While BitSy Grant continues
to win friends and influence
opponents in this weeks Ma
tional seniors clay court tennis
championships at Bethesda S
Edgemoor Club, the dark horse
named George Ball is rapidly
becoming a bright hope.
AS an English teacher in New
York, Ball shows a proper re-
spect for order, but as a ten
mis- player he frankly admits
he's out Of style.
Ball makes up for a choppy
poor serve with an overdose Of
hustle and an attack that con-
Sists of two distinct phases:
(aJ long baSeline exchanges
or (b) periodical flurries from
the net.
Fourth-ranked, Ball COM
pleted an upset-free march by
the top seeds to the semifinalS
yesterday with a 6-3, 60
conquest of Arlington'S Don
Floyd. 1t was match that
raised some eyebrows and low
cred some odds.
Hoffman Has Trouble
I've figured all along that
it'd be Bitsy and Ball in the
finals" Floyd said, "and now
I'm even more sure of 1t.
What's more, Ball is in better
shape than Bitsy and can run
longer"
At this stage, Ball is content
to take one match at a time.
He was booked today against
Harry Hoffman,. the No. .
seed from Philadelphia. Hoff-
mann, the stamina -rich vege-
terian, had difficulties with
ambidextrous Henry Bassford,
but prevailed, S-6, Ga.
Today's other semifinal
matched defending champion
Grant, still very much the top
choice, against stylish Chaun-
cey Steele. No. 8, from Cam
bridge. Mass. Steele yesterday
built up a 40 lead in the
first set and ousted Larry
Shippey of Atlanta, 60, Ga.
Grant. a round behind, had
to play two matches, defeating
Robert Biddle of Trenton. N. j.,
IS, GO. and Robert Nihou-
sen, the No. S seed from
Cuyhoga Falls, Ohio. Ga, 90.
Amazingly accurate on his mix
ture Of drops, slices and volleys,
Grant was the master in both,
although he needed some of his
best tennis to dispose of Nj
housen with as much dispatch
as he did.
At Top Of Game
However, it was the signifi-
canoe of Balls triumph that
caused most Of the backstage
gossip. Floyd, a steady base
liner with a deadly array of
passing shots. was considered
to have the ideal style to COM
bat Balls net-rushing tactics.
Instead, Ball Rugged the base
line. set up long rallies and
beat Floyd at his own game.
Ball ran off 80 and A leads
in the sets.
A -finalist in his first
senior (45 years and older)
tournament last year, Ball is
playing some Of his best tennis
now. He won the Jersey State
mems title and recently carried
Arthur Ashe, the national schol-
astic champion. to five sets in
the SemiS Of the Eastern Open.
I'm not much on FORM" Ball
conceded. but I'm effective.
The fact that I'll go to the net,
I guess, keeps the other guy
worried"

privately that Senator Byrd's
outspoken resentment against
minority report statements by
Senators Douglas and Gore in
jected another issue into the
fight over the bill. This was
whether the committee and
Senator Byrd acted unfairly
or hastily in sending the bill
to the Senate.
Supporters of the bill seemed
certain to renew a. drive for
passage not only on the ground
that the legislation is .neces-
sary, but also that its enact
ment would be a vindication of
Senator Byrd and the commit
tee as a whole.
The Senate stalemate aroused
angry reaction in the House
which had been in recess al
most four hours waiting for
the Senate to complete it's busi-
ness.
Before the House adjourned,
at 5 pm, until tomorrow, Rep
resentative Bow, Republican OF
Ohio, served notice that when
the supplemental appropria-
tionS bill comes back to the
House he and others will try to
eliminate much of the $478 mil
lion added by the Senate APP
preparations Committee.
House leaders did not con-
ceal their apprehension about
being able to muster workable
majorities this week. Roll calls
yesterday were answered by
only about 300 of the present
436 members, only about 80
more than would be necessary
for a quorum. Many other
members repeatedly were leav-
ing the city. Any House vote
could be challenged for lack of
a quorum and such a challenge
unquestionably would be made
on the foreign aid bill.
In any event. the Senate
probably would have been tied
up until Tuesday on a $1,060,-
894,578 catch-all supplemental
appropriation bill for numerous
agencies and programs for the
current fiscal year.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen told reporters that he
was informed late yesterday
afternoon that Senator Prouty
intended to object to consider
alton of the bill reported out
late Friday by the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee. Such
an objection would have de-

nurses to provide both pre-
maternal and postmaternal

now offer only prenatal care.
The new services under the
Commissioners plan, were to
include the birth control in
formation and devices.
No References
The testimony made public
on the closed budget sessions
by the Rabaut subcommittee
carries no reference to the birth
control matter! City officials,
however, repeatedly had been
careful to see that no secret
was made of the Districts birth
control plans.
1t was understood that the
present Board of Commission
ers was leaning to the idea of
amending Mr.. Sullivan's plan
and limiting the new program
at the clinics to birth control
information, and not devices.
City officials yesterday did
not deny that the planned pro-
gram has been Shelved, but
they refused to give any expla-
nation.
Representative hatcher, DEM
ocrat of Kentucky, acting
chairman of the Rabaut unit,
said he was aware of the birth

The supplemental money bill

Several House members OF
the conference committee on
the foreign aid bills passed in
recent weeks by the House and
Senate had said they would
not agree to anything until all

been acted on. The House ap-

could be given the right to
check identity papers of SOL
diers travelling in civilian
clothes in and out of the city.
He emphasized, however, that
this would not apply to military
personnel in uniform and added
that the right to examine pa
perS would not imply the right
to refuse access.
This proposal essentially
seems to be nothing more than
a modified version of the idea
originally proposed by the late
John Foster Dulles that the
East Germans might be ac-
cepted as agents" of the Rus
slams in the matter of check
ing papers.
The suggestion struck many
people as reasonable four years
ago and there seems little rea-
son why it should be shocking
today.
Might be Justified
If Gen. Clay-or anyone else
for that matter-had come up
with any really radical propo-
sal, if he had suggested the
formal recognition of East Ger
many, or Communist control
of the 40 corridors into Ber-
lin, or any other major con-
cesSions on the part Of the
West, the current speculation
about a switch in American
policy might be justified.
But understanding to all
the published reports he pro-
posed none Of these things, ii
is not easy to understand the
reason either for the excite
ment in Berlin or the anguish
in Washington.
