Allison Ready
To Take ANY
Kind Of Hits
Boss BIomes Slump
On Weuriness, but
Doubts Are Rising
BY BURTON HAWKINS
star stan Writer


BALTIMORE, Sept. This
Is the only city in the American
League where Rookie Bob ALI
son has failed to hit home
run this season, but that hardly
is the problem Of the Senator's
centerf1elder In today's double
header with the Orioles. What
he needs, to bolster his own
confidence and to supply EVIL
dence pitchers haven't caught
up with him, are hits OF any
description.
In the Senator's last IS
games, Allison has been a 1853
hitter. At the halfway point
OF the season he seemed a
cinch to swat 200 or better.
but now he's struggling to keep
his average above .26O.
1t hasn't been a case of Bob
betting the ball right at some
body. He has famed Is times
In Is games and also thumped
into three double plays. In his
last seven times at bat he has
struck out five times, hit into
a force play and a double play.
Tired or Tabled
Allison still is likely to wind
up with the rookie-of-the-year
award, since he has 20 homers
going for him in addition to
the fact that he has played
well in the outfield. He could
be tired. which is the belief of
Manager Cookie Lavagetto, or
he could be succumbing to
pitchers who have him figured.
which is the gnawing fear of
a few others.
In yesterdays 81 loss to Bos-
tons Tom Brewer at Griffith
Stadium, Allison walked on his
first appearance. On the next
tree occasions he went down
swinging. There was some So
lace in the fact that Brewer
famed 10. but the way Bob
has been going lately it pro-
vided little comfort to have
company.
Brewer Gets Homer
Brewer restricted the Sena-
aors to five hits. the same al
lotment yielded to the Red Sox
by Pedro Ramos and Hal
Woodeshick. One of Boston's
hits was the customary homer
allowed by Ramos, who now has
permitted 30. and it was de-
livered by Brewer in the thNd
to put Boston in front, 10.
The Red Sox added a run
in the fifth when Don Buddin
doubled to center. took third
as Brewer grounded out and
scored on Pumpsie Green's
single to right.
Brewer walked six. giving the
Senators ample opportunity,
but they couldn't stir up a run
until the eighth, when they
should have produced two.
Bad Gamble Costs Tie
Lennie Green opened with a
single and was forced by Clint
Courtney before Pumpsie
Green fumbled Jim Lemons
grounder. Roy Sievers' dashed
a double over Jackie Jensen's
head in rightfield. scoring
Courtney, but when Ellis Clary
waved Lemon toward the plate
he was taking a big gamble
with small chance of success.
Pumpsie Green relayed the
ball to the plate and Lemon
was out by 10 feet. Harmon
Killebrew then smashed a deep
drive to center which became
the third out, but 1t would have
produced the tying run II
Lemon had been held at third
base.
Brewer, who won his ninth
decision. gave the Senators no
chance in the ninth. He famed

Bill On Scholarships
Is Backed by Women

Political patty-cake with State.
granted college scholarships
was scored recently by the
Rockville Branch of the Ameri-
can Association of University
Women.
The group passed a resolution
supporting a bill that would
grant scholarships on the basis
of need and merit-instead of
the custom of political patron
age.
Such bill will be introduced
at the next session of the Mary.
land General Assembly by Dele
gate Blair Lee III, of Montgom.
cry County.
Lee will introduce the bill de-
spite the fact that the Legisia-
tive Council last summer re-
fused to endorse it. Recommen.
dations similar to those in the
bill were made by the Marbury
Commission back in 1947 but
nothing come of them.
Chief point in the bill is that
students would have to main.
tain a &C" average or lose the
scholarship. No scholastic level
is required under existing legis-
lation that first went into effect
before the turn of the century,

of the neighborhood environ
ment. Both are attractive in APP
pearance, they say.
Opinions and arguments aside,
should the Council refuse to re-
consider its action and the APP
peal is carried to the Circuit
Court, the Court can rule only
on one question: was the coming
granted in an arbitrary, capri
cious or discriminatory manner.
The Court may not rule on
whether the Council was right
or wrong in its action, but only
in the manner in which that
action took place, according to
County Attorney Alfred H. Car
ter.
The citizens can take the petit
ton to the Maryland Court of
Appeals if the Circuit Court
denies it. And there is painful
rub for the appellants.
The Appeals Court has held in
many such coming cases that
special exceptions can of them
selves constitute enough evi.
dence to change the character

