Mike Nixon asked the ques-
tons yesterday at the Red
skins press luncheon. and one
Of the first was: do you think
! should be fired as the coach?"
Who got it? Me.
Such clearing Of throat,
scraping Of feet and shifting
Of chairs you've never seen or
heard. After some hemming
or having on our part. a fellow
reporter prodded us with.
Answer the question"
mo-" we decided. mike
should stay"
Unfortunately, George Mar
shall, the Redskins owner who
win make the ultimate decision
in Mikes case, was not In the
room. Later he was. and when
the question came up again
Mike was absent. However,
George left no doubt that
whether Mike is or isn't head
coach next year. he'll remain
with the club-if Mike wants
to, of course.
I'm not going to make the
mistake of letting another
good football man get away
from me-" Marshall declared.
II made q serious mistake in
letting Herman Ball 60 and
couldn't get him back. That's
not going to happen again."
Ball left the Redskins after
II seasons, including two as
head coach, to coach the
offensive line Of the champion
Baltimore Colts.
Marshall was reminded that
he might have trouble getting
another coach, If he decides
to make a change, because
people suspect him Of looking
lover the coach's shoulder, Sec
ond-guessing him, and trying
ito run the team via telephone
from his private box. He said
he never could get involved
with technical coaching" and
doesn't know the names or
numbers of the plays.
He admitted, however sug-
costing Jimmy Youell's quar-
terback sneak" actually a
naked reverse" against the
Philadelphia Eagles, which
clicked for SO yards and a
touchdown in q 1916 game.
He also called for the pass to
Gene Brito in his final game
as a Redskin in 1858. and the
onside kick that paved the
way for the dramatic 24-24 tie
with the favored New York
Giants earlier this season.
Maybe I'm an old-timer. :"
George said. Maybe I've lost
my touch. don't think so.
But no coach can blame me
for a losing season"
. Marshall also admitted he'd
made mistakes in personnel,
such as allowing Fred Davis,
Paul Stem and Alex Webster
to get away from Washington.
but not on the telephone. The
telephone in his box connects
with the box office, bandstand
and General Manager Dick
Mccain in the press box. To
whisper a word of advice to
Nixon on the sideline George
must 60 through channels, call
Mccain, who calls Bill McPeak
on the scouting phone. who
sends the pearl OF wisdom on
down to the field.
II am the only one in the
National Football League who
operates the game" George
said. and I try to operate it
professionally"
To give him his due, Marshall
has made an effort to keep
things moving at Griffith Sta
dunn on Sunday afternoons
and generally has succeeded.
This 1860 football team has
him stumped. If he could make
1t move he'd be batting 1000.

81 Sleepy Senators
Hold Key to Passage.

1t was by this time 5:45 am,
and it was cold and dark out

more haggard than before was
blithely greeted by Senator Hill,
who had the advantage of hav-
ing been up all night.
Everett, I've never seen you
looking handsomer," he said.
Senator Dirksen smiled
Ipalely.
BY 6:1O, the count was five
short and Majority Leader
johnson proposed that the
lsergeant-at-arns be instructed
to request the presence of the
absent Senators"
For half an hour the anxi-
Gus leaders peered down the
corridors as their colleagues
drifted in one by one, yawn-
ing.
Senator Magnuson, smoking
a forbidden cigar, replied with
out conviction to the derisive
good mornings" around him.
By 6:34 the number of 81 had
been reached again.
Senator Hill called for the
lectern prepared to embark on
a speech four inches thick. Like
all the Southerners, he ap-
peared fresh, modified, or
ganized, sure Of sleep.

Virginian. Who could put a
check on one of these referees
if he wanted to do a crooked
job? No one has control"

the referees could send to the
polls a whole new group Of
voters now barred by felony
convictions, alien status or in
sanity. He said poll watchers
might be held in contempt OF
court without a jury trial under
the administration referee plan
During the first night the
Southern orators averaged
about 4 hours at a time in
holding the floor. But they
have some in their group who
will go much longer as the fight
continues.
If the pro-civil rights Sena-
tors are willing TO continue, as
they did last night, to stay close
enough to the Senate to keep
the quorum calls short, they
have a good chance of winning
their fight. If they relax as
the gruelling session goes on,
and enable the Southerners to
take two or three hour rests
during quorum calls, the battle
could go on indefinitely.

1t was hell let loose"
A few tremors had been felt
yesterday afternoon, but they
were too slight to cause alarm.
One unconflrmed report from
Agadir said two Of every three
buildings in the European
quarter was destroyed. No
building taller than four stories
was undamaged.
The tidal wave did tremen-
dous damage in the area close
to the sea. The extent of fire
damage was not Immediately
reported.
Emergency hospital facilities
were being prepared in Casa

and other Moroccan cities
Medicines and relief supplies
were ordered from as far away
as Paris and Algiers.
Roads Obstructed
The Moroccan government
reported roads into Agadir had
been cut or covered with ruhble
in some places, and passage for
cars was difficult. Army con-
voys were ordered to push
through.
The first shock was the
strongest and caught many
persons asleep in their beds.
Walls caved in on them before
they could escape.
The first word of the quake
was a broadcast by the radio
station in Agadir, heard in
Casablanca. Telephone COM
munication with the city was
knocked out.
The initial shock was felt in
Safi, l30 miles UP the coast
from Agadir.
All five American bases in
Morocco were put on an emer-
gency status to join in the aid
work,
