Dresscn Has Rebuilding Job To
Get Senators Out of AL Cellar
Los Angeles (U.R) Manager
Charley Dressen has a building
problem on his hands if he hopes
to get the Washington Senators
out of the cellar in the Ameri
can League but he isn't dis
couraged. "If we can get a couple of fel
lows we have in mind, and if
some of our young stock comes
through, we'll make a good run
for the first division this year,
said chipper Charley at his home
here.
Dressen pointed out that the
Washington club had a run of in
juries and ill luck last year that
aren't likely to be duplicated.
"Lyle Luttrell was going good
in the outfield when his jaw was
broken," Dressen said. "Then
shortstop Pete Runnels had ap
pendicitis; and Eddie Yost had a
bad year, and wg blame that on
his tonsils, which have now been
removed."
Dressen is optimistic about the
chances of some of the new talent.-
"I "understand Karl Olson is a
real fine outfielder if he gets a
chance to play," he said: "We
hope he'll be our regular center
fielder." ' Olson was obtained in the deal
with Boston in which first base
man Mickey Vernon nd pitcher
Bob Porterfield were sent to the
Bosox.
The Nationals also got three
promising pitchers in Al Curtis,
Truman Clevenger and Dick
Brodowski, and outfielder Neil
Chrisley.
McAFEE HAS SON

McAfee, wife of the football
end of the New York Giants,

ston rookie end with the Chi
cago Cardinals, will undergo an
operation on his right knee to
day. He injured the knee while
working out with the college
all-stars last August and was
hampered by the injury during
most of the 1955 season.
SPORTS
Carlos Ortiz
Beats Portilla
New York (U.R) Light
weight Carlos Ortiz, a kid from
the East Side's teeming Gas
House district, will become a TV
fight favorite, Promoter ' Tex
Sullivan predicted today because
of the class he displayed while
winning decisively over Ray
Portilla at St. Nicholas arena
Monday night
Unbeaten Ortiz, 19, won his
.13th straight professional bout
on a lop-sided eight - round de
cision over heavier and more ex
perienced Portilla of New York
in . his first television appear
ance.
He displayed exceptional
hand speed,-good power and un
usual countering ability; but he
lacked poise, was awkward with
his leads and appeared too anx
ious to score a kayo. He was
favored at 13-5.
Scaling 135 pounds to Portil-
la's 141, Ortiz won by round
scores of 6-2, 5-2-1 and 6-2. His
solid left jabs, left hooks and
straight rights shook up Portilla
several times but could not put
him down. In his eagerness, he
missed often with his Sunday
punch.
HOCKEY
Montreal (U.R) Tod Sloan
of the . Toronto Maple Leafs
made the biggest gain in the Na
tional Hockey League scoring
race during the past .week, tally
ing four' goals and a pair of as
sists.
Sloan iumued from eighth to
sixth place in the standings with
a total of 35 points.
But Sloan's big effort still left
him 11 points behind pace-set
ting Jean Beliveau. The Mont
real center was credited wiin
two assists last week and now
has 46 points. Teammate Maur
ice Rocket Richard could do no
better than Beliveau and re
mained four points behind in
second place.
Detroit's Gordie Howe ad
vanced to third place with a
four-point effort in two games to
increase his total to 41 points,
the same as New York's Andry
Bathgate.
Montreal's Bert Olmstead
dropped a notch to fifth place.
Sloan was followed by Dave
Creighton of New York, while a
Detroit trio of Alex Delvecchio,
Earl Dutch Reibel and Red Kelly
rounded out the top 10.
Pacific Island Rat
Study Under Way
Davis, Calif. (U.R) Under the
project name, "Pirate," a three
year study of Pacific island rats
now is underway.
The study is directed by Dr.
Tracv I. Storer, University of
California zoology professor
here.
The relationship of rats to the
place in which they live will be
studied in the eastern Caroline
Islands. Life on a "high" island
Ponape will be studied in re
lationship to the way rats live
on "low" islands represented by
atolls adjacent to Ponape.
The -study's objective is to de
termine how damaging rats are
to agriculture and to public
health. Some of the information
may be applicable to rats in the
United States. In the Pacific,
however, they breed faster and
it may take a shorter time to get
the desired data.
OFFICE MINNOWS
Union City, Tenn. (U.R)
Pete Vincent shares his down
town office here with a couple
of bullfrogs and a vat of min
nows. Vincent set up a vat to
keep the bait minnows handy
for quick fishing trips, and now
two bullfrogs have moved in
with the minnows.
The U. S. is now the third
largest exporter of rice.

reported in good condition as he
was transferred to Coast Guard
cutter and brought to share,
Riggs, who was found floating

Photograph Proves
Unique Fish Story
Madison, Wis. (U.R) This is
the kind of fish story that sel
dom gets beyond the circle of
anglers who are trying to out-do
each other with slightly embroi
dered tales.
But Keith Ackley of Madison
came back with a photograph
as proof. He was fishing at Alle
quash Lake in Vilas county
when he hooked a walleyed
pike. Just as he reeled the fish
toward the boat, a muskellunge
grabbed the walleye, which Ack
ley estimated weighed three
pounds.
Ackley let his line go slack,
thinking the musky would get
smart and spit out the hooked
walleye. But the big fellow
swallowed the pike instead and
Ackley landed a 26-pound
musky. '
His photograph shows the
musky, its insides opened, with
the still ' recognizable walleye
in the stomach.
About 4,000,000 U. S. cars
were scrapped during 1954.
Gradual Increase In
Employment Expected
Washington KU.R) Govern
ment economists predict" that
employment will rise some more
in the first half of 1956 but not
with the leaps and bounds of
1955.
At the same time, paradoxi
cally, the possibility of growing
skilled labor shortages is crop
ping up, particularly in the air
craft, machinery and metals in
dustries. For the second half of 1956,
economists are more ' uncertain.
Secretary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks has said he is "confident"
that business activity will in
crease in the first six months.
For the remainder of the year,
he said he 'optimistic."
Following the job slump in
1954. employment rose by a
spectacular 5,340,000 in the first
eight-months of 1955. A record
65,489,000 persons held jobs in
August. This was 1,800,000 more
than the previous record set in
August, 1953.
Unemployment started out in
1955 at 3,347,000, the highest
level for the month since 1950,
rose against slightly in Febru
ary and then declined to a low
point for 1955 of 2,131,000 in
October. This was still almost
900,000 higher than the postwar
unemployment low of 1,240,000
in August, 1953, but 600,000
lower than in October, 1954.
Economists expect the jobless
total to rise again, perhaps to
the 3,000,000 mark, and then
start down next spring.
