There Were a Few Points | Missed | r
HAROLD ECKTMAN, coach of the Kirshbaum varsity basketball team, was speaking when I opened the door to the room. Late as always. There was absolute silence and not many heads turned to see who was coming in. “One of the most important things in basketball is control of the rebound,” Mr. Ecktman was saying and having difficulty in keeping from demonstrating. He's used to doing his stuff on.a basketball floor. . There were a few points I missed while looking for a seat in a classroom of 28 kids and about 30 seats. That didn’t bother me since I know how to get rebounds. Give the man in front of you a sharp kick in the ribs with your knee and grab the ball. Earl Mpntgomery. athletic director, rose from his seat and stuck his head out the door. A couple of loud youngsters had distracted the class and from the number of chagrined looks that went in the direction of Mr. Montgomery, he thought it best to make with the reprimand. Order was restored and all present heard without difficulty that defense wasn’t fun. Offensive play in basketball was fun. “How do you throw a block?” asked an eager youngster. Mr. Ecktman said he was just coming to the block. He also reminded the group that the block was not to*be used to knock the opponent down, it was used merely to get the advantage without catching the eye of the referee. “Blocks are tricky to use,” he said and explained why. I rather imagined the boys, ranging from eight to 12 years in age, weren't too worried about the technical fine points of the block just then. My feet have pounded basketball floors and dusty sandlots enough to know the boys were getting some mighty fine pointers. The kind of
pointers that unfortunately, most of us basket- .
ballers of a few years back got by the road of hard knocks. Just a few of the pointers included: “As long as your man is dribbling, he's not shooting, let him go.” “Don’t turn to look at another man when you're guarding close. Let peripheral vision (it was explained) take care of the men on your sides.” “Stalk your man, don’t lunge at him and re-

RUO, MERILO ATOLL, Hall Islands, Nov. 4 ~—A housing revolution has broken out in this triangular atoll that may spread across the whole 3000-mile breadth of American Micronesia, Uncle Sam's trust territory of Pacific Islands. An unpretentious native missionary whose only name is August has cracked the deadlock on home-building with a new method of making cheap homes out of beach coral. August's revolution has begun to cause white coral buildings to replace the gimcrack native huts which serve as shelter in the remote islands of the Hall group, 50 miles north of Truk. In an island with a population of only 130, with only about 75 adults including 40 taxpaying men, August is making a complete transformation from breadfruit poles and palm wall mats to strong, cool coral walls, with doors, windows and permanent roofs. He has 13 buildings under construction or completed, and his master plan calls for 30 in all They have two or three rooms each. Clean and good-looking, these crushed cQral homes are a kind of standing rebuke to the Hoovervilles of salvaged lumber which disfigure the native villages of Guam and Truk. Since they do not cost the American taxpayer a dime, they are also a rebuke to the $25,850 concrgte homes for officers and the $19,000 homes for enlisted men which are being built in Guam. These Navy homes, made costly by the importing of labor from the states, are only about twice as big as August's.
No U. S. Handout Needed
THE BEST THING about his homes, as the 51-year-old, barefoot August explained to me on the reef today, is that they don’t cost his own people anything but labor. The homes have been built by community work and inspiration, not by another American handout. August began by building at Namwin, on the other big atoll of the Hall group, a handsome coral church. He built this church during the war with the guidance of a German Lutheran mis-’ sionary named Richard Noumaier, who has since

member never leave your feet on defense unless the man you're guarding moves first.” There was a great deal more in the defense lecture that could be kicked around here, but it's more interesting, I believe to report what the youngsters did when they were finally allowed to go up to the playing floor. Mr. Ecktman demonstrated defensive techniques with Norman Wynn, Butler freshman and]
a member of the Kirshbaum varsity before he
gave the signal for the 28 to do some practicing, on their own.
‘We'll Get the Rough Spots OF’
HIS SIGNAL for putting some of the discussed principles into play also was a signal for bedlam. Twenty-eight youngsters and four basketballs mixed it up. You can take it from there. Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Ecktman and I watched an attempt by one of the boys to do as the teacher recommended. “What do you think?” asked Mr. Montgomery of the coach. “I think they're having fun,” Ecktman. The director thought it best to pick some fiveman teams and break up the 14-man combination that varied at will. | You couldn’t deny the fact they were trying and 100 for effort was the rule of the day. | The next afternoon called for a lecture on] offense by Morris Mitchell, Kirshbaum Aces coach. | Mr. Montgomery would wind up the series with a talk on sportsmanship, locker room sanitation and motion pictures. “We'll get the rough spots off,” the director added.

