Brighter and brighter becomes
Ginnie Siegel's prospects Of
beating the great record set by
Lorraine GULL for a league sea-
son in duckpins.
In the campaign of 1949-50
Miss GULL. nine times the Ma
tons top-ranking woman duck
pinner, hit the peak of a re-
markable career by averaging
1915 for 108 games in the
Chevy Chase Ice Palace Major
League.
It was an all-time high for
the Washington area. and not
until now has it been threat
ened.
How real threat it is may be
reckoned from this: Miss Sic
gels current average with the
Thompson's Transfer team in
the District Minor League is
1896 for 81 games. This is
much closer to 100 than reached
by Miss GULL. Miss Siegel could
slacken a little and still top the
record.
There is a strong indication
that rather than slow down,
she'll strike an even faster pace
than through most of the Dis
trict Minor League season. 1t is
remembered that for a month or
so in midseaSon she was handi-
capped by an injury that neces-

But the biggest factor in Miss
Siegel'S favor is that three of he1
last five appearances in the Dis

Five times this season the
young lady has topped 400 in
league matches and on four oil
these occasions she bowled al

her best, was at Kalorama.

lie Says 25es Have Shifted To
Eisenhower. Announces National
Speaking Trip

Twenty-Five per cent of Negro
Democratic voters have decided
TO vote for President Eisenhow-
er, Representative Adam Clayton
Powell. Jr. declared yesterday.
Ten per cent more will switch
TO Eisenhower before Election
Day, he predicted.
The Negro Baptist minister,
who has represented his Harlem
district in Congress for twelve
years, voiced these opinions at a
press conference at 270 Park Av.
enue. Il marked the opening of
headquarters of the Independent
Democrats for Eisenhower, of
which he is chairman.
The Representative said he
would tour the country making
speeches for President Eisen-
hover, principally In cities where
large Negro populations may
swing from 'Adlai E. Stevenson to
the President.
He insisted that he was "still a
Democrat" and would support 10.
cal Democratic candidates.
The Representative reiterated
yesterday that his support OF
President Eisenhower was based
on his belief that the President
would safeguard the civil rights
Of Negroes more vigorously thar
would Mr.. Stevenson.
His speaking schedule will
take him to Michigan, California,
Pennsylvania. Illinois, Ohio Mas.
sachusetts, Missouri, Indiana and

that he made a deal with the

to be offered to the New Congress.
New School Aid FormUls
This formula, which viii bridge
the gap between our past differ
ences of viewpoint, was worked
out during a conference with Ja-
cob K. Javits, attorney general OF
New York State and Republican
candidate for the u. S. Senate.
"Under it, federal funds would
be denied to any school district
which, having been directed by
federal court order to integrate
its schools, declined to comply
with such a judicial directive"
Referring again to the Presi-
dents reception of this formula
Powell described it as "immedi
ately enthusiastic. He said that
Mr.. Eisenhower referred it inn
mediately to his staff for study.
Top Secret Mission
The tall, handsome representa-
tive said he had arrived October 3
from a tour of several European
countries, in one of which-Yugo-
slavia-he had carried out a "top
secret mission" the report on
which was for the President only.
He toured under the auspices Of
the Education and Labor commit
tee of the House Of Representatives
to gather data on federal or CEN
tral government educational aid
abroad.
We do not have in this country,
concept of federal aid for educa-
tion," he said, "and as a result,
the bills on that subject get bog
ged down in a morass of ignor-
ance." He said after the es3tion
he would compile report for pub
lication by the committee, and
append his own recommendations
to it.

just as Princess Grace nee Grace
Kelly of movie fame, and Prince
Rainier of Monaco were leaving
