AJFBM,SANFMSNAFENFAJ Howard To Yanks: I Want To Manage IT .. y & Pitcher Sam McDowell (left) and coach Ellie Howard look at Joe O’Day Ellie Howard was always a most aggressive hitter. Now the ex-catcher is finally showing the aggressiveness to become the first Black manager in baseball. Attending the funeral of the Yankee Stadium yesterday, where Mayor Lindsay delived a short eulogy while presenting home plate to Mrs. Clare Ruth and first base to Mrs. Eleanor Gehrig, Ellie said: “I’m ready but are they?” It was a two-pronged question aimed at Detroit, where the Tigers are seeking a replacement for Billy Martin and, more immediately, at the Yankees’ triumvirate of George Steinbrenner 3d, Gabe Paul and Lee MacPhail, which is still in a state of shock following manager. Ralph Houk’s unexplained resignation the final day of the season. Howard is on record as seeking the job in Detroit, but now, with the departure of Houk, a pilot’s berth is open right in Ellie’s backyard. ‘IT’S A FACT’ “I still can’t believe it (the resignation),” Ellie said, “Ralph told me and Dick Howser before the game when we went into his office for the pre-game meeting. I said, you’ve got to be kidding. But he said, ‘No, it’s a fact.’ “1 told Lanier about it when Hal got a hit late in the game and he was on first base. Believe me, he was stunned. It was the same in the clubhouse after the game when Ralph told the team and he broke up a bit while doing it. “The players felt the same way, too, as they went into his office for their last good byes. I felt the same way. After all I’ve been with Ralph a long time, both as player and coach.” CO. | BUILDERS SUPPLIES ~IV«YTHINO FOR THE BUILDER" "ONE BOARD OR A TRAINLOAD" IROO FIN G PLYWOOO FLOORING HARDWARE P. o.

Easy-going Concerning the Yankees’ job, Ellie added: “I’d take it tonight. I’ve told Gabe Paul and Lee MacPhail that I’m * available, I also told Mini Campbell (the Tigers’ general manager) that I’m available for that job the last time we were in Detroit. “But if we (the Yankees) could get together, I’d be over here tomorrow to close the deal. But are they ready? WOULD BUILD TO CHALLENGE “Yes, I’m finally ready ... I think 1 learned a lot while coaching under Ralph a few years over which you could get a chance to prove yourself and build up to the challenge.” Asked if there might be some feeling among the players on a Black manager, Howard continued: “There might be some awareness, but not on my part, 1 don’t care what a player’s color is . . . Black, white or purple. It’s a player’s job to produce and hustle, I like winning. Admitting that he had had an offer to manage in the bigs, Ellie added: “I was with the Red Sox then and Bill Veeck tried to purchase the Washington Club. I was to be his manager and he said if he ever got another club in baseball I’d still be his manager. But Bob Short bought the club and that was the end of it.

We never got around to discussing it... I became a coach. “Now I feel I’m ready and didn’t Mr. Steinbrenner have a Black coach when he owned the Cleveland Pipers in the American Basketball League? He certainly did (it was John McClendon) and they have Black coaches in basketball (Bill Russell, K.C. Jones, Al Attles and Ray Scott). “I’m ready, but are they? The phone number in New Jersey is Teaneck . . . heck, they know it.” Paul and MacPhail stood nearby with Mayor Lindsay, but neither would admit there was any immediacy in filling the vacancy created by Houk’s resignation. “During the World Series we’ll find out who’s available,” MacPhail said, “but only as far as players are concerned. That’s the time you put some trades in motion. At any rate, we’ll have a manager by the time of the winter meetings.” Asked what manner of man the Yankees were seeking, MacPhail joked: A winner. Seriously, there is no pattern. The new manager could come from within or outside the organization. Everybody will be considered.” Ellie Howard is ready. Black Leaders Discuss Home Rule With Top RNC Officials WASHINGTON, D.C. - Key Black Republican supporters of home rule for the District of Columbia met October 1 with Republican National Committee Chairman George Bush and Arthur A. Fletcher, Consultant to the Chairman for Minority Affairs to discuss ways to increase the support of House Republicans for passage of legislation which would give D.C. residents the right of self-government. Meeting with Bush and Fletcher were Melvin M. Burton Jr., a Washington attorney who is Vice Chairman of the D.C. Republican Committee; Samuel Jackson an attorney and former Assistant Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and a representative of the Capital City Republican Club and Vice which takes fair account of the needs and interests of both the federal government and the citizens of the District of Columbia. According to Fletcher, “The fact that Black Republicans have taken a key leadership role in this effort to secure President of Dialogue Systems Inc. of Washington and New York.

One of the goals of the meeting with RNC officials and proposed meetings between Black Republicans and Republicans in the House of Representatives is to “clear up some of the gray areas” and bring to the surface for discussion some of the differences of opinion on proposed legislation, according to Fletcher. He noted that the role of the Republican National Committee is that of a broker. Floor debate on home rule in the House of Represent atives has been scheduled for October 9 and concentrated efforts are being made by Black leaders to meet with as many Republican members as possible before that time.
