NIL Meeting 10 Discuss

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 23.-
Commissioner Bert Bell has sum-
moned members of the National
Football League Executive Com
mittee to a special meeting in
New York Monday to discuss
the dispute with the Canadian
League over player contracts
and to consider a 1855 NIL
schedule.
The meeting will be held at
the Hotel Warwick. The Execu-
tive Committee is composed of
one representative of each Of
the IL member clubs.
The discussion of relations
with the Canadians is at the re-

as to where to hold such events,

Ritchie Coliseum. which holds

This and That

bearded man, much resembling ones
mental pictures Of a prophet OF
Israel.
He not only preached, but wrote
many books, including poetry. novels,
sermons and juvenile works.
He was born in Scotland in 1924.
and died in 1905. His deep religious
feeling and devotion to lofty ideals OF
life were typically Victorian, but his
work was really far ahead of his
age.
The revival, therefore, of his two
dream novels, "Lilith" and "Phan-
tastes" by MONDAY, has been an event
for all who love good writing.
Published in one volume under the
title of 1.-THE Visionary Novels OF
George Macdonald" these two stories
rate today as fantastic fiction, and
make the reader realize that the 10th
century was quite up-to-date in its way.
We are so used to thinking OF the
great elder poets and novelistS as old
fogies, even fuddy-duddies, that it
comes as a surprise to find them even
ahead of US!
Yet Macdonald told his dream stories
so well, and so truthfully, that Sig
mund Freud would have found them
fascinating.
Discoveries in recent years have made
these two stories amazingly modern,
and they can be recommended to any
adult. They are not children's books.

Really No Dog Hoter

Dog owners have so much sentimen-
tality that they will not hear a sober
argument. E. D. Mccain accused me
of distorting figures on rabies. He said
there were just II deaths from rabies
in 1858. Granted. 1 said that hun
dreds of Chicagoans "had to take anti
rabies injections Some Chicago chill
dren died of rabies" Does Mr.. Mccain
realize that if parent cannot To-
cate and observe the dog which bit
his child, he must put the child
through the painful Pasteur treat
ment? And dog owners are quick to
whisk their dogs away from the scene
of nipping. They'd rather let child
suffer than to have a dog confined and
observed for a few days.

cused me of being dog hater. Moth

Macdonald was best known In his
own day as Scottish novelist.
These volumes ranged from David
Eiginbrod" in 1862 to castle War
lock-" published in 1882.
Others were ALEC Forbes of How
glen," 1865; Annals of Quiet Neigh
borhood," 1866; Robert Falconer."
1868, his best-seller; "The Miracle Of
Our Lord" 1870; Malcolm" 1875;
"The Marquis of Lossie." 1877. and
"Sir Gibbie." 1877.
He was a great friend Of all the
other bearded men who made the Vic
torian reign so famous.
The amazing thing about his work
is the sentence structure. A literary
work is not miracle, but the result Of
hard work, and in this work sentences
are the bricks of building. No one
who cannot write a good sentence can
write a good anything else. Words are
not the bricks, but the cells of writing.
It is the good sentence that is king OF
ALL George Macdonald wrote in a
way that would have pleased Heming-
way. He is old now. as years go, but
amazingly modern, as shown by the
fact that mothers still read him to
their children. His youth is eternal
because he wrote well. 1t is one Of
the glories of our day and age that
we do not let good works stay forgot
ten, but revive them to the benefit OF
mankind. All is not lost, despite our
bombs, as long as we can do that.

The breakdown on

The breakdown on after-hours bottle
clubs in Prince Georges County deserves
public support. The adjacent Maryland
county was not seriously bothered by such
drinking joints until Washington outlawed
them and drove them out Of business. The
Prince Georges Board Of Commissioners
sought to bar their entry in the county by
adopting an ordinance against them, but
this move was tied up by litigation, some of
which still is pending.
Meanwhile, the new States Attorney,
Blair H. Smith, in fulhllment of a campaign
pledge, has launched a drive to close the
notorious clubs by invoking an obscure pro-
vision of a State licensing law controlling
operation of restaurants. The section for
bids consumption of alcoholic beverages in
a licensed restaurant between 2 and am.
Two raids have been conducted on one of
the county's well-known drinking places by
county police, acting under the direction of
States Attorney. Washington banned such
establishments on the ground that they
were largely hangoutS for hoodlums and
other troublesome characters. If Mary
lands present licensing laws are inadequate
to deal effectively with the bottle clubs,
whether classified as restaurants or not,
the General Assembly now in session ought
to consider the problem.

