Once beaten Bethesda High
School trounced the only team to
whip it all season last night by a
17-point margin and many observers
are wondering today just what
happened.
In knocking off Blair, 47-30, at
Ritchie Coliseum, the Barons got
revenge for a one-point setback
registered by the Blazers two weeks
ago on the same court. No one. not
even Bethesda's most enthusiastic
supporters, expected such a one
sided victory.
"We just played differently" ex-
planned Bethesda Coach Al Vogt.
That court in the Coliseum is
about 20 feet larger than ours and
in the first game we played a slower
game to conserve energy. That
didn't work, so this time We went
back to our old style of moving and
maneuvering.
I'VE controlled the backboards
too. Don Schneider and Sam
Towne we're under the boards all

Fred Genau, as was expected
was the big gun In the scoring de-
partment with 81 points. At least
half of his shots were from long
range.
Practice "Al the Time"
"Genau's a great scorer" said
Vogt. "All these boys in Bethesda
take their basket ball seriously.
They all have backboards in their
back yards and practice all the
time"
The Barons were in front through
out. They ran up 60 lead in the
first minute of play and coasted
along, pulling far ahead in the
fourth period.
While Bethesda was avenging its
only loss, George Washington High
of Alexandria, was keeping its rec
ord clean. whipping Wilson High in

Favored in 1oday's
Inter-High Games

Eastern and Central figure to
climb q mite in District public high
standings this afternoon. They are
favored to win their games at the
Armory over Anacostia, and Roose-
welt, respectively. That would pull
the Ramblers into a second place
tie with Coolidge and release the
Vikings from the fourth-place tie
with Tech into which Tech moved
yesterday.
Tech pulled up by defeating Bell
yesterday. 81-31, while Wilson kept
its slate clear and remained atop
the standings by downing Chamber
lain. 1920, for its sixth straight tri-
umph. Those results were as ex-
pected and it's likely that Wilson
will keep its lofty standing. It's re-
manning games are against Western,
Roosevelt and Eastern, and of that
group Eastern appears the toughest.
The Tigers already have cinched a
place in the playoffs.
Today's Central-Roosevelt tilt is
a replay of last years title game,
which Central won handily, F-28.
The Vikings are using three regulars
from that championship team plus
a number of top reserves in their
attempt at a second straight title,
while Roosevelt's players are mostly
newcomers.

What Next For
Germany?
By BRADFORD V. CARTER
LPA COlumnist

THE retirement of Gen Lucus Clay, US
Il military governor in Germany, presents the
US with last opportunity to correct many of
the errors that our occupation authorities
there have made.
Altho they can't say so publicly, many
high ranking officials in the State Dept will
admit privately that mistakes of real magni-
tude have been made The report of a special
committee-Which the State Dept. with great
difficulty persuaded the Army to appoint
published last week demonstrates that our
policy on industrial organization in Germany
has been flop.
The picture which emerges is that the Clay
regime used the slogan of Decentralization
which liberal Americans believe in but which
the German unions don't think can Work-to
reject the German workers demand that the
heavy industries come under public ownership.
But then the US authorities failed to vigor
ously implement the Decentralization policy.
German workers, a number of visiting
trade union representatives with whom talk
ed last week made plain feel that they have
gotten the run-around industrial manage
ment problems, and basic politcal-con-
stitutional question too.
Thev believe that the US has pressured
their political spokesmen into accepting COM
promise constitution under which the power
of the future German central government VIII
be Inadequate to cope with economic ana
social problems.
The old pre-Hitler ruling clique-part of
which was pro-Nazi, and the rest, at BEST
neutral--has with American assistance al
most succeeded in returning to power, the
German unionists charge.
However, they believe, it's not too late yet.
With the German people soon to vote on What
sort of leaders they want under the new con-
stitution, and with civilian commissioner
about to replace the military governor as the
chief American official in Germany, a chance
for the ennergence of a democratic regime
exists,
Much depends upon whom President Tru-
man and the State Dept choose as the first
US civilian chief in Germany It Is assumed
that the Job will 60 to John McCloy, former
Assistant Secretary of War, a conservative
banker by temperament and background
While no one familiar with McCloy's rec
ord considers him in anyway pro-fasclst, they
do doubt that his bankers approach is what
is needed in Germany today.
A number of trade union and liberal
spokesmen in New York and Washington are
wondering why President Truman doesn't of
fer the post to Charles LaFollette, former pro-
gressve Republican Congressman from In
diana.
LaFollette you may recall resigned as
governor of one of the three states in the
American zone of Germany when Clay in
sisted upon his enforcing a curfeW directed
at the German labor movement, because of a
riot it had nothing to do with
The German union with whom l talked
asserted that LaFollette within the limits OF
his power as a state governor, was a good
friend of German democracy. They would
welcome his appointment.

was the performance of Southern Demo
Gratis who backed the Administration and
the Republicans who voted against the
punitive Wood Bill. Both groups deserve
a vote of thanks from the unions.
Nobody who knows politics will dis
pute the assertion that there was direct
connection between the CLOS Southern
drive and the number of Southern Demo-
Gratis who opposed the Wood Bill.
And nobody who understands politics
will doubt that more and more pro-labor
Congressman will be elected in Dixie in
the future as the CIO keeps increasing its
membership in the region.
