"I've been exercising nd I feel strong. I'm swinging 'va " When the game be- n, lYfuslal twisted himself in - his eurious crouched steno¢, unwound --- and struck out. QI'm afraid Stan's through," said le teammate. Ted Williams, some 2,300 glades away in Arizona, wasn't 4triking out — he wasn't even winging. His neck numbed by 4t pinched nerve, his back stiff ayith pain, Williams skipped ex-• thibitions and shunned batting ractiee. "Ted's through,,' a 0$90n reporter flatly predict - id. But last month, in the two tA.11-Star games at Kansas City end New York, the players for 'tilhom cheers rang loudest were the two old men, and the cheers tvere not mere sentiment. In 1959 both men made the All- Star squads purely in homage to the past; this year they won ¢heir places on merit. At 41, 'Williams, with fourteen hcme Runs for Boston, was batting. 0341, the highest average in the .American League. At 39, Musial, with 21 hits in his last 37 times et bat for St. Louis, had raised his average to .300• 'When you get to my age, Williams said, as he rested in the lockerroom before the se- cond All-Star game, "baseball determines everything you do. -You can't go to a social gather- ing and enjoy yourself the way you'd like to." On the field, Musial hustled atbout, shagging fly balls, laugh- ing, and joking. "I said in the ;pring I felt good," he recalled, 'and I meant it. I'm still strong. I'm ready for the rest of the zeti5on." In the game, won by the Na- tional Leaguers, 6-0 ,they also won the first, 5-3), Musial pinch- hit in the seventh inning. He took a strike from former team- mate Gerry Staley, then lashed out at a sinker. The ball sailed high into the right -field upper aleck for Musial's record sixth .All-Star home run. A few minutes later, Williams pinch-hit. He slapped a singlet into right field. "It was a noth- ing curve," he explained, "and 1 hit it the same way." In the dressing room, Williams eat an a stool by his locker, twin rolls of fat creasing the waistline that once was flat and. hard. "I'm not going to hit .340 this year," he said, easily. "I just want to hit .300• I'm tired. I need a rest. This has to be my :' It was apparent that he had started to say, "my last Tear," He hesitated. "When 1 heel good," he said, "T can still logit." Musial, across the catacomb,¢ of the Stadium, felt the same, "I wan hit," he said. "I can still Wit: DIME CAREFULLY — The lilfe you save may be your own, MERRY MENAGERIE 1 you cVerdoing 1dng-of-the-juee a bit?"

Odd Mail Mows To U.S. President "Dear Mr. President, , .." Each day several thousand citizens write a letter to their President on every conceivable subject from how to raise money for a new church to instructions for making a banana pie. The old, the young, the rich, the poor — all contribute to the overpacked mail bags arriving at the White house. Some offer advice on world affairs; others berate the President for his decisions. A hobbyist requests an auto- graph; a poverty-stricken moth- er asks financial aid for her children; an admirer sends best wishes. Most correspondents are sincere, although numerous busybodies and deluded persons also write. Americans have always felt free to write the man they select for the nation's highest office. President Eisenhower's mail — letters, post cards, and telegrams — comes from every corner of the land and many foreign coun- tries, In addition to their penchant for writing letters, Americans revel in showering their lead- ing citizens with gifts. Each mail brings hundreds of packages of all sizes and descriptions. Favor- ite presents include prize-win- ning fruits and vegetables, the biggest melons, turkeys, hams, and game. Various items nt clothing also arrive daily, such as neckties, satin pajamas, and underwear. A music -lover ships a ukelele with an instruction book; a kid forwards a stack of comic books; and one misguided woman even sent her gold teeth because she heard it was illegal to hoard gold. Fifty years ago, the Chief Exe- cutive thought he had broken a record if his mail reached the staggering total of 100 letters daily. By President Hoover's time the volume had swelled 10 some 800 a day, During the first months of the New Deal, the daily average often reached 8,000 to 10,000. Soon after Mr. Eisen- hower's inauguration, he was re- ceiving around 25,000 messages. A corps of clerks under the Chief of Mails handles this huge influx. In the old days, one per- son could handle the compara- tive trickle of mail arriving at the White House mail room. But today the mammoth job requires IN MEMORIAM — Miss Balbine Schwarz has found a way to thank the World War II dead of her adopted country. She spent more than a year creating a 28x30 -inch