PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor New York (U.R) Sal (The Barber) Maglie, the 39-year-old curve ball artist who has won so many crucial games in the past was called upon today as the Rrooklvn Dodeers and New York Yankees, all even at two each, met in the fifth game oi the World Series. Mafflie. who got the Dodders off in front in the first game at Ebbets field on Wednesday, was entrusted with the task of put tine the Brooks in front again while Case Stangcl, manager of the Yankees who smilingly ad mitted he "Is feeling much bet ter" sent Don Larsen, a fast ball righthander out to oppose the Brooklyn veteran. Larsen was unable to hold a aix run lead in the second game of the series, which the Dodgers won, 13-8, although he was ahead 6-1 when he was taken out of the box. But he left the bases loaded and he was charged with four of the six unearned runs the Dodgers scored in the second inning of that game. The sixth game will be played at Ebbets field Tuesday and if a seventh game is necessary it also will be played at Ebbets field on Wednesday. Both Stengel and Alston went with the same lineups they used yesterday when the Yankees, be hind the six-hit pitching of Tom Sturdivant evened the series at two games all with a 6-2 tri umph. The Yankees were favored 6'i to 5 to win today's game and 7 to 5 to win the series. That "Yankee stadium jinx" was very much in evidence Sun day when Tom Sturdivant sweated it out for nine innings to even the Series. The Dodgers never looked worse as they failed to take ad vantage of the fact that Sturdi vant allowed the first batter to reach base in seven of the nine innings and obviously was strug gling all the day. Carl Erskine fell behind, 1-0, in the first in ning when Collins hit a double and Yogi Berra singled and yielded two more- runs in the fourth when Alston made the first of his controversial deci sions. Slaughter Purposely Walked Mickey Mantle had walked to open the inning and stole second base as Yogi Berra struck out. With the score tied at 1-1 Al ston ordered Enos Slaughter purposely passed and Bill Mar tin promptly upset the strategy by drilling a clean single to left center, delivering Mantle and sending Slaughter to third from where he sec red on McDougald's sacrifice fly In the bottom of the fifth, Al ston also guessed wrong when he sent slow-footed pinch-hitter Al Walker up to bat for Erskine Honduras Police Fire On Demonstrators Tegucigapla, Honduras (U.R) Police opened fire on a crowd of election demonstrators Sun day, killing one person and wounding at least four others. Police refused to make a state ment and said they would not announce the number of injured until today when they could check hospitals. Police with rifles stood guard at the street corners in Teguci galpa to prevent just such dis orders from breaking out but a demonstration began in the late afternoon in front of the oppo sition liberal party headquar ters. The firing lasted at least five minutes. Correspondents saw at least five person fall wounded, including one woman shot in the leg as she ran. after Carl Furillo was safe on Andy Carey's error and Roy Campanella hit a single to start the frame. Alston admitted he was "hunching for the lone ball" but he guessed wrong as Walker hit into a double play. Mantle homered in the sixth. 430 fpt into the rizht center field bleachers and Hank Bauer walloped a two-run homer in the seventh to make it 6-1 as the Dodgers made their last bid in the ninth. Jackie Robinson's double, two walks and Campanella's pop-fly single produced one run but Sturdivant fanned pinch-hitter MEDFORDvSWTRIBUfrt STOUTS if- '-4 LH sseWi i' i' ' lit mi it issssl ' ' !

