News of the World At 4 Glance
Tuesday. November 22, l949 CBy The Associated Press

Ilt FItuCl -NdllDIloI tAo0tlllDlJ is debating today whether Ger many should be brought into the European family of nations.
 The 24-day-old government of Premier Georges BidauIt, in con- cert with the governments of the United States and Britain. stands for more generous treatment of Germany. The debate may decide whether the Bidault government will stand or fall.
 France has been Overrun thrice in modern times by German arm ies, many French deputies want the dismantling of German heavy industry continued because of an historic fear of a militarily strong Germany.
 Interior Minister Jules Moch, one Of the pillars of Bidault's coal ition government, was applauded recently by his fellow Socialists for declaring he was against ad- hitting Germany to the Council of Europe-West Europe's consul tative and advisory body.
 Western Allied officials in Der lin today presented a file of evi- dence showing the old spirit of German nationalism is very much alive and kicking.
 An American political authority commented: "The bugaboo of com munist may soon have to tage a back seat. There's competition around"
 The West German legislative halls at Bonn have been ringing more and more with speeches on behalf of Germanism. Rightist parties have won the largest SUD- port in West German elections.
 In the Russian-occupied Eastern zone, Germans gave back civil rights to ex-nazis, who immediate VI banded together within the Ma tionalist Democratic party and lashed out against the communist regimes plan of turning private enterprise into socialized industry.
 Tn Ottawa, field marshal Lord Wavell, former Viceroy of India, said Germany would eventually become a greater problem for the West than the Soviet Union.
 U. s. Gen. Omar Bradley and the U. s. joint chiefs of staff are entertaining at tea in Washington today for Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Britain, chairman of Europe's Western Union de- fense.
 The U. s. state department awaited results of its proposal to 30 governments that they join in a concerted effort to free consul general Angus Ward from a Chi nese communist jail.
 The appeal was made over the weekend by Secretary of State Acheson in an unprecedented move. There appeared little doubt that Britain, France and most of the western nations would agree to bring pressue on the commun- ists for the release of Ward. The big question mark was whether Moscow and the four other Soviet bloc nations would agree to take part in the international move.

Gombino, Hondicoppedm '48,
ToBe Bum or Star With Colts
BY the Asseeietsd Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 12.-If
ever the finger was on a foot
ball player it's Lu Gambino.
Lu is either going to be a
bum or a star for the Balti-
more Colts this season. The
fans aren't going to let him be
just another football player.
Last year he was a bum. or
at least a goat.
The bruising back entered
pro football last season with a
rash of headlines. The South
ern Conference had declared
him ineligible on the eve of a
season in which the University
of Maryland predicted ALL
America honors for him.
Lu burned up the college
gridirons in 1947, scoring ia
points and rushing for more
than 1000 yards in II games.
When his hometown" Colts
signed him the fans eagerly ex-
pected him to carry on in the
All-America Conference. But
the balding runner failed to
produce. He fumbled at several
critical times and before the
season was over the cheers
turned to jeers.
There were some reasonable
excuses, however. Gambino re-
ported after the season started,
thus missing valuable practice
and knowledge of the plays. To
add to his confusion, Coach
Cecil Isbell tried to convert him
overnight from halfback to
fullback..
: Despite his spotty showing,
Coach Isbell and the squad ex-
pressed confidence Gambino
would make the grade-given
time. Luz felt that way himself
and at training camp this year
he promised to make the fans
change their boos to cheers.
fGambino stepped out for the
homefolk Tuesday night in a
public Colt scrimmage. He
showed plenty of signs he's
headed back to the stars.
He was his old Maryland self,
charging around the ends with
amazing speed for a 200
FOUNDER and bowling over
would-he tacklers for extra
yardage. He wound up as the
scrimmage's best ground gamer
81 yards in 10 tries.
During practice, the fans
showed they hadn't forgotten
his butter fingers of last year.
Boos and catcalls rained down
on him when he missed a couple
of warmup passes.
But by the end of the game.

night with an ILL triumph
over Poughkeepsie.
Shepard, one-legged World

which the Timers manage

his salary and the remainder
will come from a fund raised
by a Players Committee.

$4,000 and $4,000 a year. A
Players Committee went out
and raised the money to keep
Shepard on the payroll by
contributions from local mer-
chants and others.

Australian Rackeiers
Battling Italy in Bid
For Davis Cup Final
By the Asseeiotsd Press

RYE, N. Y, Aug. 12.-The big
guns of Australia's Davis Cup ten
mis- team open fire on 1taly's net
men today in the interzone finals
to determine a challenger for the
United States.
Expert opinion. including that Of
the Aussies themselves, is that it
will be the same old story-the
boys from down under sweeping
their way into the cup finals
against America two weeks hence
at Forest Hills.
That's the way it's been the last
five times. beginning in 1888.
There was no cup play during
:1940-5 because of the war. The
United States defeated Australia
in '38, lost to the Aussies in 80,
then returned the compliment in
'46. At and '48.
Italy's best chance to upset Aus
tralia in the best-of-f1ve series
opening today at the Westchester
Country Club would appear to lie
in getting a flying start. That
could happen. for Italy's top
player, the colorful little Gianni
Cucelli, is pitted against the
cratic Billy Sidwell in one of the
two singles matches. In the other,
young Frank Sedgman, Australians
best, tackles Marcello del Bello.
The Australian Board of Strait
egg decided to use Sidwell today
instead of veteran John Bromwich,
the idea apparently being to save
the older star for tomorrow's
doubles. This could be smart
move in view of the current terrific
heat wave. And should both Sid
well and Sedgman triumph today.
Bromwich might even be spared
participation in the doubles, so
that he can be fresh for a likely
clash with the American stars
later.
