ST. ANTON. Austria, Jan. a.
Jack Reddish has q new pair of
boots and thereby becomes once
more the main Olympic hope Of
the American ski team.
Reddish. team captain and once
regarded as the United States
best bet In the Oslo games, has
been having a dismal time during
the Olympic squads pre- Olympic
racing tour Of Europe.
Jack could not win in Switzer-
land or in Austria. He could not
come even close. And no one
could figure out why.
The Salt Lake City pride was
fourth in the slalom in the world
championship at Aspen, Colo. in
1850, and had made a highly re-
spectacle showing in the 1913
Olympic Games.
Second Toe Is Longest.
So his recent performances
were. naturally, big disappoint-
lment.
But here. in st. Anton, where
the United States ski team has
settled for the final two weeks of
lpre-O Olympic training, the truth
came out.
Jack was having foot trouble.
Simple as that.
He has peculiar feet. They're
long and narrow-"just skin and
bones" he describes them. And his
second toe is, oddly, bigger than
his big toe.
Normal ski boots just don't fit.
His toes were black and swollen
before anybody discovered his
trouble.
A doctor had to cut away half
a toe nail and q bootmaker was
hired to make him a special pair
of ski boots carefully fitted to his
d-shaped feet.
Reddish tried the boots for the
first time yesterday in a friendly
team race over a slalom course,
and won by a wide margin.
Man, these new boots are won-
derful, )" Jack exulted. This is the
first time In weeks I've been able
to ski without my feet hurting"
Good News for U. S. Team.
This was the best news the
American Olympic ski team had
since it hit Europe on January 8.
Jack gets another chance soon
to test his new boots in interna-
tional competition. He is one of
four American men entered in the
international races at Gstaad,
Switzerland, next week end.
United States skiers prepping
for the Olympics staged a meet
among themselves yesterday and
David and Andrea Mead Law
renee made it a family affair.
Mrs. Lawrence. probably the
United States best bet for a ski
ling gold medal, again bested the
other women skiers. and her hus-
band finished third among the
men to give the Rutland, VT,
couple the lowest combined time
lin the team slalom race.

consecutive wins In sweeping
Saturdays events.
Sundays initial victory set him
up to score q possible clean sweep
in the meet. The sleepy eyed
Speedster's corridor pacing OF the
previous night began to tell.
Bartholomew faltered in the
$50 and lost to Art Longsjo Of
Pittsfield. Mass, by whisker. He
cracked again in the mile after
leading nearly all the way and
Longsjo passed him q few feet
from the finish to win again.
That apparently was enough for
Bartholomew. He Withdrew from
the 5-mile event-the first time
he had skipped q race in his
skating career. He blamed it en-
#tirely on the slow stork that cost
him his shut-eye. It delivered
6h-pound Beverly Jean after he
had left the hospital.
Despite his two losses and with
drawal from the third event, Ken
won the national speed crown for
the seventh time since 1899. He
totaled 16O points to Longsjo'S 80
for second place.
Barbara Marchetti Of Detroit
won the senior Women'S title.

Furman Is Surprise.
Furman Is the surprise team Of
the conference, although the

Furman could just about wrap up
a place in games against VMI

North Carolina State again was
taken into overtime by q confer

Wolfpack does not play in the
Conference this week, while West
Virginia plays only weak VMI.
Maryland, in fourth place in
the standings. won't play again
until February 9.

It appears that South Carolina,

Rush to Get Campaign Money
Congress Could Best Honor Lincoln Jefferson and Jackson
By Stoyine on Job and Getting Needed Measures Passed

the House Ways and Means
Committee could have been
working on that already, with
a very obvious task cut out for
it, which is to close up existing
loopholes by which certain
privileged individuals and cor
porations now escape their just
share of the burden. In that
way, alone, some five billion
dollars could be made up in the
deficit which, if Congress ap-
propriates the full 85.4 billions
asked by the President, will run
to some IA billions, according
to estimates.
Nothing has been done about
that. Why?
You can get a clue by taking
a peek at some of the more
magnificent of the repasts laid
out for Abe Lincoln andfor Tom
Jefferson and Andy Jackson
which, as you know, are staged
at from $40 to 500 a plate to
raise campaign funds for the
two major parties.
About the resplendent board,
whether Democratic or Republi-
can, you will spot the repre-
sentatives of various tax-priv-
ileged interests who not only
are willing and eager to buy
a seat so they can hobnob
with the politicians who are In
a position to protect their in
terests, but are ready to write
much more handsome checks
later, come campaign time.
You can understand, then,
why members of Congress are
rushing of to these affairs in
honor of Abe Lincoln and Andy
jackson and Tom jefferson.
Campaigns cost money.
You can understand, too, why
Congress doesn't bother too
much about such measures as
health legislation, condemned
now as ''socialized medicine" or
Federal aid to education, or
decent and adequate housing,
or effective controls to keep
rents and the cost of living
within reason, or even such mat
tiers as statehood for Alaska
and Hawaii, long deserved. or
even democracy and home rule
for the American citizens who
live In its own Capital city,
Those are for the common
people, OF whom Lincoln once
said God made so many be-
cause he loved them 20 much.

