Aaron Rates
Maglie Tops
As Pitcher
By FRED DOWN
Brooklyn, N.Y. CUR) A ris
ing young star saluted a grand
old pro today when Hank Aaron
declared that 39-year-old Sal
Maglie "is still as good a pitcher
as I've ever seen."
"They say I didn't see him
In his prime," said the Milwau
kee Braves' 22-year-old Aaron,
who leads the National League
In hitting. "But I don't see how
he could have been much better
than he is today."
Dodger Manager Walt Alston,
who seldom grins or talks, did
both when advised of Aaron's
appraisal of the one-time
"scourge of Brooklyn."
'I guess Maglie'd be just as
accurate if he said he never
saw a better hitter than Aaron,"
Alston said. "That kid s just as
good a hitter as there is any
where in baseball."
The soft - spoken Brooklyn
pilot added that Maglie, acquir
ed in mid-season from the Cleve
land Indians, "has done a truly
great job for us."
Records Fool You
"The odd part is that it doesn't
show in the records," Alston
pointed out. "He's got a 4-3 won-and-lost
record with us but he
hasn't pitched a really bad game
for us. In fact, the worst game
he's pitched was a 10-5 win over
the Cubs on June 26."
Maglie pitched a three-hit
shutout against the Braves for
his first Brooklyn victory on
June 4 and Wednesday night
yielded only one run in 6 13
innings before being relieved by
Clem Labine in a 2-1 Dodger
triumph.
"He just moved that ball all
over the place," Aaron said.
"He'll curve you anytime no
matter what the count or the
score is. I don't know how often
he can pitch at his age but give
him his rest and he can pitch
that big game for you as well
as anybody I've ever seen."
Alston explained that Maglie
has been a key factor in the
Dodgers' battle to break back
into the National League pen
nant race.
"Pitching was our basic prob
lem when the season started,"
he said. "We lost Johnny Podres
in the Navy, Karl Spooner with
a sore and Billy Loes didn't
come through for us. In picking
up.Maglie, we added a pitcher
who has given us a fourth start
ing pitcher who can beat anybody."

Dodd Proposes National
Football Grants-in-Aid
By DON MAHTIJf
Greensboro, N.C. U.R
Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech
was sounding out a two-pronged
program today to clean up the
recruiting evils clouding the na
tional football picture.
The Tech tactician would es
tablish a national grants-in-aid
program and Immediate firing of
grid coaches if they violate a
standard code of ethics.
The Tech coach presented his
proposals at the North Carolina
Coaches association clinic meet
ing here this week. He said his
plan would stop colleges from at
tempting to operate an amateur
program with 18 and 19 year
olds on a "big business" level.
Dodd's plan:
1. Establish a national grants-
-in-aid program whereby a pros
pective high school player is
signed to a scholarship which
would be honored by all other
colleges in the country.
2. Have it understood by col
lege officials, the alumni and the
public that when a coach is hired
he must obey athletic rules and
regulations set up by the proper
organization ... or be fired.
"There is something wrong
with college football today," the
Tech T-formation wizard said.
"And I feel that it is really seri
ous. Five years ago you had only
a couple schools in trouble with
the NCAA and today you've got
a long list of them. It means
more and mpre schools are
undergoing the pressure of hav
ing a winning football team."

Russia Rejects
Japanese Demands
Moscow U.R) Soviet For
eign Minister Dmitri Shepilov
today -rejected Japanese de
mands for territorial changes
which they wanted included in
a proposed peace treaty now be
ing discussed. He said the terri
torial question already has been
settled.
The Soviet foreign minister
replied to the Japanese propos
als at a two-hour and 25-minute
negotiating session.
Shepilov said the territorial
question was settled mainly by
the Yalta agreement, which gave
the Soviet Union certain Jap
anese islands in return for its
part in World War II.
Japanese Foreign Minister
Mamoru Shigemitsu, who is
heading the Tokyo delegation
here trying to negotiate a treaty
to end Japan's technical state of
war with the Soviet Union, in
turn rejected Shepilov's stand.
He told newsmen after today's
formal session that "Shepilov
said Japan has no right to raise
any claims on territory occupied
by the Soviet Union."
"We cannot understand this
argument," he said, adding that
he told Shepilov that Japan did
not participate in the Yalta con
ference and that any agreement
made there could not be bind
ing on the Japanese.

