Sugar Bowl, Pressed
For Talent, 10 Await
Saturdays Results
BY the Asseciotsd Press

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 23.-
The Sugar Bowl, facing the task
of picking two football teams
from a limited field of not too
impressive Independents and
teams in unattached conferences,
plans to wait until Saturdays
results are in before making its
selections.
President Irwin Poche said
last night he did not believe it
wise to discuss which teams are
under consideration. but un-
ofilcial talk centered more and
more around Texas Tech.
Tech manhandled Houston,
41-21. Saturday, a week after
Houston's 37-7 triumph over
highly regarded Baylor. Texas
Tech, winner Of nine games, lost
only to Texas A. g. NJ, 21-14,
earlier in the season, and will
close its campaign against Har-
din-SimmonS this week.
West Virginia walloped North
Carolina State, 61-0, last week
and remained another favorite.
West Virginia has finished it's
season with eight victories and a
20-14 loss to South Carolina.
Other teams under conSidera-
ton have at least two stains on
their records. Among them are
a group of Southeastern Confer
ence teams, Kentucky, Auburn
and Georgia Tech.
Kentucky has lost to Texas
Ann and Mississippi, but has
beaten such teams as Rice, Mis-
SiSsippi State and Tennessee.
Auburn. loser to Georgia Tech
and winner over Mississippi,
faces Alabama this week. Tech
has lost to Alabama and Notre
Dame, but got back in the run
ming with a 1910 victory over
Duke Saturday.

right into the surprised Haynes
hands. Hall took it on the Red
skins 81 and ran 80 yards to
New York's "a before being
hauled down.
1t was a raggedy- pants aggre-
cation that won the game, with
the veteran Dudley going in on
offense for the first time this
season to help spark the teams
second touchdown drive. It was
Dudley's 37-yard field goal in
the final quarter. which. in the
final analysis. decided the game.
The player-coach, who also
kicked the three extra points,
made II important yards on
three tries.
Dudley replaced leg-weary
Charley Justice, who had, plant
ed the ball on New York's 18-
yard line with a 53-yard run on
a pass from Eddie LeBaron.
Bullet Bill smashed through the
line to the three, and LeBaron,
failing to find a receiver open,
went around right end for the
score.
Halfback Johnny Williams
started that advance by inter-
cepting one of Charlie Conerly's
26 passes. Another interception
by Williams on the Giants 28-
yard line put the machinery in
motion for his teams final
touchdown. Sam Baker ran IL
yards to the Giants Is, and
Justice took it the rest Of the
way with a smart dash inside
left guard.
Giants Click on Passes.
A barrage of passes took the
Giants rs yards for their third
touchdown, which Eddie Price
scored on a line buck Of less than
a foot. But with less than three
minutes to play, the Redskins
played for time and the Giants
ran only two plays, after regain
ing the ball, before the game
ended.
The Giants walked all over the
Redskins in the first half,
marching IL yards to score in
the second period, after being
held earlier on Washington's g.
inch line. The Redskins, with
Jim Ricca, Laurie Niemi, Knox
Ramsey and Jack Cloud doing
yeoman duty, held for three
downs inside their own ,8-yard
line before Frank Clifford plunged
over from the one.
Sonny Grandelius. who gave
the Redskins trouble in the first
game in Washington this season,
got the Giants started for their
second touchdown late in the
second period with a 31-yard
jaunt to midfleld. Kyle Rote
scored on an 11-yard throw
from Conerly.
Redskins Shift Players.
The Giants rolled up 129 yards
rushing in the first half, but added
only 81 in the second half against
a line that saw Paul Lipscomb
playing right end, Dick Alban on
wing despite a painful back
injury. and, with others like Joe
TereShinSki, Niemi and Cloud
playing strange positions.
Rote, who caught eight passes
for 126 yards, was the Giants
most dangerous threat in that
department. Taylor caught six
for 73 yards for the Redskins.

