Anacostia remains the only
1nterhigh League baseball club
with a spot sewed up for the
playoffs June CT. but Spingarn,
Wilson and Western hold favored
positions for the other three
playoff berths. depending on the
outcome of Fridays windup
games.
AS for Westerns chances,
much seems to depend on the
heavy stick of First Baseman
Dave Smell, whose batting this
season has been the big surprise
of the Raider camp.
Going into yesterdays impor-
tant game with Roosevelt at
Western Stadium, Smell was hit
ting at 500 clip in 30 at-bats.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound senior
knicked Roosevelt's Dem etre
Koutras for single and double
in three tries. drove in two runs
and scored the other two in a
come-from- behind 4-3 Western
victory.
Wilson, Western Still Tied
Elsewhere in the West Division
yesterday Wilson remained tied
with Western for the lead by de-
feating Dunbar, Al, and Cool
idge nipped Bell, 4-3, on Bob
Wondrack's two-run homer in
the sixth inning.
In the East Division, Cham
berlain almost pulled the upset
of the Interhigh season before
succumbing to Anacostia, 80;
Springarn stayed in second place
with 20 decision at Eastern,
and Tech retained a mathemati-
cal chance for a playoff spot by
squeaking past Phelps, 80.
Koutras. who never had
pitched for Roosevelt before this
spring, looked about ready to
notch his fourth straight league
win when he carried 30 lead
into the bottom of the seventh
inning.
With one out. Catcher Warren
jenkins singled to leftfield and
stole second. Smell doubled him
across and went to third on an
inf1eld out and Al Dibbs singled
off koutras' glove to score Smell. |

The Maryland Bi-County
League, which now has resolved
into race for second place, had
these results yesterday: Mont
gomery Blair over Bethesda
Chevy Chase, 10-1: High Point |
over Suitland, 6-3. and Bladens-

Just q year ago-over the same
May 1928 week-it was Cleve-
land that won six straight to
grab the lead from the White
Sox.
The week was also a notable
one for the Yankees because
Yogi Berra emerged from his
slump against Baltimore, bang
ing five home runs in four
games over the week end. Mickey
Mantle has doomed his average
to 1888 in an 1l-game hitting
streak and Eddie Robinson has
filed in admirably for injured
Bill Skowron at first base,
humping 1893 as a replacement.
The clubs will meet in q single

An Impressive Record

The United Mine Workers Welfare
and Retirement Fund, particularly
against the background Of an ailing soft
coal industry, has made an impressive
record In the nine years OF its operation.
More than $3.50 million in pensions, med
ical help and various other benefits have
been paid out by the fund during this
period, and at an administrative cost OF
less than per cent. Benefciaries num-
Der almost one million miners and their
families.
Organized and administered as a
separate entity, independent in these re-
spects from the union and the coal oper-
ators, the fund has been built up entirely
through royalty payments on the tonnage
mined. The original royalty rate OF Ave
cents per ton gradually has been In
creased to 40 cents, and revenues from
this source have totalled about 1882 mil
lion. The fund is the hrst industry-wide
welfare program OF such a broad scope.

GoIIoqher's Guilt

The story of Sergeant Gallaghers
conduct as a North Korean prisoner OF
war-as revealed before general court
martial-was shocking one. It was, In
brief, the story OF his incredibly callous
and inhumane treatment Of three fellow
prisoners, of his unprecedented MUIR
der" Of two of them, and Of fragrant COLI
Alteration with his Communist captors.
He was tried on these charges, found
guilty on all but two Of the several speci-
fications included in the charges, ana
sentenced to dishonorable discharge and
life Imprisonment at hard labor. He has
the right, Of course, to appeal through
military channels and even to challenge
the Army's jurisdiction in Federal court.
Gallaghe-s offenses went far beyond
the problems involved in the recent for
mutation of a code for prisoner-of-war
iconduct. There was no evidence offered
that his was case Of breaking under
Ciuress or torture. His were voluntary
crimes Of brutality, leading to murder,
and Of willing betrayal Of his comrades
for his own advantage. The burden OF
extensive testimony from fellow prison.
ers, witnesses to his behavior, was over
whelmingly against him and there APP
pears no reasonable doubt of his guilt.
In this light, the maximum punishment
as was decreed-is not too severe.

