
Air Force Men
By DALE NELSON
PAYETTE, Idaho, UF> — An Air
Force transport, apparently trying
a wheels-down emergency land
ing, crashed and burned with 19
servicemen aboard Thursday
night. All were killed.
A team of Air Force investiga
tors began a probe today amid
speculation the twin-engine C123
may have vrun into a flock of
geese.
Witnesses said the plane ap
peared to be gliding in for a
landing just before it smashed
nose first into a brush-covered
hillside on a ranch near this
southwest Idaho community.
“There were three light blink
ing and the wheels were down,”
said irrigation worker Norman
Meadows. “It looked like he was
going to try and make a landing.”
Officers from Idaho’s Mountain
Home Air Force Base said the 19
aboard were all Air Force person
nel. They said the plane was en
route to McChord Field, Tacoma,
Wash., from its home Pope Air
Force Base, N. C.
Sheriff Ray Stephens said
some witnesses told him they saw
a flock of geese in the area at the j
time of the crash.
Fire from the wreckage burned
some five acres of brush.

Start of 9-Day Rites
By EUGENE LEVIN
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, UB
— Pope Pius XII will return in
death Friday to his native Rome,
to lie in state at the Vatican and
be buried in St. Peter’s Basilica.
His death . early Wednesday,
though anticipated for hours, sent
a wave of shock around the world
and brought widespread expres
sions of tribute from political and
church leaders outside the Iron
Curtain.
He was 82, and had served 19
years as the supreme leader of
the Roman Catholic Church.
He will go back to that ancient
city, borne by a motorcade along
the Appian Way.
Before that, the Church ar
ranged a three-hour period for
the body to lie in state Thursday
in the Hall of the Swiss in the
summer palace here, where he
was stricken and died.
This was the first stage in elab
orate mojirning rites lasting nine
days. A week or so later the Col
lege of Cardinals . will meet in
secret to name a successor to a
Pope who gave the church one of
its most brilliant leaderships.
Benedette Cardinal Aloisi-Ma
sell was elected by the Cardinals
Thursday as Papal Chamberlain
to administer affairs of the church
until a new Pontiff is chosen. .
Pius XII suffered a stroke on
Monday and anothe Wednesday.
For hours he hovered in death’s
agony. Then, while millions
around the world prayed, he died
at 3:52 a.m. (9:52 p.m. EST),
Wednesday) in the Papal summer
residence in this hill town 18
miles south of Rome. *
Eugenio Pacelli, the 261st Pope,
was the leader of the world’s 500
million Catholics in one of the
most burdensome times in the

West Coast Cities File Objections To
Rate Differences For Alaska Freight
SEATTLE, UP) — Several West<
Coast cities have filed objections
with the Federal Maritime Board
against rates announced by the
Alaska Freight Lines on freight
moving by barge between the
Midwest and Alaska.
The objectives were reported
Friday by the Seattle Traffic
Association, which said many of
the rates from Chicago, St. Louis,
New Orleans and Texas ports to
Alaska are lower than rates from
the. Pacific Coast to Alaska.
J. D. Paul, secretaryymanager
of the association, said the haul
from Chicago to Anchorage by
way of the Panama Canal is five
times as long as from Seattle to
Anchorage, yet the rates are
lower.
“Certainly the Pacific Coast
cities have no objection to reduc
>
tions in the rates from the Mid
west and New Orleans to Alas
ka,” Paul said, “providing like
reductions are made in the rates
from Seattle and other Pacific
Coast ports.”
Paul said cities whose officials
objected to the rates include Se
attle, Tacoma, Portland and Los
Angeles. He said the new rates
are published in two tariffs, one
already in effect and the other
scheduled to become effective
next Wednesday.
The Maritime Board has been
asked to suspend the tariff which
is not yet in effect and to inves
tigate legality of both tariffs.
Everett Nowell, traffic man
ager here for Alaska freight, de
clined comment on the new rate
schedules.

date at the U. S. Court Room,

4:30 today, and also on Monday
and Tuesday of next week.
There is no charge; disrobing
is unnecessary, and the X-Ray

U. S. Warns Russ
Test Suspension
Is Conditional
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., —
The United States warned tojiay
President Eisenhower’s proposed
one-year moratorium on nuclear
tests will be nullified if the So
viets continue test explosions
after October 31.
At the same time, Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge declared the
United States cannot agree to a
complete and permanent cessa
tion of tests until progress is
made on other phases of disarma
ment.
Lodge spoke before the U.N.’s
81-nation political committee as
it opened a comprehensive de
bate on disarmament.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian Zorin immediately ac
cused the United States of being
unwilling to seek agreement at
the coming Geneva talks on a per
manent end to nuclear weapons
testing.
In a bitter attack on U. S. poli
cy, Zorin declared Lodge’s
speech demonstrated that the
United States wants the cessa
tion of tests to be the last step
in a series of disarmament meas
ures, while the world is clamor
ing for an immediate end to the
tests.