Egypt's Position

A substantial measure Of clarif1cation
of Egypts position in world affairs, and OF
it's domestic economic aspirations under the
present Revolutionary Council government,
has been provided by Ambassador Ahmed
Hussein in a recent address to the National
Foreign Relations Commission of the Amer
ican Legion.
On the first issue, DR.. HusSein was un-
equivocal in stating that his country rs
natural ally of Western free nations" To
support this claim of natural" relationship
he pointed, incidentally, to the fact that
Egypt's own culture is founded on the Greco
Roman and Judaeo-C Christian -ISlamic civil
lizations that are basically democratic IN
character, and to the further fact that
nation believing in God automatically Is
opposed to the Communist doctrines OF athe-
ism. That there is seeming paradox be-
tween these fundamental facts and some
of Egypt's dealings with the West he ac-
knoWledged, but with the Understandable
explanation that his country'S modern ex-
perience with Turkish, French and British
colonialism has been an unhappy chapter
in Egypt'S history. 1t is point that hardly
could be disputed successfully.
OF the present and the future, however,
the Ambassador was unqualified IN asserting
that Egypt Is not setting up standard OF
neutralism-which he said would be "Self-
defeating"-and that there will be "ample
logical grounds" for constructive coopera-
ton. "We realize" he added, that we must
share in the responsibilities of maintaining
peace in our region"
The internal political and economic
problems were reviewed by the Ambassador
at some length-including progress on the
land reform and industrial development
programs of the present government. Both
of these are we'll beyond the blueprint"
stage. as has been reliably reported by corre-
spondents and other visitors to Egypt during
the past year. And not the least significant
in this unfolding attitude of the Cairo gov
ernment have been the legislative changes
by which foreign private investment capital
has been encouraged through tax conces-
sions, freedom from restrictions on manage
ment and guarantees that profits and cap
ital can be taken out of the country.
The simple statement of these points
of view does not of course, resolve all the
questions about Egypts plans and policies.
The continuing tension with Israel and the
smoldering rivalry between Egypt and Iraq
over dominance in the Arab community are
disQuieting factors. DR.. HuSSein has, in
effect, looked beyond these disturbances to
spot the long-term and fundamental reasons
for believing that his country and the West
have much In common and that their paths
will be joined.

Snow Tire Technically

A recent article in The Star relative
to snow tires versus standard tires is
the potential material needed to create
the worst traffic snarl in American his
tory.
The article concerned the arrest Of
Albert w. Carson, driving on the new
Washington Baltimore highway. who
claimed his speedometer registered As
m.p.h., and the officer claimed so m.p.h.
The AAA made statement that due to
Carson's use of snow tires, and their
larger diameter than standard tires. his
speedometer read slower than his actual
speed. Now, Just little mental cal
culation will show how terribly wrong
that statement is For example: The
car is factory equipped, with 30-inch
tire, and the speedometer registered IS
m.ph. To increase car speed to so
m.p.h. requires an increase of rear tire
size of 1913 per cent, or 10 inches larger
diameter. 1t is not necessary to figure
further to realize that such tire. even
If manufactured, could not be put on
pleasure car. A tire of such size would
require major alterations to both body
and tenders.
The main point, however, IN the mis-
leading statement is that should the
average law-abiding motorist. who has
his car equipped with snow tires. cut
down his speed well below city speed
limits to compensate for the story's
figures. it would foul up the timing Of
every series of traffic lights on our main
highways to a chaotic degree during
and for long time after each peak
traffic load period of the day.
I am very much surprised that our
Director of Traffic or the head of the
Police Department Traffic Bureau has
not corrected you. Also think the
AAA could do better
Ralph F. Thompson.
Editors note: The AAA statement.
which The Star only partially quoted,
first called attention to the fact that
Mr.. Carson's speedometer had been
tested and found 8 miles per hour slow.
The snow tires were blamed to some
extent, but not entirely. for the addi-
tional seven-mile- -per-hour discrep-
ancy)
