A search oartv carrying- skis leaves Grenoble, France, in an attempt to reach the scene of the 


crash of an Army C-53 which was forced down in the Alps three days ago. Eleven persons are marooned 
on the rocky peak without food or shelter. Searchers are pessimistic regarding the prospects of reach- 
ing the downed plane while all eleven passengers are still alive.

Texas Natural Gas 


May Be Piped East 


in Fuel Emergency 


Federal Officials Consid- 


er Utilization of Idle 


Pipe Lines 


Washington, Nov. 23—(AP)— 


The government may attempt to 
MM effects of the coal strike by 
piping natural gas from Texas to 
the east'through the Big and Lit- 
tle Inch petroleum lines, federal 
officials disclosed today. 


One said -a decision will be 


made early next week based on 
these .major considerations: 


,1., "Whether,^operations can" be 


started sboflP^enougliA-d" help al- 
leviate the^fuel shortage, which, 
involves how long'the strike may 
be expected to last. 


2. Whether the project is feas- 


ible from an engineering stand- 
point. 


Agencies which have taken part 


In the discussions are reported 
to- be the interior department, 
Army, Navy, Federal Power Com- 
mission and War Assets Adminis- 
tration, among others. 


The two pipeline, 24 and 20 in- 


ches in diameter, run from Texas 
to the east coast refinery area. 
They were built by the govern- 
ment at a cost of 5145,800,000 and 
operated,during the war to carry 
petroleum. 
They have been idle 


for more than a year. 


Plan Considered 


The plan under consideration 


calls for cleaning out the lines 
and sending gas through with- 
out waiting to establish compres- 
sor stations which would be nec- 
essary to utilize maximum capac- 
ity. 


Representatives of the gas in- 


dustry have informed the govern- 
ment that it might be possible to 
begin transmission of gas within 
15 days on this basis if the gas 
fields were tapped directly. Hook-

Jons and Tigers 
in Bloody Battle 


in Peoria Friday 


Peoria, HI., Nov. 23.— (AP)— A 


age 
full 
of roaring, 
clawing, 


narling wild animals — nine lions 
and two tigers — ignoring their vet- 
ran trainer, engaged in a free- 
or-all five-minute fight yesterday. 


The beasts battled until exhaust- 


ed and when Trainer Dick Clem- 
ns, who had only a chair and a 
tick to defend himself, restored 
rder, two of the lions were dead. 


Clemens, soaking wet from what 


.e described the most harrowing 
xperience in 20 years of training 
animals, 
escaped 
w i t h o u t a 


cratch. 


"I've never seen such a fight in 


0 years of animal training," said 
Clemens, who is about 47. "They 


all in it. I was in the mid- 


le and I was scared. The young 
ions (four two-year olds) on one 
ide of me and the old ones and 
igers on the other. Then all Hell

"But they weren't after me. 


They were as intent on each oth-

Clemens brought in the young

GI's To Have Voice 


In Officer Choices 


Washington, Nov. 23 — (AP) — 


Enlisted men will have a voice on 
the merits of oth,er GI's who want 
commission's under a new system 
for choosing officer candidates. 
the war department announced 
today. 


The department predicted the 


revised procedure, more exacting 
than the wartime 
method, wil! 


"guarantee" that the best quali- 
fied men become officers. 


The new machinery for scoring 


qualifications is aimed at assur- 
ing that, future military leaders 
aie chosen more for "intelligence 
and officer-like qualities" than for 
formal education. 
Feb. 1. 


It is effective 


Currently the army is giving 


commissions to about 3,000 second 
lieutenants annually. The war de- 
partment predicts the number will 
be scaled down because of econo- 
my restrictions and the army's 
peacetime shrinkage. 


nounced 
by Brig. Gen. Ralph 


Snavely, directing rescue opera- 
tions for the U. S. Army. 


