SEARS CATALOG departments - Fast measuring - See delivery - Choose A is Card Pilots Contrast in Personality St. Louis (U.R) Frank Lane and Fred Hutchinson, the new guiding spirits of the St Louis Cardinals, have only one thing in common: Both eat, sleep and drink base ball 24 hours a day. Otherwise, they're about as much alike as Yogi Berra and Adlai Steven son. Lane, the general manager, is excitable and outspoken. He's a nifty dresser with a sharp tongue that's almost always wagging. He's his own team's biggest sec-ond-guesser and he never hesi tates to "tell off" a player or even a manager at the slightest provocation. Hutchinson, the manager, is calm and quiet-spoken. He is a conservative dresser with a soft tongue that's almost never wag ging. He rarely second-guesses anybody and usually criticizes his players in private. Curious Combination It's a curious combination but it's bound solidly together by mutual respect for each other's baseball knowledge. Lane, who signed a three-year contract last Thursday, has been dubbed "Frantic Frankie" and "baseball's Trader Horn" be cause of his efforts to transform the chronic second-division Chi cago White Sox into a pennant contender.- He succeeded al though he never could quite bring them home in first place. As a manager for the Tigers, Hutchinson won a reputation for quiet efficiency and as a sound developer of young players. Also because he usually had a kind word for everyone even the Yankees.

The contract is expected to take the Cincinnati tennis ace all over the United States and later on tour in Europe. British Navy Orders Paddle-Wheel Washington The paddle- wheel boat, queen and drudge of a romantic epoch in Amer ican river history, is stirring up a new tradition in faraway vaters. Seven paddle-equipped tugs, each 15 feet longer than Robert Fulton's 130-foot Clermont, have been ordered by the British Navy. The Admiralty explained that old-fashiond paddle boats outperform propeller - driven tugs in pushing aircraft car riers about crowded dockyards. However, Diesel-electric engines will turn the paddles not steam. A few paddle boats still churn up frothy wakes on American waterways, but as an essential mode of river and lake transpor tation they are sentimental relics of the past. Ruled the Rivers Although the paddle-wheel steamboat reached its zenith as late as a century ago, its origin predates the Christian era. An ient Egyptians and Romans fitted war galleys with hand operated paddle wheels. In about 120 B.C., the Greek scientist Hero described a number "of steam contrivances,-including a turbine with a revolving globe. A 'Spanish naval officer sup posedly tried to propel a ship by paddles and a "vessel of boil ing water" in the 12th century. Progressing slowly, a host of ex periments in Europe and later in the United States anticipated the marvel of steamboating. Finally in 1807, Fulton drew upon the inventions of predeces sors to build the first practical, commercially successful vessel of These Pre-Opening DRYER 149.95 Value TO95 Fluff-dries or damp dries 8 pound washes.

On its maiden run, the Cler mont transported 14 passengers from New York to Albany, charging S7 a ticket. It traveled 5 miles an hour. Ironically, in view of the pad dle boat's new naval role, the old Clermont's major fault was its lack of maneuverability. The boat's very existence annoyed Hudson River sloop men who found great sport in ramming its paddles. Fulton later re built the vessel to improve its handling. Once the Clermont had proved its worth, splashing pad dles and hissing steam quickly ushered in the revolutionary form of travel on Long Island Sound, the Ohio River, New England coast, Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. "Steamboat Coming!" The cry, "Steamboat com ing!," echoed westward. Paddle boats carried settlers; great cities sprang up in wildernesses. Broad, shallow-draft steamboats bore countless cargoes of cotton down the muddy Mississippi. Travel on early steamboats was, at best, hazardous. The bottoms of. unimproved rivers lay uncomfortably close to the surface. Passengers chanced the dangers of fire, , explosion, grounding and the swift destruc tion of hulls on hidden snags. Competing steamboat lines some times kidnaped travelers. Rival skippers raced each other re lentlessly, with no apparent concern for the safety of their hapless fares.

Me Cormack today predicted a close presidential race next year if President Eisenhower runs again and a sure victory for the Demo crats if lie doesn't. McCormack also predicted the Democrats not only will keep control of Congress but will in crease their strength in both the Senate and House whether Mr. Eisenhower seeks reelection or not. McCormack, in an interview, estimated that Democrats will have a "good chance" of scoring a net gain of 12 to 20 seats in the House and three to five in the Senate. The Massachusetts Democrat said he anticipates a "wide open race for the Democratic presi dential nomination. He said re cently that he would not be sur prised if Adlai E. Stevenson failed to get the nod. There are several , "excellent candidates," he said, but he declined to spec ulate on who is most likely to win.

(U.R) Air Force recovery crews searched the desert expanses of Hollo man Air Development center to day for the instrument - laden nose of an Aerobee rocket which, was fired 70 miles into the sky last night in a so-called artific ial moonlight experiment. The experiment, which pro duced two glowing clouds clear ly visible 130 miles away, was called a success by Air Force re searchers. John S. Bedinger, the project physicist from Cambridge Re search Center at Cambridge, Mass., said the rocket nose prob ably buried itself in ,the desert somewhere near the center of the Holloman firing range.

Kept Choice Secret But Humphrey refused to state his choice between Stevenson and Gov. Averell Harriman of New York and Sen. Estes Ke fauver (D-Tenn.). Arriving in Tokyo Wednesday, Kefauver said he didn't know whether Stevenson is the front runner in the Democratic race. But another touring senator Allen J.
