i Plebes Handed
First Setback
By Terp Frosh
• ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 11 CAP).
—Ken Carter booted a 23-yard
■field goal with only 15 seconds
left yesterday to give the Mary*
land freshmen a 29-27 foot
ball victory over the previously
unbeaten Navy Plebes.
Carter’s kick climaxed an of
fensive battle between the two
teams which had raged up and
down Thompson Field all after
noon.
Quarterback Jim Corcoran,
who passed for two touchdowns
and ran for a third for the
Baby Terps. set the tone of the
game in the early minutes
when he hit End Andy Martin
on a pass play that covered 77
yards.
Navy stormed back with a
98-yard touchdown run by
Halfback Daryl Hill with the
ensuing kickoff, and the Mid
dies went in front, 7-6.
It was nip and tuck from
there on. Corcoran’s passes to
Martin and Jerry Osler, and
the running of Fullback Jerry
Fishman and Halfback Ken
Ambrusko highlighted the
Maryland fireworks. Navy
countered with explosive plays
on the passing of Roger Stau
bach and the running of Hill
and Fullback Bill Donnelly. Hill ■
scored a second touchdown on :
a 25-yard run.
Navy’s last scoring threat .
was stifled, and the tide turned
for Maryland, in the opening
minutes of the fourth quarter
when the Plebes were stopped
on four cracks from the two
yard line. They had gotten in
scoring position on a 70-yard
runback of the kiekoff by Don- j
nelly.
Later in the period a long ■
pass from Corcoran to Martin
moved Maryland into position, '
and Carter kicked his field
goal.

Haught Shows Promise
In Pacing GW Frosh Win
By DICK SLAY
•tar Staff Writer
! George Washington Univer
sity, which sprung a “Dou
i ble-D”—Dick Drummond on
' its football opponents this fall,
likely will make room for a
“Double-H" in its backfield
next year.
Harry Haught is a S-foot-10,
172-pound freshman halfback
from Unioatown, Pa„ and, like
Drummond, has unusual bal
ance carrying the ball. Mont
gomery Junior College couldn’t
cope with him yesterday as the
OW freshman team finished
its season with a 30-14 victory
at Jessup Blair Park.
Haught scored three touch
downs, one on a 35-yard scam- i
per with a fumble picked out
of the air, and carried 23 times
for 177 yards as he and his
mates wound up with their
second victory in five games.

Home Stresses Need
Os Soviet Compromise
BOURNEMOUTH, England. Nov. 11 (AP).—Foreign Secre
tary Lord Home said last night he is confident the Berlin crisis
and other cold war issues can be settled peacefully if the
Soviet Union is willing to compromise.
Lord Home told a political rally Britain is willing to nego
tiate all pending problems but only on a give and take basis.
He added:
“If the Communists are willing to interpret negotiation in
this way. then both in Laos
' and Berlin a peaceful settle
- ment can be reached with
honor.”
He also said Britain is ready
to open its defense Installations
to inspection if the Russians
will allow sufficient inspections
to make a ban on nuclear tests
effective.
Assails Duplicity
i Lord Home flayed what he
. called Soviet duplicity and said
1 the British must realize they
, are "members of a team, the
; western democratic society,
■ locked in a running conflict
■ and competition with the mon
. olithic and materialist Com
i munist bloc.”
i "Perhaps the sight of refu
gees being shot down in cold
i blood under the barbed wire
i of East Berlin will open our
. eyes to the meaning of free
i dom,” he said.

