TEL AVIV—Six infiltrators
from the Gaza Strip were killed
in two armed clashes with Is-
raeli patrols, it was disclosed
Tuesday.
The most recent clash occurred
Monday northeast of the north-
ern edge of the strip when three
infiltrators were killed and a
fourth wounded and taken to an
Israel hospital.
Security forces have been put
on a special alert because the
infiltrating groups have in-
cluded agents of Egyptian in-
telligence sent to Israel for spy-
ing purposes. One of those killed
was an Egyptian who was inter-
cepted on military training
grounds in southern Israel.

The Intolerant Rogers Hornsby
By Harold U. Ribalow
(Copyright, 1963,
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) •
He is dead now, the great
right-handed baseball hitter,
Rogers Hornsby, who had a
lifetime batting mark of .358
and hit .424 in 1924, the highest
average in the 20th century.
There is no question that
Hornsby was a great ball player.
He was, however, a prejudiced,
intolerant man, and Bill Sur-
face, who worked with Hornsby
on the player's autobiography,
has written an essay for the
Saturday Evening Post (June
15, 1963), stressing Hornsby's
hatred for people, and Jews in
parti ;Mar
This is especially intriguing
for Hornsby was involved in
the career of Andy Cohen, a
Jewish pioneer in major league
baseball, back in the mid-1920's.

You will recall that the New
York Giants gave up Hornsby
in order to allow Andy Cohen
to play second base for the
Giants in 1927. Hornsby was,
of course, much the better
player and hatter, and when
the newspapers compared the
achievements of the two men.
Cohen always ca.me out second
best.
Hornsby was not only superior
as an athlete; he also disliked
Jews, as Surface tells us. In
the SEP article, Surface writes
that Hornsby was a hard man
and not a likable one. "His
apparent prejudices," he writes,
"against Jews and NegroeS
were shocking but, on examina-
tion, turned out to be simply
two items in a long account-
ing against the world."
•Later on, Surface describes
Hornsby's reaction to Jews in
another context. The publisher
of Hornsby's book had wanted
the former star to come East to
promote the -volumne. He
couldn't make it and the pub-
lishers called him about it.
"Now, look, you New York Jews,
don't get smart with me,"
Hornsby said. Surface told him,
"The sales manager isn't Jewish.
He's Irish." What was Horns-
by's reply? "All those guys in
New York is Jew."
I wonder what he must have
felt when the Giants got rid
of him and gave over the
second-base position to a guy
named Andy Cohen? Upon re-
flection, too, I no longer wond-
er why Hornsby didn't succeed
as a manager and was shunted
about from club to club and
had his difficulties in his last
years 'with horse-racing being
his obsession). He was a bitter,
biased man and Surface's article
does Hornsby no credit. There
is more to life and baseball
than hitting 400. Hornsby struck
out in the game of life.
U.S. Army Will Train 114 Israeli Troops on Hawk Missile Use
WASHINGTON (JTA)—
A group of 35 Israeli military
technicians will arrive in the
United States next month to be-
gin training at the Redstone
Arsenal, Huntsville, Ala., in the
use of the U.S. Army's Hawk
air defense missile. U.S. Army
sources said that a total of 114
Israeli military men will be
taught in this country to use
and maintain the Hawk system.
While Pentagon officials said
that no contract has yet been
signed, the imminent arrival of
Israeli military personnel in
connection with training in the
Hawk system indicates that
negotiations for the sale of the
missiles to Israel are drawing to
a close and agreement may be
reached soon.
A second group of Israeli
technicians is scheduled to re-
port to Fort Bliss, Tex., in Au-
gust to begin drills in Hawk
missile firing. Some time next
year, seven Israelis will under-
take a course at Fort Belvoir,
Va.
Israel is buying the super-
sonic mobile missile to counter
a dangerous buildup of air strik-
ing power in Egypt. Although
,
built to knock down low-flying
airplanes, the Hawk has shown
it can intercept battlefield type
missiles like the U.S. Honest
John missiles which have a 12-
mile range. Earlier this month,
the U.S. Army set in motion a
project to improve the Hawk's
ability to engage tactical bal-
listic missiles, the kind that
might be encountered by a field
army.
