The Milwaukee Braves, winter book favorites as the strongest challengers to the Dodgers in '54, ajso took a long step toward solving their battery problems as righthander Bob Buhl and Del Crandall, their No. 1 catcher, signed contracts.

It was a remunerative day for the batterymen all around both leagues yesterday. Other pitchers who signed up were Bob Turley, the Baltimore Orioles' promising young righthander; Hector "Skinny" Brown, who had an 11-6 mark for the Boston Red Sox; Dave Koslo and Al Cor-win of the New York Giants; rookie right-hander Tom Hurd of the Chicago White Sox, up with a 17-11 record from Memphis; and Al Aber and Bob Cruze of the Detroit Tigers. Catchers signed in addition to Crandall were the veteran Walker Cooper, who caught on with the Pittsburgh Pirates after his release from Milwaukee, and Forrest "Smoky" Burgess of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Tigers also signed infielder John Baumgartner. The Pirates released pitcher Jim Waugh to New Orleans to make room for Cooper, and the Red Sox opti.ned r- tfieller'Gene Stephens to Louisville.

FRIDAY 9:30 A.M. OXLY HEY KIDS! 0 with favorite By Kip Watson New York (JPi. If the "Brooklyn Dodgers could beat the New York Yankees in October the way they do in February, they could fly a world champions' flag over Ebbets field. The Dodgers, as you may remember, have lost to the Yankees five times in five tries in the World Series, but they're running way ahead of the Yanks in the pen-and-ink department. With the signing of pitcher Carl Erskine yesterday, the Brooks completed contract negotiations with the top five pitchers within 12 days.

They now have 29 presumably contented players and first baseman Gil Hodges is the only unsigned regular. The Yankees, well, catcher Yogi Berra's signed document is in the Stadium safe, but the world champions have signed only 19 players in all. And most of the regulars have yet to come to terms. Erskine, who set a World Series record when he struck out 14 Yankees in the third game of the '52 classic, reportedly received a substantial boost, over his supposed pay last year of $18,000. The Indiana right-hander probably got around $25,000 for winning 20 and losing six last year.

The Dodger pitchers began falling in line January 29 when Russ Meyer (15-5) agreed to terms. He was quickly followed bv Billy Loes (14-8), Preacher Roe (11-3) and Don Newcombe, a 20-game winner NEA Telephoto REMEMBERS HIS CODE President Eisenhower taps out the alphabet on telegraph key in the White House radio-television room to open the 3rd Annual International Trade Fair in Seattie.

The bare-chested Lancaster uses all the tricks he learned as a circus acrobat in making this swashbuckler, and he has as his co-star the lovely Joan Rice, an English beauty who starred in "The Story of Kobin Hood. The romantic melodrama por trays Burt as a skipper from South Carolina who is tossed overboard by his mutinous crew. Washed ashore on a remote island, he is nursed back to health and soon dis covers that the many coconut trees contain a fortune in copra, which the natives ignore. He does every thing possible to try to get them to harvest the crop, but all they are interested in are some large round stones quarried on another island Burt realizes that he needs a ship, and goes Hong Kong for one.

A man who died when a Carmel Highlands home burned to the ground Sunday night was tentatively identified yesterday as Whittier Will Wellman, 57, member of a prominent packing firm family.

Deputy Coroner Christopher Hill said "Certain steps must yet be taken before identification can be said to be positive. One such step will be a study of dental charts." The body was so charred that no one could sign the certificate of identification. Wellman, recently a free-lance writer, had Jived over the garage which formed a wing of a house owned by Miss Ann Cattell. It burned late hours after he was last seen entering a cab in Carmel. Wellman was employed by the family firm, Wellyman-Peck before moving here 15 years ago.

He was born in Alameda. and attended Stanford University. His wife died in 1952. FINAL ACCOUNT IS FILED First and final account has been filed in the estate of Ernest Andrew Totten. Total assets on hand are valued at $16,212 to be divided equally between Rosemary D.

Story weaknesses are apparent, and the movie has too many climaxes, but it's a movie that furnishes relaxation while not taxing anyone's brain power. In other words, this is exactly what its producers intended it to be, purely escapist fare of chief appeal to the action minded. Director Byron Haskin, though endowing the movie with sweep and spectacle, has placed his major emphasis on action and romance, and thus has produced another island adventure tale that will have a wide appeal.

ROBINSON -JOHN FORSYTHE MARCIA HENDERSON-KATHLEIM HUCHES S3 sr HIE ULTIMATE nZgSZpS Warmerdam Says His Pupil Should Set Vault Record New York (A). Cornelius (Dutch) Warmerdam, the gangling Califor-nian who drew "oohs" and "aahs" with his astronomical pole vaulting in the pre-war era, predicted today the 16-foot vault is not far off. Warmerdam, assistant track coach at Fresno State, is high on his protege, Fred Barnes, a Fresno State senior. "He's the boy who should break my records," said 38-year-old Dutch. "He has all the natural equipment and now what he needs is plenty of work." Coach and pupil are in the East for three indoor meets at Madison Square Garden.

Saturday at the Millrose games, Barnes soared 14 feet, 4 inches. His best effort is 148. This week at the New York Athletic Club games, the bespectacled Korean veteran will hold the pole at the 14-foot mark. No one before ever has held the pole so close to the end and Warmerdam figures this will aid Barnes. "The big thing is to get a lift over the pole," said Dutch, who held the bamboo at 13-11.

"With the 8-inch well at the takeoff, I think Fred will do 15-4. From then on it's a matter of getting more and more lift." Warmerdam's own world records are 15-7 outdoors and 15-S1 indoors. Still a 144 jumper when he works out. Warmerdam said-he was not discounting the efforts of Rev. Bob Richards, who has come closer to his record than anyone.

