An important step toward the

islation dealing with the various
phases Of civil aviation was taken by
the Senate during the past week,
when it passed the McCarran reso-
luton creating new standing COM
mittee Of the Senate to deal with all
matters of commercial and civil avi-
alton.
The new legislative group, to be
known as the Committee on Air Com
merce and Civil Aviation, will be
composed Of IL Senators and probably
will be set up at once. To this COM
mittee will be referred aviation mat
ters which in the past have been scat
tered among a number Of the Senate
standing committees. The specialized
form of treatment is expected to re-
suit in considerable improvement in
the handling of the many and often
conflicting aviation bills now in the
hands of various committees.

On every hand acclaim of the
Red and Black is heard. It is
agreed that the Orange Bowl COM

saying that if the Cards reach the
peak reached on Thanksgiving
Day against North Carolina State,
they will have a fine chance to
win.
Overnight, almost, strong op-
position to the Orange Bowl game
has developed at Vanderbilt. The
efforts of genial Dan McGugin to
win the consent of university of.
ficialS to accept the invitation to
play are being bitterly fought. No
decision on the game can come
from Vanderbilt for several days,
and indeed, the Commodores may
decline the invitation to play.

accept an invitation to play. Sta
