Maj. Gen. U. s. Grant III, chair
man Of the Planning Commission
found only one consolation in the
action of the conferees. That was
what he termed the token" appro-
priation of $159, 600 for park land
purchases in nearby Maryland. The
Planning Commission had sought
81 300 900 to extend the park system
into Maryland. Its just q token
payment" said Gen. Grant, "but at
least Congress did not repudiate this
policy"
The small sum win enable the
commission to start the purchase of
park strips along the branches Of
streams In areas such as Cabin
John, Bethesda, College Park and
Anacostia.
Gen. Grant viewed with dismay
the wreckage Of al hopes for getting
Washingtons' slum clearance and
redevelopment program under way.
The $4,000 item knocked out by the
conferees was all that remained of
the original 3,461 500 requested in
the Presidents budget for launching
the $4,000, 900 program in WASH
ington. The rest Of the money had
been eliminated by the House.

Prices Excessive
AT viers Mill,
Johns Charges
Housing Inferior
Throughout, He Tells
Congress Hearing

Brooke Johns, Montgomery County
commissioner, charged today that
homes in the controversial viers.
Mill Village housing development
are overpriced and inferior from
top to bottom
In a stormy testimony before q
House Expenditures subcommittee
investigating the low-cost project
near Wheaton, Md, Mr.. Johns said
the homes, priced at $500, should
sell for no more than $500.
The subcommittee is investigating
charges that the 1,400-unit project
is faulty constructed and that Vet
Grams Administration and Federal
Housing Agency investigators have
over appraised the one-family
dwelling for veterans.
The hearing got off to a lively
start when Representative Lanham,
Democrat, of Georgia, asked Mr..
Johns whether he opposed the
project because its low cost would
bring the county low taxes.
Johns Shouts Denial.
Mr.. Johns leaped to his feet and
shouted:
mo. I would welcome low-cost
housing from a builder who would
get only a 10 or IL per cent profit"
Mr.. Johns said he had visited the
party finished development about is
times with builders who led him to
believe that materials and workman-
ship there "are about as inferior as
they could come"
In answer to another question, Mr..
Johns said he has had experience as
builder, but that IT feel I am too
intelligent to build on this type Of
market"
At one point, the Montgomery Of
fetal said he was told that the
Viers Mill builders placed a cost Of
$4,000 on a county building permit
but that a county official had
changed the figure to $4,000.
Seeks to Question Official.
When Mr.. Johns said he would
like to question county officials
present about that matter, Repre-
sentative Snyder, Republican, OF
West Virginia, subcommittee chair.
man, told him the group is inter-
ested only in the activities Of Fed
eral agencies.
IT think you'd better start an
investigation in your own State
about that" Mr.. Lanham declared.
Maryland will have to pay Tor
that"
"In do that" the commissioner
replied. u
Mr.. Johns said the development
Is located ION one of the most
beautiful knobs In our country"
But homes are being placed there
Like mushrooms that are popping
up overnight he said. . sAs
Mr.. Johns said he was told It
would cost about $500, 900 to run q
trunkline sewer into the project.
It is his understanding. he said.
that the veteran buyer will have
to pay for this, eventually" .sr-
WV Oficial eAssaifs Project,
Earlier, Eugene A. Grady, housing
chairman of the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars, United States Treasury Post,
leyeled strong criticism against con-
struction at the project. He listed
10 items which he said represented
poor workmanship.
When he began to talk about CT
loans for Vier Mill, Mr.. Lanham
reminded him that although Federal
agencies have appraised the project.
there is no evidence that loans have
been closed.
This project may be as bad as
every one says it is," Mr.. Lanham
asserted, "but I am taking for
granted that the VA and FILA will
make sure any faults are corrected
before any loans are finally guar
anteed."

