By the Associated Pres.

A New York attorney says he
threatened the Government
with a $40 million damage suit,
thus stopping 1t from reneging
on a SOS million contract for
aluminium.
James E. Nickerson, law part
ner of former Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York, told the
story to a Senate Armed Serv-
ices subcommittee yesterday
He said Mr.. Dewey, two-time
Republican candidate for Pres
ident, was involved in the mat
ter in only a minor way.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Symington,, Democrat
of Missouri, is investigating the
national defense stockpile of
strategic materials. 1t already
has received testimony that the
stockpile, valued at $50 billion,
is about twice as large as nee
essary.
Mr.. Nickerson testified that
under a contract negotiated in
late 1852 and early 1853, Har-
vey Aluminium, Inc. a subSid-
larry of Harvey Machine Co.,
agreed to build aluminium pro-
ducing facilities at Dalles,
Greg, and sell the Government
100000 tons for the national
stockpile.
After the company had spent
81 million toward fulfilling the
contract a hitch occurred, the
lawyer said.
The aluminium could be pro-
duced only If the company
could buy power from the
Bonneville Power Administra-
ton. But. Mr.. Nickerson said,
someone" failed to ask Con-
gress for the money to permit
the administration to build the
additional facilities necessary
to provide the power, although
the President Of the United
States had said a bill would
come through"
Mr.. Nickerson said In 1855
the Government tried to get
out Of the contract, and the
Harvey company got In touch
with Mr.. Dewey. who turned
the case over to Mr.. Nickerson
for handling. II handled 1t my
self, from beginning to end"
Mr.. Nickerson said.
He said after examining the
case he showed Federal Off
cials papers he had drawn for
a $40 million breach of con-
tract suit. He said he THREAT

eminent in the Court Of

French Voters Believed Less Likely
To Elect q Politician as President

PARIS - Except for fall

health. BY present standards,
he is not considered an old
man just u. He easily

reports from his underlings.
Although many of his days
are occupied with the increas-
ingly complex international
problems, most of his time is
devoted to squirting the
French economy which he
expects to be in the forefront
of all others in the next two
years.
Despite the obvious vitality

This reporter has talked

to be that since he has put

Those we're the days when
Man O'War was a horse that
created legend. Ask the aver
age citizen about the gam
bling game or racing and he
will know the name of the
great Bluegrass colt, Man
O'War. The people in racing
rarely we're admirable. But
the horses were wonderful. 1t
was a time when Jack Demp-
sey was stiffening his foes.
Bill Tilden was the car Of
tennis. Babe Ruth and Ty
Cobb we're baseball's entries,
and surely one and all will
admit that Mickey Mantle
and Roger Maris are pale

Jones dominated golf, but
there also we're Walter Hagen,
Gene Sarazen, and half a
dozen others who were for

it-golf has never been the

Danforth saw 1t, knew it,
and wrote it. Every man now
writing sports in the South
is in his debt. He alone ele-
waited sports reporting in the
South to a place of dignity
and status. Publishers began
to look for writers-not hacks.

manly sports in which a man

such a game, and Ed became
knowledgeable about it. 1t

lacrosse team commit may

Danforth lived life to the
hilt until his years and a
sense of maturity slowed him.
But he never lost his zest for
living. He died on the tele-
phone, a fact which must en-
barrasS his celestial shade,
because he was always a leg
man, scorning the phone as
a poor compromise that had
taken some of the zing out
of reporting. He was right
about this. 1t simply is not
possible to get a story by
phone. One must confront the
story and see If 1t bushes or
is immodest, afraid, arrogant,
or stupid. The telephone has
hurt reporting.
The golden years of sports
were a good time to live life
to the limit. There was a
a residue Of innocence in
those days. Football had some
aspects of amateurism. The
coach was not subject to be-
ing fired If he lost a few
games. Phrases such as the

meaning which today are

munism is on the wane; so
are those, as in other coun-
tries, who do their work for
them - the fellow travellers,
neo-liberals and pseudo-intel-
lectuals.
These latter have not gone
underground but have just
been swept away by the per-
sonality of Gen. de Gaulle
who, contrary to what is be-
ing said by his opponents
abroad, cannot be described
as a conservative in the mod
ern jargon, that is, a reaction
airy.
The main problem the
French chief Of state faces
today is the adjustment of
wages, salaries and modest
income to the high cost of liv-
ing produced by the rapid
boom of the French economy.
And it is in this area that he
is making real efforts to
reach a just division of
Frances new wealth.
Gen. de Gaulle has sur
rounded himself with tech

