Communist China of trying to undermine the negotiations and warned this could have "dangerous consequences," The attack, latest in a se ries of bitter exchanges, was printed in today's edition of the Communist party news paper Pravda shortly after Belgian Foreign Minister Paul - Henri Spaak reported that Premier Nikita S.

Mays drove in that tally with an infield out to tag Sunning with the defeat. Larry Jackson of the Cubs, the second of five National League pitchers, was the win ner. The Tiger tosser was on the hiil in the unlucky fifth when he opened it by walk ing Tommy Davis. With one out, Yankee second basman Bobby Richardson failed to hold a force-out toss, i and Davis romped an ta third and ivxays kqc mm. m as ae ccoucia - . . . ... , . ed out to first base.
