Tatum Again Blasts
Conferences Rule
Limiting Squad 10 40

Maryland will be faced with
complying with the Southern Con-
ference maximum player limit of
10 for the first and only time
this season in Saturdays game
with Clemson at College Park, and
Coach Jim Tatum says he doesn't
like the idea any more than when
it was adopted.
Although the Terps used only 81
men in defeating Missouri and IS
in running their winning streak
to IA in row against Auburn,
Tatum still believes the 1852 con-
ference rule of dressing 40 players
is a joke.
His principal point is that it
affects practice. In this day of
the two-platoon system. two COM
plete offensive and defensive
teams would be a players, and
allowing sub or two each way,
the player maximum should be
Is to 4S. the Terp coach added.
Practical Time Could Be Cut.
In that way the daily practice
sessions could be reduced by from
80 to IS minutes because each
man would know his assignment.
But with squads restricted to 40
players. some players have to
double up on offenSe and defense,
and that extends the drills.
Tatum'S favorite story of what
limited squads does to football
concerns his coaching days at
Oklahoma. The Big Six (now it's
Big SevenD maximum was So
players and he took his Oklahoma
team to Des MoineS to play a
weak Iowa State team.
The return plane had to leave
before dark. and the dressing
room was big enough for only
about dozen players to dress at
a time. Oklahoma ran up a $50
halftime lead. so at the end Of
the half Tatum told his first two
teams to dress in order to save
time. and he flelded only IA men
in the second half.
Humiliation CHARGED.
The IA third and fourth string
ers scored 80 more points for a
$50 triumph. and Tatum thought
he was being magnanimous. But
the next day in the papers he was
roasted for humiliating Iowa
State by putting only IA players
on the field in the second half.
His point is that If Oklahoma
had been permitted to take As or
SO players on the trip, more boys
would have had varsity COMPETE
ton and an unpleasant situation
would have been avoided.
Those last six or seven men
never beat you" he said. "It Just
means more boys get to play var
sity football"
He wasn't intimating that Glenn
son would provide Maryland with
an opportunity to use the rinkey-
drinks. but both he and Coach
Frank Howard would like to see
the 40-player limit lifted. They
both are confident it will be as
soon as football coaches, instead
OF professors, make the rules.
Baierl Reinjures Knee.
Meanwhile "B" was the ink let
ter with the Terps.
With John Bowersox out for
several weeks with yellow jaun-
dice: Charlie Boxold out for the
year with a broken leg. and Ed
Barritt probably on the injured
list for the Clemson game with an
injured leg. Ralph Baierl reinjured
a knee in practice yesterday and
may miss another game.
In addition. one-third of the
defensive IN" combination, Bill
Maletzsky at defensive left guard,
still is not f1t for rough work and
Tatum may not use him against
the single wing because of no op-
portunity to practice.

Both Senator Bridges and Sem

Liquor Stores
aginApp|ying
For Licenses
ABC Warns Dealers
They Must Get Permit
Before February ]

The men who sell the stuff that
adds holiday glow to the holi-
day cheer may find themselves
with a rousing headache brought
on only indirectly by liquor. the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
warned today.
Those who hold liquor licenses
are tardy with their applications.
the ABC said. The number on
file is far behind previous years.
New licenses must be displayed
by February /. But it takes time
to process the applications. and
those who don't apply by Wednes-
day may find themselves unable
to open for business on February !.
Liquor Stores Slow.
The most serious situation faces
those who sell by the bottle and
case-the package liquor stores.
Only 267 of the present 387 liz
censees have filed for renewal.
The Commissioners have frozen
the number of licenses for package
stores at 800, but will allow all
387 now in business to continue
operating-if they apply. No new
licenses will be issued until the
number gets below 800.
One package store-operated by
Lyman Minkoff at 1400 North
Capitol street-has been doing
business for several years without
a license. An order revoking his
license is being tested in the
courts.
Bars Also Lag.
OF the 1891 places which dis
pense drinks over the bar, only
800 have filed for license renewal.
The board noted that many hotels
including the Raleigh. the Roger
Smith and the Lafayette-have
not yet applied.
Only a third of the city's private
clubs have asked for renewal Of
their licenses-including the Ma
tional Press Club, which has held
license No. l since repeal of pro-
hibition.

