The Brussels Post, 1954-9-1, Page 5"TChe bigger they are, the hard-
er they fell" is a Sports saying so
Old that we would hesitate to
quote It except for the fact that
the Duke of Windsor's newest
suits are reported to have turn-
ttp elfffs On the coat-sleeves—and
THEY are older -style than even.
our quOtation,
Anyhow, just about the biggest
and most dominating figure in this
particular line of sport is Harry
Repman,'the non-playing captain
Of the Australian tennis
"amateurs," whose list of sue-
cesses is almost on a par with
that of Casey, Stengel of the base.
'ball Yankees, Now, -there are
rumours that Mr. Hopman is in
line for the same sort of treat-
ment as wag dished out to another
baseball nOtab]e, 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-
nant. The Dodgers brass, it ap-
peared, would settle for nothing
short of a World Series victory.
Iiopman is still manager and
brushes off reports of the Aus-
-trail= Lawn Tennis Association's
unsuccessful effort to censure
him,
FIF
"They can censure all they like
from where they are doing it,"
was Frogman'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 tops of
two chimneys to assist him in his
}ightrope-walking act in Lyndon.
Tonellt is a member of a famed
German circus family which
continually defies death on the
tightrope 120 feet above the
ground.
1-lopman is secure for the
moment. The censure movement
has been dropped till Harry re-'
turns to Australia early this fall,
But where there's smoke ,there
may be fire and there apparently
is friction in the Australian
LTAA,, headed by influential
Norman Strange. Some quarters
voice the 'observation that there•.
is pressure to remove Hopman in
favor of someone like Colin Long
or John Bromwich.
'Meanwhile Hopman 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
1950' 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.
s t +
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 thetitle 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-fin>lls in the recent
Newport tournament.
This is the same 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,
i 4
Perhaps, as i•Iopman dryly in-
dicated,
ndicated, the important thing is not
did you win or lose, but to con-
vince observers, as 'he put it, than
you are not complacent in defeat,
just because you are wearing a
gay Hawaiian shirt in the club-
house afterward.
*
Meanwhile, Hopman comment-
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.

knows, is where you put your

Composer Re-
united After
(45 Years
After being separated from the
rest of his bones for 145 years,
the skull of the composer' Joseph
Haydn has, been "reunited, $0
them. •
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 tome, 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 put 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
fate 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 JOBS THEY GET
Frankfurt University, like most
universities of West Germany,
maintains a service by which
students can be hired at a
moment's notice -for any work re-
quired,
Each term approximately 1,200
students find work for longer or
shorter periods through' this
agency. Carpet beating, wood
chopping, ,coal carrying, car
cleaning, babysitting, and gar-
dening are the most usual jobs.
Recently, however, for the first
time, the agency was asked to
provide a student for making an
over=fed pet dog lose weight by
riding a bicycle with the dog
trotting along beside him.

"The Policeman's
Lot Is Not .. e"
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
lYlurder, 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 Fogce 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 dueto habitual
handling of finger -print powders
which contained toxic metals.
DROWN MAGIC
When a certain British ship
reached Port Said last month, a
grimy Egyptian conjurer came
on board and said that if any-
one had "a half-crown English,"
he could make it vanish.
"I've got an English half-
crown in my right hand, in my
trouser pocket," said a passenger,
who had been that way before,
"See if you can make it vanish."
"Repeat after me," said the
conjurer, "Money gone, money
gone!" The man did so.
"See big magic, mister," said
the Egyptian, "Now show gentle.
mens 'your hand --money gonel"
"You're wrong," said the pas-
senger, and held Out his hand in
which a half-crown lay. In a
Hash the Egyptian snatched it,
vaulted the rail and was gone!
"No More Carves"
Says Fashion Expert
The Paris fashion openings
have ended to a group of con-
troversy. Once` again Chritian
Dior proves that he is before
all else a leader of fashion, since
it is inevitably Dior who raises
these debatble points about what
will, or will not, be worn.
Last year his ultra short skirts
raised a riot Of protestations, but
nevertheless his action halted the
downward drop of the hemline,
This season Dior does away with
all emphasis on the bosom; he
abolishes those elaborate curves
and accentuated movements in
drapery which many other hous-
es still favor. ,
Brassiere manufacturers are
indignant in some cases, jubi-
lant in others, for there is no
doubt that the new Dior line
will mean big sales in newly -
styled corsetry. So much inter-
est has been centered upon the
new flat -chested feature of his
designs that the long torso line,
which is what Dior really high-
lights, has been overlooked in
some of the first fashion reports,
Basing his formula on the
letter "11," he offers ultra long
and almost straight jackets, mark-
ing the narrow straight shoulder -
line by closely set-in sleeves and
straight breast pockets which are
repeated again by similar straight
flaps concealing pockets on the
hips His skirts are straight and
slender, rectangular silhouette
described by the letter of the
alphabet he has chosen as his
motif.
The long -torso, elegant, digni-
fied, and' above all new, molds
the natural waist very lightly.
It is unbroken by belt or seam.
Bodices or jackets finish at the
hips which may often be achen-
tuated by curved padding, or by
the rapidly developing width of
afternoon dresses and short or
full-length evening dresses.
In the matter of the jumper
blouse, instead of the blouse or
bodice tucked „into the top of
skirts, most designers are in
agreement with Christian Dior,
Jean Patou, in an excellent col-
lection, suggests rough home-
spun tweed jumpers worn with
slender skirts a n d matching
three-quarter length coats.
There is every indication that
square shoulders are coming in
again. Dior's straight inset
sieves do away with his pre-
vious ultra -sloping shoulder -
lines. Baleciaga squares, but
does not actually widen. the
shoulders of jackets and top-
, coats, many of which have
epaulet bands, while jewelled
clip or brooches are worn on the
very edge of one shoulder,
Jacques Fath also uses jewel-
lery in unusual places. His fav-
orite position for a huge paste
ornament, either white or color-
ed is below the waistline on one
hip, thus stressing the new divi-
sion of the figure and marking
the finish of his brief polonaise
jackets shown over dresses with
molded waists and full skirts.
Bust and waistlines are still
emphasized in Fath's exception-
ally varied collection suited to
three definite types of figure.
The tall slender, dignified type,
is offered a loose straight jacket
over a ,straight matching dress;
the youthful romantic type, a
dress with a full skirt, topped
by a polonaise jacket; the fuller
figure molded dresses with slen-
der skirts.
Never before have Paris de-
signers paid greater attention to
the type of figure they may be
called upon to dress. Lanvin-
Castillo shows a collection di-
vided into three acts or move-
ments. First is the new straight-
er line, with little emphasis on
the waist, with `straight skirts
and many long jumper lines.
Second is a 'group of day and
evening dresses based On cloche
skirts and trimly -fitted bodices.
Third, there is a 'wind-swept
movement with all fullness
drawn into the back of the skirt.

Happiness Within
Americans have always been.
known in some parts of the
world 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 pain's are among
the ailments which he has traced
to "money -sickness."
Anyone who makes much of a
study of human unhappiness and
tragedy is sure to be impressed
witn the overwnelmifig 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 conies 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.
Star Journal (Pueblo, Colorado)
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.
