O'COnOr Calls On
Physicians For
Health Program

Herbert R. O'Conor, Democratic
Senator from Maryland last week
called upon the medical profession
70 take the initiative in working
out a positive medical care pro
gram "to halt the progress of
movements looking to socialized
medicine"
In a letter to the governing
board of the Maryland Medical and
Chirurgical Faculty, he said:
From present indications some
program providing medical care
is due for adoption by the Con-
gress soon. 81 have previously stat
ed my attitude as being opposed
to Federal control of the practice
of medicine or Federal control of
medical education. But if we are
to halt the progress of movements
looking to socialized medicine,
such as had been adopted in Eng
land and New Zealand, then we
must have a positive program
which will afford protection to the
health of the American people at
all levels.
"Such leadership should come
from the medical profession"
Senator O'Conor praised the
Maryland system of medical care
for the INDECENT and suggested
that with necessary modifica-
tions" it might be applied to the
entire country.
He warned the medical profess
sion that if it does not take the
lead in formulating a workable
program, "the members of the pro-
fession will have no justification
later for complaining about the
inadequacies of any system that
finally may be established"

Spring Around The Corner
Baseball Plans Afoot
page EIGHT

One of the smartest moves the
Rockville Red Sox sponsoring COM
mittee has made since the team
was organized was disclosed re-
Gently when they reported the
signing of Harry Beane as mana
ger for the coming season.
Mr.. Beane has been active in
baseball in Montgomery County
for over Is years, being long asso-
rated with Rockville teams during
most of his playing career as a
third baseman. His valuable ex-
perience and ability to get along
with players should prove valu-
able asset to the Red Sox team.
Mr.. Beane's many Rockville friends
will be glad to see him back in
Rockville as a participant in the
upper county league after playing
last year with the Bethesda team
of the lower county league.
Shortly after he agreed to take
over the management, Mr.. Beane
announced that he had been sue
.cessful in signing three new play
ers to Red Sox contracts, which
should make the team a real con-
tender for the upper county title.
Number one on the list is Paul
Burner who attended high school
in Rockville and has been playing
sand lot ball around the county for
the past few years. Last year as a
pitcher he had a Ia and 2 record
but is capable of playing a lot of
first base and is considered enc of
the most dangerous hitters in the
county.
~ Mr.. Beane also announced that
he had signed one of the most
promising young pitchers in the
vicinity when Arson Ball agreed
to pitch for the Red Sox nine. Ball
was with Potomac last year. His
addition to the Red Sox roster
should enhance their chances con-
'siderably.
Another welcome addition to the
team is Elmer Saffell, catcher.
'Saffell possesses a very strong
throwing arm and is a real power
hitter. In addition to the above the
Red Sox will have one of the
leagues heaviest hitters in big
Hank" Giauque who can slug the
old apple with the best of them.

. Hank" struck out only twice all
last year. "Bucky" Stull should
also see a lot of action this year
with his ability to get on base and
his excellent fielding ability. Others
from last years squad who will be
around this year are Tommy
Crown, Jackie Freeburger, Bill
Terrell, Monty Bradshaw, Francis
Hutchinson, Gene Thompson, Stan
ley Johnson, Kelley Emmerson and
Buddy Briscoe.
Mr.. Beane has indicated that he
will assemble his squad at the first
sign of spring in order to have
them in top condition for opening
game some time around the last of
April.
The Red Sox sponsoring commit
tee met with representatives from
the Rockville All-Stars to talk over
plans for improving the playing
field and stands at Welsh Field to
make it the outstanding ball park
in the county. The subject of night
baseball was brought up for dis
cussion and a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the feasibil-
ity of such an undertaking. It was
agreed by those present that with
the facilities on hand, lighting
equipment could be put up with
only small amount of money and
would pay for itself over a period
of couple of years. The commit
tee, headed by George Boise, felt
that if the county would only
grant permission for continued use
of the field, this project could be
put over and that the hundreds of
baseball fans in and around Rock
vile would show their loyalty by
turning out in even greater num-
bers.
This is the first of a series of
articles on teams of the Upper
M n g emery County Baseball
League. Burtonsville will be in

Deny Delay Tactics
In TideIands Fight
BY the Assoeio,sd Press

The States of Louisiana and
Texas filed briefs with the Supreme
Court yesterday denying they are
using delaying tactics" in their
battle with the Government over
tidelands ownership.
Louisiana charged in its brief
that the Justice Department Is
trying to get the court to discrimi-
nate against it.
Texas said it ''ill behooves" the
Government to rush proceedings.
Both States were answering a
Justice Department assertion last
week that both were using "de-
laying tactics" by filing various
documents before the court. The
Government contended that be-
cause of such tactics" the court
should decide the case at once.
The court may have something
TO say on the dispute at its next
session Monday.
Meanwhile, Everett Mattoon,
California's assistant attorney
general, expressed resentment at
treatment he said State officials
received from Federal authorities

of legislation to give the States
clear title to submerged coastal
lands. Mr.. Mattoon told Of recent
closed conferences with top Fed
eral officials in which efforts were
made to reach a compromise on
who should control valuable Of
shore oil deposits.
He said the results of the con-
ferences had been practically nil.
TN spite of many concessions
made by the State officials in
their desire to bring about under-
standing. harmony and mutu-
atty" he said, "the impression
given by some of those represent-
ing Federal agencies was that the
States were to be regarded and
treated as naughty and precocious