The C-53, with 11 American 


aboard, crash-landed Tuesday in 
a glacial bowl 8,000 feet above 
sea level, near Strahlegg Peak, 
13 miles southeast of Interlaken 
and just northeast of the mighty 
Jungfrau. 


(U. S. Army headquarters at 


Frankfurt said all 11 were^ alive). 


Brig. Gen. Ralph Tate said he 


talked by radio- with his son, 
Ralph Tate, Jr., pilot of the C-53, 
who told him all 11 persons had 
survived their four-day ordeal. 
The captain said eight were either 
sick or injured. 


Make Perilous Journey 


Silhouetted against the snow, 


the rescue party looked like a 
huge snake as it crept slowly 
ahead over the' snow-clad glacier. 
Newly fallen snow hid many crev- 
asses and the mountaineers, roped 
together, ventured forward at the 
peril of their lives. 


The lead jnan in the party had 


to work his way forward at times 
by crawling on his belly while his 
companions dug in to hold him in 
case the snow should give way 
beneath him. When the lead Alp- 
inist reached the end of the rope, 
he in turn dug in to hold while 
the second member of the. party 
followed with equal caution. The 
operation was repeated until the 
entire group had been pulled for- 
ward another few yards. 


Improved weather was helping 


ihe rescue party of about 65 mem- 
bers, retarded last night by rain 
and snow. 
The rescuers carried 


a dozen collapsible stretchers. By 
tonight they hoped to move the 
injured to a ski hut about half 
way down the tortuous descent 
to a valley. 


Ceneral Snavely, U. S. Airforce 


chief in Austria, who flew over 
the spot with Tate yesterday, 
said 12 persons had been aboard 
the C-53 when it crash-landed 
Tuesday enroute from Munich to 
Pisa and that eight of them were 
severely injured. 


(Snavely's headquarters in Vi- 


enna Wednesday listed 11 persons 
as having been aboard the plane).

of Illinois Districts 


Asked in New Suit 


Chicago, Nov. 23.—(AP)—Suit 


has -been filed in Federal court 
asking that the Illinois Legislative 
Apportionment Act of 1901 be de- 
clared unconstitutional. 


The 51 legislative districts in 


the state have been unchanged 
since 1901. The Illinois state Su- 
preme court has declined to grant 
relief on ten previous suits seek- 
ing reapportionment. The United 
States Supreme court last spring, 
by a 4 to 3 vote, and again last 
Monday, rejected a suit seeking 
congressional reapportionment, al- 
so unchanged since 1901. 


Two Professors Filing 


The suit was filed by Urban 


Lavery, Chicago attorney, on be- 
half of two Political Science Pro- 
fessors and an attorney. The pe- 
titioners were: Prof. Kenneth W. 
Colegrove, head of the Northwest- 
ern University Political 
Science 


Department; Prof. Jerome D. Ker- 
win. 
Political 
Science professor 


at the University of Chicago, and 
Peter J. Chamales, an attorney. 
Cham ales and Colegrove were pe- 
titioners in the previous suit dis- 
missed by the U. S.

court.

Washington, Nov. 23—(AP) — 


Amid drastic government moves 
to ease tightening soft coal short- 
ages, President Truman 
headed 


back from Florida today to resume 
personal command of his "finish 
fight" with John L. Lewis. 


Government officials

Probing Committee to Hear Charge 


of Red Secret Police Operations 


Washington, Nov. 23.—(AP)— 


The house committee on un-Amer- 
ican activities docketed for the 
next congress today the follow- 
through on charges that Soviet 
secret police are active in the 
United States. 


Also left for the January ses- 


sion was the decision on a request 
by Rep. Rankin (D-Miss). a com- 
mittee member, for contempt ac- 
tion against Dr. Harlow Shapley 
of the Harvard faculty. Rankin 
complained Shapley declined 
to 


answer questions at a closed-door 
session last week concerning or- 
ganizations active, in the Nov. 5 
elections. 


