MONTREAL, Dec. % (AP)
President Clarence Campbell of
the National Hockey League
announced last night that
Andy Bathgate Of the New
York Rangers, author of a
magazine story regarding al
legged brutality in hockey, has
been fined $500. General Man
ager Muzz Patrick of the
Rangers was fined $l00.
In announcing his decision,
Campbell said "the sum total
effect on the article is def
nitely prejudicial to the league
and the game, and this was
not seriously contested by the
principals involved"
Regarding Patrick, Campbell
said "it is clear that he did not
authorize or approve the article
in the form in which it finally
appeared but by his failure to
consider its possible implica-
tions, which were quite plain in
the text which was submitted
to him, he gave his authorize
ton by default and is RESPONSE
BILE under the CNHL bylaw"
The article. in which Bath
gate was critical of "slashing"
in the league, appeared in the
Canadian edition of True
Magazine two weeks ago.

WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS
By DICK sLAY

The opinion should have
reached all interested precincts
by now that If anyone stops
Carroll this winter it most
likely viii be DeMatha.
A peek at the Lions basket
ball schedule reveals that the
Villanova freshmen, Navy
Plebes and Maryland Frosh
probably stand a better chance.
However, concerning opponents
Of their own high school status,
well concur with the DeMatha
notion.
This thinking someh ow
doesn't give DeMatha its due.
The Stays could lose both
meetings with Carroll, and even
stumble against the likes of
Landon, st. Johns or Fair
mont Heights. and still they
might develop into one Of the
real good scholastic court
teams here in recent years.
ITS a shame" an assistant
at a rival school told Coach
Morgan Wootten not long ago,
but If it wasn't for Carroll you
could have the best Catholic
League team since Jack George
played for st. Johns"
That was more than 10 years
ago.
DeMatha's basketball for
tunes improved the minute a
tall kid from the Bronx named
Mike Reidy enrolled in sum-
mer school at DeMatha about
six months ago.
The Stays were runnersup to
Carroll in the Catholic League
IN the 1889 season, and four
Of their five starters were re-
turning. A replacement for
Benjie Spots. the graduated
captain and all-league choice,
was needed.
Reidy apparently filled the
vacancy more than somewhat.

He had been a regular for
Bulls Prep last winter al
though only a high school
junior, holding bis own against
many a college freshman. He
was 6-foot-4 and did every
thing but blow up the ball.
There was some question
about the youngsters return
ing to Bulls. Teammate Ernie
Cage. q fermer DeMatha great,
dropped the word in Wootten's
ear, and the DeMatha coach
reacted. In short, Reidy soon
had a room near the school. a
part-time job and was enrolled
in classes.
Reidy also soon was playing
for the Stags in the summer
league at Jellef1 Branch Boys
Club. The Stays won the high
school division, and Reidy got
the most valuable player
award.
With that in mind there was
a little reason for surprise these
recent weeks when DeMatha
won its first six games. A g.

in the opener was the closest

more season. He has the shots

THERE are all kinds Of Federal aid and
there are all kinds Of communities with
hands outstreched trying to gather some OF
It In. The jaundiced eye that few cast at
this type of aid Is justified, no doubt, and
cities and towns and counties and States
would do well to take a fresh look at the
whole business and see if it isn't, in the long,
run, short-sighted policy. After all, it's
the individuals In the areas receiving the aid
who pay the Federal taxes and In some cases
there Ia little doubt but what 1t would be
wise to undertake financing at the local level
rather than look to Uncle Sam for such
support.
There Is one area of Federal aid, how
ever, that seems to be indisputably proper
and that is what the government calls pay
ment in lieu of taxes. 1t means that the
government doesn't actually pay taxes on its
real estate to a smaller political subdivision
but that it recognizes its responsibility to
help pay the freight when 1t owns such
hefty chunk of real estate in that county,
city or State that real hardship is worked
on the local taxpayers.
1t has been brought out that II the Fed
eral government paid taxes at the going rate
on all of its holdings in Montgomery County,
we would be $4 million year richer. That's
the equivalent of 40 cents on the tax rate.
Taxpayers should note bill now in
Congress which would make such payments
possible in areas such as Montgomery Coun-
tywhere the government does own vast land

bill should be supported by Montgomery
Countians and the best way to do this is
notify as many Congressman as you can Of
your feelings in the matter. The postage you
spend could bring big dividends on your tax
bill. t'

Dog Hit-Run

Asst week a county motorist was fined
l. SIS In a hit-rm case involving dog. /.
Testimony showed the accident occurred
during rush-hour traffic at Sligo Creek
plwy. and Colesville rd Silver Spring. The
motorist said he thought he hit the dog but
he saw it running away and traffic was so
heavy he couldn't very well stop. The dog
later recovered from its injuries.
If those facts are correct, it is difficult
to understand why the driver under such
circumstances should be hauled into court
convicted and fined. It would seem the
Humane Society official who pressed the
charges could find more important business
to occupy her time.

were built for cars not dogs. It is a sad,

The newly-organized Council for Better Edu-
cation can be instrument of good for the people
of this county. This is especially true if the Coun
Gil is successful in its first objective To arouse
general interest in, and support for, education.
In the general election last fall there were
almost 5000 votes cast for the two candidates
running for the United States House of Represen.
tatives There were more than $1,000 persons who
cast a ballot for the Governorship and almost
10000 for the State Senate. approximately 1900
voted for various candidates for the County Coun.
Gil. But there were only about $4,000 votes cast
for members of the School Board. And the first
and third districts attracted only 54708 and 5381S
votes, respectively.
1t isn't difficult to understand the need for
greater interest in public body responsible for
spending more than 10 percent of the tax dollar.
People should be concerned over educational spend
ing even though they do not have children in
school, It's great American tradition that good
sound, economical school system should be estab-
lished and maintained. And this can be accom-
pshed If a majority of the people will take keen
interest in what is going on in the field of school
instruction, construction and management.

Seeming scandal, the little group went after
their quarry hammer and tongs. How obsolete
were the textbooks, actually? they demanded to
know. BY what legal authority did the school board
act? Why weren't the textbooks sold? Couldn't
they have been used longer? Were any Of the books
subversive? The questions flew.
School officials patiently explained that all the
books had been found to be obsolete. Junk dealers
had been called and some offered to pay so cents
for each 100 pounds-provided the covers were
removed But this failed to molfy the critics. They
still thought they had something to exploit.
1t was interesting for this reporter to talk to
the officials in the District of Columbia who are
responsible for disposing of obsolete textbooks
there. To man, they said the problem was one
of their major headaches
For many years, the District sold the old books
to junk and trash dealers. But the last offer re-
ceived was five cents for each 100 pounds That's
a small fraction of one cent for each textbook
So they rejected that and now exploring plan
whereby book firm will examine all old books
and buy a few. We have bunch they'll Gull
through and pick out some and the old problem
will remain.
One official said the District gets lot more
for the paper trash it bundles up and sells to junk
dealers than it does for old school books. Maybe
1t wasn't very good issue after all