The appellate court has heard
Is coming appeal cases from
Montgomery County in the last

that the County Attorneys Of

any case before the court, zon-
ing or otherwise.
A grit of irony is provided by
the fact that Carter, whose job
it will be to defend the Coun-
TVS position if the petition is de-
MED, is a member of the very
civic association bringing the
petition.

State Division of AAUW, threw
her support behind the Lee
sponsored bill.
She pointed out that each
State Senator has six scholar
ships to hand out each year, and
each Delegate has one. Some are
for tuition only, some for board
and books as well.
The new bill would provide
for tuition scholarship only.
Mrs. Wagner said. She also SAID
some ramifications of enabling
legislation required so much adj
ministration that Washington
College, Chestertown, has never
aVailed itself of them.
In many instances in the past,
she charged, State Senators and
Delegates used the scholarships
as patronage payoffs. "They
even have been known to swap
scholarships among them
selves" she said.
Provisions of existing State
granted scholarships, Mrs. Wag,
ner said, enable students to re.
main in schools even if they are
not getting passing grades. The
Lee-sponsored bill, however,
would keep a tight academic
rein on students, she said.

forcementS sent from Communist
China, Peiping radio last week
admitted that the Tibetan rebels
were getting support from Chinese
dissidentS in bordering provinces.
The old province of Sikang,
now part of Szechwan on the
T1betan border, has been furnish
ing material and manpower to
the bands of Tibetan tribesmen

ping admitted. The wording of
the Peiping statement lent Gre
dence to unconf1rmed reports
from Hong Kong earlier in the
week that Communist Chinese
troops in Sikang had revolted and
Joined the Tibetans.
The Peiping government has so
far been treading cautiously in
the dangerous field of Tibetan re-
ligious beliefs and attachments.
The Dalai Lama, now a refugee in
India where he is being treated
with great correctness by the
Nehru government. is still being
referred to with respect by the
Communists, who claim he has
been kidnapped by the rebel
forces. A Communist backed gov
eminent headed by the Panchen
Lama, co-equal with the Dalai
Lama in spiritual matters, has
been set up at LhaSa.

The area Of disagreement, COM
plicated by an avowed uneasiness
in Bonn over British intentions,
involves basically the extent to
which the West should go in tying
the question of German reunifi-
cation to the larger question Of
European security.
Tacitly, even the West Germans
appear to accept the impoSsibility
of achieving Identification of the
two German states at this time.
But any plan that would enhance
the political stature of Communist
East Germany. even without for
NAL Western recognition, is ada
mainly opposed by Bonn.
Possibly even more aggravated is
the disagreement existing between
the British and the Germans over
the "disengagement" issue - the
mutual withdrawal of the armed
forces of NATO and the Warsaw
Pact nations from a predetermined
zone Of central Europe. Disengage-
ment as originally proposed mas

Gil. But there is strong sentiment.

THE WEEK TN PERSPECTIVE
A Gradual Plan For Germany

satisfactory to both Germany and
Britain, there is no certainty nor
even much hope that they would
be acceptable to the Russians. Be-
yond the specific demands on the
status Of West Berlin, Mr.. Khru-
shchev has kept his counsel on So
Wet negotiating positions. In gen.
eral, however. there is no expecta-
ton that the Soviet Union would
accept any Western proposal that
continued NATO's Importance in
Europe, or above all any plan that
could possibly lead to a reunited
Germany free to rearm and free
to align itself with the West.
Whatever the role of Mr.. Aden-
auer in the future government Of
the German Federal Republic, his
policies will probably prevail. His
most likely successor in the chan
cellory is Ludwig Erhard, Minister
OF Economics and a leader of the
Christian Democratic Party. An
other candidate is Minister of FL
nance Franz Etzel. Mr.. Adenauer
will have the decisive say, it is
taken for granted, as to his sue
ceSsor.

