give them up is not to pre-
serve peace and freedom" he
declared.
Mr.. Cousins has denied that
his program would cripple
either Britain's own defense or
the NATO alliance. His posi-
ton. which is not clear to
many OF. those who have heard
his arguments, is that If Britain
gave up the H-bomb she would
insure herself against ever
being subjected to a nuclear
attack.
Could Force Resignation
The Scarborough conference
will be made up Of delegates
representing local Labor Party
organizations, trade unions and
cooperative societies. It has no
specific power to unseat Mr..
Gaitskell. The party leader is
elected by Labor members Of
the two houses of Parliament.
However, an unqualified con-
ference defeat for Mr.. GaitSkell
would force him to resign as
party leader. Laborite sources
said.
Mr.. GaitSkell himself has
said he would not continue to
leads a neutralist party which
would prohibit Britain from
playing a role in Western de-
fense. And he and other mod
crates think Mr.. Cousins ban
the-bomb line could keep the
party from winning power in
Britain for the next 20 years
or longer.

An All-Star game between the Montgom-
cry County League and the Tri-County League
of Arundel Howard and Prince Georges takes
place at the Gaithersburg Ag. Center at 2:30
pm. Sunday, but the names of the participants
at this writing are floating around the County
like the first names and correct spelling of
players Names who, in other days, hit home
runs, pitched shutout games, and generally per
formed in manner befitting ball players who
like to get their names in the paper.
Each spring press release is sent out by
the League telling of the organizational meet
ing of the League usually held in the home of
Merton Duvall, long time president of the de-
crepit but still useful organization. Others are
threatened throughout the season.
Two weeks ago a meeting was held by
Mr. DuvalI at which time he demonstrated
with team managers for not reporting the
results of their games. Result, nothing.
What the hell is the matter with this
league? Soon the league will have one of the
better boys baseball programs in the country
feeding adult ball players into its ranks, but if
some sort of leadership doesn't step forward
to pull the league onto its feet, sponsors will
associate investment in baseball with rolling
greenbacks into the gutter.
There are now two weekly newspapers
which carry sports news in Montgomery Coun-
ty Both of these papers are eager to help the
league, if indeed it wants help.

Time filters on, the complexion and the
landscape face of the County may change but
the Montgomery County Baseball League rat
ties on at the same old pace like the old boil
weavel 'just looking for a home"
Again at mid-seasOn this year it's any
bodys guess as to who Is leading the
league but in contrast to a few years back
it seems number of people care. The
crowds watching the county's completely
amateur brand of Sunday baseball are re-
ported to be larger than for several years.
Two new teams, Laurel Stars and the
Wheaton Lumber have given the league little,
if not new, at least different blood. (But what
happened to the two old teamsD
Obviously the people would come out to
watch good Sunday games if they knew where
they were played and at what time, but let's
not try to take too many jumps all at once.
A nice easy questionable who's playing?-
might do for starter before the cold. hard
questionable who played last

The Rockville Merchants were dumped
out of second place in the league by rea-
son of forfeit of two games for use of an
ineligible player. This is not too unusual
because Redland dropped out of a first
place tie with Sandy Spring for the same
reason.

cannot be measured In dollars
and cents.
Most of the parties are fun.
Most people are nice and a
pleasure to be with. Most of the
shippers will do their very best
to put you on fish and help you
have a good trip.
Theirs is one party, however,
that will make a charter boat
captain wish he was in another
business. Let's take a look at
how we can best put the skip
per in the proper mood and to
really work for us and assure
us a good trip.
First, we will be sure to ar
rive at the dock half-crocked
with a dozen cases of beer and
one worm. This will let him
know right off that we mean
business and are real sports.
Also, we will be at least one
hour late and il we can make it
later, so much the better. We
will dismiss the fact that he
rolled out of his sack in the
middle of the night so he could
put us on the fishing grounds at
daylight; we will fish when we
want to fish-never mind when
the fish are accustomed to feed
ing.
As we traipse up and down
the dock trying to scrape up
equipment we should have got.
ten ready days ago, we take
plenty of time, no hurry. After
we have been underway for no
more than IS minutes, we will
begin to complain about how
much time it is taking us to get
to the fishing grounds.
This is accomplished with a
sharp quip like, what is this,
a boat ride or a fishing trip"
or maybe a real gasser like
Where are we bound, Hong
Kong?"
Now is also a good time to
tell him where to take us.
Never mind the fact that he and
his buddies have been fishing
every day and following the

real hot spot we Stayed them
at the last time we were down,
10 years ago.
When we arrive at the fish
ing ground, we will ignore the
bait boards he offers, and pro-
coed to cut our worms and
shrimp on his new canvas deck.
This is always good for a laugh
and If we can't manage to break
that rod we borrowed from him
by stepping on it, we can al
ways drop it overheard.
One final thing: We will al
ways bring along some wit who
will start some good old-fash-
Toned horseplay like throwing
somebody overheard. This is es-
pecially hilarious at night; the
fact that it is practically i'm
possible to find a man in pitch
black water only adds a little
spice to this business.
When we finally stagger in at
night, we can really tell the
bum off for the lousy trip he
gave us, and, as we are assur-
ing him in no uncertain terms
that we will never book his boat
again, we will notice that, for
the first time all day, the fellow
is smiling. Funny people, these
boat captains.