And Good Radiance, Too

The House has done good job in voting
to get rid of the personal property tax on
household furnishings. 1t is thoroughly bad
law. 1t is not enforceable in any equitable
manner, and it makes tax evaderS of otherwise
honest citizens The loss of revenue is not to be
sneezed at, for the tax has been producing about
$850000. But tax assessors have commended that
If the same personnel and enforcement efforts
required to collect this money were applied to
the enforcement of other taxes, the loss would
be recouped. One doubts very much that the
abolition of this tax would mean, in the end,
that many taxpayers save any money. They
are apt to have to pay more, rather than less,
in taxes. But the collection of taxes should be
a strictly equitable process, with no favors
shown to those who are slick enough to dodge
payment. That was not possible with the per-
sonal property tax. If the law is repealed 1t
will be good radiance.

Dear Sir,
1--WE live on an acre in Bethesda, with
black and gray squirrels flying about,
very tantalizing to our two Boston
terriers which chase them, endlessly.
Our bird feeding station, with the
squirrel battle which Col. H. dreamed
up, is just outside our kitchen window.
II keep a square pan with water
for the birds and squirrels and possums
on the wide edge of our goldfish pool.
Some Of the birds fly down on the
ice. when it is half melted, and get q
drink. And, sometimes, perch on q
floating board which is used to break
the ice.
Sometimes we have tragedies, but
not often. Last fall we had to rescue
a small possum which was clinging to
the drain pipe. and put him in the sun
to dry.
I'VE have lots of male and female
cardinals and as many as IL to Is
males have been counted at one time.
One perches in bush and waits for
the feed in the late afternoon. He is
the only one who stations himself
there.

No (DoyIiqht) lime to Waste

Westinghouse are fortunate in having
the Case daylight saving bill referred to sub
committee under Craftsmanship of Senator
Beall of Maryland. He is neighbor, and comes
about as near being spokesman for the Dis
trict as we have in the Senate. He can be
counted on to get things started on this
legislation soon.
The earlier the better. Only four Sundays
intervene now before the last Sunday in April,
when daylight saving usually becomes effective.
The Case bill would confer continuing authority
on the Commissioners to proclaim daylight
saving, provided Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York City-or any two of these cities-go
on daylight saving time, and provided the
Commissioners decide that for the District of
Columbia to do likewise serves the public well
fare, convenience and necessity of the residents
Of Washington.
If that is the way the legislators want to
phrase it, it is all right as long as we get
daylight saving time and avoid the great
fusion of being out of tune with other cities
Of the country. But it is another ironic COM
mentary on votelesS Washington to realize that
daylight saving here will be permitted by our
lords and masters, not because the people of
Washington want it-and they debut because
the people of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York want it.

By Charles E. Trocewen

The cedar waxwings are constant
visitors. often in flocks of so or more
birds.
Rare bird visitors to the Eastern
States have been reported recently in
lower New York State and from New
Jersey.
These include the Western tanager,
the white-winged crossbill, the pine
grosbeak and the redpoll.
Flocks of as many as 1000 redpolls
have been sighted in New Jersey, near
the towns of Newfoundland and
Franklin.
It is possible that some Of these birds
have wandered into our area, to con-
fuse few watchers.
Shortage Of pine cones in the North
woods has forced them to come South,
according to some of the experts.
The State Of New Jersey also has had
many Baltimore orioles this winter.
The Western tanager is beauty,
bright yellow, with red face and black
tinged wings. The open winter, rather
than lack of food, is suggested as the
reason for the presence of these birds.
Some will think that atomic tests
may have something to do with 1t.
Birds of all types are more sensitive to
such things than humans. Recall how
canaries were used in the trenches Of
World War ! to detect gases.

