BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

Only two of the nine men to
represent Washington in the Ma
tional Match Game champion
ship March TO at Hagerstown
are among the areas first 10 in
official rank, these being Frank
Micalizzi. second and Billy Mis-
chou. fourth.
But Washington won't want

big title, what with Harry Blu
menthal, FL Geib, Leon Fleisher
Freddy Martin, Julie Singer,
Jack Moulton and Perez Wolfe
in there with Mical.zzi, a former
winner, and Mischou.
At various times e;.ch has
proved his mettle beyond any
question. The latest to do SO
was Moulton. in winning the
supplementary l5-game quail
flying test with an average OF
1898. For the last seven it was
1904.
A major factor in the Match
Game championship is stamina,
and in this connection, so far
as Moulton is concerned. it is
well to remember that he won
the l5-game Dixie Classic. He's
"a lean horse" that boy.

Short Memories on H-Test Ban

There's q vast difference
between a proposal for 'uni-

as the United States has been

1T is for these reasons that
I proposed long before this
campaign that we take the
lead in curbing this ghastly
killer. :.
yet the hard scientific
fact seems to be that we can
safely stop hydrogen explo-
Sions without inspection, be-
cause, if Russia or anyone
else should violate an agree
ment and explode a big
bomb, we would Immediately
detect it."
There has been q palpable
Misrepresentation Of the
American position in Soviet
Russia, which is to be ex-
pected. But the making Of q
partisan issue out Of the diff
cult and delicate question of
controlling atomic warfare is
q regrettable development in
side this country. Even Pope
Plus - who has never pro-
posed q ''unilateral" suspen-
sion of tests but has taken a
position in accord with that
of the Western powers-has
been continually misrepre-
sented as having once recon-
mended the very plan which
later was advocated by Ste
venson.
1t is a good thing the White
House did make public the
complete record Of the Ameri-
can Governments many pro-
posals and the negative re-
sponse they received from the
Soviets. For the record is
unequivocal and convincing
that the United States has
sought throughout by every
means-long before the 1856
campaign-to obtain a limi-
tation Of atomic tests and

guarded agreements.

In this severely disturbed
continent, Thailand is a re-
markable country where the
press can say anything it
pleases. The vernacular
papers are thriving on scan
dals, true or imaginary. AS
in many other countries, the
Communists have taken ad-

Washington has sent to this

Despite these difficulties,
q superficial glance at the

following two conclusions:
"a American prestige and

countries we are helping out;
and (2) this country despite
its limited resources and pop

somewhat and indicates that
