Carnevale isn't letting himself
get carried away.
Il saw Maryland beat George
Washington" he says. That's
a tough ball club. They have
good shooters and balance and
they are the best defensive team
I've seen this year."
Middies' Record 1874.
The Middies have a 1874 rec
ord and have lost twice to Duke.

game. "a per cent in the other"
The Middies made 545 per
cent of their shots against the
patched-up Hoyas. who brought
up three players from the intra-
murals to help fill gaps caused
by scholastic failures and in
juries. LANCE made IA of 20
goals for 10 per cent and scored
SO points. Clune made good l3

ords for one and two years at
st. Peters Prep in Jersey City.
LANCE Uses Pendulum Style.
Lange, who learned his bas-
ketball while playing for the
Norfolk Flyers. All-Navy cham
pions in 1948 and 1949, makes
most of his points with a pendu-
lum-like hook shot. a long, loop
ing thing that moves toward the
basket as though it had eyes.
He can shoot it from left or right.
Clune's speciality is a jump
shot, but he, too, once had a
hook.
Il did in high school," he says,
but I decided I wasn't tall
enough to use it in college, so
developed the jump since I've
been here"
Clune is a 21-year old, 6-foot-

Georgetown never had q

two of the top teams ever produced in the
District
Basketball is a comparatively young
sport, and there are too many round ball
fans in town who still remember when one
man shot all the fouls, the center jump, and
when a team with Frank Selvy's current
personal average could have swept every
game on its schedule.
Although basketball is young, no major
sport has progressed faster or changed more.

Marjorie Davies has the
most palatial setting of all for
a party, the most exquisite ap-

collections of incredibly beau

After a summer in Europe,
she arrives in New York Tues
day fresh from a brilliant sea-
son in London and a visit with
King Haakon VII of Norway.
Her friendship with the 81
year-old monarch dates back
many, many years when she
frequently entertained the
King and the late Queen Maud
on her yacht, the Sea Cloud,
when it was anchored in Nor
wegian waters. She'll stay at
the Sherry Netherlands in New
York for a while and come to
Washington later. But she will
definitely be here on November
20 for one of the biggest and
most blueblooded social events
Washington has ever witnessed.

1t might be added at this
point that in his political sup

talk and outmaneuver his
rivals, M. Mendes-France re-
minds the American visitor of

Mr.. Roosevelt. But with that,
and his imaginative moves. the

The fact is that M. Mendes-

management. He has been a

years and will attend its meet

are excellent listening posts for
the anti-C Communists. Much
accurate information on con-
ditions in Southern China Is
obtained through Quemoy.
Since the surrender at Ge-
neva, the Communist propa-
ganda organs have been blar-
ing that they would '.liberate"
Formosa. Foreign Minister
Chou En-lai has given these
tidings to the world three
times already. Moscow's prop
aganda machinery has backed
up the Red Chinese leaders
statements in every possible
way.
The question before the
American Government is
whether to deploy the 7th
Fleet to support the National
ist defenders in the event there
is a serious chance that the
Quemoys might be over
Whelmed--which is not, so FAR,
the case.
Conquest of the Quemoys
would have a very high prop
aganda value to the Reds.
For these reasons it would
seem important to include the
two small islands in the For
mosan defense periphery. If
we were to let them go our
already shaken prestige in
Asia would suffer seriously.
Those who are skeptical
about involvement of the new
ly reinforced 7th Fleet say that
the risks are too great con-
sidering the advantages OF
Chang Kai-shek retaining the
two outposts. So far, these off,
cials say, the Reds have not
brought into play any portion
of their air force, which we
have reason to believe is To-
Gated in Southern China.
If the American Navy were
to interfere with the Red am
phibious operations, it seems

upon by all the powers; that
the ''liberation" of the island
is q purely internal Chinese
affair; and that Communist
China has "the strength as
well as the determination" to
"liberate"s Formosa. That is
a precise declaration.
Lacking is the certainty OF
what the United States in
tends to do If the Communists
attack one bright morning
the United. States. because 1T
is apparent that none of the
allies will initially do anything
at all. We are apparently
assuming that the mere pres
ence of the 7th Fleet and
the danger of precipitating
general war still will deter Red
China from attempting decisive
action. 1t might if the Chinese
Communists were convinced
that a decisive strike for For
mosa would have that result
that it would bring war, II
not with a coalition, at least
with the United States. AS a
deterrent that certainty is es-
sential. But neither the new
Southeast Asia pact nor any
clear American policy furnishes
such certainty.
Friends who know the area
tell me that the Chinese con-
troll the China seas in a pecu-
liar sense because they do not
need great modern dread
naughts. Their seamanship in
their own junks is superb.
Whether a sufficient number
could get through an active
American fleet to stage an ef-
fective landing is, of course,
a question. But more i'm
portant is whether the fleet

Two international Situa-
tions are weighing heavily on
the minds Of our military

One, in the Far East, con-
Germs Quemoy. The other IS
in western Europe and con-
Germs Germany.
These unquestionably will be
the main topics at the summer
White House this week end

the National Security Council.

Straits is explosive. Even IN

innate that the Chinese Com
munists may mean business"

The Reds are concentrating
their fire on the Quemoy
Islands within a few miles OF
the big Communist island OF
Annoy, which is practically q
part Of the mainland. The Ma

far. But the Communists have
not yet attempted landing op-

ported to have some 100, 600
men available in Fukien

icy makers is whether the 7th
Fleet shall go into action II
the Reds launch a major at

1t is not clear. on the basis
Of present orders, whether
Quemoy is included in the de-
