FINE CUT FOR FAN

ST. LOUIS (AP) = A Phila-

his speeding fine because he,
the arresting officer and the
judge were Stan Musial fans.

St. Louis from Philadelphia to
see the famous Cardinal base

his way home, Boyle was ar

limit by eight miles per hour at
Litchfield, Ill.
Boyle told Illinois state pa
Iolman Leland Storm and Magis-
trate Henry Cress why he was in
the area. Storm said he too was
Musial fan and Boyle should
get a break. Judge Cress agreed
and cut the fine in half, so
cents for each mile over the
limit rather than the customary
dollar.
Then the judge asked BOYLE

ert Mercer, Superintendent of
Schools of the Lewes District,
has announced that the Board
Of Education had approved Coach
Hanley'S request to be relieved
of the coaching Of major sports,
effective at the close of the pre-
sent football season. In his seven
teenth year of coaching football
and basketball, Hanley's record
shows a history of success sful
coaching. Between l947 and 1859
he served as co-coach of foot
ball with Tony Georgiana, COM
piling a record of 81 wins, "A
losses and five ties. For the
three complete seasons begin
ming In 1860, when Georgiana
moved to the De La War; High

record was five wins, l6 losses,
and two ties. This season, to
date, his record is one win and
six losses. AS basketball coach
from l947 to 1863 he compiled
a record of l67 wins and 95

outstanding athletes. It is ex-

sometime In December. Both
boards are thinking in terms Of
a city manager type of govern
ment, Manning said. Today the
public works board has a gen
era1 manager and the other busi-
ness is conducted by a mayor
and commissioners. Commits
sioner Thomas j. Orr outlined
the route last week which may be
followed to bring about the new
charter. The boards plan to draw
up a town charter, calling on the
urban affairs division for advice
and aid. The charter may then be
presented to the community In
the form Of a referendum. If ap-
proved It will be forwarded to
the General Assembly for enact
ment. However, new charter
probably would not be considered
by the General Assembly until
1865. Manning said there was
nothing In particular that
prompted the move other than
a desire for a smoother working
system In handling the town busi-
ness. Orr pointed this out also,
telling Of the co-ordinating prob
lens encountered by the boards
in dealing with municipal affairs.
He cited as an example the fact
that the commissioners may ap-
prove a new road, without giving
thought to water and sewer lines,
which means that the public
works board then faces the diff
ficulty Of putting in the lines.
"There's been talk of this change
for years but It was never
brought to head" Manning said.
'T don't anticipate too much op-

ments I've heard around favor

News and commercial en-

on whether to accept manage
ment's contract proposals or to
strike the newspaper.
The old contract expired at
midnight last night, and the
Washington Newspaper Guilds

by that deadline.
Guild members scheduled a

dation for acceptance or rejec-

until late last night, in an
effort to prevent a strike.
Both sides have modified
their contract proposals since
James Holden and Gilbert Nc
Cutcheon, Federal mediators,

Both sides agreed that wages
were the main issue, although
there also were disagreementS

Is the Key Man on White House Staff

joining Mr.. Johnson's staff in
an association that has con-
tinued with only two inter-
ruutions.
Beaten In Congress Race
One was war service. which
took him to Africa. Corsica
and Italy. He was discharged
as a major.
The other was q personal
fling In politics. This was in
1851 when he left to run fol,
Congress from Texas 18th
District. He was defeated and
returned to Mr.. johnson, then
in the Senate, as his No. l
aide.
While in the Army, he mar
ried the former Marjorie
whitehill in 1915. They have
two daughters and four sons
Elizabeth Emma, Is; Walter W.,
IT,, IS; twins, John D. and Jo-
seph, Is; Lyndon Anthony, 8,
and Anne Chenille, 2.
They live In q rambling, six
bedroom home in Northwest
washington, and the family Is
finding it sees less Of Mr.. Jen-
kins than it ever did.
Has Johnson's Confidence
He has a tremendous capac-
ity for work. and his RESPONSE
bilities in the White House
during the transition are TAX
ing all his time.
But in his spacious office. all
seems quiet and well organized.
"I never heard him raise his
voice in anger or otherwise" q
friend said. He is never any
thing but considerate. He Is
kind. No man can do more
work on as many different
matters as Walter"
No one, according to close
associates, has "the total con-
fidence" of the President as
does the retiring Texan who
appears almost shy.
But perhaps the greatest &C.
colade was in the comments Of
one friend who said that, in
the back-biting Of politics. II
never knew q man who was
jealous Of Walter and his posi-
ton"

When friends and associates
refer to Walter Jenkins, q new
key man IN the White House,
they talk In superlatives.
One man VINO has known
President Johnson's chief as
sistant for many years said
walter Is really the indispen-
sible man to the President"
He added that his loyalty,
his ability and his rapport with
the President "cut across the
whole range Of the Presidents
work"
When the President moved
into the White House. Mr.. Jen-
kins moved In with him. So I'M
obstructive has he been, so
much does he stay in the back
ground that few White House
reporters have even come to
know him.
But in q large office at the
opposite end Of the West Ex-
ecutive offices from the Presi-
dents oval room, Mr.. jenkins.
most Of the time is shirt sleeves,
is hard at work.
Lacks an Official Title
SO far, he has no official
title and no one could care less.
When the President gets
around to organizing the White
House, everyone expects the
45-year-old soft-spoken Texan
to be the second man.
No plans have been an
nounced. but the new Presi-
dent. who has a great sense Of
orderliness in his work, will
probably have some innova-
tons regarding the White
House organization.
While he may not have such
a title. Mr.. jenkins is expected
to emerge as q sort Of chief Of
staff under the President.
He has worked with the
President for 10 years and was

The modern idea that speed
and finesse are more useful
than sic In football seems to
have captured the fancy Of the
oddsmakers who have installed
Maryland and Navy as IA
vorites in their debuts today
and cast George Washington
as an underdog.
The Terps, with the area
scene almost all to themselves,
spotted North Carolina State
an average of 10 pounds a man
in the line in their Byrd Sta
dunn affair, yet were favored by
3la points.
This undoubtedly was due to
Maryland's snazzy passing at
tack and Quarterback Dick
Sinner, who ranked third ma
tionally in competitions a year
ago. He breaks a Terp record
every time he completes a pass
The Terps also showed what
speed could do last season when
Kenny Ambrusko scampered "a
yards on a punt return to beat
the Wolfpack, 1916.
Although there are mixed
opinions on how successful the
Terps will be this season, a
crowd Of about $4,000 was an
ticipated for the opener.
The TerpS have won their
last four opening games, and
Sinner, in particular, was brill
liant in the last one. He set a
Maryland single-game total
yardage record with 272 yards
