"One Of our troubles was taking
too long to flnd the right men for
certain positions said Wilbur
Moore, Redskin backfield coach.
Wen be all right next year, think,
but We took too long this season. =
This had the unfamiliar ring Of
heresy-highs treason, at ieast-but
no, Head Coach Turk Edwards said
the same thing. Several changes
Uncle Turkey made recently pannet
out nicely and he's kicking himself
or would like to-for not acting
sooner.
For one thing" Turk pointed out
"I thought Fred Boensch looked bet
ter At guard than at tackle when
first saw him in training camp. but
our tackle situation was so desperate
I kept him there against my bettel
Judgment, hoping the guards woulc
come through for us. Boensch was
only a fair tackle, but with his speec
and size he has the makings Of q
great guard. He's been outstanding
since we moved him, but it was too
late to pull us out of our tailspin."
Another standout at guard againsI

prise, surprise-Ki Aldrich. Ths
veteran Texan was charging aroune

it seems that his retirement will

XII halfway hinted he'd exchang,
his cleats for carpet slippers aftel

Other Major Factors.
Other factors in the improved lint
play are the addition of Johnny
Sanchez, Don Avery's improvement
and the consistent work of big Johr
Adams and little John Steber. The
latter two have anchored the in.
fantrymen all season and without
them it would have been a sorry
season indeed.
Moore thinks the Tribes backfielc
will be much better next season fol
a couple of reasons. First, he sus.

Increase Of Refugees
Curbs Effectiveness
OF Relief for Greeks

ATHENS, Dec. 10 (CDN) So
many Greeks have become refugees
in the past few months that the
effectiveness Of our $5o. o.000. 900 relief
and rehabilitation program Is being
undermined.
Congress authorized this program
-inaddition to the $500 900 900 ear
marked for military assistance and
economic reconstruction--in the
hope that a large part OF Its funds
could be spent on hospitals, orphan
ages and other productive rehabili-
tation projects.
Now it seems that most OF the
$50 100000 will have to be spent on
direct relief.
Plans Often Revised
Herbert Lansdale. the American
missions director OF relief and re-
habilitation, has had to revise his
plans three times In order to allow
for the increasing number Of ref
ugees
He originally intended to limit his
direct relief expenditures to the
285. 900 persons who were refugees
in September. When he completed
his plans in october their number
had increased to $4,000. Now there
are at least 10000 refugees.
In other words. 10000 persons
require relief today who were self
supporting when the program start
ed in September.
Some of them fed from their viii
lages as result OF Communist at
tacks. Most of them, however, were
evacuated from their villages by
the Greek army.
The army reasoned that If the
more exposed villages were evacu-
ated 1t would be unnecessary to de-
fend them against the Communist
guerrillas.
Army Action Blamed
Thus the army, to save. itself
trouble, unconsciously played the
Communists game by adding to the
relief problem in the congested
towns and cities. 1t also helped to
reduce food production by encour-
aging peasants to leave their farms.
A number OF villages were spared
destruction, and several hundred
lives were undoubtedly spared, but
the chief effect Of the army's evacu-
alton program has been to strength
en- the position of the Communists.
1t was great mistake. as the
Army now admits, and the refugees
are gradually being returned to their
villages which the Army, this time,
has promised to defend. But the
harm has been done and a great
deal OF time and money has been
wasted
