By BOB BORISKIE
The Bryan Majors surged back

League last night with a mara
thon 19-inning 4-3 victory over the
Temple Eagles at Travis Park.
Combined with the 7-3 Tyler loss
to Austin, the win moved the Ma

Outstanding performance of the
game came feOTvYi,c,.^tryska, who
relieved Bill Le'mhah for the Ma
jors in the eighth innjilg with one
out, and then held the. -visit^s
scoreless for 11% innings and al

ning when Lou Fitzgerald opened
with a line single to center, and
was promptly moved down to sec
ond base on a neat sacrafice bunt
by Frank Scarpace. Then, when
Temple’s A1 Joe Hunt booted John
G o o d e 11’s grounder, Fitzgerald
scored from second to put Bryan
ahead by a 3-;2 margin.
However, Temple tied the game
up again in the top of the eighth.
After left fielder White struck out,
shotstop Wilkinson drew a > walk
and Hunt followed with a solid sin
gle to left field. When the count
on left fielder Jones went to two
balls arid no strikes, Manager Jim-
my Adair decided to take out Len-
ihan, and Stryska got Jones to hit
a grass-cutter to Fitzergald,* who
tossed over to Goodell for the force
at second, but the throw to first
was wide, and Wilkinson scored
the tying run.
Fine Fielding
Sparkling fielding plays broke up
several scoring chances by both
teams as they battled «d o w n
through the extra inings.
In the near-fatal fourteenth,
Temple loaded the-sacks with only
one out, but a short fly by catcher
Tate didn’t allow the base runners
to advance. Then third baseman
Kires drove a hot grounder at Al
len Maul on first, who hobbled the
ball but recovered in - time to relay
the ball to Stryska covering first
for the third out.
In the nineteenth inning, four
hours and sixteen minutes after
starting time, Scarpace opened the
Bryan half of the inning with a
walk. Goodell then flew out to left
field, and with the hit and run sign
on, Bob Saulsberry singled, send
ing Scarpace to third. Wes Gib
son, who got four hits in eight
times at bat in the game blasted
his game-winning single.
Fourteen Eagles Whiff
Leniham and Stryska each struck
out seven Eagles in the extra in
ning encounter and Stryska picked
up the win to give him credit for
all three Bryan victories in the cur
rent home stand.

MIG Without Shot
First Lieutenant Raymond C.

MIG fighter plane under unusual
circumstances Tuesday, accord
ing to a United Press report in
Dallas Morning News.
Nutt, who sports a fierce-look-
ing handlebar mustache, wonder
ed if he scared the enemy pilot.
The 24-year-old Texan said
he expected the MIG he was
chasing would get away. But,
for no apparent reason, the
Communist pilot swung his plane
into a sharp turn and bailed out
giving Lt. Nutt his first MIG de
struction claim.
Twisting his long mustache,
Nutt later quipped:
“He saw this handlebar and
said, ‘Ivan, here J come.’ ”
The lieutenant’s wife lives at
1003 Travis Street in Bryan.
Local Demos Hear
National Chairman
Stress Party Unity
Stephen Mitchell, national chair
man of the Democratic Party, met
today with local Democrats at a
luncheon in Bryan, and again
stressed the need for party unity.
Many other counties were rep
resented at the luncheon, with
Democrats in attendance from
Harris, Robertson, Houston, Leon,
Navarro, Burleson, Grimes, Madi
son, Washington, Bell, Falls, and
Walker Counties.
Master of ceremonies for the oc
casion was District Judge W. S.
Barron. Travis B. Bryan was
general chairman for the program,
and Dr. Charles F. Pitts of the
College Avenue Baptist Church
gave the invocation before the
luncheon.
During his tour of Texas, Mitch
ell has spoken on a wide variety
of topics concerning the nation as
well as the people of Texas.
Opening in Abilene, his first
speech accused the Republican ad
ministration of installing a “hard
money” policy to stop inflation,
but that such tactics will lower
farm prices, kill industrial expand
sion, and reduce employment.
Speaking in Denton on Tuesday,
Mitchell predicted that leading Re
publicans in Congress would make
an' effort to force through a na
tional sales tax. He further charg
ed that Eisenhower was failing in
one of his major campaign prom
ises—a stronger national defense
—and that the President faced fail
ure in the other two—a balanced
budget and a reduction in taxes.
Mitchell said the Republicans
are finding out the facts of life.
“They made a lot of campaign
promises about reducing taxes and
building a better defense. The
next election is going to be a test
of their performance on promises,”
he said.

