New York (/P) A five run ex
plosion in the first inning, high
lighted toy Bill Skowron’s three'
run homer, and Wihitey Ford’s
four hit pitching gave the New
York Yankees a 5-1 victory to'
day and tied the World Series
at 3J3. A knee injury forced
Brooklyn’s Duke 'Snider out of
the game in the fourth inning.
The final game of the series1
will ibe played at Yankee Stad
iuim tomorrow at 1 p. m. (EST).
(noon, EDT). Lefthander Tom

Snider, slugging star of the,
series with four homers and
eight hits, injured his left knee
in the third inning when he
stepped in a hole in the outfield
while chasing Skowron’s fly.
He was replaced at bat by Don
Zimmer in the fourth inning.
Back in the friendly confines
of Yankte Stadium after losing
three straight a% Etobets Field,
the Yankees wasted no time in
driving young Karl Soooner
from the mound in the first in
ning. They bfasttd the 24-year
old lefthander for five runs on
two walks and three hits and
it didn’t matter that they were
stopped cold thereafter by Russ
Mever and Ed Roebuck.

ned but Rizzuto stole second on
the strikeout. Gil McDougald
walked and the Dodger bullpen
stirred. Yogi Gerra and Hank
Bauer produced run scoring
* singles and then Skowron, the
husky rightdanded first base
man, smashed the ball into the
lower right field stands for a
5-0 lead. That was the ball
game. „
Meyer relieved Spooner at
this point and put down the
fire. The temperamental right

the series.
After pitching hitless ball for i
three innings, the chunky Yan-'

jb-committee hears many
ikons testifiy Saturday
| No plans at present
for commissary at
island, group told
‘1At present there are no
plans being laid for a commis
sary at 'Mt. Edgeoumbe; how
ever, we do have the author
ity to establish a commissary,”
Dr. Carl Minkinin testified at
the hearing of the house sub
committee on territories and
insular affairs held here Sat
urday morning.
Such a commissary would
handle only foodstuffs, known
as suibstisfcance items, Dr. Man
kinin stated. In response to
questions from members of the
sub-committee, ft was learned
such a commissary would bring
goods north on commercial
freight boats tout would have
housing in a government-own
ed, rent-free building and
would pay no taxes. Also it
was established by questions
of the sulb-committee that fed
eral employees at Mt. Edge
cusmlbe receive a 25% cost-df
tivdng differential on which
they pay no federal income
taxes.
Dr. Mankinin went on to
ay that if a boom comes to
President's illness
has no change to
’ndicate difficulties
DENVER (/P) Anxiety over
President Eisenhower’s illness
eased considerably this morn
ing as (physicians reported his
condition “showed no change
to indicate complications.”
The 'bulletin said the chief
executive’s condition “remains
satisfactory.”
The official report from Fitz
simons army hospital at 9:40
a.m. served to lift tension
created when the doctors an
nounced last night that Eisen
hower was “a little tired” and
not feeling “as well as usual.”
That bulletin last evening
was the first which failed to
sav that the chief executive
was progressing satisfactorily
I “without complications.”
The doctors have said repeat
edly any complications were
most likely to develop during
the first two -weeks after the
! heart attack Eisenhower suif
• fered a week ago last Saturday
! The charge in the 64-year
. old president’s condition last
; r'ight Came on the ninth day
of the crucial first two weeks.
This morning’s medical bul
letin. about 2 hours 40 minutes
later than usual to (permit
thorough examination of the
president alfter he awakened
. late, said this:
! “The {president slept sound
ly from 8:45 p. m. to 7:10 a. m.
with the exception of a half
, hour from 4:25 a. m. to 4:55 a.
m.
i “At that time a medical ex
| animation showed his temper
ature, pulse and blood pres
sure to be normal.
“When he aiwoke this morn
ing the president felt rested
and refreshed.
Sitka, with prices skyrocket
ing such las they did at Ketch
ikan at 'that time he might
haive to consider suich a pro
cedure to retain personnel at
the island. This brought a com
ment from one sub-committee
member that it appeared the
threat of a commissary was be
ing used as a psychological
weapon over the merchants of
Sitka.
Maurice L. Borders, U. S.
P. H. S. administrative officer
! at the island quoted P. L. 440
as their authority for such a
proposal. William Olsen, area
director for the AN'S, said the
first time he had heard of such
a proposal was when asked by
E. L. Reed on Friday evening
if he knew of the plan. If such
a commissary was set up, he
did not know if AiNiS employ
ees would be able to use it
but “would assume so.” he
said, as P. Hi S. controls all
central services at Mt. Edge
combe now.
E. L. Reed, president of the
Sitka Chamber of Commerce
and1 owner of Reed’s Cash Mar
ket, then explained the meth
od and basis of grocery mark
up prices in Sitka, based upon
landed cost.
With Rep. Grade Ffost of
Idaho presiding, the sub-com
mittee included Delegate E. L.
(Bob) Bartlett of Alaska; Rep.
James B. Utt of California;
Rep. B. F. Sisk of California
and Rep.' J. Edgar Ohenoweth
