Thomson, 2 O'Clock Player,
Paying off Gamble by Eagles

Trimble figured he wouldn't get
better one out of the draft,
so he persuaded the club to
make a deal for Bobby. The
Rams used the Eagles first pick
to get Dom Moomaw, so, with
the latter first going to Canada
and then giving up football en-
tirely. and Thomason clicking
like hot dice, the Eagles are
way ahead on the DEAL.
Thomason's record speaks for
itself. He ranks second to Otto
Graham on the National Foot
ball Leagues list of leading
passers with 1876 competitions in
254 tries. His passes have gained
2,078 yards and have scored IS
uchdowns-twice as many as
Otto.
Does Best Under Fire. =.
Ed Hogan, Eagles publicity
man, calls Thomson "2 o'clock
quarterback" Unlike the base
ball players who knock the ball
over the fence in pre-game prac-
tice, Thomason doesn't show
anything until under fire. Hogan
says you wouldn't have given q
nickel for his chances in train
ing camp this season.
That's one reason Trimble
started Adrian Burk at quarter
back in the opening game. But
losses to San Francisco and
Cleveland and 21-21 tie with
the underdog Redskins forced
Trimble to give the deck quick
rifle. AS it turned out, he drew
an ace in Thomason, who took
the Eagles to six. straight VIC
tories.
Bobby actually is the teams
best pass receiver as well as
passer, Hogan says. But they
haven't yet found a way for
him to catch his own passes, so
Pete Pihos does most of the re-
ceiving. In pre-game work for
the Redskins Thomason plays
Bones Taylor's role at end and
he can go and get them like
long-legged Bones. 'st
Calls His Own Plays.
Thomason has Cobb-like
temperament in that he brooks
no interference from teammates
in play-calling. If he's in there
to run the team, he'll run it
without advice such as most
quarterbacks get and accept.
Nor does Thomason have any
patience with incompetent men.
He once told Trimble he
wouldn't try to be a coach be-
cause he can't bear to see o
player do something wrong.
Bobby is polished speaker,
and although a graduate engi-
neer he prefers salesmanship to
the drafting board because he
likes to meet people. He's mar
ried, has a 21a-year-old daugh-
ter and plans to make Phila-
delphia his permanent home.
That's okay with Trimble and
the Eagles. He's a No. guy in
their estimation.
They proved it in the Rams
deal.

his invitation to Reynolds to at
tend the session has been with
drawn.
If the owners approve the
resolution of their Executive
Council next week it will termi-
nate one Of the most elaborate
pension funds ever set up in
sports. Conceived in 1916 and
expanded in 1852 with an annual
million-dollar fee from World
Series and All-Star game re-
ceipts, it now provides a fund
that assures an income Of $1OO
a month to 10-year players on
retiring at age of so down to $50
a month for five-year men.
Wanted Payments Increased.
Frick explained that the play
ers demanded their pension pay
mentS be increased from $50 to
$50 for f1ve-year men and from
500 to $3.50 for 10-year men.
At the same time, the players
wanted to reduce the 50-year age
eligibility to As while paying
smaller premiums. Prick said
that would boost the cost to an
additional $7.5 million, or SIS
million for the next five-year
period.
Currently the players pay
around 100000 a year to the
pension fund, while each club
pays about $125,OoO a year plus
the difference needed to pay off
back service of players who had
major league service prior to in
auguration Of the pension fund.
Personally, I am opposed to
the abandonment of the pension
fund.-" Frick said. "I think it is
a wonderful thing. Because
felt the players didn't appreciate
the full import of what adop-
ton Of the resolution next week
meant to them, invited them
at baseball's expense to attend
this meeting"
Explains Stand.
The. commissioner added: "I
never have refused the players
the right to be represented by
a lawyer when legal matters
were to be discussed. But In
this instance I pointed out that
no other lawyer would be pres
ent since it was strictly an in
formal meeting between player
representatives, myself and the
two league presidents"
Frick said the Executive Coun-
Gil resolution had been conf
Dental, but he revealed its ex-
istence because he wanted the
players to know it was not
adopted in q moment of pique
by the owners because the play
ers refused to see him.
Frick explained the councils
reason for adopting the resolu-
tion was that club owners were
"fed up with the constant bick-
ering over the pension fund de-
spite the fact the owners still
bear 20 per cent Of the upkeep."

