BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON

Struggling to get down to IS
players by next Tuesday, the
Redskins made no progress today
when they added two ends to the
roster after dropping two line
men.
Fred Miller, 235-pound tackle
beginning his second year in the
league. and Bill Fulcher, rookie
guard from Georgia Tech. were
placed on waivers. But the
roster remained at Al as Mean

Several clubs are interested in
Miller, an alumnus of College OF
Pacific. and there is chance the
Redskins may get a 1857 draft
choice for him. Although beaten
out for a job this time by PAS
pound John Miller of Boston
College, Freddy would be a valu-
able addition to several other
clubs in the league.

Missing Players Dull
Howard EIeven's Hopes

Back in August, Howard Uni
versity Coach Tom johnson had
visions Of a winning season this
year. But now, in mid-September
he's not so sure.
Thirty veterans, including "a
lettermen. were slated to return
this season. But with the open
ing game coming up here Satur-
day with Shaw, only IS players
are in camp, and only Is letter.
men are among them.
Still missing as the third and
final week Of preseason practice
was under way were Ends Salem
Adams, George Anderson, Lon
nell Booker, Johnnie Singleton
and Artie Smallwood, Tackles
Don and Bill Jones, Centers
Randy Marshall and Tom White,
and Backs Harvey Jones and
Bill Robinson.
Lack of depth, perennial
problem at Howard, will be even
more grave this year.
Top Problem at End
Johnson's main concern is at
end. With the five previously
mentioned players failing to re-
port. johnson has made whole
sale changes at the wings, Ken
Washington. who alternated at
end and halfback last year. will
see full-time duty at end in 1856.
Sophomore George Harris, the
Bisons' No. 2 quarterback in 1855,
has been converted to end, and
figures to hold down the other
starting assignment. Both
Second-string wingmen also are
convertees. They are Lindley
Smith, a transfer student who
was q fullback at st. Paul Poly,
and Dave Moore, who saw limited
service at center last year.
With both Jones boys out,
tackle also presents a problem.
Joe Drew ana Reggie Taylor, 3
pair Of Washington boys who
lettered last year. have not lived
up to expectations, and have
been relegated to second-string
berths. The starting assignments
will go to Milt Buck, a guard as

man Carl Rainey.

Two Freshmen
May See Action
lin CIV Opener

George Washington will have
Ia 33-man travelling squad, in
GLIDING two freshmen, for its
opening game Saturday at
Miami Of Ohio.
The two frosh with the varsity
will be Jim Elios, a 225-pound
center from Boston who played
three years with Boiling Air
Force Base, and Bill Smythe, a
185-pound halfback from Haver-
town. Pa.
It's quite likely both will see
action in the game at oxford,
Ohio. Elios is listed as No. 8
center behind Joe HINGE, a let
terman senior, and Orville Var
ley a nonletterman junior, and
Smythe is the No. 3 left half
back behind Mike Sommer, GW's
speedy junior star, and Pete
Spera, nonletterman senior.
Will Help Kicking
Although Smythe still has q
lot to learn about collegiate foot
ball, he is tabled as a real conner
at CIV. He's fast and powerful
runner and an outstanding
punter. In fact, he figures to be
the best kicker CIV has had in
a long time, and it is this punt
ing ability that probably will get
him into Saturdays game. GW's
two best kickers, Fullback 30
Austin and Halfback Dick Clay
pool, both are with the first
team, and it's likely that Smythe
will go in as a substitute if a
Ipunting situation comes up when
the second team is in the game.
Coach 30 Sherman has de-
lcided he will work two platoons
for the Colonials Saturday, and
Will keep them intact as much
as possible, using players listed
as No. 8 at each position to
make whatever substitutions are
needed in the other units.
Likes "B" Unit
( Sherman appears more pleased
all the time with his second
team, or B" unit as it is called
at CIV. A scrimmage last Sat-
urday was designed to test the
b unit as a group, and Sher-
mans summation Of the out
come is Its beginning to look
like a ball club"
\ Sherman has 10 lettermen
and II of them are with the
"A" or first team. The only
lettermen on the "B" team are
Bill McHenry. a 2O0-pound left
tackle, and Ray Murray, another

