OBERAMMERGAU.
GERMANY

The village council of Ober-
ammergau, Germany, is seek
ing stars for the 1850 produc-
ton.
In this historic Alpine vii
lage, bearded. woodcarvers
and farm-hands are speaking
again the poetry of the Bible.
The man who played the
Christus in the Oberammergau
Passion Play is under a cloud,
because he applied for Nazi
party membership in 1889 to
keep his hotel license.
The woman who was "Mary"
has gone to Garmisch-P arten-
kirchen to sell souvenirs to
American CTS.
"Magdalene" is a profess
or's wife at Georgetown uni
versity in the United States.
But, Judas" "Peter," "Cai-
phas," and "Pilate" are there,
together with hundreds of
minor actors, all remembering
the Passion Play which they
last presented on it's 300th an
niversary in 1884. They are
practicing once more.
"Do not think that we will
ever present the Passion Play
out of greed" said solemn Bur-
gomeister Heinrich Zunterer.
"It is true that 100000 people
came to see it in 1880, and
again in 1884. Perhaps $780,
900 was received in each of
those seasons for tickets. Per-
haps that is big Business'!''
The Burgomeister says the
plays revival is now delayed,
not so much because of Ger
many's economic chaos, but
because 27O of Oberammer-
gau's young men are still pri-
soners in Russia, "and there is
a gap in training the younger
generation.
The Passion Play theater of
$500 seats, is unsecured by
battle. Behind the wide open
air stage, the costume ware
house is intact with four
crowns of thorns, an armory of
Roman weapons, and 1000
garments from ancient Pales-
tinian designs.
Note: This interesting in
formation was sent by Mrs.
Jack Gooden, from Virgins,
Miss, where she is spend

The war atmosphere they en-
countered among their colleagues
in Washington is sending many OF
the 1000 professors and instructors
who attended the American Political
Science Association convention IN
the Hotel Statler back to their cam
puses somewhat distraught.
What disturbed them was hearing
so much outspoken thinking about
the next war-thoughts which pre-
yiously have been squelched under
Americas academic elms. :.
Two speakers who recently had
been in Russia had somewhat en-
couraging messages yesterday, how
ever.
Willis C. Armstrong of the State
Department, who was in Moscow Tor
two years as commercial attache,
had a word that should comfort
those American exporters who fear
the Soviet Union may eventually cut
them out of markets by ruthlessly
cutting prices. Mr.. Armstrong said
it is his opinion the U. S. s. R. con-
siders foreign trade a necessary evil
at present but would like to abandon
it altogether in a self sufficient fu-
ture.
Speaks on Rank and File.
Frederick c. Barghoorn, youth
full professor Of Yale University, who
returned earlier this year from a
two-year stay in the U. s. s. r. In
which he had travelled from Kiev to
Vladivostock. said the rank and file
Of Russians are well inclined toward
America and are resistant to the
present anti-American propaganda
in the Russian press.
Foreign affairs discussions by
round-table groups filled the rooms
with listeners. The disturbing
element came at a panel meeting
under Bernard Brodie, professor at
Yale. who has written books on sea
power. The subject was Govern
mental Apparatus Of United States
Foreign Policy"
DR.. Brodie, military fan among
intellectuals, had attended high
lever Iu6cGlllSo VI HAA2y oAAASSAe
during the war He expressed some
concern to G. Lyle Belsley, secretary
of the National Security Resources
Board and a panel member, at some
thing he had heard. General Staff
planning and operations officers, he
said, have no, information about the
atomic bomb inventory. Just one
officer, usually a major general, he
said, has the information and is
able to tell the planners only
whether their plans are out OF line
in respect to number Of bombs avail
able.
Explains Spy Activities.
George Pettee, who wrote a book
on intelligence for total war, gave
a guarded explanation of the activi-
ties of C1A Central Intelligence
Agency.

which no one can say much about.

but that no definite decision was
reached. Gilmer also has been
drafted by the Brooklyn team Of
the All-America conference.
In the Sugar Bowl game Gilmer
will match passing skill against
Quarterback Bobby Lane Of Texas.
The draft rights to Layne were
acquired yesterday by the Chicago
Bears in a deal with the Pittsburgh
Steelers, who were given the draft
rights to Halfback Ray Evans,
Kansas All-America star.
McCann said Edwards would see
one of tomorrow,s bowl games, but
was not sure which one. He said
the Redskin coach may attend the
Alabama-Texas game or may decide
to go to Memphis, Tenn, for the
Delta Bowl game between Texas
Christian and Mississippi. In any
event, McCann said Edwards would
proceed to California and return
East with Marshall In mid-January.

Threat 10 Amateurism
Seen in Olympic Row
Bv the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Daniel j.
Ferris. secretary treasurer Of the
Amateur Athletic Union, declared
today in a pamphlet issued from
his office that If the uncertifled
AHA (hockey) team competes
in the Olympics, the death knell
of amateur sports may be sounded"
His attack on the controversial
hockey team which already has
brought the threat of American
withdrawal of all other teams from
the winter Olympics at st. Moritz,
Switzerland, followed closely an
appeal by Gustavus T. Kirby for
the international Olympic presi-
dent to take a stand with the
American Committee.
Kirby, president emeritus Of the
American Olympic Committee, said
that Olympic rules require that all
teams that compete have the en-
dorsement of the National Commit
tee, and that this endorsement will
not be given to the Amateur Hockey
Associations team.
From the start the administra-
tive officials Of the AHA were
actively identified with the avowedly
professional game" said Ferris.

