Time is Growing Short

1t is about time that Congress stopped dilly-
dallying with draft legislation. The present law
viii expire Saturday unless an extension act Is
passed between now and then. But House and Sen
ate have waited until the latter part of the session
to consider the selective service problem, despite
urgent appeals for action by President Truman,
Defense Secretary Johnson, the Joint Chiefs of
Staff and others. It is hard to understand
congressional apathy in view of the repeated
pleas Of military authorities who insist that
standby draft law is an essential element of the
security program.
The Senate was to take up today q bill
recommended by its Armed Services Committee,
but If predictions of prolonged debate are reliable
the chances Of prompt passage of the measure
areTatter slim. Besides, If the Senate bill should
pass In its present form 1t will not be easy for
the conferees to reconcile 1t with the House.
approved version.
In its major provisions, the Senate bill
closely follows the suggestions emanating from
the Pentagon. 1t would give full authority to
the President to order inductions when an
emergency develops. The House bill, on the
other hand, has an unwise provision against
inductions except by specific approval of Con-
gress. This proviso should be eliminated, 90
that the military services will not encounter any
delay in making use of the law if crisis should
call for quick mobilization. The Senate bill too
contains an amendment that is bound to retard
final action on the measure. It would give in
ductees the right to say whether or not they
preferred to be segregated.
The Senate and House should rise above
politics in the short time left to consider and
enact an adequate extension of the draft law
There would be little doubt of quick agreement
on an undiluted bill if both houses put thoughts
of the November elections behind them and
concentrated on the needs Of national defense

Red Pattern at PeekskiH

New York grand jury has described the
Peekskill rally of Communist forces in defense
OF Paul Robson last September the first full
scale demonstration of the power of the Com
munsts to mobilize their militant forces quickly
and in sufficient strength to constitute poten-
tial challenge to the authority of government"
The description accords with the facts revealed
about the mobilization of a Communist security
guard" of $500 men armed with baseball bats
an outgrowth of previous disorders at Peekskin.
The pattern closely resembled that which has
become so we'll known abroad during the rise of
communism. The grand jury's report will be of
value in recognizing the Red threat in this coun-
try and in countering 1t, but there is need for
general hySteria.
The grand jury pointed out that circum-
stances were just right for q successful show of
Communist strength at Peekskill It is doubtful
that the Communists could stage a similarly
powerful mobilization In any other part of the
country. For conditions in the Westchester Coun-
ty. area were especially favorable to the organiz
ing of the Robson concert" and Communist
march last September. The region, about 40 miles
north of New York City, is notoriousy summer
camping" place for Communists not only from
New York but from points outside the State. The
grand jury remarked that each summer the regu-
lar populations of such towns as PeekskI and
Courtlandt and of other communities are swelled
by an influx of visitors, including "active minor
ties of Communists and Communist sympathiz-
ers." More significant still, there are established
camps which, the jurors asserted, really are re-
cruiting indoctrination and training centers of
the Communist Party
1t is against this background, therefore, that
the disorders at and near Peekskill must be con-
sidered. The demonstration was designed not to
preserve order, as the Red leaders avowed, but
Tn nrnv0ke disturbances What the jurors had tn
say, therefore, about ill-adviSed vigilante move
ments to meet the Red tactics is sensible. "Patri-
otic and loyal Americans, both as individuals and
groups" the report said, must be on the alert
against being drawn into Communist traps which
may be set for the purpose of inviting situations
that might encourage violence" That is emf
nently sound advice to ignore which Is to play
into Communist hands. The Communist menace
can best be defeated by combination of level
headed education of the public and effective law
enforcement by the constituted authorities

or RajahS who sat on the board, the
British appointed Malay magistrates to
pass on minor cases In their own dis
trictS. Altogether this seemed a very
sensible and just way of governing the
odd assortment of races inhabiting this
far-distant corner Of the globe.
The sultans became reconciled to the
new rule. The British made much OF
them and gave them titles. and gilt stars
and orders that they pinned on the front
OF their native badjouS. or coats. The Brit
ish also saw to 1t that they were we'll

that the sultans without effort on their
part were able to live happily with their
wives and fighting cocks, and the stray
goats and chickens that wandered about
their compounds. But most of the day
they sat on their soft mats and stared
into the sunshine chewing betel-nut,
which they kept In small exquisitely
chased boxes of gold or silver.
Little by little the rule Of the land
passed from their hands. But they sat
in the sun and were content that 1t
was so.
Much was achieved under Western pro-
lection. In its place now we find paraly-
sis. and apprehension Of the black cloud
rolling across Siberia and into China
proper-threatening the peace and Sc
curity Of all Asia.
Who can read the future?
It has taken the United States a long
time-too long-to acquaint itself with
world geography and waken to the sig
nificance Of these little known countries,
and the menace threatening them-and
their relation to the security Of our own
country and the world.