New Military
Strategy Planned
Washington flJ.R) Gen.
Nathan F. Twining says the ad
ministration has decided on a
radical new military strategy
based almost exclusively upon
atomic weapons.
It was the first official con
firmation that -there has been a
top level decision to make a
change in defense planning.
Rumors of such a change have
been recurring, but the Defense
Department refused to confirm
them.
Twining, Air Force chief of
staff, made the disclosure in
testimony in June before the
Senate Armed Services subcom
mittee. A transcript of the hear
ing, censored by the Defense
Department, was made public
Thursday night.
Twining told the subcommit
tee flatly that "Our mind is
made up that we are going to
develop a new strategy built
around the use of atomic weap
ons of war."
He said the new strategy
means that "we could reduce
our forces considerably." This
lent weight to reports that the
administration is considering
cutting back the present 2,850.
000 man force by hundreds of
thousands of men in the next
few years.
Twining said the new strategy
"is the only way we can pro
vide the forces for the country
within a reasonable standard of
financing."

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN
McKeon's Jury Composed Entirely
Of World War II, Korea Veterans
Parris Island, S.C. (U.R)
The "blue ribbon jury" of six
Marine officers and one Navy
doctor that will decide the fate
of S-Sgt. Matthew C. McKeon
is composed entirely of veterans
of the battle fields of World War
II and Korea.
Four of the seven are "mus
tang'' Marines who earned com
missions while serving as enlist
ed men. Col. Edward L. Hutch
inson, senior member and pres
ident of the court, is a lormer
drill instructor, the same job
that McKeon held when he led
the "death march" last April 8.
Looks Like Movie Version
Hutchinson, a handsome, dark
complexioned man of stern face
and heavy build, looks like the
typical movie version of a Ma
rine colonel. Hutchinson enlist
ed in the Marine Corps in 1931
after two years in the U.S. Naval
Academy, and went through
"boot" camp here.
He was commissioned in 1934,
served on Samoa -and during
the bitter fighting at Tarawa
during World War II. He later
spent a year and a half in China
with the First Marine division.
Hutchinson is a native of Wood
bury, N.J.
Lt. Bentley A. Nelson, the
Navy doctor, is the junior mem
ber and the "baby face" of the
seven man board. Nelson, from
Salina. Kan., served as a surgeon
with Marines fighting at Pusan,
Inchon, Seoul, Hamhung and
Chosen in Korea.
The junior Marine on the
panel is Maj. John G. Demas,
who won the Navy Cross, Navy
Letter of Commendation and a
Purple Heart in Korea. Next to
the Congressional Medal of
Honor, the Navy Cross is the
highest decoration a Marine or
Navy man can win in battle.
Demas joined the Marines in
1942 and was commissioned in
1945 after completing the Navy's
V12 course at Muhlenberg col
lege. Maj. Edwin T. Carlton, a
toughlooking little leatherneck,
has 24 years service as enlisted
man, warrant officer and officer.
He enlisted in 1932. and was a
first sergeant when appointed to
warrant rank in 1942. He was
commissioned the following year.
Carlton holds the Bronze Star
medal and six battle stars for
World War II and Korean ser
vice. He is from Palo Alto, Calif.

PROTESTING THE HARD WAY Georgia State Di
rector of Corrections Jack Forrester demonstrates
how 36 incorrigible prisoners, swinging 10-pound
sledge hammers, broke their own legs. The convicts
were protesting against working conditions at Rock
Quarry State Prison in Buford. The penitentiary is
known as "Little Alcatraz" of the Georgia Penal
system.
Crippled Georgia
'Cons' Questioned
Reidsville, Ga. U.R) State
legislative investigators of mass
leg smashing at a rock quarry
prison visited a penal hospital
today to question some of the
41 crippled convicts.
The inmates of Georgia's
"Devil's Island" for incorrigibles
smashed each other's legs with
20-pound sledge hamers. Fellow
convicts told the investigators
Thursday the mass torture was a
protest against brutality.
State Sen. D. B. Blalock and
his joint Senate-House commit
tee began questioning the mu
tilated prisoners to follow up a
public hearing Thursday at the
scene of the mass tortures.
Guard Doyal "Boss" Smith,
whom the convicts accused of
brutality, admitted striking
some of them when they
"bucked" him.
The convict witnesses said
White and Negro convicts took
turns smashing each other's legs
at the rock quarry last Monday
and Tuesday in protest against
beatings and other cruel treat
ment by guards.
Only one of the victims, the
last to undergo the sledge ham
mer ordeal, smashed his own
leg. X-rays showed 34 victims
with broken bones.
The committee in all ques
tioned seven convicts chosen at
random at the rock quarry,
keeping their identities secret
to shield them from possible reprisals.
