Farmer YaniW PiirlW MD Face5 ii.Guies uinner riaie By DAVE COHEN Vernon (Lefty) Gomez, once the clown prince in the court of the New York Yankees, riddled the dinner plate with anecdotes about his baseball days Sunday night before a large group of fans of the Klamath Falls Knife and Fork Club in the Willard Hotel. Gomez, who pitched for the New York Yankees during the era of Ruth, Gehrig, Koenig, Laz zeri and DiMaggio, won six World Series games without a defeat and won 26 games and lost only five during the 1934 sea son. And yet the "kid" who came off the California sandlots in the late 1920s to make a name for himself with the team that has become synonymous with base ball, remembers and with great satisfaction many of the funnier things that happened to him dur ing his career. Now with the sales and promo tion department of the Wilson Sporting Goods Company, "Lef ty" or "Goofy" as he was later to be called because of some odd behavior, led off by telling about the day he almost pitched his first major league game. Herb Pennock, a great pitcher for the Yanks and later a mem ber of the "Hall of Fame," was sailing along nicely, Gomez said, for seven Innings. It was during the 1930 season, Gomez' first year In the big lime. . The manager had told Gomez that he would be in the bull pen, ready for relief. "Well," Lefty said, "with two men on and one out, a line drive comes back through the box and Pennock is down. "McCarthy waves for me to come in . . . and It's a long walk and I'm thinking about how I wish I didn't have to pitch." As he neared the pitcher's mound he saw Pennock get up and the crowd applaud. "I'm so happy, I put my glove under my arm and I applaud too. "Then the skipper turns to me and says, 'That last ball tore the webbing off Herb's glove, Give him yours and go ,sit down.' " Oddly enough, Gomez claims his biggest thrill in baseball was seeing The Babes famous "call-shot homo run off Chica co s Charlie Root in the 1932 World Series. During the evening, the Contra Costa County native touched on stories dealing with all the Yan kee greats and some stories deal ing with his brief managerial role in the minor leagues. Despite his many comments about holding such hitters as Jimmy Foxx and other greats to doubles or triples, he admitted that he was over .500 for every club he pitched against in the majors during his career and gave clear indications that he enjoyed himself during his slay in the majors and in baseball.

Dues Paid To Unions Reported WASHINGTON (AP) - .With' some outstanding exceptions, la bor union membership costs turn out generally to be moderate. The first comprehensive study ever made of union dues and fees shows some workers pay as high as $1,400 to join a union in their trade. But this is a rare case. The initiation fee usually, is a fairly modest sum. Similarly, some monthly dues exceed $25 but most are below $4. Full data have become avail able because labor organizations now are required to submit sworn statements to the Labor Depart ment of the dues and fees they charge. Over 50,000 such reports are on file. The department's Bureau of La bor-Management reports says this is what they show: Dues More than half the unions have a monthly rate below $4. Three out of 10 charge $5 or more. Only about one out of a hundred charges $10 or more monthly dues. Initiation fees One of four o( the organizations charges $5 or less. Two out of five charge more than $10. One out of 10 charges $100 or more. Transfer fees Less than 12 per, cent of the unions charge such fees. They are collected when a member switches from one local to another in the same national union. Work permit charges General ly these are fees charged non members during temporary labor shortages to work at jobs normal "DENNIS. .TflCTWBSKi Parrot's Identity May Hinge On Slang PENSHAW, England (AP) -word, he's Mac.

Bigger Roads Asked By Solon SANTA Randolph IWSA Collier, (UPI) - Sen.

Merwin Coad, D-Iowa, said here Saturday night he had learned from reliable sources that this country's entire program of mis sile testing may have to be moved from the Cape Canaveral site be cause of the Cuban situation. Here for a Democratic congres sional rally, Coad said: "The Slate Department already is hold ing up missile and space (lights from there because they do not want any malfunctioning rocket to land on Cuba, which would set off an incident similar to the U2 spy plane last summer. "In addition, it also is reported that the Communists may be set ting up a telemetering station in Cuba' which would give them vital information concerning our tests at the Florida site." Coad said it now appears the Communists have "won another round in the cold war because these changes, in addition to cost ing untold billions of dollars, will also hamper and delav our de program beyond estima tion." Both the Defense Department and the National Aeronautics and Medal Given To Woman . PITTSBURGH, 'Pa. (AP) Mrs. Blanche E. Sutton, 49, of Grants Pass Friday was named winner of a bronze medal from the Car negie Hero Fund Commission. She was cited for saving the1 life of 4-year-old David K. Ben-I nctt of Bend, Ore., on Jan. 20, 1959. The citation said: "David, who could not swim, fell into Deschutes River fully clothed, was submerged briefly, and then was carried downstream by the strong current. There was no wadable water in the river, the bed and banks of which were strewn with boulders. Mrs. 'Sutton was attracted from her home! nearby and ran fifty feet to the river, removing one shoe as she ran. Although she had swum in frequently for twenty years, she dived into the near-freezing water without delaying to remove her other shoe or any additional cloth ing, Mrs. Sutton surfaced 15 feet. from the bank and immediately lunged toward David, who then was five feet farther from the bank in water eight feet deep. She took hold of David, who flail ed his arms. Maintaining her hold, Mrs. Sutton began towing David back to the bank but was impeded by her wet clothing and could pro gress only very slowly across the strong current carrying them downstream. By persistent effort Mrs, Sutton moved steadily to ward the bank, reaching it with David after swimming two hun dred feet. Both recovered from effects of the cold water." scientific projects that will cost more than the $9 million available for research during the current year, 1960-61. The society's 19B0 crusade brought in $28,400,000, said Dr Harry M. Weaver, vice president for research. It was substantially less than the crusade's 1059 total of $30,373,000. Research support will be reduced even more mark edly next year if more funds are not given, Weaver said. In another report at the sod ety's annual rneeting, Dr. Warren Cole of the University of Illinois said an experimental method of treating breast cancer has re-. duced the death rate in patients 60 per cent so far. Cole, who retires as society president at this meeting, said the method consists of medication with a potent anti-cancer drug nitrogen mustard before and dur ing the removal of the diseased breast by surgery.