Representative Reed, Repub-

House Ways and Means Commit

by cutting out non-essential Gov
ernment expenditures, the budget
can be brought into balance and
the savings passed along to the
people in the form of tax relief
Representative Reed said that
when the new Republican Con-
gress meets on January 8. he will
introduce a bill to reduce indi-
vidual income taxes a little more
than 5 per cent next year. The
following year, he said. he will
move for another tax cut, bring

out the post-Korea tax increase
which took effect IA months ago
Three Favor Balanced Budget.
Those who said the budget
should be balanced before there

AIexandrians 10 Meet
On Row Threatening
JUS Housing Funds

Alexandria council and houS-
ing authority were to confer today
in an attempt to solve a low-rent
housing wrangle. The controversy
threatens the city with the loss of
Federal funds.
The meeting was scheduled for
I2::30 this afternoon in council
chambers. Councilman Leroy S,
IBendheim requested it. He is
chairman of the council Housing
Committee.
The row began with arguments
between union and non-union
firms.
148-Unit Project Planned.
Bids were received November 6
on a contract for construction of
"a 148-unit low-rent housing prof.
ect to be built directly north Of
the old Parker Gray School.
Victor r. Beauchamp. Inc, of
Washington, a company which
uses only union labor, submitted
the low bid-$1, ,157 ,840-accord-
ling to Glenn U. Richard of the
Alexandria Redevelopment and
Housing Authority.
But non-union firms protested.
They objected that they couldn't
|get subcontracts from the union
firm. The Alexandria authority
recommended that the low bids
+be turned down.
Danger of Delay Cited.
That brought up for consider
alton a bid from Eugene Simp-
son & Bros. of Alexandria, which
has an 'open-shop union agree
ment. The Simpson bid was $62,-
500 higher than the Beauchamp
figure. No contract has been
awarded yet.
The Public Housing Administra-
ton, which opposes the rejection
of the low bid, has warned. that
the delay has jeopardized Gov
eminent financial aid allocated
for the project.
Mr.. Richard said he doesn't
think problem like this has ever
been ruled on and that his group
is still hunting legal advice. He
said the Alexandria authority has
asked the State attorney general
for a decision.

Arlington Board
Moves 10 Bar Arnold
Plan 10 End Tokens

The Arnold buslines, already
beset by labor troubles. has come
under the fire of the Arlington
County Board in double-bar-
relied attack on the company's
proposal to eliminate tokens.
Two motions were filed with
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. protesting token elimina-
ton on the grounds it would be
unjust and unreasonable"
At the same time, the board
charged that the busline. known
as the Washington, Virginia and
Maryland Coach Co., is enjoying
about "a "a per cent" return in
revenues.
Scores Terminal Rent.
It also scored large expendi-
tures"' by the company and speci-
fically pointed out the $4,000
annual rental paid by the line
to Joseph Arnold, one Of the bus
line owners, for the terminal at
TOT North Randolph street, Arling-
ton.
The token-elimination proposal
was filed by Arnold December 3
and unless formal protests are
made or the ICC suspends the
action pending hearings, the rate
change would be effective Janu-
ary S.
The Arlington board. in one
motion, asked the ICC to strike
the entire proposal on the basis
that the commission early this
year held that the elimination Of
tokens would be unjust"
Seeks Suspension.
The second action seeks suspen-
sion of the proposal and asks the
commission to conduct an investi-
cation on the "reasonableness" Of
the rate change.
Arnold tokens now sell at six for
81. The proposal would establish
a straight 20-cent fare for first
zone passengers.
The Arnold lines, crippled by a
three-week-old strike Of drivers,
mechanics and maintenance men,
is operating on a reduced schedule
with State Highway Commission
drivers at the wheel. The State
seized the line a few hours after
the strike started.

