» V THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. EISENHOWER AND RUSSIANS Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, a real diplomat, has been making progress toward friendship with the Russians, but got a setback the other day. U. S. officials entering Eisenhow er’s office found him despondent. He was holding a copy of Time mag azine. “Look at that,” he said, “six weeks’ work gone.” Eisenhower pointed to a picture of a female entertainer in a Berlin night club standing on her head, legs apart, holding a picture of Stalin between them. Time had re produced the picture. “And just as I was making some progress with Marshal Zhukov,” Eisenhower mourned. “First he would scarcely see me. But re cently we have become pretty good friends. When I go into his office he says, ‘Here’s to Ike.’ ” Eisenhower went on to tell how Zhukov was blazing mad over the Time magazine picture. He had just come from seeing the Russian com mander who had demanded: “What are ; ou going to do about this?” “Nothing,” replied Eisenhow er. "What! You let the American press make mockery of the mar shal?” exclaimed Zhukov. “That’s what we fought the war for—the right to criticize, the right for people to say what they please,” said Eisenhower. Eisenhower went on to explain to the Russian that because one news paper or magazine published a pic- tuie of Stalin, it did not reflect the sentiment of either the Amer ican government or the American people, and that the American gov ernment scrupulously refrained from censoring the press on matters of this kind. However, the Russians continue to be sensitive. It is hard for them to understand the difference between a regulated press as in the Soviet and a free press as in the U. S. A. * * * NEW SUPREME COURT JUSTICE President Truman really let his hair down with Senator Burton when he called him in last week to tell him he was being nominated to the Supreme court. Catching Burton just before the Ohio senator was about to leave for C-ncinnati, Truman told him that he had actually promised the Su preme court job to another man, Robert Patterson, now secretary of war, but changed his mind. “Harold,” said Truman at the start of the interview, “I’ve made up my mind to appoint you to the Supreme court. “You were always my first choice,” Truman continued, “but I had some vacillations. I considered appointing Phillips of Denver, Park er of North Carolina and Patterson. “Finally I decided to appoint Pat terson and told him I was going to appoint him.” Truman then explained that It was better to leave Patterson in the war department to replace Stimson as secretary of war. “One of the things that disturbed me about your appointment,” Tru man continued, “was the probable claim that I might be playing poli tics in order to get a Democratic senator from Ohio.” (Truman had in mind the fact that Governor Lausche of Ohio, s Democrat, now can appoint a Democratic senator to replace Burton, a Republican.) “So I talked it over with Alben Barkley,” Truman explained, “and he advised that if I was convinced you were the right man, I should appoint you and let political conse quences go hang.” Note—Truman had picked up Senator Barkley at Paducah, Ky., the evening before and flown him back to Washington in his special plane, at which time they had conferred regarding the Burton appointment. Tru man, incidentally, seems to be leaning more and more on sage, experienced Barkley for advice. • • • CAPITAL CHAFF c. President Truman still keeps up his rapid-fire early-morning appoint ment pace, sees as many as 15 visi tors before lunch. Greek Publisher Basil Vlavianos visited Truman the other day, caught him sneaking a yawn and long stretch between call ers. C. A new breath of fresh air in the post office department: Gael E. Sul livan of Chicago, assistant postmas ter general. «. Visitors to the Franklin Roose velt Memorial library at Hyde Park have doubled since the late Presi dent’s death. Mrs. Roosevelt gave each of Henry Morgenthau’s chil dren a trinket from the former chief executive’s desk as a memento. C. When Nelson Rockefeller was eased out of the state department, workers in that building were startled to see truckers removing the furniture from his office. He had furnished his suite with his own fur niture. When the truck pulled away, even the chandeliers, which were Rockefeller’s personal property, had been taken. C. Suggestion to Paul McNutt— check on why General MacArthur and Philippine President Osmena permitted so many Jap collabora tionists to keep high office in Manila since liberation of the Philippines.