The committee adjourned soon 


after hearing a former communist 
leader express the opinion Russia 
is 
waging 
a "war of nerves" 


against the United States. Mem- 
bers indicated the witness. Louis 
F. Budenz. will be recalled later 
for further questioning. 


Particularly, 
committee mem- 


bers said they want to know more 
about "communist front" groups 
in this country and about the ac- 


tivities of the secret police. 


Budenz, for ten years a commu- 


nist and former editor of the Dail> 
Worker, official communist publi- 
cation, told the committee yester- 
day he would assemble detailed in- 
formation on both subjects for his

than 35 years the state general 
assembly has "persistently and 
continuously failed and refused to 
comply" with state constitutional 
provisions requiring legislative re- 
districting every ten years.

Lavery said that Cook county 


now has a population of 4,063,000 
while the state as a whole has 
7,897,000 persons. At present. 19

of electricity—even Christmas tree 
lighting—in 21 states and the Dis- 
trict of Columbia. 


Attorneys Prepare Cases 


Meanwhile 
attorneys 
for the 


justice department and the United 
Mine Workers marshalled their ar- 
guments for the court contempt 
proceedings Monday which might 
put Lewis behind bars. 


Neither side showed any dis- 


position to compromise. 


The goverment contends Lewis 


is in contempt of U. S. district 
judge T. Alan Goldsborough, who 
ordered him to call off his con- 
tract "termination" which led 400,- 
000 workers to leave the 3,300 gov- 
ernment-held mines." Lewis has 
said nothing since the injunction 
was issued Monday. 


Truman was due back at the 


White House in mid-afternoon 
along with his chief labor advisor, 
reconversion 
director 
John 
R. 


Steelman, who flew down for con- 
ferences during 
the 
president's 


week-long vacation at Key West. 


In the president's absence,_ gov- 


ernment "agencies went ahead with 
plans to soften the impact of the 
coal stoppage.

than those in wartime.

Not as Drastic as 


Ban Last Spring 


By The Associated Press 


Although the new dimout or- 


der is more stringent than that in 
effect during wartime, it does not 
curtail use of electricity as'dras- 
tically as was ordered in northern 
and central Illinois 
during last 


spring's coal strike. 


The new dimout order, issued 


yesterday by the Civilian Produc- 
tion Administration for 21 states 
in the Northeastern Quarter of 
the nation, and effective at 4 p. 
m. Monday, completely bans use 
of electricity for window displays 
or advertising signs. 
A 25 per 


cent reduction is required in use 
of electricity for lighting streets, 
buildings, and other places except 
homes, and for running passenger 
elevators and escalators. 


All Illinois Included 


All of Illinois is included in the 


new dimout area. In last spring's 
curtailment, only 
the 
northern 


two-thirds of the state was af- 
fected. 


In the dimout last spring, or- 


dered by the Illinois Commerce 
Commission, industries were limit- 
ed to 24 hours of operation a -week 
and commercial users were lim- 
ited to use of power between 2 
p. m. and 6 p. m., Monday through 
Saturday. No such provisions are 
included in the new federal order. 


Even more drastic steps may be 


ordered, however, if the current 
coal strike is prolonged. The CPA 
instructed utilities to further cur- 
tail service when their coal stocks 
are down to a 15-day supply, and 
set a -third stage' of curtailment 
when stocks are down to 10-day 
level.

(Sy The Associated Press) 


The effects of the nation's par- 


alyzing soft coal work stoppage 
began to spread- throughout the 
country 
today, 
hitting 
nearly 


every phase of industry and busi- 
ness and bringing drastic fuel- 
conservation measures from the 
government. 


As industry spokesmen predict- 


ed an expansion in the ranks of 
the idle due to curtailment in 
coal-related operations, the Civil- 
ian 
Production 
Administration. 


ordered a dimout in 21 states and 
the District of Columbia, effective 
at 5 p. m. (CST) Monday. 


