ander Y. Vlasov. He also had
some derisive words for the
British.
Khrushchev spoke out as 'he
resi.ed in the 2,000 year old
Srwe Dagon (Golden Pagoda),
after climibing nearly 200 steps
to the heart of the famous tem
pie. He and Soviet premier Bui
jganin were touring Rangoon
shrines on the second day of
their week’s visit no (Burma.
Chatting with Burmese am
bassador to Russia Maxmg Ohn
and accompanying iforeign cor
resipondents, Khrushchev ad
mired the temple’s few wood
carvings, then lashed out.
“There are some very stuipid
people in America. After we
j criticized comrade Vlasov, they
tried to persuade him to stay.
The French also repeated this
stcpid mistake the Americans
had made.”
Vlasov’s work was censured
by the SovietL igovernment while
he was touring the United
States and France with other
Russian architects.
AFL suspends
pilots on chaines
of strike-breaking
NEW YORK (/P) The AFL to
iay suspended one of its un
ions. the Air Line Pilots Assn.,
on charges of attempting to
break a strike of another AFL
union, the Flight Engineers, a
gainst United Air Lines.
The AFL convention voted
the suspension to be effective
Dec. 12 unless the AiLPA by
that time si.opped fillinig jobs
of striking engineers with AL
FA members.
Negotiations were in progress
between the two unions, in ef
forts to sa.tle the inter-union
dispute.
The 1,000 member Engineers
group began their strike Oct.
24 in protest against a company
policy of requiring engineers
to have pilot qualifications.
This has had (the effect of (giv
ing the jobs to ALPA members
Iif the ALPA withdraws its
members from flight engineer
jobs, as appearly likely in view
of the situation, union officials
said none of United’s four en
gine planes could fly because of
government regulations requir
ing engineers on such planes.
BERLIN (/P) U. S. ambassa
dor James B. Conan)! declared
today the Western allies intend
to remain in Berlin until Ger
many is unified.
The ambassador reiterated
the Western pledge as an an
swer to the new Soviet, move
which appears designed to end
occupation status .for East Ber
lin and include that quarter of
the city inside (the communist
East Germany republic.
Con ant told a news confer
ence that the incident created
by deten) ion of four Americans
in East Berlin on Sunday was
serious.
He came here especially to
day to illustrate how serious
tlhe U. S. government views it.
The East German commun
ists declared that the four-pow
er occupation status of Berlin
is now “non-existent.”
The declaration was made
iby Neues Deutschland, official
newspaper ‘of the East German
communist part y.

SITKA HIGH DEFEATS
SHELDON JACKSON 43-30
IN FIRST TOURNEY GAME
Norman Wood. Sitka's bulge
pivot man, and Terry Nelson,
personally conducted the Tim
ber Wolves to a 43-30 victory
over Sheldon Jackson before
a disturbingly small crowd in
the opening round of the Lions
Annual tournament last night.
The Timlber Wolves will
meet the Edgeeumlbe Braves in
the title game for {the top
prize in a cladh scheduled to
get underway at 8 p. m. in the
Edgeoumibe Field House to
morrow niight. A preliminary
game is set for 6:30.
A surprisingly (good Edge
cumbe Junior Varsity team
dropped the winless Jaycees
a si ep lower in the prelimin
ary meet of last night’s dou
ble header. The final count
was 53-30.
The Island Jayvees, in com
mand all the way, looked good
at times and the win came as
a welcome relief to coadh Bill
Patterson who must rebuild
after Ithis season due to (heavy
losses his varsity will suffer
via graduation.
Norman Wood, a slick dou
ble pivot operator and a fancy -
Dan shooter guided Sitka in its
path to victory in the most
spirited opening the Wolves
have experienced in many
years. Taking scoring honors
with 17 points. Wood may pose
a difficult problem to Edge

that the states should decide

The report called on the

“The Soviet Union is not only i

ALL-AMERICAN FOOTBALL
TEAM PICKED TODAY
Iby Bdb Hoobing
NEW YORK (JP) Ohio State's
Howard (Hopalong) Cassady
heads one of the moat versatile
backfields ever selected on the
Associated Press 1955 All-Am
erican football team announc
ed today.
Cassady, a holdover choice a
lonig with Navy end Ron Bea
gle, is joined by Earl Morrall
of Michigan Sl ate, Jim Swink
of Texas Christian and Tommy
McDonald of Oklahoma in the
backfield.
The Buckeyes owe 'their se
cond straight Big 10 champion
ship to Cassadv, the winner of
the Heisman Memorial trophy
who was the clutch runner of
the year despite I he special de
fenses set for him each week.
He also can pass.
Morrall, the nation’s leadin/g
punter, ran the Spartan’s intri
cate multiple offense with rare
genius. He was equally profic
ient as a runner, passer, block
er and was terrific on defense.
McDonald, who with Swink
gives the team two junior (backs
is the breakaway runner who j
made the national champion
ship Sooners an awesome gro
und power. Tn addition, his pass
ing kept the defense “honest.”
Swink was the most exciting
runner of the campaign, spring
ing from virtual obscurity into
the role of the top scorer (125
points) and most dramatic dis
tanee gainer.
The remainer of the team
lists Howard Schellen'berger of
Kentucky al; end with Beagle.
Frank Dagostino of Auburn and
Paul Wiglgin of Stanford at
tackles, Jim Brown of TJCLA
and Basquale (Pat) Bisceglia of
Notre Dame at guards and
Maryland’s Bob Pellegrini at

The team, selected on the re
commendations of AP regional
boards on the basis of the .full
season, avoids pre-season bal

New York (IP) This is a (bela
ted tribute to a man with the
strength of his convictions; a
man who unswervingly adher
ed to the course he had outlin
ed and which he thought best
for all- concerned despite acid
criticism which would have re
duced many a lesser individual
to a solft vacillating hulk.
The man is Earl iBlaik, the re
tired colonel who coaches foot
ball at the West 'Point Military
Academy, who decided that Eton
Holleder, a great end, could
play quarterback for (him ac
ceptably, and who stuck to that
conviction in times when it
seemed sheer folly.
That Blaik was a gentleman
of character and resolution had
been demonstrated on innumer
able occasions before, and spar
ticularly during those bleak
days following the dismissal of
most of his squad in the so
called cribbing scandal.
That was a time to try a
man’s'soul, and the way the
all and ramrod straight tacti
cian and teacher met the chal
lenge won the admiration of
all. He no»t only defended his
boys, but stuck with the wreck
ed ship and methodically went
about the business of rebuild
ing.
Such a man would not; be like
ly to cry with pain at critical
banbs and change his tactics to
solace his detractors when his
great experiment this year
seemed doomed to failure.
Holleder is a big, rugged fel
low. His play at end was a :ser
ies of masterpieces. He could
do everything the position call
ed for, and do it superbly. It
was his spot, that’s all.
But when Blaik called him a
side and told him he wanted
him to play quarterback, he
took over the new and strange
job without protest.
He was making a tremendous
sacrifice in personal glory, and
he must have realized it. At end