$1,000 Jowbreoker

A 12-year-old girl has just won $4,000
on television for correctly spelling "anti-
Observation-Disclosures" There prob
ably are very few in her age group who
could have equalled her feat, and the
same holds true for adults. For the word,
although 1t has been used in contests for
decades past, is real mouthful, and 1t
sounds so utterly unpoetical and so
awfully dull-in and of itself-that not
many people have ever felt moved to
master 1t. Further than that, even among
those who can spell it, the chances are
that its precise meaning is a mystery.
But there was time when "antidis-
eStablishmentarianism" loomed large In
public debate. What 1t meant then, and
still means (as diligent search of the
dictionary will show, is the political
philosophical Theological position of
those opposed to having country sever
relationships between itself and Its
established church. This Is an oversim-
plifled definition, but it is enough to
indicate why the word looks and sounds
as formidable as 1t does Yet, with all
that. 1t still is fine stickler to inject
into spelling bee or television program,
and 1t probably will continue to compete
well. In that sense, with the new Jaw
breakers now being developed by nuclear
scientists.

Miracle Metal

A staff report Of special Senate
Interior subcommittee refers to titanium
as "the so-called miracle metal" The
reason for the description becomes APP
parent as the report reviews the char
acteristics of the metal and forecasts Its
future role in industry-especially In
national defense. Titanium may be the
key to our maintenance Of air supremacy.
Fortunately, America has plenty Of
titanium ore-just as most other coun-
tries have. Until recent years, however,
refining processes were complicated and
expensive. And the subcommittee stan
found that the Defense Department has
been slow in recognizing the potential
Importance of titanium to military air.
craft production. Most Of the develop
ment work has been done by private in
dustry.
Titanium is a metal resembling steel
In appearance, but having the advantages
Of light weight and noncorrosiveness. It
can be used in place Of steel in airplane
engines and weapons, saving weight that
can be devoted to ammunition, fuel and
personnel. It's high melting point makes
It Of interest to jet-engine manufacturers,
who have been plagued by the deteriorat-
ing effect on steel and alloys Of extremely
high temperatures Of the jet blast. The
majority Of aircraft manufacturers fore
see a vital role for titanium in airplane
development in the supersonic age.
Within the past six months, the
report disclosed, marked advances have
been made in chronological processes for
producing pure titanium in large guam
titles. The prospect, therefore, is that
as the cost of production declines and
more Of the metal becomes available for
research and development, wider use Of
titanium as a strategic material in de-
tense will follow. While the investigating
staff said it found apathy in some official
quarters over the metal, the report at
tributed this more to lack Of information
than lack of interest. The subcommit-
tees suggestion that the Government set

No time should be lost in investigating
and exploiting the possibilities Of this

It seems to me that this at

The first move is more likely
to be war.

Adenouer and Moscow

The Soviet government now has
agreed that Chancellor Adenauer's pro-
jected mission to Moscow should enconl-
pass talks broad enough to include the
issue of Germany'S reunification ana
"other international questions that may
interest both parties" Earlier this month,
it had indicated that the negotiations
would have to be limited strictly to the
subject Of establishing diplomatic, trade
and cultural relations, but its latest note
to Bonn accedes to Bonn's objection
against any such restriction.
As result, DR.. Adenauer-who prob
ably would have declined to make the trip
othefwise--is expected to go to Moscow In
time to begin direct discussions with
the Russians on September 9. However,
although the meeting will allow him TO
engage In ANY exchange Of opinions" on
matters like reuniflcation and the release
Of German prisoners-of-war still held in
the Soviet Union, he viii have reason to
keep his fingers crossed throughout the
proceedings. For the chances are that the
Kremlin, despite its avowed readiness to
listen to his views on numerous questions,
win offer him little or nothing Of SUBJ
stance beyond the establishment Of diplo-
matte, trade and cultural relations.
This seems particularly true as re-
CARDS reunification. In the words Of the
Soviet note, "the position Of the USSR
on this question is known" to DR.. Aden-
auer's West German government, and the
note suggests that the Chancellor viii
not be able to persuade the Russians to
abandon or modify that position. At any
rate, judging from statements In the
Moscow press, the men of the Kremlin
still firmly adhere to the view they ex-
pressed at the Geneva summit" confer
ence. The view Is standpat one. It holds
that the time is not yet ripe to unite par
titioned Germany, and 1t apparently
would delay all action along that line
while DR.. Adenauer remains In ONCE.
Accordingly, 1t will be surprise of
the f1rst magnitude II DR.. Adenauer wins
any reunification concessions during his
Moscow visit Presumably, If there are to
be any such concessions, they will not be
made until the Big Four foreign minis
ters' conference in October--a conference
that viii test whether the Russians are
prepared to act af1rmatively on the prob
lem or whether they propose TO keep on
doing nothing about 1t. II the latter
proves to be the case, what then will be
the meaning Of their amiable new look"?
