Two Young Swimmers
Attaining Top Rank

Thomas Murphy. a st. Johns
student, and Suzanne Gardiner
of the Potomac Swimming
Association have established
themselves as the young swim
ming stars of the season here.
Murphy, representing Con-
gresSional Country Club, added
another record to his collec-
ton last night in the A. Earle
Weeks Memorial meet at Ia
koma Pool. He swan the 200
yard freestyle in 2:00.2 for a
meet record. A week ago he
broke the District AAU 1900
meter record.
Miss Gardiner, who won the
women's 1.500-meter title last
week, was a double winner. She
took the 100-yard freestyle in
1:02.7, and the 200-yard free
style in 2:19.
Another star Of women's
events last night was Terry
Bracken of the K. c. Orchards
She won The Evening Star
trophy by taking the 200-yard
backstroke in 2:47.2.
Two age-group swimmers set
records, Eileen Corillo in the
girls HIP breaststroke and

DIAGNOSIS: Not a valid
complaint.
TREATMENT: I'm setting
up this complaint so as to
preach against a false notion
that continues among golfers
despite the fact that all the
best teachers have been knock
ing it down for years.
Just recently I was asked
for the umpteenth time how
the professionals like myself
get so much wrist action" in
the shot The fact is that there
are no muscles in the wrists
that have to do with hitting
a golf ball. In the golf swing,
the wrists merely act as hinges.
The golf ball is hit with the
body, the shoulders, the arms
and, most particularly. the
hands. You can see this plainly
in the accompanying illustra-
ton. Actually, each of the COM
ponent parts I have named de-
livers its power to the shot in
the order I have listed them.
But that probably is getting
a little too involved with the
theory of the swing. The point
I want to make here is that
if you want to improve your
swing. forget about wrist
action!

CIV Star Fires
Silver Hill 10
First-HaIf Title
BY CARL SELL
Star stan Writer

Dennis Hill, 5-foot-5, 150-
pound. star lefthander for Sill
yer Hill, has the first-half
championship Of the Industrial
League tucked in his pocket,
and from all indications the
second-half title also could
wind UP there.
Hill yesterday pitched a two
hitter as Silver Hill defeated
the FBI, 10. in a playoff game
on the West Ellipse. Both
teams had ended the regular
season with 7-3 records.
Silver Hill meets the Union
Printers at $50 pm. today on
the Ellipse to begin the second
half Of the schedule.
Hill, the George Washington
University star, threw a varied
assortment Of curves and sliders
that kept the FBI batters of
balance. He struck out i've
and issued only one walk. 1t
was his first victory in the
league.
Billy Carroll, manager and
top pitcher for FBI, almost
matched Hills performance
for five innings. He had to re-
tire after he was struck on the
right ankle by a line drive in
the sixth inning.
FBI's two hits of Hill came
in the third and sixth innings.
Mike Allmar got a scratch sin
gle in the third. Bob CHASER
got the only solid hit, q single
to right in the sixth.
Steve Bauk. a former CIV
pitcher, hurled the last three
innings for FBI. Silver Hill
got two hits of Carroll and
the same number of Bauk.

in hot weather.
Too many people think a
fisherman is a lazy dolt who
likes to loll on a bank or in a
boat and dangle a line in the
water. That's a laugh.
Far more often fishing in
wolves hard work and a lot Of
knowledge. That last is very
important. Few men, even in a
lifetime, can know more than
half of what there is to learn
about fish and fishing.
Wading Hard Work
Take the Rappahannock. It's
an interesting river. 1t can be
fished many ways, by boat,
from the bank or by wading.
The latter involves hard work,
especially if you pick a section
like Fred did.
Fred chats Fred O'Rourke,
the Bethesda sportsman
thought he could take us to a
place that wasn't fished very
heavily, a stretch of the Rap
pahannock that every so often
produces a 4 or S pound small
mouth.
Bass bite best early or late,
so we planned noon trip that
would allow us to fish until
dark, to hit that magic hour
at dusk when the big ones
should be eager to take the lure.
When Fred arrived we were
ready with two dozen carefully
selected spinnerS and plugs
slowed with assorted bottles of
pork rind in a plastic spinning
box handy to carry over the
shoulder. Left behind was a
bottle of black eel strips. That
was mistake No. l. Mistake
No. 2 was to take rubber wad-
ers.
We took Route l to the juno
ton of Route II just this side
of Fredericksburg and then
turned right on II for about is
miles to a fork to the left that
leads through the town OF
Sumerduck.
Eventually we crossed Kelly's
Ford and again turned left to
a farm from whose owner Fred
had permission to treSpass.
There are easier access points
but these usually are heavily
fished.
This was the upper end of
the Wilderness of Civil War
fame but now region of mixed
agricultural as we'll as heavily
forested lands. Only 4 miles
away was RichardSville, near
which Jackson was accidentally
shot by one of his own men. A
little further was the battle
field of Charlottesville.
Arriving at the fringe of a
thickly wooded strip along the
river bank, we prepared for
action, donning lightweight
waderS, heavy socks and felt
bottomed canvas wading shoes.
Felt bottoms provide the best
grip on moss-slippery rocks.
Fred dressed much more

