had to do business with him on
the World Series and All Star
game, and once Griff had busi-
ness with Sam.
Operators who worked at
the park received passes nat
urally. but one was used one
day by an operators WIFE" Sam
said. THE gate man stopped
her and sent the pass up to
Griff. He called me in and
said that II the operators were
going to let everybody use
them he'd have to take them
all UP. He was generous to a
fault in many ways, but not
about those passes"
Sam remembers Redskins
game at Griffith Stadium when
the press box was in the top
row Of the grandstand and
rainwater blew In on everybody.
The new" pressbox in the
temporary stand across the
field was much better. It only
swayed when q capacity crowd
jumped to its feet during an
exciting play and the rain blew
In from the front. The Red
skins game Sweeney remembers
best. Of course. is the 1870 loss
to the Bears.
They scored 50 fast 1t was
hard to keep track" he said
II turned my back to the field
and a fellow writing q running
story in the second row asked
the score. Thirty five to moth
ing I said. NO 1t isn't an
other fellow said. It's 42-0, the
Bears Just scored again."
Sam looks back on the Buddy
Baer-Joe Louis heavyweight
title fight at Griffith Stadium
as probably the most exciting
sports event Of his life. Oft
hand we can't think Of any
thing to surpass 1t that ever
happened here.
Sam remembers the explo-
sive situation when the lumber
ing Baer clubbed Louis into the
ropes with q sweeping right
and Joe toppled out of the
ring. For q moment ringsiders
thought they had witnessed the
fight upset Of the century, but
Referee Arthur Donovan n
stepped into the breech and
saved the highland probably
the ball park.
II don't know whether Baer
could have finished off Louis
or not" Sam said, but I'm
pretty sure Joe's head had
cleared when the ref let them
continue"
Sam worked with q lot OF
famous newspapermen, includ-
ing political writer's too nu-
merous to mention, and sports
celebrities like Eddy Gilmore,
Westbrook Pegler. Jack Cuddy
and many. many more. Some
we're easy TO deal with, others
had to be handled with kid
gloves. but diplomatic Sam
kept things smoothed over, the
wires hummins and copy
flowing.
II suppose the worst ex-
perience I ever had" Sam re-
called. with a wry smile, was
q golf tournament where one OF
our thirstiest telegraphers had
to work with q table full oi
booze three feet In front oi
him. ! kept him dry and going
until about midnight when ]
had q ride back into town
He got everything In but ended
under the table"
Happy retirement. Sam.

Navy Claims
So|eauShift
|sMis|eading
BY ROBERT SOMMERS
Star Staff Writer

Star Staff Writer
As q guard last year, Bob So
leau created o large amount Of
havoc with the Navy line
when usually mild-mannered
William and Mary succumbed,
20-l6, after giving the Middies
the scare Of their young lives.
Now the program lists So
leau. Q 6-foot-2. 2l5-p oun d
Pennsylvania, aS Q fullback
for Nays Homecoming game
Saturday at Annapolis. But
that's largely O mere change In
nomenclature. His duties will
be much the same.
They use him the same way
on Defense" steve Belichick,
the chief Navy scout who wit
messed the Indians TO victory
over The Citadel last Saturday,
said yesterday. Hes still the
left linebacker."
Since soleau was the South
ern Conference player Of the
year In 1862, 1t would appear
that the Indians could possibly
have wrecked their line by
switching such an outstanding
player to the b ackftel6, but
Belichick quickly sQuashed that
argument.
Needed Blocking Fullback
They haven't weakene d
themselves" he said. adding
that Coach Milt brewer doesn't
have another fullback who can
block with Soleau.
Some other fullbacks might
be more Of Q threat to the out
SIDE" Belichick said, but he
hits hard straight ahead. After
all, he's q pretty big boy"
In fact, the In dians don't
need more outside running
threats with Charley Weaver
and Scott Swan. Belichick
termed Weaver, the 5-foot-7,
147-pound scatback, an excit-
ing player who can be q real
problem, and called Swan, the
Annandale, Va, boy, his biggest
surprise.
But with 1t all, Belichick
came away from that damp
and misty night In Charleston,
s. c., In q state Of puzzlement.
Played Under Wraps
This team has shown very
little c o m pared TO what it's
shown in the past. I'm con-
vinced 1t played under wraps.
1t only ran one off-tackle play
with o halfback carrying the
ball.
I'm convinced William and
Mary has more passing, more
form ttons and more plays
than 1t showed in that game.
In its spring game 1t ran plays
from o formation with all the
backs together. It didn't use
that formation against The
Citadel.
And 1t threw only eight
passes" Belichick pointed out
that Norman Snead, the
Redskins quarterback, spent
part of the spring working with
Dan Henning, VILLA m and
Mary's pasSer. But nothing
Snead might have shown Hen
ming turned up in Charleston.
They have good receivers
and Henning g can throw the
ball." Belichick said of the In
6ians, 80 they must have more
Of q passing offenSe than
they've shown. I have a feeling
I know less about William and
Mary than I did about West
Virginia which hadn't played q
game before last Saturday"
Meanwhile Wayne Hardin,
the Navy coach, admitte d
there's . possibility Of overcon-
fidence In the Middies' camp
following the SIT opening VIC
tory over West Virginia that
vaulted Navy to fifth place in
the national rankings.
This Is probably the best
William and Mary team In 10
to is years and we're not 50
great q football team that we
can afford to take anybo dy
lightly"

