DiMaggio Is Compared To His Feathered Friend By OCSCAR FRALEY New York, May IS (UK Joe DlMaggio opened the door of the cage and gave hli twit tering canary the freedom of bis hotel room. It sounds silly to call the treat DIMarrio, the automa ton of the Yankees, a caged bird himself. But as he watch the little bird flit around the. room, you knew that Joe, too, would like to be free. Here Is a man of emotions and a lonely man. While he is grateful for success, he regrets his lack of privacy, is quick to anger at false stories about bis private life, is perplexed over the future. "Being a baseball star Is a (ood feeling," Joe mused. His eyes upon the canary perch ed momentarily on a floor lamp, "It has plenty of ad vantages and disadvan tages." The major fault, you feel, is the loss of personal freedom. Joe tells you, as all ball play ers do, that "when people stop asking for autographs, that's the time to worry." Just the same the constant pressure of adulation and attention is nerve-wracking. "Anybody likes to be alone once in awhile," said the Clip per. "Maybe I have more of a desire for solitude than some folks. That's probably why Wakefield Case Shoved to Chandler Again by Yanks New York, May 13 MP) The explosive Dick Wakefield case was shoved back into Commis sioner A. B. Chandler's laps today, with the career of the temperamental outfielder in the balance. The New York Yankees sus pended the 29-year-old fly chaser without pay yesterday shortly after they had been ordered to take him back in the deal with the . Chicago White Sox that didn't jell. Wakefield, In Ann Arbor, Mich., said he'd give George Weiss, general manager of the Yankees, "48 hours to talk it over with me as a gentleman." 'If he doesn't do it," he ad ded, "my alternative Is an ap peal to the commissioner." It semed nnlikely Weiss would make a dash for the tel ephone. The Yankee Major Domo appeared miffed when be called a hurried post-game press conference and announc ed Wakefield was suspended Indefinitely, effective April t9. for failing to report to Chi cago. "He will not play again with the New York Yankees," Weiss declared. A few hours earlier the com missioner had voided the April 28 deal that was supposed to send Wakefield to the White Sox for a sum of cash and out fielder Johnny Ostrowskl. .

There are times I Ilka to just be alone and I sel dom have the chance." His one "out" is the sooth ing darkness of a movie. "Then It s dark and quiet and I can lose myself In the picture," Joe said. "Don't get the Idea that I'm big-headed. Certainly I'm not snobbish. I'm proud and grateful for my success. But I caution myself it is only temporary. This glory business Is shortlived. I try to take it all with pati ence and appreciation." As a success, Joe apparent ly feels underneath that ha has been a failure. His mar riage went on the rocks, he has no regular "girl" and he has shuttled from botel to ho tel in flight from too avid fans. In his loneliness. Little Joe Is his anchor. When he talks of his small son, DiMag's eyes light up as they do at no other time. "Will I want him to be a ball player?" Joe repeats. "No. Whatever -he wants la okay with me. But It will be a while. Last week be wanted to be a cop. This week be wants to be a fireman." Joe got up then, walked lithely across the room, and, regretfully, put the canary back into its cage. Wakefield wouldn't report to the White Sox unless they restored a $5,400 pay cut from his 1949 salary at Detroit, giving him 822,500 for the year. His Yankee contract called for (17,100. When the outfielder didn't show up, Chicago General Manager Frank Lane called the whole thing off. The commissioner, reached at his Versailles, Ky., home today, said "I have no com ment on Mr. Wakefield."

(AP Wirephoto) Mae Murray's Comeback Is Like a Glimpse in the Past By BOB THOMAS Hollvwood.Mav 13 () Fllmdom's cafe society took a glimpse at the past last night as former movie queen Mae Murray made a dancing comeback at a leading nightclub. . . Miss Murray, whose "bee-stung lips" were a film trade mark of the roaring '20s, twirled and of the Mocambo and won hearts a p p la u s e from the capacity house. Plump but trim in a sleek black dress with low neck and bare back, she performed with two latin-looking partners, Juan Reyes and Michel Panaieff. The crowd cheered as she cavorted through sambas, rhumbas and the merry widow waltz, with which she danced to fame with John Gilbert in the film "The Merry Widow." It was a nostalgic evening. Pat rons shuffled the Charleston to the loud strains of a band dressed like the Keystone Kops. They ap plauded for the guest of honor, Mack Sennett. the comedy king. And they stood and cheered as Miss Murray flitted about the floor with ecstatic face and out stretched arms. The comeback was a birthday gift for the onetime film favorite. Her exact age was in doubt. Most records indicate she entered the Ziegfield Follies in 1908 at the age of 15, which would make her about 57. She was married four Independence Marion-Polk League Champ Stayton Independence high, with a record of six wins and no defeats, won the championship of the Marion-Polk league.

She declared she retired with a $3,000,000 fortune and a few years later found herself penniless on a New York park bench. The actress said ahe felt no nervousness before last night's show. "I feel wonderful," she said in a rapturous voice. "But then that's one thing about me. I always feel wonderful." I asked her about future en gagements. "Oh, the moment the news went out," she said, "the offers came in from all sides. They even want me to appear in Paris." 'As for offers to return to the movies, I haven't received any yet but I suppose that will come." She said her big plan was to ap pear in and produce films for television. She indicated her fans have remained loyal. 'They give me such love," she remarked, "and you know that is the most precious thing in the world."

Postcard Stirs Demo Circles Portland, May 13 VI The pri mary campaign was enlivened here today by Al Brown's com plaint of an anonymous postcard attack against him. Brown, county clerk and dem ocratic candidate for Multnomah county commissioner, said the postcards were printed on an ad dressograph in the Walter J. Pearson-for-governor office here. Pearson denied any knowledge of them, but said the machine had been made available for all democratic candidates. Workers in the office said many had used it. They said they could not de termine who might have printed the cards. Democrats Richard L. Neuber ger and Austin Flegel, the latter a Pearson rival, asked the dis trict attorney to Investigate. Un signed political postcards are a violation of the corrupt prac tices act. The cards asked why Brown was running for commissioner when his present position of county clerk carries a higher salary. Thomas Mahoney, a Pearson supporter and a democratic member of the legislature, said he thought he knew who printed the cards, but he declined to name the person.

There were an estimated 2600 unemployed workers actively seeking employment In the Marion-Polk county area In April as compared to an estimated 5,000 in March. - Africultural activity centered in the hop yards and berry fields where cultivation was urgently needed. A total of 1943 work erg were placed in farm work during April as compared with 93 during a wet March.
