MDFORIVaTRlBUNE Schoendienst Signing Puts Others on Spot By UNITED PRESS Red Schoendienst's sudden signing, coupled with a warn ing that the Milwaukee front office will stand firm against its holdouts, put heavy pres sure today on the Braves' nine remaining dissatisfied players. Schoendienst, key man on the Braves' infield, agreed to terms in a long-distance tele phone conversation with Gen eral Manager John Quinn. He is believed to have won a rise to $40,000 after a season in which he hit .309, wal loped 15 homers and drove in 65 runs. Schoendienst's signing was the third "big one" of the day. Earlier, Mickey Mantle got his $75,000 from the New York Yankees and Roy Sie vers his 536,000 from the Washington Senators. It also followed only a few hours after Braves' President Joseph F. Caines warned many Braves "are asking a lot more than they're worth." Long Holdout List Lew Burdette, the World Series hero, tops the holdout list which also includes pitch ers Bob Buhl, Gene Conley and Don McMahon; infielders Frank Torre, Johnny Logan and Felix Mantilla, and out fielders Wes Covington and Bob Hazle. "Trouble" is the players are using the world championship as a i talking point," said Ca nnes. "Of course, Burdette won three games in the World Series. But a lot of people for get he didn't have as good a regular-season record in 1957 as he did in 1956." Carines said he wouldn't interfere with General Man ager John Quinn's negotia tions but added: "We feel they already have been com pensated for the World Series by those $8,900 Series checks." Rumors Denied By Rademacher Columbus, Ga. (IP) Heavy weight Pete Rademacher flat ly denied reports today that he is negotiating for a fight with big Mike DeJohn of Syra cuse, N. Y., under Interna tional Boxing club promotion. Pete, who was knocked out in the sixth round of a title fight with Floyd Patter son last Aug. 22, declared, "I see no reason for accepting an offer to meet DeJohn or anyone else at this time when I feel certain a return match can be worked out with Pat terson."

Sri : - M- J Seal Anhydrous Ammonia WITH THE NEW JOHN DEERE NH3 APPLICATOR HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE Montreal (IP) The Mon treal Canadiens their 10th National Hockey league cham pionship clinched at one of the earliest dates in history may write a grand climax to their fabulous season by equalling or setting four league records. The Canadiens mathemat ically wrapped up the title when they whipped the To ronto Maple Leafs, 4-1, Thurs day night to give them 85 points in 60 games. The second-place New York Rangers would finish with only 84 points if they won their last .11 games and the Canadiens lost their last 10. But Coach Toe Blake made it plain that he'll do every thing he can to keep the Ca nadiens "up" for the Stanley Cup playoffs and that could mean a netfull of new marks for his team. Near All-Time High By scoring 23 goals in their last 10 games (only 2.3 per game) the Canadiens will equal the all-time mark of 236 set by Detroit in 1950-51. By winning seven of their last 10 games the Cana diens would equal Uie record of 45 wins in a season by the 1955-56 Montreal club. The Canadiens' current record is 38 wins, 13 losses and nine ties. Eight wins from now un til the end of the season would enable the Canadiens to equal the 1950-51 Detroit club's mark of 101 points in a season. The Canadiens' current margin of 23 points over the second-place Rangers is only one point fewer than the all time winning margin of 24 points established by the 195-56 Montreal club. Six or seven more victories proba bly would be enough to give them that mark. AMERICAN LEAGUE The Hershey Bears are a happy and thankful team to day happy to be back in un disputed possession of first place in the American Hock ey league, and thankful that they won't have to play the Springfield Indians again this season. In the only league game Thursday night, the Bears nipped the Indians, 3-2, on Arnie Kullman's goal in the "sudden death" overtime pe riod. Cleveland has a chance to gp back into a tie for 'the top spot tonight when it meets the Providence Reds on home ice. In the only other action tonight, Buffalo is at Roches ter.

Riverside Phone SP 2-401 1 Schools Approve NCAA Football Television Plan Kansas City, Mo. (IP) The National Collegiate Athletic association announced today its 1958 football television plan had been approved over whelmingly by member schools. The NCAA said the Nation al Broadcasting company had been granted rights to carry the nine national televised games. NBC, which has telecast the series the past three years, will be required to submit a schedule of games for the na tional dates within two weeks. Near Sam as 1957 NCAA Executive Director Walter Byers said the asso ciation's membership voted 194-14 to approve the plan, which is identical in most of its basic features to the plan which has controlled telecast ing of college football the past two seasons.

