John McHale Appointed To Tiger Post Detroit (U.PJ Johnny Mc Hale -was promoted to general manager of the Detroit Tigers Tuesday and like his predeces sors Charley Gehringer and Herold D. (Muddy) Ruel, he didn't waste time with talk. Less than two hours after Mc Hale was introduced as the Ben gals' fifth general manager in the last six years, it was an nounced that he had made a trade with the Boston Red Sox, obtaining outfielder Karl Ol son and sending utility man Jack Phillips to the Red Sox' San Francisco farm club. At 35 McHale is the youngest general manager in the majors. When he couldn't make the grade as first baseman with the Tigers he was offered a job in the farm system after the 1947 season. 10 Years Grooming The grooming process has tak en 10 years. McHale was assist ant to first Red Rolfe and then Ruel. When Ruel moved up to the general managership in 1953 the native Detroiter was made . head of the farm system. McHale played baseball and football at Detroit's Catholic Central High School and Notre Dame. He signed a Tiger minor league contract in 1941. His best years were in 1945 when he hit .313 and 1947 when he clouted 27 home runs, both a Buffalo Gehringer will act as an advis or to McHale, Tiger President Harvey B. Hansen said. Gehrin ger also is a vice president oi the team. Hansen also said that club Secretary-Treasurer Harry M. Sisson was elevated to exec utive vice president. Hamia Beats Bobby Bell Montreal U.R Smiling Hamia, a pocket-size Marcel Cer dan, predicted today he will beat Hogan (Kid) Bassey of Ni geria for the weatherwelght championship following his me thodical 10-round decision over unranked Bobby Bell of Youngs- town, Ohio. The fast, sharp punching Trench-Algerian scored his 33rd victory in 35 fights Tuesday Bight with a wide margin vic tory over the crafty Bell. The fight drew a somewhat disappointing 7,228 paid admis sions in what was billed as the revival of boxing in this once lively fight town after a lapse of four years. However, promo ter Eddie Quinn offered to put up a $50,000 guarantee or 60 per cent of the gate to stage the Hamia-Bassey fight out doors this summer. .siPdDimrs 1 Aft ;33S " 5 I ; Court Records DimiCT COURT Arthur George Haiuon, violation of basic rule. 115 Donald H.

Byrd (D-Va.) saW today President Eisenhower should re place Budget Director Percival F. Brundage with "a man that's dedicated to cutting the budget." Byrd,' chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and a leader of the conservative Southern Democrats who have supported much of the Eisenhower pro gram in the past, went after Brundage's scalp in a hard-hitting speech before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Unnecessarily Wasteful Byrd said the President's new budget is "unduly and unneces sarily wasteful, and Mr. Brun dage prepared it." He said it would be "very helpful" if the President got a new budget di rector pledged to "economy in stead of finding new ways to spend money." Brundage declined to com ment on Byrd's remarks. Byrd coupled his attack on Brundage with a proposal that federal spending be cut by $8 billion, to clear the' way for a tax cut of $6 billion dollars. Eisenhower Plans Speed President Eisenhower mean while informed Republican con gressional leaders that he is con sidering going to the people in a nationwide radio - television broadcast to present his side of the budget controversy. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said Eisen hower brought up the subject at this morning's legislative confer ence with congressional leaders. Hagerty said the President "feels there has . been a great deal of misinformation spread about on many matters, particu larly the budget," and he plans to "do what he can to correct it." Hagerty said no definite plans have been made, but Eisenhower is considering "going on the air in a radio-TV talk to the Ameri can people," or perhaps even a "series" of talks. Eisenhower is particularly anxious .to defend his $4,400, 000,000 foreign aid program, which has become the chief tar get of congressional economizers out to slash his budget. Supports Foreign Aid The President described for eign aid today as a "vital en gine" needed to keep the ship of state on a "steady course" to ward peace. He made that state ment in an impromptu talk to representatives of the League of Women Voters who called at the White House. He told the women that he wants to reduce spending and taxes as much as anyone in Con gress, but is opposed to cuts in the foreign aid program which would jeopardize the cause of peace. Byrd in his speech brought into the open the sharp criticism which many congressional con servatives have recently been voicing against Brundage. Not Demanding Dismissal . Byrd told reporters after the speech that "I am not demand ing that he (Brundage) be dis missed it is not my place to do so." He said he did not mean to tell the President what to do about members of his own offi cial family. "But I do want a budget di dector that's dedicated to cutting the budget," he said. Senate Republican Leader Wil liam F. Knowland of California told reporters after the White House legislative meeting that many GOP leaders "felt it advis able" for Eisenhower to "make his views known" on the budget cutting controversy by some method other, than his regular news conferences.
