The Richard Montgomery Rock
cts swamped Sidwell Friends 81
to IL last Saturday at the home
field, with Gordon Coleman and
his cousin, Billy, scoring all of
Rockville's points.
In the first quarter the Friends
kicker got off poor punt. The
ball took a freak bounce through
most of the Sidwell Friends team,
and Gordon Coleman, playing
heads up football, scooped it up
and ran 80 yards for the first tai
ly. Billy Coleman added the ex-
ira point. In the second period
Stowe bucked over from the two
yard line for Friends first tally.
Then the Rockets really started
rolling with Gordon taking a
short pass in the end zone from
Elmer Lazarus, running an end
around for 35 yards, and taking
a 40 yard pass from Lazarus to
put the Rockets ahead 81 to 6 at
the half.
In the third quarter Billy Cole
man, in addition to making good
four out of five tries for the ex-
ira point, picked up a loose ball
and went over for the fifth and
final Rocket touchdown.
In the fourth quarter a Briggs
to johnson pass accounted for
Friends final score.

Sailors Sad Story
Shows Not All Navy
Men Are Seumen
BY the Assoeiated Press

DALLAS, Dec 10.-A young
Dallas man is living proof that,
because of naval developments, a
sailor today is not necessarily a
seaman.
Here's the sad story Navy Ap-
prentice Airman E D. Steelman,
18, had to relate today:
He showed a small boat from
shore at Mountain Creek Lake.
Sailor SteelmaL couldn't start the
motor. And he hadn't bothered
to bring oars
The wind might have driven
him to shore But Sailor Steel
man couldn't steel to land. The
boat ended up on a bed of silt.
Temperatures we're near freeZ-
ing. Sailor Steel,nan thought he
would start a fire with the boats
wooden flooring But he didn't t
have any matches.
All he could do was shout and
beat on the boat.
Rescuers finally located him. He
hadn't caught cold, he said. That
hoarseness simply was from
shouting.

come away far enough to see
that Franklin D. Roosevelt is
among them. Theodore Roose-
velt and Woodrow Wilson had
the vision to see how our mod
ern machine civilization, organ
lied so that a few had control
over the many, was imposing
shackles on the ordinary man.
They began to unloose those
bonds by putting restraints on
the new masters Of our economy,
so that the individual could be
a free. self-reliant and self.

Franklin D. Roosevelt carried
that on in the many ways with
which we are now so familiar.
Some, of course. never liked
that about him, as they didn't
like it about Theodore Roose-

fact. they came to hate Frank

It is suggested that dictators
cannot exist here so long as
there is free choice, in elections,
by a free and prosperous people.
Dictators rise when people are
desperate and hungry. If
Franklin D. Roosevelt had want
ed to be a dictator he had the
opportunity the very day he
took Office. The occasion was
ripe, with breadlines stretching

Labor will pitch its battle
against Chief Mobilizer Charles

The fact that prices were

direction of still higher levels,
that food costs remain untouch-

ly are rising-these are the con-
ditions which make the

If the situation were being
strongly handled elsewhere in
stead of in piecemeal, fumbling

dents decision and without the
prior consent to Congress. But
now, when the French govern
ment once more has proved It
self unstable. there is a strong
possibility that the members Of
the appropriations committees
may balk. They may ask the
$64 question: How sure is our
Government that we are not
pouring our resources down the
drain by sending them to a po-
litically unstable country like
France?
During his recent visit to
Washington Mr.. Pleven made
an excellent impression on those
who control the Nations purse
strings. In his private talks
with members Of Congress he
showed himself as a strong man,
who means what he says. No
other visiting foreign politician
has created such a strong i'm
preston.
Now the old doubts and ques-
tions about the reliability Of
the French will spring up again.
Evening star., 1951-03-02
Constantine Brown:

Premier Rene Pleven's gov
ernment In France has fallen
after a long-though not un-
precedented-term in Office.
It lasted eight months, while
the average life of French cabi-
nets since the liberation has
been about six months.
The reason for the long life
of the Pleven cabinet was that
he and his associates unques-
tionably were the ablest and
most energetic politicians France
has had at its helm since the
end of World War I.
There Is good reason to be-
heve that optimism about
Frances determination to create
a military force for the defense
of Western Europe, expressed
by Gen. Eisenhower and others,
was based principally on the
fact that such men as Mr..
Pleven, Robert Schuman and
the "irreconcilable" Jules Moch
were in charge Of Frances ma
tional affairs.
In spite Of his personal op-
position to the inclusion of
Western Germany in the Euro
pean defense setup, Mr.. Moch
was a tough man. the type most
needed in France today. He used
a heavy hand in dealing with
subversives and--what is of par
amount Importance - he got
away with it.
The resignation of the Pleven
cabinet at this critical time is a
blow to the Atlantic coalition.
Mr.. Pleven did not quit because
of his foreign policies. He was
compelled to hand over the seal
of Office by the selfish interests
Of party politicians. His former
supporters were jockeying for
power.
Frances electoral laws, which
enabled the Communists after
the liberation to obtain a large
number Of seats in the National
Assembly, must be changed. On
this point all but the Com
munists-and their bitter OPP
ponents, the De Gaullists-are
agreed. But the numerous So
cialist factions, which oppose
each other but always unite in
a vote to overthrow the govern
ment, insist on a new law which
would favor their individual po-
litical groups.
Mr.. Pleven, although recog-
nized as the strong man Of
France. was ousted from Office
because of this factional fight.
French internal affairs are
Frances own business. But at
this time, when a strenuous ef-
fort is being made to build a
strong Western European wall
against Soviet aggression, the
antics of the French politicians
become everybody's concern.

eign Relations Committees was

Labor Pushes Sterilization FiQht
Battle Against Wilson Will Be on Brood Charge
Thot StobIizers Have FoiIed to Stabilize

out what labor wants as the
price Of its cooperation. They
were discouraged by their ini-
tial findings about the deep
distrust the labor leaders feel
toward Mr.. Wilson and one of
his chief aides, Gen. Clay. Mr..
Wilson appointed Arthur Flem-
ming as boss Of manpower in
place Of labor's choice, Secre-
tary Tobin. but labor thinks
of Gen. Clay as the real policy
maker.
1t is suggested in some quar-
ters that what is needed is one
big austerity program for all
on prices, wages. profits, budget.
taxes, agriculture. etc. This
falls within Mr.. wilson's prov
ince If he chooses to do it;
he could not put 1t over without
the sternest backing from the
White House. He has already
done some rather tentative talk
ing about 1t but he has not
spelled out the specific items.
Even then, the aggravation
which has put such an edge into
labor's voice-Mr. Wilson's re-
fusal to give them the CO.
equal status with business and
industry to which they feel en-
titled-would remain. That they
should be so treated in a Demo-
cratic administration they find
it hard to forgive.
