WiIson-Tech Contest
Seen as Ioss-up on
Basis Of Records

Wilson will meet Tech Friday
night at Grifnth Stadium for the
public high school championship
and no one in this department is
going to stick his neck out with
q prediction.
Wilson. Division / champ. looked
the best high school team In this
area when 1t shellacked Anacostia,
4o-6, last. month. Tech looked the
best high school team in this area
when 1t swamped Central. 27-0.
last Saturday. to win the Division
Z title. -
Even the records don't help.
True, Tech thumped Coolidge. 26-
o. while Wilson lost to Coolidge,
o-6. On the other hand, Wilson
trounced Eastern, 34-1S, and East
ern. held Tech to a 6-6 tie.
But these aren't fair compari-
sons. Wilson was not Wilson the
day 1t was beaten by Coolidge any
more than Tech was Tech when 1t
was tied by Eastern.
Both Heavy Scorers.
That loss to Coolidge is the only
mark on Wilson's record. The
Tigers have bowled over eight
foes. running up 205 points to 81
for the opposition.
Tech hasn't done bad either. The
Trainers, in winning six, losing
two and tying one. have scored
252 points to Ill for their oppo-
nents.
Techs complete mastery Of Cen
tral last week was amazing. It
reflected q thorough scouting job
on the part Of FL Solopon's staff.
Indeed. one football player from
Tech was caught with q telescope
on the roof Of Central High dur
ing q practice session last week.
Central Coach Lou Chacos was
visibly upset by the loss. One
could not help but be sympathetic
with the Vikings that day. They
actually were so boxed In by the
Tech defense. they appeared frus-
trated-like q dazed boxer trying
to fight back without the neces-
sary know-how to cope with hiS
opponent.
Tech Secuted Central Well.
The Vikings could do nothing.
Tech had such a keen knowledge
of its opponent that the Trainers
knew what Central was going to
do next on almost every play.
Now the question comes up, how
much does Tech know about VIII
son and vice versa? Tech knew
about Central's Jimmy Sullivan
and his passing arm. Tech stopped
Sullivan. Can the Trainers also
stop Leo Speros. Wilson's top pass
er and runner? Can they stop
Lee Brinson. Wilson's sizzling
halfback. and Tom Sandoz? Can
they get behind Pete Haley, VIII
sons pass-snaring end?
Can Wilson's Tigers slow down
Stan Herman, Techs sophomore
speedster? Can they throw an
anchor on Ray Fox. the public
highs chief point-accumuIator?
Can they match that solid Tech
line-Gaskell, Perkins, Green,
Frain, Rinaca. Collins, Cooke?
Trot out to Griffith Stadium
Friday night and find out.

TO A GREAT LOCAL HERO
FOR QUITE SOME time now a committee headed by
Attorney R. H. Amphlett Leader has had under consideration
q ltuh9 ana appropriate memorial to the late D. Hamilton
Jackson. Nothing could be more deserving of commentator
ana the fullest and most whole-hearted support Of each and
everyone IN the island of st. Croix, and indeed the VIRGIN t.
lands. In tact Virgin islanders everywhere should be given an
opportunity to contribute ideas and funds, and share in This
great project.
JUDGE JACKSON WAS undoubtedly the Islands great
natonal hero. 1t was he who iomneyed to Denmark in the
interest OF the working classes, and it was he who gave birth
TO the 81 Crolx Labor Union, the means through which men
ano women who work may demand that to which thew are
entitled. In founding The Herald" he gave this place its first
free press, the organ which voiced the sentiments Of n and
all, and particularly the Union. Then, envisioning a new davl
OF freedom, social and economic for the great masses. he en-
parked upon a great homesteading program through which
security could be had. Small farms were to be carved ont of
these big estates, and the occupants thereof to have an oppor
tunty to be independent. He had no doubt observed at first
hand the world famed and effective cooperative programs of
Denmark, and had read of the similar work in the Scandina.
Wan countries Under his leadership the Union had its bank
which was another forward looking step, and one which
it successful, would have given the most adequate means of
credit to the small man. Like every other leader and vision
airy he had his enemies-tthose who did not and could not
see, and who fought, with fang and claw his every move.
However, because of this leaders dreams light was shed
in many directions from which the Island benefits today.
IT WOUL NOT BE fair to the memory of such a lead
er it nothing were done, and we would then have our con
sciences to account to, a condition which we would rather
not face. This, then, is the opportunity for expression of
gratitude and appreciation for leadership, fearless and unsel
fish. In covering all angles of the matter we know that the
, 1949-08-23

