...born Mildred Gillars. 58, bohemian-inclined oddball who achieved notoriety as Axis Sally, apparently wants to remain locked up. Mildred used to amuse Allied troops in World War II with English-language propaganda broadcasts from Germany. Typical pitch for defection: "Throw down those little old guns and toddle off home. There's no getting the Germans down!" Mildred, if she lives so long, will be sprung in 1979, not counting the ten years off that she could get for good behavior. But it was learned last week that Traitor Gillars, eligible for parole last March, took her stand...
...government built tent camps at army bases all over town, filled Havana University with cots, bedded down 122 lucky guajiros in the presidential palace's Hall of Mirrors. Merely by flashing their identification cards, issued before they left home, the guajiros got free food, shirts, laundry, bus rides and movie tickets.

It was the same in Los Angeles, 350 miles to the southeast. At a rocket test site, an engineer could barely wait for the blast of an Atlas...
...category, but has good first-line pitching (Johnny Antonelli. 14-5; Sam Jones, 14-10), streak-hitting Centerfielder Willie ("Say Hey") Mays (.301), who can still ignite eight ordinary men with his extraordinary play, and First Baseman Orlando Cepeda (.321), who can slug the ball out of sight (19 home runs). Shortstop Ed Bressoud plugs a leaky infield, and stubby Catcher Hobie Landrith gives the Giants a holler guy who seems to carry a mitt on one hand and a gavel in the other, is ready to call an infield meeting at the first sign of a bad pitch...
