Ce|tics and Petit
Making Farce Of
Rivalry in NBA

NEW YORK, Jan. 90 (P.-A
pair of rampaging runaways-
the Boston Celtics and Bob Petit
of the st. Louis Hawks-are
spreading havoc among their Ma
tional Basketball Association
rivals.
Petit is threatening to make a
shambles of the point scoring
race. The Celtics, with seven
straight victories and 7l2-game
lead. have reduced the Eastern
Division title chase to a question
Of who's in second.
Currently New York and Phila-
delphia virtually are tied.
Philadelphia, despite Paul Ari-
zin's 24-point contribution. be-
came the latest victim of the Gel
tics last night, losing to Bob
Cousy and Co, 1O5-95, in the
afterpiece of a Boston double
header. In the opener, Syracuse
defeated the Minneapolis Lakers,
1926.
Arizin, at the annual All-Star
game break. trailed Petit by only
five points. But Petit, in defend
ing his scoring title, opened a
whopping l22-point lead in a To-
game outburst, according to MIA
statistics released today.
Petit Melted 286 points over
that span, bringing his season
total to 1858 and 27.6 point
per game average for 40 games.
The surge outdistanced Arizin.
who scored 1863 points in seven
starts since midseason for a
/ LAG point total and 24.9 average.
1t was Cousy who eased the
Celtics patch last night when the
Warriors became difficult. His
two set shots put Boston out of
danger in the final period when
Philadelphia had closed the
margin to 1881. His 25-footer
later in the period broke the
Warriors hearts as he sent the
Celtics into a commanding lead.
The weary Lakers. enduring
their fifth game in as many
nights on the road with only an
eight-man squad. kept pace with
the Mats. 5l-5l. at the half.
After that the Lakers fell be-
hind steadily to suffer their
fourth consecutive loss. Johnny
Kerr was high man for SYRIA
cuse with 26 points. Dick Gar
maker of Minneapolis topped
game scorers with 20.

Still q Good Site

In view Of the background OF the
controversy, the District Commissioners
we're justified in declining to reopen
the question of a site for the Tenley
Branch Library. 1t is regrettable that
the ParentTeacher Association Of the
Janney School had seen At to revive the
issue, after It's settlement, presumably,
nearly two years ago.
Actually, the proposed site on a
small part Of the Janney School grounds
in the Tenley area was set aside for the
library by the Board of Education about
% years ago. The 1885 resolution grant
ing use OF the land for the branch was
reaffirmed by the board In December
Of 1855, despite protests OF the Janney
p. T. A. Factors favoring this action in
cluded the central location of the site
in the community to be served, the
fact that public libraries are designated
by law as "a supplement of the public
educational system" and the further
fact that the District would save $4,000
by using land already owned by 1t.
These persuasive factors still out
weigh the argument that the land should
be preserved for playground purposes.

II the 81 million goal is to be attained

that there have been numerous distrac-
tons during the first weeks of the drive
the World Series, Asian flu, Sputnik
and the like. And the visit to WASH
ington later this week Of Queen Eliza
beth and Prince Philip will tend further
to divert public attention from what
was planned as an intensive canvass of
all givers in the Metropolitan Area. But
the Embarrassing efforts must continue
without letup, lest the united way OF
giving suffer a setback
Despite the difficulties, the 10000
volunteers have managed to bring in
contributions or pledges totaling S2.8
million-which is 40 per cent of the
goal. That is no mean achievement. of
course. But the drive is behind sched-
ule. To make up lost time will take
extra energy by the various campaign
units, as we'll as hearty cooperation by
the public at large. The job can be done

Back on the Track

After three years Of bitter contro-
versy. there is welcome ray Of hope
for WaShington's long-needed coming
revision in the proposed report of the
Citizens Zoning Advisory Committee.
The new report, which the citizen
group will act upon next Friday, does
not, of course, remove the element of
controversy. For 1t takes strong excep-
ton to most Of the key coming revision
proposals of consultant Harold Lewis. 1t
also suggests, however. specific amend
mentS within the framework of the le-
gal coming document submitted by Mr.
Lewis. This, for the first time, indicates
agreement at least on the form Of new
city coming code.
When approved, as We assume they
will be this week. the citizen recommen-
dations will go to the coming commits
sion. The fact that the commission
already has reached its own tentative
conclusions on the provisions of the new
code ordinarily would seem to nullify an
advisory report submitted at this late
date. In this case, however, the care
fully drawn advisory report raises pre-
cisely the kind of last-minute recon-
mendations that are needed. We trust
the coming commission will give them
the fullest possible consideration, and
show no hesitancy in adopting those 1t
can support.

Hot Money

Regardless Of explanations, includ-
Ing loud charges against Western mo
nopolists and militarists," Communist
East Germany's sudden changeover OF
currency amounts to ruthless confisca-
ton of private wealth. Informed on
Sunday morning that their currency
holdings would be worthless in twelve
hours, East Germans were given that
much time to exchange for new marks
up to maximum OF approximately SIG
worth by Western values. After next
Saturday, certain other holdings will be
cleared for conversion-but only on
satisfying Communist authorities that
the old marks had been obtained "le-
gally," condition subject to completely
arbitrary definition
1t is undisputed that a certain vol
ume of East German marks-estimate
at approximately 81 million worth-have
piled up in West German hands. Some

venience Of 5000 West Berliners who
work in the eastern sector and another
$4,000 East Berliners who work in the
western area. Some undoubtedly was
held by spectators and organizations
financing disapproved activities in East
Germany. That these funds should be-
come worthless represents a calculated
risk taken by their holders. In the long
run, however, 1t will be the satellite pop
ulation itself that will lose most heavily
by having the bulk Of its savings i'm
pounded. And the fact that the new
currency, for those who get 1t, may
reflect more closely its true purchasing
power hardly makes life in the peoples
