Giants Eye
Stieglitz
Phoenix, Ariz.-fUPD-The San
Francisco Giant veterans con
tinued to thump the ball hard
today, but it was a hefty
rookie who hogged the spot
light.
He's Al Stieglitz a 24-year-old
catcher who has launched
an all out bid to make the
varsity this season.
In 1954, the "Omnibus"
television show starred Stieg
litz in a documentary film
about a rookie hoping to make
the big-time. Now, Stieglitz
may have fulfilled this pre
diction. .
' Two Catchers
The Giants have announced
that they plan to keep two
catchers this season. One will
almost certainly be Bob
Schmidt, the hard - hitting
rookie of 1958 who figures
to be even better this year.
He bats from the right side
of the dish.
For the number two spot,
Stieglitz is battling Hobie
Landrith, a stubby seven-year
veteran acquired from the St,
Louis Cardinals this spring
Both are left-handed batters
and both have been slugging
the ball all week as if their
job depended on it. It un
doubtedly does. -
Stieglitz is a 200 pounder
who hails from South Caro
lina. He hit .319, .251, .314
and .296 in his minor league
Campaigns, which were inter
rupted by a three-year hitch
in the Navy.

McKee made a show of it
in the overtime by pumping

Paul Layher sank another

Child Evangelism
Week Observed in
Valley This Week
Child Evangelism Week is
being observed in several
Medford churces this week.
Sponsored by the National
Child Evangelism fellowship,
the week is being observed
between Feb. 22 and March 1.
The Child Evangelism Fel
lowship is a service organiza
tion, seeking to reach un
churched children through the
establishment of Bible classes
in the home, according to lo
cal representatives.
The Bible classes, known
as Good News ..clubs, are be
ing held in every state, and
Canada, Mexico and 60 other
foreign countries.
Twenty classes for children
sponsored by the local Fel
lowship are held in Medford,
with volunteer workers from
several churces serving as
hostesses, teachers and help
ers. The classes consist of
Bible lessons, visualized stor
ies and songs, and Scripture
memorization, representatives
said.
Guided by Committee
The work is guided by a
committee of local residents,
of which Sam Oetinger is
chairman. Mrs. Nina Gains is
director of the work and in
charge of weekly training
classes for workers.
The leaders and workers in
this inter - denominational
youth organization reported
that two-thirds of the children
in the United States are not
attending any Sunday school
or church.
J.-Edgar Hoover is among
those who have commended
Child Evangelism for its con
tribution toward combating
juvenile delinquency.
According to the local di
rector, Child Evangelism
seeks to serve the church by
tion time after Phil Sword
had converted one free throw.
From there the hard pressing
Owls got control on three oc
casions and made the best of
things.

SOC had a nine point lead
at halftime, 32-23, but the
Owls quickly narrowed the
margin to 38-36 on buckets by
Layher, McKee and Norm Ol-
iva with seven minutes gone
in the second half.
The Raiders managed to
stay ahead and even moved
out to a seven point gap at
one time before they began to
crumble. Even in the overtime
SOC was cold, missing eight
of 11 shots from the field
McKee led all scorers with

but the Owls put the ball up
more and hit 30 field goals to
the Raiders' 28. OTI also

Morse, Neuberger Part off Newly
Formed Political Bloc in Congress
B7 A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington - (Special) -
Oregon's senators, Wayne
More and Richard L. Neu-
berger, .have
become part
of a newly
formed politi
cal bloc which
many obser
vers regard as
p o t e n tially
the strongest
unit of voting
iower in the
ht smith current con
gress.
This is the group of western
Democratic senators whose
number was greatly augment
ed by the results of last No
vember's elections and the
admission of Alaska as a
state. Thev now outnumber
the southern Democrats, the
other regional bloc within the
party which has long held a
commanding position.
After the new group was or-
granized, with Sen. James E.
Murray (D-Mont.), as cnair-
man, the senators from two
states that border the West
asked to join. Since Sen. Lyn
don B. Johnson (D-Tex.), the
powerful leader of the Sen
ate, was one of tnem, tne
group was enlarged and made
that much stronger im
mediately.
Representing 14 states -Alaska,
Washington, Oregon,
California, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Utah, Nevada,
Colorado, Arizona, New Mex
ico, Texas and Oklahoma -
the bloc has 23 Democratic
senators. There are only five
Republican senators from
these states. The possible ad
misison of Hawaii will in
crease the number to 15.
South Wields Authority
The old South continues to
wield great authority in the
Senate through the seniority
of many of its senators who
are chairman of standing com
mittees. But the West is gain
ing. Of the 16 standing Sen
ate committees, southern Sen
ators head 9 of them, western
senators head 6, and the only
other chairmanship is held by
a senator from Missouri. No
committee is headed by
senator from the most heavily
populated sections, the North
east or North central states.'
While there is no doubt
about the increased power of
the western bloc, there is con
siderable uncertainty over
whether its power can be mo
bilized except on rare occa
sions. The reason for the un
certainty is that western sen
ators are divided on many
issues. They are not expected
to have the unity which has
often characterized the sena
tors from the "Solid South."
About the only single issue
the western bloc is "solid"
on is federal spending they
want more of it than the Ei
senhower administr ation
wants. They will be found
among the advocates of in
creased federal aid for air
ports, housing, highways,
schools.
But this position does not
distinguish them as western
Democrats, ' for many Demo
crats from eastern states take
this same stand with equal
vigor.
United on Wafer Study
The only distinctively
"western" issue on which
they have thus far demon
strated unity is a proposal by
Sen. Mike Mansfield (D
Mont.), for creation of a
Free Movie Program
Slated lo Start
A free movie program will

the title of the 12 installment
serial to be shown. In addi
tion to the feature show there
also will be cartoons and edu
cational films.
Chairman of the free movie
program at the YMCA is Miss
Mimi Jones of Medford High
school. She is assisted by the
high school Shutterbug club.
The movie program will be
shown twice daily to assure
boys and girls involved in
the classes an opportunity to
