Mantle Gives Yanks Margin Lefty Kuzava, supposedly a choice morsel for the Dodgers' right hand hitters, blazed his fast ball down the groove in a 2 2-3 innings relief job to make the lead stand up. It was Mantle who gave Yankees their victory margin. He homered in the sixth to break a 2-2 tie and send the New Yorkers ahead for the third time in the up and down game. In the seventh he scored Gil McDougald from second with a single over Pee Wee Kesse's head. When Gene Woodling clutched Reese's fly for the final out this chilly, sunny afternoon, the entire Yank 'club descended on Kuzava, whooping and yelling with the joy of men who suddenly found themselves some $6,000 richer.

Taft (R-Ohio) today and said he couldn't see how anyone vote for a "whom Taft may lead around-by the collar."

Eisenhower, the Republican presidential nominee whom Taft is Lewis failed to mention Eisenhower by name, however, and did not express a preference between the GOP standard-bearer and Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, the Democratic nominee. "Some more of Taft later, perhaps," Lewis promised the wildly cheering delegates, "and those who look through the same gun barrel as Taft at the problems of the laboring people and the workers of this country." Lewis may follow the AFL and CIO in coming out flatly for Stevenson before the end of the 10- day miners convention, the union's first conclave in four years.

The Ohio senator hit at Truman in major speech of the day-a review of what he called "the low standard of public morality in Washington." In an address prepared for delivery at Zion, some 45 miles north of Chicago, Taft said: "Mr. Truman himself has said that he knows of no mess in Washington. Such a statement only shows that his whole standard of morafity is pretty low and Is In line with his condoning of the revelations so frequently brought to his attention."
