FRANCHISE IN DANGER
PORTLAND, Ore. UR — The
Portland Pacific Coast League
baseball club had to borrow enough
money to get to Hawaii for its cur
rent series, L. H. Gregory said
yesterday. He added the club’s
franchise is in danger.
Gregory, sports editor of the
Oregonian, said attendance at Port
land games has been far under
the break-even point.
His club lost $65,000 in 1960 and
$35,000 last year, he wrote in his
column, “Greg’s Gossip,” and said
it “no longer has the working capi
tal to hang on with.”
Gregory said club president
Arch Kingsley advanced $7,500 to
finance the Hawaii trip. Of this
$4,000 is to be repaid promptly, he
said, when Hawaii reimburses
I Portland for the airplane fares,
| under its agreement.

IKE ADMITS BLUNDER IN
DENYING U-2 SPY FLIGHT
NEW YORK UP) — Look maga
zine said Monday former President
Dwight Eisenhower admitted his
administration blundered in ori
ginally denying the U-2 spy flight
of Francis Gary Powers. The mag
azine added that Eisenhower’s son
prevailed upon him to keep his
views private.
“In retrospect, the President
realized that the crisis had been
badly handled,” the magazine said.
“He admitted privately that the
United States had jumped too soon
in issuing its May 6 statement.
“Eisenhower also said this in an
interview filmed by CBS for tele
cast on Nov. 25, 1961. But this
portion of the film was snipped
out at the insistence of Lt. Col.
John Eisenhower, the President’s
son, who is serving as his father’s
aide.”
These views were given in a
copyright article in the current
issue of Look by Washington
newsmen David Wise and Thomas
Ross. The article was condensed
from “The U-2 Affair,” to be pub
lished by Random House Inc.