Meany Urges Unity
In Civil Rights Efforts
By LEE M. COHN
Star Staff Writer
AFL-CIO President George
Meany—under attack for lack
of drive in combating racial
discrimination urged hig
critics today to quit “breast
beating” and start co-operating
with his “practical approach”
to civil rights.
"The practical approach is
not mutual recriminations but
joint action,” Mr. Meany said
in a tape-recorded speech to a
. civil rights conference spon
.sored by the New York City
Central Labor Council.
He renewed his call for a na
tional Fair Employment Prac
tices Act to bar discrimination
by unions and employers.
Sees Rights Efforts Hurt
The AFL-CIO executive coun
cil last month rejected demands
by A. Philip Randolph, Negro
vice president of the labor
federation, for drastic action
against unions practicing dis
crimination. And the council
censured Mr. Randolph, charg
ing that his criticisms hamper
the labor movement’s efforts to
promote civil rights.
Mr. Meany has clashed re
peatedly with Mr. Randolph,
who is president of the Broth
r erhood of Sleeping Car Porters
1 and head of the Negro Ameri
■ can Labor Council. The AFL
, CIO president also has had
, run-ins with the National As
( sociatlon for the Advancement
of Colored People, and with
some white union leaders who
s i
* tive proposals in respect of
> the situation in Berlin. I hope
that is true.”
New Approach Seen
I
s Lord Home referred to au
s thoritative reports from Mos
s cow that Mr. Khrushchev is
prepared to take a new ap
proach to the Berlin problem.
Informants said under the new
e Soviet proposal, the rights of
1 allied access to Berlin and the
y liberties of West Berlin would
e be guaranteed in an agreement
, before the West and Russia
t dealt with the question of Com-
- munist East German sov-
- ereignty.
Lord Home expressed hope
. that Mr. Khrushchev "is. per
-1 suaded that negotiations with
• the allies securing the status
r and free access to Berlin should
- precede his treaty with East
Germany.” x
i “If Mr. Khrushchev is send
: ing a genuine olive branch,”
. Lord Home added, "then he
. will find lam perfectly capable
-of sitting on the branch with
- him and cooing like a dove."
thing. We’ve been doing this
thing for years. But as a group
of peace-loving people who
think for themselves, we have
a right to our own opinion in
what we do, and we will exer
cise that right.”
Mr. Grant added that ,the
annual “bunny bop” is only one
of many charitable projects
the Harmony post stages to
raise money for charitable pur
poses. and said he regretted
that the President “has been
bothered with the matter.”
“Our membership voted over
whelmingly to stage the hunt
again this year, without the use
of guns. What method we will
use has not been decided. We
might even trap them. We de
cided years ago that with as
many people as we have who
join the outing, guns would be
too dangerous.”
He said the method of bring
ing home the rabbits (Iredell
County has the largest popula
tion of them in North Carolina)
will be discussed at future
meetings.
demand more, militant civil
rights action.
Civil rights will be a major
topic of debate at the AFL-CIO
convention in Miami next
month.
Mr. Meany acknowledged
that “we have pockets of dis
crimination in our own (AFL
CIO» ranks,” but said employ
ers are worse offenders than
unionists *
For Equal Opportunity I
AFL-CIO leaders are ‘‘unani- 1
mously committed to equal op
portunity for all,” Mr. Meany
said, reporting “great progress”
in the campaign to “educate
the recalcitrant locals, one by
one."
Victims of discrimination
can be helped most effectively,
Mr. Meany said, “not by breast
beating and declarations of
high principle, but by hard, :
practical, day-by-day work.”
In an apparent. unity plea 1
to his critics, he said: “This 1
practical program can be best
advanced if all who shares its '
principles will pool their efforts 1
and make common eause 1
against the real enemies of 1
human equality.”

day. What tjrey learned from
him then about the Soviet stand
on Berlin did not indicate any
basic change in policy or add
up to a presentation of specific
proposals for negotiation. State
Department officials said.
Envoy Sees Khrushchev
The West German Ambassa
dor in Moscow. Hans Kroll,
conferred with Mr. Khrushchev
for 90 minutes Thursday. There
were indications the proposition
reported in the Moscow dis
patches was an outgrowth of
the Khruchchev-Kroll meeting.
But, if this is so, the lack of
a fast fill-in for the United
States, British and French gov
ernments, from either the West
Germans or the Soviets, was un
explained.
(It was reported in Moscow
that Mr. Thompson and the
British and French ambassa
dors met late yesterday with
Mr. Kroll in Moscow to get a
fill-in on Mr. Kroll’s con
versations with Mr. Khru
shchev.)
To whatever extent the re
ported Soviet proposal was
officially formulated and seri
ously put forth in Moscow, it
may have been intended to in
fluence the forthcoming West
ern policy talks between Presi
dent Kennedy and West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Ade
nauer.
Mr. Adenauer is due here on
November 19 and the next day
will begin two days of discus
sions with Mr. Kennedy. Mr.
Kroll and the West German
ambassador to the United
States. Wilhelm Grewe, are due
to meet Mr. Adenauer in Bonn
in a few days to prepare for
his Washington visit, and Mr.
Grewe will then return here
with’ him.

