air of urgency because of Negro
impatience.
Looking forward to the 1864
presidential contest which is ex-
pected to be close, politicians are
fearful that a European jaunt by
Kennedy at this time would not
endear him to Negro voters and
that Republicans would make an
issue of it.
Editors and columnists have
pointed out that there are more
reasons why Kennedy should not
make the trip than there are rea-
sons for his going.
They point out that in Germany
which he plans to visit, talks with
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer would
be useless since the aged German
leader will be retiring shortly.
The unsettled political situation
in Italy and the death of Pope
John would make an italian visit
fruitless.
President De Gaulle of France
has made it plain he is not inter-
ested in talking with Kennedy at
this time, and Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan's position is so
shaly that little is to be gained by
the United States in Kennedy hold
ing conferences with him.
1t has also been pointed out that
with the bad image created abroad
by the civil rights struggle in the
United States, Kennedy might be
subjected to inhospitable recep-
tons, pickets and demonstrations

Nobody knew why.

are not experts at making q

perience.
"Catchers, shortstops and
second basemen get most of the
tag plays. How many times in

often.

Tom Cheney in the first game
Of the series, the run that
broke a scoreless tie in the
seventh.
It was in the bottom of the
seventh, and Hector Lopez was
on first base with two outs and
with a one-ball-and-two strike
count on Clete Boyer.
''I've never seen Cheney with
better stuff" Houk said as he
reviewed the situation. Il fig
ure somebody is going to win
this ball game, to 0. because
Ralph Terry is pretty sharp,
too.

mind. I figure that he has the
best Of the count on Boyer and
that he is going to try to slip
over a low curve and make
Boyer bite at it for a third
strike.

bounce into the dirt, and ]
hope this might happen. So !
signal for Lopez to run on the
pitch. and If it is a ball and in
the dirt he should make second
base.
But Cheney crosses me up.
He throws a slider that hangs,
and Boyer reaches for it and
rips 1t through the third base
man and into leftfield. Hinton
has trouble picking the ball up,
and Lopez scores all the way
from first base because he is
running on the pitch. 1t makes
me look good, but that's not

Maryland Is Safe

The Justice Department sees about
as much chance for returning most of
the District of Columbia to Maryland as
there is for giving back Manhattan to
the Indians. That, in effect, is its
answer to Representative John Kyl's
quixotic scheme to pawn off the District
on our good neighbors.
If the Iowan figures this recession
OF land as short cut to giving District
residents home rule, it appears he has
another think coming. The Justice
Department sees the idea not only as
absurd, but probably illegal. The plan
would give Maryland back all the land
ceded the Federal City in 1871 except
2.6-Square-mile area of mostly Govern
nent buildings.
That would leave about rs families
living in the District But, remember,
the District now has the right to vote

OF course this still does not solve
the problem Of getting the poStman

be recalled, incidentally, that in 1859

the Navy engaged in mail rocketry,

via Regulus I missile fired from

so complicated the missile had to be

Although the Post Office Depart

doing an excellent job of delivering
