Tom Gola All-American for 3rd
Year; Two Dukes on UP Quintet
B7 NORMAN MILLER.
New York (U.R) Talented
Tom Gola of La Salle established
himself as one of the great col
lege 5 basketball players of all
time when he was chosen today
'on the United Press All-Ameri-can
team for the third consecu
tive season.
Bill Russell of San Francisco,
Dick Ricketts and Si Green of
'Duquesne, and Dick Garmaker
of Minnesota were the other
players selected on the 1955
mythical all-star team in a
nationwide poll of 283 sports
writers and radio broadcasters.
Gola- received the largest vot
ing percentage of any player in
the seven years that the United
Press has conducted its All
America basketball poll. He
was mentioned on the ballots of
95.4 per cent of the All-America
selectors.
Russell was the second highest
vote-getter, being named on 63.6
per cent of the ballots; Ricketts
polled 59.4 per cent and Green
50.2 per cent.
Four-Man Race
Garmaker was mentioned on
42.8 per cent of the ballots and
barely won a place on the team
in an unusually close four-man
race with Dick Hemric of Wake
Forest. Robin Freeman of Ohio
State and Don Schlundt of In
diana.
The South thus failed to get a
man on this year's first team
but was represented with three
players on the second team in
Hemric, Darrell Floyd of Fur
man and Ron Shavlik of North
Carolina State.
The selection of Ricketts and
Green marked the first time that
any school had, more than one
All-America in the same season
since three Kentucky players
were chosen back in 1949.
The five players chosen repre
sented a coach's "dream team,'
with an average height just a
shade below six-foot-six and a
scoring ayerage of 22.7 points
per-man, per-game.
Because position designations
mean far less in modern basket
ball than they once did, and
were largely ignored by the bal
loters, this All-America team was
not listed according to positions.
Yet experts believed that these
five remarkably versatile play
ers would produce a superb unit
in action, with Russell at center,
Gola and Green in the back
court, and Garmaker and Rick
etts in the forecourt.
Gola's scoring average of 24.9
points, highest oi. anyone on. the
1955 All-America team, reflects
only, a small part of his ability.
Gola's rebounding average of
20.4 per game ranks him fifth
among major college players.

Bootlegging of Cars
Charged by Crumpacker
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Shephard J. Crumpacker Jr.
(R-Ind.) has charged that
some auto makers are encour
aging "bootlegging" of new cars
as part of an all-out battle for
sales supremacy.
He told a reporter he v will
press for Legislation to stamp
out the practice.
Crumpacker defined auto
"bootlegging" as the sale of new
cars as used cars at cut prices.
He said it offers unfair and
sometimes ruinous competition
to legitimate, new car dealers
who charge standard prices
Crumpacker said these dealers
are entitled to protection by law
because they bear the expense
of maintaining service depart
ments which the motoring pub
lic needs.

Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Feature Writer
LlaL
Washington (U.R) The
lovely new blond Congresslady
from Minnesota, Coya Knutson,
has stirred up
a fuss about
how a house
wife ought to
make spud
lefse:
Mrs. Knut
son, who is
proud that she
is the first wo
man in a long
time to be
come a mem-
harman fticnols ber of the
House Agriculture Committee,
brought the matter up in meet
ing. The discussion was about
the 90 per cent farm crops sup
port bill. And Mrs. K. mentioned
"lefse."
A member who was not of
Scandinavian extraction said:
"What in thunder is lefse?"
"I show you," said the nice
little blond. "And right here in
this room, the 34 members of the
committee, including me, will
partake of same."
And by golly the other day
they did. And, also by golly, if
you haven't tasted "lefse and
butter" it's about time you did.
It's Delicious
Right after the meeting, the
lady from Oklee, Minn., (pop.
494) where she and her husband
run a small hotel, got on the Edi
son. She called Mrs. Rudy Gus
taf son and Mrs. M. O. Zenner of
Fergus Falls, Minn., and they
promised to send airmail some
lefse. The Chamber of Com
merce shipped butter from Wau
bun. James Stretch, who sent it,
knows good lefse when he tastes
it, with butter, of course.
Lefse, if you didn't know, is
bread, and you never tasted the
Jikes of it.
When Mrs. Knutson made her
remark, in the interest of 90 per

