The Caps Also Use Charms
By STANLEY BATTZ

IF YOU THINK the WASH
u ington Capitols have been
ut the top In professional
basket ball for 80 long because
Of teamwork or finesse, have
yourself another think. What's
put them there Is charm
yes, charm!
Not the kind you find In a
drawing room or ON a movie
screen. not the toothpaste-
ad smile and old-world-man-
ners kind of charm. The
charm we speak of goes far
deeper and casts O greater
spell than mere winsome de-
meanOr.
Some call 1t superstition,
some fetishism, some hexism,
some just plain mumbo-
jumbo. whatever you call 1t
the Caps are chock full of 1t.
Hardly q man ON the team
but what has his own private
superstition or his own par
ticular way of propitiating the
fates.
For instance. the team
wouldn't think of leaving the
lockerroom for a game un-
less Bob Feerick went first
and "Bones" Mckinney last.
That's the way it'll be until
there isn't any Feerick or Nc
Kinney on the Caps. The
team long ago decided that
arrangement was lucky, and
who's to say they're wrong?
Take Freddie Scolari, the
high-scoring guard. He never
goes out ON the floor without
taking q dose Of q certain
patent medicine for indiges-.
ton. Freddie. you see, has q
big appetite, and sometimes
he finds himself in discom-
fort before q game. He started
taking the stun long ago, and
by now it's 90 much a part
OF his pregame routine he
wouldn't think of breaking it.

DUR Renews Attack
On FBI by Demanding
CopIon Case Inquiry

Clifford j. DUR, president Of
the National Lawyers Guild and
former Federal Communications
Commission member. has renewed
his attack on the FBI by calling
for an investigation of its methods
as a result Of the reports from FBI
informants disclosed during the
Judith Coplon espionage trial.
Mr.. DUR issued q statement
yesterday saying the National
Lawyers Guild calls upon Presi-
dent Truman to appoint a citi-
zens' committee to investigate FBI
operations and methods.
The former FEC member has
previously criticized the FBI, the
Governments loyalty program and
the HOUSE Committee on Un-
American Activities.
Charges Trend to Police State.
Newspaper accounts of the re-
ports introduced In the Coplon
trial, Mr.. Durr said ARE suffl-
Gent to disclose practices and
policies Of the FBI that strike at
the very roots Of our civil liber-
ties"
He charged that the FBI col
lects detailed information on law
full political activities and opin-
ions of American citizens and
"this growing volume Of dossiers
on Americans suspected of no
criminal activity marks a danger
Gus tendency toward q police
state"
The FBI, he went on. fails to
make adequate checks against
reliable sources on the gossip.
hearsay and rumor" it collects
from professional and amateur
informers.
Asks Wire-tapping Inquiry.
Mr.. Durr expressed doubt that
some of the information in the
reports made public at the Coplon
trial could be obtained without
tapping telephones. He called for
"full disclosure" of the extent of
overlapping by the FBI.
Conceding that use of informers
is necessary under certain cir
curnstances, MIR. Durr said the
"Coplon reports indicate that the
FBI is carrying the practice far
beyond proper limits and is de-
liberately encouraging us to be-
come o Nation OF stool-pigeons."
He said there was a serious
question whether the FBT has any
legal authority TO make investiga-
tions Of the characters disclosed
by the reports.
