SPORTS
ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)
NEW YORK, (/P)—No one would
suspect Ted Schroeder of shilling
for pro tennis, even though it is
generally expected that his pal,
Jack Kramer, will turn pro before
another season. . . . Ted is so ama
etur that he plans to hurry home
after the Davis Cup matches this
week end without waiting for the
national singles championships.
He has his refrigeration business,
a family and a couple of tickets
for the Rams-Redskins football
exhibition all waiting in Califor
nia. . . . Nevertheless Schroeter
figures now is the time for the
pros to get set on a sound basis.. . .
“The basis of really good tennis is
international competition and
there hasn’t been any for several
years,” Ted explains. “Fellows
like Jake and myself are getting
older and most of the younger
players coming along haven’t had
the benefit of international play.
This would be the time for the
pros to stop depreciating amateur
tennis and to show how well they
can play. They ought to realize
that they depend on the amateur
game for new players.” ... As for
the matches against Australia, Ted
“Ike" Does Not See
W ar Ahead But We
Must Be Prepared
(By Allan Fisher)
NEW YORK, </P)—General of
the "Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, j
army chief of staff, told American
Legionnaires today he saw no im
mediate threat of a global war but
added that United States armed
: forces should be strong enough to
make an aggressor realize war
would “likely be fought over his
territory.”
The wartime leader of Allied
j armies said that “no great nation
1 is today in position deliberately to
provoke a long and exhausting
conflict with any hope of gain.”
Eisenhower spoke to massed
thousands of Legionnaires at the!
second session of their 29th annu
al convention in the 71st regiment
armory.
shows just the proper amount of1
caution. . . . “Those fellows didn’t
play well at Longwood, but they
lost there in 1938, and went to
Germantown and beat Budge and
Mako. Kramer, of course, is a great
player. I have to concede him two
points on his service alone and
two points is a lot in any game.”
Federal Govt.
Withdrawing From
Native Education
JUNEAU, (/P)—'Belief that it is
‘‘the intent of Congress” that the
federal government wit h d r a w
from the field of education in
Alaska, was expressed yesterday
by William B. Warne, assistant
secretary of the interior.
In support of his statement,
Warne cited action by the recent
Congress in not voting the full ap
propriation customarily granted
for operation of native schools in
the Territory. The lack of funds
has forced many of the schools to
close with students being trans
ferred into public schools.
Warne has been touring Alaska
with Joseph Flakne, chief of the
Alaska branch of the division of
territories, and Dr. Harlan Bar
row, special consultant of settle
ment problems. He plans to visit
Sitka and other sections of South
east Alaska before returning to the
States.
Flush Beats
Straight; Law or No
OKLAHOMA CITY, (/P)—There
is nothing in the law books about
it but attorney general Mac Q.
Forsake Europe
To Bolster U. S.
WASHINGTON, (>P)—Chairman
Dirksen (R.-Ill.) of a special House
i investigating committee said today
Congress must decide next year
between bolstering world freedom
and abandoning Europe “to hus
band our strength at home.”
The decision, he said, will be
made in terms of money.
Dirksen’s group, made up of
members of the appropriations and
armed services committees, was
authorized by the House to study
both military and economic condi
tions in Europe and the Near and,
Middle East. It is one of several
similar inquiries either in prog
ress or contemplated.
.
Williamson says a flush beats a
straight at poker in Oklahoma.
The “opinion” was given A.
Richard Fellow, Jackson, Mich.,
who wrote he had heard there was
a law in Oklahoma to the effect
that a flu^h beats a straight.
Williamson checked his statute
books and advised Pellow that
Oklahoma lawrmakers “have never
invaded the field which you men
tioned.”
However, he added, a little pri
[ vate research had convinced him
| the flush is the better hand—
where it is the law or not.

Earth Shocks
Reported
WASHINGTON, (^ — George
town university reported today
that its seismograph recorded a
“fairly strong” earthquake at
9:41:20 a.m., eastern standard
time, yesterday. ^
The university seismologists
said the shocks reached maximum
intensity at 11:10 a.m., and con
tinued until 12:45 p.m.
They estimated location of the
quake at about 5.200 miles north
west of Washington, in the same
direction and only slightly closer
than “strong” shocks which had
been recorded less than eight
hours earlier, at 2:02.33 a.m., EST.
The shocks were described as pos
sibly in the Aleutian Islands or
Kamchatka Peninsula area.
The seismologists said both
shocks were strong enough to have
done considerable damage had
they occurred in populated areas.