In some cities large users of 


electricity for display purposes re- 
duced or eliminated such light- 
ing without waiting for the time 
designated by the CPA to cur- 
tail non-essential use of electric- 
ity. 
The dimout, more drastic 


than in wartime, will be in effect 
in an area extending from Minne- 
sota eastward into the New Eng- 
land states.

Budenz said he felt certain com-

"The Soviet government," he 


said, "is engaged in a war of

course, its own variations. This 
war of nerves will go to the point 
of military conflict. 
That is, it

Artist Known Here 


Escapes Holdupman 


A clipping from a New Tork 


paper, sent the Telegraph by F. X. 
Newcomer of Dixon, who is in the 
metropolis, relates the story of 
the holdup of friends of Mrs. Ber- 
nard M. Phillipp, the former Jane 
Peterson, famous painter, cousin 
of the late Charles R. Walgreen, 
and a frequent visitor at Hazel- 
wood, the Walgreen estate north 
of Dixon. 


Victims of the holdup, staged 


by a lone gunman with polite man- 
ners, were Mr and Mrs. Henry 
B. Mack, who a few moments be- 
fore had let Mrs. Philipp out of 
their car at her home, and the 
value of the furs, jewelry and cash 
taken by the bandit was estimated 
at 511,600, but New York police 
said it might amount to many 
times that sum. 


The holdup was witnessed by 


a house guest of Mrs. Philipp, who 
telephoned police, but by the time 
radio cars reached the scene the 
holdup man had made his escape.

Long Beach Nov. 23. — (AP) — 


Pansies or even onions — it's all

geraniums be planted on the City 
Hall lawn. 


Park 
Superintendent Herman 


Sch«rer was just as adamant for 
pansies. He said they were pret- 
tier than geraniums. He'd resign, 
he said, if it had to be geraniums, 
which Miss 
Gunsul said were 


cheaper, being perennials. 


The park board decided on pan-

Denver kids today: No classes

But this 


time they'll get their home 
work assigned by remote con- 
trol. 


School officials took a look 
at their coal bins 
yesterday, 


decided there wasn't enough 
to heat the 76 buildings, and 
come up with the now-famil- 
iar 
announcement: 
"Classes 


suspended". 


It was the third time it had 


happened this year. First it 
was the polio epidemic last 
September, then a blizzard 
two weeks ago. 


This time, 
however, 
they 


aren't going to get off so easy.

Following an outburst of shooting at an Eckman, W,. Va., coa 


mine, the body of 65-year-old Will Hunt lies at the feet of police ant 
witnesses. Also slain in the mine operations dispute was Roosevel 
Thomas, 45. U is expected that a formal charge of murder will be 
placed against Sam Curry, 49, a mine foreman, who allegedly did the 
shooting.. (NEA Telephoto).

Florida, may call a bi-partisan.

Bi-Partisan Talk 


on Strike Likely 


Washington, Nov. 23—(AP) — 


President Truman may call a bi- 
partisan conference of 
congres- 


sional leaders if developments next 
week fail to indicate a quick so- 
lution of the coal stoppage, one 
of his advisers said today. 


The idea will be to canvass pro- 


posals 
for 
legislation affecting' 


the strike with a view to working 
out an agreement among the top 
men of both parties, explained a 
White House lieutenant on Capitol 
Hill. 


Truman is said to doubt right 


now that a special session of the 
lame duck congress would have 
any value. 


But if the proposed conference 


could work out n way to end the 
coal walkout or soften its effects, 
the adviser said, either the 79th. 
congress could be called back or 
legislation whipped into shape for 
the new 80th to consider when it 
meets in January. 


Republicans Willing 


Senator Wiley (R-Wis), who has 


been advocating a special session, 
told a reporter he believes Repub- 
licans would be glad to join with . 
the president in discussion of pos- 
sible legislation. 


