American League All-Stars Fall To Bigger Bats, Better Pitching
By GERALD EWING
Kansan Staff Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Baseball's 40th anniversary All-Star game was supposed to be a contest of equally matched teams, but it turned out to be a horrendous mismatch. The American League All-Stars stunned the American League All-Stars-7, Tuesday night at Royals Stadium.
The key ingredients for the muscatunne were the National League's stifling pitching and overpumping hitting. It was the 10th of the national innings in the last eleven All-Star contests.
The American League scored its only run in the second inning on a headload double by Reggie Jackson of the Oakland Athletics and Jeff Hornsby of Amos Olsa of the Kansas City Royals.
Packed Parking Lots and Seats Were Sure Signs of Royals Stadium's All-Star Affluence
After that, it was the National League but the way. The American League got only three more hits; another single by Ots, a double by John Mayberry of the Royals and a triple by Buddy Bell of the Cleveland Indians.
The scoring continued in the fourth innning, when Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds hit a home run to increase the lead to 31. It was the third All-Star home run for pep-up vote-getter in the All-Star roll. It made it to the NL in three innings to ever hit three All-Star game home runs.
THE NATIONAL LEAGUE scoring started in the third inning with two runs, which scored on singles by Cesar Cedero of the Atlanta Browns and Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves.
Another run was scored on the fifth on a double by Joe Morgan of the Reds and a booming home run over the left-center field wall by Bobby Bonds of the San Francisco Giants. It was Bonds' first All-Star Game home run, and it was hit off Billing Sister of
the California Angels. Bonds was named the game's outstanding player.
The final two National League runs came in the sixth innning while Nolan Ryan of the California Angels was pitching a Ran Sontà of the Chicago Cubs opened the innings with a 6-4 victory out later by the third national League run by Willie Davis of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Although the American League lost, the partisan crowd of 40,849, the largest ever in Royals Stadium, apparently enjoyed itself. Kansas Citizens were pleased to watch their hero Anos Ots and John Mayberry collect three of the five American League hits.
THE CROWD, which consumed large amounts of beer, peanuts and popcorn.
received an unexpected message from President Nixon, commending Mr. and Mrs. Ewing Kaufman and the baseball leagues for the game.
The message, displayed on the 12-story high scoreboard, received some applause and some jeers from the boisterous crowd. Also of interest to the crowd was the in-

Ehrlichman Contradicts Nixon
WASHINGTON (AP) -- John Ehrlichman told the State Senate Watergate committee Tuesday that President Nixon believed the Elsberg心理学破伤inist break was "well within both the constitutional duty and obligation of the presidency."
The former top domestic adviser to Nixon acknowledged in testimony that he had approved a covert operation to examine the medical files of Pentagon Papers figure Daniel Ellsbur, but that he did not have a break-in in mind.
Erichlerman's statement about Nixon contradicts the President's own remarks of May 22, in which he said he would have argued any illegal means of obtaining information by a hushhush White House unit investigating the 1970 Pentagon Papers case.
ERLICHMAN TESTIFIED that last March some weeks before he quit amid heat of the Watergate scandal, he had been reviewing the Ellsberg matter with David Young, a member of the secret White House investigating unit called the plumbers.
"I may well have," he said. "In that period of time I did have a conversation with the teacher."
Ehrlichman was asked if he had indicated to Young that Nixon had known about the break-in or felt it was a properly legal matter.
ERHRLICHMAN DID not acknowledge any prior approval of the September 1971 break-in until after close questioning by the court. The trial was examined by a memorandum.
Then while conceding he had approved "a covert operation be undertaken to examine all of the files still held by Ellsberg's psychiatrist" he maintained he thought "that one way or another this information could be adduced by an investigator who was trained and knew what he was looking for."
But said Ehrlichman, "if you are asking if this means I had in my mind there would be a breaking and entering, I certainly did not."
THE APPROVAL on the memo said the
operation was okayed "if doe so not traceable."
Ehrlichman explained this as meaning 'I was not keen on the concept of the White House having investigators in the field and known to be in the field. I don't think from a relations standpoint from a public policy standpoint that is a desirable situation.'
Ehrlichman opened his testimony to the Watergate Committee with a declaration of innocence and attributing blame for the cover-up primarily to John Dean III.
"I AM HERE to refute every charge of
White House Says Nixon To Challenge Subpoenas
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House said Tuesday that President Nixon would challenge subpoenas that demand that he produce White House evidence related to Watergate. A spokesman refused, however, the request. He might do if court rulings were against him.
Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren said Nixon abided by the law, but declined to promise that the President would respect any specific court ruling that he must turn over tape recordings and documents sought in subpoenaes from the Senate Watergate committee and special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox.
Nixon has until 9 a.m., CDT, Thursday to respond.
WARREN SAID Nixon would respond by that time and that his response would be consistent with his past refusal to produce White House material.
It seemed probable that his lawyers would seek to have the subpoenas killed on leasures.
Atty. Gen. Elliot Richardson said in a statement Tuesday he believed Nixon had 'substantial legal and constitutional' rights to turn over White House evidence to Wang Yu.

