Gonzaga and Carroll
Clash Tonight in One
Scholastic Feature

/
licking by an upstart Carroll
team, Gonzaga takes on prac-
tically the same lineup tonight
in Grifflth Stadium in one Of
several outstanding scholastic
football attractions on a 26-
game schedule today and to-
morrow.
CAROLS incentive comes from
its desire to make up for a bad
performance during a 27-7 loss
to st. Johns last Sunday and
the fact that the Catholic
League championship is still un-
decided mathematically. The
Lions can qualify for one corner
Of q three-way tie for the title
by beating Gonzaga tonight and
then roofing home Gonzaga
against st. Johns q week from
Sunday. The fact that Con-
zaga is favored tonight and st.
Johns is the choice In the later
game is Of little consequence In
this heated triangle.
Other features on today's card
line UP like this: Landon puts
its 12-game winning string on
the line against st. Albans, the
other pretender to the Inter-
state Academic Conference
throne. Bladensburg and North
western meet tonight, each try
ing to stay in the running for
the Prince Georges County
championship.
Spingarn can clinch a tie for
the Interhigh Division II title
by beating Phelps. George
Washington is host to q much
weaker Mount Vernon, but a
rivalry is involved. And WASH
ington-Lee travels to Hampton
(Va.) High to meet a team that
has won one game while playing
the toughest in the State.
| Two Of the areas unbeaten,
united clubs try to finish their
seasons that way in two Of to-
morrow'S 10 games.
Montgomery Blair will be
working on its eighth straight
against Bethesda Chevy Chase.
They have been playing football
against each other annually
since 1945-Blair holding a 5-2-2
edge In the series-but their
rivalry dates back to the early
1930s and is one Of the Nveliest
in the vicinity.
George Mason. which has been
up and down this season be-
cause Of injuries. appears at the
top Of its cycle In greeting Lou
doun County High tomorrow.
The Falls Church school pum-
meled Garfield last week, $50,

|1S-Year-0Id Vote Bill
Given Fair Chance Of
Passing This Session
By J. A. OIeory


A constitutional amendment
to lower the voting age from 81
to IS was ready for Senate action
today, but it may be several
weeks before leaders get a
chance to call 1t up.
The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee reported the measure favor
ably yesterday. Z to 3. The COM
mittee acted on the resolution Of
Chairman LANCER, Republican. Of
North Dakota. who sponsored it
last year. President Eisenhower
backed the plan In his January
message. 1t has q fair chance Of
passing this year.
States Rights Challenge.
Some Southern Democrats OPP
pose the constitutional amend
ment on grounds qualifications
Of voters should be left to States
to decide.
I Georgia is the only State that
has lowered the voting age to 1S.
The judiciary Committee also
gave approval yesterday to an
other constitutional amendment
to fix the size and jurisdiction
Of the Supreme Court. It would:
l. Prevent any future court
packing" bill by fixing the num-
Der Of justices at nine.
2. Make Supreme Court JUS
tees ineligible to run for Presi-
dent or Vice President until five
years after they leave the court.
8. Make retirement of Justices
compulsory at the age Of u.s..
4. Deprive Congress Of the
right to restrict the Jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court in any
case involving constitutional
questions.
Butler Is Sponsor.
The Constitution now states
that the appellate Jurisdiction
Of the court is subject to such
exceptions as Congress may
make. Senator Butler. Republic
can. of Maryland. sponsor of the
pending changes. said that in
the construction days following
the Civil War, Congress passed
a bill depriving tho court Of
jurisdiction in a habeas corpus
proceeding on the day before the
court was to rule on the release
of a civilian who had peen ar
rested by military authorities.
The amendment would prevent
Congress from taking similar
action in future.

The. Government called wit

vide storage for special weapons"

WASHING ON

Has Congress and the nation
fairly treated the record 20,731,- :
900 living veterans who have
fought in u S. wars?
In the opinion Of some legis-
lators, yes; but others like Rep.
Edith Nourse Rogers OR. Mass J.,
Chairman of the Veterans At
fairs unit, feel the treatment has
been more like that of a step
child"
The late-session drive to force
a vote on the bill to boost vet
eran benefits by an average 10
per cent brought about a check
on just how much the American
people have paid on their meal
culable debt TO the men who
fought their wars. Using funds
paid into the Federal Treasury
by taxpayers, the Veterans Ad-
ministration and earlier veter-
ans agencies had by the end of
Fiscal 1853 spent $70,357, ,942.337
for such veterans benefits as
compensation and pension pay
ments, insurance, vocational re-
habilitation, education and train
ing, and medical and dental care.
The cost of ten per cent boost
in these services: at least 1921
million in the first year of opera
ton.
The major portion of VA
spending each year is for month
ly compensation and pension
payments to veterans and their
| dependents. About $2.4 billion
was spent in this manner in fis-
| cal 1853.
The bill to boost VA benefits
was favorably reported late in
May by the House Veterans aAf-
fairs Committee, although VA
Administrator H. V. Higley said
he felt enactment would not be
in accord with the program of
the President" The measure
later failed to clear the House
Rules Committee.
The move to force the bill out
of the Rules Committee and onto
the House floor for a vote was
led by Rep. Edmund P. Radwar
| (R. N. W. Radwin said July IA
that move would be made tC
