OF the 100 or SO under
graduate drop-outs at Yale
each year, all fit a pattern.
Their entry aptitude tests
reveal them well above the
student average. But they do
not have the self discipline
or study discipline TO main
tain passing grades.
A philosopher, caught in
an eddy, took a calm view Of
the growing impression that
Yale's undergraduate stu
dents are becoming a band
of evangelical conservatives
to preach a small "r" religion
to the effect that govern
ment must be kept wholly
out Of things, lest it lessen
our liberties.
yale" he said, has always
been largely conservative.
In any institution perhaps 10
per cent Of the students go
about their daily lives without
bothering too much about
anything except their work,
and this is a good thing. If
the total student body were
composed Of aggressive, suf-
fering conservatives whose
liberties are bleeding, and Of
liberals seeking every waking
moment to change the world,
life would be quite unbearable.
"The fact is," continued the
professor, "the conservatives
and liberals appear in cycles.
For a while, one group will be
the more articulate, and then
the other will take over for a
span Of years. Just now, 1t is
the conservatives who are the
more glib. I do not know
which is the worst. Mean
while, thank God for those
who are quiet"
Escaping this, I went back
to the young lady who knew
about the lemurs. I regretted
not being younger and able
to throw over everything else

into the large and trusting
eyes Of the gentle and lower
primates. They take one on

Survival Of Defender of Small Nations
Viewed as Depending on Their Unity
WILLIAM S. WHITE

The international crisis
against which President Ken
nedy had been preparing this
country since the hour Of his
somber inaugural address
has now come, and rather
sooner than he had expected.
The Soviet Union has
pressed the button and sent
the bowling mobs into the
streets around the world for
twin and terrible purposes:
To put the African continent
in chaos; and to destroy the
United Nations.
The death in the Congo Of
the Soviet stooge Patrice
Lumumba has provided the
pretext for the gravest Com
munist threat to world order
since the onset of the cold
war.
AS a major nation, we stand
in some peril. But the peril
confronts not only the great
powers, but the small. II the
Soviet Unions declaration Of
war on the United Nations
the attack on the integrity
and authority of Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold
is to succeed. the small
nations will wind up within
months without a forum and
without hope.
This, the United Nations,
is the one place they have
been able to have any voice
in world affairs. It is up to
them now-and this is the
point President Kennedy is
stressing in every way he
knows-as to whether that
place is to be maintained.
Without it they will be lost,
hopeless pawns in inter-
national power politics. IRON
ically, it is precisely to these
small nations, and especially
to the newly independent
ones in Africa, to which the
Russians are directing their

with Senator Kerr of Okla

President Johnson.
Mr.. Webb is reported ap-
palled at the high cost Of
space exploration as well he
might be. Premier Khru-
shchev made the same COM
plant to Averell Hartman
two years ago.
II would appear that in
nuclear matters as at State,
Mr.. Kennedy feels that the
major decisions must be his,
anyway, and that what he is
aiming for is the maximum
political reinforcement after
he has made them. Certainly
1t is one solution for his own
lack Of detailed knowledge of
the subject.
The congressional commit
tees do have a good record
for dependability. David Lili-
enthal as Acc chairman riled
the Republicans as Mr..
Strauss later did the Demo-
Gratis. but these were dra-
matte incidents largely due
to personality clashes. and
on the whole, cooperation
among committee members
has been good.

main appeal. They are ask
ing these small new nations,
in the name Of anti
colonialism" and so on, to
destroy the one system which
offers any security to these
new nations, the U. N. itself.
The big countries - the
United States among them -
can take care Of themselves.
What President Kennedy and
u. N. Ambassador Adlai Ste
venson are now trying to do,
therefore, is to persuade the
small nations to forget their
past hatreds Of "colonialism"
and all that-and so to avoid
national suicide.
That these efforts are un-
selfish is demonstrably true
but people do not always
appreciate unselfiShnesS.
Whether they will succeed is
open to great question. II
they fail, the world will revert
to a state Of international
lawleSSness it has not known
since the years before the
Second World War.
Thus the clock hands Of
history now stand close to
midnight. If the U. N. is to go
down in ruins, the most
wrenching changes in high
policy will occur in this
country, and elsewhere, too.
Military alliances like the
North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization will take on a
desperate urgency. A decade
Of progress in building re-
gional associations for eco
nomic purposes will come to
a close.
So it is that President Ken
nedy faces. before he has
been a month in office, one
Of the grand crises of modern
history.

dangerous is to understate.

Some Notes Made on an
Envelope at New Haven: The
conversation and the COM
pany at university cocktail
parties are recommended.
They are far superior, for
example, to those Of Wash
ington, where the talk Is
based on rumors and specula-
ton about politics and poll
ticians. They are far better
than those given by book
publishers where writer's talk
about themselves. At neither
of these, by way of illustra-
ton, would one hear about
lemurs from a very charm
ing, composed, intelligent
young lady, or meet an earn
est young man who wanted
to talk about dung beetles.
After years of atuning the
ears to the high whine which
rises from the ordinary cock
tail party. it was also a re-
lief to listen to a sociologist
giving data on the compare
tive cynicism and idealism Of
law and medical students.
It seems that at Yale there
is a complete reversal during
their years Of study. The
law students enter thinking
of themselves as tough, Gym
ical realists. The medical
men come crammed with the
ideals of healing. But at New
Haven, at least, this changes
with the processes of the
years. The young doctors
take their diplomas cynically.
The lawyers go forth de-
termined to put someone in
jail for violating antitrust
laws or for grinding the faces
Of the poor.
Giving ear to a psychol-
ogist, 1t was possible to learn
that for many young men
who come to the university
a professor substitutes for
the father image. Never hav-
ing been able to tell off papa
at home, they rebel against
the teacher. This leads to
many varieties of results, not
all good. Most students, how
ever, faithfully reflect much
of what they saw, heard and
felt emotionally in their

