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

Missile Site

BELMOND, Iowa (API-Rep.
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."

PITTSBURGH, 'Pa. (AP) Mrs.
Blanche E. Sutton, 49, of Grants

She was cited for saving the1
life of 4-year-old David K. Ben-I

1959.
The citation said:
"David, who could not swim,
fell into Deschutes River fully

and then was carried downstream
by the strong current. There was
no wadable water in the river,

strewn with boulders. Mrs. 'Sutton

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

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.
