Dodgers Bidding for White,
Retired Red Sox Catcher

White. regarded as one Of the
finest defensive catchers In the
majors, was traded to Cleve-
land just before the 1860 sea-
son opened. He refused to re-
port and sat out the season.
At the time he was involved
in the construction Of a bowl
ing alley and cocktail lounge in
Boston. Both are now operat-

Gated whether he may return

Wind Drying Out Laurel Course;

Gusty northwest winds, fine

of 10000 assembling at Laurel
today for the ninth running Of
the 500, 900 Washington, D. c.,

which again has drawn around:
the-world interest.
There was unusual concern
about the footing Of the 1-mile
infield turf course, which was
soaked by heavy showers yester-
day. Sunshine and strong
breezes, however, were working
their magic, much to the de-
light Of handlers Of the favored
Bald Eagle, the 8-5 favorite
who wanted it as dry as pos
sible.

Star stan Writer

A prominent but undisciosed
syndicate backing Bill Werher
as general manager for the new
Washington baseball franchise
is pleading with President Joe
Cronin of the American League
for an extension of time. The
group admits that unless it is
granted time it will drop from
contention.
If the league reaches a deci-
sion Thursday we're out" de-
clared Werber, former major
lesguer who now is an insur-
ance executive here. I'VE sim
ply need more time to do every
thing that has to be done.
Some Of our people are out Of
town and won't return until q
week from Monday.
Our situation thus is not a
healthy one" Werber continued.
We're writing to Cronin ask
ing for more time, because it's
impossible to reach syndicate
agreements and arrange finan-
cial matters, in such a short
time" Werber's group has
arranged for a 50 million loan
from one Washington bank.
Delay Unlikely
It is extremely unlikely that
the league will delay the award
Of the franchise beyond Thurs
day. when clubowners will meet
in New York to consider ap-
plicants. Time already is
working unfavorably against
the league in its avowed inten-
tion to place teams on the field
here and in Los Angeles next
season.
On the surface, at least, the
syndicate governed by retired
Admiral John j. Bergen, head
OF the Graham-Paige Corp,
which controls Madison Square
Garden. seems to have a dis
tinct advantage in negotiations
at this point.

Quesada has stated he will not
resign his position as Federal
Aviation Agency administrator

his group landed the franchise,
but 1t is believed that plan
would be opposed by some
owners.
It isn't o clear field for the
Bergen contingent, what with
other groups maneuvering in
the background, but among
those admittedly seeking the
franchise he appears to be the
most solid contender.
Jerry Hoffberger, president OF
the National Brewing Co., and
q % per cent stockholder In the
Baltimore Orioles, could enter
the picture, but so far there has
been no word Of him disposing
OF his interest in the Orioles.
He would be forced to sell out
in Baltimore in order to acquire
an interest in the Washington
franchise.
List to Be Pared
Bob Rodenberg and Jack Blau
are authors of separate plans to
operate the franchise through
public stock offerings. but the
inability Of other owners to
screen principal stockholders
and guard against unsavory
characters becoming part of
such organizations seemingly
would doom their prospects.
Owners have been summoned
to New York Wednesday by
Cronin. They are expected to
sift applications at that time
and perhaps pare the list to one
or two groups for voting pur-
poses the following day.
One Of the barriers to opera
ton in Los Angeles was re-
moved yesterday when the Coli
scum Commission approved 81
playing dates for the new Amer
ican League club in the huge
stadium. The commission also
approved n home dates for the
Los Angeles Dodgers. Both
teams will pay 10 per cent rent,
with concessions revenue going
to the commission.
1t is likely in Cronin's elec-
tion-eve meeting with owners
that plans for distribution of
players for the two new teams
will be determined. Several
methods have been offered SO
far, but none has been ap-
proved.

MANY centuries ago, the Greek geog-
1V1 rapher Eratosthenes took on the
problem: How big is the earth?
Today, he would find modern map
makers poring more intently than ever
over that question, much expanded.
With rockets chasing the moon, de-
fense missiles at the ready and aircraft
plying increasingly crowded skies, their
problems are more pressing And their
tools are infinitely more complex.
Perhaps few people realize how de-
pendent society is upon the photographer.
Industry's market analyst, the highway
engineer and the city planner are only
three among many who need his guild
ance.
Even fewer are aware of the many
specialized fields tapped by modern
cartography: Geodesy, the science of
highly accurate earth measurements;
photography the charting of ocean coasts
and floors photogrammetry, the mapping
of land features from air photographs;
photographic design and the bordering
fields of navigation, geophysics, geog-
raphy and oceanography.
The complexity of electronic and
optical instruments demands ground
ing in physics and electronics The car
tographer must also study astronomy
mathematics and statistics and their ap-
plication to precise surveys. He must
understand the uses of maps and charts,

neering, geography, urban planning and

1t obviously was no small problem
that drew representatives of Federal

Obviously, such thing was absurd.
But it demonstrated the complexity of

to pare as much as possible from the
technical side-things students could
learn on the job. They concentrated on
theory.
What evolved was a cooperative
agency-university program leading to the
degree of bachelor of science in cartog-
raphy which the student may complete in
five years of study at the university and
on the job as paid government en-

SCHOLARSHIP AID" in the
June 30tR issue, seems to be the
logical starting point for a series
of frank and informative articles
by citizens interested in this
problem.
Although higher education IS q
matter Of vital concern to any
progressive community, the diff
culties involved In financing the
higher education of our students
receive little organized study,
and consequently, no action. Ac-
tually, the entire situation seems
to be yelled in mystery-the stu
dents suffering as a result.
/ am told that the Legislature
has appropriated $4O,0O0.OO to the
local Scholarship Fund, making
it possible for students to receive
yearly loans of approximately
100000. as AGAINST the $4,000
$4,000 available heretofore. None
of us would regard this sum as
adequate, but the Legislatures
action reveals a more realistic
grasp of the problem at hand.
Perhaps, the largest source OF
financial aid is virtually untapped!
WHY? Simply because parents and
students are not aware of the
ways Of securing this aid. Isrefer
to grants from the colleges or
universities of t h e students
choice. For some strange reason,
persons who are otherwise well
informed, know absolutely no
thing of the very simple proce-
dures in applying for and obtain
ing these scholarships for their
children. They do not realize that
it is the college or university
which makes the award, and that
this award is based upon the stu
dents record, coupled with his
need for financial assistance.
