doesn't?
Tatum thinks one of the big
faults is that people are butting
into the game without proper
research. He thinks it is time
for the coaches to protect them
selves, and stop knocking another
who is more successful.
He believes college presidents
should clean house at home before
pointing to some one else and
tearing down another institution.
He believes that people not in
football, including judges, should
know what they are talking about
before they make statements.
While there was general re-
sentiment at Maryland yesterday

an investigation of football at the
State school, Tatum said he

The Maryland coach also wants
the public to know how many of
the Maryland football players
would be in school, getting a COL

wasn't for football.
Big Jim also asked how the
budgets of the other sports would

Sonny Wise is a major league
baseball prospect and up to last
night was best known as Eastern
High Schools ace pitcher who
hadn't lost a high school game
in two years.
However, last night Wise scored
twice in the second half on Spec
tacular runs to lead the Ramblers

Catching Broilers Grower
RESPONSIBILITY

Growers and professors should
be more careful in catching broil-
ers which are being loaded for
market.
What can be done to get birds
to the plants in better condition
was discussed at a meeting of the
Marketing Committee of the Del
aware Poultry Improvement Asso-
citation recently.
The committee recommended
that more recognition be given to
the progress professors have made
lin catching, weighing, and load
ing. At the same time, they urged
that more work be done on those
steps for additional savings and
better quality birds. Research
along these lines is badly needed,
said the committee.
Growers should recognize their
responsibility in this. They should
check on points such as: taking
out portable equipment during
catching, not putting too many
birds in one group for catching, be-
ing on hand to supervise during
catching, and keeping professors
informed as to which catching
crews do the best jobs.
The committee also advised that
growers check with the Bureau of
Markets in Dover, on the reliabil-
ity of buyers and the type of Ii
censes they have.
Other items discussed at the
meeting were stronger consumer
education programs and meeting
the demand for ready-to-cook poul-
try.

TN THE WORDS of Air Force
L. Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg,
The prime function of
tactical air power is isolating
the battlefield from enemy
reinforcements." In Korea,
so far. this has been impos-
sible because of restrictions
on bombing arteries and de-
pots In Manchuria.
However, the job for tactical
supporting air power in Korea
is still enormous. Largely.
target priorities fall into
three groups: The enemy air
force, troop reinforcements
and supply lines and 'front.'
line battlefield targets. De-
pending on day-to-day condi-
tions in the ground fighting,
the emphasis on tactical air
support can be shifted so as
to concentrate on the most
pressing problem.
Many times, the most
urgent effort is required in
support of infantry which Is
holding a line against heavy
attack. In this type of opera
ton, the utmost cooperation
between air and ground COM
manders Is required. First, a
front-line Air Force controller
is asked by the local ground
force commander for air sup
port. This message is relayed
to the airfield through divi-
sion headquarters. The re-
quest is weighed against the
number of planes available

Art Is Long and Not DeductibIe,
Tax Collector Tells Riggs Bank
10-Yeor Depreciation
OF Presidents Portrait
Is Issue in Dispute

A portrait Of Robert v. Flem-
ing, president of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank, has become a point
of contention between the bank
and the Bureau of Internal Rev.
!enue, it was learned yesterday.
Painted by Grace Kempton, who
had recently completed a portrait
of President Truman. the Fleming
picture was unveiled with cere-
mony at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art in September, 1948, then hung
in the board room Of the bank,
The dispute with the Internal
Revenue Bureau began when tax
examiners of the bureau refused
to pass the banks expenditure on
the picture, $500, as a deductible
business expense.
The bank is now trying to get
the bureau to let it charge off the
picture over a 10-year period as
depreciating property.
Banks and insurance COM
panies have been buying portraits
of their officers for years." said
Mr.. Fleming when asked about
it. mo question ever was raised
about this before in our expert
ence. I never wanted my portrait
painted anyway. The board was
after me for four years to get il
done. The money involved is not
important"
There is an idea that good
portraits appreciate rather than
| depreciate. But that is not the
