BVSSDJG. ACGT6T LttANON DAILY NEWS, LEBANON, PAV ELEVEN LukeAppling Will Tie Record In Game Tonight Br toax MCCAFFERTT ImeniatioBal Jfewm Service Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA, Today Stop the presses for a (lash from Luke Appling, baseball's "old man endurance" and widely-heralded "Mr. Aches and The ancient I Chicago White shortstop 1 who tonight wilt tie Rabbit Maranville'c I durability ree- 3rd for scooping 1a grounders I Teased up today (that "it just i ain't about his creaking bones. Said the 40- Appling year-old Chisox veteran: nothing -wrong with me. i'vs never had any ailments I guess always been a pretty healthy specimen." The record attests to Appling's statement, incidentally.

He'll equal Maranrille's endurance record ot 2,153 games at shortstop In White Sox game with the Senators. Tonight in Washington, providing eld'man weather doesn't Interfere. Luke's de'nial that he's a chronic ease of creaking joints and protesting muscles is startling when you realize that for the 19 years he's been playing shortstop he's been called "the moaner." A1 -w a s. Appling has complained to his teammates about a sore arm, a stiff neck, an aching back, or what hare you. Yet always during those 19 years Luke's been a star, perhaps the best hit- run man in the game.

But Luke, who says he'll keep pursuing grounders "as long as they're willing to put up with me," insisted that he really does "begin to hurt when I start working." And the soft-spoken Southerner added: "Bat then, I broke into baseball with aches and pains." The. first time he ever had on a glove, Luke explained, his uncle fired a fast ball which went rignt through Appling's hands and hit him smack on the nose. Said Luke: "Ive been hurting ever since I'm playing. I fesl fine until I start working, though." On at least two occasions over his long span ot shortstopping, however, and pains" weren't imaginary. Twice he's broken a leg on the diamond.

Appling's laments about his ailments, of course, have become legendary and whenever his mates hear him complain. about "feelin" especially terrible today," it's tsken as a guarantee Luke will have a good day at the plate and In the field. During his "ailing" days. Appling's record reads like this: Lifetime batting total American League batting member all-star teams four times. Popular Luke, the only shortstop a generation of Chicago fans has ever seen on a White Sox team, was humble as he heard the endurance record.

He said simply and sincerely: "Baseball has been mighty good to me. I guess I've just been lucky. "Everybody's been so good to me that I've really enjoyed playing baseball all these years. "I hops I live long enough to play 19 more." And that's a sentiment echoed by millions of baseball fans all over America, many of whom feel that Appling has done as much for the game as any player in history.

feu) we face the situation as it exists in fact," Acheson said. He declared a "realistic" appraisal cf the situation shows that the only alternative would be "fall scale" U. S. intervention in China and "the probable participation of American armed forces sea and the resulting war." Acbesoc added: "One point is. however, clear.

Should the communist regime lend itself to the aims of Soviet Russian imperialism and attempt to engage in aggression against China's neighbors, we and the other members of the United Nations would be confronted by a situation riolativs of the principles of the United Nations charter and threatening international peace and security." President Truman has said the paper is being published now so that the administration's policy in the Far Bast "shall be based on informed and intelligent public opinion." Acheson also swung heavy verbal blows against the communists in China. He said they have "fore- sworn their Chinese heritage" and announced their subservience to the Soviet Union. The secretary declared that Russia "under czars and communists alike." has tried, to control' the Far East for the past 50 years. Referring to Soviet aid to the communists. Acheson reported: "W'hen the Russian troops did begin tSeir evacuation (of Manchuria), the Nationalist government found itself with extended lines of communications, limited rolling' stock and insufficient forces to take over the areas being evacuated in time to prevent the entry of Chinese communist forces, who were already in occupation of the countryside.

"As the communists entered they obtained the large stocks of materiel from the Japanese Kwan- tung army which the Russians had conveniently 'abandoned'." Just after the war, Acheson said, the Nationalists wers "weakened, demoralized and unpopular." He added: "They had quickly dissipated their popular support and prestige in the areas liberated from the Japanese by the conduct of their civil and military officials. The communists, on the other hand, were much stronger than they had ever been and were in control of most of North China. "Because of the ineffectiveness of the Nationalist forces -which was later to be tragically demonstrated, the communists probably could have been dislodged only by American arms. It is obvious that the American people would not have sanctioned such a colossal commitment of our armies in 1945 or later." Acheson said the "failures" of the Chinese Nationalists do not stem from any inadequacy of United States aid. He declared "A large proportion of the military supplies furnished the Chinese armies since V-J Day has, however, fallen into the hand of the Chinese communists through the-military ineptitude of the Nationalist leaders, their defections and surrenders, and the absence among their forces of the will to fight." The document also published for the first time an acknowledgement of his government's weakness by Acting Chinese President Li Tsung-Jen.