Politics.:
New Chairman

One of the traditional prerog-
atiVeS of the President of the
United States is the right to name
his party's national chairman.
Thus, in the protest of some
G. o. P. conservatives against Sen
ator Thruston Morton, it was clear
that if Mr.. Eisenhower insisted
on Mr.. Morton, Mr.. Morton would
be the new Republican chairman.
BY the time the 10-member
G. o. P. Nominating Committee
met with the President Friday in
Augusta, the word had gone out
from the White House that the
Kentucky Senator was Mr.. Eisen-
hower's first and only choice to
take the place of retiring Chair
man Meade Alcorn.
For the record, the President
informed the nominators that he
would be pleased" if they selected
Mr.. Morton. The Senator, a ST.
year-old former Assistant Secre-
tary of State. was duly elected yes
terday by the full G. o. P. Ma
tional Committee.

Secretary Will Decide

There was no confirmation of
reports that Mr.. Dulles had al
ready decided to return to his
desk for the duration of the Ber-
lin crisis. But neither was there
any denial that he was intent on
doing so, his health permitting.
At the White House the word
remained that the decision was
entirely up to the Secretary him
self. A radio networks report
that Mr.. Dulles would resign be-
fore May l brought indignant de-
mails and a demand for a retrac-
ton from Press Secretary James
Hagerty.
Plainly, the presence or absence
of those two stalwartS, the least
flexible" of all the Vests states
men in their attitudes toward
negotiations with the Krenilin,
was of greatest significance to
the possible course of international
affairs.
Mr.. Dulles ana Mr.. Aoenauer
have, of the past few years, come
very close to a complete rapport
personally and politically. For
more than three years it has
been apparent to many close OBJ
servers that Mr.. Dulles was COM
ing to rely more and more on the
tough old Federal Chancellor than
he did on his British or French
counterpartS. This policy accord
did not date only from the tenn
porary estrangement Of 1856
among the Big Three after the
British French invasion of Egypt.
Rather it was the logical result
of a shared political outlook, the
Importance of which was steadily
enhanced by the increasingly vital
role West Germany has been COM
ing to play in NATO and in the
councils of Western Europe gen.
orally.

MiddIe-of- the-Rooder

The new Republican chief is
regarded as a middle-of-the-
roader but viewed with suspicion
by G. o. P. right-wingers. He has
publicly stated his preference for
Vice President Nixon as the party's
1860 presidential candidate, but
privately pledged strict neutrality
in the contest between Mr.. Nixon
and Gov. Rockefeller of New York.
He plans to retain the seat in
the Senate which he won in 1856
with some campaign help from
President Eisenhower, who has
long regarded him as one of the
corners" in the G. o. P.
The active role played by Mr..
Eisenhower in the choice of the
new G. o. P. chairman could be
taken as formal notice that he
does not intend to relinquish any
part of his influence over the COM
plexion Of the party between now
and 1860. There was a hint of
warning, too, to the resurgent
right wing with whom Mr.. Eisen-
hover did battle in 1852 in his
defeat of the late Senator Taft
for the G. o. P. nomination.
After settling on Mr.. Morton,
Republicans picked Chicago as
the site of their 1860 convention.
The nominating session will open
July Is, two weeks after the
Democrats convene in Los Angeles.
Chicago offers the advantage of
neutral ground in the expected
battle between Mr.. Nixon and
Mr.. Rockefeller. 1t also provides
an appropriate setting for a con-
vention that will mark the Tooth
anniversary of the nomination of
Abraham Lincoln by the G. o. P.
in Chicago in 1860.
