Lions Down
BrOwns.In
Blizzard Sun.
BY FRITZ HOWELL

CLEVELAND RHBuddy Park
er'S Detroit Lions defeated the
Cleveland Browns for the seventh
time in eight tries yesterday. and
after the blizzard-swept game the
rival coaches said:
Paul E. Brown - "We'd have
liked a victory in that one, but
we didn't get it."
Parker - 81 wish that were the
score of next Sundays game"
The score was 14-1O, and the
Lions hit the airways for the come
from-behind touchdown in the las,
so seconds after it appeared the
Browns had it wrapped up.
The game, except for the pres
tige involved, meant nothing, since
each team had already clinched its
division championship. It was a
makeup tilt, postponed from Oct.
3, and served as practice swing
for next Sundays clash between
the same clubs for the world cham
pionShip.
Most astounding thing about the
game, played in deep snow which
fell for hours before and during
the game, was that Cleveland S
vaunted passing attack, its most
dangerous weapon, gained only
four yards. Otto Graham COM
pleted only one of six tries.
But Detroit's Bobby Layne con-
nected on IS of 81 for 1873 yards
and both touchdowns. The first
came on a 26-yarder to end Dorne
Dibble to deadlock the game at
TT in the third quarter. Then
Layne completed six of seven tries
-four to jug Girard for 56 yards
in the eight-play, 74-yard drive
which won in the final mirsste. The
payoff was an 11-yarder to Girard.
The Browns had the ball in Lion
territory only twice, and they
scored both times. The first time
came in the opening minutes when
fullback Bill Boman fumbled later
Graham sneaked for the counter.
In the third period, after Detroit
had tied it, Cleveland moved from
the 20 to Detroit's 81. AS the drive
stalled, golden-toed Lou Groza
backed up to the 43 and kicked
his 10th field goal in "a tries 10
put the Browns ahead 10-7.

NEW YORK 1R - Men who, a
month ago, were convinced that
Paul Richards had Squandered
what little talent the seventh-place
Baltimore Orioles possessed are be-
ginning to concede now that the
brooding genius from Waxahachie
might have reassembled a pretty
fair ball club - a Seunder one, at
least, than he started with.
This shift in sentiment has been
pronounced since Richards, with
out giving up anything except mon
ey, latched on to the two Brooklyn
veterans Preacher Roe and Billy
Cox. The feeling now is that if
one or two highly valued rockies
come through for him the Orioles
could well move up a notch next
season. Maybe even a couple of
nOtcheS.
With Cox on third and Willie
Miranda at shortstop, it is pointed
out, the club will offer about as
brilliant a defense on the left side
of the infield as there is in the
game today. If the pair will not
produce too many runs, they will
not let a great number dribble
through them either. They'll make
Baltimore pitching look a good deal
better.
Roe, though pushing 40 and not
the fooler he once was, might easi-
ly reward Richards with or 10
victories when used sparingly, as
he will be, and spotted against the
lesser clubs. American League
batters have seen very little of the
Preachers stuff, which is sus-
pected of containing certain
amount of moisture, and they
could find him quite tough for a
time.

Utah's Win Over LaSalle Gives

BY Ed WlLKS
The Associated Press

If there are any better outfits
than Utah in the college basket
ball ranks at present, they better
stand up and be counted.
The Utes brought $3.50 60
mark into Madison Square Garden
Saturday night and to everyone'S
surprise proceeded to score a 1859
victory over LaSalle, erstwhile
NCAA champion and the nations
No. / team in last weeks Asso-
ciated Press poll.
Utah showed a relaxed, confident
team, well coached and unawed by
the Explorers. They were in com.
mand for the greater share of the
final half after trailing 41-3S at the
intermiSSion.
The Utes, though expertly
coached by Jack Gardner, the for
mer Kansas State mentor, were
by no means great team against
LaSalle. But they'll do until a bet
ter one comes along.
Admittedly, LaSalle, with stand
out Tom Cola netting only 10
points, might have experienced an
off night. But it's doubtful that
even tip-top LaSalle club could
have restrained the UteS. The Utes
were so superior the result can't
even be termed an upset, except
by way of excuse among the ex-
perts who delegated Utah to no.
better than the No. Is spot in the
rankings.
Whether Utah is actually as good
as it looked should show up to-
morrow night at Lexington, KY,
when Utah runs up against Ken
lucky, No. 2 in the nation, in the
first round of the Kentucky Invita-
tional Tournament.
BY coincidence, LaSalle is in the
same get-together, opposing South
ern California in the first round.
Kentucky stayed among the un-
beaten last week with a 1851 lac