Last May 5, Li wrote to President Truman in appreciation of American aid. He said "All this was unfortunately rendered fruitless by the lack of sincerity on" 1 the part of both the then government and the Chinese communists.

It is regrettable that, owing to the failure of our then government to make judicious use of this aid and to bring about appropriate polities', economic and military relorms, yoar assic- tance has not brought about desired effect. "To this failure is attributable the present predicament in which onr country finds itself." The white paper cited 186 documents, many of which had not been previously published, and recounted tile numerous L'. 3.

Mediation Missions sect to the Far East. These missions include those of Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, Vice President Henry A.

Wallace, Gen. George C. Marshall, and Ambassador J. Leighton Stuart as well as Wedemeyer's. Hurley, enroute to the Far East, once reported that he had received assurances in Moscow Marshal Stalin that Russia would support the Chiang regime.

This report said Stalin had the highest regard for Chiang as a "selfless patriot" and the Russian leader also had promised to try to. bring about a settlement between Chinese Nationalist and communist forces. Ambassador W. Averell Harriman, who had been present at the meeting, however, reported to the State Department that Hurley had given a 'too optimistic" report on the conversation. Harriman said that Stalin would not cooperate indefinitely with Chiang, but would "make full use of and would support" the Chinese communists even to the extent of setting up a puppet regime in Manchuria and possibly North China.

Marshall's mission was a tiring effort to bring about peace between the warring factions which ended in failure. It has been fully reported. He finally retired to become Secretary of State. The White paper also revealed that President Truman expressed his dissatisfaction with the Nationalist regime in August, 1946. In a message to Chiang, referring to the Marshall mission, Mr.

Truman said: "It would be less than honest if I did not point out that the latest developments have forced me to the conclusion that the selfish interests of extremists elements, both in the Kuomin- tang and communist party, are obstructing, the aspirations ot the people of China The people of the United States view with repugnance this state ot affairs." Chiang replied that the communists were seeking to used armed force to take over the government. He admitted that there had been some mistakes made by the minor Nationalist officials, but that they were insignificant compared to the offenses of the Reds. Other highlights of the -white paper were: 1. The American Chamber of Commerce in Tientsin reported that the city had been taken by communists armed almost wholly with arms and other equipment "handed over practically -without fighting" by Nationalist forces. It recommended against the one billion 500 million dollars China aid bill pending in Congress.

2. Stuart last April reported that the Nationalist regime had asked that military supplies and silver be sent to Hongkong. Stuart had replied that there were ample military supil'es in warehouses. He said: "The problem was that the generalissimo controlled the greater share of the national treasury reportedly stored in Taiwan and that through his appointed governor of Taiwan he also controlled the warehouses full of munitions there." 3. Stuart said that natives of Formosa, where Chiang has set up headquarters, are more highly developed than any continental Chinese and feel that they are merely occupied.

He said their economy is being exploited by the Nationalists while the natives are excluded from holding any important public posts. Wedemeyer reported that they would be receptive to United States guardianship under a United Nations trusteeship. 4.

It is certain, however, that large stocks of Japanese equipment were abandoned in Manchuria in such a way as to enable the communists to gain possession of them.

Kafstfon Babiclt Soys She Still Loves Husband Who Killed Htr Younger Sister Vatxtola for Xktox- aMtoBal medal Coojr- riffkt ia or MILWAUKEE, Today My bridegroom of one week bad just, told me how he killed roy sister. I felt numb. A thousand memories of Pat rushed through my head. Sixteen, a year younger than I. she had been both my playmate and closest friend.

All my life, we had shared everything. I loved her dearly. But deep in my heart were lodged all my memories, too. ot Milton Babich. I knew he had never done a wicked deed in his life.

He was a model sou. an outstanding student, a devoted lover and husband. With no exception, be was respected by everyone in our community. I knew he w-; incapable of deliberately Irv.rting anyone. Whatever had happened, 1 was sure (then and now) that it was accidental, an unconscious slip of the hand.