(International Soundphoto) The Family Council Editor's note The Fitnll-r Council consists of s Judge, a psychiatrist. tnree clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women I eoicor and two writers Taen article Is a summary of an actual report The Family Council does not give advice; It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Use Tribune Want Ads Easy, Just Dial 2-6141 Mrs. D. M. Our daughter Is brooding over a broken engagement. Cynthia M. I want to be left alone. Mrs. D. M. We are so un happy about our daughter. A year ago she was a happy girl, planning to be married in the spring. Suddenly she broke off with the young man and will ive no explanations. Ever since, she has stayed at home brood ing. She cries a lot. She does not want to go out with anyone, not even her old girl friends. Every one has tried to cheer her up, but she doesn't respond to any thing. I'm afraid she is having a nervous breakdown and needs to go to a psychiatrist. Our family and friends are all heartbroken about the broken engagement because this young man was exceptionally handsome and well off and comes of a wonderful family. Perhaps things can still be patched up. Cynthia M. I'm not having a nervous breakdown, but surely will if everyone doesn't stop bothering me. Everyone is dying to know why we broke off and wants so much to "patch things up" that I refuse to dis cuss it at all. After all, it's my private business. I don't want to see my old friends because they, ton ask me Questions or are in a terrible hurry to get me pair ed off with someone else. I don't feel up to going out with other men just now. My job takes a lot out of me and I am glad to rest at home at the end of the day. If I don't get some privacy, I'm going to leave home. The Council It is taken for granted a girl has a right to be mnnrlv and crv while she nurses her broken heart for a time af ter a broken engagement. Most n-nnt- and friends are prepared to respect this right, although they may cast anxious glances and make annoying little cneer up" gestures. But Cynthia has turned in a fire alarm with her secretiveness about the broken engagement. An engagement is a public dec laration of private feelings. If the declaration is revoked, the public becomes concerned and curious. Although it is not al ways possible to satisfy the cur iv nf the Dublic at large. Cynthia's parents, at least, are entitled to some explanation. Recause thev are kept so much in the dark, they develop all kinds of fears and. unable to offer any help themselves, think in terms of seeking outside help. Cvnthia's secretiveness has got ten her a lot of attention, which che mav hp eniovinc. The more pressure put on her, the less she feels inclined to give up an at titude which offers her some caticfartirm at this trvine Deriod. She should consider the reasons for the broken engagement might hln her to rlarifv her own mind and feelings, even if her parents can t agree with her. Any casual vnlanation will do as far as friends are concerned. The parents would do well to get over their regrets about the affair and cease all talk of "patching up." There is little likelihood of patching up a brok en engagement after a year. Cyn thia knows this and her parent's pressure gives her the feeling that they cannot possibly un derstand or help her. They should clear this up with Cyn thia, explaining that they are not pressuring her to reinstate a dead romance, but do want her confidence. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Kefauver Starts Eight-State Swing Washington (U.R) Sen. Estes Kefuaver put his campaign cara van back on the road today for an eight-state swing which takes him to the heart of the traditionally-Republican Farm Belt. The Democratic vice presi dential nominee launched his third campaign trip a 4,000 mile swing after criticizing ad ministration foreign policy and hammering away at President Eisenhower himself in a speech before a Zionist group here Sunday. - Vice President Richard M. Nixon spoke from the same plat form, but at a different time. The campaign paths of the vice president and his Democratic challenger will cross again dur ing this week when both address a corn-picking contest at Colum bus. Neb., Friday. Kefauver, departing from Washington in mid -afternoon, scheduled Dover and Wilming ton, Del., as the first stops on his new campaign trip. Later he will visit New Jersey, New Hampshire, upstate New York, Iowa. Nebraska and Kentucky, winding up in Tennessee where he will take a brief breather to visit his family. Kefauver ended the second leg of his campaign about 5 a.m. Sunday when his chartered plane flew in from Tulsa, Okla. He was dog-tired after the three 18-hour campaign days, but "very much encouraged" by the results of his trip. College Graduates Enlarge Population Washington (U.R) College graduates are contributing sub stantially to the nation's baby boom, the Population Reference bureau said Sunday night. "The no-child and the one- child family pattern so popular among college graduates a gen eration ago is being replaced by the three or more child family." the bureau's monthly bulletin said. "In this," it added, "the col lege graduate more closely fol lows the national trend than was the case a generation ago. To day's graduates are marrying younger and starting their fami lies earlier." Ransom Jackson and retired Gil liam on a fly to Mantle to end it. BOX SCORE: Brooklyn (NJ Gilliam. 2b ... Reese, ss snider, cf , 4 0 4 0 4 1 .3 1 Robinson. 3b .

On the bulletin board of the Dodger club house in Yankee Stadium, there is the cryptic message: "Good luck, Dodgers" Signed "Mickey." PITCHERS SHOULD BAT New York (U.R) Rival Managers Casey Stengel and Walt Alston might be better off forgetting about pinchhitters during the World Series and let ting their pitchers bat for them selves. Pinch-hitters have collected only one hit in nine tries for an inglorious .111 percentage in the Series, while pitchers have col lected six hits in 18 official bats for very respectable .333 mark. COUGH SLOWS REESE New York (U.R) PeeWee Reese is batting .333 in this World Series, but imagine how he'd be doing if he were healthy. The Dodgers' captain and shortstop has been laboring with a chest cold since the start of the classic. He has a hacking cold and plainly feels worse every day. It's a cinch he won't get any rest, though, for at least two more days. BASEBALLS SWIPED New York (U.R) There's no love lost between Coach Frank Crosetti of the Yankees and those bandsmen who tootle in center field before each World Series game at Yankee stadium.

The King listened was unimpressed. But red-haired Queen Isabella asked to hear more and came to believe in those ambitious dreams of Christopher Columbus.

Columbus would never have succeeded without the faith,, determination and practical assistance of a great and courageous woman. The same is true today.
