AnnandaIe
Keeps Up Hot
Scoring Pace
BY DICK STAY
Star Stan Writer

Coach Ed Henry can see no
good reason why his AMMAN
dale High School football team
will interrupt its momentum
by having next week end free,
before finishing the season
against rival Fairfax.
IF it happens. then it's my
fault" he says with typical
frankness. "Shucks, Army and
Navy take a week of before
they play and 1t doesn't seem
to bother them"
Right now Annandale is
winging along in front of the
Northern Virginia Group ]
League and leading all the
States Group I schools in scor-
ing with 211 points in eight
games. An almost effortless
1876 victory last night at
Mount Vernon was the Atoms
fourth game in succession over
80 points.
Receivers tumble
Annandale had a 1910 lead
with 4::35 still remaining in the
first quarter as it marched Y
yards for a touchdown after
the opening kickoff, recovered
a tumble on the ensuing kick
off and moved rs yards for an
other score.
Quarterback Brent Eardley
intercepted a Billy Devore pass
to start the second quarter
and the Atoms struck rs yards
in only five plays for a l9-(
lead. About a minute later, Enc
Bruce Rentch scooped up an.
other Mount Vernon tumble
and carried to the Majors 26
Another five plays and AMMAN
dale had a $50 lead with SO;
left in the first half.
The offensive reserves added
a fifth touchdown in the thirc
quarter when Richard Moore
passed Is yards to End Johr
Smith in the end zone, follow.
ing a 15-yard penalty.
DevOre's Passes Click
Mount Vernon scored with
20 seconds left in the game or
quick pitch to Lindsey Noble
on fourth down from a foot
away. after Devore's passes got
the key yardage in a 52-yard
advance.
The Majors were looking foI
the ball-carrying of Fullback
Doug Brown, who came into
the game the States third
leading scorer with 10 points
But Halfbacks Sonny Utz and
Dana Wellman supplied the
bulk of the ground attack
which ate up 255 yards, 1877 in
the first half.
Utz, 175-pound junior who
was injured for several of the
early games, scored the frs
three touchrowns in this
order: An inside reverse
through right tackle for /.
yards, a LIZARD dive and a o.
yard Scamper off right tackle
as three tacklers slid of him
Reserve Halfback Danny Drink

Editorial
Al CLUB PROGRAM
WHAT EVER BECAME Of the Al Gu

WHAT EVER BECAME of the Al Club program
which was introduced in this Island some years ago? AS
we recall, an extension agent connected with the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station here introduced the pro-
gram, and actually had it moving. He left, however, and
little has been heard Of it since.
NO SPECIALISTS IN 4H Club work, little
can be said here except that it seemed most worthwhile,
especially for the children and young people in the rural
areas. To us here this program may be new, but it is one
Of the strongest and most effective programs through
out the United States. Many corporations, including the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, offer scholarships
to outstanding boys and girls in Al Club work, and
every effort is made to sustain and advance the program.
THESE ISLANDS, AND especially ST. Croix, could
use such a program. There is no escaping the fact that
agriculture must play a greater role in the economic life
of this island than it is now playing. Not only sugarcane,
but many, many other products are needed. Farms must
be developed and made the economic unit Of agricultural
st. Croix.
TO MAKE ANY Roadway in agriculture the chill
dren and young people must be trained in it early. They
must know at an early age that it is an honorable way
Of life; that it pays handsomely in economic security,
8 family and other social benefits, and that SO far as st.
Croix is concerned, few other occupations or ways of
life could be more satisfying. In the lack OF these pro
grams no doubt lies the failure Of agriculture.
NO HIT-AND4MISS set Of ideas Or ceremonies will
suffice. There must be a welLplanned, properly coordi-
mated program for this Island, and the entire group. AS
Is to be expected Of things rural, they move slowly.
However, they also move with great deliberations; and
are found to be substantial.
PERHAPS THE DAY will come when, beginning
, 1959-03-12

with the Commissioners Of Agriculture, the requisite at
tention will be given and at least a start made in the
right direction.

Kossem's Warning

A few weeks ago the Communists Of
Iraq seemed to be on the verge of taking
over the country for the greater honor
and glory of the Kremlin. But now they
have moderated their policies. They
have stopped demanding that they be
given positions Of power in the Baghdad
government, and they appear to be on
the defensive in opposing Premier Kas-
SENS call for a moratorium on political
activity by all organized parties. More
than that, since they have been persist
ent in this opposition, they have Just
been warned by the official radio not to
stir up trouble or otherwise try to OBJ
struct and sabotage "the course of the
revolution"
There is no doubt that this warning
has been issued on orders from General
Kassem himself. AS Iraq's national
hero, he continues to be something of
man of mystery, and the detectives of
his revolutionary regime still remain
quite unclear. Accordingly, it is hazard
Gus for any outsider to presume to inter
pref what is in his mind or to guess at
the true nature Of his policy. Yet, with
that said, it is certainly interesting, and
maybe even highly significant, that he
has made a point of telling the Com
munists to watch their step. This may
mean much or little, but at least it sug-
gests that he does not want them to run
the show

