"It is, however, absolutely alb
surd for the Bishop to state that
Congressional investigators are

feel that his lack of. ability to

through his testimony he gave

Bishop Oman would be much
more effective in his fight
against communism had he
spoken out more frankly against
Communist causes at an early
date and had been quick to
assist rather than to denounce
and abuse such Congressional

Methodist Church. said he be-

he had been asked to comment
on a remark by Representative

II must admit frankly" Mr..
Velde stated, that I am not as
articulate as my colleague or as

However. I must state, after a
thorough review OF the incidents

which was granted Bishop OK

can never be an effective fighter
against communism and the

MANILA, Nov. 9.-President
Elpidio Quirino and Ramon
Magsaysay ended their free

left it to the voters to decide
tomorrow who will be the new

Despite military precautions,

Mr.. Quirino returned from the

broadcast and a rally.
Mr.. MagsaySay flew back from
the south for rallies.
Mr.. Quirino, heartened by a
good reception during his final
tour through the pro-adminis-
tration areas of Northern Luzon,
climaxed his campaign with a
huge rally in downtown Manila
with his running mate, Jose Yulo.
Less than a half mile away at
Plaza Miranda, Mr.. Magsaysay
spoke to an overflow crowd. Only
a row of tall buildings divided
the supporters of the coalition
and the administration.
A Gordon of police surrounded
the two plazas. Special motorcy-

speakers at each rally to prevent
them crossing each others paths.
TOrchlight Parades.
From throughout Manila torch
lights flickered in the humid

Brass bands marched and rode
through the streets with huge

and cities and towns in the
provinces.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. %.
The Irish Army, picked in pre-
show calculations as the entry
most likely to give the English
competition, today is the only
team outside the British to own
an international jumping victory
at the 1853 Pennsylvania Ma
tional Horse Show.
Guiding a pair of chestnut
mounts to an almost perfect per-
formance. Capts. Colin O'Shea
and Michael Tubridy last night
won the fourth international
event at the Week-long show.
The English, with two riders and
several horses from the 1852
Olympic championship squad,
had galloped off to victories in
the first three.
O'Shea on Kilcarne and his
teammate on Ballynonty, riding
next to each other at distance
of less than two feet, completed
nine difficult jumps without a
knockdoWn. They were charged
with two pair faults for not
staying in perfect unison while
going over two barriers.
The United States, with Mrs.
Carol Durand, Kansas City, on
Reno Kirk, and Arthur McCaSh-
in, Pluckemin, N. j., on Paleface,
were second with four faults, all
charged on the knockdown of
the final obstacle.
1t. Col. Charles Baker and w.
r. Ballard on Starclift and An
chors Aweigh took third for
Canada with six faults.
Not only did the win. halt the
English temporarily, but it sent
the Durand McCashin team
down to defeat in the pair event
for the first time in three years.
The English placed fourth and
last, with seven faults, when 1t.
Col. Harry Llewellyn on Lady
Jane and William Hanson on
Talisman, knocked over one
fence and was penalized three
pair faults for a total of seven.
The victory vaulted Ireland to
a one fault lead over England,
6 to 7, at the two-thirds mark
of the three-day low score COM

at the show. The United States

coaches guessed hopefully today
that George Mikan's advancing
age would make ordinary NOR
tails of the Minneapolis Lakers.
The pro coaches said as much
in the annual preseason poll
conducted by the Minneapolis
Star. They figured that Mikan,
now 90, will fade just enough to
loosen the iron fist which the
Lakers have clamped on the
NBA title.
The LakerS and Boston were
picked to win Western and East
ern Division titles, but the
coaches split evenly between
Minneapolis and Fort Wayne for
the Western playof title.
None of the coaches, remem-
bering Mikan-engineered titles
in five out of six years, were
ready to push the 6-foot-10 CEN
ter into discard. But Fuzzy
Levane of Milwaukee had a
typical comment:
"Mikan is being replaced as
Mr.. Basketball by Bob Cousy of
Boston. But Minneapolis is still
the best club in basketball"
Most of the coaches felt Mikan
will slip off to about 80 per cent
of his scoring output last year.