Air Safari
NATROBI, Kenya, Nov. 4—The latest venture in the lucrative big-game hunting business is an American outfit called Airsafari, Inc., with headquarters in Cincinnati and Nairobi. Airsafari, founded by a young American war veteran named Herbert H. Lockwood, pays all your expenses, flies you out here and back in a special four-engine airplane, and provides you with three weeks of hunting for roughly $5000. Expensive as that may seem, it is one of the quickest and cheapest safaris ever offered Amerjcan sportsmen, who usually spend three or four months and $10,000 to do the same amount of shooting. The word safari; incidentally, is an English corruption of the Arabic word for trip.
From Teddy Roosevelt to.Aga Kahn
AIRSAFARI is tied in with Safariland, Ltd., the oldest outfitters in the business. Airsafari rings you to Nairobi ‘and back and Safariland does the rest—provides you with experienced guides and bearers, guns, ammunition, hunting licenses, food, tents, medicine, fuel and automobiles. “ “Everything from a flea to a flatiron” is the motto of Safariland’s British manager, W. 8. King, who has been outfitting hunters of all nationalfties—from Teddy Roosevelt to the Aga Kahn— for the past 35 years. - Some strange names have cropped up among the hundreds of wealthy clients whom Mr. King has served in his long career. My favorites are Mr. Pancake, an American,-and Col. Buchenwald, a Dane. : There was once a time when Safariland provided its clients with cases of free scotch whisky as a matter of course. Now, with liquor rationed “throughout the British empire, hunters have to bring their own whisky or do without. A visitor's hunting license in Kenya costs $300. Such a license entitles you to shoot lions, gazelles and buffaloes free, but if you want to shoot an elephant, too, you have to pay the government. an additional fee of $200. A second elephant costs $400. You are allowed to shoot up to two giraffes, however, in return for fees of only $60 each. Rhinoceros fees are $40, with a limit of two. . Perhaps the most luxurious safari éver organized in Kenya was the one recently completed by His Highness Sir Sultan ‘Mahomed Shah Aga Khan, the unofficial ruler of Indian Moslems all over the world. Mr. King declined to tell me exactly how much Safariland had charged his highness, but I dare

UN Flabbergasted At Election Result
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Seripps-Howard Foreign Editer PARIS, Nov. 4—Judging by reaction in United Nations circles, the election victory of President Truman has flabbergasted the world. Certainly delegates here were stunned. They had been advised over and over again by their own diplomats and their coun-
tries’ correspondents in the United States, as well as by pollsters, pundits, experts and
sgothsayers, that Gov. Thomas E.
This doesn’t mean the world, ;as represented by UN delegates, is alarmed or even disappointed by the upset. They had beentold, and they believe it, that it would not make much difference
| President Truman won. There!fore, most of them seem inclined [to construe the Truman victory as a popular indorsement of the {Marshall Plan, American rearthe Atlantic defense ‘pact and the whole bipartisan foreign policy. Big Talking Point If President Truman could have. {witnessed the manifestations of {popular interest here in the election, it would have inspired him with even new awe for the mag-"° nitude of this job. Not only at the Palais De Chaillot, the UN’s meeting place, but in nearby streets, subways, restaurants, buses, and public places generally, people talked of nothing.else. Also, for the past several days newspapers have bannered the story and government offices have been swamped with ine quiries. All this shows what an important place America occupies in today's world—not merely .in foreign offices but in the thoughts of . ordinary people. It reveals, too, how the United States has become the world's hope for peace and recovery. It shows how blinding is the spote light beating down on America. And that, whatever may be . President Truman's domestic responsibilities, those abroad are just as. heavy. For America’s future is likely to be decided as much in one field as in the other,
