Dizzy Dean used to and so did Art Shires, a glib-talking first baseman of an earlier era. Like Dizzy Dean, Bo Belinsky seems to have the talent to go with his tongue.

Shires did not. If nothing else, Belinsky has brought color back into the game, which has been too cut-and-dried in recent years (with the excep- tion, of course, of the Roger Maris story of last year). Ruby Goldstein As a footnote to the inquiry by f- the chess championship of the I world has taken some radical turns, and the tourney is not yet half over. The first shock was that I Bobby Fischer lost three games quickly and remember that he I had been undefeated in the last two tournaments in which he par-: ticipated.

Ruby Goldstein, the referee, has been queried on the fight. It develops, on the basis of studying the fight pictures, that the entire blasting of Paret by Emile Griffith took 17 count them, 17! seconds. It was in that brief period that Goldstein had to make his decision. He insisted that he moved almost at Call Ma at foTlftj-TrtfVbJVLr ouriftf "i BR. 1-4171 304 E.

Slowly, Fischer returned to form and with his four defeats has managed to win five times, more than any one els; (at the end of the 12th round). And he was in fifth place. There are 28 rounds in all, so Fischer can still come all the way back. But the results have been startling thus far.

At this writing, Ewfim Geller of the Soviet Union, with three wins, nine draws and no defeats, heads the field, but look for more changes with each passing round. Jfime and Jews By David Schwartz WASHINGTON This is not a tale of international intrigue and evil intent, although some may want to read more into it than is justified by the facts. Rather, it is a case of slipshod thinking and probable Jack of concern for the feelings of others. More pointedly, it is another painful reminder that one of the world's most powerful nations continues to sit by impo-tently while some foreign powers heap insult on a segment of its citizens. This, then, is a story of how the Government's official tolerance of Arab nation boycotts against American Jews almost exploded here recently with embarrassing consequences.

Scheduled Middle East Tours All plans are off now, but earlier this year the staff recreational associations of the Department of State and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare both strictly unofficial organizations, it should be noted had scheduled Middle East tours this summer for vacationing travel-minded department employes. Included in the proposed itinerary were visits to Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan of which the latter two bar Jews. Promoted only within the var- 1 ious internal channels of each de-1 partment, the tours received little attention outside the agencies in-' volved until one employe of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare brought them to the attention of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee here. A I few pointed questions followed, and before anyone knew what had happened, tour plans were canceled. Association officials now say that lack of applicants helped prompt their being called off.

But whatever was the major reason for cancellation, the effect has been to turn a potentially serious incident into a clear victory for the forces of anti-discrimination. The alert and incensed HEW 1 staffer had pointed out that the i Department's employe association was sponsoring a tour for which the agency's head Secretary Abraham Ribicoff would not have been eligible. Red-faced association officers admitted that this ludicrous situation was true and promptly notified the Lebanese-owned American Middle East Travel and Transport Co. the travel agency which was to handle all travel arrangements that the tour was being canceled. "Just Caught Napping" An association spokesman last i week had no excuses.

"We were just caught napping," she said. JUNE IS NOT much of a month as far as history is concerned. The first Continental Congress began its deliberations in June, it is true, but it did not decide on independence until July rolled around. No President of the United States was born in June. However, it is the favorite month for brides and what girl would not rather be Bo Belinsky This fellow is a fast-talking, boastful lefthanded rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, who is burning up the American' League.

So far he has displayed brilliant form, twirling shutouts and, miracle of miracles, a no-hit, no-run game! The question has been asked of me frequently: "Is he Jewish? I have learned that he has a Jewish mother and a Polish father. I am doing more detailed research on him and hope to be able to report more fully on him in a later column. Meanwhile, he is the talk of baseball.

Yet that is not the reason why the poet wrote, "What is so rare as a day in June!" I suppose every one who has gone to public school knows that line.

I asked nearly a dozen people. Every one was familiar i '-A bluest blood in Europe. We drove them into a corner but they had their revenge as the wronged are sure to have it, sooner or later. They made their corner the banking house of the world and from thence ruled it." As will be seen, there is a kind of catch in the last line. Persecution made the Jews the bankers of the world.

It doesn't seem so in New York with its large Jewish population, I am told that among the great banks of New York City, the Jewish directors of banks are as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth and all over America, as far as my knowledge goes, the banks are usually run by good Presbyterians, Catholics and hard shell Baptists and the like, very seldom Jews. THE ANTI-SEMITE frequently likes to find Jews in everybody. In recent years, the haters of Roosevelt liked to say he was a Jew and some of the extreme reactionaries even denounced Eisenhower as a Jew. James Russell Lowell had no such anti-Semitic motive. The fact is when it comes to judging other races, most of us are apt to make very broad generalizations unwarranted by the premises.

The man who does not do so, is in my opinion, even rarer than a day in June. CLASSIFIED "We were not aware of the situation.

A day in June is rare indeed! The one thing James Russell Lowell seemed to think as rare as a June day were Jews. THE AMERICAN critic, James Huneker, of a generation ago, was always discovering great Jews. One day his mother said to him, "Jimmy, one of these days you are going to come home and tell me that Christ Himself was a Jew." James Russell Lowell had the same quirk.

Of the total, according to the speaker, Michael Goodman, executive director of the Jewish Vocational Service of Miami, about 1,200 of the Cuban Jewish families have been resettled through the efforts of HIAS in various parts of the United States. As soon as it had become apparent that there would be an influx of Jewish refugees from Cuba, Mr. Goodman reported, joint planning had been undertaken by a number B'nai B'rith Youth Hold Leadership Training Institute The annual leadership training institute of Wisconsin Region B'nai B'rith Youth Organization was held recently at Camp Anokijig, Plymouth, Wis.

But in retrospect, she conceded that such an assumption was "probably incorrect." It would, she admitted, "have undoubtedly caused embarrassment" if a Jewish member had applied for the tour either to make a cuase cele-bre, or in complete ignorance of the Arab-imposed travel bans. Learned a Good Lesson The incidents, happily, have not been without heir lessons, and, incidentally, economic consequence for discrimination-practicing Arab countries. Spokesmen for both employes associations now say that future travel plans will carefully avoid any countries where all of its members are not free to travel.

the Middle East since 1956 because of restrictions against Jews. Non-Jewish Teachers Complaint This policy, he said, has resulted in considerable grumbling among non-Jewish teachers whose complaints are mounting that the As- sociation is practicing "discrimination in reverse" because the policy keeps touring teachers from visit- iug the Holy Land. If teachers want to express their1 righteous indignation, however, they should direct it to their government which tacitly condones' bias against American Jews not to their Association's board of directors which has stated clearly and unequivocally that it takes a position on the side of equality fori all I He insisted that Browning was a Jew. Why? Just look at his face, he answered and besides. Browning "once wrote a Hebrew line in one of his poems which he later erased." Leon Gambetta, the French statesman, was a Jew to Lowell.