Enough time has elapsed
in the huSh-huSh period
that has prevailed since the
American flyers who sur
vived the crash Of the RIB
a. came home-for the
American people to be given
the truth about the episode.
The fact is that the Ameri-
can plane was shot down
when 1t was 80 miles away
from the coast Of the Soviet
Union. Since it was over in
ternational waters, the shoot
ing was q direct attack on the
rights of American citizens
and a flagrant violation Of
the law of nations.
President Kennedy on jan
uary ~ ordered the returned
flyers not to talk to any
members Of the press. He ex-
planned later that the pur-
pose Of the blackout on the
news was to give the Air
Force a chance to "de-brief"
the flyers after they had
visited their families.
But obviously there was
another purpoSe-to keep the
subject out Of the world press
lest it irritate the Soviets and
cast some doubt on the pro-
feSSions Of friendlineSS being
made by them at that time.
In fact, the President said
the release Of the flyers had
removed q serious obstacle in
the way of peaceful relations
between the Soviet Union and
the United States"
Since that time, however,
relations between the Com
munist regime and this coun-
try have worSened. Mr.. Ken
nedy had to speak bluntly
at his Wednesday press con-
ference. He was careful in
what he said and revealed
that the statement he read
had been prepared in advance

sumably after consultation

There was no substantial evidence that
the Capital was hotbed, or potentially a
hotbed, of football bluffs. George Wash
ington U. had attempted big-time college
ball in the early 1930s, undaunted by the
guarantees demanded by such as Alabama

Third in a series on old Griffith Sta
dunn. roaD abandoned as the home of
the Redskins and George Washington
University, but once the scene OF many
of the most memorable gridiron battles
in the history of the Nations CdpttGlJ
ON A WET, freezing afternoon in De-
cember, 1896, the Green Bay Packers and
the Boston Redskins met for the National
Football League championship in the Polo
Grounds.
And why were teams from wisconsin
and Massachusetts, cutting up a rabbit in
New York? Well, it was George P. Mar
shalls way of informing BostonianS they
didn't deserve a pro football team. Also,
George was inching his way toward the
intended new home of the Redskins
Griffith Stadium in Washington.
As president and principal owner, Mar
shall was aggrieved by the lack OF support
rendered to his civic enterprise In Boston.
He had introduced the pro game in 1892
at old Braves Field, calling his warriors
the Boston Braves. After one season he
switched to Fenway Park, home Of the Red
Sox, and adopted the name of Redskins.
\
EVEN THIS SUPER salesman failed to
sell his product in Boston. There were too
many colleges in the area, among other
obstacles. One Sunday, when the Redskins
were scheduled at home, Marshall was
outraged because newspaper had devoted
considerable space to girls field hockey
team.
So, when the Skins won the Eastern
Division in 'S6 and were to play host to
the Vests champion Packers ne moved
the showdown game to New York. George
also arranged to have small group OF
washington sports writer's on hand to
observe the pro brand at close range.
Pm thinking of moving the franchise
to Washington" G. M. intoned. i want to
know if you writer's think pro football will
go over"
It was suspected that Marshall already
had decided on the shift to his old home
town.
IT really do want to know what you
think" George persisted.
"All right" came the chorus, bring
'em to washington"

had found home. Week after week, sea-

even after Clark Griffith the landlord, had
installed 10000 portable seats to make his
arena more suitable for football Watch
ing the Redskins on Sundays became The
Thing To Do. Crowds consistently topped
the 10000 mark, with peak of S6,591 on
October 26, 1947, to see the Bears.
Once upon a time the Redskins were
the powerhouse of the East and the Bears
of the West. For instance, Washington
won second Eastern title in 1910. Alas,
that was the year the Redskins were
Inundated by the Bears in playoff con-
Quoted on Mr.. GriffithS lawn. 1t was scant
consolation to have rolled up more first
downs. The final score Bears, 70; Red
skins, 0.
IN AZ THERE was another division
title for the Redskins, this time followed
by a 1875 playoff victory over the Bears.
THAT was my best team during our entire
Is years in Washington" Marshall says
today. ITO name Baugh, Wilbur Moore and
Andy FarkaS was only to begin to list the
stars. The az squad was two-deep at every
position and better than the 81 team. We
were 1O-1 in the regular season, Iii count
ing the playoff."
The Redskins won two more Eastern
championships in 1943 and 1945, but the
Bears and Cleveland Rams won the play
offs. Then the clubs fortunes Sagged until
rock bottom was hit last season-the final
in Griffith Stadium-when they won a
single victory in IL games They now have
lost nine straight in regular NFL competi-
ton, beginning october &c. 1860.
But they haven't played yet in the new
District of Columbia Stadium, where they
can only hope their luck will change. Some
changes in personnel might help at least
as much, but be that as it may there is no
denying that the Redskins in Griffith Sta
dunn made this town of wild-eyed foot
ball bluffs once upon time.
