Southern Conference.
Gray's confession" concerning
post-season games came as a sur

into the conference constitution
Now, he said, he feels that the
choice should be left to "the die
tates of conscience" of the individ-
ual schools.
Gray said it is still his personal
conviction that the university
should not participate in post-sea-
son games. but added that the de-
cision should not be governed by
conference regulations.
"This is the easiest provision o1
the conference to enforce" Gray
said. "A team can't play in

CIV Revamps Defense
With Backfie|d Shifts
For Game With VPI
By George Huber

Coach Bo Sherman of George
Washington University is Juggling
his defensive backf1eld in prepara-
ton for Saturdays football game
with Virginia Tech at Blacksburg
Va.
Movies of last Saturdays los
ing game at Virginia have shown
Sherman there's room for i'm
provement in that department and
he is experimenting this week with
new combinations.
One youngster who may be given
a more important role in the Sec
ondary is Lou Donofrio, a 6-foot,
180-pound freshman from West
Orange, N. j. He hasn't played
much this year, but his showing in
workouts at the Colonials' Frog
Island practice field might earn
him even a starting role. Dono-
frio Originally was tabled as end
on offense, but the CIV coaches
seem to think they can make bet
ter use of his talents in the de-
fensive backf1eld.
Korcheck Shift Likely.
Another move may shift Steve
Korcheck, a 200-pound veteran of
three years with the Colonials,
from linebacker to defensive half
back. Steve has been doing okay
at linebacker. but his experience
and steadying influence may be
needed a bit farther back where
the Colonials have had freshmen
operating.
Coach Sherman is sticking with
the same defensive line he's had
all season. In fact, he wasn't
disappointed at all with it's show
ing against Virginia. The Cava-
liers gained 1853 yards rushing,
which Sherman figures is a right
low figure for a team that won,
500.
The CIV coach also is willing
to point out that his teams own
running game wasn't as bad as
the minus IL yards rushing sta
tistics seem to indicate. At least
five or six times his passers were
trapped and tossed for long losses,
which may have taken as much
as 100 yards off what the Co.
lonials really gained.
Top Backs to Be Ready.
Coach Sherman thinks he'll
have his No. l backf1eld intact
this week. Halfback Len Ciem-
niecki and Fullback Norb Danz
were ailing last week, but seem
ready to go at full speed Saturday.
One change in the offensive set

cost several 5-yard penalties late

Which is the more convincing esti-
mate of our prospects?
Gen. Spaatz belongs to the stra-
tegic school of thought which be-
lieves that the third world war
will be strategically decided by air
power. According to this view, land
and sea forces will play only an
auxiliary and subordinate role.
World War III will not be patterned,
it is said, on the European part of
the. World War lin which, in spite
of the important contribution of air
power, the decisive events were great
land battles, leading ultimately to
the military conquest of Italy and
Germany. Instead, it will be pat
termed on the Asiatic part of World
War lin which japanese war
making power was gradually para
Iyzed at the source by destruction
from the air.
To this school of thought, the
decisive deterrent to Russian ag-
gression from 1945 to 1850 was the
American monopoly of the atomic
bomb. coupled with American air
superiority. Now that the atomic
monopoly has been broken and the
air superiority is challenged, we have
according to this view-passed into
q time of danger. The supreme
crisis" will come If Russia reaches
atomic equality.
It seems, however, even at first
glance, inconclusive that mere atomic
equality-and no more than this is
thinkable - should be sufficient to
encourage Russia to aggressive war
on a global scale. Such equality
would hold out to the aggressor a
prospect, not Of victory, but only
of stalemate accompanied by Grip
pling mutual destruction. Aggressors
never have staked their all on such
a prospect. They have always ex-
pected, If not total victory, at least
a stalemate accompanied by tangi-
bic territorial and other gains for
themselves.
Whot Is Russio's View?
Be that as it may. Gen. Spaatz'
assumption would Pc convincing If

ades suggest that he believes, not in
air power as such or land power as
such, but in industrial power in the
widest sense. He thinks that in any

seeable future Stain could have so
million tons of steel annually at his
disposal only if he could add to his
present resources those of Western
Europe.
Indeed, the whole Russian policy
since the war seems to have had this
aim: To gain control of Western
Europe prior to an open showdown
with Britain and America-that is, by
political rather than by military
means.