District Moves
Toward Normal
After Holiday
But Alarm Clocks
Won't Ring for U. S.
Workers Till Monday

Washington was moving back
toward normal today, but for
many it would be another two
days before the alarm clock
brought them away from Christi
mas merriment to their desks.
For District employees and most
persons in private jobs it was
business as usual. Federal workers
have until Monday to enjoy their
extended holiday.
Retail stores were girding for
the deluge of Christmas exchanges
the gown that didn't quite At
and the glovese which should have
been cuff links, and for their an
nual Christmas sales.
Travel officials were getting
ready for another rush on Sum-
day when the thousands who left
Washington for the holiday come
back to town.
The biggest problem at home
was whether the dinner menu was
to be turkey soup or turkey hash.
Day Observed Quietly.
Christmas was mostly a quiet
family affair in Washington.
President Truman and his fam
lily spent the day in the White
House for the first time since
1o47.
The good weather brought
thousands out during the after
noon. Many passed by the White
House and took pictures of the
National Community Christmas
tree on the south lawn.
Those who stayed at home for
Christmas set what is believed to
be a record in outgoing long
distance telephone calls.
The Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. said 86,275 calls
went out from the Washington
area yesterday, compared with
81,157 calls placed last year on
Christmas.
Groups Add to Cheer.
Various organizations made
Christmas more merry for those
confined to hospitals or institu-
tions here.
The Metropolitan Police Boys
Club Band played Christmas
music on a tour of Mount Alto
Hospital, the Methodist Home,
the Masonic and Eastern Star
Home, st. Joseph's Home and
School, st. Vincent's Home, Chill
dren's Hospital, Providence Hos
pital, Little Sisters of the Poor
and the John Dickson Home.
They also serenaded Clark Grif-
fifth, owner of the Washington
Senators baseball club; former
Police Chief Ernest w. Brown and
Police Chief Robert v. Murray at
their homes.
Dinners Served Homeless.
The Salvation Army and the
Union Mission served hundreds of
dinners to lonely and homeless
men. Various veterans groups
served a late breakfast to patients
at Walter Reed and Forest Glen
Hospitals.
The Junior Red Cross filled 1900
Christmas stockings at st. Eliza
beths Hospital. The District Red
Cross served coffee and doughnuts
and handed out gifts to soldiers
arriving at Andrews Air Force
Base from Korea.

Marshall Heights Gaining Slowly but Painfully
Ia Its Thee-Yeor Fight to Rid Area of SIums

improve his living conditions, !"
states Health Inspector Raymond
Wilson, a familiar visitor to the
area. But they don't have the
money"
The city has fined a few own
ers for failing to connect-seven
in three years. Usually the fine
has been $40 or SIS. A judge
ordered one man to pay 81. He
spent several nights locked up
because he didn't have the money.
A sympathetic assistant corpora
ton counsel finally paid it.
The situation is a little awk-
ward. since it's the city's fault
that 225 homeowners have no
lines they can connect to.
People Are Better Class.
Inspectors do all they can to
encourage optimum sanitation, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wilson. He gives
most Marshall Heights residents
credit for good intentions.
"You find a lot fewer whisky
bottles and beer cans out there
than generally in the slums," he
said. 1.-THE people are a better
class"
Furthermore, because Of the al
most rural conditions. fresh air
and sunshine help to maintain
better health than in mid-city
slums. he pointed out.
But many houses remain unsafe
and insanitary, despite the best
intentions, according to the Of
f1cials.
Thirty cases currently are pend
ing. Nearly 200 have been before
the Board for Condemnation OF
Insanitary Buildings in the last
three years.
Mr. Cary calls the house in
volved in this case "the worst in
the District" Commissioner F.
Joseph Donohue recently loosed
a public blast against the Con-
gressional Intervention, although
without naming names.
The owner of the house says
he wants to build two new houses
on his property and stay in the
condemned one in the meantime,
The, District isn't satisfied he is
actually going to build, or If so,
when.
In another case. the board hasn't
put up a condemned notice
because officials expect the house
to fall down, doing the job for
them. The owner had a hillside
Iexcavated around it with the in
|tention of building himself a new
house nearby. He's still in the old
one.
Sometimes the only place the
owner of a condemned house can
go is Blue Plains. the city's home
for destitute aged. Some go there.
The board has bent over back
wards to be reasonable, according
to Mr.. Cary.
Loans Are Hard to Get.
Mr.. Edmond, who still heads the
civic association but no longer
lives in the area. admits that
some residents have had trouble
digging up the money to make
Improvements. It's difficult. he
explained. for them to obtain
loans.
He hopes, he added, to work out
some organization to help resi-
dents with their rebuilding, per-
haps next spring.
District officials aren't too op-
timistic about the future pace Of
municipal improvements in the
area. There is q timetable-or-
iginally ending next year-but Mr..
Kemp can't see where he will md
the money to finish sewer install
lations By then.