"Richards has done better than I thought he ever could," Warmerdam admitted, "so he still might surprise me. But Barnes can hold the pole 4 inches higher than Richards with the same effort, so there's no reason why he shouldn't do better. "This year, I expect him to make eet! then slowly work up to 16 feet. Before he entered Fresno State, Barnes' best was 12-6. Barnes is a quiet lad who lets Warmerdam do most of his talking, lie said that when he finishes college, he hopes to teach around his area and in the meantime keep working under the master.

Then he'll try for the 1956 Olympic team. 1 1 i Esau Ferdinand Flattens Buddy J. In Opening Round Richmond UP). Esau Ferdinand, former state middleweight title-holder, scored an easy first-round Knockout over Buddy of Oakland in a scheduled 10-rounder last night. Ferdinand, 162, dropped 154, in 1:50 with a smashing right to the jaw.

It was Ferdinand's 41st victory in 46 fights. Bv Sam Dawson New Yofk UP). The first round in this year's bitter tariff fight i opens today. It's a grudge fight that has been going on for at least 20 years. It's over the price and origin of the new watch you'd like to buy for yourself or your child's graduation present.

Or maybe the one your boss will buy for you after you've worked for him 50 years. The tariff commission is opening hearings'today on whether the present levy of around 37 per cent on imports of Swiss watches and watch movements should be hiked by 50 per cent. Three American watch companies, Elgin, Hamilton and Waltham, say that Swiss imports, which have mushroomed since World Wer II, injure their business and by doing so are a threat to national security. They contend that only by maintaining a healthy American watch industry can watchmakers be trained, or retain their skills. In wartime these skills must be used quickly to make precise electronic devices and delicate timing devices for missiles and machines of war.

They argue they cannot compete with the Swiss, pricewist, because American skilled labor is so much more highly paid. Unless the tariff is raised they say they cannot compete and the U. S. industry and skill may lapse. Opposed to these three companies are other watchmakers who depend to more or less extent on the highly developed Swiss industry.

Some of them, like Bulova and Gruen, run plants in both the United States and Switzerland. rl i i a i aiiu uemus, xxnpuri owiss waicnes and movements which they assemble and distribute here. They admit they can produce more cheaply than the Americans, but say that in real wages (the food, clothing and shelter a man can buy for what he's paid an hour) the difference between Swiss and American wage scales isn't as great asjt seems. They deny they're a threat to the American industry under present tariff levels. As an example, they point to the $10.75 duty paid on an imported 21-jewel watch, which gives the American companies a good advantage.

About half the American output lies in this field, the Swiss say. The importers also argue that their technicians in this country are highly trained, too, and fur- ly regarded amateur wrestler before he turned to the professional sport. Also on the Friday night card will be a double main event with nearly 1000 pounds of manpower in the persons of Don Arnold, Al Costella, Frank Valois and Angelo Cistoldi performing. Cocker Wins Westminster Best-ln-Show New York Only two years old, Ch. Carmor's Rise and Shine looked down on the canine set today from the loftiest perch in dog-dom the champion of the Westminster Kennel club show.

There wasn't a happier fellow in the big town than handler Ted Young when Judge Virgil D. Johnson selected the ascob cocker spaniel as best-in-show before a crowd cf 10,000 at Madison Square Garden last night. Young gave a whoop and tossed his dog in the air in a most un-blueblooded manner. "I've been handling dogs 10 years," said the 27-year-old "and I've had other best-in-shows, but this is the greatest dog I've ever had." Rise and Shine's victory was an upset because there were so many dogs with great records. Rise and Shine had won only two groups and four specialties not so much as one best in an all-breed event.

Johnson couldn't take his eye off Rise and Shine when Young sent his charge through his paces in the six-dog final. "There were six great dogs in the show," Johnson observed. "And I couldn't have gone wrong on any of them. Rise and Shine was as smooth as he could be. He moved excellently and was in beautiful coat.

He is one of the best buff cockers I have ever seen." The other finalists were Ch. Spark Plug, a boxer owned by Larry Downer of Libertyville, I1L (working); Kippax Fearnaught, a bulldog owned by Dr. J. A. Saylor of Long Beach, (non-sporting); Ch.

Star Twilight of Clu-More, a Yorkshire terrier, owned by L. S. Gordon and Janet Bennett of Glenview, 111., (toy); Tae-jon of Crown Crest, an afgan owned by Kay Finch of Del Mar, (hound) and Ch. Miss Showoff of Gognewaugh, a kerry blue (terrier).

at the civic auditorium. Marsh, taller than Michalik and Tiger Joe Marsh outweighing the pro-footballer by 10 pounds as he scales at 240, is from Hlinois. He is expected to have a rough time with the 49er guard who also hails from the mid-western state. Michalik was a high- COMIN3 SOON "Mother Is A' Freshman55 3 9 i nish a big pool of skilled labor for use in wartime. They say that in the last war their defense contracts totalled $70,000,000.

And of course the importers make much of their contention that the American consumer will be the real one to get hurt if the duty goes up. They contend they can produce the lower-priced jeweled-movemnt watches economically and that American wage scales mean that U. S. companies can't. If the duty goes higher, the importers argue, it won't mean so much that more American watches are sold as that the price of watches will rise.

Beyond the question of price and defense skills in one industry is the general one of U. S. policy on world trade, tariffs and protection. And many observers think the long drawn-out watch tariff battle may set the pattern for all the others to come this vear. When you see what too much money can do to a person such as Barbara Hutton, then, says Aunt Sally Peters, she's glad she's always been poor.
