Babe Would Be Rooting For Mickey New York UPJ "If the Babe were alive today he'd be rooting for Mickey Mantlee to break his record." That was the message sent to Mantle today by Mrs. Ba6e Ruth on the eighth anniversary of her husband's death. "You know how the Babe was." Mrs. Ruth continued. "He was jealous of no one. "As for me, I wish Mickey the best of luck. It's kind of hard for me to talk about the Babe' home run record. You under stand. The record has stood now for 29 years . . ." Mrs. Ruth gazed out the win dow of her apartment from where she could see the Hudson river below. She talked of how she had vis ited the Babe's resting place Sun- day at the Gate of Heaven ceme tery in Valhalla, N.Y. She sighed a moment and then, a little re luctantly, returned to. Mantle's chances of breaking Ruth's rec ord of homers in one season. Nothing Impossible "Let's see now," she said, "Mickey would have .to hit 19 home runs in the 41 games re maining to break the Babe's rec ord. Well, nothing is impossible. Records are broken every day, But it will be quite difficult. "I think the amount of walks he'll get will play a big part in whether Mickey breaks the rec ord or not. The year Babe broke the record he was walked 138 times. So far. Mantle has gotten 91 walks, isn t that so?" Told that she was correct, Mrs. Ruth went on: "Why I remember seeing Babe walked purposely with the bases full even though it forced in a run. I've often heard Ty Cobb and other baseball men say, "better four balls for one base than one ball for four bases.' Yet, I certainly think those pitchers won't make it any easier for Mickey. But batting both right and left-handed like he does, he has a wonderful chance." Walt Hafer, Machen Vie Portland (U.P) California's young Eddie Machen goes after his 16th consecutive heavy weight victory here tonight in a scheduled 10-rounder against Walt Hafer, a battle tested vet eran from Passaic, N. J. Machen, the nation's eighth- ranked heavyweight, has won 12 of his 15 fights by knock outs. His victims included well- regarded Nino Valdes.

The Klamath and Tule Lake refuge area in California will be treated as though it were in Oregon and will be given the same hunting season on water fowl as Oregon selects.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN A Niehol's Worth of . . . Comment On By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Prea Featqie Writer Washington (U.P.) My friend, Bob Loftus, of the National As sociation of Hbme Builders, has nothing much against the Russians ex cept their cab drivers. Bob has just returned from a long look at housing behind tne Big cur tain. Ham Mcbnli tauuies over there would make a New York cab driver look like a small boy in a Buster Brown suit riding down 5th ave. on a tricycle," he said. "There we were, on hand to prowl around and talk to hod carriers and painters and the like and we did a lot of our prowling in cabs. It was sort of a home and home deal. The Russians looked at our work in America; we were invited to look at their construction. All those Red driv ers do is run around with a heavy boot on the gas and a heavy thumb on the horn. It's conventional and nerve wrack ing." Tour 12 Cities .-. Bob hit 12 cities in Russia, in cluding Moscow, Leningrad, and Tbilisi, which was the late Josef Stalin's home town. The former leader's villa is at Lake Riza, up in the hills, and now is a boarding house for Rus sian workers. Loftus and his party attempted it by cab. These drivers would squeal their brakes around a mountain Southern Plains Scorched by Heat By UNITED PRESS Hot weather scorched the Southern Plains today today with no relief in sight from a heat wave.

The housing man who does, and always did, have a way with words, said the Russian hacker "cut things close." A Game To All "Russian pedestrians don't seem to worry," he said. "They seem to play it as a game to see how close they can come to an oncoming fender without getting blood on the driver's windshield. For some reason, ' though, there are few bad traf fic accidents." The group traveled some 6,000 miles in the Soviet Union by plane, river boat and car. The plane rides were interest ing for the Americans. The Rus sians provided two planes, the Russian version of our DC-3s. Pilots were good. Most of the landings were on grass strips. "The Russians feel that grass is safer to land on than con crete." Bob said. "And when we landed we had no seat belts. You could stand -up, if you wanted to." "We had no hops over six hours," he said. "We were served sliced cucumbers, toma toes, caviar and jelly fish. Filling enough in bumpy weather."