count every opportunity, and
see to it that the memorial be
more than an empty gesture.
NO mention can be made
OF this effort without comment
ing also upon the plans of the
St. Croix Labor Union. That
organization has every right
to lanuch forth on its own pro-
gram, and express its graft
tude and appreciation as it
sees fit. IF the Union is think
ing in terms of a memorial ait
Grove Place, it is. on safe
ground, for that was the spot
where many a battle was
waged, and that was the piece
OF ground which the people
themselves finally owned free
and clear of the mortgages
which hung over it, even
though under the leadership
of a later president, We see no
reason why the two programs
cannot be carried out, and
why everyone should not be
willing and ready to cooperate
as to both.
IN this entire matter the
spirit in which it is undertak-
en- seems paramount, for we
are confident that this leader
would not have wanted, or
even tolerated any pretentious
program the spirit of which
was prompted by the desire
to focus attention upon any
group, or in any direction ex-
cept that for which it was
designed. In all of this there
fore the prime purpose is to
honor the memory of a man.
else is secondary.
urge the support of every
one, at home and abroad.

In Buenos Aires Embassy |
BY the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. Is
United Statse Ambassador STAN
ton Griffis, a firm believer in
North American movies, has found
way to get around Argentina's
ban on Hollywood productions.
Because of economic difficulties
related to her shortage of dollars,
Argentina has not permitted the
import of United States films
since last May. Only old ones can
be shown.
Mr.. Griffis, chairman of the
executive board of Paramount
Pictures, said he plans to send for
United States films and show
them at the embassy for Presi-
dent Peron. his wife. government
officials and members of the diplo-
matte colony.
He said that even though the
films cannot be shown 20 the
general public, some good will can
be gained by letting officials see
them.
The first showing at the EN-
bassy is scheduled for December
% when the film Samson and
Delilah" will be presented, 48
hours after its New York pre-
miere.

between Austria and the Big -Four
powers recessed here yesterday
An American spokesman said they

Capehart Says Lustron
Got 37-MiIion Loan at
Trumdn's Insistence
By the Assoeioted Press

VALPARAISO, Ind, Dec. 15.-
Senator Capehart, Republican, of
Indiana said last night that a
$37 100000 loan by the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. to Lus-
tron Corp. was made at the in
sistence of President Truman.
Senator Capehart recalled that
he was member Of the Senate
Banking and Currency Commit
tee which studied the RFC loan
to the Columbus (Ohio) prefabri-
Gated house manufacturing con-
Germ.
THE word came over that the
President of the United States
was insisting that the loan be
made" Senator Capehart said.
when we investigated. we found
the place was filled with people
from Missouri"
Charges U. S. Squandering.
The Senator did not say from
whom the word came. He said
the RFC had repeatedly rejected
the loan before word came. His
statement was made in a debate
with Representative Jacobs, DEM
ocrat, of Indiana at Valparaiso
University.
Senator Capehart had said In a
pervious debate at Richmond, Ind,
that the Government is "squan-
dering your money and mine over
in Ohio on Lustron homes" Mr..
Jacobs countered this last night
by declaring that Republican
Congressman who later became a
Lustron official made the huge
loan possible.
Names SundstrOm.
Mr.. Jacobs identified the man he
said made possible the loan by
introducing an amendment" as
"the former Republican Repre-
sentative from New Jersey, Frank
Sundstrom. who later became ex-
ecutive vice president in charge
of sales for Lustron."
Mr.. Jacobs added that another
Republican. Senator Flanders of
Vermont. testified in favor Of the
Lustron loan.
