Steve Stalsrski. clerk in a Phila. delphla. Pa. Western Union of- fice. dreamed in May 1950 that he was the victim of a holdup. A robbery or the office followed. in December. 1952. having dream- ed‘ again of being robbed, Stuar- ski took the precaution of de- positing $I.000 in receipts. Two hours later armed robbers appear- cd — but all they got was $800 in late receipts.

In Sydney, Australia. a 10-year. old schoolboy, Archie Paulos. dreamed that a horse named Delta would win the Melbourne cup race. He told the dream to his Dad who placed two shillings each way on the horse for his son. Delta won. Mr. Pauios then got a hunch and bought a ticket in the state lottery in his son's name. it won the first prize of 6,000 Dounds! Coincidence’!

Former Star Baseball Pitcher Dies Saturday

PHILADELPHIA (AP) —— One UI baseball‘: great all-time pitcher: I ‘id as member of the Hall of Fame. Charles Albert (Chief) Bender. died Saturday at the age of '71.

Bender. who had been ill for some time. died in Graduate Hos-

fnr cancer and had recently suf- fered a heart attack.

Bender. who for 15 years was one of the best pitchers in base- ball, never made more than $2.400 a season as an active player. The full-blooded Chippewa Indian had been serving as a coach for Phil- adelphia Athletics at more than double the pay he got as a pit- cher.

Connie Mack regarded Bender as his greatest one - game pitcher “If everything depended on nnc game." Mack once said. "I just used Albert.“

WON 6 SERIES GAMES

The Chief was the first pitcher to win six world series games. He took two each in the 1911 and 1913 classics. and one each in 1905 and i910. He headed the pitching staff

of one of Connie Mack's greatest teams, the l9l0 through 1914 Am- erican League champions.

_Altogether. Bender pitched 85 iii- nings in world series competition. He gave up 64 hits, struck out 59 and walked only 21. He fanned 20 in the 1911 series alone. .Bender's greatest year was 1910 when he won 23 and lost 5. That was the year the 27-year-old righthander pitched a no-hit, no-run game against Cleveland Indians. He won 14 ztraight games during the 1914 sea- SOI1.

Bender. a good after dinner speaker. often joked about the fact that he made such a small amount nf money while an active player.

The man who won 206 games and pitched 4i shutouts. took less money out of his baseball career than some modern clay bonus kids get for signing.

Bender served for many years both as minor league manager and a major league coach. Except for one year as a minor league boss for a New York Yankees’ farm, he spent all of his organized base- ball career with Philadelphia Ath~ ietics. As a minor league skipper he won four pennants. and wound tip second, third and fourth once each.

In September, 1953. the old tim- ers‘ committee elected the Chief to baseball's Hall of Fame.

Wide Variety Of Opinions On McCarthy

By James Devlin-

NEW YORK. (AP: _ Joe Mc- Carthy "makes my blood boil." “Joe must go—-to the White House."

Such are the conflicting view: of thousands of Americans in let- ters to newspapers

Most of their comment on the televised Army-McCarthy hearings rcritrm personally on Senator Jos- eph McCarthy.

Opinions are strongly pro or con. with little middle ground.

To one letter writer in De: Moines, Iowa. McCarthy "reminds 9. person of at Roman director anti his henchmen sitting beside him."

Another, in Minneapolis, says "what. we need is 100 more Mc- Carthy’s in Washington."

NEWSPAPER SURVEY

The Associated Pré:.s asked B cross-section of newspapeis ft-on-. coast-to-coast whether the prepon- derance of letters they received during the first weeks of the hear- ings was for or against McCarthy.

Sxty-one papers were checked Of these 25 reported receiving a majority favorable to McCarthy; 19 said the majority was antl—Mt.- Carthy: and 17 said the letters run about. 50-50.

Here is the box-score on a sec- tional breaddown:

Pro Anti Even

l-Last. 8 6

South .. .. 0 3 3 Midwest . .. 9 7 ii West: and Southwest 8 3 3

One newspaper which declined to participate said it believed there was an inspired letter writing cam- paign on behalf of McCarthy.

In the senator's home state of Wisconsin, the anti-McCarthy Mll- waukee .louriial said the majority of its letters from within the state were pro-McCarthy, but that let- ters received from outside Wiscon- sin make the count about 50-50.

It added, however, that “it is impossible to make any kind of accurate estimate since some of McCarthy's vociferous supporters \\l'ile often, keeping up an indi- vidual barrage."

In most instances. the prepon-

derance of letter writing sentiment was in line with the newspaper‘.-' editorial policy on the topic.

PHENOMENAI. INTEREST

The New York Daily News frienrlly to McCarthy. reported that it received about. 300 letters ti. week on the controversy and that they favored McCarthy 20 to l.

The New York Pcst. outspokenly anti-McCarthy. said it received about 250 letters on the topic with only 12 favoring McCarthy, a ratio of more than 20 to 1 against him.

A number of letters. regardless of whether they take it stand for or against McCarthy. criticize tit-* ‘F.«ll".l1KS ceitcraily and some sug-

gest may be called on.

But television notions report they are swamped with affirmative replies when they ask their view- ers whether they want the hearing telecast continued.

TV stations report a phenomenal interest in the hearings. The ABC network. which has been carrying them “live," said I survey May 7 estimated the viewing audience at 9,200,000
