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.

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

As a success, Joe apparent
ly feels underneath that ha

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

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

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."

Armed Forces Recruiters
Support Auditorium Move
The first organization in the community to report 100 per cent
personnel membership In the Salem Memorial Auditorium asso
ciation is the Armed Forces Recruiting Service.
A progress bulletin from the association says the army-air
force recruiting made the first move and was quickly followed
by the navy and marine re-'
cruiting staffs.
Questionaires are being placed
into the hands of all organiza
tionscivic, veterans and patri
otic in the Salem area, to get
an expression of opinion from
them as to their needs, both
present and future, and the ex
tent to which they would avail
themselves of auditorium facil
ities. The information will be
passed on to the advisory coun
cil to aid it in its deliberations.
The association reports for
April the addition of 47 individ
ual memberships, two sponsors,
eight organization memberships
and 11 business concerns.
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.
Spring Demand High
For Farm Workers
Spring farm work, long delay
ed, got under way during April
and as a result the demand for
agricultural labor was very high,
reports W. H. Baillie, manager
of the Salem office of the state
employment service.
Additional employment in
creases In the lumber Industry
and construction field, helped
reduce unemployment approxi
mately 50 percent.
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.
Retail trade was reported as
improving as Industry limbers
up and payrolls increase, but
local merchants report cautious
buying with quality goods more
and more in demand.