Stress on Science

The emphasis being placed on SCI
entif1c subjects, mathematics and Ian
guages by District school authorities is
in line with national trend in educa-
tional circles to adjust curricula to the
requirements of the age of satellites,
missiles and nuclear research. The trend
has been accelerated as it has become
apparent that Russian chronological
progress has conceded with advanced
education in Soviet classroomS.
The District Board of Education has
approved plans for stiffening junior and
senior high school courses for students
preparing for college or for technical
vacations. Beginning in September of
1860, for example, students entering
honor courses at the 1Oth-grade level
will be required to take three, instead
of two, units in science or foreign Ian
guages. Honor students in junior high
next year will have to take more math,
languages and social studies. And all
pupils entering college preparatory
courses next fall will be required to take
an additional year of science.
Similar curriculum revisions have
been made in many other school sys-
TENS, or are being planned. Already the
results have become evident, according
to recent surveys by educators and SCI
entific groups. It will take some years,
however, for the schools and colleges to
make up the ground which has been
lost.

Rocketeering LoophoIe

Attorney General Rogers has pro-
posed legislation that would close
loophole through which many labor
racketeers have escaped prosecution.
Congress and the Department Of Justice
have found that testimony vital to the
exposing and convicting of extortionistS
and hoodlumS often is blocked by i'm
munity pleas from key witnesses. The
Governments plan is to force such re-
luctant witnesses to testify under grant
of immunity from prosecution. The
proposal has great deal of merit.
The Attorney General would amend
both the Hobbs Act and the Taft Hartley
Act to authorize the new immunity sys-
tenn. The Hobbs Act outlaws interfering
with interstate commerce through rob-
berry or extortion. The Taft-Hartley Act,
among other things, forbids an employer
to pay any money or make any gifts
to employees or their representatives
under circumstances suggesting bribery.
Congressional committees and Justice
officials have been baked in some inves-
legations by refusal of employees and
employers to testify in labor racketeer-
ing cases for fear of Standardization.
It would be better in such cases to
let minor figures go in return for i'm
portant testimony in order to nab the
big racketeerS and other criminals. If
q witness, after grant of immunity,
still refused to give evidence, he could
be prosecuted for contempt. MIR. Rogers

No Precedent, Please

The reelection Of Robert E. Nc
Laughlin as president of the Board Of
District Commissioners, clearly fore
Swallowed when the White House inter-
vened, now has become an accomplished
fact.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has done good Job
In the past and we have no doubt that
he will do equally well in the future. OF
course, he viii need the cooperation Of
Commissioner Karrick and Engineer
Commissioner yelling, but there is no
reason for misgiving on this score. Mr..
Karrick was an aspirant for the board
presidency, and he would have been
elected had there been opportunity for
free choice. It is not to be expected
that he and General yelling win be
happy about the dictated election Of Mr..
Mclaughlin. Fortunately, however, all
three men are genuinely devoted to the
best interests Of this city, and they viii
get on with the job.
The presidency, In our opinion,
should have gone to Mr. Karrick. The
Commissioners are presidential appoint
ees, however, and If Mr.. Eisenhower
wanted the largely ceremonial office to
60 to Mr.. Mclaughlin he was entitled to
have his way. But we have believed,
and we still believe, that such prefer
ence should be publicly stated. For the
White House to exert behind the-scenes
pressure in matter of this kind is
hardly compatible with good govern
meYt and we hone that this incident
will not serve as a precedent.

DoubIe-ToIk Standard

Chairman Magnuson Of the Senate
Commerce Committee has set new
standard for measuring the qualiflca-
tons Of a presidential appointee to the
cabinet. He says that If the nomination
of Lewis Strauss to be Secretary of Com
merce is rejected by the Senate the
appointee can attribute major blame to
"bad public relations"
This strikes us as being new high
In political double-talk President Eisen-
hover nominated Mr.. Strauss because Of
his demonstrated competence as an adj
ninistrator and his established qualifi-
cations as a banker and Businessman
ell of which give him particular fitness
as head of the Commerce Department.
During is days of unusual trial before
Senator MagnuSoi1's committee, none Of
these qualifications was diSproved and
even the chairman says that Mr.. Strauss
certainly has had some training" for
the job. But Mr.. MagnuSon complains
that Mr.. Strauss creates controversy
and that he was ''belligerent in his atti-
tude." These presumably add up to bad
public relations"
1t Is no doubt helpful for cabinet
officer to be on pleasant terms with Capt.
toll Hill. Up to now. however, this has
not implied the requirement of a sort of
milk-toast humility toward partisan POI
litical critics working of old grudges.
Neither has it implied the requirement
Of "snow job in the field of so-called
public relations.
With the Strauss nomination now
favorably reported to the floor we hope
that the Senate will turn its back on the
INTERPRETING" technique that marked the
committee hearings.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL

