tack, suffered bad wrench of his
right ankle in a scrimmage late
Wednesday, His left ankle was
hurt in Athens, Ga, just before the
squad left for Pasadena.
Sinkwich Is Optimistic.
"Oh,, it's nothing; I'll be all right
in a few days." Sinkwich assured his
teammates. Coach Wallace Butts
was equally confident his ace passer
and runner would be on hand for
the kickoff New Year Day. why,
he played all last year with broken
jaw, and he has had ankle injuries
before" Butts put in.
But the whole Georgia team may
be whistling in the dark. It may
not be one-man football team,
but SinkWich certainly is the most
important cog, and even If he plays
against the Bruins he's not going to
be in the best of condition.
In the U. c. l.. A. camp the news
of Sinkwich's injury was received
warily. 1t is no secret that the
Bruin camp is geared primarily to
the danger Of Frankie's understudy,
Charley Trippi. None of the coaches
is inclined to underestimate Sinky,
but Scout Cece Hollingsworth
brought back the warning from the
Georgia Tech game to keep a sharp
eye on Trippi. Reason: Trippi is
faster. Running backs without
speed haven't gone anywhere against
the speedy Uclans.

Bruins any good. These seem to be

Catholic Orders Ask
Changes in Proposed
Tax Exemption Law
Senute Unit Is Told
Present Bill Does Not
Aid Religious Groups
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)

Earlier Story on Page A-D
Several long established Cath
olic religious orders went before
the Senate District Committee
today to present amendments
they believe are necessary to in
clude them in a proposed new
law to grant District tax ex-
emptions to charitable, religious
and educational institutions.
Among those heard were the Rev.
Bartholomew Timlin of the Fran
clscan Holy Name College, the Rev
Adrian T. English of the Dominican
House of Studies, the Rev. William
J. Deacy of the Augustinian Col
lege the Rev. Francis j. Crump Of
the Oblates of Mary Immaculate,
and William T. Hannah, who ap-
peared as counsel for the Sulpician
Seminary. Ross O'Donoghue, who
accompanied Father Timlin. also
spoke for St. Anselm's S Priory of the
Benedictines
Father English and Attorney John
D. Fitzgerald brought out that the
Dominican Order was founded more
than TOO years ago and that their
building in Brookland is a recognized
theological seminary, having its own
faculty, to train members OF the
order for the priesthood.
Nevertheless, the witnesses said,
the District government has held it
is not an educational institution
under the present tax exemption
law. Father English suggested an
amendment to the bill to include in
the tax-exempt definitions, non
profit institutions conducting train
ing for the recognized professions.
Amendments Offered.
Theology he said, is the oldest of
all the professions.
Mr.. ODonoghue explained some
of the religious houses of study in
or near Brookland send their novices
to Catholic University and said the
bill would not exempt them unless
it is amended. He suggested an
amendent allowing exemption to
buildings used exclusively for bona
flde religious purposes" to take care
Of those study houses.
Father Deacy said the Augustinian
College has not been put on the tax
rolls He explained that it likewise
trains students for religious life
Mr.. Hannah, speaking for the
Sulpician Order, said its institution
here is affiliated with Catholic Uni
versity. He told the committee that
there are, in all, about A study
houses affiliated in varying degrees
with the university He suggested
therefore, that the words and their
afflliates" be inserted in the para
graph exempting universities. He
further suggested that the section
exempting churches be amended to
include structures used primarily
for religious purposes"

Members of the Senate Elec-

today to junk a controversial poll
tax clause in the interest of
swift passage of a bill permitting
members of the armed forces to
vote by absentee ballots as long
as they remained in the conti-
mental United States.

walls in six Southern States, as
voting prerequisite for soldiers,
sailors, marines and coast guards
men.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of
Illinois said a matter of practical
policy was involved.
I'VE can't get quorum in the
Senate right now Senator Lucas
said. "and if the bill were brought
up containing this controversial
provision any member could suggest
the absence of a quorum, thereby
delaying passage of the bill by one
or two weeks and probably for
feiting the right of the servicemen
to vote in the next general election
The House already has passed a
bill by Representative Ramsay,
Democrat, of West Virginia extend
ing absentee ballot privileges to serv-
ice men in the Continental United
States and Alaska. 1t is understood,
however, that for reasons of mill
tary security and because of the
administrative burden that the War

granting the vote to men serving
outside the United States proper.
Members indicated the Senate
committee would remove the Alaska
provision and report the bill to the
Senate with only minor amend
ments in the hope it can be passed
quickly and preparations made for

On Submission Of
Proof Of Necessity
4y the Associated Press.

MONTPELIER, VT, Aug. IA
Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson asserted today that wages
and farm prices would have to be
stabilized, adding: Although we
may not get rigid freezing of
wages, we certainly have got to
get stabilization and be sure that
any increases come only after
overwhelming submission of
proof of necessity"
His comment came in an inter-
view during which he also replied
to congressional criticism that his
Office of Price Administration was
interfering with production of COM
bat planes,
Commenting on bill which
would prohibit price control of
equipment which only the Govern
ment buys for war purposes, Mr.
Henderson said:
Il would be the rankest discrim-
ination to permit manufacturers
of military items to be left COM
pletely free of price regulation
In fact, it would be easier to
have imitation through unregulation
of prices for military items than it
would for other items"
The OPA chief said at the present
time between 80 and 35 cents of
every dollar spent in the United
States was for the war effort and
that when the war program was 60
ing full tilt it would be from so to
IS cents.
1T is obvious that items bought
by the Government must have
prices controlled" he said. How
ever, can assure you that the mat
ter will be handled satisfactorily.
In answer to question as to
whether 1--WE are going to stop in
fation,'' Mr.. Henderson asserted
fatty: Yes"
The price level may not hold rigid
but If / understand the temper
of the American people, they are not