Irritunt

A great many Americans will be eter-
nally grateful for the most clear and
rational picture of the American Com
munist Party yet in print. In reading
this article in The Sunday Star, by
George w. Cornell. I hope the implica-
tions of the single sentence, But sincere
or not. the party serves as a constant
1rritant against complacency." were not
overlooked by your readers. Many who
rant and rave over radical groups do not
remember. or even realize, that it is only
from extreme groups such as this that
pressure accumulates for any type of
social progress. 1t is the compromise
between this political irritant and equally
rabid reactionaries that represents real
progress.
Most Americans regard with disgust
and horror the type of government now
enslaving Russia. It has been said that
whenever men revolt to start new order,
they begin by destroying everything good
in the old. This seems particularly true
of the Soviets. But communism thrives
on mans inhumanity to man. Empty
stomachs and leaky roofs afford an
endless source Of recruits. with nothing
to lose and desperate hope of some
thing to gain.
believe that responsible people in
this country are gradually beginning to
realize that capital cannot operate in
dependently of. labor. and that while a
responsible union owes it to the nation
not to abuse its hard-won rights, capital
on the other hand has an equal respon-
sibility not to exploit labor.
1t will not be Mccarthy caterwauling
about the dangers of a Red tide that
will permanently cripple the Communist
Party. It will be Americans selling
America. Amy mother can tell you that
it Is far easier to get child to do
something than to prevent 1t from doing

OF them. will admit privately. The big political
prize for which he made two unsuccessful bids
the presidency-now seems beyond hope Of at
tainment for him. So there can be no just
criticism If he has decided to give up politics for
good. His decision undoubtedly will hurt Repub-
lican prospects in New York State. But the
Republicans will have to make the best of that.
After all, they cannot expect Governor Deweys
vote-getting ability in New York to carry the
party along forever.

Justice Still Debating
On Job With Redskins

Charley Justice debated today
whether to play pro football with
the Redskins, but club officials
frankly thought there was little
chance that the former. North
Carolina star would sign. ~
. Justice himself arranged a sur
prise conference yesterday with
George Marshall, Redskin presi-
dent, and Coach Herman Ball. He
seemed satisfied with the terms
offered and apparently wants to
play. but can't make up his mind.
"The situation is still the same
as it has been for the last four
months" said General Manager
Dick McCann. But we don't want
the fans to get the impression
that the Redskins are using JUS
tice as bait to sell tickets. We'd
like to have him, but it's up to him
to decide what he wants to do"
Meanwhile, Sammy Baugh is
ready for action against the New
York Giants tomorrow at Griffith
Stadium and probably will get as
much as he wants. Harry Gilmer
is slated to start in the quarter
back slot. but Baugh's short passes
figure to be more successful against
the Giants speedy secondary than
Gilmer'S long ones.

George Washington University's
search for a plunging fullback to
fill the shoes of the graduated AL
Du Golf can stop with Bobby
Cilento. Cilento was Du Goff's
substitute last season and natu-
rally didn't see much action while
that talented player was gathering
all sorts of yardage and scoring
IL touchdowns. Now as head man
himself he is taking over in fine
fashion.
The 180-pound junior from
Newark, N. j.. sparkled last night
as he scored all three touchdowns
as the Colonials defeated West
Virginia. 21-14, before 8.007 at
Griffith Stadium for their second
victory in three starts. All his
scores were on short. bulling
rlunges through the line and all
were needed badly. Until Cilento
banged across at critical moments
the Colonials were we'll on their
way TO belng upset.
His first plunge of l yard in the
third period followed by Johnny
Shullenbarger's placement tied the
score at TT. Midway through the
fourth period he came up with a
4-yarder to tie the score again at
l4-14, and with 3l2 minutes left
he banged across from 3 yards out
to give the Colonials their one
touchdown triumph.
Davis Is Passing Star.
Cilento also did some fine pass
ing, although Handy Andy Davis.
playing so minutes of excellent
football, was the outstanding star
in that department. Davis COM
pleted IT of 81 passes for 267 of
GW's 316 aerial yards and as
usual also was an ace runner and
defensive safety man. Davis
didn't get in his regular so min
utes of football, needing about 10
minutes of rest between the first
and second periods after being
slammed, but hard, while breaking
up West Virginia pass.
Davis kept the Mountaineers
very loose with his passes to
Charley Jones. Bill Szanyi, Jim
Kline and Charley Butler, with
Butler as his best catcher. Jones
generally is Handy Andy's prin-
cipal target. but with the Noun
taineers watching him closely.
Davis pulled switch and tossed
to Butler frequently. Butler did
some fancy catching, too, pulling
in six aerials, several of them
spectacular circus catches, for "a
yards.
A 35-yarder to Kline and two
shorter ones to Jones set up GW's
first touchdown in the third
period. Tosses of Is and 10 yards
to Butler did likewise in the
fourth and still another of 81
yards to Jones near the end of
the game put the ball where Ci-
lento could bang across on the

