Coach Will Need Good
Sales Talk 10 Sign
Cans Next Season

Supersalesman Red Auerbach,
coach of the Washington Caps,
will have to brush up on his sales
line If he hopes to get back his
top stars for next season.
Every summer Auerbach, noted
for his persuasive charms. has had
to bring back q few strays to the
fold. At the end Of last season
Bones Mckinney. Bob Feerick and
Fred Scolari all threatened to give
up the rough grind and turn to
more comfortable coaching jobs.
This year Auerbach will have to
be particularly persuasive. Nc
Kinney, who has been sick and
tired and worried over most Of the
season, says he definitely will not
play with the Caps next year. In
stead. he says. he will be player
coach for a semipro team in
Durham. N. c.. and will finish his
work toward physical education
degree at North Carolina Uni
verSity.
Bones, whose ability and court
Glowing have made him one Of
the top drawing cards Of the game,
is dead serious. He was one Of
the big wheels in the Caps drive
toward the Eastern Division crown
of the Basket Ball Association of
America, but 1t took a lot out of
him. According to Auerbach. he
played in some games when he
should have been in bed. In adj
dition, his wife became Ill during
the crucial playoffs. Bones rushed
to her side in North Carolina one
day, returned the next day and
played against Minneapolis here
that night.
Mckinney is 81 years old and
feels he is getting too old TO con-
tinue the rugged pace.
To add to Auerbacf1's woes. 1t is
well known that Feerick has his
eyes set on q coaching job on the
West Coast. OF course. the money
a top star can earn playing pro
ball Is a big inducement, but If
some one comes along with the
right coachingjob, Feerick can be
expected to pull up stakes.
So II you see Auerbach walking
down the street mumbling to him
self, don't call the wagon, He's
just practicing his sales talk.

jeweled bracelet which the Greek
government gave to the wife OF Eu-
gene Clay, former economic adviser
to the American mission here. will
be returned, an authoritative Amer
ican source said yesterday.
This source said Mr.. Clay had

Embassy in Washington.
Mr. Clay is a nephew of Gen. Lu-
cius D. Clay, American military gov
ernor in Germany. He served more
than a year and half with the
American mission to aid Greece.
Although there was no announce
ment from the Greek government
as to Why its present to Mr.. Claws
British wife was being returned, it
is believed Mr.. Clays decision was
provoked by the sharp criticism OF
the governments action in the
Greek press and in private circles.
TIE Conservative newspaper Estla

that the Greek government could
make the gift but was not able to

Seized BIS Reported
Manned by British
For Flight 10 Egypt
BY the Associated Press

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 15.-A BIS
bomber was seized at nearby Teter-
bore Airport yesterday by Federal
agents, who said it was manned by
British crew and believed bound
Illegally for Egypt.
United States Attorney A. E. Mo-
darelli. who obtained Federal
Court order for conflscation of the
former Air Force plane, said it was
listed as owned by Leonard La Bella
of New Rochelle, N. Y.
Mr.. La Bella had applied for Gus
toms approval to take the plane out
Of the country on temporary per-
nit, Mr.. Modarelli said.
He added, however, that he had
reason to believe the plane would
be flown to Egypt, in violation of a
Government ban on shipment OF
arms to the Middle East.
Mr.. Modarelli said no charges
were placed against the creWmen,
whom he identified as David Bond,
Ivan Thomas, Alfred Clarke and
Julian Angers. The United States
attorney said his records showed no
addresses for these men, but that
all were listed as British subjects.
They will be subpoenaed to testify
before a Federal grand jury next
Tuesday, Mr.. Modarelli said.
The plane had been watched by
customs agents since December %,
when an attempt was made to ex-
port 1t without authorization, Mr.
Modarelli reported.
Eight days ago Government agents
seized another shipment of five mill
tary planes, in crates awaiting ship
ment at a Newark pier. Mr.. Mo-
darelli said they were an illegal
arms shipment, also believed bound
for Egypt.
He said there was no definite in
formation linking yesterdays plane
seizure with last weeks incident.
but that, he would ask a Federal
grand Jury investigation of both
cases.
