It was the second time in two weeks that Skelton arrived at the San Francisco Internaional Air port on a "wing and a quip." Like his first performance two weeks ago, when his plane was forced to return with engine trouble shortly after take off for Honolulu, the red haired comic kept his fellow passengers amus ed with his antics and remarks. Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning, plane Capt. William Thomas radioed San Francisco that he was having trouble with one engine and was routinely "feathering" it in other words, turning off the bad engine. As a "precaution," the Coast Guard dispatched an amphibian patrol plar.e to escort the clipper.

National League President Warren Giles. said the penalty, effective immediately, was for "remarks made to Pinelli and intentional body contact." - The order originally called for a four-day suspension but was reduced to three days after Hutchinson and General Man ager Frank Lane made what they called "strong protests." Denies Bodily Contact Hutchinson denied any bodily contact with the umpire. He said he was standing in front of Pinelli and "he tried to walk through me." The Cards manager was chased from the park by Pinelli during the argument over the umpire's decision which result ed in a shower of paper cups from the stands. The incident arose in the seventh inning when Cardinal Outfielder Bobby Del Greco hit a looping ball to the left field bleacher wall which was caught by a fan. Hutchinson ran out to Pinelli and claimed it should be a home run since the fan had not leaned over the wall to catch it. Pinelli ruled it was a two-base hit.

MEDFORD (OREGON) Top Policy Maker Leaves Conference San , Francisco (U.R) An of- fical of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People revealed Satur day that top NAACP policy maker Thurgood Marshall walk ed out on a committee meeting but denied Marshall was quit ting the association. Questioned about a report that Marshall stomped from a meeting of the resolutions com mittee last night and told by standers that he was "quitting" the NAACP, Executive Secre tary Roy Wilkins admitted there had been an argument and that Marshall did leave. However, he said that he be lieved a statement that Mar shall was through with the as sociation was in error. . "Marshall made no such state ment to me, to the board of directors or any portion of the convention," Wilkins said. He said that Marshal, who also is chief counsel for the NAACP, had told a resolutions committee member that he was "qutting" his seat on the com mittee. Wilkins said the dispute took place between Marshall and several delegates, primarily from New York, in the resolutions committee when the delegates insisted on a anti-segregation housing resolution Marshall felt was too strong. Marshall was not available to confirm or deny the "quitting" reports, as he flew out of here early Saturday for Denver, where he is to address the Links Club, a woman's organ ization. Only five cities that had reach ed 100,000 population by 1920 ever suffered a decline in popu lation. They are Omaha, Neb., and Fall River, New Bedford, Lowell and Wilmington, Mass.

Craig Hosmer (R-Calif) Saturday labeled as a "giveaway" as Democratic-backed plan to block a rate boost for Public Power cus tomers of the Southwestern Pow er Administration. Hosmer said the power is now being sold to REA co-operatives and other public power groups at a loss. He said the loss "would come out of the general treasury or the pockets of future users." "We've got a giveaway situa tion here," he told a House In terior subcommittee. Assistant Interior Secretary Fred G. Aandahl said unless Southwestern Power Administra tion increases its rates to -io-ops, it will take 78 to 100 years to pay off the cost of the big public power project.
