Tech Five 5 Outlook
Not Bad in Spite Of
Lack Of Experience
By George Huber

Tech Highs basket ball team Is In
the middle this season, according to-
the way Coach Dutch Usilaner
figures it. It's not the best in town,
and not the worst Maybe we can
get in the playoff; maybe we can't.
It's shade either way" says Dutch.
Hurting the MaroonS' chances Is
lack OF competitive experience for
most Of the boys. Last year Tech
was in battle for the playof1s all
the way, and Dutch had to stick
with his first I'VE boys. As q result
the subs saw little action. They had
a chance of winning the title last
year and went after 1t, which didn't
give Dutch much opportunity to
build for this season. They missed
by q hair, losing to Coolidge, the
eventual champ, in the semifinals,
and this year Dutch has to start
almost from scratch because none
OF his regulars is back.
Picture Not Too Bad.
The picture isn't really gloomy
though. Several of the 1916 sub
stitutes are around, and while they
didn't pick up a lot of experience
last year they do make good start
toward another team. On hand are
Bob Murray, tall boy who under
studied Swede Olson last year; John
Chase and Buddy Wickers. also no
midgets, and Paul fCookie) Pacini.
Murray is the kind Of boy many
coaches hunt for but few find. He is
Is feet 4, and smooth player in
spite of his height. He's real hawk
off the blackboard and good scorer.
Wickers and Chase both are g.
footers, so Tech will not be handi-
capped, as are some of the teams it
will meet, by lack Of height.
Rounding out what may be
Dutch's regulars are two newcomers,
Mono Lawrence and Carroll Kite.
Lawrence particularly appears a
good scorer. They are using the
usual Usilaner system of a fast
break and lots of running, with
everybody on the team shooting.
Dutch, like other coaches, doesn t
Like to have just one or two stand
out scorers on his team. They can
be guarded too easily. What he
wants, and what he generally gets,
is fair craftsmanship all around,
and as q result his teams always
have been at or near the top. There
hasn't been a season since he took
over that the Maroons haven't been
in the playoffs.
Youngsters Coming Up.
He has some other youngsters
coming up who may see action fire.
quently before the season gets well
under way. The list of potential
regulars includes Bob Curtis, a
third semester boy; Abe Levitan
Fred Warther, Milt Weinstein and
Peanuts Bradley. Weinstein is {
feet S, and as soon as he smooths
out few wrinkles in his play he's
going to be dangerous.
They all saw action yesterday as

test, routing National Training

Programs in the public interest
including special events, civic func-
tions, educational features and spot
news coverage, will be the television
fare of Washington stations when
licenses are granted for the produc-
tion OF video. That at least was the
consensus of those experts who tes-
titled at the television hearings held
before the FEC last week.
:. Production programs will be slower
In developing, with not too many
locally produced dramas or musical
programs in the beginning. These
features will come from New York
or by way of television motion pic
lures. The experts feel that Wash
lngton with its art galleries, its his
torlc shrines, and as center of the
news world will provide many tele-
vision programs for local, sectional
and later Nationwide audiences.
Therefore, as an originating point
for network television programs.
Washington will be most important
and certainly the local stations will
present the best entertainment fea-
lures that will be available.
Who will broadcast television?
The decision by the FEC cannot be
lar of and within reasonable time
after that there will be four televi-
sion stations in the Washington

 There is no cause for discourage ment, still less for pessimism. But are there not nevertheless very real dangers facing us? Has not the lively desire of all peoples and gov- ernments to establish the authority of the United Nations, and to com- bine their efforts in achieving the victories of peace, sometimes been impeded by lack of mutual trust among members of the organiza- tion?"

Portland, Me Aug. l - (UP) - City Manager James E. Barlow met with the city council today in an at- tempt to settle the 17-day strike of 200 public work employees which has resulted in eity-wide work stop page among A.FL. workers. Many CI.O. members were reported ready to join the sympathy walkout.
 The council meeting was called after conference between city off, cials and four-man delegation of the Chamber of Commerce.
 International Vice-President Will liam V. Ward of the American Fed eration of State. County and Muni- cipal Employes, said he was "disap- pointed" with developments and ex- pected an even greater work stop page with no settlement possible be- fore late today.
 Ward said he had assurances from the United Textile Workers of America, Boot and Shoe Workers Union, and the National Maritime Union that their members would join AFL. workers in a sympathy strike today.
 Yesterday President Horace E. Howe of the AFL. Central Labor Union estimated that 98 percent of the eitys 5000 A.F.L. men stayed out of work. He predicted that be- tween 1000 and 5000 C.IO mem bers would walk out today. However, the number idle yesterday was placed at only l,50O by Edward Kessler, secretary of the Portland Chamber Of Commerce.
 The city's transportation system thus far is the hardest hit by the strike. Only emergency busses were operated by the Portland Coach Company which serves more than half the 80,000 residents. Commuters either walked, hitch-hiked or shared rides. Downtown retail stores esti- mated 50 percent drop in bus mess.
 The work stoppage has resulted from the walkout of some POO mem- bers of the public works department more than two weeks ago in de- mand for more pay and union rec ognition. Barlow reportedly is will ing to aceede to the 15-cent an hour wage demand, but has remained adamant in his refusal to recognize the AF.L. as collective bargaining agent.
 Meanwhile, union officials an- nounced firmly that the sympathy strike would continue until the municipal workers walkout is set ted"
 Food merchants said that refusal of truck drivers to work has stop ped the flow of foodstuffs and would result in empty shelves within a few days unless the strike is called of. Meanwhile, no garbage has been picked up in the states largest city for the past week.
