came in for a lot of abuse dur
ing the recent playoff hassle
fer the football championship
of the Interhigh Leagues East
ern Division.
Pearce, whose job Is super
vising athletics in the Districts
Division I schools, seems well
justified now, however. in his
efforts to cram those three play
off games into a four day period.
His main reason was to keep
the insurance policy from run

Which all goes to introduce
the subject of Mike Deuel. of
Western who suffered one of the
more serious injuries during the
1858 season.
During the Western Coolidge
game in Griffith Stadium No
vember 9, Mike, linebacker and
reserve fullback. was throwing a
block downfield when his hip
pads slipped and he received a
hard kick over the left kidney.
That night he was admitted to
Garfield Hospital. He came
home last Saturday, after almost
four weeks in Garfield.

Of the original report, Hart
said:
"It is true we have been dis

We make many investment pur-

Churchill Declares
Chinese Offer Holds
New Hope for Peace
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, April Prime
Minister Churchill told the House
of Commons today Communist
China's latest proposals "seem
10 offer a new hope" for end
ing the Korean war.
He said the new Chinese for
mula appears consistent with
principles long held by Britain
and the United Nations-that
there should be no forceful re-
patriation of war prisoners.
These developments, if not
spoiled, certainly constitute a
considerable event." he said.
"They seem to offer a new
hope for the solution of the
prisoner-of-war difficulty and
for cessation of the fighting
in Korea for which we and our
allies-this government and the
late one-have striven so ear
nestly and so long"
Sees No Talks at Present.
But Mr.. Churchill turned
thumbs down on any Three
power talks with Russia now.
He made clear Britain wants to
test further the sincerity of the
Soviet peace overtures.
I'VE welcome what seems to be
a desire recently on the part of
the Soviet government for an
improvement in their relations
with other countries" the 78-
year-old Conservative leader de-
clared.
But" he added, IT think it
well to see how far progress is
made on these lines before at
tempting a decision on more
general talks"
Mr.. Churchill, replying to a
question, said Britain had made
no proposals for any three-power
talks with Russia and the United
States.

McManus explained that
Diane remained in the con-

Dubuque couple after they gave
him a lift when he posed as a
hitchhiker. He released them
unharmed, drove off in their
car and rejoined the girl.
It was then, Sheriff Martin
said, that the pair drove to Min

killed in a $42 holdup at a cafe
at Spring Valley. The victims
were Mrs. Davis Beaton. wife of
the cafe owner, and Mrs. Harriet

Sheriff Martin said he was
holding McManus on a charge of
armed robbery in connection
with the Dubuque holdup. But,
he said, New York, Illinois and
Minnesota authorities, when
they arrive today probably would
ask that the robbery charge be
waived.
Illinois officers arrived this
morning and began questioning
McManus at once about the
slayings Of the Bloombergs at
Keeneyville.
At Valley Stream shocked
neighbors said McManus was
"the politest boy in town."

G.O.P.L Leader Urge,
Better Setup for
Alexandra Voters

A Republican leader yesterday
urged Alexandria Mayor Mar
shall j. Beverley to do some
thing about improving voting
conditions in his city.
Robert S. Hope, who was 10th
District campaign chairman for
G. o. P. candidate Ted Dalton in
Tuesdays gubernatorial election,
sent Mayor Beverley a letter re-
questing voting machines and re-
districting to make voting faster.
Mr.. Hope said there were long
lines Tuesday in many wards,
particularly in the second ward.
He reminded Mayor Beverley
that committed was appointed
nearly a year ago to consider
adding new wards.
II am certain that you will
agree with me that no voter
should he discouraged from vot-
ing by the presence of a long
line. and the duties of the Of
fetal election workers should be
made as easy as possible" Mr.
Hope wrote.
He also complained that elec-
tion booths had not been set up
in several wards when the polls
opened. and voters had to help
election officials put the booths
in place. He said no lines we're
painted at most wards to desig-
nate the exact poll boundaries
with the result that overzeal-
Gus workers were allowed to
virtually follow the voters into
the booths"
Mr.. Hope said his letter was
written in a friendly manner and
not by way of criticism. He
said he realized that the sug-
gestions were not within Mayor
Beverley's jurisdiction, but de-
cided to write the mayor because
of the mayors great interest "in
everything that happens in AL
exandria."
