ST. LOUIS, May % (AP).-
The National Football League

gative, but there may be some
investigations" He said no
players are under investigation
now.

The announcement came at
the annual spring meeting of
NFL club owners, the first such
Injecting since Rozelle indefi-
nitely suspended Paul Hornung

Alex Karras of the Detroit
Lions April II for betting on
league games. He fined five
other Detroit players $4,000
each and the Lions $4,000 In
the same incident.
Rozelle said that the idea of
hiring a special investigator is
not new. The league has been
thinking on those lines for two
years, Rozelle said. The betting
did not hasten the action, he
said, but the appointment
Should prevent recurrence of
such unfortunate events"
I'VE have felt all along that
we never can do too much sur
veillance and this special aide
(Hamilton) should be most
helpful in preventing any trou-
BILE and in keeping football
clean"

the post June /. has been a
Los Angeles police officer for
26 years. He has been COM
mended by the Kefauver Com

for the coming season on q
one-year trial basis. The limit
had been SO for the last two
seasons.
Cards Keep Title
The owners also decided on
a one-year injury list register

The Hirsch story illustrates the

many contemporary Europeans
when they clear national cobwebs
out of their minds. Hirsch tells
the story to show the absurdity
of teaching European history
along national lines. Nationalism
has so distorted history that 1t
is difficult for older generation
Europeans to recognize their COM
mon heritage. But the cobwebs
are being swept away-or were
being swept away until De Gaulle
began his wrecking operation.
II De Gaulle intends to COM
plete his wrecking Job. he will
have to dig UP some tender roots
that have begun to thread their
way through European soil. He
will have to reverse a trend which
has been gathering momentum in
the European schools. For there
is a new generation Of European
young people whose imagination
has been kindled by the dream
of a Europe united in freedom
and prosperity. liberated from the
dead hand of past centuries Of
hatred and prejudice. With his
eyes fixed on a future in his