"I think some constructive ideas 


might come out of such a con- 
ference," he said. "By next week 
we will know something about the 
outcome of She court proceedings 
the justice department has brought 
against John Lewis and legislation 
could be discussed in the light of 
those developments." 


Senator Ball (R-Minn), who hat 


contended that new legislation is 
unlikely to be effective in meeting' 
the ,present crisis, said he thinks 
it would be wise for the Republi- 
cans to hear Truman's Idew be- 
fore introducing bills which might 
have some bearing on the outegOM

Turkey for Thanksgiving 


^,"$VN |j.,- l^-l^f^lvfl 


Old man gobbler will go on the block this coining week as Thanks-, 


giving approaches and homemakers, in many cases, will be preparing 
their first holiday dinner since members of their families have returned 
to their homes from service in the-./armed forces. More turkeys with 


more meat is in prospect for the midwest since figures reveal that more 
than one-half, of Illinois' 1,230,000 turkeys, have already been marketed. 
According to the state agriculture department, this year's production 
will be the largest in the history of state poultry producers. The flock 


of birds in the above photo was snapped recently on their feeding range 
west of Amboy. 'Mr. and Mrs. Albert Keyes, operators of the turkey 
ranch are shown in the background. 


The steel work on the Grand Detour bridge began to take shape this week as 


a number of girders were placed in,position. Contrary to many rumors in the lo- 
cal area/construction officials have pointed out that a full staff of workmen will 
stay on the project until the bridge is completed. 


A drive for $20,000 is being launched in Sublette to finance the pur- 
cation has been the site of the Angear hospital and the present effort for 


chasing and rehabilitation of the building in the above photo. This jo- 
funds will make the institution a permanent part of the community. 


Hunting was good this week as Walter Clapper, 


423 Lincoln avenue, secured the above five coons. Dur- 
ing five hours of hunting, Wednesday night, Mr. Clap- 
per treed the animals individually with the aid of his 
dog, "Spot." 
Damp rainy weather, which reportedly 


is ideal for this type of hunting, contributed much to 
the success of Mr. Clapper's expedition and he was 
particularly satisfied since three animals, in one night, 
had been his record to date. 


Members <lff,-tne Zion Household Sci ende Club visited The Telegraph this week 


and saw all of the departments in operation as the daily newspaper went to press. 
The group included Mrs. Carl Janssen, Mrs. Viola Strub, .Mrs. George Lair, Mrs. 
Glenn Gilbert, Mrs. Howard Sweitzer, Miss Darlen Clymer, Mrs. Carl Janssen, Jr., 
Mrs. Louis Sindlingeri Miss Donna Clymer, and Miss Wihna Clymer.

to be a lot of hot air. 


A member walked into the

a hat being swept off the shelf

inside the vent and discovered 
six hats. All apparently had 
been caubht up in the

Cast of Dramatic Club Production "New Fires" 


• Pictured above is the cast of the Dixon high school dramatic club's presentation "New Fires" which was given last evening in the 


high school auditorium. Pictured from left to right: Dick Clausen Shirley Barrowman, Eddie Enichen, Jim Ambrose, Joyce Howeil,

Dramatic Club's "New Fires" 


Is Three-Act Comedy Success 


The high school dramatic club presentation of "New 


Fires" last night was received by one of the largest and 
most appreciative audiences in years. Directed by R. F. Gale, 
the three-act comedy hit was well cast and proved a great 
evening's entertainment for the audience. 


Bryan Cannon (Stephan Santry) was intent on making 


his family appreciate the beauty of a simple life, although 
he had to buck his entire brood to do so. Beverly Wullen- 
webber (Mrs. Santry) especially was dead set against the 
type of life he had chosen in an old Missouri Ozark farm 
community, and made more than 
enough trouble for her author- 
husband. The maid, Joyce Batch- 
elder (Lucinda) and her assistant, 
Elizabeth Gall (Suzanne Toler) 
made life miserable for the city- 
bred family at first, and Lucinda 
brought chuckles aplenty with her 
outspoken remark's and actions' 
toward the Santry family. 


