Alexandria Municipal Stadium.
Coach Louis johnson of Parker
Grey said young Roberts sig7

minute before the half ended.
When Louis reached the bench
he told the coach he was tired.
Several minutes later, when the
squad was leaving the field be-
tween halves, Louis collapsed. He
was taken to Alexandria Hospi-
tai where he died a half hour
later.
Coach johnson said the husky
six-foot boy didn't seem to be
hurt during the game. In a

wards.
The dead boys family said he
had no record of serious ill
neSSes.

walker in your family, you should not worry
on this account. Violence committed during
sleepwalking is very rare. But there are a few
such cases on record. A London sleepwalker
murdered his wife and neatly carved her up.
Ayoamg father, who occasionally sleepwalked.
one night flung his infant son against the wall,
killing him.
Q: What causes this strange GiInsent?
n: In his famous study, "Sleepwalling and
Moonwallxing," Dr.. ]. I. Sadger, Of Vienna,
reveals that sleepwalking is a method Of wish
fulfllment which lies close to the dream life,
but is unique IN that the body muscles are
stimulated into action. A desire repessed
during waking hours, DR.. Sadgg says, may
dodge the personality and emerge during
sleep. Dr.. M. N. Pal of the Ne,rosis Centre
in Dartford. England, has discovered that
almost every adult sleepwalker has history
of having walked as child. Of the 1T sleep
walkers Dr.. Pal studied, all had a history Of
childhood walking. Most children who sleep
walk are insecure, Dr.. Pal believes, and they
sleepwaIk to satisfy their desire to climb into
bed with their prime love object, either their
mother or father.
Sleepwalking is most prevalent during ado
lescence when sexual changes taking place IN
the child intensity the dreams that motivate
sleepwall1ing. The child walks because he
cannot overcome his dream as well as an adult
can, due to the fact that he has not yet fully
developed what psychiatrists call his " ability
to repress impulses" For example, college
student ~ at Yale. incidentally = dreaming
that he was stealing piece Of pie from the
pantry and tearing that his mother would
catch him. jumped from his third-story dcrmi-
tory window. Still asleep. he picked himself
up. unframed, and sleepwalked back to bed.

- acts performed by human being. Yet
we all know of cases of it, sometimes even in
our own families.
The idea of person getting out Of bed in
dead sleep. and then walking along precipi-
tous ledge or making his way through dense
traffic is eexie and frightening.
What causes it? Can it suddenly happen to
you? Are sleepwalkers dangerous? Can it be
cured? Here are some of the vital questions
about sleepwalking that science can answer.
Question: Is sJeepsOaIkine common?
Anssver: Although it is known to occur fire.
quently, it is impossible to estimate how
many people actually sleepwalk, primarily
because sleepwalkers rarely 60 to doctors or
psychiatrists for treatment. Authorities think
this is due to the mistaken belief that sleep
walking is always minor and Insignificant.
Sometimes it's serious, and to be ON the safe
side habitual somnambulists should consult q
doctor.
Q: Whst is the physical condition cf q
sIeeps0alter?
A:Scienti6c studies agree on these character
istics:, his eyes may be open or shut but he
cannot see; his sense Of smell may not react
even to such prmgent odors as ammonia; stick
ing pin IN him will usually not affect him; his
hearing may be 50 deadened that pistol shot
will not cause him to start. But his muscular
coordination is usually phenomenal He Is
able to "think" IN the sense that sleepwaIkes
have been known to solve intricate mathe-
.matical problems, write letters, work on
paintings, attempt suicide. A German doctor
has reported the case of Miss Riechel who
used to sleepwalk through the streets OF
Vienna with her eyes shut tight, do all her
shopping. She never had an accident.

Two of the best-liked generals
to have ever walked the Capital
scene stood at attention yester-
day afternoon as United States
Army troops paraded past in
tribute.
Flanked by top Government Of
f1cials, 5-star Gen. Omar Bradley,
retiring chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, and '4-star Gen.
j. Lawton Collins, retiring Chief
of Staff of the Army, watched
with mixed feelings, no doubt,
the climax of their brilliant
careers. Standing beside Secre-
tary of the Army Stevens and
against backdrop of the per-
sonal flags of the three men, they
could have turned their heads to
the right or the left and seen
literally hundreds of friends
some who came from out of town
for the occasion-gathered be-
side them on the parade green
at Fort McNair.
That the weather had also
donned its best face for the event
came as no surprise to Gen.
Collins. During my entire four
years." he said, "I have never
had a bad day for a retirement
parade"
Just about every important
Defense official, with the excep-
ton of Gen. Bradley's successor,
Admiral Arthur Radford, who
was guest of honor at a party
Gen. Bradley gave last week,
appeared to have turned out for
this important joint retirement.
There was Secretary of Defense
Charles E. Wilson, UnderSecre-
tary Roger Kyes, Assistant Sec
retary Frank Nash, Secretary of
the Navy Robert Anderson, Un-
dersecretary of the Army Earl
johnson and even two past Sec
retaries of the Army. Kenneth
Royal and Frank Pace, who are
both working in New York now.

Host Just Beck From Korea
One of the guests who arrived
little after the appointed hour
of $3.50, just as the last cannon
shots of the 17-gun salute
doomed away, said to Col. Charles
Bruce, military assistant to Sec
retary Stevens, "Gosh! I was in
Chevy Chase at Sis" II was in
Alaska this morning." observed
the Colonel without batting an
eye.
Fresh from 10 days in Korea,
where the Secretary paid three
visits to Freedom Village to in
terview released prisoners, he and
Col. Bruce left Korea Tuesday
only it really wasn't Tuesday be-
cause it was Wednesday here
which means they left Korea one
day and got here at half after
noon the next. I wonder what
this modern generation, will think
up next? Of this is confusing,
take it up with Col. Bruce.
Secretary Stevens deserves the
canape award of the year for an
innovation at yesterdays party.
He insisted on an arrangement
that could well be followed at all
Washington receptions. Perhaps
because he has waited tediouSly
for an hour to get from one end
of a guest line to the other,
he decided yesterday there would
be no receiving line.
