Still Playing
A make-up game between the
Popular Store Giants and the Bow-
en Drug Tigers, in which the Giants
stomped the Tigers for a II t > 4
count, decided the major league ti-
tle for the last half of the sea
son. The Giants scored eight runs
in the first frame followed by
three in the second to total their
score of eleven points on six hits.
Mike Sullivan was hailed as tl.e
winning pitcher. The Giants, also
winners of the first half, had a
record of one loss and one j,a,ne
to make up. The Cardinals had two
losses and had completed all their
games. If the Giants had lost the
game mentioned above the title
question would have had to be de
cided by playoffs between the
Giants and the Cards, but as the
victor the Giants were declared sea-
son champions.
In the minor league the first
game in a two out of three series
was played Tuesday afternoon in
which the Ba urn's Fashion Shop
Oilers, winners of the season's last
half, dumped the Elks Club Sports,
title holders for the first, half sea-
son, for a 4 to 1 win. The second
game of the series will be played
Thursday night at 8 o'clock. In the
case of an Oiler victory, the sea-
son title will be awarded to the Oil-
ers.
As a result of the Little League
meeting the following players were
chosen for the all-star team: Jerry
Berry, Bobhy Majors, Jimmy Wil
liams, Paul Humphrey. Kenny
Parish, Jimmy Derrick, Holly Ur-

Managers for the team will be
Dickie Nichols, Roger Wilkerson,

Resignation accepted was that
of Mrs. Janire Kiker, who has ac-
cepted a position in Grand Prarie.

Hightower reports that more
than at any time since the weeks
juat after Stalin died four yeais
ago, experts in the S£ate Depart-
ment, the Pentagon and Intelli-
gence agencies are occupied trying
to sort out the facts.
Hightower reports that so far
they have come up with three esti-
mates covering the major possi-
bilities. Briefly, these estimates |
are:
Number 1—Khrushchev is well
along the way to becoming a vir-
tual dictator and the system of
collective rule which was installed
upon Stalin's death is doomed.
Number 2—Khrushchev is still
what might be called "chairman
of the board" of a collective rule
system which continues to operate.
But with his most formidable
critics out <*" the way, Khrushchev
now can expect far more support
and much less opposition than pre
viously.
Estimate number 3 — Defense
Minister Zhukov may be the real
strong man in the reorganized con-
trol group, the presidium of the
central committee of the Commun-
ist party. The U. S. experts who
subscribe to this theory say Zhu-
kov represents the power of the
Soviet military establishment and
Khrushchev could not have contin-
ued as Communist party boss
without hht support.
Hightower says the variety and
contradictory nature of these the-
ories reflect the lack of hard in
formation in Washington about the
Soviet leadership as it now stands.
Also indicated is an uncertainty
over how to evaluate the evidence
which now is available.

These people may appear to act

will not seem so strange.
India as a whole was pictured
as a country populated by a large
majority of illiterates, with over
three million gods, the majority of
whose people never have enough to
eat, 221 languages spoken, and the

segregationists accused of inter-
fering with enrollment of Negro
students at the Clinton. Tennessee

The trial in U. S. district court

power to enforre the Supreme court
decision ending segregation in pub-
lic schools.
Fifteen of the defendants are
Tennesseans. The 16th is John Kas

after freedom was granted by the

there was for communism.

(By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Sponsors of civil rights legisla-
tion aie hinting broadly at possible
future compromises as they pre-
pare for further efforts to get the
House-passed bill before the Sen-
ate for action. Southern Democrats
are ready to resume their attacks
on the measure in lengthy speech-
es. And there are clear indications
that Eisenhower administration of-
ficials will be willing to talk about
changes in the bill when the Sen-
ate begins actual work on it.
Vice President Nixon, among
others, is reported to feel that the
language sponsored by the admin-
istration and approved by the
House may be too stringent. The
Senate Republican leader, William
Kno«land of California, apparent-
ly shares this view. Knowland
says that after the measure is
officially before the Senate, he
will be open to suggestions for
possible chances.
This attitude seems to reflect
the growth of opposition among
some Republicans to pushing
through a measure southern Sena-
tors have said would give the At-
torney General sweeping powers to
intervene in almost any civil
rights controversy. The leader of
the southern forces, Georgia Demo-
crat Richard Russell, and others
have called the civil rights meas-
ure "vicious"
President Eisenhower talked
nearly an hour today with Senator
Richard Russell.
The Georgia Democrat told news-
men afterwards that the Presi-
dent's mind is not closed to amend-
ments which would clarify the
controversial measure. Russell re-
fused to express an opinion, how-
ever .as to whether the adminis-
tration would back clarifying
amendments.
The White House conference
came amid hints o'i a possible
North-South compromise on the
civil rights measure. The admin-
istration bill has passed the House.
A fight in the Senate, so far not
a fuli-scale filibuster, i3 over a
motion to bring the bill up for
floor action.
Senate debate on a motion to
bring the civil rights bill to the
Senate floor is now in its third
day. Because of maneuvering be-
hind the scenes, some Senate lead-
ers believe a vote on the motion
may not come before Wednesday
ol" next week.

Former Brock Resident Is Delegate

Information received by Father
Lewis from Whittier, California is
that Bill Henry, 17-year-old Whit-
tier senior, and 'former Brecken-
ridge resident will visit Mexico
this summer as a delegate to the
Episcopal work project committee.
He will be remembered by many
here as an outstanding Little

ago.
Bill, son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Henry, was selected as a delegate
because of his outstanding activ-
ity at home, school, and church.
He serves as an acolyte and junior
