Terps Strive
To Enc! Losses
At 5 Straight
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

Maryland'S basketball team,
saddled with a five game losing
streak, is host tonight to Vir-
ginia, by all odds the team
best suited to help it out.
Virginia, the Atlantic Coast
Conferences perennial ne'er-
do-well, has lost nine in a row
itself. What's more, the Cava-
liers haven't beaten a Maryland
team at College Park since
1948.
While the Terps hope for a
get-well tonic from the Virginia
gentlemen in their clash at
8:15, Georgetown visits NIT
bound Duquesne, Howard is host
to Morgan State at Capitol
Arena and American u, the
first major area team to finish
its schedule, travels to Mount
st. Mary's. The Cole Field
House program opens at 6:15
with a game between the Terp
and Cavalier frosh.
Maryland's current losing
string and its subpar 8-14 chart
are rather bewildering, since
the Terps are shooting 43.3 per
cent. the best mark in the
schools history. They shot SO
per cent the last two times out
and still bowed to Wake Forest
and North Carolina.
Looking to Tournament
1--WE just haven't put every
thing together" Coach Bud
Millikan groans. "Once we do,
I still think we can give any,
body fits"
Millikan, of course, is hoping
to fit all the pieces together
by the ACC tournament next
week, which means a return to
form by Bruce Kelleher, whose
average has slipped to 1913, and
better play from his pivotman.
Jerry Greenspan, with 22-of-
40 accuracy his last two games,
has been trying to carry the
club alone lately.
Oddly enough, the Terps
had a five-game losing streak
just about this time a year ago,
but recovered to win three of
their final four games and
make it to the tournament
semifinals.
Virginia comes here with a
4-16 chart and only one legi-
innate high-scoring threat, s.
foot-11 Tony Laquintano, a
busy little driver who is aver
aging 1875. He sets up plays,
pops from the outside and will
even try maneuvering in the
pivot on occasions. Chip Con-
nor and Bruce Engel. both g.
foot-4, try to help out, but
they're usually over-matched
by taller men. Maryland won
the earlier game, 91-7O.
Hoyas Face Trouble
Georgetown 12-D figures to
have more than it can handle
against puquesne $3.50, which
was one of the first teams to
accept an NIT. bid. The Iron
Dukes have been spanked by
Willie Somerset, touted as a
real buzzsaw. They were 1862
before losing to Villanova
Westminster CPa.) and Dayton
The key man for the Hoyas is
Bob Sharpenter, who has been
pistol-hot lately, averaging
1913 in his last four tests.
American U. and Howard
also figure to be in for hardy
scraps against opponents bent
on revenge. Howard dropped
Morgan State, 57-53, in an
earlier game while Mount st
Mary's is still smarting from its
1864 loss to the Eagles last
week. That triumph was AUS
showpiece on a 1913 card. The
Mounts are 14-6.
Only one game is on the
area schedule tomorrow, with
LeMoyne at Catholic. The
Cardinals will be tuning up
for Saturdays Southern Di-
vision playoffs in the Mason
Dixon Conference.

Town O pens Its Doors
To Stranded Negroes

The bus station cafe was
closed two months ago to avoid
integration, so Mr.. Barlow
helped Mrs. johnson and Gwen
dolyn to a nearby Negro cafe
for some meals to supplement
food they had brought with
them on the bus.
Yesterday Julian Haas, man.
ager of radio Station KAGH
stepped aboard the bus. He
talked with Mrs. Johnson and
Mr.. Barlow and went back to
the station. He broadcast the
story at 2 pm.
"AS soon as I was off the air
the phone calls started" he
said. There were calls from
Negro families who said they
would put them up. A white
hotel owner called and said to
send them over, that there was
a room regardless OF their color
"A white woman called and
said they could use her sons
room because he was away at
school"
BY the time Mr.. Haas got
back to the bus station, dozens
of people-white and Negro
were clustered there.
Mrs. johnson and Gwendolyn
went to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard Johnson, Negroes
(no relation, to spend the
night. Townsfolk brought
enough food for a banquet.
Mr.. Barlow went to stay with
a Baptist minister.
The bus was expected to leave
CroSsett today.

