A►FL Hurt Self, Fans
Holding Out All-Stars
The yet to be unveiled American Football League
missed a good chance for a lot of valuable publicity and at
the same time deprived American football fans from
seeing the best of last year's college crop play against the
world-ch'ampion Baltimore Colts in the All-Star game
Friday in Chicago.
The new league which picked off some of the cream
of the last year's collegiate grid talent in post season
financial hassles with the the old National Football League
refused to allow any of its players to participate in, the
All-Star Contest.
The league claimed the various teams could not afford
.to give up their stars for the 10-day practice period neces
sary to prep the All-Star team for the big contest.
By doing so it deprived some outstanding gridiron
heros of their deserved opportunity to play in this once
in-a-lifetime game.
It also lost a lot of good publicity that would have
surely been picked up by such stars as Billy Cannon,
Richie Lucas, Charlie Flowers , and Ron Burton—the entire
first-string consensus All-American backfield--who would
have had no trouble standing out i in the lack-lustre contest.
It is doubtful that these stars could have stopped the
powerful Colts or changed the outcome of the game. but
they would have given it a much more gilded array of
players that would have surely improved the collegians'
showing.
And the handful of players that would have been lost
to their AFL clubs for 10 days should not have disrupted
their teams' practice to that great a degree
Is Horse Still There?
Let's hope that the big aid plan for Latin America
which has suddenly become so popular in the halls of
Congress is not just a pitiful epitaph to United States'
good relations in the central and southern parts of the
hemisphere.
It is regrettable that it took an explosion as loud as
the one in Cuba to awake the foreign policy corps, which
previously poured more money into the little island of
Formosa than all Latin America.
What's that old story about when to secure the horse
barn door?

Interpreting
Politics. Can't Enter
Retaliation to Reds
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
As the United States intensifies its new tactic of massive
verbal retaliation against the Soviet Union, the rest of the
world will shiver if it gets the idea that domestic political
considerations are involved.
There is as yet no tendency to deny the right of the United
States to belly up to the Soviets
at points where important stakes
are involved, as in Cuba and Ber
lin, and even in the Congo.
Having tried without success
the British idea of seeking com
promise, the United States now
expects and is
getting Brit is h
support in trad
ing verbal slugs
and posting
warning notices.
But all the
world is hoping
the slugging per
iod will give way
to resumed nego
tiations as quick
ly as possible, ROBERTS
and that no doors will be slammed
for good
Already, however, reports are
being published that Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon advo- .
cated the tough line to the
President, with the implication
that he needs to give the Re
publican administration a new

sense of direction following the
collapse of its peace efforts.
However this may be, it would
be dangerous to have it accept
ed abroad as the prime motive.
It was inevitable, when Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev. adopt
ed his policy of aggressive con
frontation of the United States at
every point, that this country
would not take it lying down.
There will be times, how
ever, when there will be a ques
tion whether vituperation and
threat are the best answers. At
such times—at all times—the
free nations will be expecting
the United States t 6 consider
them as well as herself, and
they will resent any appearance
that the scales of action have
been tipped by Republican poli
tical needs.
Throughout the 'world there is
a dread of what might happen
unless the United States and the
Soviet Union drop the blustering
and go back to negotiations.
