NEW ORLEANS = A-compre
hensive program covering every
phase of Jewish activity on the
American scene was adopted here
as the 62-year-old National Council
of Jewish Women ended its five.
day biennial convention.
Mrs. Noise S. Calm of New Or
leans was elected to a two-yeal
term as Council president, sue
ceeding Mrs. Irving NJ Engel Of
New York. A 1856 budget yoi
$706, $50 was adopted for activities
on the national level.
The final day brought a reSolu.
ton asking the government to sus-
pend arms shipments to the Mid
die East pending peace settle
ment between Israel and the Arab
countries, and to exert pressure
for this settlement through direct
negotiations and United Nations
assistance.
This was urged "in the interest
of stability and progress in the
area which is of such vital strate-
gic interest to the United States
and the free world"
Aid Asked
The delegates also appealed for
Continued economic and techni-
cal assistance to Israel and the
Arab peoples, so as to raise living
standards, facilitate the resettle-
ment of refugees and help foster
and strengthen democratic inStitu-
TONS"
The United Nations, they de-
clared, should concern itself with
the total program of peace rather
than with piecemeal consideration
of individual Incidents"
Since peace is not yet estab-
liShed, the Council women held,
the decision of the United States
to furnish military aid and arms to
any Middle Eastern state which is
technically, if not actually, at war
with another state in the Middle
East, must necessarily add to an
already explosive situation
Loyalty Setup Hit
In another action, the convention
noted that "unjustified public dis
grace and economic hardship to
are being caused by the
workings of the federal loyalty sys-
tenn mong government en-
ployees.
The delegates, in resolution,
made plea for recognition on the
part of the government "that every
government employee is entitled
to the full protection of his con-
stitutional guarantees and liber-
ties" They called on the admins
tration to "act speedily" to estab-
lish "a committee of impartial
and eminent citizens" to investi-
gate conditions under the security
system and recommend changes.

MIAMI. Dec. 2s. = Football
coaches have a way of knowing
whether a team is ready for a
crucial game, and they have
their own time for decision. The
deadline for the Maryland squad
was the two practices Of yester-
day.
II the Terps were ready for
Mondays Orange Bowl game
with Oklahoma. Jim Tatum and
his staff felt they would discover
that intangible factor in the
heavy mid-week workouts.
If the team passed the Wednes-
day test, the work would be
Ilessened for the rest Of the
week. II it failed. Tatum and
his aides would have to pull out
all the stops.
| The pleasant news received on
a cool. rainy evening. which Mi
iamians blamed on winds from
the North, was that the Terps
are as ready as they can be.
They've reached the peak. the
toughest work is over without
any serious injuries. They're
ready.
Co-Captains Agree
This not only was the official
word from Tatum and his assist
ants but from two players who
rate a tremendous hand If the
ITerps smash Oklahoma's 29-
game winning streak. They're
the Maryland co-captains. Bob
Pellegrini and Ed vereb. Tatum
places great Importance In the
selection of co-captains and
never in his years at Maryland
have two players contributed
mere.
The Wednesday practices were
so important that there actually
was tension. Tommy Mont, the
backfield coach. was among those
who had refused to be pinned
down about the Terps' chances
until I see what happens on
wednesday" Mont said the team
passed.
The steady, cold rain started
about the middle Of the after
noon workout. but the only inter-
Eruption was for the coaches to
call for hooded sweat shirts to
pull over their T-shirts.
Full-Blast Workout
A dozen or more reporters,
most of them from Miami after
the ban on their attendance at
practice had been lifted. and a
few Terrapin Club members were
lin the stands. They moved into
the baseball dugout as the rain
Increased.
The matchmaking on the
Miami Stadium turf went full
blast. A B-squad player was
taken to the dressing room for
decorations. Dick Bittner, q No.
IL tackle, was led of with a rib

cused when he twisted his leg.

and Guard George Kolarac was
treated when he was smacked in
the mouth in a bit Of vicious line
play.
Tatum appraising the injuries
later. said the team had been
fortunate to date. He undoubted-
" was thinking back to two years
ago. when Bernie Faloney's bad
leg dominated the pre-game
news.
The rain increased but the
tempo of the practice continued.
The players were dirty, muddy
and bedraggled but they hit hard.
A visiting reporter remarked to
Tatum that there was not much
holler.
This team is a group Of doors,
not takers" Tatum told him.
Another visitor told OF the
Syracuse workouts OF three years
ago. He was saying the Syracuse
players were dressed daily in

They have been with me a long

Then Casey reconsidered and
said:
"Of course, If Rizzuto could
better himself, I wouldn't stand
in his way"
The Yankee manager was
wearing a green velvet Tyrolean

He said the trip. which began

Stengel said he would pay an
afternoon visit to George Weiss,
Yankee general manager, with

Il don't know how much trade
talk Mr.. Weiss already has done. "
Stengel said. "I'll find out this
afternoon"
The Yankee pilot was ques-
toned about a reported pending
deal with the Washington Sena-
tors in which the Yankees might
give up a handful of young play
ers for the veteran lefthanded
pitcher. Maury McDermott.
II don't know about that, ="
Stengel said. "McDermott pitched
for Boston and ] don't think
Boston would let q good pitcher

During q stopover in Paris,
Stengel had indicated he wasn't
greatly interested in McDermott