New District Commissioner

In his first major appointment to a local
office, President Eisenhower has chosen AZ
year-old Samuel Spencer to succeed F.'Joseph
Donohue as District Commissioner
1t looks like a good appointment. Some
reservation is necessary since Mr.. Spencer has
no record in District affairs to serve as guide
to his probable performance as Commissioner.
native Washingtonian he is a Phi Beta Kappa
graduate of Harvard College and he later
received law degree from Harvard Law School.
He had an excellent combat record in the Navy
during World War H. and now heads his own
law firm here. He is secretary of the board of
Ch1ldrenS Hospital, a member of the board of
the District chapter of the American Cancer
Society, and he has been active in raising funds
for the National Symphony Orchestra. Mr..
Spencer'S political career has been brief, and
Is distinguished chiefly by the fact that he was
one of four Eisenhower delegates among 40
elected during the Republican primary here
last year. This is an excellent background for
young lawyer, but the step up to the COM
miSsionership of this trouble burdened city
will be big one. Mr.. Spencer will need-and
should haVe-the best wishes and support of
all who are concerned with the welfare of the
Capital City.
1t would be remiSS at this time not to say
word of appreciation for Mr.. Donohue'S services
to this community
The Star has not been in agreement with
all of the policies of the outgoing Commissioner.
But it is hard to think of any other Commits
Sioner who has worked harder or more intelli-
gently to accomplish the thousand and one
things that need to be done in this city. AS
Mr.. Donohue, an ardent Democrat, prepares to
leave the District Building at the age of SO, no
clairvoyant gifts are required to venture the
forecast that his future lies before and not
behind him.

'Absurdity of an Old Law

A skilled physician never attempts to
treat symptoms but strikes directly at
the disease. A great newspaper should
follow his example, which The Star
failed to do in its recent editorial,
"Absurdity of an Old Law"
Political abuse was the reason behind
resurrection of the 1910 Virginia law
prohibiting oficeholding by Federal
workers. Certain provisions Of the
Hatch Act provide for creation OF
third-party movements which may,
under the guise of local-level non
partisanism, perform all the acts OF
political party yet enjoy the protection
of the act, whereas Federal employees
who wish to remain Republicans or
Democrats may. be severely penaliZed
for the same activities.
In Arlington, such a third-party
movement became known as the Nom

Another Phony Line

Now that the attempt to discredit Charles e.
Bohlen on security grounds has been blown out
of the water, his Senate opponents are lining up
for an attack on different front. Even Senator
Mccarthy is trying to save face by backing away
from the security-risk thence and is saying that
he will oppose Mr.. Bohlen as Ambassador to
Moscow because the nominee is part and parcel
OF the Acheson- Truman policy planners
This is essentially the position that has
been taken by Senator Bridges and some others
who oppose the nomination. 1t is not as vicious
as the securityrisk line of attack but it is every
bit as absurd.
Mr.. Bohlen has spent "a years in the State
Department. and has worked up to the top or
close to the top, of the Foreign Service. He is,
In short, career man in service that has
grown rapidly in Importance as this country
has emerged from the relative isolation of
few decades ago to its current role as foremost
world power.
To meet the responsibilities OF this new role,
an intelligent, experienced and competent For
eign Service is of the highest Importance. It
must be composed of men and women who,
while they do not make policy, are equipped to
advise on policy and to execute policy.
Mr. Bohlen's crime in this respect seems to
be that he has measured up too we'll to the
exacting standards of the Foreign Service. The
that he went to Yalta with Mr. Roosevelt as an
interpreter, or that he worked tremendously
under Dean Acheson when the latter was Sec
rotary of State and when Mr. Truman was in
the White House His opponents ignore the
fact that President Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles would not have selected Mr.. Bohlen as
Ambassador to Russia if they were not confident
that he would work just as tremendously under
their direction.
That is what the Foreign Service is trained
to do, and it would be literally impossible for
this country to carry on its foreign relations
successfully if the service were not stated with
people capable of doing precisely what Mr..
Bohlen is being condemned for doing.
AS matters stand there appears to be no
chance that this little band of willful Senators
will be able to cast Mr. Bohen into the outer
darkness simply because he has done the job
that Foreign Service officer is expected to do.
And it is gratifying that they apparently will
fail in their blind attack. The disturbing thing
is that they are so blind that they do not seem
to see that this assault on Mr. Bohlen is really
an attack on the best traditions of the Foreign
Service-an attack which, If it were to succeed,
would be capable of doing infinitely greater
injury to this country than the so-called
betrayal at Yalta.'
