WASHINGTON {/P) Rep.
Holt (R-Galif) reported today
he was detained for more than
an hour in a sulburb of Mos
cow last Wedensday'by a Sov
iet army lieutenant who held
a cooked' pistol at his head.
Holt said !he was accompan
ied 'by a member of the staff
of the American embassy on
a visit to see a suburban
school.
He said' he left his diploma
tic car, driven by a Russian
employe of the American em
bassy, and asked permision
of three teachers to photo
graph them and the school
building.
When permission was refus
ed, Holt said, he took no pic
tures. But when he returned
to his car the Soviet army
lieutenant appeared and de
manded his identification pass
port and identification card of
the embassy official.
Holt said he was getting in
the car at the time but the of
ficer ordered him out. He said
he stayed where he was on ad
vice of the embassy official,
who had not yet stepped into
the car.
He said the officer “took
out Ihii's revelver, cocked it,
held it a foot from my head
and ordered me out of the
car.”
“1 was at the point of say
ing ‘let’s igo’ when a colonel
in the Red army came down
the road, pushed through the
crowd, and said we could go
after looking at my passport
and the embassy officials’ i
dentifieation card.”
Holt said he remained silent
about the incident until today,
because the American govern
ment had filed an official pro
test last Thursday and he felt
the Russian government sho
uld have time to make an apo
logy.

AMERICAN MANAGERS
WARY BUT CONFIDENT
by The Associated Press
Wary, ibuit confident. That’s
the way four guys named Lo
pez, Stengel, Marion and Hig
gins called their shots as the
frantic American league race
spun into the stretch run today
Manager A1 Lopez, whose
Cleveland Indians open their
final eastern trip tonight at
Baltimore, figured “It’ll be
rough, but I feel sure we’ll
still be in first place when we
get bacfk home.”
He said his Tribe would win
a second straight flag away
back last spring. He still tho
ught so on July 2 when they
were eight games out. Now,
with a half game lead, he’s
more confident than ever.
Casey Stengel, knocked off
a run of five straight pennants
by Lopez in ’54, is a little more,
cautious, but he’s not giving
ground. With his New York
Yankees in second place and
due to meet Chicago and Cleve
land this weekend Ol’ Case al
lows as how “this here race has
got down to a day-by-day pro
position and1 I got my pitching
lined up pretty good. But if I
have to use one of my starters
in relief I’ll have to go anoth
er way.”
Possibly the least exuberant
of the four contending manag
ers is Marty Marion of the
White Sox. He has a good rea
son. They’ve just lost four of
five and slipped from the lead

Marty, too, was still in their
pitching as 'his Sox moved to
Wasbihlgton for two games.
"At least we’ve had a day
off,” said Marty, “land we al
ways bounce good after a little
rest.”
The White Sox will have to
have plenty of bounce on this
trip. After Washington, they
hit the Yanks for two Friday
and Saturday and then a Sun
day douibleheader at Boston.
After that — two doulblehead
ers in two days at Baltimore.
Mike (Pinky) Higgins of Bos

thing neatly in focus. “Any
thing can happen,” he said.
I “Our bullpen got straightened

we’re in a good spot.”
