Redskins Expecting
Task Of Signing Men
To Become Tougher
By Lewis r. Atchison

The Redskins have landed the
big one in signing Quarterback
Ralph Guglielmi of Notre Dame.
| their No. / draft choice. But
getting the lesser lights on the
line may develop into a major
headache for Coach Joe Ku-
harich.
! The Redskins have signed five
of their 20 draftees. along with
IA holdovers from the 1854 squad.
But from here in the enrolment
will be slower and more difficult.
Kuharich said today that he has
set April l as the deadline for
getting everybody signed. al
though he feels that there will
be some exceptions.
Canadian teams are giving the
Redskins and other National
Football League teams serious
competition for their high draft
choices, Kuharich said. The Do
minion pros are using their
United States brethren for scouts,
no less.
"They probably had less infor-
nation on the players than we
did" Joe pointed out, 80 when
we take a boy rather high they
go after him. They probably
figure what's good enough for us
| is good enough for them"
Concentrate ON Top Men.
The Canadians have concen-
trated on the first five or six
choices of each of the II Ma
tional Football League teams,
Kuharich said. And he comedies
that the law of averages will help
the opposition get three or four
men out of the 80 draftees, al
though not necessarily high
ranking players.
/ Kuharich said he will use the
telephone and mail to deal with
the remaining players not under
contract. He doubts if any more
will come here. as Guglielmi did
! yesterday, for signing ceremonies.
Joe would like to have more like
Google and Julius Tucker, his
unpaid financial advisor, who
were easy to do business with.
Ralph wanted to play pro
football-he had a definite goal, "
Kuharich said, land Tucker
knew what they wanted, so it
wasn't hard for us to get to-
gether. Some of the others are
getting advice from four or five
different angles-their coaches,
old pros, friends and parents.
They're told not to accept our
first offer, not to sell themselves
too cheaply and that if they
hesitate we'll come up a little
bit on our offer.
Rules Out Auctions.
"But we're not doing business
that way" Joe continued. We've
made fair and equitable offers
to all these boys and that's it.
Well give them what we think
they're worth to us, and we're
not going to get involved in an
auction"
! Canadian teams are hot after
Ray Perkins, lefthanded passing
halfback from Syracuse who was
the Redskins third choice, and
Don Bailey, Penn State quarter
back and star of the East West
game, who was selected 18th.
The Washington eleven thinks
it has good chance of getting
Perkins, but not much hope of
landing Bailey.
Kuharich believes that the
picture will be clarified within
the next few weeks and he is
confident that the team will get
most of the rockies it wants,
along with such veterans as La
Vern Torgeson from the Detroit
Lions and Norb Hecker, former
Los Angeles Rams end, both OBJ
tained in trades.

Mrs. Keen led the jack Of
diamonds and the queen in the
closed hand won. Masters
paused to count-up his winners.
In straight leads he had three
diamond tricks. two hearts. one
club and one spade. He was
two tricks short of game.
An additional spade trick
might be developed, especially
if the defenders led that suit
or failed to defend properly.
Also another heart trick was
possible if the opposing hearts
were divided 3-3. If Mr.. Abel
held specifically the queen dou-
bleton of hearts, four tricks
would be available in that suit.
That was asking for a lot OF
luck and Mr.. Masters decided
he would be better off to let
the opponents break the major
suits. He eelcted to go after
the clubs.
Note particularly that he did
not have to bring the club suit
in with the loss of only one
trick. He was perfectly willing
to lose two tricks in the suit
but he could not afford to lose
three.
Now if the adverse clubs were
divided 80, even Mr.. Muzzy
could have got off with two
losers. 1t was to guard against
a holding of four clubs in either
opponents hand that Mr.. Mas
tiers played as he did.
He led a small club and won
with dummy's ace. Then he
returned to his hand with a
small heart to the ace and led
another low club toward dunn
rny's ten.
Mrs. Keen won with the jack
and fired another diamond. The
king in the closed hand won
this and now the ten of clubs
was available to drive out Mrs.
Keen's king, leaving Mr.. Mas
tiers with two good clubs in his
hand.
1t is true that on this hand
q low club lead on the first
round. finessing dummy's ten,
will also win three tricks in the
suit. But suppose Mr.. Abel's
singleton club had been the jack
instead of the four. In that
case it would have taken a
wizard to prevent the defenders
from winning three clubs.
Try arranging the adverse
clubs any way you like. You will
find the only way to make sure
of winning three club tricks
against any Al break is to play
the suit as Mr.. Masters did.

