Rams Play Shoddy Game.
For three quarters Los Angeles

1t was not until the final quar-

began to play we'll at all.
Van Brocklin led the Rams 81
yards in nine plays, passing to
Bob Boyd for 26 yards and the
first of two touchdowns in the
final period.
Fired up, with less than six
minutes to go, the Rams punched

Fullback Dan fowler smashing

CoIoniaIs Meet Pitf
Friday in Opening
Steel Bowl Tourney

Maryland's basketball team
steps out against Atlantic Coast
Conference competition in its
two home games this week, and
the Terrapins hardly could have
made things tougher on them
selves at the start.
They aren't playing the peren-
NAL champions, North Carolina
States Wolfpack, but they meet
the next best when Duke comes
to College Park Tuesday night
and Wake Forest Friday night.
The other principal action this
week sends George Washington
to the Steel Bowl Tournament
at Pittsburgh where the Colo
malls meet Pitt (9-14 last season.
in the first round Friday night.
The other game there Is between
Duquesne and Fordham.
Terps Beaten by Both.
Both teams playing Maryland
this week beat the Terrapins
last season. Wake Forest won
twice, but despite those defeats
the Terps had their best Won
lost record in history. Duke
topped Bud Millikan's five, g.
81, enroute to leading the new
ACC during the regular season,
while Wake Forest also took care
OF the Terrapins, 71-58, in the
regular season and 1854 in
overtime in the second round Of
the conference tourney.
Among other things Duke did
last year was beat North Caro-
lima State twice during the reg
ular campaign, only to bow to
the Wolfpack in the tournament.
The Blue Devils opened their
program by beating Clemson,
1854, Friday night, and likely
will be favored to make it two
in a row against Maryland Tues
day.
Duke Figures to Be Tough.
Coach Hal Bradley's team GER
talnly figures to be tough again,
with three of last years starters
returning and with plenty of
reserves, one item that helped
nightly last year when other
teams were faltering toward the
lend of games.
Junior Morgan, his 6-foot-7
center. is back. along with Ron
ME Mayer and Joe Belmont, the
latter small but smart and fast.
Coming up are such highly
regarded sophomores as Jack
Kalfbus and Bob Lakata. Around
Durham Kalfbus is regarded as
q, real conner. ...
Coach Millikan had a scout at
the ke-Clemson game. and he
reported that the Blue Devils
look good. Millikan also was fore
warned by Wake Forests 107-86
defeat of George Washington last
week in GW's opener. BY the
time the Deacons arrive. in Col
,lege Park the experts should
;have a fair idea of how things
shape up in the conference this
syear because Wake Forest meets
North Carolina State the same
might the Terps play Duke.
q It already is obvious that
Wake Forest will be one of the
big teams off what it did to the
$Eolonials. The Deacons. Of
course, have Dickie Hemric as
an All-America candidate-he
scored SO points against CIV
plus Lefty Davis who was a
sophomore sensation as scorer
last year and who already has
given indications he's better this
time.

The Meoninq of a Ship

A novel but arresting method for show
ing the impact on the national economy of
the operation of single large American
flag luxury liner has been employed by the
American Export Lines
AS operator of the $25-million sister
ships, the independence and Constitution,
American Export has drawn up balance
sheet" covering 100 transatlantic crossings
of the first of these vessels-during a pc
riod Of three and one-half years. On the
sheet, the gross earnings Of the ship during
that time totaled $40 million. Although
Government subsidy is needed to make op-
Grafton of the ship profitable to the COM
pany, the distribution of the $29 million
for wages supplies, fuel, maintenance, dock
age, brokerage and even travel agency fees
has meant livelihood for thousands Of peo-
pile. In addition, $500 shipyard workers
were employed for 20 months in the con-
struction and an equal number in IS States
were employed in the fabrication of parts.
The Importance of healthy merchant
marine and of our own shipbuilding IA
cilities has been demonstrated to the coun-
try In time of war. A small reminder. by
some such illustration as that involving the
independence, is oflvalue in time OF peace.

