Sides With De GouIIe

Your editorial writers ana
Max Freedman are having a
hey-day over De Gaulle.
AS an American I fear that
the present administration
would not defend Western
Europe If the chips were
down. And I know many more
Americans who are Of the
same fear and belief. The at
titude and behavior Of our
Government since World War
II has rarely been fundamen-
tally reassuring to the gov
ernments and thinking peo-
pie Of Western Europe. Since
the Korean War and particu-
larry since the advent of Rus
sian nuclear power 1t has be-
come less and less so to them.
1t is we, of course, who pulled
Europe out of a very deep
hole during World War II
and aided her with tremen-
dous sums of money for years
after. However, there has
been q growing and uncom-
Portable feeling that our Gov
eminent has very little SYM
patty with the wish and
intention to make Western
Europe a really great power.
And, there is also a growing
conviction at home and
abroad that actually we are
no longer the true apostles
of personal liberty and free
enterprise.
The Government of the
United States and a large
part Of the American press
have been more or less an
tagonistic toward European
interests in Asia and Africa
and other places since short
ly after World War II and as
a result many thinking Euro
peans believe that the United
States is out to run the world
via a rapprochement with
the Soviets, a hegemony Of
the new countries and a rele-
cation Of Western Europe to
a minor position. American
pressure on the French and
British because of Suez at the
time when the Hungarians
were gloriously trying to
throw off the Russian Com
munist yoke is very fresh in
many minds. The final and
most devastating proof Of the
American governments lack
of determination to with
stand communism is CUBA!
This appalling disgrace has
Invested the opponents of
American purpose of any ar
gument worth citing.
So, what would you have
De Gaulle and Adenauer do?
Would you have them water
down the rising stamina and
power of Western Europe by
admitting Britain to the
Common Market under con-
ditions which would compro-
mise the basic strength Of
that organization? Less than
four years ago Britain scorned
the Common Market. -Four
years hence she will likely be
in the Common Market-but
not to strengthen any plans
for the 1960-64 Kennedy adj
ministration!

DeoA NSAAAoh AfuAeoA
AS one Of her guests was
leaving, he asked his hostess,
Elizabeth Fairall, to meet
him in Paris. Maybe I will
one of these days." replied
the woman who proudly
wears the French Legion of
Honor, as an Honorary Citi-
zen of Paris and a member of
the Ancient Society Les
Chevaliers du Tastevin,
France. Yesterday she cele-
brated her SD birthday at a
party she gave for her friends
at the Washington Club.
Miss Fairall greeted her
guests in the midst of a num-
Der of floral bouquets sent for
her birthday. Her famous sig
natures Of fashion, the mink
jacket. and. armload Of silver
bracelets loaded with charms
were in evidence, as was her
red Legion of Honor ribbon
on her dress, in her favorite
shade, gray.
Present were two former
colleagues, Arthur Madison,
vice president, and Jennings
Snider, secretary-treasurer of
Julius Garfinckel & Co., the
store of which she is vice
president emeritus. Fifty
years Of her life were spent
in the field of retailing with
Julius Garfinckel g. Co.
Party for Her
When she retired in 1855,
a party was given in her
honor in New York at the
Waldorf Astoria by some 800
members of the fashion in
dustry. Senator Barry Gold
water told of the many times
he had observed her "unerr-
ing good taste and eye for
quality" and said he had
noted it for his own use in
his own retail establishment
in Phoenix. Leading Ameri-
can fashion manufacturer,
Ben Reig, said at that time
she would be elected to FASH
ions Hall of Fame on the
first ballot.
Keeps Up
Miss Fairall still keeps up
an active interest in the
world of fashion. The last
book she read was Bernard
Roscho's THE Rag Race"
She said she also thought
the news reports from Paris

