When he rejoined his teammates three days later-all smiles and handing out cigars to celebrate the birth of a little Rosar-Catcher Rosar found that a potential policeman's lot was not a happy one. Manager McCarthy had not only fined him $250 for jumping the club but had hired rollicking Rollie Hemsley to take his place. Hemsley, recently cast off by the Cincinnati Reds for his dismal record of 13 hits in 115 times at bat this season, seemed an unlikely squat-in for Bill Dickey.

Originally estimated at 90,000, a number high enough to frighten all retailers, its size has already been cut by the Budget Bureau to 60,000. Of this, said OPA, only about 15,000 will be price cops, the rest clerks. This will set only one price cop to watch every 1,500 stores. Last week it seemed that Congress might whittle the force some more. Congressmen were angry and disappointed because Leon Henderson had failed to "consult" them on appointments. Regional and State administrators...