Taft went on to suggest that
in the event of a failure to
negotiate decent truce we let
England and the other allies
know that we are withdrawing
from further peace negotia-
tions in Korea.
He solemnly warned the
American people what most of
our political and military men
fear now, after the truce has
been signed: Even the best
truce under the present con-
'ditions will be extremely un-
satisfactory. 1t will divide
Korea along an unnatural line

"atrocity stories calculated to

tions.
But figures don't lie. What
did become of the 1902 Ameri-
cans? These we're the boys

In a letter dated July 16 and
previously released to the press,

Dulles to confirm whether Mr..
Bundy had actually made the
Hiss contribution and had actu-
ALLY belonged to a Communist
front organization. He also de-
manded to know whether Mr..
Bundy said he made the Hiss
contribution because he felt
that it was imperative that Hiss
be freed of any charge having to
do with Communism or espion-
age; that for the sake of the
Democratic Party he should aid
in clearing Alger Hiss: that he
contributed to help his father
in-law, Dean Acheson."
On July %. Mr.. Dulles in
formed the Senator that Mr..
Bundy in a CIA security check
when he first applied for en-

the $400 contribution. He added,

'1f we once make the present
truce, no matter what we put
in the agreement about further
negotiations for a united
Korea, it is no more likely to
occur than a united Germany"
said the late Senator Taft in
attempting to warn the
American people against the
trap Of the Korean armistice.
Senator Taft's words were
included in a speech May rs
before the National Conference
of Christians and Jews in Gin
cinati, read for him by his
son. The Senator was already
ailing in a hospital in that city.
This last major political
speech of the now deeply
mourned Senator was praised
by some and severely criticized
by many because it was inter-
preted to mean advocacy of a
"go-it-alone" policy.
Actually Taft was merely
warning the Nation of the
effects Of an ill-conceived
armistice in Korea and pointed
to the lack of cooperation
from the United Nations in
the words, Il believe we might
as well forget the United Ma
tions as far as the Korean
war is concerned" This
was blasphemy to those who
shut their eyes at the failings
of that organization and con-
tend that all hopes for peace
depend exclusively on its
action.

tence might be misconstrued,
added: mo one should be

about the United Nations in

of William P Bundy. He said he
will submit his view of the mat
ter to the Senate Investiga-

doubtedly to the Senate upon its

The Wisconsin Senator's
smouldering feud with the CIA
director broke into the open
again with Mr.. McCarthy's re-
lease of correspondence between
the two men extending over the
past three weeks. In the letters
Mr.. Dulles refused to tell the
Senator Mr.. Bundy'S explanation
for a contribution of $400 to a
defense fund for Alger Hiss. In
reply Senator Mccarthy wrote
Mr.. Dulles on August 3:
"Your inSistence that the Con-
gresS is not entitled to obtain
information about improper con-
duct on the part of your top
officers is extremely revealing
doubly so in view of the ma
terial which has been coming to
me within the past few weeks.
Unfortunately the Congress is
going out of session tonight so
that no action can be taken in
the case of your protection and
cover-up of Bundy. However.
the full matter will be submitted
to my Committee and undoubt-
edly to the Senate upon its re-
turn.
Matter Cannot Rest"
"I might add that it would
seem that the last man in the
world who would try to protect
and hide the facts about one of
his top officers associations with
and contributions to a convicted
traitor would be the head of the
CIA. I think it is unnecessary
for me to call your attention to
the tremendous damage you
thereby do this organization.

Only 1913 Americans who

In wartime a certain num-
ber of the missing" are never
accounted for, but it is a small
percentage. Thus, in World

about four per cent of the total

But in the Korean war, out
of 33,419 dead about Is per
cent-an unprecedented pro-

This means unquestionably
that many prisoners were shot
with their hands tied behind
their backs and that many
others died of starvation or