The attention necessary to
listen to music in this case
finally puts one to sleep.
The music acts as a sort
OF lullaby, since the listener
is relaxed. One of the best
ways of wooing sleep, as it
is phrased, is to try to keep
ones attention on some one
thing. The oldsters tried to
do it by counting sheep, as
they said.
The idea was a good one
for a pastoral day and age,
when sheep were more in the
news, as we say now.
But in these enlightened
atomic days, we need some
thing besides sheep. Sheep
are honest creatures. but not
speedy enough for us.
We might count motor cars,
or whizzing rockets, but the
idea is far from r@cific.
We need something peace
full, when We try to WOO
sleep.
ooh, sleep, it is a blessed
thing,
Beloved from pole to pole"
So sang the poet, and he
was right.
Now, the mockingbird,
spurred on by moonlight,
may keep you awake unless
you get into the right mood.
If one appreciates, in the
first place, and carefully lis
tens, in the second, he or she
will find this music happy,
soothing and peaceful, and
above all beautiful.
It is not all hooking, by
any means, though some of
it is: mostly it is a free reci-
tatiye, based on themes as
good as any found in PUG
chi, and you know how good
those are.
The mockingbird really is
a musician, right out of the
heart of nature. 1t is inpoSsi-
Bile to listen to him, properly,
without finding much of in
terest and beauty in his per-
Torrance. The time of the
day or night is not tmpor-
tant. The music is.
One can't be sure about the
mockinebird, but our guess is
that when one stays awake
all night, it is sleepy the
next night, just as a person
is, and so you do not hear the
same one two nights in a row.
Maybe that will be some
consolatid to Lila.

also sent to Congress proposals for
cracking down on racketeers IN the
gambling field, through broadening the
scope Of the law against interstate
transportation Of gambling devices.
Another bin would make II illegal for
gamblers and bookmakers TO claim tax
deductions for expenses incurred in OPP
Grating their illegal business
All OF these measures would be help
ful in curbing organized criminality in
general. We think the most important,
however, is the one to break through
the Fifth Amendment barrier in labor
racketeering cases.

I'm all for our little

Mockingbirds ask no per-

mer in every note, and hui
man beings do best to listen
to them.

them of.
Usually one sings, and an
other q half block or maybe
a block away answers, so
that it sounds as If a whole
neighborhood of singers per-
formed for an invisible audi
ence.
Sometimes smaller birds,
notably song sparrows, join
in. but usually these make
only a soft grooming sound,
akin to the keening Of the
ancient Celts.
1t is the mocker that

Breakfast in Boston

Teamster president James r. Hoffa
sounds like man who Is seeing things
(angrily) under his breakfast plate. Adj
dressing 1850 Of his union members at
q communion breakfast in Boston, Mr..
Hoffa brought them the word that "the
Senators and Congress are trying to
destroy organized labor, that employers
are trying to scuttle the Steelworkers
Union and that cartoonists and editorial
writer's are trying to embarrass and
possibly put" in prison the fellow team
sters who came to breakfast. In the
course Of this oratorical mishmash,
heavy menu for so early in the morn
ing, Mr.. Hoffa also dealt in particu-
larry unfiattering fashion with Senators
Kennedy and Erwin, cosponsors Of labor
reform legislation, and with 'Meany,
Reuther and his bunch Of stooges" on
the AFL-CIO executive council.
II there was any news in Mr.. Hoffa's
nonsense 1t was his declaration Of COM
mon cause with the steelworkers. whose
union leadership is now engaged in nego-
tiations with the industry on a new
contract. Claiming that the steel union
recently had sounded him out on his
position in event of steel strike, Mr..
Hoffa said he had promised his support
because after the employers destroy
you they will destroy us, therefore it is
common fight" There has, of course,
been no suggestion from anyone other
than Mr. Hoffa that the steel industry is
either so naive or SO predatory as to
think Of trying to destroy the steelwork-
ers union. And on the public record, at
least, there has been no continuation
that the SteelWorkers union an affiliate
of the ALL Clio, is seeking alliance with
the Hoffa teamsters who were tossed out
Of the Federation in 1857.
There continues, however, to be rea-
son for concern about Mr.. Hoffa's AFRO
CANT and free-wheeling declarations of
war on other segments Of organized
labor, on industry, on Government and
on the public interest at large. 1t was
only week or SO ago that the Teamster
boss was threatening Nationwide gen.
eral strike if Congress dared to extend
the antitrust laws to labor unions. Mr..
Hoffa's type of labor leadership and his
ayowed goal Of creating form Of labor
"truSt" in the transportation field pro-
vide an excellent argument for public
protection by law. If Mr.. Hoffa keeps on
making belligerent speeches, at breakfast
or elsewhere, he will help prove the need.

Wise School Board

Thank heaven the Falls
Church School Board is TAX
ing its responsibilities under
Section 1873 of the Virginia
constitution seriously - The
supervision Of schools, ETC."
Northern Virginia at last
has produced a school board
that is not anxious to saddle
its youth with a huge school
debts debt that will not
show them the way Of fru-
gality but of public irrespon-
sibility.
The cuts made in the
school budget were all wise
ones. Putting the money in
teachers salaries was like
wise q wise decision. It put
the money where it will do

room.
Any incompetent can

age to know what public ex-
penses to delete.
