good Intentions. Talking to e
'Newsweek editor in his study, he
leaned forward over hie teacup,
and said with burning intensitYl
"Everything 1 do is. for my
country. it is a great country
which I am proud of. We must
make it grow, provide the peo-
ple with a better life." In pur-
suance of these good intentions,
the Shah works harder than any
other monarch. Promptly at 8:30
every morning last week, he
swung down the maroon- and
purple-carpeted corridor of his
summer palace at Saedabad
above Teheran, whistled to his
dogs, a white bulldog and Haraz,
a pony-size black and brown Ger-
man shepherd, and marched in-
to his ground-floor office.
While gardeners scissored the
crimson and pink rose bushes
outside, he went over a list of
callers with his sparrowlike little
Minister of Court, Hussein Ala.
Then one by one he received
them, waving each to a leather
armchair, relaxed and casual in
cne of his favorite two-button
Savile Row suits, Occasionally
puffing shah-size Persian cigar-
ettes in an ebony holder tilted
roofwards at an FDIC angle, he
chatted easily, sipped tea with
his guests from delicate gold-
trimmed glasses.
Before lunch h e thrashed
through a fast game of volleyball
with offcers of his Imperial
Guard. Then after lunch while
his aides dozed, he pulled up a
chaise longue in the garden and
leafed through a stack of state
papers. After a second, less-for-
mal round of evening t onfer-
ences, he went to his private
quarters for a romp with his
son, and dinner with his lissome
Queen Farah. Evenings, his fav-
orite relaxation is still bridge or
poker, and in both games the
Shah bids or bets with happy
sabandon,ince P
remier Amini took over,
the Shah has had more fume for
playing cards. For as Amini sees
it, the Shah's job is to reign —
not rule, Amini has nevertheless,
relied on the Shah's authority
pushing through his "revolution
from the top." In five short
weeks, he has decreed an auster-
ity program to save $50 million
by 'prohibiting imports of 210
items (examples — cigarettes,
washing machines, whisky), for-
bidding junketing b y Iran's
wealth y, ordering one.course,
liquorless meals for all official
functions.

How Babe Ruth Set That Record
Every year, about this time, there is talk about this or that ball-
player fracturing Babe Ruth's record of sixty homers in a single
season. So hereAust in case you like to keep tabs, is when, where
and who against, the Babe did it. The year, in case you've forgot-
ten, was 1927.

take groups of amateur srchae,

A 'week before the firs! were
due to arrive, he turned up with
a donkey cart filled will what
looked like bomb rabho, but
turned out to be earthen pets and
bowls, broken or faulty rejects
from a local pottery.
"It is necessary to seed the
ground," he explained, and pro-
ceeded-to. "seed" various under-
water sites around Palma Bay
and elsewhere by chucking the
sluff overboard.
The first party of young Ger-
man amateurs arrived with their
frogmen's kits, and the ketch
immediately set sail,

to look for archaeological 'treas-

at one of the seeded sites.

"What happens if these -things

Crichton asked.
"Nothing happens because they
don't get back to Germany," the
professor explained. "Ancieet rel-

We just gather them all together
and present them to the curator

hilarious incidents recounted by
Crichton in his recently publish-

Where Every Kid
Makes The Team
Oysters Have Foes
Over And Under
Some people think the world
is their oyster, but the etarfish
know that the oyster is their
world. The conflicting philoso-
phies have led to ferocious com-
petition for oysters, with the
starfish, in recent years, win-
ning out. The starfish have two
advantages: They are closer to
the supply, and they don't ob-
serve the "r"-less month rule.
An average starfish can eat 10
to 20 bushels of oysters a year.
One week, last month, on Long
Island Sound, people struck
back. Skindivers, 400 - strong,
fetched up an estimated 25,000
starfish, saved an. estimated 375,-
000 bushels of oysters for people
to eat.
Baseball's dad, Abner Double-
day, would probably thrill to the
new mood that has come over
his game on a number of dia-
monds in Fort Wayne, Ind.
A new league has just been
laundched in town. They call it
the Wildcat League, It not only
has teams, coaches, scrappy
young players, bats, balls, sacks,
plates and mounds, distinctive
T-shirts and caps, but it also
has a significant philosophy.
It appears to be such a sturdy
and pioneering philosophy, in
fact, that other communities may
want to try it out,
The philosophy is simply this:
everybody who comes out for e
Wildcat League team makes the
team and gets in the game.
That's it. Not so new? Perhaps
riot in essence; 'new, certainly,
on. this scale.
It is a hopeful departure for
the 81/2 -to-14-year-old baseball
set which, in recent years, has
been caught in a flurry of highly
organized leagues which set out
to build sportsmanship and ath-
letic skill but which, somehow,
seem frequently to have brought
about as many tear-stained fre-
ckles as jack-rabbit shortstops.

