Browns Clinch Eighth Straight Division Title : NIEW YORK UP — The Cleveland Browns, who may some day pop up in the dictionary as a synonym for success, have won thei? eighth straight pro football division title and their jinz opponent—the Detroit Lions — leads in the race for (he other berth in the National League’s Championship game The Browns, victorious in the lb games they have played .this year, have won a division title each season since they wef* organized in 1946. After sweeping four chamionships in the All America con ference, they entered the NFL in 1950 arid won its eastern conference crown Sunday for the fourth time by defeating the Chicago Cardinals, 27-16. ■ Detroit posted a 34-15 victory over the Green Bay Packers Thursday and boosted its western conference lead to a full game Sunday without moving a muscle. The Los Angeles Ranis had a chance to cut idle Detroit’s lead to a half-game but w’ere upaet by the Chicago Bears, 24-21. The, Rams now trail by 1 1-2 ganies. The Sap Francisco Forty-Niners moved into second place by defeating the Baltimore Colts, 38-21 but the Bear triumph allowed Detroit to> increase its\ lead. Detroit is he only club with a perfect record against Cleveland, beating the Browns during the regular 1952 season and in the championship game. .(Each \club plays two more games. The Browns play host to the New York Giants and visit the Philadelphia Eagles in bidding for the league’s first perfect season since the Bears swept 11 games in 19-42. Detroit can assure itself of keeping the western title by beating the Bears at home and the Giants on the toad. > The Forty-Niners and Rams still have a chance and have easier pickings, each finishing with two home games against the Packers and Colts. New York warmed up for its “spoiler” role Sunday by snapping the Eagles’ six-game winning streak, 37-28, while the Washington Redskins beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 17-9, in the other game. SENATE GROUP (CoutlMwrd From Pace One) crat, charged from the bench that Brownell had refused to let the FBI help the local district attorney with the investigation of the jury-tam-pering charges. The district attorney was Charles S. Vigil, a Democratic appointee who was fired by President Eisenhower when he refused to resign in favor of a Republican successor. Vigil told reporters he twice sought FBI aid but was told that top officials had ordered the FBI to keep handsoff the case. Justice department sources said Brownell prepared a reply last week, but refrained from issuing it because he did not wish to appear to be conducting a public feud wlth a federal judge. The situation changed Sunday night, when the charges were picked up and aired on a nationwide television broadcast by Clayton Fritchey, deputy chairman of the Democratic national committee. Challenging Brownell to answer Judge Ritter’s “very serious* complaint. Fritchey said: “I think when a federal judge in open' court charges the attorney general with tying the hands of the FBI, some explanation is demanded.” \ SENATE PROBERS <Cont!■ n»d From Page One) one day and the following day aitempt to brand the Democratic party as the party of traitors, as friends of Communism, of harborers of spies.” 2. Sen. Hubert H.. Humphrey, D-Minn., said in a television interview Sunday night the Red issue probably will be the “great smokescreen” of next year’s congress sional races. . 3.
