OLYMPIC OUTLOOK
By RALPH c. CRAIG

Last week I said that in speed
skating q nation had to i'm
prove a lot merely to keep even
That is true in nearly all sports.
Later on in this series I'll give
some of the many reasons why
records are continually being
broken. This week let's talk
about keener worldwide COM
petition.
New world champions are
Springing up in every part Of
the globe, in large nations ard
in small, sometimes in the
most unlikely places. 1t is all
part of the tremendous increase
in interest in international
sports which has resulted from
the development Of the Olympic
Games.
The United States always has
been a leader in this develop
ment. 1t was one of the first
to export athletic know-how
Back in the early part Of this
century, Ernie Hjertberg, who
had coached in this country
returned to Sweden and de-
veloped some outstanding in
ternational teams. After the
1912 Olympics, a number of
American coaches went TO vari-
GUS countries. American coach
ing and training methods were
copied everywhere.
&&&
Today the exporting Of ath-
letic know-how is officially rec
ognized as beneficial. The State
Department has two programs
which finance trips Of coaches
and athletes who conduct clin-
tcs and give exhibitions in
every part Of the world. Men
IN charge of these programs
wish that their budgets were
larger so they could do more
Of it. The product in interna-
tional good will is very worth
while.
These programs will con-
tinue, but the cycle now has
run full swing. In many events
We are importing athletic know
how from other countries
Training methods-particularly
IN distance running-are now
being brought in from Australia
and the Scandinavian countries
Herb Elliot's success in distance
races, developed by his marvel
Gus coach. Percy Ceruty, has
been carefully studied by our
coaches. Scandinavian Fartlek
training has been copied by
many American coaches.

Maryland will play this year
played it right up the Terp's
alley. The Bulldogs crowded
their offensive blackboard In
vain attempts to get rebounds
Bunge, Bob Wilson or Jelus
would get the rebound and
whip the ball downcourt to
faSt-breaking teammates.
With Maryland shooting
more and scoring more, Yale
thus had the ball more than
most Maryland opponents and
ran up the highest losing score
ever made against one of Milli-
kan'S teams. Bill Madden and
John Dowd particularly were
sharp shooters. Madden hit
ting for II field goals and q
points and Dowd making six
of his seven shots.
Bunge is a tremendously i'm
proved ball player. II AL had
been in good health for all of
his varsity career, he would
have broken Shue's record and
many others long before this.
But he said he didn't think the
Yale game was his best Of the
season. Both Bunge and Milli-
kan thought AIS best effort was
in the second half Of a losing
effort against Indiana.
Coach Vancisin, whose Bull
dogs now have a 3-6 record.
said Maryland was too big.

not have been over Staten

Cured, Mr.. Quesada said.
Meanwhile, the Civil Aero
nautics Board announced that
public hearings on the disaster
would begin in Brooklyn on
January {.
Details Of the radarman's
warning to the TWA pilot were
disclosed in Mr.. Quesada's news
conference.
Mr.. Quesada explained to
|newsmen that normal procedure
after such a warning from the
radarman would have required
the TWA pilot to try to locate
the target" But this would
have been impossible Friday be-
cause Of the poor visibility.
Both planes were flying on
instruments.
AZ the time Of the collision,
the jet inbound from Chicago
was supposed to be circling
near Preston, N. j., awaiting
clearance to make q landing
approach at Idlewild Airport.
In effect. the radar observers
saw the jet proceed past Pres
ton to the point Of collision
near Miller Field on Staten

charge Of all civilian and mill
tary personnel operations.
The appointment Of Mr..
Keenan,. who also Is secretary
lof the International Brother
hood Of Electrical Workers, is
expected to be announced by
President.elect Kennedy soon
Government employe leaders
confidently expect the follow
ing to happen as a result OF
Mr.. Keenan's expected ap-
pointment:
/. An end to the practice Of
replacing civilian career en-
ployes with military personnel
In civil service jobs.
q. A drastic curtailment OF
the program Of contracting out
to industry the work that ia
normally done by civilian EN-.
ployes in the defense agencies
Both. Of these practices have
cost the jobs Of many thou
sands of civilian employees and
threatened the jobs Of many
more.
Federal employe leaders feel
that employe grievances and
appeals would be more salts
factorily handled under Mr..
Keenan,. They also see hope for
more Federal employe repre-
sentation on defense wage
boards which set the pay Of
Government per diem (blue
collar) workers.
As one Government employe
leader put It:
"The appointment Of Joe
Keenan, as Assistant Secretary
for Manpower will be q god
send to civilian employees In
the defense agencies. For the
flrst time in many years en-
ployeS win have o strong friend
and one who Is sympathetic
to their aspirations. For too
long military personnel have
received preferential treatment
over civilians. and military
commanders have often arbl-
trarily abridged the rights Of
civilians who worked under
them. We feel confident that
things are going to be o lot
different from now on"
SENATE GROUP-Don Ker-
lin, assistant staff director OF
the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee, will probably be named
staff director when the group
holds its first meeting Of the
new Congress next month. The
Job of staff director is being
vacated by Bill Brawley, who
has just been appointed Deputy
Postmaster General by Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy.
Mr.. Kerlin has the strong
support Of Government and
postal enploye groups. Is well

ernment agency ofncials with
