Mike Sommer. the George
Washington sophomore halfback
who was d tremendous player in

has been handled 4 bit differ-

when he enrolled at CIV, but
not too much 80. and he wasn't
thrown into the tough situations

Hayes Corrects
Phase Of Protest
On Duke Score

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Oct. lei
(R1. - Coach Woody Hayes,
whose Ohio State team wasI
beaten. 20-l4, by Duke here last
Saturday. has amended his post
game statement In which be-
challenged the validity Of the
Blue Devils first touchdown.
However. he stu thinks his pro-
test was correct.
The Buckeyes were leading. |
40. until Bernie Blaney Of
Duke took q short pass from Bob
Pascal and squirmed over the
goal In the last second Of the
first half. Hayes claimed
Blaney's knees touched the
ground before he got over the
goal.
Hayes said yesterday that pic
lures did not support the state
Iment he made after the game
that an ofiicial called for the
bah to be spotted on the 2-foot|
line and then turned his back
after other oflicials ruled It 81
touchdown.
Chain Handlers Signal
"Three Of my boys told me one
OF the officials had made such 81
call. but It evidently was one Of
the men handling the sidelineI
chain who did 1t. They are not
|ofIicials and have no right toI
make such q call, but ! win say
they were In better position toI
see the play than anyone else.
The Buckeye coach added
"The same pictures show that
Elaney's knees were on the
ground 8 to IL inches outside
the goal Line. and that 1t was not

call but there are plenty oil
them In football"
Hayes said he was not at-l
tempting to take away any OF
Dukes glory. although he said
the last-second touchdown pros
yided the spark for the Blue
Devils great second-han dash
to their fourth victory.
"Ohio State never played al
better first half. he said. But
we were up against Q me team

speaks for itself. q. !"

10 B.-William ~ Mary's bat

he picks his way nicely on

ID fine passer. and there's q sus-
|picion he's the best pass catcher
on the squad. although 50 far
they haven't even had the chance
TO throw q pass at him.
Good on Punt Returns
As 3 punt catcher and at run
ming them back Sommer Is tops.
One little-appreciated skin he
has In that. department Is his
ability To let his blockers clear
the path for him instead Of run
ming blindly all over the place.
BY now the scouting reports
for GW's opponents undoubtedly
have one must line In them:
Don't kick the ball to Sommer.''
This year, though, with SOM
mer In the hackfield there's no
double safety. It's either kick it
out Of bounds, and lose yardage
because Of the angle, or give it
to Sommer. Coach 30 Sherman
Is using the other players as
blockers or rushing the kicker.
and 1t helps spring Sommer loose.
And yet Sommer isn't hogging
the whole picture. The work Isl
being divided very wen In the
CIV backfield. Nike has scored
two Of the 10 touchdowns. as
have three other backs. He's
carried the ball . bit more than
the Others and is the leading ball
carrier, but not 50 much 50 that
1t has turned into d one-manI
show. What it amounts to Is
that Sommer Is Q very bright
sophomore prospect.

Q. 0. P. Seeks to Revive
Plan for Highway Bonds

the Gore plan in a joint con
ference committee.
The big difference between thu
two plans is that the President
proposed to set up a corporation
to sell a S21 billion bond issue
to meet the bulk of the new con-
struction work on the interstate
system, outside of the public
debt.
Senator Gore defended the
Democratic substitute as having
three distinct advantages.
He said if the condition of the
Treasury makes it necessary tc
sell bonds to finance the in
creased highway expenditures
they would be orthodox Govern
ment bonds bearing lower in
terest rates than the testimony
indicated for the proposed high
way corporation bonds.
Senator Gore also pointed out
that the administration would
have applied all of the increased
expenditure to the interstate
system, while the Gore plan in
creases the annual matching al
lotments for primary, secondary
and urban roads as well as the
interstate system.
The Tennessee Senator said
the administration bill would
have abolished the apportion-
ment system on the interstate
highways. His bill retains it
Senator Gore also argued that
neither bill contained any new
sources of revenue to meet the
costs Of the program.
The Public Works Committee
will decide before Senate debate
starts 10 days from now whether
to recommend that the taxing
committees of Congress conside,
one-cent increase in the two
cent Federal gasoline tax to
cover cost of the increased high
way program. Senator Gore said
the committee is divided on this
issue, some members arguing
that Congress passes OF tn Ell
spending programs without in
Guiding the necessary new reve-
nue. to meet them.
Current Plans
Under the existing law, the
Federal Government will put ur
in 1856 $500 million for primary
secondary and urban roads and
only SITS million toward the
Interstate system.
Under the Gore bill the Fed.
eral outlay for primary, sec
ondary and urban roads will &C
up to 5000 million in each OF
the five years. This money will
be matched by the States, So
so.
For the Interstate system the
Federal outlay will jump to ST
billion for 1857 and 60 up grad
ually to a maximum of 50 bill
lion each year in 1860 and 1861
Asked if he thought the
States could meet the matching
requirements of this expanded
program, Senator Gore said his
tory has shown that every time
the Federal program has beer
increased the States have me-
all of the allotments offered tc
them.

