team will approach the 46
points piled up by Cardozo in
1857.
In the flve previous years,
only two schools have ION, Car
dozo in 1855, 1857 and 1858 and
Washington-Lee in 1856 and
last year. But there is a strong
possibility that by the time the
last event is run of, a school
other than Cardozo or WI will
be crowned champion.
Although several schools are
capable of beating out the
Clerks and Tor Generals for first
place, no one is being bold
enough to come out with q
selection.
Not necessarily in this order,
but Wakefield, Eastern, st.

garn should come down to the

On a basis of past perform
ances and returnees from last

the spectators attention.
THE sprints, of course,
always provide plenty Of action,
but the 1,000-yard run and 500
should be a good attraction, /"
Buddy Stein, track coach at
Wakefield, believes.

John Ball and Gary Arenson.
This pair also is in the $50
medley relay, with Ball leading
on and Arenson running an
chor. The Warriors won this
event last year.
Joe johnson figures strongly
in the 900. He ran a 1880 two
weeks ago against the Navy
PlebeS, only nine -tenths of a
second on the meet record.
Another Wakefield hopeful is
Vardell Nesmith, a junior. His
best time in the mile last year
was 1880. The meet record is

Bethesda Chevy Chase set q

Atlantic Association indoor

weeks ago. although its time
Of 1888 was quite a bit slower

Armory.
Two other teams that showed
well in the Baltimore meet
were Csrdozo and Eastern.
Cardozo won three Of the six
events, highlighted by Charles

Leon johnson finishing in that
order in the l.000-yard run.
Incidentally, the 1000 Satur-

One cf the worlds prettieSt
queens, Her Majesty Queen
Sirikit of Thailand. arrived
in Washington today and
took her first look at the
Nations Capital.
If it was a happy expert
ence for the youthful Queen,
it was no less happy for the
Capitalites taking a first
look at her.
The wife of young King
Bhumibol Adulyadej, who
has come for a four-dayv
state visit, Queen Sirikit
quickly won the hearts of
members of the greeting
party at MATS Terminal.
Poised
Queen Sirikit stood serene
and poised throughout most
of the Commute welcoming
ceremony and showed that
this type of function isn't
old hat with her.
AS the President escorted
the King from the stand to
review the troops, the Queen
started to follow. After a few
steps, she realized her mis-
take and turned, half
abaShed. half amused, to re-
turn to her place.
Secretary of State Chris
tian Herter, with a fatherly
look, quickly leaned in to en-
gage her in conversation and
relieve her embarrassment.
Later in the ceremony one
of the cellophane strips, used
to mark where the dignitaries
should stand, attached itself
to the Queens pump.
If she noticed it as she move,
from one place on the platform
to another, she gave no sigl
of it.
Finally, the sticky append
age caught the attention of
Chief of Protocol Wiley
Buchanan and a Thai Off
cial. When the Queen moved
to leave the stand, both men
simultaneously made a leap
at the marker and the Thai
diplomat stamped it off.
For her first arrival in
Washington, Her Majesty
was dressed all in pink.
She wore a Pierre Balmain
boxy suit of Thai silk with a
collar of pearls at her throat
and pearl and diamond ear
rings.
A diamond flower shaped
pin flashed at the neckline of
her jacket. Her long, dark
hair was tucked into a cap
of small pink blossoms.
Her accessories were white
kid gloves, a white calf bag
and white calf closed pumps.
AS she stepped off the
plane she was given a large
bouquet of deep-red roses by
| Mrs. Herter.

Other women in the well
coming party were Mrs.
Thomas D. White, wife Of .
the Air Force Chief of Staff;
Mrs. Visutr Arthayukti, wife
of the Thai Ambassador
here; Mrs. U. Alexis Johnson,
wife of the American Am
bassador to Thailand; Mrs.
Wiley Buchanan, and Mrs.
Robert E. Mclaughlin, wife
Of the President of the Board
of the District Commis-
sioners.
Queen Sirikit spoke a few
words to each of them as she
passed down the line.
Children Not Here
The mother of four young.
sters, Her Majesty brought
the children along on this
trip to the United States.
But because the Washington
portion of a state tour is
notoriously strenuous. the
children are staying at the
La Verne (CalifD home Of
Assistant Secretary of Com
merce and Mrs. Henry
KearnS.
According to a Thai press
officer, the children are
spending their time until
they rejoin their parents in
Boston practicing their Eng
hsh with two American girls
who volunteered this service.
The Thailand visitors
lunched informally today at
the Presidents guest house
and tonight are being hon.
ored by the Eisenhowers at
dinner at the White House.
Reception Set
At 3:15 today His Majesty
was to place a wreath on
the Tomb of the Unknowns.
The next scheduled stop was
at the Lincoln Memorial,
after which he was to attend
the reception being given for
them by the Joint Committee
of Press, Radio and Tele-
vision Correspondents and
News Photographers in the
Crystal Room of the Shera-
ton-Carlton Hotel.
Tomorrow, the second day
of the Thailanders' four day
visit, will start with a 9:l0
am. visit to the Library of
Congress, to be followed by a
visit to the National Ar
chives.
Later that afternoon the
King will place a wreath at
the Tomb of George Wash
ington at Mount Vernon.
Secretary of State and
Mrs. Herter will give a state
dinner in honor of Their Ma
jesties at Anderson House
that evening.

Comments Asked
To Opening Time
Pheasants

Numerous inquiries have been
directed to the Fish and Game
Department concerning the noon
opening of the pheasant season,
according to w. j. Everin, direc-
tor.
The noon opening. Everin point
ed out, has been adopted during
The past few years as a sportsman
rancher relationship program.
This originated at the request of
landowners in the Flathead Valley
and the Fairfield Bench areas.
This opening hour has no game
management application.
Pheasants are found primarily
in the congested, irrigated valleys.
This creates a real safety prob
lem, especially on the first day
Of hunting. Another reason, Ev-
erin said, was that many of the
ranchers near large population
centers did not appreciate being
awakened before daylight by
Sportsmen wishing to hunt or
their land.
The commission is inviting com.
ments from sportsmen and ranch.
ers concerning the noon opening
for this coming season. The Oc'
tOber meeting, when pheasan
regulations will be adopted, j

ers and points out the failures OF
bounty systems currently in use
in 33 states. DIR. Roger Latham,
the pamphlets author, contends
chat bounty payments are con-
tinued in most states because OF
tradition rather than factual evil
dence of benefits received.
He says that in the light OF
present day economics, bounty
payments do not contribute much
to the welfare of many indivldu-
ais; predator populations are &C
tuaIly increasing in many areas
despite bounties; and states with
bounty systems have no greater
game populations than those
without.
He further states, "It has been
proved over and ove again that
game supplies can be increased
greatly by habitat improvement
work without amy accompanying
predator control effects"
