cident that the judges are placed
on different sides Of the ring.
You see O wild punch thrown
and hear thud and O sharp

But the groan came from the

The TV camera Just has O
built-in Shortcoming in this mat
ter. which it shares with movie
cameras. It's a shortcoming
inherent In fiat pictures. which
the movie-makers have taken ad-
vantage Of by staging some ap-
parently rough but non-bruising
suggests. A movie battle is
made up Of a lot Of near misses
that look like hits and the same
can be true Of q televised prize
fight.
So the sports writer's would
rather not hear any more from
the homebound experts. Not. at
least, until we have SD tele-

to believe the ringside announcer

'TV Cameras S Flat Pictures
Fool New Fight Experts
On the Air
BY Harry Macarthur

It is not the policy around
here to feel sorry for sports
writer's. They meet all sorts Of
interesting people in their dodge
and they get to go to the foot
ball games free while us poor TV
columnists have to sit at home
and slave away watching them
on television. Leave no sorrow
be wasted upon the sports
writer's, the rule has been around
here.
Still, it may be time to violate
the old rule just this once and
1t is television's fault. Just the
other day a sports columnist was
bemoaning his fate up in The
Star lunchroom.
"You know what television has
done?" he demanded and then
answered himself. "Television
has filled the country with ex-
perts. It is not like the good
old days when a man could
report what he saw and be be-
lieved. Now everybody is an ex-
pert and everybody wants to
argue.
1.-THE worst experts Of all" he
went on. "are the prizefight ex-
perts who never saw a fight in
their lives except on a television
screen. I'm always meeting some
one who asks me about a fight !
covered. I tell him how it was
and he tells me it wasn't that
way at all. I'm sitting at the
ringside and he's sitting $50
miles away and he wants to give
me an argument"

In case you know somebody
who ranks among the TV fight
experts who never saw a fight,
and you undoubtedly do, there
is some technical information
you had better pass along. A
prizefight, with two men gener-
ally in range Of the same cam
era, may lend itself better to
televising than, say, football. with
% men who sometimes are scat
tered over a wide area. A TV
camera still isn't the best fight
reporter, however.
For one thing, the TV cam
eras can see only one side Of q

Defends Snow Tires

tires.
The association replied to q
statement yesterday by A. Julian
Brylawski, Public Education

better than any type of tire
treads.
The association said it was
sending a letter to Mr.. Brylawski
noting that apparently motorists
with snow tires were we'll able to
keep moving safely in yesterdays
hazardous street conditions.
Furthermore said w. w.
Marsh. executive secretary of
the association. I'VE feel that
the people of Washington should
be commended for their far
sightedness in preparing for the
driving conditions we are expert
encing rather than inferring that
expenditures for snow treads has
been foolish investment"
Mr.. Marsh also explained that
there is a difference" between
"winterized tires" which use spe.
cial compounds in the tread rub
ber. and snow tires" commonly
referred to as bar. button or
suburbanite-type treads.
A report from the National

How to account for it all mys-
titled Secret Service agents who
repeatedly have questioned six
suspects in the 100000 theft

Although one suspect told
them 100 of the bills were spent
in Baltimore in an effort to
change as many 20s as possible,
not one has been reported there.
One was found near Bladens-

In their latest accounting, in
vestigators reported a total of

were passed. This is consider
ably under the estimate of about
800 made earlier.
Altogether $34. 1880 is still miss
ing from the original 20s, but
enough small bills to which the
money was converted has been
recovered to reduce the actual
missing loot to less than $50, 900.
Although the theft first was
believed committed on New

blocked Senate action on two
other city bills carried over from
the past session.
One was the HouSe-paSsed bill
for modernization of the Dis