A 14-year attempt to teach
city boys farming is being
dropped by the District public
school system.
In 1912, spurred by the VIC
tory garden movement and the
Nations wartime need for food.
Phelps Vocational High School
put a pillow to a 22-acre island
reclaimed from the Anacostia
River and launched a course in
agriculture.
During the first lush years, the
opportunity to apply green
thumb-or at least to hope for
one-was welcomed by consider
able numbers of Phelps young
sters. At one time, counting the
adult evening school enrolment,
the school was teaching the Sc
crets of vegetable production to
275 students. Many were also
learning about canning and
poultry raising.
But recently. according to In
structor Roscoe c. Lewis, who
has guided the program since it
was first started. the project has
fallen on harder times. The hoes
and cultivators have been forced
by Anacostia park development
to transfer to a much smaller
landlocked tract, less convenient
to the school. Equipment has
become worn.
Enrolment. too, has dwindled

More and more boys. Mr.. Lewis

than about tomatoes and cab

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Valiant Fother Fails
Sons on Vocation

A valiant widower. Mr.. Jones
has not let his sons down.
He tried to make a home for
Mike, 10. and Jimmy, 8, after
their mother died several years
ago. But it was hard, working
and caring for the children, too,
and he definitely couldn't afford
"a housekeeper. Try as he would,
he couldn't give the boys enough
supervision.
1t was a grim fact to face, but
Mr.. Jones faced it. He realized
foster care was the best solution
Iat the time. So bne boys were
placed in a good foster home,
where their father visits them
every two weeks.
Mr.. Jones is a responsible man
who loves his sons. Thanks to
him. they have made a good adj
|justment since their mothers
death.
Money Problem
Money is his problem. Mr..
Jones has a small income, and
always will. Neither he nor the
boys foster parents can afford
ito send them to camp, although
for Mike. especially, it would be
heaven.
Mike loves nature. A happy
lgo lucky boy, and an unenthusi-
astic scholar, he adores the out
of doors.
Everything about it fascinates
him, including all animals,
snakes and especially frogs. He
has caught II frogs so far this
summer. He also brings bugs
home in the cocoon stage and
keeps them in jars. Eventually,
his foster mother finds them fly
ing in swarmS around the room.
His younger brother is a quieter,
more scholarly boy, interested in
sports. Both boys are eager to
go to camp. and are looking for
ward to learning to swim. There

HaItin Spending
On Stone House
Civic, Patriotic Units
Fight Bill to Block
Georgetown Project

Representatives of Washing
ton civic and patriotic groups
were heard today by an Interior
Public Lands Subcommittee con-
sidering a bill which would halt
further Federal spending on the
restoration of Georgetown's Old
Stone House.
! OF nearly two dozen persons,
only three had time to testify
against the bill introduced by
Representative Rogers, Democrat
of Texas, which would prevent
the spending of $62, 400 provided
in the Interior Departments APP
preparation bill.
! Congress in 1850 authorized
the Interior Department to ac-
lquire the building at 305l M
street NV. and this year author
lied the spending for its restora-
Ition.
Mr.. Rogers. however, would
take the money from the de-
Ipartment and sell the building
on the theory that any restora-
ton should be done by private
organizations.
Bill Brought Protest
Thee bill, introduced last
month, brought a storm of pro-
test from a number of civic and
patriotic groups as we'll as
Georgetown citizens.
Mrs. Harold B. Hinton told
the subcommittee that the Fed
eral Government not only has
the right but the duty to pro-
tect buildings in the District
which are related to its history
She added that no private group
could have acquired the building
because the owners have refused
to sell and the only way was
by condemnation proceedings.
She is president of the Progress
sive Citizens Association of
Georgetown.
Mr.. Rogers, who testified yes
terday as the first witness,
charged that lone of those So
cieties could easily have picked
up the check"
Mrs. Hinton, however, replied
that these groups do not have
the money.
Tangible Relics Needed
She declared that the plan tc
turn the personal---very. struc-
; ture into a museum charging q
small entrance fee is of great
: educational value. Tangible
! relics are important to educa-
tion," Mrs. Hinton said. Sht
added that Speaker Rayburr

measure through the Hill.

When the Senate acts it would
send the bill back to the House
and a House-Senate conference
to resolve differences between
the two versions.
The Senate bill would permit
Federal food and drug officers

One of is Measures
The Senate measure would ex-
tend for two-year period. from

session lasting only "a minutes.
One OF these would authorize
a division Of costs and mainte-
nance and operation of the Jones

Jurisdictions benefitting = the
District and the States of Mary
land and Virginia. The bridge
has already been authorized by
Congress. which has voted on
sufficient funds to build it.
Another measure sent to the
Senate floor would prescribe the
official weight to be given by
courts to tests for alcohol in the
blood or urine of persons tried
for operating vehicles under the
influence of intoxicating liquor.
1t would provide revocation Of
drivers permits if the driver re-
fuses to take a chemical test.
1t would eliminate the present
necessity of expert witnesses