lefse, she gave her own receipe.
She said " she didn't mess
around with measurements of
this and that, things like flour,
shortening and salt and potatoes.
"You just have to know, and
I couldn't write it down to save
my life," she said. "The potatoes
are mashed, in my recipe, with a
little flour and shortening mix
ed in and then baked on the top
of a wood stove or an electric
grill if you want to be fancy and
modern."
Norwegian Recipe
Soggy old p o t a t o es are the
best. And you can add, if you
wish, a sprinkle of sugar. ''
In Scandinavia it is the cheap
bread, and according to Mrs.
Knutson, "the best."
"It has to be served cold, with
the butter added as butter ought
to be added, good and thick."
The Norwegian embassy filed
a "minority" report. It has its
own recipe, which is not used in
Minnesota, that the congresslady
knows of.
The embassy said: "one, cup
sugar, V2 cup of lard, 3 egg
yolks, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tea
spoon of soda, 1 quart of butter
milk and add flour. Cream sugar
and lard, add egg yolk and mix
well with creamed mixtures.
Add salt. Dissolve soda in but
termilk and add flour to make a
dough that can be handled nice
ly. Roll thin and bake quickly.
Three hours before serving,
dampen one side of each lefse
to be used. Wrap in cloth."
That seems like a lot of time
to waste on little finger of bread.
The lady from Minnesota
thinks so, too, although she has
nothing against Norwegians.
"It doesn't take that long
where I came from," she said.
where the wives were getting
ADC payments while the hus
band surreptitiously sneaked
home every night after dark to
visit his family.
In some instances welfare
agencies are too busy to keep
the pressure on the mothers re
ceiving Aid to Dependent Chil
dren or ADC as it is known for
short to compel them to report
to the district attorney's office
to keep after their husbands.
Charges have also been-made
in some states that mothers have
been permitted to put their chil
dren on ADC without being com
pelled to file criminal charges
against their runaway spouses,
and that once "on" ADC they
are not compelled to report
monthly to show that they are
continuing in good faith in at
tempts to collect support from
their husbands, either through
the new Runaway Father law
or criminal nonsupport pro
ceedings. Legislature Gets Blame
Also to blame, according to
some Oregon observers is the
legislature itself. The office of
district attorney , in Oregon is
still largely treated by the legis
lature as a part-time job. In most
counties the salary is insufficient
to permit the district attorney
to give his full time to his du
ties. He has to engage in private
practice in order . to pay the
butcher, the baker and the can
dlestick maker. Thus, how can
he be blamed if he doesn't give
full attention to this problem? -
One solution that has been ad
vocated by some authorities is
to place the district attorney on
a full-time basis in all counties
having a population of 15,000 or
over, and pay him a good salary
making it unnecessary- for him
to , engage in private practice.
These critics maintain that the
district attorney will save the
state and county many times
this increased salary in collect
ing support payments from run
away fathers.
Another Approach -
Another and entirely differ
ent approach to the nonsuppcrt
problem has been advocated by
several members of Congress
since 1948. They suggest making
family desertions, across state
lines a federal offense and
prosecuting the offender in the
federal courts.
In the course of this article!
we have talked extensively
about compelling runaway fa
thers to support their deserted
spouses and children. The new
law has helped immensely in
compelling the absconder to sup
port his dependents. But . the
problem that our sociologists
and psychologists are endeavor
ing to answer is this:
Why did the father desert his
family in the first place?
What is causing this?
Where is it leading?
Your concern and mine is to
find out what is being done to
attack the problem at its heart
we should be doing more
about stopping ; these child de
sertions before they occur.
Other Questions
To what extent does faulty
judgment in the choice of one's
mate and too hasty marriage set
the stage for later desertion and
abandonment? If many of these
marriages are doomed to failure
from the very start, what can
be done about avoiding them in
the first place?
Is there any reason why we
cannot have a positive program
for the ; prevention of shaky
marriages and desertion, just as
we have educational programs
for; preventing crime, fire or
tuberculosis? i J
While this would cost money,
wouldn't it actually save the
taxpayers - many thousands of
dollars in ADC and public as
sistance, not to mention the un
told saving in heartbreak, un
happiness and human misery
with all the accompanying peiv
manent hurt to thousands of
youngsters, who are the greatest
casualties of this social illness?
Crime Increase Cited
Every citizen knows that the
broken home situation has con
tributed greatly to the alarming
increase in our juvenile crime
and delinquency rates. The fu
ture of Oregon and of the na
tion depends in a large measure
upon ; the kind . of environment
and upbringing we provide our
children. , -; .;, ,- ;
I submit that the duty is clear
and urgent. We must act now: in
this present generation to ' ex
pand pre-marriage and. home
counseling services by- both" pri
vate and public agencies in or
der to strengthen and stabilize
the family,' relationships and
combat this plague of domestic
breakups before it's too late.
