...recovered from a loose bone spur in his knee; now he functions with his old, Buddha's efficiency. Last week he was back behind the plate to help a couple of rookie pitchers, Don Bessent and Roger Craig, hold off the opposition and give the Dodgers' sore-armed veterans a rest. At bat, he is once more teaming up with Centerfielder Duke Snider to make one of the toughest one-two hitting combinations since Ruth and Gehrig. Campy settles into the batter's box with sure confidence-legs spread, left foot in the bucket so that...

The C.I.O.'s late President Phil Murray got nowhere in 1944 when he bid for the guaranteed annual wage. But Reuther (who succeeded Murray as C.I.O. president) and his tough, 1,523,000-man United Auto Workers made the most...