This and That .
By Charles E. 7roceweN

To us, all collies are called Rex, just
as to some persons all male cats are
called Tom.
Rex was the name of Justice Har-
lan's beautiful collie of years ago, when
the famous jurist and his dog lived at
Fourteenth and Euclid streets.
Those slower-paced autumns of
yesteryear saw Rex stretched out on
the stone wall that surrounded the
Harlan yard.
Occasionally streetcar would thun-
der by, now and then a wagon drawn
by the universal medium of power in
those days, the horse.
The majestic pose of the dog was
known to all passers-by.
Some of them knew him as Rex,
others thought Of him only as that
dog"
AS we recall Rex, he was not too
friendly, seldom leaving his post on
the wall to come down to receive a pat
from a timid small boy.
Autumn weather draws the years
close together, ties the falls of the gay
'90s to this one of the year 1854.
We are at q time and place where
almost anything can happen. and no
one knows what to do about it.
The world Is just wagging along,
waiting for time to solve the riddle OF
What comes next?"
Evening star., 1954-09-24

Rex, the dog, solved it long ago.
Autumn, in this vicinity. means cool
enough, but not too cool.
It means the heat of summer is def
nitely gone, but not gone far enough
to make us shiver That will come
later.
A writer in the September number
of Scientific American says:
"It has been estimated that II the
average daily temperature on the face
of the earth as whole were suddenly
raised or lowered by only 20 degrees, all
life would perish"
Autumn here is not so mean (no pun
intended. It is cool, but clear, bracing,
making one wish to step out lively.
It is a good time for renewing the
lawn, planting tulips and other bulbs,
reading books one has promised ones
self to read, hearing good music, and
trying to forget about the troubles of
the world.
It is a good time for the indoor man
to go outdoors a little, and for the
sportsman to read his yearly book.
Autumn is the time to come to terms
with ones self.
For heavens sake" says some one.
anxiously, every season is the time for
that!"
Which is undoubtedly true, but
autumn is just little better for it, we
believe. than Esring, summer or winter.

What Price Education?

My heart bleeds for poor Mrs. M.
whose Montgomery County school tax
bill came to all of $156.30, and will
have to shell out $66.48 additional
costs to keep her four, repeat four,
children in school, Mrs. NJ asks
Indignantly what do our taxes cover?"
With four children, Mrs. NJ is paying
less than $40 taxes per child, and at the
rate of 80 children to the classroom
such taxes would pay only 81, 200 of
$500 annual teachers salary, to say
nothing of the cost of erecting and con-
structing a modern school building.
That, in brief, is what her taxes cover.
OF the $66.48 additional costs which
Mrs. M. lists, $34 is shown by her as
covering high school graduation ring
and activity footbalD books. Not even
in the rosy glow of my long-past school
days were such items met by public
taxation.
I would recommend to Mrs. M. that
she obtain catalog of any recognized
private school and see what it costs
in tuition for just one child at private
school, and then get down on her
knees and thank the Almighty that
she gets the bargain that she does in
Montgomery County's public schools.

The Merchants and Manufacturers

We believe that this is an example OF
what can be accomplished through
constructive and cooperative effort on
the part of the parking industry. the
D. c. Motor Vehicle Parking Agency
and Capital Transit Co. We particu-
larly wish to congratulate The Eve
ming Star on its frequent coverage Of
this story and feel that this publicity
did much to increase the use of the lot.
BY providing free parking for the
all-day curb parker, reducing car oper-
ating costs and traffic congestion, more
parking space is made available for
the short-term parker in the central
business district. which attracts more
shoppers, tourists and others down.
town on business visits.
It is our understanding that addi-
tional fringe parking lots could be
established at such locations as the
Industrial Home, Soldiers Home and
the Carter Barron Amphitheater If
public demand so dictates, and that
these three lots could accommodate
almost 5000 cars, many of which
would be all-day curb parkers. We
believe that a successful operation at
the present fringe lot will pave the
way for the establishment of new lots.
Our association is advising all of
the employees of ow member firms of
the advantages of the present fringe

ployes who are all-day curb parkers
to use the free lot We believe it is
of great value to our city and are
very pleased with it's possibilities.

