Of the Australian tennis

sesses is almost on a par with
that of Casey Stengel of the base.
ball Yankees, Now, there are
Tumours that Mr. Hopman is in
line for the same sort of treat -
anent as was dished out to another
baseball notable, Mr, Charles
;Dressen.
Dressen, you will recall, was
"fired" as manager of the Brook-
lyn Dodgers last winter after he
had led his team to its second
straight National League pen.
leant. The Dodgers brass, it ap-
peared, would settle for nothing
short of a World Series victory
Hopman yis still manager and
brushes off reports of the Aus-
tralian Lawn Tennis Association's
unsuccessful effort to censure
"They can censure all they like
from where they are doing it,"
'was Hopman's terse reaction
while at Longwood where he was
:managing a six -man Australian
team during the National
Doubles. "It doesn't bother me
a bit. They can't possibly judge
Our team from that distance,"
writes Harry Molter in the
Christian Science Monitor.
Wire-ry Chap — Fred Tonelli
appears to be using the lops of
Iwo chimneys to assist him in his
1lghtrope-walking act in London.
Tonelli is a member of a famed
German circus family which
continually defies death on the
tightrope 120 feet above the
ground.
I'lopmatl is .'teeth'( for the
moment. The censure movement
has been dropped till Harry re-
turns ;to .Australia early this Sall.
But where there's smoke there
may be fire and there apparently
is friction hi the Australian
LTAA, headed by influential
Norman Strange. Some quarters
voice the observation that there
is pressure to remove Hopman in
favor of someone lila Colin Long
or John Bromwich.
Meanwhile Hoi.man need only
point to his record. In the four
years he has handled the Aus-
sie Davis Cup squad it broke the
U.S. grip on the Davis Cup in
1960 and has held it ever since
in the annual challenge
matches.
The Dodgers conceivably re
leased Dressen becausse they
wanted a World Series victory in
addition to two straight National
League pennants, Just what the
Australian LTAA wants from
Hopman above and 'beyond the
Davis Cup is somewhat vague,
since the Davis Cup matches are
the "World Series" of tennis.
Before the Aussie LTAA goes
any further in its apparent at-
tempt to defy an old sports adage
which: Never Break Up a Win-
ning Combination; perhaps they
should check into the plight of
the Dressen-less Dodgers. Sup-
posed to walk away with the
National League pennant this
year.
The motion to censure Hop -
man was made at a meeting of
the Australian LTAA in Mel-
bourne and was based on Hop -
man's criticism of what he con-
sidered a pro-Drobny gallery
when the veteran Egyptian
player defeated Australia's Ken
Rosewall for the title last July.
The censure motion was made
by Norman Strange.
Also cropping up were reports
of "complacency" by the Aussie
players who failed to get past
the quarter -finals in the recent
Newport tournament.
This is the salve word—"com-
placency"—which crept into the
firing of Phil Cavaretta as Chi-
cago Cubs manager last spring
and in the trade which sent
pitcher Vic Raschi from the New
York Yankees to St. Louis Car-
dinals also last spring.
Perhaps, as Hopman dryly in-
dicated, the important thing is not
did you win or lose, but to con-
vince observers, as he put it, that
you are not complacent in defeat,
just because you are wearing a
gay Hawaiian shirt in the club-
house afterward.
Meanwhile, Hopman conunent-
ed: "By the time we get back to
Australia to prepare for defense
of the Davis Cup, we'll all have
forgotten where Newport is
located.
Bankruptcy, as every lawyer
knows, is where you put your
money in your hip pocket and

Composer er e -
r nited After
:111S Years
Atter being separated from the
rest of his bones for 145 years,
the skull of the composer. Joseph
Haydn has been reunited to
thein.
In a triumphant procession,
the skull was recently, taken from
Vienna a distance of 45 miles to ,
Eisenstadt where the rest of his
body lies in a tomb built speci-
ally by the composer's friend
and patron, Prince Esterhazy.
Haydn was originally buried
in Vienna. When his body was
exhumed for reinterment in the
Eisenstadt tomb, the skull was
found to be missing. It is now
known that it was stolen by two
of the composer's friends soon
after Haydn's funeral, in 1809,
At dead of night they crept
into the cemetery, dug away the
broken soil and opened the cof-
fin. Working by lantern -light,
they cut off Haydn's head and
took it secretly to a phrenolo-
gist to be measured and anal-
yzed, They left only a wig grac-
ing -the headless body.
Years afterwards the skull was
found preserved in a private
shrine, Since then many attempts
have, been made to reunite the
composer's bones, but always
late intervened in the form -of
wars, politics and so on. Haydn's
head was preserved in a bank
vault during the last war.
But now it has made its last
journey from a Vienna museum
in a flower -decked hearse to
Eisenstadt, where music -lovers
hope it will be allowed to re-
main undisturbed with the rest
of his bones for ever.