Jim Ambrose and Nancy Bren- 


ner (Billy and Phyllis) were the 
two teen-age cut-ups of the fam- 
ily, constantly getting- into some- 
one's hair and sending the audi- 
ence into riotous laughter with 
their 
quips. 
Richard 
Clausen 


(Dick) and Joan Westgor (Olive) 
rounded out the family circle, 
Dick being a college graduate with 
no -goal in life until he married 
Shirley Barrowman (Eve) and dis- 
covered he had to make his own 
way. Olive was one of the head 
conspirators for leaving the old 
farmhouse until she met Walter 
Oregiesen (Dr. Lynn Gray) and 
began concentrating on making- 
him pop the question. 


Dorisann Drew (Alary Marshall) 


kept the household together by 
contracting scarlet fever and caus- 
ing a quarantine of the family. 
It didn't take Billy long to team 
up with her, and sister Phyllis 
wasted little time in snagging the 
bashful Eddie Enichen (Jerry) 
who dropped all form of modesty 
when discussing his hunting skills. 


Mary's mother. 
Joyce Howeil 


(Mrs. Marshall) and Russell Hall- 
quist and Carol Kling- (Mr. and 
Mrs. Sid Sperry) all added the 
generous local flavoring to the 
production with, their backwoods 
talk and actions. 


All ended well for the family. 


with Mrs. Santry completely con- 
tented with her new life and the 
remainder of the brood too busy 
with other things to even con- 
sider 
returning to their 
city 


home'. 


Before curtain time, Ann Chap- 


man and Ann Beanblossom played 
'three piano duets, and between- 
the-acts entertainment was pro- 
vided by Marilyn Cooper singing 
several popular selections, Alice 
Collins soloing on the piano witfi 
three numbers, Neva Heckman and 
Norma Staley teaming lip for a 
tap dance routine, and Donna Me-

BOB FALLSTRO1 


COMJPLiAINT DEIT.—Coach Rex Millikin of Geneseo writes: 


Why don't you and some of the larger daily papers publicize our 
conference teams juore?" "You should run schedules, box scores, fea- 
tures, etc. "Wo have a good conference and should be proud of it." 


In answer, Rex, here is our side of the question: 
; 
We have always tried to build up the NCIC as much as possible. 


XTnfortunately, some of the member schools (not Dixon) haven't co- 
6perated in providing news. 


- - One of our pet gripes about the NCIC is its complete lack of 


organization- The outfit seems to be for principals only (coaches 
are. invited, to a dinner once a year) and most of the school bosses 
look unkindly on reporters for some obscure reasn. 


Publicity" releases aren't provided by the loop. It's either dig- 


stories up on your own hook or simply let 'em ride. When the cir- 
cuit does send out a release (usually final football and cage stand- 
itf°s) they're so non-sensical it's a joke. As in November, 1944, when 
final football standings were released showing some of the elevens 
winding- up with half-victories and half-defeats. 
We ask you Rex, 


does that sound logical? When a system is devised to score games 
half-and-half O. K. but until then . . . phooey! 


The league doesn't even remember scribes with a copy of offi- 


cial games. ° At least. The Telegraph has never receivd a copy. If 
th school principal is obstinate and refuses to give up his table it's 
a devil of a mess trying to keep conference standings. 


We suggest you direct a cop of the letter to the loop prexy for 


action . . ° if you can discover who the chief is. We believe you 
have a logical gripe. But the newspaper boys aren't entirely to blame. 


BOCK RIVER !O\VDO\VN—Digesting; the Kock River 


Valley conference split-up, thes»e points come to mind: 


f. The four withdrawing members, Polo, Oregon, Mount 


- Morris and Mount Carroll, have been unhappy for several 


years. Invariably these schools have had to settle for con- 
solation honors as Hofhflle and Morrison hogged football and 
cage crwns. 
2. Xow they're fed up with the situation. The quartet 


believes a more evcnlv balanced loop can be built with ten 


r- 
addition of Lanark and possibly South Beloit, Hononegah of 
Rockton and Harlem of Rockford. 