BY the time we reached the
river bank the waders were
wet inside with perspiration
and the cool water was a relief.
The river was clear. excellent
for fishing, but low, extremely
so, with mud emerging here
and there.
The left bank was in shade
and as we started upstream
we began casting crippled min
nows and other small sur
face plugs into the shadows
close to shore where the bass
should be lurking.

understood smallmouth that he
released unframed. He also
got the second. this time a

hooked a bluegill on a plug

Up to that point we thought
we had found solitude on this
peaceful watercourse. The only
sign of life had been the rustic
of a harmless water snake slip

sudden there was a crash on
the right bank and what looked
like a bulldozer appeared. That
was Shock No. /.
Shock No. 2 was on a mud
bank where we discovered fish
ermen's footprints. dozens OF
them. Solitude? Bosh!
Wading Hard Work
The gravelly bottom into
which shoes sank several inches
made hard work of the toiling
through low water upstream
and we perspired freely. BY
late afternoon we trudged
YEARLY back to the starting
point and turned downstream
toward a stretch Of deeper
water.
That was where Fred finally
found what the bass wanted, a
black rubber eel, a Creme lure.
They would grab it, tug gently,
mouth it a bit and sometimes
finally take it. He hooked sew
eral until a savage strike tore
off the lure. Then he tried a
black pork rind eel on a plain
NEEDLESS hook, which worked
equally well.
We tried a borrowed eel on a
Hawaiian Wiggler with red,
weighted head, but had no luck.
BY the time we realized that
the head was robbing the eel
of its fluttery action in the wa
ter, it was time to quit.
How flnicky can a bass get?

One More Hurdle Cleared

The size and the composition Of the
French National Assembly bloc opposing
President de Gaulle's sensible plan for
settlement Of the Algerian problem
provide a telling commentary on
French sentiment in this agonizing
matter. Virtually buried under a 441-2S
vote Of confidence for the austere gen.
eral, the opposition numbered only a
hard core of 10 Communist deputies and
bakers dozen of independent assem-
blymen of no clear party persuasion.
Among those absent or abstaining was
another irreconcilable handful of nine
extreme rightistS who, of course, have
nothing in common with the Assembly
Reds except determination to fight
any wise or statesmanlike approach to
the Algerian problem.
The outcome, in short, was a de-
served victory for formula land its
architect) that is built upon the equi-
table principle Of Self-determination-
right to be exercised by popular refer
endum when there is an end to violence
and blood-letting. Offered then to the
Algerian people are three alternatives
formal Indignation into metropolitan
France, status Of limited autonomy
within the French community, or seces-
sion and complete independence.
Armed with this overwhelming par
liamentary Endorsement, President de
Gaulle has been tremendously strength
ened in his efforts to resolve a crisis that
has had deep and deplorable conse-
quenceS in France and Algeria, and a
disturbing impact far beyond the from
tiers Of both. But if this development
in the Paris Assembly marks another
significant step toward peace of the
brave" 1t is obviously only one of many
steps needed to travel the full road to
a final settlement. In debate preceding
the vote of confidence, for example,
Premier Debre assured that no French
military forces would be withdrawn
prior to "paciacation" position al
most sure to arouse renewed opposition
from the Algerian government in exile.
AS yet, in fact, there has been no public
agreement that Paris would recognize
the principal rebel organization, now
headquartered in TuniS, for political
negotiation at all.
In the background, however, there
are certain encouraging factors to sup
plement the Assembly vote. The signs
are clear that both sides are weary Of
the flve-year struggle, and that their
most responsible spokesman are aware
it cannot be settled by more years Of
the same. Morocco and TuniSia, once
French protectorates themselves and
having closest ties of kinShip with
Algeria, repeatedly have been seeking
to find an avenue of accommodation be-
tween the two parties now in conflict.
President de Gaulle has demonstrated
that his own ramrodlike appearance
is not synonymous with inflexibility Of
political judgment. The roadblockS still
in the path of settlement are not unre-
movable oneS-and in this fact there is
hope.