Republicans face an uphill
fight in the Senate to revive
the Eisenhower bond-issue high
way plan. which has been side
tracked in the public works
committee.
By a vote of 8 to 5, the COM
mittee yesterday reported out

expanding the regular Federal
aid highway program for the
next five years. One Republican,

shares. along with the States,
in the increased Federal allot-
ments under the Gore substitute
On Matching Basis
For 1857, the first year of the
new plan. the District would get
Sis million. or more than
twice the S5.l million it is due
to receive in 1856 under existing
law.
Since the ALLEGATIONS for the
Interstate system increase gradu-
ally under the Gore bill. the
Districts share for the remain
ing four years would be: For
1858, $13 million: for 1859,
S14.6 million, and for 1860 and
1861. SIT 8 million each year.
For the entire five-year period,
the District would get STAT mil
lion.
To get the STAT million. the
District will have to put UP $31 4
million over the five-year period.
About one third of the Federal
money must be matched $3.50
The remainder is on a 90-10
basis.
SIS Billion Total
The total to be spent by both
the Federal and State govern
nents on matching programs
during the five years of the Gore
plan would be $18 billion.
The Eisenhower program con-
templated a Federal-State out
lay of $38 billion over ten-year
period. But if the Gore plan
should be extended in 1861 for
another five years it would about
equal the administration plan
in total outlay for ten years.
Senator Bush, Republican, of
Connecticut, denounced the Gore
substitute as completely made
quate." He. said it does not pro-
vide any means of financing the
needed highway expansions, and
announced he will file a minority
report asking the Senate to go
back to the Presidents plan.
There is lot of politics in
this bill" said Senator Bush.
The Democrats are trying to
sabotage the President and are
using this bill to do it."

Only the Soviet Failed at Geneva

ern world has refused to yield
and has shown its heart to be
still with the oppressed peo-
Piles. this is but another way Of
spreading apprehension inside
the Kremlin.
For, TO be realistic about it,
the first and second Geneva
conferences have been propa-
ganda victories for the West
Some Of the moves have been
misunderstood on this side Of
the Atlantic. Thus. when Sec
retary of State Dulles an.
nounced purposefully at one
stage that he was full Of "op-
'timisln," he was .naneuvering
to influence Molotov to come
through with something to
justify that hopefulness. It
was one of the calculated risks
OF the diplomatic game and
deserved better from some Of
the observers at the scene who
didn't discern the strategy.
It is no failure" but rather
a success" to put the Rus
slams behind the eight bah and
also to reveal clearly to the
world that the Soviet has Siif-
fered q defeat. Indeed, the
Soviet plan to win trade and
other advantages from the
West without giving in on the
major issues Of German reuni-
fication and independence for
the satellite states has been
rejected.
For the allies, therefore, the
Geneva conferences are a sue
cess" whereas for the Rus.
slams they have been a "fail-
ure."
Since the Russians know
now they can't bluff the allies
into surrender. important
progress has been made. VIII
the Soviet come through with
a different strategy and q plan
to assure peace? There's more
chance of 1t In the next few
months as q result Of the Ge-
neva talks than there has been
heretofore, because the only
way to assure peace is not to
cringe before but to stand
up to the Kremlin and let the
Communist regime know the
truth-that there will be no
compromise with evil.