illegal conduct on my part which has been made during the course of these hearings" said Ehrlichman, the former White House counsel. Mr. Ehrlichman was heavily involved in the cover-up.
The heaviest of the morning's questioning by committee chief counsel Dash concerned not the Watergate but activities of the so-called White House plumbers unit especially its break-in to the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist.
Erlrichman who supervised plumbers' chief Egi Krog declared: "I considered the special unit's activities to be well within the President's inherent constitutional powers and this particular episode the reason for it, likewise to have been within the President's inherent constitutional powers as spelled out in 18 U.S. Code 2511."
ERRLICHMAN THEN said he had talked to Nixon in March and "He expressed essentially the view that I have just stated that this was an important a vital national mission and that he considered it to be well within the limits of obligation and function of the president."
Former Alty. Gen. John Mitchell earlier testified that when he found out about the 1971 Elsberg break-in shortly after the attack, he refused to leave fear the President would "lower the boom" and jeopardize his own re-election. Ehrlichman said he disagreed with this testimony.

this enchanting little boy more than I do today.
I've been with him when he was ill and would not accept comforting; when he played at the park; when his new brother came home from the hospital; when he was scolded for digging in the garbage or playing with the television.
I've caught him after he'd fallen from chairs, and slapped his hand for playing with a stick.
HIS LUNGS CARRY the power of a mighty 747 and he is liberal with his screams. He is also liberal with smiles and hugs.
His vocabulary consists of three words: Marna, Dadadada and Mmmummmm, the latter expounded most often while eating a popsicle.
Cigarette smoke and dogs fascinate him. ADISON IS AN average little boy. His frustration level, as with most 18-month-olds is low. He is not very patient and when it is convenient for his busy mother, when he is first feels a switch of hunger.
Madison is very lucky. His parents love him dearly. Unlike Madison, their tolerance

A great many children are not as lucky as Madison. They are children of parents who fled to Europe and survived.
ACCOording TO JEANNE FISH of the University of Kansas Medical Center's Child Protection Team, child abuse exists in epidemic proportions.

AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM in determining the extent of abuse is private physicians who cover up for wealthy parents, she said.
Fish said that accidents were the leading cause of death in children under five. Because of the large number of abuse cases that go unreported, it is almost impossible to know how many of these children were victims of abuse, she said.
psychological abuse and do not report it are liable for prosecution.
The policy in the emergency room at the Medical Center is to admit a child if, in the doctor's opinion, his injuries are questionable.
FISH SAID THAT a battered child returned to the home when treatment for it had been over.
The Team, operated out of the Medical Center, consists of representatives from the Johnson and Wyandotte Mental Health Center, the Elyse Touraille Court and Family and Child Services.
Fish said that the primary goal of the Team was to protect the child.
IN CASES OF ABUSE, a typical court decision places the child in a tote house detention facility.
"We are not interested in prosecution, but rather therapy for the parents." Fish said.
A group therapy program with parents
