line on team alCef a game OF
two, but this George Washington
has so many good players and so
much variety that you can't tell
what comes next.
THAT VPI game is good one
to prove what I mean. Andy
Davis gets hurt, and without Davis
CIV is supposed to be without any
punch. So they sub Tivnan for
him and he runs all over the field.
Until then Tivnan is just a de-
fensive player and nobody knows
what to expect. I guess he was
just one of the secret weapons Bo
Rowland (GW coach) was saving.
Flucie Surprised Again.
"The week before against West
Virginia those CIV reverse plays
don't gain an inch. So maybe I
can start figuring we don't have
to worry about reverses. although
the way I look at it you can be
scared of your own shadow when
you play CIV. But anyway. against
VPI those reverses looked like a
million dollars and we have some
thing else to worry about.
And the passing is hard to
figure. We know from last year
that Charley Jones Is the best pass
receiver they have. He was
wingback then and they shifted
him to end this year. but it still
doesn't fool us. We can keep an
eye on Jones. A couple of weeks
ago you see West Virginia keep an
eye on Jones. So another guy
named Charley Butler is pulling
in passes all over the place. I
make a note in my reports to
watch both Jones and Butler.
Then comes up VPI and who
does all the best pass-catching?
That fellow named Szanyi. And
he's good too. Up until that game
they haven't even thrown a pass
at him so I can guess that he isn't
much good. maybe butterf1ngered
or something and they don't trust
him. Shows you how wrong you
can be.
Rich in Passers.
"And they've got plenty of
pasSers, too. Davis is swell, but so
is Cilento. Of the West Virginia
game you'd figure Cilento only as
a runner. Tivnan is a good passer,
too, I think, although he didn't
try many against VPI.
I'm fact they've got a doggone
good football team down there at
CIV. They're scrappy. they're big
and they're we'll coached. Those
boys know their fundamentals,
which is more than you can say
tor lot of football teams. They're
using the single-wing formation,
but the fact that most of the other
teams are using the T doesn't
mean that the single wing is old
fashioned. You can do a lot of
things with it. On that touch
down in the third period when
Baumgartner ran about IS yards
land where have they been keep
ing him?) they put on some of
that old-fashioned single wing
Idownf1eld power blocking. I tell
you that everybody on the VPI
team took crack at him but
nobody touched him even because
they were banged out of the way
by the blockers.
Eyes sir, they've got themselves

CIV. When I turn in my report,

Postal Pay Veto

President Truman applied the rule of COM
mon sense in vetoing the legislation which
proposed to give pay and promotion credit for
time spent in the armed forces to 100000 veterans
coming into the postal service after World War II.
Threatening to cost millions at a time when
the Post Office Department operating deficit is
more than $500 million annually, the measure
was rightly scored by Mr.. Truman as an indirect
bonus and "a far-reaching step in an undesir-
able direction"
The President properly pointed out that the
legislation violated cardinal principle of civil
service by baSing advancement on a factor
entirely unrelated to merit. He also stressed the
discrimination worked against other veterans in
Government employment who have equal claim
to benefits granted by such yardstick, and most
Importantly, he raised the cost issue.
The items cited by the President all are well
known to members of Congress-particu
the revenue angle. The Post once Department
recently cut deeply into various local services
because of lack of funds, and the fact that,
despite this, such a piece of legislation was
approved by the legislators, reflects no credit
on its supporters
If there is any answer, it is of course that
this is an election year, and the veterans and
postal unions are two powerful voting groups.
There probably will be some effort to reverse
the President but this is one piece of business
that should be permitted to lie where Mr..
Truman dropped it,

A Police Recruiting Aid

The Senate District Committees approval
OF f1ve-day week for Washington policemen
is hedged with ifs and butts that may mean that
the action is little more than a gesture Even
this gesture, however, should have a sautary
eHect on the department. The committee made
the change contingent on direct appropriation
OF available" funds Another "if" which might
have been mentioned is the availability of re-
cruits to fill the 300-odd jobs which five-day
week would create.
AS for the cost, it is estimated that about
100000 would have to be added to the 1851
budget of the District and that thereafter the
extra cost would be about $1.2 million every year
Even If the appropriation is made, the dearth
OF qualified applicants for local police jobs would
make immediate operation of the plan on
wide scale extremely doubtful There are already
100 vacancies in the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment. The Civil Service Commission has been
trying to recruit applicants in various outside
localities, without much success.
One of the difficulties in building up the
force is the fact that the department now is on
six-day week, with some members compelled
to work much longer than eight hours a day.
Thus If Congress were to authorize five-day
week for police. the recruiting of new members
would be made easier. The adding of 800 men
to the force would not mean any more police
men on the streets, of course. But it would mean
better morale and hence improved law enforce
ment down through the ranks. The House al
ready has approved the plan. 1t Is up to the
Senate to make the plan operative-even though
its initial effects are only psychological