The most intriguing notice the Post
Office has put out since the plea for
muzzled and leashed dogs is this: "Your
mailman deserves your help - keep
harmful objects out Of your letters"
Now, we know about some harmful
objects-quite few Of them arrive the
first Of every month. But Postmaster
General Day apparently had something
else in mind, and we asked what 1t
was. You probably never would have
guessed that, among the most trouble
some articles, are soda bottle caps and
metal can tops. They get into the mails
because Junior is trying TO win bike,
or Nom is turning in tops toward new
juicer. Keys, fountain pens and the
trinkets Grandma sends the young ones
don't help either.
The problem has been acute since
the advent Of high-speed cancelling
machines, automatically feeding $4,000
letters an hour. Once the mailed gadg-
cts get into the works, something has
got TO give. The result is a breakdown
in costly machinery, destruction OF the
letter and even injury to postal en-
ployes, which could be serious. In the
interest OF faster and safer service, the
Post Office solicits your cooperation.

Mrs. John M Brady Of Birmingham,
Alabama, has had thrilling experience.
Some months ago, while mentioning in
Paramus, New Jersey, she found a roll
OF 500 bills on a parking lot next TO a
restaurant. The roll added up TO $1,000,
and she turned 1t over to the local
police, who assured her that II would be
handed back 10 her In due course unless
somebody claimed II and could prove
ownership.
Well, despite publicity in the news
papers and on the air, no such person
ever came forward, and so the officials
OF Paramus now have awarded the find
TO Mrs. Brady. Like herself, her father
is pleased. Unlike her, however, he has
felt moved TO philosophize on the matter
. for the benefit Of news reporters. Re-
ferring TO the officials decision, he has
declared that my faith is restored in
! the integrity Of human beings. In addi-
-tion, maybe now some OF my neighbors
viii stop calling my daughter stupid for
turning the money in"

Public Business

The strange and unnecessary secrecy
which surrounds the Alexandria school
budget is understandable a matter of
some concern. Scarcely any public bust
ness stimulates as much interest as the
school budget does in the average
community. Customarily, therefore, the
pertinent facts about budgetary pro-
posals are made available to the public
at the earliest possible time. In Alex
andria, however, the School Boards
budgetary proposals and decisions are
withheld until the City Council sees fit
to make them public some months later,
apparently in abbreviated form, along
with all the other segments of the city
budget.
In failing to release this information,
the chairman Of the School Board says
his group is merely abiding by require
ment of the city charter. If that is the
case, the charter should be changed as
soon as possible.
On another aspect Of secrecy, how
ever, we think that those people who
are suggesting that the public must
have access to all the deliberations of
the School Board, either directly or
through the minutes of executive ses-
sions, are talking through their hats.
The fact is that a good many subjects
which are the proper business of school
board simply cannot be fully aired. Some
Of them must be handled behind closed
doors. Perhaps the Alexandria School
Board is abusing this privilege, and.
conducting too much business in execu-
tive session. If so, this should be stopped.
The decision, however, is one which has
TO be left for good or for bad, pretty
much in the hands Of the board itself.

Lobor's Birthday

Pausing briefly in It's own con-
siderable labors, the Labor Department
is marking the 50th anniversary Of
its role in the saga of the American
working man and woman. The smallest
OF cabinet rank departments, Labor
probably has undergone more surgery
than all the others combined. But as
1t enters its second half-century, there
certainly are no signs of sickness.
Rather, Labor under its new Sec
rotary, w. Willard Writ, is continuing
to roll with the economic punches, to
reshape its services to meet today's
problems which, except for new tech
biological advances, are no more for
midable than those OF SO or rs years
ago. Their immediacy only makes them
seem so.
The first secretary, william B.
Wilson, had problems, too-mass i'm
migration, child labor, low-wage-long-
hour sweat shops-to name few. But
we're they more difficult than the '20s
with their bloody strikes, "yellow-dog"
contracts, and large-scale mechanical
ton? That was another day when many
feared the machine would replace the
worker.
If those times were trying, then
the ensuing depression decade was more
so, but 1t also introduced the changes
which in time have lifted the working
man and woman from drab existences
to place In the sun. In all these
changes the Labor Department has
adjusted and readjusted in its role as
mentor, arbiter and, most Importantly,
stimulator Of employment.
If today's problems bulk large and
menacing in our own time, it is .reas-
surfing to know Labor Department Of
ficials are not noted for their crying.
A quick look backward discloses too
many slim pay envelopes, too many
broken noggins, too many breadlines to
make them seem like good old days"
Every problem in its day has been
whipped, and Labor is now tackling
automation retraining programs, youth
unemployment, equal racial opportunity
and migratory labor in that same spirit
Of optimism. AS Secretary Writ puts 1t:
"The presiding fact in our time and
IN any other time is the fact of change.
We must take the offensive with
change and make it the instrument
for mans deliverance, instead Of per-
hitting it to become the instrument
Of his destruction"

is my conviction that in q

Of the people of Puerto Rico

delivered by the director of

The ounce Of truth which

nate Mr.. Tucker "chief OBJ

this speech gives him at least
temporary advantage.

To begin with, the mem

No union leader" Of this or

negotiate the undesirable