Johns Hopkins Ready
To Begin X-Ray Plan
For Stomach Cancer
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 31.-Johns
Hopkins Hospital specialists an
nounced today they will make 10000
high speed x-ray picture examina-
tions next year to determine if the
technique can be helpful in detect
ing stomach cancer.
Their idea is an adaptation OF the
mass chest X-ray program which
now is being used to detect tuber-
culosis In its early stages.
The present microscopic examina-
ton for cancer is much more COM
plicated and expensive. For ex-
ample, it uses so much more radia-
ton energy that the operator Of the
equipment is in danger of radiation
poisoning If he works at 1t too
steadily.
Some Problems Licked.
Drs. Russell H. Morgan, John F..
Ror,cn and Robert D. Sloan believe
t..sy have licked some of the prob
lens.
working with a grant from the
United States Public Health Service,
they have devised improvements IN
the camera and screens so only a
little more energy is required than
for the familiar high-speed chest x
rays on small film. =.
They also have re-rigged the
equipment so a patient may be ex-
amined while lying down anstead
of standing-an essential for study
of the stomach.
Their apparatus has been set up
in the out-patient clinic at Johns
HOPKINS Hospital. Starting Friday,
it will be used on every man over
40 who comes to the clinic. stom-
ach cancer appears most frequently
in men who have reached middle
age.
Takes About 10 Minutes.
The examination includes six pic
lures and requires about 10 min
utes. To start the Hopkins men
hope to study 40 patients day.
Their next goal is 200 a day.
When the films give reason to
suspect cancer, the patient will get
the full microscopic examination
which now Is standard.
If they have some measure OF sue
cess the specialists visualize semi
annual cancer checkups for mil
lions. At present about 100000
persons a year get chest X-rays.

the enlarged Orange Bowl Stadium
today for the first time to get the
"feel" Of the turf where they clash
in the 14th annual Orange Bowl
football game tomorrow before a
capacity crowd of $4,000.
The stadium has just been en-
larged from its former capacity OF
5000. About 10000 applied for
tickets, all of which were sold
months ago.
A steel shortage delayed the en-
largement program for several
weeks and 1t was not until 10 days
ago that the contractor promised
the stadium would be ready. Work
ing night and day, he barely
made it.
Customary Orange Bowl weather
was forecast and the weather bu-
reau said the day would be mild
and sunny" with gentle to moderate
southeasterly winds.
IT think our club is ready, both
mentally and physically" Kansas
Coach George Sauer said. II think
our line will give a good account OF
itself New Years Day against Tech
1t looks like wide open affair and
there should be a lot Of passing.
Kansas is counting heavily on
Don Fambrough, a Junior from
Longview, Tex, who has kicked 80
extra points out of 40 attempts
with a man like that" Sauer
asked why not?"
Georgia Tech will be st full
strength for the first time since
early fall, but Coach Bobby Dodd
said he couldn't see why the Jackets
ruled a 13-point favorite.
Dodd held only light workouts
since the squad arrived here Satur-
day and decided on his starting
lineup days ago. Sauer still isn't
sure about his opening team.
"The starters in three Of our
positions will depend on whether
we kick or receive" Sauer said
listing them as right guard, quarter
and right halfback.
He said either Joe Crawford OF
Dick Tomlinson would open at
right guard, Bill Hogan or Lynne
McNutt at quarter and Bud French
or Dick Bertuzzi at right half
back.
Kansas will start All-America Ray
Evans at left half and Tech will
have All-America Bob Davis at

|Kramer Credits First
Victory Over Riggs
To Better Lighting
By the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. 81. - Jack
Kramer believes he'll wind up the
victor in his professional tennis tour
if the lighting is as good as 1t was
here last night, when he notched
his initial triumph over Bobby
Riggs, king of the professionals.
The 1947 amateur champion and
Davis Cup hero credited better
liahting at the arena for the deadly
accuracy of his overhead, which
played a major role in his Ga, Ga
decision over bounding Bobby.
1.-THE lights are spaced farther
apart here, and I didn't have any
trouble following the ball." Kramer
remarked after his victory.
Big Jack never missed with his
devastating overhead as he broke
Riggs service twice for the first
win in the third match of their
transcontinental tour.
Kramer also had a pleasant sur
prise following his upset victory
when Promoter Jack Harris pre-
sented him with a check for ST.
500, almost a third of the $50, 900 he
has been guaranteed for the ex-
tended tour that may run into 16
months If European stops can be
arranged.
Last nights crowd Of 1864 was
the largest ever to see tennis game
in Cleveland. The gate totaled
$9,227.
Kramer still was visibly bothered
by heavy head cold. but in addi-
ton to his fine overhead he flashed
nice drop shot to score several
crucial points.
He took the lead for the first time
when he broke through Riggs serv-
ice to win the third game of the first
set. He did it in impressive style,
smashing in three terrific overheads
and running 1t out at love.
In the second set Kramer led 5-3
and held his service to score his in
itial victory.
The pair resume their tour at
Dayton, Ohio, tomorrow.
