Stop the Dodgers or give up.
That was the rallying cry around
the National League Tuesday.
The Dodgers, who left for a
Western road trip 2V4 games be
hind the Giants, suddenly mus
cled into a commanding position,
five full games in the lead and
ready to take on all comers.
Monday night they looked like
dead ducks until the seventh

roared from behind as Peewee

eighth Roy Campanella clinched
it with a two-run. homer and

Loafing Charged
Carpenter blamed the club's
fall on the lack of hustle, and
his particular ire was aimed at
Hamner for passing up tough
chance in the field. He accused
the shortstop of loafing Friday
on a ball that might have gone
for a double play instead of a
base hit.
The Phils owner backed up
his manager, Eddie Sawyer, to
the hilt.
"There's nothing wrong with
Eddie," he said. "It's the lack
of hustle. There's not a chance
anyone will take Eddie's place.'

Carl Furillo provided still two
more runs with another homer
to make it 6-2.
The Dodgers, who have lost
only one game on their Western
road swing, thus were in a
better position than they were a
year ago at this time when they
had a 31-18 won and lost record.
Tuesday they were 35-11.
In the American League, the
Red Sox increased their margin
to a full game over the idle
Yankees by topping the Tigers,
9 to 8. Boston came from behind
twice, scoring the winning run in
the sixth on an error by ex-Red
Sox infielder Johnny Pesky.

seven weeks of the campaign in

the fastest man in baseball; and
manager Bill Sweeney finally

Realtors Divided On
Good To Come From

Lifting of Controls
BY UNITED PRESS
The nation's realtors were di
vided Tuesday on just how much
good the relaxation on controls
on house down payments would
do for the prospective home
owner.
Some thought it would be
beneficial. Others said it was too
small to do much good.
The Federal Reserve Board,
which Monday loosened the con
trols effective Wednesday, stood
by to see exactly what would
happen. The board was alert to
tighten things up again should
the situation get out of hand. :
There was a general feeling
among realtors, however, that
the easing of Regulation ' X
would benefit potential small
home owners and those seeking
high-priced homes.
Nobody much thought it
would bring any great change to
the middle-priced bracket the
$15,000-$20,000 class.
Z. L. Majors, former president
of the Dallas Real Estate Board,
greeted the news enthusiastically.
'Many sales will be made
which had been held up because
of down payments," he said. :
Realtors at Montgomery, Ala.,
hailed it as the best news
we've had all year. It'll let more
persons buy homes.
"It's what we've been looking
for," said Fred C. Lucks, con-
tractor and president of the
Home Builders Assn. at New
Orleans.
"Regulation X was hard on
middle-income group the very
backbone of our nation," he said.
Under the new order, veter
ans will not be required to make
any down payment on homes
under $7,000. Non-veterans must
put down S instead of 10 per
cent as before.
Hostility Shown
Some builders and real es
tate men greeted the action with
downright hostility.
"The government sure didn't
break its back in reducing down-
payments on homes," said Jerry
Madigan, executive director of
the Home Builders Assn. of
Greater Cleveland. "They should
have dropped the entire regula
tion."