3 Polo was especially angered this fall when two Rames 


were forfeited because the Marcos inadvertently failed to 
schedule Rochelle and Morrison. 
This may have been the 


prime factor in Polo's decision to get out. 


4s it stands, the Hub*. Mallets and Amboy are in the 


cold. Rochelle has outgrown the RRVC in population and 
shouldn't have undue trouble hooking on with another loop, 
perhaps the XCIC. 
Vf,ff. 
»* , 
Morrison also would be welcomed In the >C1C. It is 


known thafc many North Central members 
frown upon 


Geneseo due to mileage difficulties and the Mallets might 
move in should the Maple Leafs be ousted. 


However, Amboy seems to be stranded. ITnless they can 


- 
line up with another nearby conference, the Irish may find 


"' 
their athletic squads becoming 
only a 
fill-in for bigger 


schools' schedules. 


SHORT SHOTS "The grid classic of the year" is billed for Ro- 


chelle Thanksgiving day. 
A composite team of 1940-41-42 and part 


of the '43 alumni of Rochelle high will oppose an eleven made up ot

Kings, Bowl 
Teams Today 


New York, Nov. 23—(AP) — 


With Army definitely removed 
from the post-season picture, col- 
lege football today gets down to 
the business at hand—the choos- 
ing of Bowl contestants and the 
naming of conference champions. 


And with the 1946 campaign 


running out across the land the 
program is rife with tradition, 
including such ivy-festooned ri- 
valries at the Yale-Harvard clas- 
sic, 
down for its 63rd renewal at 


the stadium in Cambridge, Mass. 


Army closed the door on post- 


season game speculation yester- 
day when the military academy 
communiqued that the unbeaten 
titans of the nation's gridirons for 
three years will call it a campaign 
with the Navy game next Sat- 
urday. 


In the afternoon's big game. 


University of California at Los 
Angeles goes against its big in- 
tra-city rival. Southern Califor- 
nia, in the battle before more 
than 100,000 fans that will decide 
the 
Pacific 
Coast 
conference 


champion and coast contestant in 
the Rose Bowl. UCLA is a seven 
point favorite. 


Big Nine Features 


The eastern Rose Bowl nomina- 


tion hinges on the outcome ot 
two Big Nine games—Michigan 
vs. Ohio State at Columbus and 
Illinois vs. Northwestern at Ev- 
anston. 
An Illini triumph would 


clinch the Big Nine title regard- 
less of how second-place Michigan 
fares 
against 
third-place 
Ohio 


State. 


Two other 
closing Big Nine 


games in the neighborhood scrap 
category are Indiana's invasion 
of Purdue and Minnesota's visit 
to Wisconsin. 


Notre Dame, ranking just a 


shade below Army in the latest 
national ratings, goes to New Or- 
leans for its traditional inters^c- 
tional joust with Tulane. 


Georgia, with UCLA the only 


major elevens owning perfect rec- 
ords^ figures Jo rrfake it an easy 
day against Chattkhooga, a warm 
up for 
( next week's 
important 


meeting with Georgia Tech. Tech 
entertatins Furman. 


State vs. Ol' Miss 


The 
traditional 
duel 
between, 


Mississippi and ^Mississippi State 
is one of the south's major clash- 
es, along witek the Tennessee-Ken- 
tucky game and the Duke-North 
Carolina meeting. 
Virginia 
en-1 


tertains West Virginia, Clemson 
is at Auburn and North Carolina 
State visits Florida. 


Rice is favored to add Texas 


Christian to its string of victims 
and thereby strengthen its bid 
for \he Cotton Bowl. Rice must 
also beat Baylor next week be- 
fore it gets its hunk of the South- 
xvest conference title. 
Arkansas, 


sure of at least a tie. is idle until 
Thursday's date with Tulsa. Bay- 
lor 
meanwhile 
faces '-Southern 


Methodist.