Pacifist Grc
Fallout Shel
By WALTER GOLD
Star Staff Writer
Will fallout shelters save us
in the event of a nuclear
attack?
“If we survive the blast it
self, yes,” says George R. Rod
ericks. District Director of Civil
Defense.
“We have no way of know
ing," believes Donald Michael,
research director of the Peace
Institute.
“There is no way out except
peace,” according to I. F. Stone,
editor and publisher of the I. F.
Stone Weekly newsletter.
These differing opinions, were
all enthusiastically applauded
at a panel discussion on fallout
shelters last night at the All
Souls Unitarian Church, Six
teenth and Harvard streets
N.W. More than 300 attended.
The Rev. Rodney Shaw was
chairman of the discussion
meeting, which was sponsored
by several local pacifist groups.
The 2-hour meeting began
$62,693 Theft
Foils Police in
San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1!
(AP). Three gunmen who
robbed a branch of the world’s
largest privately-owned bank of
862,693, yesterday made a clean
getaway, police said today. It
was the biggest bank robbery
in this city’s history.
Efforts to identify the ban
dits, who also kidnaped two
Bank of America officials and
their families, were fruitless. .
The three, one disguised as
a red-haired woman, cleaned
out the Union and Webster
branch of the bank.
At 7 p.m. Thursday the trio
began by going to the Lark
spark home of the branch man
ager, Joseph Finocchio, 55, 15
miles north of San Francisco’s
Golden Gate.
Coffee Served
One gunman stayed with Mr.
Finocchio’s wife and daughter.
The other two forced Mr.
Finocchio to drive them in his
car to Millbrae, 15 miles south
of San Francisco, to the home
of Henry Eupori, 53, assistant
manager of the branch.
“They made me go to the
door and tell Mr. Lupori I had
to discuss some bank matters
with him,” Mr. Finocchio said.
One gunman then forced Mr.
Lupori and his son into the
. Lupori car. The other took Mr.
; Lupori's wife and other son in
■ Mr. Finocchio’s car.
When all were back at the
Finocchio home, the gunmen
’ made coffee and served it to
• everybody.
Turns at Guard
! “They were vegy nice young
men,” Mr. Lupori said later.
"Actually, you could have taken
them for three good-looking
‘ college graduates.”
During the night two of the
gunmen dozed while the third
t took his turn standing guard.
• Os the hostages, “everyone but
’ me catnapped during the long
' hours,” Mr. Finocchio said.
After dawn the gunmen be
gan tying their victims with
drapery cords.
, Two gunmen forced Mr. Lu
i pori into the Finocchio car
and they drove to the bank,
, arriving at 7 a.m.
Mr. Lupori was forced to
open the bank and the vault,
J Two tellers, Susan Romweber
, and Carol Hickenbotam, were
I forced to help scoop up the
, cash.
I Twice during the robbery one
of the men called back to the
Finocchio home to ascertain ail
was well with the confederate.
Before fleeing the bank the
gunmen tied the tellers and
Mr. Lupori with adhesive tape.
The previous high loot in San
Francisco’s history of bank
robberies was on December
1954, when robbers using
, walkie-talkies took $29,000 from
; the Geary-Arguello branch of
Bank of America.

Continued From First Pago
approach to the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier.
Mr. Kennedy and his party
walked quickly between lines of
the color guard and stopped
directly In front of the memo
rial to the Unknpwn Soldier
with its inscription “Here rests
; in honored glory an American
. soldier known but to God.”
After the National Anthem
, was played, the President,
> assisted by Master Sergt. Wil
liam S. Rigsby, as wreath
bearer, placed a large wreath of
chrysanthemums at the tomb.
After a moment of silence,
, Sergt. George Myers played
’ taps. His bugle had been heard
I previously by Presidents Tru
man and Eisenhower.
The holiday marked the 40th
anniversary of the first Armis
tice Day, the name given to the
November 11 observance. The
holiday was designated as Vet
erans Day in 1954.
In McKinney, Tex., in a
speech prepared for delivery
’ to a Veterans' Day audience,
’ Vice President Johhnson said
; he spoke of military prepara
tions unwillingly—“ But I fear
' that if I keep silent the forces
of evi) in this world will inter
l pret this silenee as a sign of
weakness.”
The Vice President stated <
that neither Khrushchev nor
his supporters could escape
American retaliation if Russia ,
. started a nuclear war.
Mips Hear
Iter Debate
i with Mr. Rodericks giving a
strong indorsement of shelters.
“There is no question that
fallout shelters save lives,” the
r official said. They have been
tested . . . they work . . . and
. we know they will save lives.”
However, he said, the various
i shelter types being offered to
the public today are not neces
. sarily designed to be blast-proof
, or fire-proof. But they do offer
> a means of survival “if you live
through” the initial bombing, he
; said.
, Mr. Michael, whose Peace Re
. search Institute has questioned
the usefullness of the shelter
• system, said:
I “Our doubts are based on the
; lack of information on what
I type of nuclear attack to ex-
• pect.”
> He challenged Mr. Roderick s
. statement that the shelters had
i been proved effective through
i testing.
1 The third panelist, Mr. Stone.
. ridiculed the entire concept of
i fallout shelters.