The President on Power

President Eisenhower has reStated IN
simple and persuasive terms, in his address
dedicating the McNary Dam, the philoso-
ply Of his administration with regard to
development of electric power from the
Nations water resources It is philosophy
that has been expressed before by the Pres
ident in briefer treatment Of the subject
and in certain of the actions taken by his
administration. It was expressed at some
length in policy statement issued by the
Department of Interior in August Of 1858.
It is, in brief, that the Federal Govern
ment should not become monopoly instru-
ment in the field of hydroelectric power
production and distribution, but should
function more as big and powerful part
ner of local public agencies and private
enterprise. To dramatize his own concept
of this role, the President quoted the fol-
lowing words of Abraham Lincoln:
The legitimate object of government is to do
for community of people whatever they need to
have done, but cannot do at ALL or cannot so well
do for themselves-in their individual capacities
In his address at McNary Dam, Presi-
dent Eisenhower not only laid great stress
on the danger of Federal monopoly and a
centralized government control which might
turn whole areas into satellites" depend
ent upon the largesse Of Congress and the
vagaries of political decisions in Washing
ton; he emphasized also that public pro-
lection, where development Is sought
through local agencies or private enterprise,
is attainable through the Federal Power
Commission and other regulatory bodies.
And, as he has done before, the President
gave assurances again that his administra-
ton will avoid extremes-that it will not
apply policy of withdrawing completely
from the field of power development or of
federalizing all such undertakings.
The power issue is an explosive one po-
litically and the President knows, of course,
that his philosophy will be attacked often in
the congressional campaign now under way.
He has here, as in so many other issues,
taken what appears to be middle way
position, but it Is one that he voices with
conviction and on which he has been thor
oughly consistent. There has been no
showing yet to support the loud cries of
his critics in this field.

Relux, Ludies

read in the paper where very
learned doctor said that cigarettes and
coffee breaks" were giving ulcers to
American ladies.
I think this is ridiculous. What gives
ulcers to the ladies in the United States
and gentlemen too-is not the coffee
break. It is hurry, hurry, hurry and
worry, worry, worry.
In my city of Port Limon, Costa Rica.
life is one long coffee break. Everybody
drinks coffee from the time of waking to
the time of going to sleep-and nobody
has ulcers. That is because in Port
Limon we seldom worry, worry worry
and never under any circumstances do
we hurry, hurry, hurry.
What the American ladies need to do
is to learn to relax when they take
the coffee break. Maybe here in the
United States it is not possible to relax
as completely as we do in Port Limon
where time is something to be savored
oslowly-but if the ladies will sit back
and enjoy drinking their coffee without
haste they will feel better. And, as in
Port Limon, there'n be none of the
ulcers that come from hurry-worry.

On War and Peace

A recent Star editorial, entitled "On
War and Peace" supported the PreSi-
dents stand against breaking diplo-
matically with Russia and against
preventive war. The editorial stated:
President Eisenhower has spoken OUT
eloquently and unequivocally to re-
affirm that the United States still
stands where it has always stood in
relation to the great problem of war
and peace. Our country remains
today essentially what it has been in
all its yesterdays, a country dedicated
in principle and practice, historically,
traditionally, morally, to the task of
promoting decent peace for itself and
the rest Of the world"
What course of foreign policy has
our country pursued to attain this
elusive decent peace? A course based
on argument and pursuasion, a course
blind to the fact that the races and
nations of this earth are still in no
stage of development to justify re-
lance upon such means. At present
as in the past it is power that de-
termines action on vital issues. In
other words, our foreign policy is not
based on realism, it is based on ideal
ism. This fact was clearly, specifically
pointed out three years ago in ma
tional magazine article by the State
Departments George Kennan. Entitled
''The Perils of Idealism," here are its
opening and closing paragraphs:
1.-THE main trouble with the United
States foreign policy in the last half
century is that it has too seldom been
guided by self-interest, too often
by impractical idealism. Ever since
the United States blundered into
global responsibilities in the Spanish
American War it's tendency has been
to live in a dreamy haze, preaching
moral principles but neglecting to keep
