.StenqeI Says
Bench Is Gone

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (P).-
Casey Stengel was running down
his lineup for benefit Of re-
porters when somebody asked
him about his bench strength,
for years an important factor
in the Yankees success.
MY bench? My bench is
gone" Casey said. Sure, there's
Joe Collins and Joe Coleman
and Elston Howard and Bob
Cerv. Collins gives me a pinch
hitter or a first baseman or an
outfielder. And Coleman l can
use in the infield and maybe
as a hitter. Howard's been sick,
in the hospital with that throat,
and may be weak. Cerv's come
through, I mean he's hit some

I wouldn't be afraid to play

The George Washington foot
ball team that goes after its third
straight victory Friday night at
Griffith Stadium against Hardin
Simmons is one that so far
hasn't found it necessary to de-
pend on any one individual star.
Every backf1eld player on both
the A and B units (they don't
call them first and second teams

at one time or another.
1t hasn't been a one-man show
at any time. although Halfback
Pete Spera did get a lot of atten-
ton with a fancy pass catch and
Ia good run or two in the opener

I should like to come to the
defense Of Egyptian President
Canal Abdel NasSer. who has
been sadly maligned in your
newspaper on more than one
occasion. The most recent of
these aspersions were cast by
Constantine Brown in his col
umn of August 81. In the
first instance he refers to the
naturalization of the Suez Ca
nal Co. by NaSser as an "arbi-
trary decision" Surely it is
unfair to label as arbitrary a
decision which was forced into
being by our own State De-
partment'S arbitrary with
drawal of a legitimate offer of
aid. Second, 1 take exception
to Mr.. Browns insinuation
that Abdel Nasser is not an
elected president, but a pup
pet who Iances to Moscow's
tune" Few if any of our So
called allies have waged such
an out and out war against
communism within their own
country as has the Egyptian
government under the leader
ship of NaSser. / remind Mr..
Brown that Nasser did not &C
cept the Soviet offer of aid
with which to build the Aswan
Dam, but that he preferred,
when the American offer was
so unceremoniously withdrawn,
to try to raise the funds from
a resource which, according
to all the precedentS set in
international law, was the
property of Egypt.
The third and most fragrant
ignorance of all is the sug-
geStion that the Arab world
distrusts Nasser because he
wishes to become "the ruler
of an Arab confederation"
NaSSer's leadership in the Arab
world might well be compared
with the leadership of Eisen-
hover in the Western world.
He has at no time expressed
nor in any way indicated that
he desired to rule" any Arab
country except Egypt. If his
superior ability and the in
creased advancement of his
country have placed him in
position which is not to be
trusted, then Dwight EiSen-
hover and the United States
had better watch their step.