Not Only Weeds

There is growing community con-
Germ, which we share, over the snail
pace progress in rebuilding Southwest
Washington. Block after block Of valu-
able real estate lies in waste between
the Mall and the river, yielding nothing
but weeds, well-entrenched over several
seasons. More construction activity is
urgently needed. 1t is also fact, how
ever, that slum clearance of itself Gre
ates values of no small degree. Com
missioner Mclaughlin made this point
forcefully in recent appeal for urban
renewal programs in Northwest WASH
ington as a means of reducing crime,
delinquency and human misery in that
part Of the city.
Mr.. Mclaughlin cited statistics from
an old study to show the tremendous
incidence of crime and delinquency in
the downtown Northwest area, and
noted that police, health and welfare
costs there account for large part Of
the city budget. The same was true
In the old Southwest, where the Dis
trict's worst Slums were concentrated.
The simple act of Southwest demolition,
of course, has not wiped out all the
misery or all the expense. Some of the
problems have been tranSplanted to
other areas, and the net gain is
impossible to assess.
Mr.. McLaughlin's point, however,
was that a significant "Social gain" can
result from breaking up the worst cores
Of slums-the "unwholesome environ
ment where potentially decent young
sters are brought into the orbit Of active
delinquents." Relocation from the
Southwest, he said, has given "sone
evidence that the very act of displace-
ment is an awakening process which
results in completely new approach to
housing, and related problems by the
displacees."
These considerations are definite
part of plans for long-range war on
slums in every part Of the city.

Satellite Traffic Jam?

Since the sky is getting so full Of
man-launched flying objects that steps
have had to be taken to control their
signal tranSmitterS, it may not be too
fantastic to imagine day when space
ship traffic control will be necessary.
Indicative of the increasing activity in
space exploration were three news
stories in one day. One told Of the
boosting into orbit of another American
satellite, Explorer VII. Another dis
closed the sending Of an "anti-satellite
missile" to the vicinity of the orbiting
Explorer vi. And a third article re-
vealed more details of the planned
flight around the earth of our American
"aStronautS."
The latest Explorer" is the last
of series of satellites launched by the
United States as part of the Interna-
tional GeophySical Year scientific in
vestigations. It is supplying ground
stations with important information
about radiation belts, cosmic rays, mete-
ORIG showers and other phenomena of
interest to space proberS and weather
forecasterS. What we learn from the
Explorer satellites, the Sputniks and
the other space vehicles, past, present
and future, will help to insure the safety
of the first human explorers of the moon
and our fellow planets.
It is necessary, therefore, to in
crease our knowledge Of conditions out
in space as fully as possible with I'M
manned rockets and their payloads. But
the accumulation of hardware whizzing
around in the sky already is presenting
a communications problem of no little
concern to the rocketeers. In order to
avoid the cluttering up of signal chan
nels with messages no longer useful, the
scientists have decided to equip the
satellites with devices to cut off all
signalling after given time. Explorer
VII has been provided with such de-
vice. And the very fact that such steps
have become necessary attests the sue
cess which American and Soviet scien-
fists and technicians are having in OPEN
ing new pathways toward the stars.

New Southern Leader

Virginias Lindsay Almond is well
qualified to head up the 16-State South
ern Governors Conference during what
Is certain to be year of troubles.
After his election this week, re-
porters asked the Virginia Governor
whether he considered himself a mod
crate on the school desegregation issue.
Mr. Almond replied that he would not
classify himself either as moderate or
an extremist, but rather as a "conserva-
tive" This was a happy choice OF a
descriptive word, and it fits the Gov
ernor well.
He is conservative in the sense
that he understands that politics is the
art of the possible. 1t is most unlikely
that next year will find him leading any
Dixie Democratic march out OF the
party. Instead, he will strive for an
acceptable compromise within the party
ranks. He is also conservative on the
school question in the sense that he is
able to face the facts Of life and act
accordingly. Thus, following the col
lapse of massive resistance" which he
knew was doomed to failure, he is able
to say: "In Virginia, and, as antici-
pate, in other regions of the South, the
choice must be made-either close all
the (public) schools or accommodate
to the mandate of the Federal courts"
In Virginia, under Governor Almond,
this accommodation will take the form
of freedom of choice" at the local level
AS a conservative, Mr.. Almond will try,
as far as possible, to preserve public
education, and, where public sentiment
makes this impossible, to assist private
education. AS a practical matter, this
is the best that he can do. And 1t sets
an,example which, we think, will attract
a-following in many areas of the South.