HoIos' Current Honor
May Be Understoted
By FRANCIS SrANN

" GNSNbN&tS DAMN
(he's now travelling secretary of the base
ball White Sox), once noted:
1.-THE scoreless periods were so frequent
that one college coach remarked, The
Bears have the only offense in football
that, If left alone long enough, will stop
ITSELF"
But this was Jones' formation, and
Halas' baby, too. Papa Bear may have
called himself retired, but he never had his
hand very far from the throttle.
WHEN JONES HIMSELF retired as ac-
tive coach Of the Bears who do YOU think
succeeded him In SO? Match, Halas. And
now George discovered on the University
OF Chicago campus q dour, gray genius
OF football strategy named Clark Shaugh-
messy.
Shaughnessy didn't use the T at Chi
cago, which by this time was undergoing
what became complete blackout of foot
ball, but he was enchanted by what he saw
OF the T as practiced by the Bears on
Sundays. Together they made threesome
Of dreamy strategists -Halas, Shaughnessy
and Jones in an advisory capacity-and
conquered the one big drawback to the
formation: Turning the ends.
Toward the end Of the 193Os the Bears,
coached by HalaS, had a fantastic roper
toire. It was reported they had approx
mately 400 plays and variations, and Papa
Bear never bothered to deny It, Somebody
once asked Halas If all his quarterbacks
were Phi Beta Kappas
NO." Halas replied, "but they could be
by the time they learn all the plays"
RALPH JONES IS LONG gone from
the scene, and so is Shaughnessy. But
Halas remains. Only one other man in
sports had a career that uaralleled
Georges, and he was Connie Mack, who
also owned and managed (coached) his
team. Only Connie, as he grew older, saw
his Philadelphia Athletics go steadily
downhill.
There was time only few years ago
when the same fate seemed to be in store
for Halas, who by his "retirements" gave
some the impression that he felt untitled
to coach actively. Four times in all he
turned over the reins, although when he
quit in November, 1912, it was to Join the
Navy for World War H.
Now, moving toward his seth birthday
which is only weeks away, and in his 44th
year of coaching. Papa Bear is pro coach
Of the year for SO. His personal record in
the toughest of all leagues-295 wins, 100
losses and % ties-suggests that his cur
rent honor is understated.

TT WASN'T MUCH Of contest for pro
football coach Of the year in any Of the
wire service polls. 1t was George Halas by
many lengths, eloquent tribute to Halas'
feat Of coaching his Chicago Bears into the
National Football League playoff a week
from Sunday.
All that's needed now for hearty pre-
holiday chuckle is fer Papa Bear to an
nounce his retirement again. This has
got to be the most retired and unretired
man in the history Of sports.
All of us were good deal younger, and
some weren't born, when George retired
the first time. This was back in 1929 He
had organized the Bears, formerly the
Staleys Of Decatur, Ill, and was too old
(S4) to play any longer, and he also felt
that he had shortcomings as mentor.
I'VE thought it best" Halas said as
he hired Ralph Jones Of little Lake Forest
Academy, ito get competent coach"
RALPH JONES is PRACTICALLY the
forgotten man of pro football. He was
small, bald-headed man who virtually was
unknown outside Of the Lake Forest cam
pus, yet Of all the coaches in history who
played part in the development Of the
modern T formation, none was bigger than
Jones.
The T is the oldest formation of all,
although the original was closed tightly
and didn't have the halfbacks and ends
out. It was so old as to be considered OBJ
solete at the time Halas first retired" In
deed, when Ralph Jones coached the Bears
In 1880 they we're the only pro team-for
that matter, the only prominent team-us-
ing it.
Tucked away in his small academy,
Jones had long been experimenting with
variations. When he joined the Bears the
little man split the ends, spread the half
backs and introduced the man in motion.
Historians record that Jones was greeted
with pessimiSm and skepticism by the Bear
players the first time he called meeting
and drew his KS and O's on the blackboard.
RED GRANGE WAS ONE Of the Bears
Of that era. He recalls Jones, sensing the
diSapproval Of his troops, said:
$50 you think it won't work? The hell
it won't! I've been working it for 20 years"
The Jones wasn't as exciting as now.
He won a championship with the Bears in
1882, but the T at that stage produced Sc
ries Of dull, low scoring games, many of
which were ties. Howie Roberts, who re-
ported much Of the history Of the Bears
