BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star staff Writer

Used as Sparingly as a piece
of heirloom china in the last
three games, Norman Snead
will start at quarterback when
the Redskins close out their
transforming tour against the
Green Bay Packers at Columbus,
Ga, Saturday night.
At the same time Coach Bill
McPeak, in a telephone con-
versation with The Star, dis
closed that barring a bolt
from the blue" he has settled
on Fullbacks Don BosSeler and
Jim Cunningham, and Half
backs Dick James, Sam Horner
and Lew Luce as the five run
ming backs he'll carry during
the 1861 NIL season.
Luce, a product of Wilson
High School, and Cunningham,
from the University of Pitts
burgh, are rockies.
Regroups Material
McPeak moved quickly yes
terday to regroup his material
after taking End Steve Junker
from the Detroit Lions in re-
turn for Fullback Johnny
Olszewski. The day before the
Redskins mentor obtained Dick
Lage, a rookie end, from the
Cleveland Browns for a 1862
draft choice.
Bill is looking beyond the
Packers game to the Red
skins league debut at San
Francisco the following week
and intends to rev" up the
passing attack.
The decision to start Sneao
was made after reviewing films
of the Redskins 1910 loss tc
the Eagles. The tall youngstel
from Wake Forest completed
only two of seven passes, but
his GOODNESS under fire and his
easy wrist-action were impress
sive.
Hes always gone in when
we were behind and the situa
ton obviously called for pass
ing" McPeak said. I'VE want
to give him an even start, let
him call some running plays
and see how he handles the
team"
The coaches will send in
some plays, of course, for this
will be a stern test for the o.
year-old newcomer. Green Bay

Senators Hell ping Mantle
Stay in Home Run Derby

"a 10th place finiSh-now
looms as a definite possibility.
They're only a half game ahead
of the last-place Athletics.
The Senators long ago gave
up any notion they had of fin
ishing the season ahead of the
Twins and as for avoiding 100
losses. even that mild accom-
plishment seems out of reach.
To do so the Senators need to
break even in their remaining
"a games. That seems unlikely
when you consider they have
lost 20 Of their last 81 and
since August / have compiled
a record of six wins and 81 de-
feats.
Roof Falls In
McClain was pitching a four
hitter and trailed, 81, going
into the seventh inning last
night. Mantle. whose majestic
wallop gave the Yankees their
first run in the second. opened
the seventh with a single to
left. John Blanchard then
drove a smasher that had First
Baseman Dale Long dancing
out of the way for his life.
That went for a double and
put Mantle on third. McClain
struck out Elston Howard and
walked Bill Skowron inten-
tionally to load the bases.
Clete Boyer sent ground
ball to short, but Bob Johnson
failed to pick it up and Mantle
scored. Blanchard came in on
a wild pitch and both Skowron
and Boyer scored on a single to
right by Bobby Richardson.

The American League is SC

Yankees that even youngsters

While Mickey Mantle belted
his 51st home run and New
York opened a 712-gsme bulge
in the penEant chase with a
81 breeze against Washington,
Lee Thomas, who started the
season with the Yankees, tied
the major league record with
nine hits in a double header
last night for the Los Angeles
Angels.
The rookie outfielder cid it
with three home runs, one a
Egrand-s slam; a double and five
singles in II a5-bats. But it
wasn't enough. The Angels lost

Tigers Continue Skid
Second-place Detroit contin-
ued a skid out of contention by
dropping a Al decision in the
completion of Mondays sus-

Tigers their sixth straight loss,

game.

Cleveland belted Boston, 9-5.
Thomas, Is, was 5-for-5, with
a double and four singles in the
first game for the Angels. He
ran his consecutive hit streak
through seven, with a single
and home run, before striking
out in the fifth inning of the
nightcap. He had eight RIB,

Mossi Loses Again
The Orioles wrapped UP the
carry-over game from Labor
Dav with lust a half-inrling of
work, then bopped the Tigers
again behind the three-hit
pitching of Chuck Estrada
Q2-8 and Steve Barber.
Estrada struck out II. but

First ChrisfmoS Seal
Issued In Denmark

One afternoon in the weeks be-
fore Christmas, postal clerk in
Denmark named Einar Holboll was
busy sorting piles Of Christmas
Cards and letters.
AS the hundreds of envelopes
sped before his eyes, a thought
came to Einar Holboll - how won
derful it would be if every one
of the missives could bear a little
sticker that was the symbol of
gift to some work of charity
a hospital hospital for the
children sick with tuberculosis
there were so many in Denmark.
Each gift need be only a tiny
amount, there would be so many
of the stickers.
Holboll talked about his idea.
Influential citizens brought it to
the attention of the king, Christ
ian TX, who gave official approval
and the stamps went on sale in
all Danish post offices. The idea
was so successful that sanitori-
UNI was begun the first year.
The idea spread to America be-