the side Of Britain and America. a
war between Russia and the West
means war of 30 million tons of
steel against ITO million tons of
steel. This, on rule-of- thumb reck-
oning, is hopeless proposition for
Moscow. But if Russia were to domi-
nate Western Europe, war of Russia
plus Europe against America - in
which Britain might be virtually
neutralized through her exposed geo.
graphical position-would be 4 war
Of IS million tons of steel against 100

far more open contest. Everything
turns, therefore, from a Russian point
OF view, on gaining dominance In
Western Europe.

rightly or wrongly, is based on
preponderance of land power to
which air power is a mere adjunct.
The whole balance of the Russian
forces bears this out. It is true that
Russia has now more powerful air
force than in World War II. But
this is no more than the making good
of former excessive neglect of the
air. There is no indication at all that
Stain and his strategic advisers
believe in victory through air power

that shift in air power alone will
decide their major policy about war

yer had three votes in his camp
and Russell had AZ. The remain
ing 141a votes are not pledged.
In Tennessee-Kefauver's home
State-the prediction is for a full
slate of Kefauver delegates. This
would not be surprising but for the
fact that Memphis boss, Ed Crump,
has long been a mortal enemy of
Kefauver. Crump was expected to
withhold Shelby County (Memphis)
support from Kefauver, just out of
orneriness if for no other reason.
Recently, however, he passed the
word that he would not oppose
Shelby County delegates favorable
to the Tennessee Senator.
These developments have made it
plain there is no possibility of a real
"solid South" behind Russell. The
South may look fairly solid when
the Chicago convention opens. But
it will have faults in its foundation.
The chances that Kefauver can
be stopped by activity below the
ason-Dixon Line are remote. Last
weeks activities in Dixie proved it.

To date, Kefauver's record at
the polls has been nothing short
of amazing. In popularity contests
in which he has been involved,
something like 21z million votes
have been cast. He has taken
roughly l.6 million of these, to
about 650,000 for all his opponents

The Tennessean leads the pack,
too, in delegates. Counting Ohio,
he has 1O412 votes, with IA more

CLAIMING victory on the basis Of
Via numerical defeat at the polls
is one of the oldest aid least con-
vincing gambits in preconvention
politics. But If ever a man was jus
titled in making such claim, that
man is Estes Kefauver. Out of his
defeat in last weeks Florida pop
ularity contest, he appears to shape
up clearly as the man to beat when
the Democrats open their conven-
ton at Chicago July 21.
The 48-year-old junior Senator
from Tennessee has been playing
the role of giant-killer since last
March II. At first, he was some
thing for the professionals" to
laugh at. Today, the only politicos
who are laughing are those, like
Senator Douglas of Illinois, who
support Kefauver's candidacy.

the pattern for his campaign when
he beat the bushes and snowy hill

votes. I'm Senator Kefauver," he
would say. I'm running for the
Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent. I'm mighty pleased to meet
you, and I'd be grateful for your
support in the primary"
This folksy approach, plus an at
tractive wife who campaigned as
tirelessly as he, helped Kefauver
overturn the Democratic machine
that was supporting President Tru-
man in the Granite State.
Since that day, an uneasy feeling
has spread wherever politicians
gather-which, in an election year,
means everywhere. The queasiness
is not confined to Democratic circles
alone. Even some Republicans who