mosaic tablet inscribed with the Ten Commandments in Hebrew, The tablet was ac- cepted by the American Battle Monuments Commission for placement in the St. Avoid Memorial Cemetery In Lorraine, Fiance, 1 sliffi numbering in the '.corm and at peak i'li.riods in the sun•. areas. The stiff sorts, an ale ZeS, and cli p,ttcllt s inceinine mail to the propel' office for reply. .First, the clerks separate the President's personas mail and deliver it to him unopened.. This duty calls for an excellent me- mory and an eye tallied to pick nut the handwriting and sta- tionery of the Chief Executive's elo:.e friends. Happily, the mail- room staff rarely opens en en- velope from one cif the Presi- dent's private correspondents. Most of the letters addressed to hila, however, pass ihruugh an electric letter opener, after which the clerks go to work reacting and segregating it, Readers examine each mes- sage, An efficient worker goes through some 500 to 600 letters a day, recording each one along with a summary of its contents. '.Then the letters are directed to the White House staff, a govern- ment agency, or some other de- partment for handling. All let- ters are acknowledged or han- dled in some other manner as speedily as possible, Although the President has time to read only several samples of his mail each day, he does go over a tabu- lated summary of it, In this way 11e keeps his finger on the pulse of public opinion and the senti- ments of the ordinary voter. Addresses on some of the let- ters provide many a chuckle. Some have been directed to "The Onuble President," "Too Deer President," "Itis Majesty of USA," "Frankie Rassie Veit," and "Mr, Presadene Frakline Rodserveet — if name spells wrong please excuse," At times artistically inclined writers post letters to the White House with nothing on the envel- ope but a drawn caricature of the President or some other sin- gularly appropriate sketch, A favorite trick during Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration consisted of a picture of a rose followed by the letters "v -a -1-t." During Theodore Roosevelt's tenure, numerous messages ar- rived with only a cartoon of him on the envelope. Sometimes a sketch consisted only of a toothy grin beneath a huge pair of pince-nez spectacles. Happily, post -office employees usually di- rect such mail to the proper place, writes Frank L. Reming- ton in the Christian Science Monitor. There's no telling what a letter might contain, for each day turns up something new or bizarre. One woman wrote Mr, Truman that she was freezing during an oil shortage. Would he help her get some oil. He did, A mother sent Mr. Eisenhower her draft- ed son's camp address. "If you ever pass through that vicinity," she wrote "will you please look isbn up." At Christmas or on the Presi- dent's birthday the volume of letters and telegrams swells con- siderably. Once the people of Birmingham, Alabama, sent President Roosevelt a telegram to express birthday greetings. The wire contained 41,000 names and was a quarter of a mile long. It required a total of 19 hours to transmit and cost the senders :j,421. Likewise, the volume of gift - bearing parcels flowing to the Chief Executive doubles or triples at his birthday or at Christmas. The state of the presi- dential health also governs to some extent the number of pack- ages. 11 newspapers and radio commentators announce that the President has a cold, well-wish- ers deluge the White House with heavy blankets, woolen socks. earmuffs, hotwater bottles and homemade remedies. Most packages .sent to the President, however. con la in food. But because it arrives in such abundant quantities, little of it reaches the White House dining room. Much of it spoils en route to Washington. Any edibles that ultimately reach the President's table have first been tested chemically by the Fond and Drug Administration, The steady stream of gifts ar- riving at the White House pre- sents a problem. All of them, of course, are acknowledged, but many must be returned, especial- ly the expensive ones. Obviously, the President cannot accept gifts that might put him under obliga- tion to the sender. And many of the items sent are nothing the Chief Executive wants or can use. Much of the food is turned over to various charities around Washington, And the local zoo often receives an addition to its menagerie from among the President's gifts. There's never a dull moment at the White House mail room. As comical or serious as the huge stacks of letters and packages arriving each day may be, they indicate the personal interest and concern the average citizen takes in his government and its Chief Executive, Q, clow can I remove some mildew from white linen?