W. H. Holzmann’s
Services Praised
By A&M Directors
Tribute was paid to W. H. Holz-
mann, now retired from the posi
tion of, comptroller of the A&M
System to modified service, by the
board of directors.
A resolution expressing “its sin
cere gratitude for the 31 years of
faithful and efficient service he
has rendered to this System and
to make public- expression of its
admiration for the ability, integ
rity and diligence of this outstand
ing priblic servant,” was presented
to Holzmann recently.
Holzmann came to A&M in 1922
as cashier in the fiscal office and
for many years had been comp
troller of the System.
The resolution cited Holzmann
as one of the outstanding figures
in the field of administration of
college fiscal affairs in the na
tion. “The manner in which he
has managed the fiscal affairs of
this System has set a pattern
which is the goal of every state
supported institution within this
state.”
Not forgetting his hobby in its
tribute, members of the board add
ed “their personal expression of
affection and appreciation for the
privilege of having worked with
Walter H. Holzmann” and wished
him “happiness and success in his
new duties as well as ‘good fish
ing’ in the additional time he now
has to devote to his. favorite
sport.”
’52 Grad in Germany
WITH 28TH INFANTRY DIV.
GERMANY — Second Lieutenant
Jody W. Damron, who was gradu
ated from A&M in 1952, is serving
in Germany with the 28th Infantry
Division.
WASHINGTON, July 1 — (A>)—
President Eisenhower said Wed
nesday revolt sparked by tyranny
seems to be spreading like wild
fire in Iron Curtain countries. But
he said there is no thought of ac
tive intervention to liberate these
nations.
Rebellion in the Soviet satel
lites, the President told a news
conference, reinforces the idea that
people who have known freedom
rate it as the highest of human
values and consider life itself
worth spending to regain it.
Yet Mr. Eisenhower indicated
there is little his administration
feels it can do now to liberate the
satellite countries aside from
statements and speeches to show
them they still have friends stand
ing by.
In effect, the President was re
peating the stand to which he
came around in last year’s political
campaign, that this country should
seek liberation of the satellites but
only by peaceful means.
Meanwhile, Moscow’s sudden re
call of key Soviet ambassadors, as
well as Soviet Army and civilian
officials in East Germany, may
mean that a row in the Kremlin
over post-Stalin policies is nearing
a climax.
Events in East Germany and
other captive nations have jolted
Soviet pi'opaganda in Europe and
brought certain policies of the rul
ing hierarchy sharply into question.
Premier Georgi Malenkov, long
the apostle of all-out economic ex
ploitation of East Germany and
Eastern Europe for the benefit of
Soviet economy, may find himself
on the defensive. But so. may Lav
renty P. Beria, whose security
forces must share the blame for
events in Middle Europe. Either
or both may try to divert the
blame to the Soviet Army. In
that event the showdown conceiv
ably could blow up into an internal
row at the top which could decide
the Kremlin struggle for power.
Virtually all the top military
and civilian aides of the former
Soviet Control Commission of East
Germany as well as the ambassa
dors to the Western Powers were
summoned to the Kremlin for the
rush conference on the heels of the
vast European revolts.
Sore Throats Lead
County Sick Report
Strept throat, with a total of
14 cases, again leads the Morbidi
ty Report for the week ending
June 27, according to the Bryan-
Brazos County Health Unit.
Second on the list is measles
with a total of 11 and third is
dystentery (bacillary) with five.
Other diseases on the report are
tuberculosis, three; chickenpox,
two; pneumonia, two; and mumps,
syphilis, and brucellosis, one each.
DISASTER AREAS—The shaded area in Texas and Okla
homa encompasses 192 drouth-stricken counties—152 in
Texas and 40 in Oklahoma—designated formally by Pres
ident Eisenhower as disaster areas. The action makes
cattlemen and stockmen in those counties eligible to share
in the eight million dollar allocated by the President from
his emergency fund for drouth relief.
