THE POLITICAL MILL
Pushing Uncle Sam Too Far
By GOULD LINCOLN

Public attention today is
focused on two vastly impor-
tant problems - Communist
infiltration into the Western
Hemisphere and q ban on
nuclear weapons testing. In
both are involved security of
the United States. In both
are involved the aggressive
tactics Of the Communist
bloc, headed by the Russian
Soviet. The success of the
Communists in taking over
Cuba. and the growing Com
munist infiltration into 9TH
er American Republics are
realities. The constant ulti-
matums Of Soviet Russia -
its repeated take 1t or leave
1t attitudes at test ban con-
ferences which have now ex-
tended over many years -
have whitfield down our pro-
posals for adequate inspec-
lions to assure observance of
the ban. They have, indeed,
raised doubts In many minds
that the Communists have
any serious intention Of COM
ing to an agreement, certain
ly on any conditions but
their own.
The American people do
not want war. They do not
want a nuclear war. They
have been fed recently on
the idea that the Soviet Union
also does not want q nuclear
war. 1t doesn't. But evidently
what the Soviet Union does
want is to reach q position
where it can tell the United
States and the world its nu-
clear strength is so over
towering that our only re-
course is surrender.
1t Is time to start think
ing how far the United States
can go with halfway meas
ures, and how far with COM
promise. The United States
has checked the onward
sweep Of international COM
munism on a number Of &C.
caSions by firm action - as
1t did in Greece and Turkey
when the Truman Doctrine
was declared. And again
when this country fought the
Korean war. But nothing was
done to halt Communist Rus
STA on its march through
central Europe and into some
Of the Baltic states. Nothing
was done to prevent the take
over Of vast China by the
Communists. And the Com
munists have moved into
Southeast Asia, with steady
erosions there. And they are
seeking to get their tentac'es
into Africa.
Halfway Policy
The United States policy
toward Cuba and toward the
Communist infiltration into
other Latin American coun-
tries has been the halfway
type, not confined alone to
the Kennedy administration.
This country did act firmly
when Communists were about
to take over Guatemala. But
Cuba has q been q different
affair. 1t backed away from
supporting an invasion Of the
island by Cuban Freedom
Fighters at the Bay Of Pigs,
because 1t was told real ac-
ton resulting in the dislodg-
ment Of Castro and his Com
munist government would Of
fend all Latin America -
which after all, was just an

opinion. The result has been
q strong military and Com
munist subversion base in
Cuba. the end Of which is
not in sight.
Two United States Sena-
tors-one a Democrat Dodd
Of Connecticut) and the 9TH
er q Republican (Goldwater
Of Arizona) - have raised
the test ban issue In Senate
debate In no uncertain way.
Senator Dodd, in q lengthy
and detailed statement, said
this country has made so
many concessions to the Rus
slams in the matter Of in
spection and safeguards
against treaty violations that
he would feel compelled to
vote against q treaty incor-
porating these concessions.
Senator Goldwater told the
Senate Congress needed to
know whether the admins
tration is dismantling our
overseas military bases be-
cause they are no longer
needed "or because they
make Mr.. Khrushchev ner-
vous." He added: "Are these
moves part Of some kind Of
a deal involving Cuba and
disarmament plans2 I don't
have to remind you that the
administrations latest, fond
est hopes for a nuclear test
ban akthrough were
dashed by a new Soviet de-
mand for removal of Ameri-
can bases ringing Russia.
The question arises whether
the Defense Departments
policies are moves designed
to meet Russian objections
under the handy guise Of
easing East-West TENSIONS"
A Red Arsenal
President Kennedy and the
country reacted strongly to
Russian-built missile bases
IN Cuba and the installation
Of missiles capable Of de-
stroying American cities
within a range Of a thousand
miles or so last October and
November. Mr.. Khrushchev
backed off, promising the
withdrawal of all offensive
weapons" from Cuba, includ-
ing missiles and certain type
aircraft, and "on-site inspec-
ton" in Cuba to make sure
they would not be returned.
The Russian premier also
promised to withdraw Rus
sian troops from the island.
Some Of these promises have
been kept, the administra-
ton insists. But Cuba re-
mains a Communist arsenal
80 miles away from our coast,
a base for Communist infil-
tration into other American
republics.
Cuba's latest affront to the
United States has been the
harassing Of an unarmed
American shrimp boat off the
Florida Straits, by Russian
made MIG fighters. The
MICS were driven off by
United States Marine Phan-
toms - but not fired on.
President Kennedy has pro-
tested strongly this attack to
Castro. Cuba will be held re-
sponsible, the President said,
unless the MICS were flown
by Russians stationed in
Cuba. What would happen
then has not been cleared up.
The time for halfway meas
ures seems to be growing less
and less.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Fish Behavior Extensively Studied
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

