132 No. 56 HOT Mo ts City Champ urns riery Mickey Cochrane died Thursday morning. He died at the age of 59 in a quiet hospital room in Lake Forest, 111. He was a great ball player and a great competitor and the best catcher the Tigers ever had. Maybe he was the best catcher who ever lived.

He was certainly the toughest. But more than that, he was the man who gave new hope and instilled a new spirit into a bewildered city a man who will never be forgotten by anyone with even the faintest of feelings for Detroit. Black Mike is gone, the victim of a blood disease that turned his pudgy face into a reddish-crimson mask, a disease that wrecked his once-great body. Detroit will never forget him. The Tigers, like the rest of the town in that bleak year of 1933, were short of money.

W. O. Briggs, who owned the club with Frank Navin, felt the Tigers needed a player of Cochrane' type. So he dipped into his personal funds and lent the club $100,000 to make the purchase from Connie Mack of the Philadelphia A's. COCHRANE HAD caught for Mack's great teams of 1929-30-31, but now the Philadelphia patriarch had peek, a quick look, at this magnificent man.

And no man enjoyed it more. Cochrane loved his role as the people's choice. He was wined and dined from Grosse Pointe to Birmingham, and even in rough and ready Hamtramck and the lower East Side. He was apt to sip wine with Henry. Ford one night and shoot pool with Schoolboy Rowe the next.

But now it is gone, all of it. COCHRANE IHD been in failing health for many years and died at 6:45 a.m. Thursday with his wife, Mary, at his bedside. He was born April 6, 1903. in Bridgewater, and came to Detroit under odd circumstances.

I i A 1 in '34 and '35 when Black Mike put the town back on its feet and reawakened the echoes of the Roaring '20s. A town gone wild, a- town gripped with the fever and hysteria created by a man who led his ball team to two straight pennants and a World Series championship. A town which forgot Its problems to heap its adulation on a man who drove his players hard and drove himself even harder. "That's him over there! Hey, Mick! Atta boy, Mick! We're with you all the way, Mick!" They stood on the tops of Stories, a column by Sports Editor Lyall Smith, and pictures on Cochrane the player, with a special poem by the late Malcolm Bingay.

After arguing all day and half the night, the Legislature voted to recess until July 26. The Senate quit at 10:30 p.

m. and the House went home 10 minutes later. The Legislature will come back for a one-day 'no-work' session in July and then im mediately recess again until Dec. 27. The strategy of no adjourn' ing was dictated by the Senate, where the Republican majority appeared to be scared of what Gov.

Swainson and the Senate Supreme Court might do in the next month or six weeks. BY NOT adjourning, the legis lators said they were thus preventing Swainson from calling them back in special session this summer in the event the Supreme Court declares present State Senate districts null and void. "We can call ourselves back into session anytime and that's what we intend to do," said Senator John P. Smeekens, of Coldwater, the Republican Senate floor leader. Smeekens said the Legislature, particularly the Senate, is about to be faced with a "crisis situation." By refusing to adjourn, as Is customary, the GOP leaders said the Serate would retain some freedom of action which would not be per- mitted by a special-session call, in which the Governor could limit the subjects for legislation.

There was serious talk of a possible impeachment of the State Supreme Court by the Republican majority in the House if the Senate districts are declared illegal. REPUBLICANS argued that under the Constitution an impeachment would remove judges Turn to Page 2A, Column 2 Senate Raises U.S. Debt Ceiling To $308 Billion WASHINGTON (AP) After hearing sharply differing opinions on the Government's basic fiscal health, the Senate voted Thursday to raise the Federal debt limit to fallen on hard times and was in need of some cash. The 5100,000 price tag was like a million dollars in those days, but Cochrane proved to be worth it. He was everything that Briggs had envisioned.

He was flamboyant. He was fiery. And he had the flair to spur his players to great heights. Under his leadership, the Tigers broke out of the second division and won the Turn to Page 4A, Column 1 in Liii I a new high of $308 billion. i On a 55-31 roll call, the Senate completed congressional action on the bill to boost the limit, temporarily, from $300 billion.

TECHNICALLY, the House-originated measure provides for a $308-billion limit for the first nine months of fiscal 1963 starting Sunday, $305 billion from April to June 24, 1963, and billion li, for the last six Uvf day of tne year.

Byrd, Williams and other Republicans joined in criticizing Bell for telling the Finance Committee, which Byrd heads, that the anticipated $7-billion deficit for the fiscal year end ing Saturday was planned. (Bell, a former Harvard economics professor, explained at the time that he meant the President could have recommended higher taxes to cover an expected deficit caused mainly by the Berlin crisis and expanded space activities but did not do so because the economy was not in a strong position last year.)

The House passed the President's trade expansion bill on a surprising 298-125 vote and sent it to the Senate after defeating a Republican attempt tc bcuttle the measure. THE BILL would authorize the first major revision in United States tariff policy since enactment of the reciprocal trade program in 1934. It designed to help the United States meet the trade threat raised by Europe's six-naticn Common Market.

Earlier thi3 week it had appeared that the Administration might have to accept a compromise measure. But Kennedy lieutenants refused to make any deals and pushed the '11 through without change. The President had put It at the top of his legislative priority list. THE HOUSE VOTE wa3 a smashing legislative comeback for the President. Just a week ago the House handed him the most crushing defeat of his White House career when it defeated his farm bill by 10 votes.

This tirr.e the President won by 82 votes on the key issue. That was the margin by which the House defeated, 253 to 171, an attempt by Rep. Noah Mason to derail the Kennedy bill by substituting a simple one-year extension of the present trade program. THE President promptly expressed gratification at the outcome and hailed the "very substantial margin' 'on passage. A White House official also anonymously expressed "great surprise" that House GOP leaders voted to scuttle the trade bill in the face of published reports that former President Dwight D.

Eisenhower favored it, and had telephoned key Repulicans to urge passage. The trade bill, which the President called "vital to the future of the now goes to the Senate, where the Finance Committee is' expected to start hearings the week of July 8.

Its tariff-cutting -thority already has been exhausted and no new tariff reductions could be made anyway a point noted by Mason in arguing for its extension.

WASHINGTON LP) The Senate Thursday night hustled to President Kennedy an emergency resolution to permit the Government to keep operating in the first month of fiscal 1963, starting Sunday. The resolution is essential because Congress this year has not passed a single regular money bill for the new financial period. ALL GOVERNMENT agencies would be allowed to spend during July at the lower of one of three rates: Current year spending; President Kennedy's budget request for the new year, or the more restrictive amount adopted by House or Senate if both have passed the money bills. The 1963 appropriations have been held up by a dispute between the appropriations committees of the two branches over protocol. Involved are questions as to where the conferees' meetings will be held, who will preside, and who will originate the bills.
