They Said It

Foreign Minister Subandrio of Indonesia, welcoming his nation's world champion badminton squad after Thomas Cup victory: "Those boys have done more to give Indonesia confidence than anything before."

Bill Norman, Detroit's new manager, after winning half a dozen in a row from the Yankees: "I'm just trying to use some of the things Pop [ Casey Stengel] taught me when we were both in the cucumber league."

Sterling Slappey of the AP, estimating U.S. chances against Russia in track and field this July if points for men's and women's events are counted together: "As certain to lose as a balloon in a pin factory."

Chiharu Igaya, Japan's Dartmouth-educated Olympic skier, of a back-home ride in a Tokyo taxi—called "Kamikaze cabs" by his countrymen: "Just like ski-jumping in a fog."

Max Exber, Las Vegas bookmaker, with a sigh of relief as the Giants slipped from first place: "If the Giants win the pennant we lose more money than if any other team wins it. They were [at 50 to 1] the long-shotters' long shot."
