TAMJPA the busiest men you see in any baseball training camp at this stage of the spring exercises are the equipment people, the peddlers of bats and gloves and shoes and anything else a player might need to keep him happy. It's a big "business. Among the more successful individuals in this relatively un dividuals in this relatively un known field is Hal Schumacher who Was a great pitcher for the New York Giants back in the '30s' when, that team also boasted a couple of other workmen named Carl Hubbell and Freddie Fitzsimmons. Hal is an official of a somtf- what new and thriving bat-making concern located at Dolgeville, N.Y. Each player is free to order the make and weight of bat he likes, so it is Schumacher's job to convince the athlete that it is his bat, and his alone, that has a .332 average built into it.

His bats are all made of ash, incidentally, as are most of those turned out nowadays by other manufacturers. It is more resilient than hickory which once was standard. "Each player has to be practically hand- fitted with a bat," Schumacher said. "It isn't likely that you'll ever find two played on' a club using bats of the same specifications. That's the thing they are most particular about.

They're really nutty about it. "Some are bat breakers and some are not. There are some that will use up two or three dozen in a season! I don't believe that Bill Terry ever had more than three a season, he met the ball so squarely. The ones who break 'the most of them do not keep a firm grip as they connect. A pitcher with a sharp sinker ball also will break a lot of them I was pitching I guess Babe Herman used up more bats than anybody Where Terry could get by with three a year, the, Babe might break that many in "day." 'Schumacher did not volunteer to name any of his better customers today.

The Bepublicans campaigned in 1952 on a promise to get Commu- nits out of the government. Some are talking of making Commu- nists-in-governmcnt a campaign issue again this year in the November congressional elections. The Democrats, with a large por ilical stake in the actual number disloyal persons found, have demanded exact figures.

Newsmen have asked for figures a matter of public information. The latest information, given yes- erday by Chairman Philip Young the Civil Service Commission, itill didn't provide an answer. He told the Senate's Civil Serv- ce Committee 2,427 "security risks" had been removed from the payroll Be- publicans. But he said he; didn't whether a single one had fired subversion pr communism. He had gathered his from the vhich did the fiing after the made up of Democrats and Republicans, asked him for answers.

A little later Sen. Monroney (D-Okla) said: guess the only way we are to find Out is by asking each of the security officers in the agencies." Eacy agency has an official charged with getting rid of those found to be security risks. Some Of these security officers have been questioned by other congressional committees.

And some ot their information has been vague. This is the background: In 1947 former President Truman set up a program for getting Communists or people who might injure the country out of government jobs. It was a double kind ol program: 1. Loyalty This was to get rid of Communists or fellow travelers In any government job or agency. 2.

Security This was to get rid of certain kinds of people like drunks, homosexuals who might be blackmailed, or blabbermouths when found in a very limited num- of agencies which had secrets involving national security, like Defense and State departments and the Atomic Energy lommission. When President Eisenhower came into the White House he gave to Atty. Gen. Brownell the job of drawing up a new kind ot program. Last April Eisenhower produced the program.

It abolished the two classifications of Truman the distinction between loyalty cases and security problems lumped both in one, called a se- eUrity Under this a Communist, drunk, homosexual, a person convicted of a felony or misdemeanor or a blab bermouth could be fired as a security risk any place he was found in''the government, whether or not his agency dealt in secrets. Total figures on those released thus would not show how many were Communists and how many fell into other classes unless the administration provided a breakdown. Last October the White House, in its first announcement, said 1,456 security risks had been fired. The President on Jan. 7 upped the figure to 2,200.

She was hurt; she was angry she was helpless. Even the weather was in Eleanor's favor. Because now it was beginning to rainy-and the red dress which wore, was probably not hot at all. In contrast to the bare, summery costumes, it looked more suitable all the time.

Besides, a single girl, even at thirty-past, could look as seductive as she chose. It was appropriate for her to "set a mantrap." On the other nand, Shelly must play down her youth and beauty because she was married. As Myra said, alt women might Indeed be out to "catch men." The thing was, they mustn't seem to be doing that tr they were decently marrieo. Shelly nad to watch ner behavior, ner appearance. She nad to attend this party in a dress guaranteed not to attract notice, and must spend the evening with Her nusband's family and their friends, forgetting that she was a young and beautiful woman.

That was required ot her, even though Stephen had set his wife upon a whatnot shell, and gone on about bis own affairs. The dance band was beginning to play In the lounge: several of the gayer young folk were moving in that direction. Craig rose, and held Eleanor's chair; they walked out of the dining room. It was a wonder the woman didn't trip, the Way she walked, her head tipped up so that her eyes looked only into his dark, intent face "D'you want to dance, Shelly asked E2.J. She started, and then, coming to a sudden decision, rubbed her bare upper arms with her cupped hands.

"I want to," she said quickly, "but I think I'll go get a jacket. I'll not be dance with Kate, and save one for me." Before anyone knew she was gone, she had slipped out to the verandah, down the steps to her car and was speeding it down the road. She could at remove the handicap ot her drab dress! Whatever had possessed her to buy such an old-lady garment? She whirled into the house, and up to her room.