"The Policeman's
Lot is Nota..”
The other day two officers of
the Flying Squad crashed
through the roof of a London
cinema while chasing suspected
thieves. One of them, a detective-
inspector, was previously injur-
ed in 1948 when Flying Squad
officers battled with a gang of
bandits who attempted a raid on
a bullion warehouse at London
Airport.
The police regard all such in-
cidents—which may range from
an occasional black eye from a
drunk to serious injury in the
line of duty—as normal occupa-
tional risks.
But there are other, less spec-
tacular consequences of the job.
A policeman is out in all weath-
ers and at all times, and the re-
sulting bronchial and digestive
troubles far outnumber the cases
of those injured on duty.
There are also certain troubles
which appear to be peculiar to
policemen. Sir Bernard Spils-
bury, the great pathologist, was
horrified when, in the Crumbles
Murder, he found a policeman
handling human remains with-
out the protection of rubber
gloves. In another case of mur-
der, a detective worked hard to
clear the name of a dead man
and bring home the crime to its
real author. Despite all his ef-
forts he failed. He resigned from
the Force and died shortly after-
wards, it was said, of a broken
heart.
In yet another case—a grue-
some trunk murder, the investi-
' gating officer was so affected by
his work that he fell into an ill-
ness and died a few years later,
ascribing his bad health to the
sights he had endured in the
case,
At one time, in the North of
England, the authorities were
puzzled by a curious illness
which was affecting certain pol-
icemen. Expert medical opinion
was sought, and eventually it
was established that the men
had been suffering from a type
of skin poisoning due to habitual
handling of finger -print powders
which contained toxic metals.

rh pp u esst Within
Americans have always Seen
known in some parts of the
wdrld as 'dollar chasers; but ac-
cording to a recent scientific re-
port, the concern of many people
for money goes almost beyond
belief. Dr. William Kaufman, a
Boston physician, told the Ame-
rican Association for the Advan-
cement of Science that emotional
upsets over money can cause all
sorts of symptoms of physical ill-
ness. Headaches, stomach trou-
bles, and back pains are among
the ailments which he has traced
to "money -sickness."
Anyone who makes mucn of a
study of human unhappiness and
tragedy is sure to be impressed
with the overwnelming tendency
of men and women to bring dis-
asters on themselves by their own
action. Here is just such a situa-
tion. And certainly no aches and
pains ought to be more avoidable
than those brought on by undue
preoccupation with money.
Since the beginning of record-
ed history, the world's greatest
religious leaders and philosophers
have preached the dangers of
materialism. Their words are
still true—truer and more signi-
ficant than ever before in this
money -mad post-war world.
Money alone will not bring hap-
piness. Financial, social, political
success will not bring happiness.
Happiness comes from spiritual,
not material success — from in-
side, not from outside.
Try it yourself! See if going to
church won't do you more good
than going to the bank,

ANCIENT PERSIAN CARPET
An area in southern Siberia,
just west of the River Ob, has
been. the scene of recent archaeo-
logical excavations which have
proved very rewarding. It is re-
ported that workers have un-
earthed some extremely valuable
objects in a number of tombs
which it is believed date back
several centuries B.C. The tombs
were protected by a hill which
was completely frozen over, so
that when the archaeologists
made their way into the vaults
they found there numerous ar-
ticles in an almost perfect state
of preservation.
Weapons, masks decorated with
gold, and even textiles are among
the relics found. One of the most
interesting finds is a closely
woven woollen carpet measuring
about six feet square. It has a
rich design of eagles, deer and
horsemen surrounded by an
elaborate border of lotus leaves.
The carpet would seem to be of
Persian origin. What has hitherto
been thought to be the oldest of
all Persian carpets is one dating
from only the ninth century A.D.,
but the Siberian "lotus" carpet is
said to antedate this by over 1,000
years.
