Has CIV Improved I?

A COACH with a 3-5 record
"A behind him and the lob of
rebuilding the heart of his forward
wall ahead of him hardly is in
a position to be optimistic. Yet
Eugene (Bo) Sherman, suddenly
the dean of the Washington area
coaches, holds out hope for his
George Washington Colonials.
The Colonials figure to finish
about halfway down in the South
ern Conference standing, back of
such favorites as West Virginia,
Virginia Tech, The Citadel and
VMI. Still, they'll probably make
it an interesting season, as they
did in SO, despite winning only
three Of eight games.
Coach Sherman got a break last
spring when Eddie LeBaron. the
famed Little General" of the Red
skins, assisted the CIV quarter
backs during spring drills. LeBaron,
a law student at CIV who also
was pressed into advisory service
at Notre Dame, was credited with
sharpening both Ed Hino, the
veteran quarterback, and Chuck
Packan, next in line.
Even the most optimistic CIV
rams were surprised at the
improvement of Hino and Packan
when they edged the Alumni last
spring, 20-18, on a come-from-
behind passing game.
The Colonials traditionally are
thin" as far as material goes, and
Sherman must choose his Nos.
and 2 units with great care. The
coach has built one unit around
dependable veterans like center
Ron DeMelfi, fullback Duane
Wholesome, Hino and guard Henry
Busky. The other unit is anchored
by tackle Pete Wasilewski, guard
Bob Barbiere, fullback John Wilt
and Packan.
1t was with deep regret that
Sherman noted the graduation of
Don Herman, his left end and a
pair Of All-Southern Conference

Mrs. Werner Saws

willing to accept a leading role
in a organized fight to rid
Maryland of slot machines and
that she believed they would

ert e. Mclaughlin said last
night there may be q 81 million
revenue surplus at the end Of

that the tax rate has been left
unchanged this year.

A public hearing will be
called to air suggestions as to
which taxes should be increased
and to what extent.
Schuyler Lowe, director Of
the Districts Department Of
General Administration, said
the official surplus estimate for
fiscal 1860 is only $500, 900. The
50 million estimate made by

Cuban Judges Hit
For Freeing Critic

HAVANA, July IL (AP).-
The veteran Cuban judge, Man.
uel Gomez Calvo, and two other
magistrates have been accused
by the Justice Ministry of vio-
lating a decree suspending the
right Of habeaS corpus.
The accusation resulted from
the freeing of Enrique Llaca, jr.
Havana lawyer and writer, who
was imprisoned after writing q
series of articles critical Of
the revolutionary government
program, on a writ of habeas
corpus.
Mr.. Llaca was released two
weeks ago, but Immediately was
arrested again by government
agents. Premier Fidel Castro
then ordered his release, but
asserted the issuance Of a writ
of habeas corpus was an error
and the government could prove
him a conspirator. Mr.. Llaca
has taken asylum in the Chilean
embassy.
Judge Gomez said today the
issuance of the writ was fully
justified. He said Mr.. Laca's
detention for more than a week
was not legal since he had not
been placed at the disposition
Of any court or investigating
agency.
The accusation against the
judges is now before the SUI
preme court. There is no indi-
cation Of what a decision might
entail, except that it might void
the habeas corpus writ. Court
officials said the accused judges
are continuing their functions.

Democrat Of Illinois, fired back
yesterday at critics on the

the assertion he knew "for a
fact that some members have

Mr.. Pucinski, a Chicago

OF a row in the committee last

to press or labor union repre-
sentatives.
He denied he was demanding
individual roll call votes on all
proposed amendments to a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT reform bill
and giving the individual voting
breakdown to outside sources
If alton is being
leaked, he said, a number OF
members could be suspected OF
doing it.
Mr.. Pucinski told a reporter
he was not the only one on the
committee who has called for
roll call votes. Others have also
asked for them, he said, and
added:
II know for a fact that two

been keeping a complete record
of all roll calls" He did not
name them.
