The W Washingion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col Robert S. Allen now on active
 service with the Army)

WASHINGTON - While dynamic popular Eric Johnston, President of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce, has been wowing them in the East the folks back in his home state of Washington aren't too happy Republicans in Washington state call Eric "ballot-shy."
 Reason is that he won't come back and run for the Senate seat of retiring Senator Homer Bone, soon to become circuit judge. Republicans think that the live wire President of the U. s. Cham Der might help to lift up the en- tire COP ticket and give them a chance to win. But he won't come.
 They attribute this to the almost forgotten fact that Johnston did run for the Senate in the Republi- can primaries in 1940 and was snow ed under. He was beaten by Re- publican Steve Chadwick, former American Legion Commander, who got 137, ,O00 votes against Fries 40,- 900. Then, in the final election, Chadwick was beaten by Democrat Mon Wallgren, now in the Senate.
 Democratic candidate for Bones place will be go-getting young Rep resentative Warren Magnuson of Seattle, who will be hard to beat. If Johnston should run against him and lose, his national prestige might go down the drain. Also, friends urge that he is doing an Al job for the U. s. Chamber.
 Senator Mon Wallgren, who now will run for Governor. wants to leave the Senate fer the same req son many others have-namely, the difficulty of living on Senator's $l0,000 when you have to keep a home in two places, and when everything else has gone up.
 Wallgren, one of the best-liked men in the Senate. runs a jewelry store in Everett, Wash, but sel- dom gets home to take care of it. He first jumped into prominence when he won the three cushion billiard championship in Washing ton.

CALIFORNIA LICKED
 BY UCLA SATURDAY

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13-Two successive pass interference penal ties against California in the second period enabled UCLA to whip the Golden Bears, ' to 0, Saturday.
 Most of the game was played in a heavy downpour and there were mudholes in various sections of the turf. The game itself was in a drab setting and footing was so precar- ious that linemen were on top of the ball carrier before he could get underway. Reverses were attempted and end runs resulted in losses more often than not.
 Bob Waterfield's superlative punt ing with wet ball was the real factor in UCLA winning the game. UCLA scored after intercepting a pass from California on the 45-yard line. Waterfield passed and Cali fornias Rossi, who lateraled to Vic Smith, went to California's 47-yard line. Waterfield then fired pass to Californias 20-yard line. The officials ruled interference. Three plays later another pass interfer- ence ruling gave UCLA the ball On California's eight-yard line. There, Waterfield lobhed a pass to Nelson King, substitute end. Waterfield converted the score.
