Before the Horse Is Stolen

Invasions of one after another of Europe's neutral

Where Do They Stand?

Up to the first of this week, not single Maryland
Congressman had signed the petition to revive the ex
tension of the Hatch Bill which was ceverly knitted
by the House Judiciary Committee short time ago.
Are to understand that our Representatives are
opposed to the measure?
This piece of legislation, already passed by the
Senate would extend to State employees paid in part
in full with federal funds the political restrictions
already levied federal workers by the original Hatch
Act, which became law last year. Better known as the
clean politics. BILL it would prevent such State work
from taking part in political campaigns and would
protect their salaries from raids for party contri-
buttons"
Shady is a mild term for the manner in which the
Judiciary Committee killed the proposal to bring the
measure to the House floor Enraged by this skull
duggery supporters of the bill started gathering sig
natures for petition to force the bill onto the floor
of the chamber Almost enough members already have
signed this petition.
Our legislators, most of whom received what might
be termed votes of confidence in the recent primary
elections not among the sgners. Their constituents
entitled at least to know why And they don't want
to hear any stale arguments about the faulty draft
ing" of the measure, either That the contention

now develops that Senator Radcliffe defeated Mr. Bruce
because the Senator had the support of the Washing

These two eminent writer's are among the amateur

effort to purge Senator Tydings two years ago. At
that time they were harsh in their condemnation of
Mr. Radcliffe for his support of his colleague They
have commented ever since the fact that Mr.. Rad

of his refusal to behave like good little rubber stamp.
Now they would have believe that their brain trust
colleagues won the primary for him.

he has offered very handsome speci-

And up to date he has failed to
get his way, which will make 1t all

Football Impossible to Judge
Without Some Mistakes

Not all the squawks reach the
headlines. I have heard from many
sources that certain winning plays,
such as passing the ball forward
on laterals, have been on the IL
legal side.
This was the charge made against
both Michigan and Columbia in the
Penn and Georgia games. A Georgia
photographer dug up the first pro-
test, but the angle camera takes
can make a difference OF 10 or
II feet. So that ones out. The
officials. after all. are in charge OF
the game and doing the best they
can.
Football is a completely impos-
sible game to judge or handle per-
fectly. Looking down on the field
with no obstruction, I've seen many
penalties that should have been
called, but were overlooked in the
action of % men who often shut
off an officials vision.
But no good comes from any post
game squawk - especially on the
part of the loser.
In regard to illegal forward pass
ing, most laterals are hair-line de-
cisions. 1t is impossible to pass
ball backward to a runner in front
of you. So more than few OF the
laterals technically are illegal. But
they are matters of double-split Sec
onds, difficult to follow.
