the Capitol, legislators mulled
over testimony that the cost of
mobilizing the Nations civil de-
fenses would amount to $3.1 bill
lion over the next three years.
The estimate was presented yes
terday by James j. Wadsworth,
acting deputy administrator of
the new Civil Defense Admins
tration, who outlined cost
sharing-plan under which the
Federal Government would spend
about $1,67o,OoO,OOO and State
and local governments would as
sumo 100000 of the civil
defense bill.
Figures Stir Reactions.
Those figures brought varied
reactions from members of the
Joint Atomic Energy COMMITTEE,
who held a lengthy hearing yes
terday before relinquishing civil
defense matters to the Armed
Services Committees.
Chairman Mcmahon of the
Joint Atomic Energy Committee
said he expects the program will
cost more than that. He predicted,
however, that Congress will ap-
prove the estimated budget.
Senator Millikin, Republican,
of Colorado. said he does not be-
lieve civil defense officials have
gone into the problem deeply
enough to determine what the
Federal share should be. AS for
the State share, the Republican
leader commented: That's a lot
OF money for the States to put
out"
Senator Millikin, who heads the
conference of all Republican Sen
ators, said he thinks this session
of Congress will approve an in
terim measure to authorize ex-
penditure of enough money to tide
over civil defense until compre-
hensive plan can be worked out.
The House and Senate Armed
Services Committees, however,
both scheduled hearings to con-
slider pending legislation, to create
a Federal civil defense agency and
to grant its administrator sweep
ing powers. This legislation would |
replace the agency created by ex-
ecutive order last week with Mil
lard F. Caldwell, jr., former Gov
ernor of Florida, at the helm.
Representative Durham, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, who in
troduced the legislation and heads |
the House Armed Services sub
committee to consider it, sched-
uled hearing for pm. today.
Kefauver Calls Hearing.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee, named to head a Sen |
ate Armed Services subcommittee
on the legislation, announced a |
hearing will be held at 2:30 pm.
tomorrow. He said he hopes to
finish the hearings within week
so the measure can get to the
Senate floor as soon as possible.
Vice President Barley settled
the question of which committee
should consider the legislation
yesterday when he routed it to
the Armed Services Committee.
Senator Mcmahon has tried to
get the legislation before his Joint
Atomic Energy Committee. After
the question was setteled, Senator |
Kefauver said he will invite men,
bers of the joint committee to
participate in the hearings.
Outlines 3-year Program.
Before the joint committee yes
terday, Mr.. WadsWortth combined
a progress report on what has been
done and what is planned with his
financial proposals.
He outlines this program for
financing civil defense over the
next three years:
For local personnel, equipment

workers were threatened with
punitive action when they
sought relief from the alleged

Unofficial Ratings.
Also, the division was charged
by the subcommittee with mis-
using the efficiency rating system,
The group asserted that the divi-
sion has an elaborate system in
which employees receive a number
of unofficial efficiency ratings
each year. in contrast with the
one official rating per year which
prevails in other Government
agencies. These numerous unoffi-
cial ratings kept the workers In

Billy Mischou UphoIds Fame
OfCIon With 2O2 Pin Score
By Ben McAIwee

A name synonymous with the
duckpin game was back in the
spotlight today following a sea-
son record 202 string bowled by
Billy Mischou of the Billhimer
g. Palmer Motors team in the
Major District League.
Young Mischou, who for sew
eral years has upheld his family's
bowling fame, reeled off his 202
last night at Chevy Chase to be
only a pin shy of the Major Dis
trict League record held jointly
by AL Wright and Sam Simon.
The big score was made with
a quadruple strike sandwiched be-
tween four spares. It got the
motors team off to a winning start
against the pace-setting Valley
Forge outfit, 673 to 635. Final
counts of lit and 129 gave
Mischou a set of 448, one stick
under the league's season record
held by Ellis Naiman Of AIS Chick
en- House.
Billy also is having a big season
in the Minor District League with
the leading Quality Grill team Of
which his dad Frank is the ace
with a 125 average. Frank for
more than a quarter century has
been one Of the city's leading PIN
men.
Billy's mother, the late Irene
Mlschou, was the first woman to
win a national and city all-events
title the same year. In 1928 she
captured the National Duckpin
Congress and the Washington
Women's Duckpin Association
titles.
Billy's aunt, Mrs. Catherine
Quigley. two seasons ago brought
to an end one of the most remark
able records in duckpin shooting
4,440 consecutive league games
bowled over a stretch of 27 years.
Led by Don Cutsail's 1873 and
432, Valley Forge won the final
two games from Billhimer &
Palmer. climaxing a 1889 team
count with $50 and 644 scores to
maintain a seven-game lead.
Second-place National Bohe-
mian was 81 winner from Gal
liner and Huguely. After dropping
the first tilt. SIT to 623. the beer
men came back with 708 and COS
to annex the final two. Billy Stall
cups 158 in a 428 set and Rocco
Nocera with a 1856 count led Bo-
hemian's big middle game.

Evening star., 1950-12-27
with Bill Leeteh

at some length on the illegal use
Of outboard motors on boats used
to pursue ducks and geese which
have been crippled by hunters.
Simply stated. both Maryland and
Federal law prohibit the shooting
of waterfowl from any motorboat,
and skiff equipped with an out
board motor is rated a motorboat
under the law. You've got to take
the motor off and lay it in the
bottom of the boat before you
shoot.
We have a particular case in
point in which hunter crippled
a duck which fell too far from
the blind for him to kill it on the
water. The guide went out in an
outboard skiff. cut off the motor,
but didn't detach 1t, took to the
oars, shot the duck and brought
1t back to the blind. A State
warden who had watched the
whole proceeding arrested the
guide and he was fined $50.
AS. a consequence, no cripples
are pursued from that blind. Un-
doubtedly the same thing happens
elsewhere, all of which results in a
tremendous loss of ducks. The
gunner, of course. simply shoots
another duck to fill in his game
bag limit.
We can understand why the
Fish and Wildlife Service promul-
gated such law to prevent wa
terfowl from being pursued and
shot from motorboats, and to
prevent game from being chased
off the water to be shot at by gun
ners in nearby blinds. But we
think the law is bad one in it's
application to instances as above
stated, and should be modified or
at least left to the discretion of
the State or Federal wardens. It
defeats It's own purpose in that it
permits more waterfowl to be
killed and results in a tremendous
loss of game which otherwise
would be retrieved and count in
the bag.

.Leohy Picks Oklahoma to Win
Test Between Great Offenses

because the additional space be-
tween each lineman allows room
for the defense to rush the passer
more than in the tight or con-
ventional T. However, the fact
that Oklahoma has such a dan
gerous running attack, and its
system is primarily adapted to
this phase, usually causes the op-
ponent to concentrate his defense
on the running game. This is
where Passer Arnold becomes
doubly dangerous. Like any other
offense. the split T is tough when
properly taught, and Oklahoma
has one of the games best
teachers.
Kentucky's offense is geared ir
the opposite manner. It's passing
attack is the featured weapon, but
when the all important yard OF
two is needed it has a fullback
who is great. He is Bill Leskovar
whose running registers the first
downs while Parilli's passing &C.
counts for the touchdowns.
And. of course, neither Coach
Bryant Of Kentucky nor Coach
Wilkinson has overlooked the
place where most ball games are
won-the line. Each has an ALI
American tackle who is surrounded
by a strong supporting cast.

lures two of footballs greatest
