Fort Belvoir gave a birthday
party yesterday to celebrate the
18Oth anniversary of the Army
and of the Engineer Corps.
There were several highlights
One, with implications deeply
significant to cities Swamped by
the problem of treating growing
floods of sewage, was the dis
closure that the Engineer Corps
Center is experimenting with the
possibility of using the radioac-
tive "ashes" from atomic power
plants to decontaminate water
supplies and even sewage.
Another was a spectacular
open-air drama in which some
800 troops staged a simulated
combat assault across Dogue
Greek near its junction with the
Potomac River.
The assault was marked by
ARTILLERY fire" which sent
spumes Of water towering more
than 100 feet into the air and
the flash and bang of which
rocked some 500 spectators in a
grandstand on the east shore of
the creek.
Verges on Realism
Through all this. the En-
gineers ferried infantry. tanks,
jeeps and bulldozers across the
creek and rushed two foot
bridges from one shore to the
other. Meanwhile, casualties"
dropped on both banks and a

Honored guests for the day
were the District Commissioners
and other Washingtonians, who
have helped provide recreation
programs for men and women
from Fort Belvoir.
Their host was the installa-
Ition's commanding general, Maj
Gen. Louis w. Prentiss, former
Engineer Commissioner for the
District.

Slash For Season
BY FRANK Eek
AP NeWsfeatures Sport Editor

BROOKLYN, N. Y. - If Jack
Robinson, baseball's most contro-
versial player, hopes to serve his
tenth season in the major leagues
next year he will have to take a
big pay slash.
That's the word from the front
office of the world champion
Brooklyn Dodgers.
I'm on his (Robinson's) side
but he knows how / feel" says
E. j. (Buzzie) Bavasi, Dodger
vice president who signs players
to contracts.
He'll have to take cut. He's
got to remember he had a poor
season. He will get contract
deserving of a .256 hitter. Isn't
that what he hit?
I'm fed up with his popping
off. He tells newspapermen he's
coming in to see me about this
and that. Well, why doesn't he
come to see me before he pops
off"
The day after the Dodgers won
their first World Series by beat
ing the Yankees in the seventh
and deciding game, Robinson said:
I'm in a position where / don't
have to accept a cut or rely on
baseball. l can't see myself ac-
cepting a big salary slash"
We'll" Bavasi replies, "if he's
got such good outside offers he
better take them"
Robinson repeatedly received
S31500 for 1855, a slight cut over
his previous years salary. II
Brooklyn expects to cut Robby
the full 25 per cent allowed under
baseball law he would be playing
for about $4,000 in 1956-if he
plays.
Robinson, the fleet-foote e 6
athlete from UCLA who broke
through the big league color bar
rier in 1947, has said if Brooklyn
traded him he would play only
for the New York Giants or quit
Washington M ager Chucl
Dresser has said he would like
Robinson for the Senators and al
one time this year it was reported
that the Philadelphia Phillie:

that Robby will not be traded.

his numerous squabbles. He ha

over second place Milwaukee.
PLAY me or trade me-" Robby
said in the spring when Aston
tried to learn whether Don Zimmer
or Don Hoax could do the job at
third base.
This ultimatum brought out
Alston's only public censorship of
Robinson. The pilot replied to the
outburst by saying that Robby
had no business gripping to the
writer's travelling with the team
instead of first complaining to
his manager.
But Robby, once called '"Ty
Cobb in technicolor" by the late
Bojangles Robinson, has been
hobbled with injuries to his legs
and knees. A check of 1855 rec
ords show that Robinson never
started more than IL games in
succession. He did that twice.
Last winter he said that Brook
Iyn could not afford to trade
him and that he expected to have
a big year in 1855. He said he
felt as though he had two more
seasons in his system. He also
said 1855 would be his last year
if bothered by injuries.
Last March at Vero Beach, Fla,
when Alston, who is not one to
alibi, was asked to pinpoint the
various shortcoming on why the
Dodgers finished second in 1854,
said:
1--WE expected more from Don
New wcombe. Roy Campanella's
hand injury hurt us and so did
Johnny Podres' appendectomy
operation. Jack Robinson hit 81
but is wasn't team effort.
Aston wasn't criticiizng Robin
son, just stating facts. Robby had
accounted for 1872 runs in 1853
and only 1O6 in 1854. He was be-
ginning to show the wear of his
years as a great athlete. It was
the first time since he crashed
organized ball with Montreal in
1916 that he failed to play less
than 124 games. He got in los in
1854 and this year again played
in 105 but accounted for only 79
runs. Robby will be 81 on Jan.
81.
Robinson still is creased light
ming on the bases but he has not
been able to play for protracted
period, as witness the fact that
he asked Aston to relieve him be-
cause of heel trouble after the
sixth Series game.
The Dodgers feel it was a great
team effort by Robby. Some of
them feel it came too late.

Rinse off external sand by hos ing or washing under water tap. Place clans in cold water to which salt has been added in the proportion of three ounces (about 4 tablespoons to each gallon of water. Allow to stand for about an hour so the clans will clean themselves of most of the sand held within the body. Open or shuck as follows in order of pre- ference: (a) Shuck raw, saving liquor (b) Steam open; subject to live steam until majority of shells open Co Immerse in boil ing water for two to three minu- tes to open shells.
 Wash clans well under run ming water, having slit the neck and digger lengthwise to remove dirt, sand or foreign material and stomach contents. Drain off eK- cess water

 Pack body, whole or minced, in glass freezing jars, waxed tubs or polyethlene lined cartons. Cover with clam liquor. A salt solution (one level tablespoon to a quart of water) may be substi tuted for the clam liquor.