countries into functioning auxiliaries
and quasi-allies while carrying on a
major war which began with their
conquest.
From 1945 to 1948 Russian policy
clearly hoped to conquer Western
Europe by political means, without
getting involved in war with Britain
and America. Since 1948 this pros
pect has receded. And now, since
Atlantic rearmament, the Russian
choice has narrowed down to the
dramatic alternative Of seeing West
ern Europe consolidated with Britain
and America in firm political and
military community-which Russia
could not possibly hope to challenge
with any prospects of successor
giving the signal for world war by
opening military aggression against
Western Europe.
Time Limit ON Choice
Moreover, even that choice will be
open to Russia only for limited
time-the time during which Western
rearmament is still incomplete and
Western Europe still insecure. There
after, when Western Europe is phys
ically secure, Russia will find herself
forced to accommodate herself for
long period to a secondary power
position. No atomic bomb stockpile
can make decisive difference to this.
This is the position which makes
the next IL or 18 months, despite
the diplomatic calm of the moment,
a danger period. It seems, historically
speaking, to be the last moment in
which Russia can freely choose be-
tween aggressive war and resignation
TO secondary power status. The more
Western rearmament is speeded up,
the shorter the period will be. If
these IL or 18 months are successfully
and peacefully negotiated. the inter-
national climate thereafter should
change fundamentally. In that case
1854, far from being "the year of
supreme crisis and danger" might
prove the year Of settlement and the
beginning Of a period Of real peace.

leader goes on to say, the Tennes-
seean will not get more than 400 at
any time during the balloting.
No Other Strong Man
This would be understandable if
the Democratic Party had some one
obviously stronger than Kefauver-
some one obviously ready to take
the nomination. The man popularity

beat the Republicans in November
-Adlai Stevenson-has thrice re-
fused the crown.
The rest of the crop have
not given any great evidence of
strength. The runner-up to Kefau-

The new British Defense Minister,
Field Marshal Lord Alexander of
Tunis, made two apparently contra
dictory statements in the speech
with which he introduced himself to
the House Of Lords recently. On the
one hand, he guardedly associated
himself with the now widespread be-
lief that the danger of war has re-
ceded during the last IL months. He
attributed this change to the increase
in Western strength since the begin
ming Of rearmament. On the other
hand, he warned that before we
could reach security through rearma-
ment we must inevitably go through
dangerous and uncomfortable
period of anxiety"
The two statements can be recon-
ciled by assuming that the begin
nings Of Western rearmament have
made Russia pause and take thought,
thus ensuring temporary lessening
of tension, but that before Russia

should be a period of real and in

present easing of tension is more de-
ceptive than real.
Opposite Estimate
Almost simultaneously, a totally
opposite estimate of our prospects was
given by Gen. Carl Spaatz, the for
mer United States Chief of Air Staff.
Testifying before the Senate Pre-
paredness Committee, he said that
Russia would definitely" have the
hydrogen bomb as well as a large
stockpile Of uranium atom bombs by
1854. THAT will be zero year." he
added.s "It will bring the greatest
menace to world peace-the moment
of supreme crisis and danger"

issue between Kefauver and an
other candidate was crystal clear.
Though Senator Russell denies
that his candidacy is a sectional
one, Dixiecracy was still the big
ISSUE. Just before the primary,
Russell found himself boxed into
q position where he said he would
not bolt the party even if a civil
rights plank got into the platform.
But Russell, in net effect, appealed
to the voters to choose between the
tried-and true Old South OF Rus
sell and the damyankeefied New
South Of Kefauver.
The other, more orthodox issues
also were present in the campaign,
conspiring to aid Kefauver. These
included crime, corruption and ma
chine politics, all well and unfavor-
ably known in Florida. In voting
for Kefauver, many people voted
against these things last week, just
as they had in previous primaries.
The Florida campaign was the
first clear symptom of how the
South is feeling. Dixiecracy OBJ
viously is not universally accepted
faith below the Potomac. This was
proved again last week in Alabama,
one of the Dixiecrat States in
November, 1948. Delegates were
chosen in convention there, and
a full Russell slate should have
been easier to obtain than in a
State where the voters name dele