And all the preparations, getting the gun, the date tor the part of an act to impress Pat with the impelling necessity to keep silent for the sake our family names: As time passed, my conviction of Milton's innocent participation in Pat's death strengthened. During the ten weeks between Milton's confession and the opening of the trial 1 was constantly pressured to desert him. My mother at first seemed understanding. But detectives kept coming to the house, twice or three times a week. They kept reminding my mother of her loss, telling her that she really had sacrificed two daughters, not one.

They urged me to divorce Milton prison. It was too much for Milton, because he was a sensitive person. Too many emotions were bottJed up ia him. During his trial, I prayed far Miltc-u to break down, to show the jury what I knew was true: that he felt as deeply as everyone else involved, was not the ''cold! b'ocded killer" the prosecution called him. But it was all choked inside him.

When I visited him in jail between court sessions, he said to me: "I can't let go. When I walk into the courtroom. I freeze up. My heart is like a great stone inside me, but I can't let them, know how sorry, how unhappy li am about all this." Each day, public sentiment pyramided against Milton, and the jury was out only 90 minutes before it returned with a verdict of murder in the first degree. The judge sentenced Milton to life imprisonment at Waupun Penitentiary.

The verdict didn't bring Pat back to life. Milton is serving life imprisonment. His parents have exhausted their $3.000 life savings in his defense, as well as Milton's 11.300. I am without my husband, and our child without her father. We will continue striviag for his release.

I don't know even where we will get the JS2.500 cost of the transcript, needed to file sn appeal. 1 hope and cry and pray. Meanwhile, I will livs with Milton's parents in West home place where people now frankly at me in horror and disgust. I will live here until Milton is released from and "make a new life." I refused to see them any more. But when the trial opened they had made a bitter prosecution witness of mother.

Not that there was any further evidence she could give against Milton. But the emotional impact of her grief was a strong factor in his conviction. To reporters, my mother said: "Why should I help Milton? He, murdered my. Pat and ruined Kathleen's life. I want to see him get his.

I have a job to do and I going to do it." To me. it was a triple sister was dead, my husband about to be sentenced to life my mother lost to me also. Before the end of the ten-day trial. I had moved my clothes and layette to the Babiches. There I will remain.

I love my parents; I feel deeply about the dreadful heartaches they have endured, and for which I feel as responsible as Milton. Today. I still visit my family 'home. My mother is -polite but not cordial. My father doesn't speak to me at all.

I hope my daughter not yet very many days old will help restore our torn relations- My younger brothers and sisters, whom I helped raise, are still affectionate toward me. A ii the lessons I have learned in the past ol tragedy is the importance of letting children grow up in an atmosphere ot love and understanding. A child often faces problems that are too big for him. He makes mistakes. Parents should regard these mistakes as part of the learning process.

Then the child will seek help when he makes mistakes rather than conceal them. Parents should love their children for themselves. In Milton's case, he tried to give his parents and teachers what they expected of him. He loved his parents and felt -that what they wanted, he should want too. But their attitude was so authoritarian he was afraid to exhibit any'weakness.

The strain can be too much. Cowhand Kills Rodeo Judge, Bystander (Continued Trom Jess Slaughter jumped on Frizzell and yanked the pistol out of his hand. A bunch ot cowboys dashed up to help Slaughter. Sheriff Bob Wolf locked Frizzell in the county jail. Frirzell was charged with murder in both deaths.

Wolf said the shooting an argument that had occurred ahoiit two hours earlier between Frizell and Jones. Jones was standing near a group of cowboys in front of the judge's stand. A dog trainer was working his animals back toward the judge's stand as his act neared ts As Jones watched the dogs. Slaughter said. Frizzell walked up to him, stopped about 10 feet away and fired.

Jones fell. Frizzell advanced '0 that he stood over the rodeo judge's body and fired again. Witnesses disagreed whether one or two more shots were fired. "When I grabbed Frizzell and took his gun away from him. I saw Carl Myers fall over on the ground," said Slaughter, now county juvenile officer.

Sheriff Wolf said Myers was killed by a bullet that hit him- the thigh and ranged upward. Myers was dead on arrival at a hospital. Wolf said that Frizzell. about 35. made a statement at the jail.

The sheriff said that after Kriz- zell and Jones argued, the cowboy left the rodeo grounds. He got a Kim and crawled over the 'ence, to get to Jones, the sher- said.