Slight Easing
OF Cold Due
2 Places Open
For Ice Skaters

Some break is expected here
tomorrow in the bone-chilling
cold wave gripping the Wash
ington area but temperatures
are likely to remain 10 degrees
below normal for the next five
days.
The Weather Bureau said
rain or snow is likely to invade
this area again on Monday.
New snow came within SO miles
of Washington today as a small
storm swept up the coast on a
,northeasterly course, but the
disturbance was expected to re-
main well to the east of the
Capital.
BY mid-morning, the storm
brought a fairly heavy" snow
fall to Norfolk, Va, and gave
Maryland's Eastern Shore its
third snowfall of the new year
In Wicomico County, about an
inch of fine, powdery snow fell
within an hour.
Frigid temperatures prevailed
here today but thermometer
readings improved slightly. The
official low temperature was Is
degrees recorded at National
Airport at 9:40 last night, with
an after midnight low of II at
g am.
However, unofficial readings
were reported of 3 degrees at
Sterling, Va; Is degrees at
Andrews Air Force Base, 2 at
MartinSburg, w. Va, and 7 in
Baltimore.
AS one happy consequence of
the cold, two District sites were
opened today for ice skating,
the National Capital Parks an
nounced.
One is the Brickyard Road
area on the C. and o. Canal,
near the David Taylor Model
Basin, just off Macarthur
boulevard.
The other is at the Kenil-
worth Aquatic Gardens, which
will be lighted and open until
midnight tonight.
The Lincoln Memorial Re-
flecting Fool is not yet safe,
Parks officials said.
They expect the pool to be
open later this week, however,
if cold weather continues.
The temperature was ex-
pected to drop to % tonight
along with cloudy skies. The
forecaster expects the mercury
to rise above the freezing point
for the first time in three days
tomorrow. The precipitation on
Monday could be either snow
or rain, depending on the tenn
perature at that time.

j. ). Resumes
Aid 10 Laos
After Delay
81 Million Grant
Held Up Nearly
Two Weeks

VIENTIANE, Laos, Jan. II
(AP).-The United States to-
day resumed economic aid to
Prince Boun Gums right-wing
Laotian government.
United States bassy
sources said the government
was advised a 81 million cash
grant for January was being
deposited in a New York bank.
The payment to defray most of
the governments expenses had
been held up for nearly two
weeks, but an Embassy Spokes-
man refused to comment on the
reason for the delay or for the
resumption of aid.
Statements by the Laotian
government had indicated the
American suspension of aid
was due to Prince Boun Gums
refusal to yield two key cabinet
posts-defense and interior
to Prince Souvanna Phouma's
neutralists in the coalition gov
ernment which Prince Boun
Gum. Prince Souvanna and
Communist Prince Sou
phanouvong are pledged to
form.
No Change of Mind
There was no indication at
all that the government has
changed its mind on this issue.
But delivery of the monthly
dole came after Prince Boun
Gum agreed to go to Geneva
for another meeting with
Princes Souvanna and Soupha-
nouvong.
The delay in the aid payment
caused the government to halt
free convertibility of the Lao
tian kip, and the value Of gold
and dollars rose on the local
market.
However, observers here had
not expected the United States
to hold out very long since
this would have caused an eco
nomic catastrophe for Prince
Boun Gums regime.
Leaders Leave Sunday
The government announced
today that Prince Boun Gum
and his vice premier, Gen.
Phoumi NoSavan, would leave
Vientiane Sunday for Geneva.
The royal government, mean
while, issued its fifth war COM
munique since January 4, al

United States Embassy contin-
ued to show no alarm at the

THE general military situa-
tion shows no significant
change from that prevailing
through the ceaSe-fire period.
There has been a Pathet Lao

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. IL.
The Republican National
Committee was told today by
one of its top leaders that the
party is in "pitiful" condition
in most big cities and needs an
Intensive rebuilding effort.
Ray Bliss, the Ohio Repub-
lican chairman, reported that
a year-long survey by a special
committee he headed demon

cans are generally "out-manned,
out-organized, out-spent and

cratic and union opposition.
Mr.. Bliss outlined a 19-point
program for rebuilding G. o. P.
strength in the cities.
He said that the metropoliSes
still offer fertile ground for
the Republican Party, if it is
willing to provide adequate
finances, leadership and per-
sonnel to plan and execute
intensive year-round programs"
House Gain Seen
In separate interviews here

and Republican National Chair
man William E: Miller said
Republicans have an excellent"
chance of winning at least A

Of optimism failed to remove

committee report on the ex-

These cities have almost

Mr.. Bliss told the national
