No Notification Chinese sources said they still had no official notification of the Russian withdrawal and that the purpose of the Soviet evacuation of Manchuria’s principal city re mained a mystery. Some Nation alist sources asserted that the sud den and secret Soviet withdrawal was intended to facilitate Com munist seizure of the city. Central reported that the Rus sians had massed 10,000 railroad coaches in Mukden for their with drawal and quoted railroad work ers as saying that 25 fully loaded trains had pulled out Friday night. The last Soviet soldier left Muk den, Saturday, the agency report ed, and Nationalist troops were taking over control. Back to Moscow The Catholic newspaper, Social Welfare Daily, said Russian troops caroused in cafes and restaurants UP to a late hour Thursday night, shouting: "we’re going back to Moscow." Chinese observers said it ap peared too early to determine if 'he secret Soviet withdrawal from Mukden would continue into a general evacuation of Man churia. It was pointed out, how ever, that the Russians probably would have remained in Mukden, ®ce it is Manchuria’s principal chy, if they intended to stay in Manchuria. rPU. *< . ~ . i _ ouviei troops trains w P^ll out of Mukden went south to Arthur and Darien while the others headed north for Changchun, reports from Mukden said.

"This menace must and can J>e done away. Your first step in doing So is to prohibit any players who are ineligible or who nave jumped contracts with organized baseball from playing baseball in your win ter league. I feel sure if this stand is taken by the Cuban people that it won’t be long until the Mexican outlaw league will go out of exis tence.” Griffith expressed hope that Cuba would continue baseball as its na tional sport. He said that the new Havana team in the Florida Inter national league would establish a foundation in organized bal lin this country. “If you people decide you want to adopt the game as a national sport it would become your duty to set up regulations to forever keep clean the playing of the game. You unfortunately have a battle on your hands,” Griffith concluded. Tropical stadium housed a crowd of 8,000 and a colorful band played rhumbas throughout the game, won by the Red Sox, 7-3. Baseball Commissioner Albert B. (Happy) Chandler, President William Har ridge of the American League, flar old Ruel special assistant to Chandler, and Thomas Richardsjp, chairman of the Minor League executive committee, sat in the box of honor with sports director Luis Rodriguez and Griffith along with Cuban officials.

Hellcats On The Court By DON HEWITT AP NEWSFEATUBES MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There are two sailors at the Naval Air Tech nical Training Center here who won’t have to take advantage of the GI bill to further their educa tion.

The sensational little Hogan sank a 20-foot putt on the 36th green for a birdie three and neither Snead nor Byrd, who were on in two putted out, conceding the match. Hogan and Demaret held a one-up lead going to the final hole. As darkness settled over the 6, 310-yard Miami Springs course, Snead put his team back int0 the running on the 17th 440-yard par four hole when he drove a great five iron shot from 175 yards away to within 24 inches of the pin. He sank his putt for a birdie three as Hogan and Demaret took fours. That shaved the Hogan-Demaret lead to a single hole. Snead and Byrd shot a five-un der par 30 on the last nine as Ho gan and Demaret fired a 31. Little Ben’s putter decided the issue on three important holes. The Texas sons, Hogan, of Fort Worth, now playing out of Hershey, Pa., and Demaret, of Houston, went into the last nine with a two. up advantage. They halved the 28th and the 29th went to Snead and Byrd when de maret three-putted and Hogan mis. sed his putt. They halved the next four holes and on the 125-yard 34th hole Demaret’s drive was within two feet of the pin and he sank fcl' a birdie deuce as his op ponents took threes. Snead’s sensational second shot on the 35th hole won that for the Virginia hill-billy and his partner, the ex-New York Yankee. The winning team will split $2, 000 and the losers $1,500. The re maining teams split $5,000. Hogan and Demaret held a 2-up lead at the end of the first 27 holes after the 135-pound Texan took the steam out of Snead’s 12-foot putt on the ninth green by ramming one in from 25 feet to halve the hole. It was the second time today that little Ben had cheated Snead out of a hole by sensational putting. On the 18th, both Snead and Byrd were within ten feet of the cup while Demaret was off the edge of the green and Hogan some 25 feet from the pin. Snead dropped his for a birdie and Hogan, with the pressure on, slammed his ball straight into the cup, Hogan and Demaret had a best ball of 62 for the morning round while Snead and Byrd had a 64. nogan s putter worKect us magic to keep his team in front -while Snead obviously was tired after yesterday’s 40-hole struggle when he and Byrd eliminated Byron Nel. son and Harold (Jug> McSpaden, the defending champions. The Texans took the first two holes to start play today, Demaret winning the first on a six foot putt and Hogan sinking a 12-footer to win the second. Snead and Byrd came back to take the third but both Hogan and Demaret chipped in on the fifth for birdie fours as Snead and Byrd took par fives. Hogan and Demaret moved three three up on the 10th when Demaret sank a three-footer for a birdie. On the 13th Snead and Byrd managed a birdie and the Texans had a par.

