Tatum was a man with heavy
matters on his mind-Monday's
Orange Bowl game with Okla

Maryland pre-practice questions
were directed yesterday to one
Of his aides, Tommy Mont. The
backfield coach was watching
the punting teams work out and
telling the receivers to call for
q fair catch on every other kick.
Tommy was asked what was
the difference. for instance. in
the days workout and a COM
parable practice day before the
Terps played UCLA, Baylor,
Clemson, Louisiana State or
other major opponents.
The big difference is that
we're playing perfectionists. !"
Tom replied, and by that he
meant no diSrespect to past
opponents.
I'VE know that every Okla
hon1a player knows his assign
ment to perfection" Mont ex-
planned. Everything they do,
they do well. They have more
good backs than anybody we've
played, more good ends, more
reaction. more speed and more
agility"
"What'team you've played re-
sembles them moSt?" the Mary
land aide was asked. Offhand he
couldn't think of any team on

and it was we'll into the second
half before the Colonials showed
they were going to win.
1 The Colonials had a 1924
halftime lead, but the Frankies
tied it at 44-44, broken by two
foul shots from GW's Joe Petca-

Holup getting the field goal that
put the Colonials ahead to stay.
| Holup, triple teamed by the
middle Of st. Francis zone. was
limited to 10 points but still was
high for the game. Little George
Klein's 10 points helped make
THE difference in GW's favor. It
was the highest production of the
season for this 5-foot-10 guard,
who seldom shoots but who had
to do so from outside last night
in an effort to loosen up the
Frankies' zone.

'FaII-0ut' Identified
As Powdered Milk
BY the Associated Press

HORSEHEADS, N. Y, Feb. "a.
The filmy gray stuff that
draped homes and shrubs in this
Western New York village over
the week end was called a little
Of everything-fuzz, cotton fiber
cobwebs and even radioactive.
But a scientist last night ended
the mystery. He identified it as
powdered milk-and no more ra-
dioactive than the air you
breathe.
John B. Diffenderfer, manager
of the chemistry section at the
Westinghouse Electronic Tube
Division plant here. said tests
showed. the fibrous substance
came from nearby dairy pro-
cessing plant that made pow
dered milk. He said it was only
slightly radioactive, no more SO
than the air itself.
But in Rochester, about 100
miles north, the air was yielding
what Eastman Kodak Co. SCI
entists called radioactive "hot
dust" from the atomic proving
grounds in Nevada.
Eastman said the dust, detect
ed Monday, was not radioactive
to the point Of endangering pub
lie health. nor would it interfere
with film making as it did during
atomic tests in 1945.

U. 5. Aid Not Needed
For Building Schools,
Study Group Reports
BY the A,soeioisd Press

A presidential commission has
before it today a report declar-
ing Federal aid sis not neces-
sary" for the construction of
new schools.
The report came to President
Eisenhower's Commission on In
tergovernmental Relations as
some members of Congress were
accusing the administration Of
being too stingy in its school,
building program.
Urges u. S. Withdrawal.
Prepared by a commission
study group, the report recon-
mended that the Government
gradually withdraw from the
school lunch program. sharply
curtail its aid to vocational edu-
cation and stay clear of assist
ance to community libraries.
1t said Federal aid is not nee
essary for either current operat-
ing expenses for public schools
or for capital expenditures for
new school facilities" The States
can afford to spend more of their
own money, it added.
Mr.. Eisenhower has presented
a program designed to stimulate
the spending of 81 billion in the
next three years to reduce an
estimated shortage of more than
100000 clasSrooms. The Federal
share of $1,120, 100000 would be
used mainly to enable the States
to issue more construction bonds.
About 5000 million would be al
lotted directly to needy school
districts.
Stirs New Controversy.
How much the Government
should lay out stirred new con-
troversy today at a session of the
House Education and Labor Com
mittee. Representative Bailey,
Democrat. of West Virginia, who
has termed Mr.. Eisenhower's plan
wholly Inadequate" suggested
getting to work at once on a
school bill. But Representative
Gwinn, Republican, of New York
opposed any Federal aid program
and Chairman Barden said he
was thinking of calling hearings
next week to start a full inquiry.
DR.. Adam S. Bennion, Salt
Lake City businessman and edu-
Gator, headed the subcommittee
which reviewed school aid for
the Intergovernmental Relations
Commission.
A qualified informant said
opinion was about evenly divided
when the full commission dis
cussed the school aid study last
month.
The Bennion group said a
grossly inadequate school plant"
now exists in the United States,
but asserted: I'VE have been
unable to find State which
cannot afford to make more
money available"

Jail terms for charges such as
robbery, soliciting for prostitu-

Judge Cockrill decided that
looking at your record I cannot
say it looks very hopeful for the
child. I think, however, that

A 3-year-old boy, under hos
pital treatment for acute malnu-
triton for the fourth time, was
committed to the custody of the
Welfare Department in Juvenile
Court yesterday after his mother
declared he was too much trou-
Bile to bother with.
The child, whose father is a
dope addict now serving five
years for housebreaking, was SO
sick yesterday that he barely
whimpered as a social worker
carried him up to Judge Edith H
Cockrill and told her that Dis
trict General Hospital authori-
ties say he could not survive if
he were returned home again.
The father, brought back from
jail, told the jurist he would like
to take care of the boy when he
gets out Of jail next year.
The mother, who seemed al
most bored with the proceeding.
declared only that "he has been
so much trouble and ! have all /
can do to take care of my other
three children.
"All / can say" added the
mother, "is that can't give him
the love and the care he needs.
I just can't bring myself to take
care of him like I do my other
children. He is too much re-
sponsibility."
"And I just can't understand
how a mother can say such a
thing about her child" Judge
Cockrill lashed back.

FEC Starts HEARINGS
On Revising Special
Channels for Radio
BY the Assoeicted Press

The Federal Communications
Commission today came to grips
with one of it's toughest prob
lems-how to satisfy the ever
growing demands for special in
dustrial radio services.
More than so individual COM
panies and organizations put in
requests to be heard today and
tomorrow on a revision of rules
governing special service.
Industrial users are now using
all the channels assigned to
them and, in their quest for
more, are trying to cut in on
the four mobile radio frequen-
cies now available to newspapers
and motion pictures.
Publishers Taking Part.
Because of this, the American
Newspapers Publishers Associa-
tion was given permission to
take part in the proceeding.
Since 1949 press radio has had
the status of an independent,
separately recognized service
(press relay. It has been as
signed four frequencies in the
173 megacycle band very high
frequency - 173.255, 173.275,
173.325 and 173.375 - to be
shared with motion pictures.
Early in 1854 the commission
proposed to take away frequency
173.375 from the exclusive use
of newspapers and motion pic
lures and to allow special in
dustrial services to share it
with them.
When the publishers associa-
tion objected, the commission
dropped the plan, but said that
IF a service fails fully to utilize
a desirable frequency, demands
for its reallocation to other serv-
ices can be expected to arise"
Thirty-two newspapers now
have FEC licenses to operate
mobile radio.
