Mayors Begin 10 BaIk
Al Federal Plans for
Atom Bomb Defense

Some Of the Mayors gathered
here for a conference on civil de-
fense began to balk today at the
way the Federal Government is
handling plans for protectingsthe
population from atomic bomb
ingS.
Democratic Mayor Roy Hof-
heinz of Houston, Tex, wanted
Federal officials to give the pub
lie more facts about atomic mat
tiers. And Democratic Mayor
Joseph S. Clark, jr., of Philadel-
phia wanted Uncle Sam-instead
of the cities-to put up most of
the money for civil defense work.
This stand challenged Presi-
dent Eisenhower, who said yes
terday that civil defense depends
primarily on the readiness of
fire departments, hospital and
health departments, police de-
partments and sanitation de-
partmentS. Gen. Eisenhower, in
an opening address to the con-
ference, said it would be- "unwar-
ranted interference" for the
Federal Government to get in
volved in these fields.
IT'S Mayors Attending.
Mayors from ITS cities are
here for two days of closed meet
ings with Federal officials. Vice
President Nixon started today's
final session by brief1ng the
Mayors on his around the world
trip. y
Most details of the conference
were kept secret. but the feelings
of some Mayors came out during
the Du Mont television networks
program, the Big Issue. On
this program, Philadelphia's s
Mayor Clark declared civil de-
fense will be "a dead duck"
unless Washington takes the
primary responsibility and puts
up most of the money.
He got support from Houston
Mayor Hofeinz, who complained
that Federal secrecy about
atomic matters had extended
even to the conference itself.
II for one," he said, heard
nothing which should be con-
cealed from the public"
Indianan Backs Local Work.
Mayor Alec M. Clark Of Indi-
annapolis. supported Gen. Eisen-
hower's emphasis on cities doing
most Of their own civil defense
work. He said he doubted that
city dwellers would get as much
out of a Federal program as they
would have to put in through
taxes.
Civil Defense Administrator Val
Peterson, who also appeared on
the program, argued that only
the cities can do what is needed
to minimize casualties should
atomic war come.
This conceded with Gen. Ell
senhower'S views. as expressed in
his opening address yesterday.

Judge Kirkland decided it

Georgetown University has
some rough nights ahead this
basketball season, but as of now
Coach Buddy Jeannette is almost
happy.
And when Jeannette, a per-
fectionist and driver, is almost
happy, that's like normal man
hitting his head on a cloud.
AS Jeanette said last night
after the Hoyas beat Mount St.
Mary's, 1888, at McDonough
Gym: IF you'd told me three
weeks ago we would win our first
three games, I would've laughed
at you."
The most Jeanette would say
about his team three weeks ago
was: IF we don't lose all our
games, We'll win few"
Jeannette still faces the long
season ahead with caution, and
no one can blame him with such
powers as DuqueSne. LaSalle,
Fordham, Navy and George
Washington to be met.
st. JOSeph'S Is Next.
st. Joseph's, boasting a 6-foot-
7, 235-pound scoring star in Jerry

AU Gets Set for Navy
By Routing Cardinals;
GaI|audef Wins Third

Gallaudet's third straight vic
tory, a $3.50 triumph over
Bridgewater, and American Uni
versity's convincing defeat of
Catholic University, 74-52, high
lighted Mason-Dixon Conference
competition in the area last
night.
American, tuning up for to-
morrow's game with Navy at
Annapolis. ran up a 41-23 lead
in the first halt and Coach Dutch
Schulze devoted most of the sec
ond to polishing his teams game
for the Navy encounter.
The winless Cards couldn't stop
the Eagles Bud DAILY and Jimmy
Williams, despite an all-court
press in the third period. Cath
olic made it exciting, but with
only Hal Freeman and Tom Nc
Kavitt hitting the net with any
consistency, it couldn't match its
hosts frepower.
It was the second victory of
the year for American, which
turned back Scranton U. and
bowed to Manhattan and New
York U. last week.
Gallaudet visits Towson to-
morrow in quest of its fourth
league victory. The undefeated
Blues already have matched last
years record of three wins and
are aiming to better it at Tow
sons expense. Catholic U. visits
Towson Friday night.
Dick Caswell and Joe Rose,
who hit for 81 points between
them, paced Gallaudet's attack
last night. They got their mates
off to a f1rst-quarter lead but
the attack sagged in the second
period as Bridgewater came on
to tie the count at 19-all.
Joe Miley and Dick Wampler,
scoring 81 and 10 points, respec-
lively. sparked the Virginians'
attack.
Gallaudet. with victories over
Western Maryland and Gu in
previous games, is hitting a pace
certain to land a berth in the
conference championship playoff
if it continues.

the finest rookie tackle to come
into the league in recent years.
He was mighty slow starting but

on the Redskins bench. You
don't get any underserved pats
on the back from those pew
holders because every mistake
bruises them.

Speaking of polls, it seems to
us that Spring Hill Farms Jam e
K. deserved more consideration
than he received in the bslloting
for 3-year-old honors. Alfred
Vanderbilt's Native Dancer most
certainly was the champion II
the class, but Jamie K, who lost
by a neck to Native Dancer in
the PreakneSs and the Belmont
Stakes. two of the Dancers most
important victories, was almost
completely overlooked by the
experts.
jamie K. equaled a track rec
ord in the Leonard Richards
Stakes at Delaware Park, then
went into tailspin and WAS
beaten five straight times. But
even in defeat he proved himself
more than just another horse.
Trainer John Partridge adj
vanced a plausible reason for
Jamie K S decline after his good
showing in early spring. A
physical checkup revealed that
the colt suffered from anemia,
which Partridge blamed on
sickness suffered at Hialeah last
February. He recovered and for
six weeks, from the beginning Of
May until the middle of June,
Jamie K. reached and held his
best form. After that Partridge
believes a reaction set in and the
colt declined steadily. 1t will be
interesting to see what he does
as a 4-year-old. We. for one,
like his chances of being one of
the best.
1t happened at Bowie. A young
woman, making her first visit
to racetrack, saw the seven
furlong chute.
This tracks got dead end"
she complained.
And then there was the chap
who spotted a cinch winner in
the second race and sweated a
couple of hours over the form
to dope the winner of the first
for daily double bet. He got
down to two horses and bet both.
They ran one-tWo.
Between races he happened
to meet the owner of the "cinch"
horse on his double ticket.