Grants, Steelers In 
1st Place Showdown1 


New York, Nov. 23.—(AP)—First place in the Eastern 


division will be at stake tomorrow when the New York Giants 
and Pittsburgh Steelers lead the National League football 
teams into the final two weeks of a record breaking season. 


Seemingly assured of the Eastern title a week ago, the 


Giants lost ground when the winless Boston Yanks held them 
to a 28-28 tie-while the Steelers moved up within a half game 
of the Giants by pulling a surprise 10-7 win over the Philadel- 
phia Eagles. 


The Giants and Steelers have me once before this seas- 


on with the Giants winning, 17-14. 


Sharing the spotlight with the Giant-Steeler affair, are 


the Washington-Philadelphia game and the Chicago Card- 
inals-Packers game at Green Bay. Lingering title hopes of 
the Redskins, Eagles and Pack- 


Paw Paw Licks 


Leland Quintet 


Paw Paw, playing on its home 


hardwood, licked 
Leland. 48-24. 


last evening after nabbing a 21-6 
intermission advantage. 


After half time, Paw Paw stead-1 


ily pulled away to win easily. 
Jones banged in 14 points for 
Coach Bill Grove's wirSiers and 
Henry bagged 11. Leland's top 
scorer was Basser with 11 tallies. 


ers will be at stake in these two 
battles. 


The Packers still have a slim 


chance to overtake the Chicago 
Bears for the western title. To 
do so. they must sweep games 
with the Cardinals. Redskins and 
Los Angeles Rams while the Bears 
are winning- only one game of 
two—Detroit and the Cardinals. 


Rams Invade Boston 


Bob Waterfield leads the Rams 


into Boston for a pitching duel 
with Paul Governali while the De- 
troit Lions will try for their sec- 
ond victory of the season against 
the Bears in Chicago. 


In the All-America conference, 


the spotlight \vill be focused on 
Cleveland as the Buffalo Bisons 
try to delay the Browns' clinching 
of the Western division. The New 
york Yankees have already cap- 
tured the Eastern championship. 


A victory will put the Browns 


out of reach of Los Angeles, San 
Francisco and 
Chicago, all of 


whom, have a chance for second 
place money. • 
* 


The Yankees will attempt to 


stretch their winning streak to 
six games against the Chicago 
Rockets at Yankee stadium while 
it will be the triple-threat talents 
of 
Glenn Dobbs 
of 
Brooklyn 


against the passing of Frankie 
Albert of San Francisco at Eb- 
bets field.

What has been described as the 
greatest piece of writing to come 
out of the war, "Hiroshima" by 
John Hersey, was made available 
for general circulation at the li- 
brary this week. Mr. Hersey's ac- 
count of the first atomic bombing 
appered originally in ':The New 
Yorker" which devoted the entire 
editorial space of one issue to the 
story. 
"Hiroshima" is not only an ac- 
count of how a city was destroyed; 
"Hiroshima" is the story and ex- 
perience of six people who surviv- 
ed the bomb, a monk, an office 
girl, a Protestant minister, a doc- 
tor a medical student, and a war 
widow with 
two children. The 
story begins at 8:15 a. m. on Aug. 
6. 1945, the time when the bomb 
flashed out of the sky, and .con- 
tinues 
through 
the unbelievable 
days which followed. Mr. Hersey 
does not moralize, his reporting is 
concise and 
objective, 
but the 
reader never loses the ultimate 
meaning of this battle. If all adult 
Americans could be persuaded

Hart's letter explained that,

of our thinking would be clearer 
and more consistent. The message 
of this beek is not so much that 
wars are terrible and that one hun- 
dred thousand human beings can 
be klled with the bomb 'from one 
ail-plane, but rather that these 
same human beings had
