Government spokesmen called
it a good investment to bolster

George Marshall, who has had
trouble coaxing contract sigma
lures out of certain people this
year, added a profitable John
Henry to his collection last night
when Emil F. Kalkhof, advertis-
ing manager of the American Oil
Co., signed up for the 18th con-
Secutiye year as sponsor of the
broadcast and telecast of the
Redskins pro football games.
The signing featured the OPEN
ing portion of the Redskins
weekly TV show on WMAL-TV,
channel 7. WMAL, which has
aired the games ever since the
programs inception, again will
be the outlet.
All games will be broadcast,
but only road games will be tele-
cast under present plans.
No mention was made of Mel
Allen, who succeeded Harry Wis
mer last year as the man behind
the mike, but it is presumed that
Allen-who broadcaStS the New
York Yankees baseball games
again will call the play-by-play.
Jimmy Gibbons is expected to
handle the color description.
"Well, here we go for the 18th
successful season." said Kalkhof
putting his pen to the document
last night.
Lets call it the lucky
eleventh." suggested Marshall.
II know it's going to be Sue
cessful." Kalkhof rejoined.

James Egan, Amoco attorney,
told the TV audience a contract
with the Redskins really wasn't
necessary, but everything was in
legal order anyway.
Joseph Katz, head of the ad-
vertising agency handling the
Amoco account, said it was
nice to have I'll years COM
missions" out of the account.
AS a gag, Katz later produced
an unlaundered shirt, forgetting
that Marshall sold his laundry
business several years ago, and
said part of the deal was that
Marshall promised to have it
done" for him.
After Sordid money matters
we're disposed of, Marshall had
another verbal engagement with
sports writer's covering the Red
skins. He defended the National
Football Leagues present tele-
vision policy, but wouldn't ven-
ture an opinion about future
telecasts if the Government wins
its antitrust suit. In skirting
a discussion about Jack Scar
bath of Maryland, the Redskins
No. ! draft choice who has not
yet signed, Marshall declared it
was no problem to get good foot
ball players to play.
1.-THE good ones are looking
for places to play" he added.
He thought Scarbath, whom
he said wanted more money to
play than another quarterback,
presumably Eddie LeBaron, re-
ceived last year, should be
signed and working on play de-
tails with Redskins assistants.

NEW YORK, Mar. 12.-The
record books on the NCAA bas-
ketball tournament appear to be
in for another overhauling.
Big Clyde Lovellette of Kansas
reWrote the individual perfor-
mances section last year, setting
seven new records as his Jay
haWkerS swept to the title.
This time it's the team per-
formance section that is in dan
ger. Two records we're tied and
then broken Tuesday night in
f1rSt-round games, Most of the
rest will come under heavy fire
when the four regional tourna-
ments open second-round play
tomorrow night.
Holy Cross equalled the mark
for most points by one team in
a game when it ousted Navy,
87-74, at Philadelphia. And the
161-point total equalled the old
record for most points in a single
game by both teams, set back in
1850 when North Carolina State
beat Holy Cross.
Both Marks Wiped Out.
Then a couple of hours later
Seattle and Idaho State wiped
out both marks when Seattle
beat State. 88-77.
Statistics from the NCAA Serv-
ice Bureau indicate that Lowell
lette'S individual marks may not
be entirely safe, either.
Johnny O'Brien of Seattle
came within two points of Lowell
lette'S one-game high when he
scored AZ points against Idaho
State. And an even dozen play
ers from the original 22-team
field, including O'Brien, entered
tournament play averaging 20
points a game or better. That
was nine more than ever have
played in one tournament pre-
viously.
Five Ex-ChampionS Left.
The remaining 16 teams in
clude five former champions, a
record. With defending Kansas
are Indiana from 1910, Wyoming
from 1943, Oklahoma A&M from
1945 and 1916 and Holy Cross
from 1947.
This is the way the teams will

Both Truman and Eisenhower Accused of Going Ot
Half Cooked in Their Comments on White Issue

facts. But, in these days Of
pressure to get a headline be-
fore a counterheadline is OBJ
tanned by the other side. Mr..
Truman reacted precipitately
and to his own disadvantage.
Mr.. Truman never liked to
delve deeply into lengthy re-
ports and depended on his
staff to evaluate them. 1t is
quite possible that the FBI
memorandum wasn't taken
seriously then, any more than
it is given weight by lots of
the pro-Truman and New Deal
reporters here today who dis
count anything contributed by
ex-Communists, especially if
they have confessed their error.
The fact that Elizabeth Bent
ley, for example, testified about
the inside of the Soviet spy
ring and turned UP dozens of
names and facts which the
FBI investigators checked and
found accurate doesn't seem
to bother some of those who
insist on diSbelieving anybody
who confesses to communistic
activities.
Miss Bentley's testimony has
stood up in the criminal trials
where the FBI has used her
statements. JurieS have based
their verdicts not merely on
her Say-so but on testimony
of other witnesses who have
corroborated what she has
charged.
The whole tendency of some
of the Truman administration
officials of the New Deal type
was to assume that an attack
on a Communist was an at
tack on the New Deal or Fair
Deal and hence that it was
necessary for the Democratic
administration to take a de-
fensive attitude.
It would have been much
better, even this week, if the
Democratic leaders had ex-
pressed dismay that any es-
pionage' agent had slipped
through their checks, and they
might have stated frankly that
the matter of who did pooh
pooh the report and how it
came to be disregarded at the
White House should be thor
oughly studied as a lesson
for the future. Instead, the
cry of politics was raised,
which is a political blunder in
itself. For it's bad politics
for the Democrats to let the
public get the impression that
they would defend Communists
in Government, whereas the
