.C.Commiiiees Stud,
Bills 10 Extend Area,
Powers Of Planners

Bills to redefine and enlarge
the powers and the scope Of the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission are being studied
by the House and Senate District
Committees.
] Chairman Mcmillan Of the
House District Committee late yes
/! terday introduced . measure to
carry out these objectives. A
similar bill is to be offered on the
Senate side. also at the request OF
the commission.
The measure. recommended by
the Federd Budget Bureau after
two years OF study. has the gen.
eral blessing of President Truman.
1t would rename the commits
sion. enlarge its membership from
10 to Is. provide for an additional
District citizens representative
and make the agency a regional
planning body by extending its
jurisdiction to q radius Of so miles
from the Capital.
Affects d. G. Government.
While expansion of its COM
pulsory powers Is said to be .
relatively minor phase Of the bill,
the proposed legislation would re-
auire planning commission ap-
proval in two specific respects.
District Government buildings
erected in the Washington cen
trail area" for instance. could not
be exempted from the Districts
zoning rules, unless plans were
approved by the planning commits
sion. Also planning commission
approval would be required for
Government buildings and land
use in the Maryland and Virginia
"environs" of the National Capital.
One other change, in keeping
with plans to make the commits
sion q regional. instead Of merely
q National Capital agency. would
be to charge its relatively small
office expenses to the United
States instead Of to Washington.
The word park" would be
dropped from the commission q
name, making 1t the National
Capital Planning Commission.
Members From Two States.
The 10 members Of the commits
sion now include four presidential
appointees, one Of whom must be
District resident; four ex-oficio
Government officials and two
members of Congress.
The new bill calls for four ad-
ditional citizens to be named by
the President including three on
the recommendation Of the Gov
ernors of Maryland and Virginia
and the District Commissioners
The bill would drop the repre-
sentation of the Forest Service
and add the Architect Of the
Capitol and a representative OF
the Federal Works Agency.
Need for such legislation was
indicated by President Truman in
his 1850 budget message to Con-
gress. In which he said: "The
role Of the National Capital Park
and Planning Comm ssion should
be REDEEMED and a stronger
statutory basis established for
the proper development Of the
District of Columbia and nearby
areas in Maryland ard Virginia. !"
In submitting the measure. A. Z.
Demaray, vice chairman and act
ing executive officer Of the COM
mission. said passage OF the bill
would assure comprehensive
planning for the best develop
ment Of the metropolitan region. /"

the idea was brilliant until
the question of funds was raised.

ends, nothing. Surplus for Ii
brary books, nothing. Surplus
for new Grapes for the library,
nothing.
With these facts in mind, the
leadership voted unanimously to
conduct a weekend, to appoint
a weekend committee to arrange
for dances, picnicS, discussions,
Sabbath services, and, if possible,
to secure an outstanding person
atty from Chicago, New York,
or, perhaps Hollywood, to amuse
and instruct the weekenderS.
Then, defiant of both arithmetic,
and the purchasing power of the
current dollar, the group voted
to finance the weekend with an
allotment mot to exceed $50"
The weekend committee swing
into immediate action by arrang-
ing to bring Sara Fogel, radio ar
fist, and lyric soprano for the
Free Synagogue of New York,
who was to sing well-loved Pal
estinian songs, and to lead group
singing. Bands were contacted,
food estimates were carefully
figured.
The cost doomed high, but the
cause was worthy. The commit
tee had no fear. The Lord I'M
doubleday would provide for
them as he had for the children
of Israel in the wilderness. Be-
sides they were going to charge
all those who would attend full
$3.50. Off campus students who
would receive lodgings for two
days would be charged even
more. They would pay $3.50.

Eliminate Religious Prejudice on
Campus?"
Students from all Of Florida's
campuses had attended the at-
fair, which proved an outstand-
ing success and culturally proved
that students, properly encour-
aged, have an earnest desire to
learn more about their people,
and their peoples problems; IL
nancially, proved that faith can
move mountains:
The deficit was less than the
$50 budget allowance. Part OF
the miracle was accomplished
with the aid of the B'nai Birth
of nearby Jacksonville, which in
vited Miss Fogel to give con-
cert in that city, thereby absorb
ing the major part of her travel
ing expense. P. N. Coleman, of
Jacksonville, sponsored the
event, while Louis Safer, the 10
cal B'nai Birth secretary was
able to get members to turn out
for the recital in large numbrs.
The rest of the miracle belongs
to the 500 University of Florida
Hillelites, who started an impos-
sible project, and completed it
with the aid of virtually the en-
tire town of Gainesville.
Having tasted of success, stu
dents now intend to raise the
money to replace the present
Hillel barracks with a real build
ing. How? That's a minor mat
ter. God is on their side.

for housing with the indulgent
townsfolk, and outlined the most
inexpensive manner to feed sew
eral hundred students. They also
completed work on the new am
plifying system, and white-wash-
ed the Hillel House, a converted
army barracks.
Guest artist Fogel arrived at
about the same time in order to
create a Hillel choir for Sabbath
services.
The Weekend began officially
with Friday evening services.
Herman Smell of the physical
education department of the Uni
versity of Florida, then led the
weekenders in a round of folk
dances. The entertainment took
place in a hall, loaned for the
purpose from the University of
Florida without payment of fee.
The dance the following night,
was likewise held on University
premises.
Saturday afternoon; in lovely
College Park, Deans of the Uni
versity, faculty members, and
townspeople joined the students
in a picnic outing. When all
had gathered in a natural am
phitheatre, where the sun shone
through the moss-covered tree
tops, Miss Fogel sang a series of
Palestinian songs. Everyone sang
including both those who knew
no music, and those who knew
no Hebrew. During the remain
der of the afternoon, the group
discussed Should American
Jewry Aid the State of Israel?",
and then joined in a series of in
formal Oneg Shabbat songs,
games, and stories.

