The aging. crippled Washington
Caps open their National Basket
ball Association playoffs tonight
against the New York Knicker-
bockers at Uline Arena. Game
time is $50 o'clock.
A preliminary. starting at tbs,
pits the United States Park Police
team against Mckee Pontiac.
If the Caps lose tonight, their
chances in the best-two- Of three
series will just about disappear.
The two teams meet again to-
morrow night in Madison Square
Garden and play a third game, if
necessary. there Saturday after
noon.
We've got to win tonight"
admits Player-coach Bob Feerick.
The Knicks have a young, fast
club and if we lose tonight it's all
over. We're not 81 or % years old
anymore. Most of us can't 60 top
speed two nights in a row."
Tonight's and tomorrow nights
games will be broadcast over Sta
tion WWDC starting at 9:35. Ray
Morgan will give the y-by-play
description.
Norlander, Gilmur Sidelined.
The Caps will have only nine
men in uniform tonight. Injuries
have sidelined John Norlander
and Chuck Gilmur. So most of
the pressure will fall on the weary
shoulders of Feerick, Fred Sco-
lari, Bones Mckinney, Don Often,
Chick Reiser and Chuck Halbert.
Dick OKeefe and Leo Katkaveck
will be counted on to help out and
John (Hook) Dillon may see ac-
ton.
The Knicks beat the Caps five
times in six games in regular sea-
son play but three of those WASH
ington setbacks were close enough
to have gone either way.
Stopping Carl Braun and Dick
Mcclure are Feerick's big prob
lens. Braun has averaged 20
points per game against Wash
ington, while MCGUIRE has been
netting about Is.
Connie Simmons may sit out
tonight'S game. The giant New
York center has a back ailment
and will be used only if necessary.
Ernie Vandeweghe did not ac-
company the Knicks here. The
former Colgate star is tied up
with mid-term examinations at
Columbia where he is studying
medicine.
The winner of this series ad-
vances to the Eastern Division
finals against the winner of a
similar playoff between Syracuse
and Philadelphia.
Lakers Play Royals.
Minneapolis and Rochester,
meanwhile, will tangle tonight at
Rochester to decide first place in
the Central Division. The teams
ended regular season play deal
locked.
The Western Division playoffs
open tonight with Sheboygan
going to Indianapolis and Coach
Red Auerbach's Tri-City Black
hawks travelling to Anderson.
Fort Wayne took third place in
the Central Division by beating
Chicago, $3.50, in a special tie
breaking game last night. Fred
Schaus scored 20 points to lead
the Pistons.
The Lakers, meanwhile, whipped
the Harlem Globetrotters, 69-54,
in an exhibition at st. Paul. A
crowd Of 9,8o7 fans-the largest
ever to see a pro cage game there
watched the Lakers romp to a
1928 lead at intermission. George
Mikan scored 81 points for the
Lakers, while Harlem's Marquis

The new basic wage for Sydney
will be f8 2 shillings ($17.92), for
men and f6 shilling ($13.6D for
women. Scales in other areas
differ slightly.
The court fixed no date for the
start of the pay increase, because
46 unions represented by the
Australian Council of Trade
Unions now will have to make
separate formal applications for
increases.
The first reaction of union
leaders in Sydney was that the
new wage is not enough. A spokes-
man for a major group of en-
ployers said the decision would
increase Australia's wages bill by
ELS million ($2,925, ,00O.
Each basic wage increase in the

sion means the public will pay

troopers and sheMff's deputies had
been hunting him since Saturday

shoot Pauline Parady, IA. and

Anthony Eden, No. 2 man in
Britain's Conservative Party
chided the Labor government to-
day for slowness in rearming and

would create a reserve of two new
divisions in Britain and a thirc

Eden said:
"That is not enough, either OF

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. H.
The Senate race between glamor-
Gus Helen Gahagan Douglas and
Representative Richard M. Nixon
really has the political wiseacres
guessing.
Both are members of the house.
Mrs. Douglas, a Democrat. is COM
pleting her third term in that
body, and Mr.. Nixon, Republican,
his second term.
Right there the similarity be-
tween the candidate ceases. Mrs
Douglas is 100 per cent New
Dealer and Fair Dealer. Mr.
Nixon is not, with emphasis. Mrs.
Douglas has voted consistently
against appropriations for the
House Un-American Activities
Committee. Mr.. Nixon is a men,
ber of that committee and is
credited with having much to do
with bringing out the evidence
which compelled the trial and
conviction of Alger Hiss, charged
perjury in denying that he
handed over State Department
documents to a prewar Soviet
spy ring.
Try to Fix War Blame.
Mrs. Douglas and her Demo-
cratic supporters try to place the
blame for the Korean War on Mr..
Nixon and other Republican mem
bers of the House who voted
against an appropriation for eco
nomic aid to the Republic Of
South Korea.
Mr.. Nixon says he voted because
the appropriation did, not provide
for military assistance to the
South Koreans.
On the other hand the critics of
Mrs. Douglas recall that she voted
against aid to Greece and Turkey
in 1947, after President Truman
had announced his now famous

Security Check

The State Department has or
dered all visas held by aliens
abroad for trips to the United
States suspended until they can
be rechecked in the light of the
new Internal Security Act, The
Star learned today.
officials said this action was
designed to stop such incidents as
brought protests from Germany
and Italy this week when scores
of German and Italian visitors
were ordered detained at Ellis
Island.
The new order will insure that
all aliens arriving in this coun-
try, after it has had time to be-
come effective, will have been
cleared under provisions of the
new law-or granted special ex-
emptions-before leaving foreign
ports.
All Missions Notified.
kilograms were sent out late
yesterday to all American diplo-
m tic and consular missions
throughout the world informing
them that the validity of all visas
issued before today is suspended
Only exceptions are for displaced
persons. who had to pass even
stricter tests than provided by the
new law, to obtain visas.
Aliens other than displaced per-
sons now holding visas-docu-
ments granting them permission
to come to the United States, SUBJ
ject to clearance at ports of entry
by immigration inspectors-can
get them revalidated only by
satisfying American consuls that
they are not banned from the
country under provisions Of the
new law.
The American missions abroad
were instructed to notify all
transportation companies of the
wholesale suspension of viSas
warning them Of their possible
liability for damages if they trans
ported aliens to this country who
did not have valid visas, and the
aliens were found excludable.
The Stars information was
confirmed in an official announce
ment by the State Department
this afternoon. Michael j. Nc
Dermott. department press officer
said the visa suspension action
was taken at the request of the
Attorney General to stop the flow
of persons coming to the United
States who had not been screened
abroad under the new internal
security act.
Ex-Nazis Feel Effect.
Chief effect of the new law has
been felt by former members Of
the Nazi and Fascist parties or af.
flliated organizations.
The law stipulated that nc
aliens can be admitted to this
country, except in certain specified
circumstances, who:
l. Are now or ever have been
members of "totalitarian" parties
or any of their subsidiary branches
or who write or publish anything
advocating their totalitarian doc
trines. The totalitarian designa-
ton has been applied so far only