'Climax' TV Like Subject - By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York (IP) Albert An astasia, a bum and no-good-nik' in life, got what he de served Thursday night: a bum and no-goodnik TV drama based on his death. Anastasia, of course, was the adult delinquent who worked as the chief execu tioner of Murder Inc. He was gunned down in a Manhattan barber shop last October. CBS-TV's "Climax" took up the threads of Anastasia's life and wove the thinnest and most transparent of fab rics, a clumsily didactic piece, heavy in the telling and stiff in its attempts to tie up the ends neatly. A Most Primitive Device The dramatic device used in telling the Anastasia story was of the most primitive kind a TV performer de cides to build a program on Anastasia after the hood lum's death and then details the life of Anastasia in a se ries of flashbacks. Out of this nonsensical play-within-a-play game the sketchiest possible account of Anastasia's life with the crud est' kind of devices used to further the action newspa per headlines, radio broad casts and conversations be tween the TV performer and his associates. ' And naturally, "Climax: fell into the usual pit when it stuffed Hollywood-type gang ster phrases into the mouth of Anastasia. Examples: Canary Couldn't Fly After the death of a talka tive witness "Ah, the canary could sing, but he couldn't fly." Or, the other gangsters cowed by the law "Da mo ment da heat goes on, every body gets "da chill." I wonder if in the history of the world anyone has ever really talked like that except on paper? I should add that Eli Wal lach, an actor I much admire, labored hard and believably LOW COST... i info Your Soil Civilian Control of Space Exploration Proposed Washington (IP Vice President Richard M. Nixon today placed the administra tion solidly behind civilian control over the exploration of space. At the same time Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy said he can't see any military advantage in bitting the moon with a rocket, but his depart ment will try it before "too long." Missile expert Krafft A. Ehricke speaking at the Air Force Jet Age Conference, proposed construction of a "chemo-nuclear" powered space ship weighing 900 tons that could be launched from the earth by 1970 to land on the moon and circle Mars. Nuclear Pil For Power Ehricke said his freighter sized space vehicle was de pendent upon the Atomic Energy Commission coming up with a system of feeding liquid hydrogen to a rocket engine which has a nuclear pile as its energy source. The remarks by Nixon and McElroy pointed up one of the current questions before Congress: Whether civilian or military authorities should at tempt the peaceful conquest Show Just No Good in the role of Anastasia, but he simply didn't have much to do. Don Ameche, Ted De Corsia and Doe Avedon also labored hard, but not as be lievably. Airlines Strike Temporarily Averted Washington (IP) A strike against Eastern and United Airlines set for Sunday was temporarily averted today by Presidential action. The 1 President Thursday set up a special fact-finding board in the case. Naming of the board prevents a strike for 60 days. The International Assn. of Machinists AFL-CIO planned a walkout against Eastern and United. According to the White House the union planned to take similar ac tion later against Trans World, Northwest, Northeast, Capital and National Airlines. The President's order was based on the Railway Labor Act. Members of the three- man fact-finding board will be named later. Negotiations were broken off between the union and air lines. Frank Heisler, airline coordinator for the machin ists, said the union is asking wage increases ranging from 29 to 49 cents an hour. Male college graduates in 1956 had an average starting salary of $400 a month, about twice what the 1947 graduates commanded. Use of atomic power was predicted by H. G. Wells in 1894. NOTHING TO DO!

The Defense Depart ment has been given author ity to run the U.S. space pro gram for a year, pending a decision. It is important," Nixon said, "that our own outer space development be under the control of a civilian agency because control of space development by a mili tar yagency can only mean that peaceful exploration of space will assume a minor role." v 'Successful Application' The vice president, speak ing in Cleveland, said the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) lab oratory there was "one very successful . application of the civilian role" in science which with perhaps some modifica tion could be applied to- the nation's space program. McElroy told Congress the Defense Department is "in terested in the moon as an ob jective, but mostly for psycho logical and scientific reasons. I can't say how-soon we are going to hit it, but it shouldn't be too long." 4-H CLUB NEWS Rogue River Dairy Club The Rogue River Dairy club met Feb. 15 at the home of our leaders, Ed and Betty, Parsons.

Knowland (R-Calif.) predicted Thursday that the Senate will follow through with a quick endorsement ot the House's unexpected appro priation of $20,000,000 in ureent supplemental money for the Trinity River and Glen Canyon Reclamation Projects. Knowland told a news con ference that the Senate may approve the additional appro priations for the two projects as early as jiext week. Trinitv is part of Cali fornia's Central Valley Pro ject and Glen Canyon is a unit of the Upper Colorado Project.