Drawing BY Durer Has
Dramatic RdckoPound

One of the worlds most beloved
drawings is the famed Praying
Hands" of Albrecht Durer, the
German artist (1471-1528).
There is a wonderful story of
sacrifice behind the Druer master
piece.
The young Albrecht Durer was
rooming with a fellow art student,
but there was not enough money
between them for food or lodging.
Durer's friend agreed to go to
work in the fields so that Albrecht
could continue his studies.
After weeks of hard labor, the
friends hands had become so stiff
fened by toll that he had to give
up his drawing altogether.
1t was these toil-worn hands,
which had been sacrificed in his
behalf, to give him the opportunity
to continue his artistic career, that
Durer rendered so lovingly and
with so much feeling in his Pray
ing Hands"
Durer went on to become one of
the great masters, but none of his
work is quite so famous as the
Praying Hands," which has come
to be a symbol of prayer through
out the world.
So revered is the drawing that a
fable has grown up about it-that
the household that has a copy of
the print will be blessed with hap
piness and domestic bliss.
Certainly a copy OF the Durer
drawing on the wall Of any home
will inspire thoughts about God

to get down on their knees to
praise God Jehovah, from whom
all blessings flow.
This year our church and organ
national choral groups and choirs
are preparing Christmas music
treats for all who, will hear. There's
nothing like counting you blessings
in song.
We had a feeling that the radio
stations start beaming Christmas
carols and music too soon, but
even that is not going to stop
our enjoyment of the holiday songs
from the voices of the many.
All of us in this great country,
with all of its imperfections have
great deal to be thankful and
happy about This Christmas don't
forget to count your blessings,
each and everyone!

for peace are just a little bit
brighter than they were two
months ago.
This year various Twin City
newspaper columnists and organ
izations like the Salvation Army
are already to help make the holi-
day of any of our less fortunate
brethren, a happy season.
Organized giving to the tables
of the unemployed, gifts and toys
to their children, special visits to
the hospitals, the orphanages, the
rest homes are all a part of the
area Christmas approach. It's a
real blessing that we have indiv-
iduals and organizations who con-
Germ themselves with the happi-
ness of others at this time of the
year.
We think we ought to be very
pleased that the recession we
were experiencing this time last
year has apparently receded.
That's a blessing we must not
forget to count.
Every time we approach being
pessimistic about anything we re-
member a small card under the
glass top of a desk of a certain
Minnesota industrialist. It's not
there now, because the style of
desks have changed. Many years
ago when we went into this mans
office feeling sorry for our lot we
sat before the desk while occupant
finished a telephone call.
We spied the card which read:
Il Complained Because I Had No
Shoes, Until I Saw A Man Who
Had No Feet" That sentence
struck us so forcibly that almost
automatically whenever we feel
the slightest bit of pessimism COM
ing on we remember that in
scription.
At this time of the year the
thought embodied in the simple
statement we have just quoted
ought to provide lesson for us
all, even those sorely beset by hui
man problems. Some of us have
learned that to be living, even with
poor health is something for which
to be thankful.
In our rambling around the two
towns in the past few days we.
have met and visited with persons
sorely affected by ailments of the
body and almost without exception
their demeanors, their courage -
under often extreme bodily pain re-
minded us again that those Of us
who are well and hardy-at this
time ought to count each day, as a
blessing.

which brings out as much good
in we humans as the Christmas

for civilized man opportunity to
shed his inhibitiOns and show his
real true self to his fellows.
Many of us show in this period
the real feeling we have for others
So weeks a year. Due to some
quirk in the makeup of too many
of us we wait to a religious festival
period like Christmas to show just
how much love and friendliness we
have for our fellows.
Some readers who have followed
this piece this far will be glad we
have pointed out that Christmas is
a religious festival. Too many of
us forget this fact. Many however
do not forget and do not neglect

Christmas shoppers, the hardy per-
rentals, who gladden. the hearts
and fatten the Golfers of the mer-
chants, large and small.
From the many headlines which
reveal the uncertainty which faces
the world family, one could expect
the faces Of those thronging the
downtown stores of each of our
Twin Cities to show the strain of
living in a troubled world. But to
the contrary, this years shoppers
seem happy, they seem more as
sured that all will be alright.
Even the fathers and some of
the working mothers who must
pay the holiday gift bills in jan
uary seem happier than we have
noted in many a year.
We've walked around more this
year in each of the downtown
areas, than any year since we sold
advertising in both Twin City
loops. We made it point to visit
advertisers both in the downtown
section and the outlying areas also.
Most of them were doing bus
mess" This of course made us
very happy because when business
is good with them, it usually is
good for US, too.
During some of the recent world
crisises we despaired of their be-
ing any Christmas spirit left this
year. When the President found it
necessary to call up National
Guard units and reserve forces we
felt that this was going to spoil
the Christmas of a great number
of families.
Now, at least at this date, even
those men who have had to answer
the call to colors have something
to be thankful for in that no shoot
ing war has started, and the hopes

better life.

full drawing will continue to inspire
human hearts for many centuries
more.

AS the Districts crime prob

District Building to the Capitol,
there were these developments
growing out of a weeks cam

Ronald K. Payne, 81, already
charged with rape and robbery
in a Brightwood speciality store
as well as attempted robbery
and assault on police officers
in Highs store, was charged
yesterday with an $1,000 rob-
berry on April 20. Payne is
hospitalized at District Cen

wound in his arm received in
a gun battle with police during
the Highs robbery attempt.

l700 block of Corcoran street
NV. identified by police as the
man who drove the car used
in the Brightwood rape-robbery.
was charged with Payne in the
April 90 robbery.
In the April robbery, Payne
and Crawford are accused of

Sharon Greene, 19, at 432
Twenty-third place NE. after
forcing their way in at gun

harmed.
Linton r. Mordecai, jr., the
16-year-old charged with rape