NAVY PLANE CRASHES NEAR GAMBELL ON
 ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND

FAIRBANKS, R-A Navy pat rol bomber crashed on St. Law renee Island in the Boring Sea Wednesday and four injured men were observed by fliers near the smoking wreckage.
 The wreck scene is six miles south of Southwest Cape, near the community of Gambell, resi- dents of which first reported sec ing smoke.
 An Air Rescue Squadron plane from Elmendorf Air Force Base at Fairbanks later flew over the scene and spotted the injured men.
 The plane last had been heard from shortly after noon and it was nearly four hours later when the request for aid was received.
 Today, Nome Field commander Maj. James Kell, would make no statement as to whether or not the rescue had been made.
 From other sources it was learned today that the II men aboard the plane were evacuated to Elmendorf Wednesday night.
 All the men were able to es- cape the flaming wreckage of the crash, but in doing so seven of them received burns of varying degrees. One of the men broke an ankle and another has a broken arm.
 The pilot attempted a crash landing on the beach when the right engine burst into flames while on a routine patrol out of Kodiak.

Jet Bomber Flies From Norway to Fairbanks,
 Beats Sun by Az Hours

FAIRBANKS R-Three British Royal Air Force officers flew across the North Pole in jet bomber from Norway to Alaska yesterday, landing four and a half hours by the clock before they left Europe.
 The twin-engined jet plane, the first of it's kind to fly across the pole, roared onto Ladd Air Force Base at 4:27 p.m., Alaska time, six hours 23 minutes after leaving Bardufoss, Norway. They had left the European airport at 9:O4 p.m., Norway time.
 The 3,200-mile jaunt was com pleted at an average speed of 500 miles an hour, gaining all the way on the sun which had been setting when they left Bardufoss.
 (At this latitude, the relative speed of the sun across the sky is much slower than at the Equator, where it approximates 1000 mphO
 The sun and moon both were visible at this time of year.
 It was all a bit confusing, how ever, gastronomically speaking: the three fliers had supper in Bardufoss and arrived here in time for dinner the same day.

Reports Conflict On Nuclear Tests In Soviet Russia

WASHINGTON, R-The Atom ic Energy Commission (AEC) in dicated today it has had no evil dence of major nuclear test by Russia in almost a year.
 This contradicts Dr. Ralph E. Lapp, a nuclear scientist formerly connected with the governments atomic bomb development pro- gram, who says, fit now can be revealed that the Soviets conduct ed at least two superbomb tests this spring"
 Writing in the current issue of Life magazine, Lapp said the first of the two tests occurred in April and that Japanese scientists then found evidence in fallout sam pies. The second shot, Lapp said, was in May, when "nongovern- ment scientists in the United States picked up strong radioac- tive indications of it."
 Tn response to a question based on Lapp's assertion, the AEC said:
 "The commission has consis- tently followed policy of inform ing the American people of it's tests of nuclear weapons and of tests in Soviet territory.
 There has been no change in this policy"

Senator Says Reds Hold the Cards
 In Big Four Talks

WASHINGTON LR-Sen. Mans field O-Mont said today the So- viet Union ''holds all the real cards" in next months discussions with the West on the future of Germany.
 Mansfield said Eisenhower Ad- ministration foreign policy leaders have "overemphasized the tenu- ous relationship that now exists between West Germany and west ern Europe and hypnotized them selves that this relationship will continue indefinitely"
 If Russia is seriously intent on a neutral, reunified Germany, the senator said in an interview, So- viet leaders may well disclose at the Big Four summit conference an intent to advance these tat tractive" propositions to West German Chancellor Adenauer:
 Invite him to ''take over" Soviet East Germany; offer him Soviet controlled territory now held by Poland and the Czechoslavakia Sudetenland, both of which Ger many once controlled; and hold out a guarantee of trade conces- SionS.
 Soviet Foreign Minister Molo- tov, Mansfield said, served notice in his San Francisco speech two days ago that Russian leaders will demand the United States give up its air base system in Europe and Africa when the Big Four talks get under way at Geneva July IS.
 ''This is the most significant portion of Molotov's speech" said Mansfield.
 Senate Republican Leader Knowland, meanwhile, demanded that the US. avoid any discussion of Far East tensions at any inter national meeting until all Ameri- cans now held by Communist Chi na are freed.

Post Office Offers Certified Mail' to Assure Delivery

Effective the 7th of this month a change in the registered mail service went into effect at a re- duced cost to patrons and speedier delivery on at least g million letters a year now sent by regis tered mail.
 The new mail service is called certified mail" A charge of 15 cents is made for giving the pa tron certificate of mailing and for having the letter carrier take a delivery receipt from the ad- dressee. This is in contrast with the present minimum charge of 30 cents for registered mail.
 Postmaster General Summer field explained that the savings passed on to patrons are the re- suits of simplification studies made by the Post Office Depart ment. At the same time, he an- nounced that the diversion of mail out of the present registered ser vice would enable the department to give greater security protection to letters carrying items of real financial value.
 The certified mail service is used for first-class mail for which no indemnity value is claimed The Is cents charge is in addition to regular first-class or airmail postage. Special delivery is, also available for the customary extra charge.
