UneroupIiness

Another articulate advocate
of ungroupliness to come for
ward is a local man, John
Keats. author of THE CRACK
IN THE PICTURE WINDOW,
that unloving look at the hous-
ing development.
Mr.. Keats used to De a
reporter for the Washington
Daily News, but now has be-
come a full-time author
working in an individualistic
house in Woodfleld, Md.
He reports that he has been
receiving enthusiastic letters
from like-minded housing de-
velopment jewellers. One lady
in Baltimore wrote that he was
the only man in the United
States who really understood
her.
A Limited Outlook
Like a lot Of other people.
Mr.. Keats began by hating
housing developments for
their physical ugliness. But
ne learned to loathe them
even more when his converse
lions with people who lived in
them revealed how limited
life could be when seen
through a picture window that
looked merely onto other pic
ture windows of the exact
same size and outlook.
But he wishes people would
think of his book not SO much
as a rock thrown through the
picture window as a clarion
call to people to do a little
intelligent planning for the
development Of their COM
munities.
Now Mr.. Keats, whose book
incidentally. was illustrated
by Don Kinder. son Of the
late Hans Kinder director Of
the National Symphony. is
busy on a study of another
community problem. the pub

Marshall Advocates Return

George Marshall. president
Of the Redskins, wants the Ma
tional Football League to go
back to the old system of watt
ing until the bowl games are
played before conducting it's
annual draft. He also suggests
taking rs instead of 80 for each
team. and eventually would cut
back to 20.
NIL teams now meet after
the 10th game of the season for
a preliminary draft of four men
each. plus the bonus choice.
This system was initiated dur
ing the war with the AL
America Conference. Propon-
ents Of the advance draft argue
that 1t prevents Canadian teams
from getting a jump on them
in going after promising young
college stars. Opponents say it
merely points out the ones most
desired by the NIL.
