Eagles Too Interested

By Lewis f. Atchison

With small regard for the SEN

the day, the Philadelphia Eagles
come to grips with the Redskins
today at Grif6th Stadium with
the single purpose Of walloping
the home team.
The game marks Slingin' Sam
my Baugh's final appearance in
a Redskin uniform after a scintil-
lating 16-year career. and some
5000 fans are expected to watch
the 38-year-old star play his last
stand.
1t also is the day of Santa Claus
traditional appearance at the foot
ball game. But the Eagles will be
in no festive mood. They'll have
one eye on the Redskins and one
on the scoreboard, following the
progress of the Cleveland Browns
Giants game at New York, where
their title hopes may be decided.
Philadelphia can tie Cleveland for
the American Conference title if
it downs the Redskins and the
Giants beat the Browns. But a
Cleveland victory will give the
Browns the title, clear and free.
Philadelphia Favored.
Philadelphia's comeback, four
victories in it's last five games,
after an in-and-out beginning, has
put Joe Trimble's men in the title
picture and they don't expect to
be brushed aside by the Redskins.

Whipping the ball around like
a big league baseball team in
fielding practice, Maryland handed
West Virginia a surprising 52-45
defeat last night at College Park,
ending the Mountaineers' VIM
ming streak at three games.
A crowd of $500 saw the meth
odical Terps make virtually every
move count in chalking up their
third victory in four starts. Coach
Bud Millikan's crew got off slowly
but gradually pulled ahead to a
1918 lead at the half and after
a brief third-period slump went on
to win in a decisive fashion.
1t was a battle of zone defenses
and Maryland's was the more eff
fective. West Virginia's woes were
accentuated by its inability to hit
with one-hand shots from the
corner or driving in. Maryland, on
the other hand, made most of its
shots count and had Bob Everett,
6-foot-5 sophomore, and Morris
Levin, 6-foot-4 senior. doing yeo-
man work on rebounds under the
backboards.
Dog Interrupts Game.
Playing almost too slowly for
the fans In the first half, the
tempo -speeded up in the second
when West Virginia put on an
all-court press in a futile attempt
to catch its host. The game was
interrupted at one stage while a
stray dog was put off the court,
and was almost stopped again
when an irate West Virginia fan
charged on the floor to point out
an alleged foul to the officials.
West Virginia had three scalps

Just one year ago. on April
II, 1851, President Truman
stripped Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur of all his responsibilities
in the Far East and ordered him
home. Many reasons were Of
fered by the administration as
to why the Commander in Chief
had decided on the unprece--
dented step. The real reason was
that Gen. Macarthur, after the
brilliant strategic coup at In
chon in the summer of 1850
which destroyed the North
Korean armies and after the set
back our forces suffered by the
entry of the Chinese Commu-
nists in the war. had urged an
all-out offensive against the
enemy. We still had complete
supremacy in the air and vastly
superior air power.
Gen. MacArthur'S strictly
military approach to the Korean
problem was strongly frowned
on by American and Allied dip

Under Pressure Of Many Friends
Borey May 60 to Convention as Unonnounced Candidate;
Truman Responsible for Prudence in Veep's Attitude

Vice President Barkley still
wants to be President but he
may go to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention an available
but unannounced candidate.
President Truman is respon-
sible for the new prudence in
the Barkley attitude, informed
sources report.
The President is said to have
indicated to the Vice President
that in his opinion Mr.. Barkley
should not attempt to head the
ticket in 1852. The two men
talked at the White House for
an hour shortly after the Jeffer-
son-Jackson Day dinner at
which Mr.. Truman revealed his
own decision.
Mr.. Truman'S reported stand
fits with history.
In 1948 he preferred young
liberal in the vice presidential
spot and offered it to Supreme
Court Justice Douglas. While
Justice Douglas dallied and fl

didn't have to report to Mr..
Wilson.
The pay-off for that proce-
dure came in the steel dis
pute. Mr.. Wilson found himself
powerless to intervene, so he
resigned. He was innocent
enough to rely on President Tru-
mans assurance that his powers
would not be clipped. He should
have resigned months ago when
the labor leaders walked out
on him and when Mr.. Truman
reshuff1ed the procedures.
When Congress enacted the
Taft-Hartley law to govern
labor-management relations, it
stressed and required collective
bargaining. 1t provided an
orderly procedure and method
of dealing with disputes when
they go to extremes. But Mr..
Truman disregarded that law
the moment Congress gave him
power to set up wage and price
boards in the emergency"
Congress is as much at fault
for the present situation as is
the President. For Congress gave
a blanket delegation of authority
to set up a Wage Sterilization
Board out of which came the
usurped power to settle disputes.
If Congress hasn't learned it's
lesson by now and if, in extend
ing the present law, amendments
are not inserted to keep the
Wage Sterilization Board out of
the labor dispute machinery, the
members of both parties in the
House and Senate who acquiesce
will become responbile for the
further confusion that inevitably
will result.
The late President Roosevelt
muffed the ball when, after ap-
pointing a presidential board in
a railroad-labor dispute, he de-
waited from it's recommendations
and settled the controversy.
