ALL WAS NOT LOST in Pittsburgh,
even after Haley's interception put the
Steelers in front. After all, the Redskins
had been down, 17-S. There was plenty of
time left in the final period. The way the
Redskins had been moving, all they needed
was the ball.
But here came the biggest, rawest rub
Of all. When the Redskins deployed for
the next kickoff, Jim Gibbons intoned:
"Deep for the Redskins are Dick James
and Leroy Jackson. :. :"
Poor Leroy, he's not quite Mr.. Red
skin. When McPeak traded the late Ernie
Davis TO the Browns he insisted on Bobby
Mitchell and Cleveland's first draft choice,
whom he specified as Jackson, from little

out. Speed is what Leroy's got but, I'M
fortunately, it's done little good on the few
occasions he's played. The Steelers' kick
off unerringly went to Jackson, not the
slower-footed, Sure-handed James.

Charlie Bradshaw, a Steeler tackle, re-
covered. Four plays later 1t was 1927.
And that, as the expression goes, was all
she wrote.
The next time the Redskins received a
kickoff, only moments later, Mitchell was
deep along with James.
All in all, it was an unfortunate after
noon for McPeak and busy day for the
living room coaches, who mourned the de-
parture of Haley and Lynch.
Snead, who is McPeak's boy, was en-
joying splendid game until his Grant

out the Redskins entirely.
And the Second-guesSers are going to
have field day in connection with Leroy.
They will be thinking that Theron Sapp,
freshly picked up by the Steelers from
the Eagles, played longer and with more
distinction yesterday than Jackson has
done in two seasons

STATISTICS

York's victory over Dallas saved
them from moving into base
ment apartment with the Cow
boys in the National Football
Leagues Eastern Division.
The Redskins seemingly had
enough scoring power and de-
fensive might to pull it out
after being down, 1913. They
took q 27-24 lead on Bobby
Khayat's second field goal early
in the fourth quarter before
things went haywire. Then they
virtually gave it to the home
team.
FumbIed Kickoff Hurt
The Norman Snead-to-Bobby
Mitchell passing combination
was razor sharp. The defensive
line was magnificent. Individ-
uals like Linebacker Bob Pelle-
GRIM, Guard Vince Promuto,
rookie Pat Richter and Dick
James had big days-big
enough to win.
But Leroy jackson and Frank
Budd fumbled kickoffs that
led to 10 points for the Steelers.
And three Of Snead's passes in
the last period fell into enemy
handsome for a touchdown.
That did it.
Even the penalties called
against Coach Bill McPeak's
men came at the most inoppor-
tune time. For example, pass
interference was called against
Lonnie Sanders when Buddy
Dial missed a fourth down pass
after the Redskins forwards
had repulsed Pittsburgh's run
ming game o half-foot from the
goal. Earlier, a 57-yard touch
down pass from Snead to-
Mitchell was nullified by o.

Show Me the Way

We've had another idea about the
Governments generally laudable plan to
ease Washington's downtown traffic
jams by staggering the hours at which
Federal employees come to work. 81
The scheme undoubtedly will help
lot in the morning rush, when no one
has anything more urgent on his mind
than getting to the office. But the
afternoons are a different story. It
seems doubtful, on second thought, that
spreading out the quitting time will
have much effect.
What we overlooked in our editorial
yesterday was the commuters favorite
eventide sport, called Waiting for Traf-
fic to Let Up. This is usually played in
the relaxing atmosphere of one or an
other Of the coy little GASES that dot the
downtown Washington landscape.
Ask any housewife who has watched
the roast turn from rare to medium to

you it's not the staggering of working
hours that's the problem; it's the stag

eminent try to solve that one If 1t dares.

Empty Waterfront

Perhaps their boat ride around the
Washington Channel waterfront in the
bright sunshine yesterday morning had
an inspirational effect on members of
the National Capital Planning Commits
sion. One can only hope so. From the
channel, as they viewed 1t, the South
west waterfront, with its impressive new
seawall, has become an empty, nearly
deserted, stage, ready and waiting for
the actors. 1t remains now for the Plan
ming Commission to approve the final
plan which win permit the project to
proceed.
The commission will have its oppor-
tunity to act tomorrow. Ironically, the
planners approved the basic concept of
the present plan almost two years ago,
but subsequently suggested that possible
improvements might result from further
study. We think the results Of these
studies have been highly beneficial,
largely due to the refinementS developed
by Washington Channel Waterfront,
Inc, the citizen group which served as a
consultant to the Redevelopment Land
Agency. Differences Of opinion, of
course, still remain, especially as to de-
tails. Surely, however, these are not sub
stantial enough to warrant any further
delay.
Earlier this week the commissions
Urban Renewal Committee debated, for
two days, the specific recommendation
It should make to the full commission
tomorrow. And there is no doubt that
the commission, II 1t set It's mind TO II,
could continue the debate for another
two years or so.
We hope, however, that the commit
tee has had the wisdom TO support the
essential features Of the excellent plan
developed by the citizens corporation,
and, II this proves to be the case, that
the commission will approve the plan. II
a firm planning decision is not reached
this week, In all likelihood none will be
reached until the fall. The commission
should see TO 1t that no such delay oc-
ours. For this is only first step. At
best, many other problems, which will
require many months TO resolve, still lie
ahead before the bright promise OF the
new Southwest waterfront becomes a
reality.