Tulsa Favored 10 Beat
Hoyas by Touchdown
In Game Here Today

Tulsa's Golden Hurricane, boast
ing q powerful ground game and
good passing attack, was a one
touchdown favorite over George
town for this afternoons game at
Griffith Stadium at 2:30 o'clock.
Tulsa's 36-man squad arrived by
plane yesterday and went through
a light workout at the stadium.
Tulsa was seeking revenge for
three previous Hoya triumphs, two
of them regarded as upSets. Their
last meeting in 1948 in Tulsa was
won by Georgetown, 1877. This
year the Hurricane opened with a
20-13 victory over McMurry, then
lost to San Francisco, 23-14. The
team was idle last week while
Georgetown was taking. a 34-14
defeat from Penn State in its
opener.
Both Use T Formation.
Both of today's opponents use
the T formation. Georgetown
goes with the standard tight T
while Tulsa has a variation of the
split T in which the backs are
less than 2 yards behind the line.
Georgetown figured to have
both a better running attack and
better passing this afternoon than
it did last week. Much time has
been spent adding variety and
speed to the ground maneuvers
of such sophomore ball carriers
as Bugs Thompson, Ralph Char
ney, Jack O'Mahoney, Gino Pag-
luica and Dick Doyle. Charney.

Of 18 last week. Georgetown's
ground gaining total of 80 yards
last week would have been quite
a bit higher except for the yard
age deducted when these passers
were smeared for heavy losses.
Tulsa is rightly proud of Half
back Jake Roberts, so far the
leading ground gamer of Missouri
Valley teams. He is 200
FOUNDER with both speed and
power. He has a deceptive style
of running that makes him appear
slower than he really is. Playing
only the second half of the Nc
Murry game, he gained 1873 yards
and made two touchdowns.

Michigan State Rated
Only Slight Choice
Over Maryland
By MerreII WhittIesey
Stor Stoff Correspondent

EAST LANSING, Mich, Oct. Z
Maryland faces the key game on
it's 10-game schedule today and is
hopeful of catching Michigan
State either gloating over last
weeks triumph over Michigan or
looking ahead to the Notre Dame
test three weeks from today.
Michigan State naturally is the
favorite here, but apparently
Maryland's potentialities have
leaked past the borders of the
Southern Conference, because the
Spartans are favored by a slender
margin. The official odds give
the Terps 8 points.
Rain is forecast for late this
afternoon, but if it holds off until
after game time the attendance is
expected to hit about 43 900 in the
$4,000 capacity Michigan State
Stadium. That's a big crowd to
the Terps, but not to Michigan
State which played to 97,239 last
week at Ann Arbor when the Spar
tans beat the Wolverines, IA to Z.
Michigan State was the second
ranked team on the Associated
Press poll last week and a Mary
land triumph today would boost
the Terps to possibly their highest
national ranking of all time, de-
spite the Georgia defeat.
The Terps' squad of A arrived
here at 2 pm. yesterday after a
three-hour flight from Washing
ton. The players were treated to
the usual sightseeing tour in a
fleet of new cars and then gath
cred for a meeting in the hotel.
Coach Jim Tatum is firm dis
believer in practice the day before
a game, regardless of the opposi-
ton.
Maryland is at full strength,
while the hosts will have all but
Willie Thrower, the Negro school,
boy and freshman passing star
from New Kensington, Pa, ready.
Thrower received a tremendous
pre-varsity buildup here, but he
has been in for only two or three