Top military men, diplomats
and economic experts repre-
senting the North Atlantic Al
lance are meeting next week
in Lisbon, Portugal, in an eff
fort to put some new life into
the slow-moving defense coali-
tion.
The atmosphere will be out
wardly cordial. But there is
little hope that anything ef-
fective viii result from this
gathering Of the policy makers.
France and Germany are once
more at loggerheads. The Ger
mans suspect the French Of
wanting to annex the Saar. a
portion of Germany rich in coal.
The French suspect the Ger
mans Of future aggressive in
tentions. Neither suspicion is
likely to help the solution Of
the main problem -active prep
arations against a possible Red
aggression. The row between
Bonn and Paris is out in the
open and is forcing men of
goodwill such as .Germany's
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
and Frances Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman to scowl at
each other in spite of their per-
sonal friendship.
The plan for a European
army offered last summer by
former French Premier Rene
Pleven seems to have hit the
rocks. Two powerful French
parliamentarians with an i'm
portant group of members of
the National Assembly behind
them are now opposing it.
Messrs. Edouard Daladier and
Jules Moch, who belonged to
the French government which
saw disaster befan France dur
ing the last war, have come out
rroy,Iy onoincf II
M. Moch believes that the
whole plan should be postponed
until June and in the mean
while the Allies should make
another appeal to Stain for a
settlement of all world prob
lens. Former Premier Daladier
shares Moch's views and adds
that the project will accomplish
nothing since a European
army could not stop a Soviet
attack. The fact that behind
that planned European army Is
the whole power of the United
States and Great Britain seems
to affect little the thinking of
the defeatist French leaders. M.
Daladier represented France at
Munich In 1888, yet he has not
learned that in dealing with
dictators one must eigther fight
or surrender.
Our military men were never

ments of six nationalities were

prove much to those who will
read it to find out whether Mr..
Truman is going to run again.
Among the few people who have
had a chance to read it there is
already a sharp division. One
group reasons that 1t must be
the Truman swan song. The
other group is convinced that it
was written as a clever CAM
paign document. Which leaves
us precisely where we came in.
Mr.. Truman keeps a wary eye
on history books. He has an
abiding interest in what histo-
rians of the future may write
about his own performance on
the world stage. He is mindful
of the fact that President
Roosevelt died before he could
write the books he planned to
write on leaving Office, and the
resulting partial interpretations
In innumerable books by others.
Perhaps Mr.. Truman decided to
get his own licks In first. In any
event, from the Presidents

casts and his relationship to
them, his subsequent career, to
his thoughts about the presi-
dency as an institution, this
book is an astonishing perform
ance. It's publication is being

Choicest LiteroryPIunn Of Year
Truman 0Wes inon Material for Book Called Mr. Presdent
Publication Is Bound to Sto Old Wounds Bleeding Again

President Truman has handed
to William Hillman, an old
friend and a commentator for
the Mutual Broadcasting Sys-
tenn, the choicest literary plum
of the year in the way of a book
called "Mr. President" which
will be appearing in March.
The book will promptly take all
prizes for frankness on the part
of a President in Office and will
result in red faces up and down
the land.
While authorship of "Mr.
President" is ostensibly that of
Mr.. Hillman, in actuality the
book is the Presidents own. He
has made available to the edi-,
tor vast quantity of presi-
J. dental letters, memoranda, and
diary entries. These constitute
some $4,000 words of the vol
ume. There are 10000 addi-
tional words based on conversa-
tions with the President which
. appear in direct quotation. Mr..
Hillman gets into the act with
; about $4,000 words of his own,
but this is mere bridgework to
/: help the reader identify and
place the documents and re-
: marks.
Its publication is bound to
/: start old wounds bleeding again.
Included, for instance, is Mr..
, Truman's long letter to Ber-
nard Baruch, reproaching him
: for turning down the request