propriately enough, over bagels

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Despite

showing an increase of 4.3 per
cent over 1947.
All other sections of the country
were up, paced by the South's 81

Griffith 10 Take
Initiative Today
.0n Yanks' Trade
He and Weiss Lose
Time Waiting for
Telephone to Ring
By Burton Hawkins

If either George Weiss, general
manager of the New York YAM
KEGS, or Clark Griffith, the Mats
boss, will pick up telephone tho
clubs may complete a deal today.
Possibility of a trade with the
Chicago White Sox vanished yes
terday when General Manager
Frank Lane vetoed transaction
which would have sent First Base
man Eddie Robinson and Second
Baseman Al Kozar to Chicago in
return for Second Baseman Cass
Michaels and First Baseman
Charley Kress.-
That cleared the decks for
action involving the Mats and
Yankees, but a misunderstanding
developed. Weiss thought Griffith
was supposed to call him, while
Griffith was waiting to hear from
Weiss. Griffith planned to take
the initiative today in an effort
to complete a trade long in the
making.
Mats Have Little to Lose.
Robinson is the key figure in 4

Washington player OF less distinc-
ton to the Yankees for First
Baseman Dick Kryhoski, Second
Baseman George Stirnweiss.
Pitcher Don johnson and another
player.

Robinson smashed at least two
homers in every park last sea-
son except Cleveland, where he
got one. He batted .294.
The Mats definitely would be
taking a gamble in such deal,
but after finishing eighth last sea-
son they have little to lose. Man.
ager Bucky Harris is convinced
Kryhoski will develop as one Of
the leagues top hitters and is
willing to overlook his fielding
deficiencies. Kryhoski batted 1928
with Portland after sparkling the
Yankees with his booming bat
early last season.
Harris and Griffith also are hop

OF 5 Ring Kings
Dies in New York
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-.
Hymie Caplin, the dapper,
voluble fight manager who
helped make five world cham
pions before he lost a skirmish
with the law, Is dead.
The native of New York's
Lower East Side who became
a fabulous Broadway char
acter died in a hospital last
night at the age Of 48.
He had been Ill a year, dur.
ing which time he and his
friends sought unsuccessfully
to have his managers license
restored in New York.
Caplin was able to get his
standing back in several States,
including Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. but he never hit
the bigtime he enjoyed in the
'30s when he handled some Of
the top fighters OF the day.
He handled five world cham
pions-Middleweights Ben Jeby
and Solly Krieger, Light
weights AL Singer and Lew
Jenkins and Bantamweight
Lou Salica. He also managed
Sid Terris, Allie Stolz, Abe
Feldman and Billy Fox.
The smooth sharp witted
manager lost his license after
he was convicted in the spring
! of 1941 on a charge OF grand
larceny and sentenced to five
to 10 years in Sing Sing.
He was accused of being a
leader in a ring of card sharps.
Upon his release in 1914,

Tatum, NOT Looking
For Job, Says Florida
Has Made No Offer

Jim Tatum, Maryland football
coach, is mot looking for a job, "
he said today in reply to rumors
that he is considering the va
cant coaching post at the Uni
versity of Florida. II don't antici-
pate any move at all" he added.
II have a sincere loyalty to the
University of Maryland" he said
but I have to be honest and say
that, like any one else who is in
terested in helping his family and
in making good living. I would
listen to a good offer"
Tatum says, though, that he has
had no offer of the coaching job
at Florida from any one in a posi-
ton to- speak officially for the
school. He did visit the school at
Gainesville and was introduced to
the president and the dean OF
physical education. but he would
have done that on his recent Flor
ida trip anyway regardless Of the
coaching situation there, he said
Apparently one of the men most
interested in getting Tatum to
take the Florida job is Walter
McRae, prominent Florida alum
nus and a member of the Athletic
Council. But the schools Board
of Control is the body charged
with making the coaching selec-
ton. McRae introduced TatuIn
at Jacksonville Quarterback Club
dinner Tuesday night as the man
most likely to be Florida's next
coach"
Tatum still has three years to
go on a f1ve-year contract. Presi-
dent H. c. Byrd of Maryland said
in a statement. however, that
Maryland would not stand in his
way if Tatum wanted to leave.
The Maryland coach said the
principal reason for his visit to
the University of Florida was to
inspect the athletic plant there
with a view to using it to prac-
tice for the January 2 Gator
Bowl game at Jacksonville against
Missouri. He was dissatisfied with
the high school field lined up for
him at Jacksonville Beach. How
ever the Jacksonville people have
promised to Ak up the field to suit
him.

De Long poured in 80 points
last night as River Falls Teachers
College swamped st. Johns Uni
versity of Collegeville. Mimi,

The 6-foot 6-inch River Falls
center scored 27 points in the
first half to run his total to 2,201
and break the former collegiate
record Of 2.199, set by Jim Lacy
of Baltimore Loyola last March
26.
His total score covers SO COL
lege games at an average of 23.7
points per game. Lacy averaged
only I.8 points per game in
setting his record. The previous
titlist, Brooms Abramovic OF
Salem (W. VaD College, worked
at a pace Of 22.5 points per game
in establishing his record of 2,161
points. His mark held five years
before Lacy took over.
De Long, now in his eighth
semester of college basketball, still
has one more semester of eligibil-
ity remaining.
De Longs best showing was a
72-point night against Winona