Because of its historical con-
tinuity, Iran has a distinct per-
sonality, an authentic national
identity that is lacking in such
neighbors as Iraq and Pakistan.
It has its own culture — the
poetry of Omar Khayyam, the
sculpted friezes of Persepolis, the
glazed Mosques of Isfahan and
Shiraz. If, has 'its own language
(Farsi), its own unique religion
(the Shiite branch of islam),
above all, its 2,500-year-cid tra-
dition of monarchy.
The man who now sits nn the
Peacock Throne of Iran is a lean
athletic 41-year-old with a care-
hilly barbered shock of graying
hair, brown eyes, and a hawk-
eyed face whose melancholy as-
pect rarely, breaks into a smile,
except when the Shah picks up
his 7-month-old son, Reza. Still
slim and straight, the Shah is a
splendid skier (he can slam
through the slalom seconds be-
hind Iran's best), a hard driving
tennis player (he is said to have
the best serve in the country),
and a keen sports-car driver, who
races his personal coffee brown
Italian sports car.
The Shah was not born to lux-
ury. His father, aReza Pablevi,
was an illiterate 6-foot 4-inch
officer in the Iranian Army who
organized an army putsch in
1921, and set himself up success-
ively as Minister of War; Prem-
ier, and finally in 1925 as King.
As short on temper as he was
on education, Reza Shah wasn't
eboVe kicking a Mullah in the
stomach or lashing a minister
with a riding crop to get his Way.
But he got results — hacking out
the Trans4ranian railway with.

Boys with hearts set on posi-
tions on many of these well-
knoWn leagues across the coun-
try have, in countless cases,
dragged borne hopelessly after
tryouts to report that "they said
I wasn't good enough to make
the team."
In some instances parents
themselves have pulled off-
spring out of games or off teams
when competitive zeal among
sideline adults got out of hand.
A variety oa unfortunate fric-
tions have overshadowed set-
tings originally conceived as
training fields for wholesome
teamwork and competition for
young boys.
It is against this somewhat
unsettled background of organ-
ized baseball for youngsters that
Ford Wayne's Wildcat League ap-
pears so promising.
Dale W. McMillen, Sr„ one of.
the city's pioneer industrialists
and, in. recent years, one of its
most ardent boosters, has provid-
ed financial support for the
leagues. And he has set the
guidelines for it too.
He has reminded the people
of Fort Wayne that the future
of the' community "rests in the
hands of its youth and that ade-
quate recreational opportunities
are vital to their development
as good citizens."
"Because of our interest in
youth," he continues, "we are
sponsoring the 'Wildcat Baseball
Leagues' which will offer an
opportunity to play baseball for
ALL boys of ages 8 1/2 -to-14 re-
gardless of race, religion, or fin-
ancial means,
"Through these additional re-
creational opportunities, a n d
without interfering with any
league now In existence, it is our
desire to teach, train, and coach
any youngster who cannot qual-
ify for play in any league now
organized,
"This investment in youth is
an investment in the future of
mar community. We know of no
better way to help ensure its
growth, prosperity and enrich-
ment,"
White-haired and hard-driv-
ing' at 81, Mr. McMillen consi-
ders these leagues "the most im-
portant thing I have ever done."
Ten al Fort Wayne's best pub-
lic and private school coaches
have been hired to direct the
teams; 10 carefully screened col-
lege athletes and 10 'of the city's
top high school seniors will work
as paid assistants. They have
been instructed that the mission
of the leagues is "the creation
of a Wholesome atmosphere for
the players so that correct atti-
tudes, habits; language usage,
and sportsmanship may be a di-
rect outcome of their partici-
pation in this program."
The boys must buy Wildcat
caps and T-shirts but if they
cannot afford them they may do
assigned chores to earn therri„
Writes Robert Colby Nelson in
the Christian Science Monitor,
The league manual counsels
them in ihe tenets of physical
and' mental fitness,
"Don't clutter your mind with
unclean, uncouth thoughts and
ideee, Use it for worthwhile'
thotights,

and play according to them. A
