-THK EVENING JTANDARD, UN10STOWK, minAY, AUOUST 21, ISM IJ 'Trotter At Car dale, Filbert At Continental In U.S. Didn't Lose Prestige In Olympics Actually They Left 5 Good Will Behind Them, Bingliam NEW YORK, Aug. Lyman Bingham, executive di- -rector of the U. S. Olympic Com- today denied a charge that American athletic officials lost prestige for the United States by their actions at the 1952 Olympic games.

Dean John R. Ilubbar-d of Tu lane University, Newcomb College "charged that this country lost propaganda battle to Russia at Finland, because friendly gestures seemed to have been the official capacity" of -U. S. representatives. Htibbard, who studied the politi- implications of the 1952 games a special research grant, accused American giving chewing gum to Russian athletes in exchange for "expensive" gifts.

But'Bingham said the U. S. --parly "left a great deal of good will behind them" when they gave -a large amount of surplus food- ttuffs to Finnish hospitals and wel- homes and shared scarce com; modities with athletes from other nations. OUT OF DOORS with Scatterguri Foolishness By WARREN PAGE Shooting (editor For a good many years now I have formally celebrated the Fourth of July with the setting off of at least one string of firecrackers or the more satisfying sizzle and bang of a man-sized salute. But last year the continuity was broken.

Every state in the neck of these United States I live in had banned the legal sale of fireworks, largely because daring youngsters or foolish adults had burned too many fingers or spattered too many eyes. But not all the wisdom of state or lederal lawmakers can pull back every fool from the brink of self destruction. Idiocy drags too hard toward the edge, it eems. There's one shenanigan--often associated Fourth of July celebrations--which is certainly as old as smokeless powder and many times as dangerous. That's the gag of making a noisemaker out of a shotgun by opening the crimp of a shell, pouring out the shot, and then firing the shell in the gun.

The result is a most unsatisfactory sort of noise, a squib- by poof hardly dignifying the scattergun's proper gauge. Pirates Begin Series With Reds Tonight Surkoiil To Oppose, Niixhall; Hues Take Two From Cardinals Why? Lacking the weight CINCINNATI, Aug. 27--(UP) --The Pittsburgh Pirates open a two-game series with the Cincinnati Redlegs tonight after taking Iwo out of three games from the St. Louis Cardinals. Gerry Lynch drove in both Pirate runs as the Bucs defeated Cards', 2-1, Thursday night with Vernon Law coming in to relieve Laurin Pepper in the eighth and preserve the Pittsburgh rookie's tirst major league win.