Extensive studies Of fish
behavior now are underway
under sponsorship of the
Office Of Naval Research.
These include q special in
vestigation of Atlantic and
Caribbean sharks being con-
Quoted under the direction of
DR.. Robert Mathewson Of the
American Museum of Natural
History. A unique system Of
shark pens has been set up.
One Of the pens is equipped
to enable scientists to anes-
thetize very large sharks and
perform experimental surgi-
cal operations on them for
biochemical and pharmalogi-
cal investigations. After the
operations have been COM
pleted the sharks are re-
turned to another observa-
ton pen where their reac-
tons and behavior are noted.
Visual Cues Suspected
DR.. Evelyn Shaw of the
American Museum is invest
igating the development Of
the schooling habit in young
fish in an effort to deter
mine the sensory factors re-
sponsible for the phenome-
non. Among the factors be-
lieved to play q part are
visual cues. A large optoki-
netic device is in use which
measures the response Of the
young fishes to various NOV
ing patterns. Schooling re-
sponses of blinded fishes
also are being investigated.
DR.. william Tavolga OF the
American Museum is study
ing the significance OF sounds
made by fishes. Reasons for
most fish noises remain I'M
known but preliminary re-
search indicates that sound
is used among some species
for orientation with respect

DR.. Tavolga is studying the
characteristics OF the sounds
made by fishes under spe-
cific conditions. as when

drafted No. by the Pittsburgh Steelers in
1855.
Why nobody seems to know. Johnny
was hometown boy but it was evident
the Steelers had no intention of using him.
Jim Finks was the first-string quarterback
and Vic Eaton, drafted two rounds after
UnitaS, was No. 2 until Ted Marchibroda
came out of the service. Unitas never broke
into an exhibition game and was released
When he returned home he signed to
play for sandlot team called the Bloom
field Rams at Sc per game. That plus run
ming pile-driver, was what he was doing
when the Colts invested in an 8O-cent
phone call in February, 1885,
THE STORY OF HOW Unitas persisted
in playing on a rocky sandlot for Sc a week.
hoping TO be spotted by pro club, is true
But there is a variance at the end of the
tale. One has a choice of two versions:
Weeb Ewbank's or Don Kellett's Each con-
tradicts the other, which may or may not
be suggestive as to how they worked to-
gether.
Kellett claims that he was going over
some old league waiver lists and came
across Johnny's name 1T rang a bell with
me-" Kellett was quoted. Il remembered
that he had been high up on the Pittsburgh
draft list when he was senior at Louis
vile, and we'd had him down ourselves for
possible late pick. Also, I'd heard little
something about his sandlot playing. So
called him up, and that's the absolute truth.
1t makes me look brilliant, except that
I've got to admit never had any idea
things would work out this way"
Ewbank has been a dissenter at this
point That business about an old waiver
list is made-up story Weeb told a biog-
rapher Of Unitas. HE was signed after we
got letter from fan telling us there was
quarterback throwing passes for the
Bloomfield Rams who deserved chance
with the Colts, always accused Johnny
Of writing the letter himself"
TWO YEARS AFTER JOINING the
Colts Unitas was the No / passer in the
NIL leader Of the Ewbank teams that won
titles back TO back But in 1861 he injured
and reinjured the middle finger OF his
throwing hand
Last season the finger, which forever
may remain swollen still must have been
bothersome. Anyway, 1t wasn't the Unitas
OF $3.50 who was pitching for the Colts.
Ewbank looked at remnants OF the
team which once had boasted such heroes
as Alan Ameche, Buddy Young, L. O. Dupre,
Bert Rechchar and the younger Gino Mar
chetti, Art Donovan, Lenny Moore and
others. He no longer had the magic coach
ing touch. Weeb may have been as good or
better a coach than ever but the magic
touch is spelled Win, A 500 record wasn't
enough TO save him.

