In the face of opposition from
Commissioner w. A. Parrish,

in favor of granting a license to
Earl R. Shafer, proprietor of
Harry's Bar, Federal Highway
No. |. Key Largo.
Director Vocelle had previously
sent back an earlier commission

on the ground that Shafer did not
have ownership or hold a legal
lease on suitable building.
The commission had voted APP
prOval of the license at a recent
recessed meeting which Parrish
did not attend. Vocclle said that
it wasn't a legal meeting be-
cause the commissioner nearest
Skaters place of business had not
attended.
Il make a motion that the
commission concur in the finding
of Vocelle not to grant a license
to Shafer", said Parrish.
Commissioner Clarence Hi.es,
when the motion came up for
discussion, said that Parrish ap-
parently did not like Harry Har-

criticised VOcclle for calling the
meeting illegal at which the Ii

for the purpose, said Higgs.

CLOS Angeles, Is; Washington, 14)
kept the Redskins up beyond their
bedtime last night, but in unspool
ing the record of last years setback
by the Rams, Coach Turk Edwards
thought his pupils might take the
lesson to heart and dwell on 1t
tomorrow night at the Coliseum.
Experience, or the lack of it, as
much as anything else tripped the
Tribe. The warriors from the Po-
tomac made mistakes when they
hurt, as they plainly saw last night
and Uncle Turkey" wants no en-
core: Nine Rams who started last
years game are in the lineup
named by Coach Bob Snyder, while
the Redskins have only four hold
overs. But that means nothing, for
it's a veteran team the Redskins
will field, with Leo Mobile, subbing
for injured Bill Ward at guard, the
only rookie in the lineup.
Mistakes will decide the game,
Edwards thinks.
"All this talk about the Rams
personnel is misleading" he said to-
day. "Our personnel is just as good,
in my opinion, and I think the
team that makes the most mistakes
at critical times will be the loser.
We're as big as the Rams. I
think we're as smart and just as
fast If we don't make too many
mistakes when they hurt we can