When a great power sends a battleship to a dis puted area, in the language of diplomacy that means it intends to participate in the settlement. The ship is meant to symbolize th# fact that the diplomatic discussion is not an academic debate, not a mere expression of sentiment and opinion, but a truly serious nego tiation. For that reason it is most im portant that we should ourselves interpret our own intentions. They could easily be misinterpreted,,' especially at this moment, as corV mitting this country to the role of seconder and supporter in an anti-Soviet coalition. If that inter pretation is allowed to stand, wa shall find that we have aggravated the disorder of the world and have sacrified our influence and initiative as a peace-maker among tne powers. That surely Is not what we intend to accomplish by sending the Missouri into the Mediterran ean. Quite the contrary. Our real reason, which is the best of all reasons and should be made known unmistakably, is to estab lish the fact that the United States has great interests of its own in the Mediterranean, and that the settlement in the Medi terranean is not to be determined by Great Britain and hte Soviet Union alone. The whole value of the demonstration would be de stroyed if Moscow, London and Istanbul were allowed to think that Mr. Churchill has persuaded us to come in order to reinforce Mr. Bevin. This is not a lend lease operation. It is an insistence that we wish to be recognized a# an independent power in the Mediterranean and not to be com mitted, entangled, and discounted as an auxiliary power. An independent American par ticipation is indispensable if the conflict in the Mediterranean is not to become first deadlocked, and then dangerously explosive. The British - Russian conflict is deteriorating towards violence. For both in Moscow and in London the men who have responsibility seem to have run out of ideas, and of the energy to promote them, which offe^ any hope ot promise of a constructive settle ment. Moscow is full of dynamism, no doubt, but it is primitive, acquisitive, and morbidly self centered: the Soviet leaders, wha profess to be the missionaries ol a new civilization, are at the pres, ent time behaving as if no one in Russia had had a really .new idea since Peter the Great. And Lon don. after all the fine rhetoric of the Labor party leaders, has a foreign policy which is not easily distinguishable from that of Palmerston at the time of the Crimean War. It is as a new power, without vested interests and a long history in the Mediterranean, that we can best serve our own interests and those of the general peace. To play this part well is not easy since we shall need to distinguish clearly what so many have an interest in obscuring—the line be tween appeasement and retreat in the face of Soviet expansion on the one hand, of sterile resistance, inconclusive rear - guard actions, and entanglement on the other. As long as we are not physically present in this region as an inde pendent power, it almost impos sible to draw that line. We arc forever being caught between Rus sian actions, which present us with accomplished facts, and echoing the British protests, which do not prevent the accomplished facts. With the Missouri and an ac companying fleet, treated as tha symbol of our power and interest, ” V '**»** '““•‘V ** uuiiiigbunowij VI COL in Moscow just where we believe the cuter limits of their expansion, are. They are at those critical points where the defense of the Russian homeland against inva sions ends. They are for the Med iterranean quite evidently at Tri este, Salonika ar.d the Dodecanese, and the other Greek Islands; they are in the Red Sea and in the Persian Gulf. That is clearly the line which we must regard aa marking the outer limit of legiti mate and acceptable Russian in terest. On the Russian side of that line lies a belt of tcrrtiory which in cludes the Balkans, Turkey and Iran. Here there is a legitimate Russian interest. But if the Rus ;ians wish to live peaceably in the ame world with their allies, they ’/ill not attempt to magnify their egitimate interest into an exclu ;ive interest. Here there will have o be collaboration, and respect for he principles and engagements hey and we have jointly made, ind then a settlement, or the con equences for all of us—for them nd for ourselves—will be much rorse than those who take a short iew are likely to realize.