WIN LOSE OR DRAW
A Cooch's Magic Touch
Is Spelled Out WIN

NAME ALMOST ANY SPORT this side
of Russian roulette and you've fingered one
with greater security than coaching foot
ball. Weeb Ewbank can attest to this truth.
He's out as coach of the Baltimore Colts,
who won two NIL championships and have
not been losers under Weeb since 1856
The new boy is Don Shula, who is wide
ly disremembered here as a Redskin de-
fensve back in 1857. Shula is only 80 years
old out the question is whether Owner Car
roll Rosenbloom is making his youth move
ment in the proper department
The Colts are the guys who have been
growing too old They began to fade in 1860,
right after winning their second title in a
row. AS two-time champions they weren't
getting the cream of the draft choices and
there was no big demand for some of the
older Colts in trade.
Ewbank and the Baltimore general
manager Don Kellett certainly weren't 60
ing to give up Lenny Moore or John UnitaS
or Raymond Berry So their skills gradually
faded, although in their last three poor"
seasons they won 81 games, or three times
as many as the Redskins.
WHETHER WEEP EWBANK was a
first-rate coach has been debated often. He
could nave been one. The Round Man of
pro football had served under Paul Brown
at Cleveland when Mr.. Ice was acknowl-
edged to be the greatest genius in the bust
ness Now Brown, too, has been fired.
Nor are the memories of those Colts of
l958-59 easily erased. They were truly fine
teams, and Ewbank was their coach. He
had to win those two titles in different
ways, too.
In SO the Colts bowled over nine Of
their first 10 opponents and won the West
ern Division championship with two weeks
to play. But in the playoff against the
Giants they bad to sweat out a 23-l7 vic
tory in the first of all the football over
times.
u was the other way around in So
Complacency, injuries or advancing years,
maybe all three, begged them down. The
Colts were only a Az team in early Novem-
Der and Ewbank turned fat little tiger and
he dashed his troops. They won their last
five and buried the Giants in the playoff,
this time, 3l-l6.
THERE is A SUGGESTION that owner
Carroll Rosenbloom is not easy TO please.
After the SO title he was almost apologize.

Senators Add
Farm, Reveal
$4,000 Loss

The Senators added fourth
team to their farm system to-
day when they added the new
Peninsula club, which will rep
resent the Virginia cities OF
Newport News and Hampton.
The move came just a day
after the board of directors
approved a 20 per cent increase
in the player development pro-
gram for 1868.
The Carolina League, a Glass
B circuit last year but Glass A
under the new minor league
realignment, will expand to 10
teams, taking in Portsmouth
and Peninsula.
The Senator's Peninsula club
will play In the Newport News
Stadium, which will be reno
waited at an expense Of 100000.
1t will be a non-profit organ
ization. Bill Allaun and Herb
Morowitz, sports boosters from
the Tidewater area, will be the
principal directors.
President Pete Quesada re-
ported a loss Of $l21,974 for
1862 at the Senators annual
meeting yesterday, compared
to a $250,000 loss in 1861. All

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (AP) -
Floyd Patterson finally has
stepped into the ring and called
the shots on a return bout for
the heavyweight championship
but Sonny Liston may fire an
other knockout punch.
That is the situation today in
the off-again-on-again return
battle, which seemed settled
yesterday when Patterson's
attorney, Julius November, an
nounced the fight would be held
in Miami Beach April 4, I'M
der the auspices of Champion
ship Sports. Inc.
1t didn't take long before
Liston entered the ring. From
his corner in Chicago the
champion said he knew nothing
about the date and site for the
return with Patterson and en-
phasized they better start
talking to me about this thing"
Listens Chicago publicity
chief, Ben Bentley, said the
champion had not talked re-
Gently with Championship
Sports or with his own adviser,
Jack Nilon, about the details of
a rematch. Liston added:
Unless this thing is ex-
planned to my satisfaction, I'll
express my stand in a press
conference"
Details Incomplete
In New York. November ten
tatively had put an end TO the
guessing game over the date
and site with his announce
ment. November said the de-
tails have not all been worked
out for the bout at Miami
Beach's Convention Hall, but
indicated the fight will be tele-
cast TO theaters around the
country.
That was the setup for the
first fight, in which Liston
hardly gave the paying custo-
mers enough time to settle
back In their seats before dis
patching Patterson in 2 min
utes and 6 seconds OF the first
round at Chicago's Comiskey
Park September rs, 1862.
Patterson received about 81
million for the fight, while Lis
ton got S280.000 from the
S665. 400 gross and 81 million
ancillary rights-thcater televi-
sion, radio. etc. Liston re-
ceived only 1914 per cent OF ev-
erything, but will split go per
cent with Patterson this time.