A three-member committee of the Anti-Defa-
nation League of B'nai Birth which spent the
past month surveying the progress of democratiza-
ton in West Germany, reported that the anti
Semitism of the Hitler era still prevails among
Germans
The singular exception among whom authori-
tative opinion-testing showed lessening Of anti
Semitism prejudice, were German youth of the
post-Hitler period. But "the assurances which we
have received in some quarters that ant-Semitism
no longer exists in Germany are not borne out
by the evident facts" the ADJ group declared.
While most Germans are embarrassed by dis
cussion Of Nazi prosecutions and seek to avoid
it and block it out of their minds, the ADJ survey
team found 'it is too much to expect that genera
ton subjected to the intensive anti-Seitic indoc
trination of the Nazis should so quickly rid itself
of its deep-seated hates"
The ADJ group debarked last week at Idlewild
Airport following the month-long study tour dur
ing which they visited eight major West German
cities, including Berlin The group included Jacob
Alison, treasurer of the League; Benjamin R. Ep-
stein, its national director; and Nathan C. Beth,
public relations director. They made their investi
cation at the invitation of Chancellor Adenauer,s
government

Council AssuiIed for
Soliciting Arab Greetings

The American Council for
Judaism was severely criti-
cized in a statement issued by
Rabbi Irving Miller, chairman
of the American Zionist Coun-
Gil, for soliciting and making
public messages of greetings
from the Arab diplomats in
this country.
''For a long time" the state
ment said, ''the vast majority
of American Jews have recogz
nized that the American Coun-
Gil for Judaism, a fractional
political group masquerading
as a religious movement, has
by one means or another
sought to hamper the estab-
lishment and later the develop
ment of the Democracy of Is
rael. This is the first time, how
ever, that a body of Americans,
protesting to be Jews, has pub
licly aligned itself with enc
mics of Israel and the Jewish
people. This disgraceful and
humiliating spectacle will meet
with the contempt it deserves
from American Jewry."

It was subsequently disclosed
that the arms will be supplied to
the Iraqi state-the heads of
which have been among the most
bellicose and hostile to Israel Of
all the Arab leaders-without any
guarantee tn a t the American
weapons would not be used
against Israel.
The Government of Israel pro-
tested to the State Department in

test through the United States

nounced the move and warned
that it would increase tension in

A mounting tide of protest

U. S. Policy Evokes Feeling
Of isolation" of Israel

NEW YORK. tJTAl - 1srael's
hopes for an early peace with the
Arab states have been "shatter-
ed" by the "intransigeant attitude
of the Arab world. the mounting
tensions along her border and the
overt pro-Arab policy of the So
Wet Union and the Soviet satel-
lites." DR.. Nahum Goldman.
chairman of the Jewish Agency.
said this week addressing the an
nual dinner sponsored by the
American Jewish Congress on be-
half of the United Jewish Appeal
at the Hotel Pierre.
Although Israelis are careful
not to reach any hasty conclu-
sions in interpreting Americas
policy in the Middle East, He
said, ''the vague and often vacil-
lating policy of the Unite d
States" contributes to "a feeling
of isolation" in Israel.
The major portion Of Dr.. Gold
mann's speech was devoted TO
statements which Assistant Sec
rotary Of State BYroade had made
in a Dayton. Ohio address. Dr..
Goldman praised Mr.. BYroade's
statements as an honest effort TO
strike a balance between Israel
and the Arab states. although de-
cisions such as arming the Arab
states battle Israel and are the
cause of anxiety. He replied
sharply to Mr.. BYroade's advice
TO the 1sraelis that they should
come to truly look upon POUR
selves as a Middle Eastern state
rather than as a headquarters-or
NUCLEUS to speak-of worldwide

Rep. Jacob Javits. an Admins
tration stalwart. dashed out in
Congress against the action and
pointedlY noted that there were
no commitments from the Arab
State of support TO Turkey and
Pakistan in the event Of commu-
mist aggression.
He asked what commitments
had been received from Iraq to
refrain from using these arms ag-
gressively or to supply arms to
other Arab states bordering on
Israel. In Baghdad, official circles
had insisted that the American
arms handout was entirely I'M
conditional.
Rep. Emanuel Celler also asked
what the United States would do
if Iraq used these arms to attack
Israel. He called on the State De-
partment 10 release the exact te,1
of the agreement with Iraq. State
Department officials had previ-
ouslY told reporters that there
would be no announcement Of the
amount or nature of the military
aid TO be given the Iraqis.
Assistant Secretary of State
Henry A. Byroade, the man chief
ly responsible for American Mid
die East policy, was hard-pressed
during the week to defend the
arms giveaway. A delegation rep
resenting the American Zionist
Committee for Public Affairs call
ed on him this week and, in a 90
minute parley, pressed the State
Department to reconsider its deci-
sion.
Mr.. Byroade also had a two
hour session with Philip Klutz-
nick, president of B'nai Birth.
American Zionist leaders were not
slow to leap to the attack. Rabbi
Irving Miller, president of the
Zionist Organization of America,
denounced the handout as "a re-
ward to a feudal government for
its open warfare upon the peace
loving state of Israel"
