$25,000 Offer
"APPARENTLY he's a fellow
who changes his mind just like
that.

than $25,000" to Greenberg.
In defense, Hank said he was
misquoted by Mack in regard to
retirement.
He -added that he was not re-
ceptive to the Athletics' offer be-
cause there was little chance of
his moving up to a front office
job with that team.

Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Karp and their 16-year-old daughter
Celina were among the Jews in German labor camps whose
blood was taken regularly for wounded Nazis, thereby refut-
ing the Nazis' own theory of Jewish inferiority. Mrs. Karp
and her daughter were first sent to Auschwitz and later re-
united .with Mr. Karp in a forced labor camp. With the help
of United Service for New Americans the family recently
joined relatives in Des Moines.