of them are in their early

Minister of Cultural Affairs
Henri Malraux, who at one
time dabbled with Communist
ideologies, none is interested

naive about the mechanics of
finance and economies, but
has a flair for what is good

has not made any major mis-

Mcclellan
Asks Facts on
Plane Deal

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. is
(AP). - Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat of Arkansas, says he
has assigned a staff member to
check into the awarding of the
contract for the Fill (TFX)
fighter aircraft to General Dy-
namics and Grammar Aircraft
Engineering Corporations.
The Defense Department an
nounced award of the contract
November "a, saying the two
firms had been chosen to de-
velop the revolutionary super
sonic jet tactical fighter plane
for use by the Air Force and
Navy on the basis of proposals
submitted by 10 companies. The
companies included the Boeing
Co.
The Wichita Eagle reported
yesterday that the Defense De-
partment has been getting pri-
vate complaints from Boeine
executives, contending tn eli
firm could have provided a
faster aircraft.
The Eagle said Senator Jack
son, Democrat of Washington,
had asked Senator Mcclellan
to look into the matter. Boeing
officials had no comment but
confirmed stories to that eff
feet. Senator Mcclellan said
the matter had come to his
attention "a week and a day
ago" and that Il told a staffer
to check into 1t and give me a
report"
The Defense Department said
in announcing the contract,
"the General Dynamics design
was selected because it offered
the best chance of developing
an airplane that would be both
operationally acceptable, and
compatible with requirements
of the two services"
The exact value Of the award
was not announced, but the
Pentagon described 1t as big
ger in both dollars and num-
bers than ANY fighter aircraft

Ed Danforth, who was the
first literate interpreter of
sports in the South, has, at
10, gone off into the final
assignment-eternity. Those
of us who like to think of
that mysterious and unknown
realm as a happy place where
old CATERS sit around and
tell stories about the good old
days are cheered by the be-
lief that Ed was welcomed by
a throng eager for new sto-
ries and, ever better, the old
ones retold by a master. The
best stories seem to come
from the days when men
were men and whisky sold for
a dollar a quart" This was
a saying of another genera
ton more innocent than our
own and was, in its time,
considered to be sophisticated
and humorous.
Danforth was, in his day,
one of the best. 1t is difficult
for this generation to COM
prehend the high level of
sports in the so-called golden
era. 1t was a time when no
one ever looked to see if the
heroes had feet of clay. To-
ward the end of the gilded
years there we're some, Paul
Calico among them, who
did peer toward the feet of
the Olympian gods. He came
up with the conclusion that
of them all only Robert Tyre
Jones had plain feet, of flesh
and bone, with no touch of
clay. (He was right But the
golden years were wonderful
ones in which the sports
writer Of competence was
himself one of the gods.
The word competence is a
key one. A man had to know
his trade to be accepted.
Danforth was a professional
who became nationally we'll
known and respected. He
knew sports. He was a pro in
that he took the trouble to
learn and be able to inter-
pref horse racing, boxing,
football, baseball, and all the
minor sports satellites.

Special to The Star

NOQUI, Northern Angola
Convinced that in the long run
she will earn the gratitude of
the Western world for her
stand in Angola, Portugal has
decided to reverse the present
European trend of getting out
Of Africa as fast as possible.
She will instead meet African
nationalism head-on by turn
ing the vast, almost untapped
Angola into a bastion against
all that she regards as unsa-
worry in Africa.
In order to do so, Portugal
is to launch the largest-ever
African immigration scheme
The aim is to double Angola's
present population of 6 million
in the next 10 years, and to
increase it to between 80 mil
lion and 40 million over the
next 20 years.
To carry out the scheme the
surplus population from over
crowded Portugal is gradually
to be moved to Angola, where
large numbers of immigrants
from Cape Verdes and the
Azores are already being trans
ported. 1t is also hoped that
some Brazilians can be in
duced to come to Angola, and
additional plans now under
consideration provide for the
settlement of large numbers of
nationalist Chinese from For
mosa. Preliminary converse
tons with Chang Kai-shek
have already taken place.
Administration Set Up
A special administration to
supervise this settlement
scheme has been set up. A
spokesman told me frankly:
I'VE are setting out to create
a new Brazil in Africa and we
are confident that we can sue
ceed."
The plans are based on an
economic survey just COM
pleted. This shows an almost
criminal neglect of Angola'S
nearly unlimited agricultural
and mineral potential. Portu-
guese officials are quick Ia
point out that the reason for
the past neglect has been Por-
