Along The Potomac
With Your Congressman
Dewitt s. HYDE

The House Committee ON Gov
ernment Operations has reported
that the federal government is in
volved in so many business activi-
ties it is threatening private in
dustry.
After completing an iuvestiga-
tiou the committee reported the
government is in manufacturing
and service industries which almost
look like a classified phone book
when strung together. Its manu-
featuring runs from bakery goods
to sleeping bags; its service ac-
tivities from banking to ware
housing; it sells drinks and re-
treads tires; it builds chairs, tables,
roads and dams.
This is nothing ncw-the Navy
began making rope and paint for
itself the first day it eXistcd-but
it seems to be growing. The COM
mittee says the government is com
peting, sometimes unfairly, with
private enterprise, and is using tax
money to run activities which
would produce tax revenues if they
were in private hands
Some challenging facts are listed
in the report: Government wealth
grew PTS percent while private
wealth grew only IL percent be
tween 1929 and 194S The federal
government has supplies and stores
on hand which equal or exceed the
inventories of al nl.ivatn hl1sinnss

CINCINNATI, Nov. Sits
great fun to coach "men with
minds" says Sid Gilman, one Of
the smartest football coaches in
the business.
His University of Cincinnati
football team is driving for an
unbeaten, united season. Stand
ing in the path to a perfect sea-
son are two conference leaders
and one league champion.
Arizona State Of Tempe Is
leading the Border Conference,
Wichita is ahead of the Missouri
Valley field and Miami of Ohio
has captured the Mid-American
title. Miami also is unbeaten and
united.
"We now are only worried
about the conference leader we're
facing this week, Arizona State"
Gilman said today. "Then we'll
worry about the next one."
His Bearcats are one Of seven
major unbeaten, united teams in
the country and are ranked No.
13 in the current Associated
Press poll. He says he's not
superstitious about the number.
"Our team, as far as victories
are concerned, is a success" he
told reporter. But we have a
long way to go. We're not real
good football team yet, although
things may be popping soon. Our
football has been spasmodic, up
one week, down the next"
Cincinnati has beaten Detroit,
Dayton, Tulsa, Marquette, Har-
din-Simmons, city rival Xavier
and College of the Pacific. It

yielded no first downs to Xavier,
which then went on to upset
Boston College.
What's the strategy?
Gilman uses two squads, the
Bear" and the Cat" The
Bears, stronger Of the units,
generally work the first and
third quarters. The Cats, laden
with nine sophomores. start the
second and fourth. If he's
pressed, Gilman keeps the Bears
on the field.
This two-platoon system wears
down the opposition in the first
half. Then in the dressing room
at halftime, Gilman pinpoints
the opposition's weak spots with
smart offensive playmaking. The
club picks up it's yardage and
points in the last two periods.
Providing offensive punch are
Capt. Dick Goist. a deceptive
halfback; Quarterback Mike
Murphy, who usually can come
up with the play that will add
the necessary 3 yards, and Joe
Miller, a bucking fullback.
But the mastermind is the 43-
year-old Gilman. His record of
80 victories, II losses and two
ties as a head football coach is
second in the country only to
Bud wilkinson of Oklahoma.
Both teams own the current
longest victory streak, Is
straight.
Gilman refuses to single out
any player for praise.
"This is as smart a group of
boys as I've ever coached" he
said. "It's always great fun to
coach men with minds"

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Ger-
man riders left only crumbs on
the table for the horsemen of
four other nations when the
greatest of American horse
shows opened yesterday at Mad
tson Square Garden.
AS a team and individually,
the Germans were unbeatable
in the first two events of the
National Horse Shows Interna-
tional Division-the low score
event for teams and the inter-
national good will challenge
trophy for solo performers.
At the close of the Pennsyl-
vania National last week, Gen
Humberto Marbles Mexican
squad had licked off nine of II
possible firsts in the battle be-
tween the top jumpers of Cam
ada, the United States, Spain,
Mexico and Germany. Marbles
promptly predicted the Ger
mans would be the men to beat
in New York's eight-day meet.
On the first afternoon he saw
his prophecy stand up when the
German squad outpointed the
Mexicans by a margin of 7 Sec
onds in the low score test. Each
team had IL faults. or a total
of three knockdowns for three
horses.
Jumps Better for Europeans.
Hans Winkler of Germany and
the big. powerful mare, Halla,
managed the only clean perform
ance among the is entries In

were more to the European taste
as there were simulated Irish
banks and a triple in-and-

Summer Tan Fights
Battle for His Life
After Illness Hits Coli
By the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK. Nov. 3.-The
toughest battle Of them all faced
Summer Tan today, and horse
men everywhere were pulling for
the 2-year-old bay colt owned
by Mrs. Russell A. Firestone to
come home winging.
Summer Tan. one of the most
promising Of all juveniles and
winner OF the worlds richest
horse race just last Saturday,
j was fighting for his racing ca
reer and possibly his life today.
The son of Heliopolic- Miss
libby, who left IA competitors
houndering in the mud as he
won the $269.965 Garden State
Stakes Saturday. is suffering
from a blood clot in the arteries
supplying the large intestine.
He was stricken Monday after
noon after being moved to Bel
mont Park from Garden State.
Mrs. Firestone had planned to
rest him at Belmont before
transporting him to Florida for
the winter season.
Resting Fairly Well.
"He's seriously ill.," his trainer,
Sheriff. w. Ward, said. "He has
been resting fairly we'll, but he's
far from out of the woods"
Summer Tan, who is crowding
the Belair Studs Nashau for
honors as the best 2-year-old of
the year, earned $3.50, ,420.75 this
year. In addition to Saturdays
whopping victory with Eric
HGuerin aboard. the colt won the
Youthful, United States Hotel
and CoWdin Stakes and has
four seconds in II outings. One
Of his seconds was to Nashau by
q head in the Belmont Futurity,
run over Belmont's straight
-Widener course. He defeated
Nashau in the Cowdin.
A top candidate for the Ken
lucky Derby and other big races
for 3-year-olds next year, Sum-
lner Tan is the fourth of this
years juveniles to be stricken
this season.

Nashua is out until the Florida
season after suffering a fever
which kept him from running in
the Garden State Stakes. Clear
water Stables Royal Coinage,
third in the Futurity, raped an
ankle in that race, while Wilton
Stables Royal Note is trying to
recover from bursitis of the knee.
Turn-to, top 2-year-old of
1858 and the winter-book fav-
orite for the Kentucky Derby
last year, never got to race in
the Louisville classic. He suf-
fered a bowed tendon and was