General MacArthur Receives Emperor Hirohito Japan’s emperor went to meet Japan’s conqueror, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur. It was the first time in 2,000 years of Japanese history that a mikado had left the royal palace to be received by a foreigner. Emperor Hirohito, “The Son of Heaven,” was dressed in formal morning attire, not in his flam- j boyant dress of admiral or marshal. The conquered ruler bowed to American correspondents. Uncle Sam’s Most Expensive Private First Class Pfc. Arthur Griser, insert, whose wife and 11 children are shown awaiting his return from Europe to their Pitcairn, Pa., home. They have been married 12 years and have three sets of twins among their 11 children. Their army allotment of S280 a month is believed to be the highest paid to any private first class. Griser is just as anxious to return to his family as the paymaster is to be relieved of this expensive soldier. It’s a Long Walk Up to the Top Football Gains Speed View of crowded Empire State building lobby after elevator strike [ went into effect. Workers seem hesitant about climbing stairs to their (offices, and have backing of health authorities who put limit at eight [flights for workers under 30 years old. An example of the quality type of football being displayed this season is demonstrated by Dan Dworsky of Sioux Falls, S. D., who will play fullback for Michigan. The end of the war has released navy stars. x ten about the “T.” And yet it is surprising the number of sidlin- ers who keep writing in to ask just what the “T” is and how it works. We’ll try, with no promise of suc cess, to make it simple—for the last time. 1. The “T” doesn’t demand old-fashioned blocking or hard body pressure. It depends more on speed and deception. 2. It needs a hard-hitting full back who can split an opened line. 3. It needs a fast-moving back who can circle a massed or tightened line. 4. It demands a good passer who can work with deception and smooth ball-handling. These latter three qualities put heavy pressure on any defense. The greatest pro “T” I ever saw operate was the old Bear brigade with Luck- man, Standlee, Gal- lernau and McAfee, if my memory isn’t too fuzzy. They hit you every known way. The greatest col lege “T” I ever saw at work was Notre Dame’s 1943 outfit with Bertelli, Creighton Miller, Kelly and two or three good fullbacks. They fell far away when Bertelli left, who was not only a great passer but the smoothest and trickiest ball-handler I’ve seen around. Ask Rip Miller, Captain Johnny Whelchel of Navy or Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech. It’s true that the old Bears and Notre Dame’s 1943 squad would have been hard to handle under any sys tem. Material makes the system more than any system ever made material. And material has made more coaches than any coaches ever made material. The main answer to football suc cess is your playing strength—the forward wall and the backfield— your man power. And don’t ever let anyone tell you a different story. Football coaches have done great jobs. Their general average is the highest in sport. But the best still need good football players to have winning teams. After all, they can’t rush out on the field and do their own pass ing, running, blocking and tackling. • • • Sports Fans’ Squawks Sports fans who move up into the 50 or 60-million class, ranging from ages between 10 and 80 years, are certainly entitled to their beliefs, their squawks, their praise and their blame. For, after all, they are the big part of sport, the major part by at least 90 per cent. They pay all the ex penses, all the salaries. They make both amateur and pro sports pos sible. And in too many cases they only get shoddy treatment and take the big shove around by both ama teur and professional promoters. They are taken for granted. They are rarely given any consideration from baseball, football, racing, box ing, golf or other sporting directors. They are usually the goats, who have grown accustomed to taking the worst of It. Their hardihood and their capacity for punishment is the most amazing feature of sport. They are too often packed in after the manner of human sardines at race tracks and other sporting cen ters. They are too often over charged. It has been said there is no law that forces them to take this beating. This is true. But they happen to love their games, whether it is box ing, baseball, football, racing, golf or something else. They are astonished at little cour tesies they are so seldom shown any where or any time by the hired peo ple who live off their main outlet for recreation and entertainment. They are really an amazing breed. They take it on the chin and on the shin, back of each ear, in the stom ach and also in the pocketbook.

Courses Too Tough Take golf, for example. It has always been my belief that any golf course should be trapped only for the star player. Put all trouble out beyond the 200 yard mark which the average player can’t reach. The duffer or average player has enough trouble trying to hit the ball or get his bogeys. Why should he pay uncounted millions to make his golfing life more miserable? We have built too many golf courses against the skill of the pros and the crack amateurs who, aft er all, give most of their life to golf I—and who pay nothing in return. Who cares whether a pro shoots a 63 or a 58? Why build courses to keep him from breaking par on courses which the average golfer can’t handle in a 95? | The Nelsons and the other par- breaking stars are a breed apart. Let them go around in even 3’s. Who cares? But why keep punishing the 98 per cent who pay all the freight? Golf is our greatest playing game for everyone. It is a friendly and a companionable game, demanding its share of psychology, philosophy, sportsmanship and nerve control— as well as physical skill. CLASSIFIED DEPARTME N T BUSINESS & INVEST. OPPOR.
