III was just matter OF putting

Betsy and Morjorie worked to get
it to me-" said the attractive star
who is currently averaging %
points per game.
The s. 8" cage standout is now
playing her third year of varsity
ball for Coach Vince J. Colombo
and has been the offensive stand
out the entire season. Her pre-
vious high effort was 46 points
scored earlier in the season; how
ever, she did not have rosression
of the Williams scoring recorC
until the rs point spree last week.
The previous record was held by
Carolyn Gasque, forward on this
years team, who flipped in ~
points several weeks ago when
teammate Fipps was out of action.
How does a star feel after near
ing the century mark on the score
books?
Il never thought Of breaking any
records" asserted the friendly
eager - then she added, Il GER
tainly never dreamed of scoring
that many points. 1t srill doesn't
seem as if scored that many dur

She wasn't joking-she didn't
know she had broken any records
or was even near to such a SUI
perb performance until one Of the
opponents congratulated her or
the feat.
Right now the popular high
school student is cast in the role
of a celebrity at the Williams
School; however, it won't affect
the team spirit. Shelva Jean says.
My teammates were happier than

many points had been scored"
The reporter had to check the
score books when the star told
him she didn't know how the
points had been scored according
to quarters.

Local dentists are trying to

fists urge parents to give their
children a well-balanced diet,

One of the biggest problems
dentists face is the element Of

Ke|Iand Has Doubts
G.0..P. Could Retain
Control in Vote Now
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 28.-Clar-
ence Burlington Kelland, noted
author and Republican leader,
says if Congressional elections
were held today ''it is exceedingly
doubtful" the Republicans could
keep control of the House and
Senate.
He says the public views the
Eisenhower administration as
static and not dynamic, /" mega
tive instead of positive. and feels
that instead of asserting dra-
matte leadership it has isolated
itself from the fight"
Mr.. Kelland puts a large part
OF the onus' for such views on
some presidential appointees and
advisers.
Sees Cooperation Lacking.
He also accuses some cabinet
members Of refusing to cooper
ate with the President and Re-
publican National Chairman
Leonard Hall on official appoint
.mentS.
Mr.. Kelland, Republican Ma
tional Committeeman from Ari-
iona, sets forth his views in the
February issue of American Mag
azine. He says recent congress
Sional elections show 1.-THE tide
is running against the party in
power" and blames this on dis
content among the G. o. p. rank
and file and a feeling of let
down" by the public generally.
This he traces back to a lack
OF firm partisan approach to
the administrations problems.
There can be no such thing as
q non-partisan President, any
more than there can be a non
6ectarian Pope or Archbishop of
Canterbury" Mr.. Kelland writes.
Learns Hard Way"
The President has been learn
ing the science of politics rapid
ly and eficiently-the hard way"
Mr.. Kelland adds.
He has learned far more rap
idly than have certain of his ap-
pointeeS and advisers"
Mr.. Kelland says Presidential
Adviser Sherman Adams dis
played a talent amounting to
genius for offending party lead
ers in every State in the Union"
concerning polite a / appoint
mentS.
Secretary of Defense Wilson is
inclined to be stubborn to the
point of arrogance" says Mr..
Kelland, adding:
His position seems to be that
1t is beneath his dignity to allow
his hands to be smirched by con-
tact with politics
Mr.. Kelland says the Demo-
cratic Party stayed in power 20
years "because it did not neglect
politics by day or by night" He
adds the Republicans must do
the same if they are to retain
Office.
