.Tatun Aide SAYS
Accused Student
Questioned Him
Youth Wanted to Know
What's Going On?'
Told to Move AIonq
By MerreIl WhittIesey

Jim Tatum was startled to hear
from one of his assistant coaches
last night that Louis L. Click
field. accused of trying to bribe
three University of Maryland foot
ball players, was aware before
last Saturdays game with Louis
lana State that word had been
spread of an attempt to control
the points.
Vernon Seibert, defensive back
field coach, has so many other
duties that he did not attend the
Friday meeting of the other
coaches and the players who were
to dress for the LSU game. Sci
bert also is chief of concessions
and is Tatum's go-betWeen with
the Terrapain Club, Maryland's
football booster organization.
Therefore Seibert had only a
sketchy knowledge of the plan to
trap Glickfield by withholding in
formation on what the players had
revealed until later meeting be-
tween the principals could be ar
ranged.
Seibert told Tatum in a chance
conversation after practice yester-
day that he had been approached
before the game Saturday.
Tells About Conversation.
Seibert was checking on the
concession stands near the press
box shortly after noon that day,
he said, when Glickfield walked up
beside him and said. Whats
Igoing on?" or words to that effect.
Seibert told Glickfield to move
Ion.
The former Maryland backfield
star said Glickfield then caught
him by the elbow, continued to
walk beside him. and said, Il
don't see anything wrong with
dividing little money with the
boys"
Seibert thought Glickfield was
attempting to learn how much was
known of his conversations with
Tom Cosgrove, the only player
named in the warrant. Jack Scar
bath and Frank Navarro.
The backfield coach said he
told Glickfleld to get out of
here"
Seibert is not the talkative type
and he did not discuss the Incl
dent. He was not in on the at
tempt to trap the person who ap-
preached the players and did not
recall the Glickf1eld meeting until
talking to Tatum while they were
dressing after practice.
Seibert said that if he had
known of the plans of the States
attorneys office and of the uni
versity to set trap he, of course.
would have realized the implica-
tions of the conversation.
A call to Tatum at the time
would have meant the story would
break just before the game with
ILSU.
Tatum Weary.
Tatum was weary man last
might after the last of the report
Iers, photographers and producers,
Ietc., had left his Office. He still
had to take dim, jr., and Becky,
his children, to a trick-or- treat
Iparty, attend a Rotary Club
injecting and visit his wife and
four -day-old daughter at the hos
Ipital. After that he returned to
his Office and had another look at
pictures of the Maryland-Bost
University game of 1949.
The Terps meet Boston U. in
FenWay Park Saturday afternoon.
"We haven't lost in 18 games,
are the Sugar Bowl champions,
second ranked in the nation and
have a couple of All-Americans, 3"
Tatum said wearily, land yet I've
never seen so many newspapermen
as have today, all over something
that might hurt football"

Indeed as much was admitted by the office

to the attempts to bribe three of MarylandS
stars on the eve of the Louisiana State
game.

affect teams play as much as the quarter
back, it still was an implausble discrepancy
between the 81 900 which Toni Cosgrove says

Publishers Hear Plea
That Congress Define
Powers OF President
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 23.-A plea
that Congress make plain and
explicit by law the President s
powers toward private property
was voiced today by the head of
the American Newspaper Publish
ers Association.
Charles F. McCahill, ANPA
president and general manager of
the Cleveland News, cited in a
prepared address the recent seiz-
ure of the steel industry and
President Truman's remarks on
the possibility of taking over
news media.
Mr.. McCahill welcomed dele
gates to the Goth annual conven-
tlon of ANPA. which met in it's
first general session today. The
convention, part of newspaper
week, opened yesterday with lin
tied meetings.
Continue Attack on Censorship.
At today'S session the ANPA's
Federal Laws Committee reported
that forces are at work to Whittle
away American freedoms.
The committees report contin-
ued an attack which the pub
fishers leveled yesterday against
bureaucratic censorship of public
affairs from the White House to
the small town city hall.
DR.. Alberto Gainza Paz. editor
of the Argentine daily La Presna
until its seizure by the Peron gov
ernment, today added a stirring
voice of experience to the pub
fishers appeal for freedom of
information.
People all over the world
wanted to know what is going
on" DR.. Gainza Paz said In a pre-
pared address. 1T is the duty of
newspapermen to satisfy it.
If We complacently accept lin
1tations imposed on the peoples
right to know what is going on
then their other rights are con-
demned to disappear too," he
added.
President Quoted.
Mr.. McCahill in his opening
address said the publishers should
"glve every attention" to the
questions in the steel conflict "of
the rights of private owners. the
rights of the public interest. and
the rights claimed by the Fed
eral Government.
In response to a question at
his press conference only last
Thursday" Mr.. McCahill con-
tlnued, the President of the
United States stated that depend
ing upon circumstances at the
time the President would deter
mine whether or not it was nee
essary to take over the newspapers
and the radio stations.
This incident does make plain
that 1t is the responsibility of
every American citizen to make
sure that the powers of the Presi-
dent with respect to seizure are
made plain and explicit by law.
This Is a responsibility of the
Congress and we would be un-
faithful as American citizens if
We did not make certain that we
have in this country a government
by law and not by personal wishes
or WhimS."

Portsmouth is a story in itself.
A great castle-like pile on the bor-
der between Portsmouth and Kit
terry, Me, it is now probably as ad-
vanced a prison as any in this Ma

his apprenticeship in mass-han-

He retired in October, 1948, and
then became the warden at the

a mail clerk who had been caught
red-handed in Australia stealing
from other mems packages from

The accused man was awarded
a general court-martial but

days it took a number of. high
ranking officers to constitute such
a trial. The division was widely
scattered in three places-Cape
Sudest, Milne Bay and Good

not enough officers for the court.

The 7th Marines landed in as

forward company. When that
company was relieved after bloody
fighting. he was assigned to the
company that relieved it. Scores
of men died and many others were
wounded. No bullet or shard of
mortar shell ever scratched the
thieving mail clerk. He survived
countless days on the front line.
In fact, they say he fought as
bravely as any. What did he have
to lose?
Eventually, he left New Britain.

Deeds Become Legends.
Around the stoves in the frigid
Australian summer and in the
bars on Collins street in Mel
bourne the Marines told stories of
Bull" Frisbie's discipline. Apoc-
ryphal stories, possibly, but ac-
cepted as gospel in the manner of
very young men.
They said "the Bull" had one
choice to offer a Marine brought
before him for serious violation
of Rocks and Shoals-the articles
of the government of the United
States Navy. They said it was
this way:
What do you want? A court

One look at Col. Frisbie's stern
visage and broad shoulders-aside
from the eagles on them-gen-

of the court martial. Or so the
story went.
Then the division sailed north
to New Guinea and Col. Frisbie' s
regiment went into training biv-

the 'Sub-continent called Cape

1943, and Cape Sudest was near