How to Get a Loan

~ Cling editor of a community
weekly newspaper made an inter-
esting-and profitable-discovery
He found that the president of the
local bank was a pushover for a
small loan if he could be moved to
riotous laughter. Thereafter, when
ever he needed little money to
meet a payroll or pay his paper
bill, he would go over and tell the
banker a real rib-tickling funny
story and obtain loan. The editor
brought the banker one of his best
anecdotes, but the latter didn't
laugh-and he didn't lend the editor
any money either.
A few days later the editor was
passing the bank, when its presi-
dent spied him through the win
dow, and broke into a veritable
paroXysm of laughter.
Come in, John, and get that
money you wanted" he called out.
"You know, it wasn't until this
morning that l caught the point of
that joke you told me the other
day"
What did you do after that?" a
friend asked the editor.

tor retorted. After that l always

The -Four HOrsemen

There have been many stories
told about the Four Horsemen of
Notre Dame since they rode to vic
tory over 20 years ago, sweeping
the plains from Army and Prince
ton to Stanford at Palo Alto.
You may remember their names
Harry Stuhldreher at quarterback,
weight 1854; Don Miller and Jimmy
Crowley at the two halves, around
1862 and 1854 Elmer Layden at full
back. 1862.
Some of the main arguments
that always break out when
their names come up are:
"What did they all do? Who did
the blocking? Who did the ball
carrying? Who did the kicking?
Who did the tackling?"
This was undoubtedly the great
est pony backfield, pound for pound,
in football history. The average
weight was around 100 pounds.
There wasn't man on the job at
165 pounds or higher. Yet it ripped,
ran and passed its way from coast
to coast with a series of victorious
thrusts.
One of the main arguments start
ed when Don Miller, now a high
toned Cleveland judge, stopped me
before the ArmyNavy game a year
ago and berated me soundly for
picking him as blocking back.
81 never blocked a guy in my
ife," Miller said with much indig-
nation.
told this to Elmer Layden,
recently. Layden laughed. "Tn
tell you the TRUTH" he said. I'VE
all had to block. We all had
our blocking assignments, even
bowling over the two ends, help
ing take out tackle, or han
die the secondary.
"Stuhldreher was probably the
best of our blockers, but we had to
block. Miller, Crowley and l han
died most of the running Stuhl-
dreher did the passing, but we we're
more of a running team than a
passing team. We all had speed l
could just shade 10 seconds-say
94s for the 100, and the others were
about the same. did the kicking"
Also the pass interference, sug
gested. In the Stanford game
against Ernie Nevers and others
LaydL1 intercepted four or five
passes, running two interruptions
back for touchdowns.

Scrub to Coaching Star

PRACTICALLY every one Of the
long parade of great football
coaches has come from good or
better football players - Camp,
Haughton, Rockne, Little, Crisler,
Bierman, Neyland, Thomas, Hick-
man, Voigts, Yost, Heisman, on and
on indefinitely.
l can recall but one exception.
His name is Bill Alexander Of Geor-
gia Tech, one of the top coaches
of all time.
Alexander headed north from the
red clay hills of Georgia to accept
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-12-31


ander was never a college star. He
was on the scrub team at Georgia
Tech in 1907, 1908 and 1909 before
he became John Heisman's assist
ant in 1912.
Bill Alexander, physically,
was never quite equipped to be
college star. But, mentally
and psychOlOgically and emo
tionally he was far beyond most
of the greatest players the game
has ever known.
He knew football. He knew the
ply steal side of football. But, bet
ter than most, he knew the value
of deception, of using speed to
match weight and power.
When John Heisman left Georgia
Tech in 1920 to go to Pennsylvania,
Alexander took over and set up a
brilliant record for the next 25 years
until he turned over the job to Bob
by Dodd in 1915.
In that time, Old Man Alex had
won seven conference champion
shipS-he was named the coach of
the year in l942-and he had baff1ed
and bewildered more rival coaches
than anyone l know, with lighter,
faster, smarter working material.
1t was lack of weight and power
that bowled Tech over this year.
Bill Alexander is footballs
leading philosopher. He has
known the game from the front
line for over 40 years. He has
marvellous sense of humOr-
an amazing understanding of
values.
Here's an Alexander story that
goes back exactly 20 years to 1928
and explains Alex:
Georgia Tech was playing its final
game of the season against Notre
Dame, This game meant staying
home or going to the Rose Bowl.
"How are things?" l asked.
"How would l know" Alexander
said, Il haven't seen the team in
three days. I've had 1872 tickets to
collect and deliver to old grads.
Say, who're we playing?"
