Competition is truly fierce this winter among the various college Barketball Conferences. Virtually all are in tight races with the cur rent leaders likely to stumble daily.
 Typical of the free-for-all scram- ble was Iowa's 43-42 defeat by Illinois during the past week. It was Iowa's first loss of the season after ten straight victories, and threw the Big Ten Conference race into four-way push between the Hawkeyes, Ohio State, Illinois and Wisconsin. Each of the four squads has lost only one league game. Un- derdog Wisconsin upset 12-point- favorite Northwestern 44-43.
 South Carolina, Duke and Rich mond are all unbeaten in Southern Conference play, with the Game Cocks roasting temporarily at the top by virtue of having played more games. They whipped Citadel, 59-5I, while Duke nearly. upset
 mbesten Navy before losing their non-league game, 54-43. Tennessee, with a four wins and no loss re- cord, paces the Southeastern cir cult, with Kentucky and Alabama close behind. Kentucky, previously beaten only by Tennessee, lost, 59- 58, to Notre Dame in an extra period. non-conference thriller.

 After dishes were removed the notables at the speakers table were introduced Then the toasmaster looked around and said "Oh, yes, we have others from Mississippi here too. Let me call out their names but will those persons in the interest of say" ing time, please refrain from making speeches"
 Then he called Bilbos name. The Senator hunched himself up briefly and forced smile. There was light applause Then he asked Rankin to stand There may have been little more applause.
 
 Gov. Bailey was the main speaker. He started by saying
 ''The state of Mississippi is sometimes misunder- stood :"
 The assembled reporters looked bored during the governors recital of the wonders of the state sev" eral looked skeptlcal when he alleged that not one hour had been lost fin the State of Mississippi during the war due to strikes.

PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 Tn the current Bulletin" of the New School for Social Research Dr. Alvin Johnson states the first prob- lem of peace; food for the starving. The Foreign Ministers have met and made some progress in adjust ing national interests in the cause of peace. But Dr. Johnson says, "the interests of mankind are much more deeply involved in the menace of starvation that looms over iin- mense populations of our former allies and of our former enemies" And unless the governments ad- dress themselves promptly and vig- orously to the problem of food sup ply" millions will starve in the coming winter in Europe and in China and Japan.
 To draw a parallel on a humber level, are not we in this country far too concerned over domestic comfort in the face of the stark threat of famine ahroad7 Food con- trols have been quickly relaxed. That question is troubling many of Americas sober, solid citizens who want rationing retained whenever It's retention will save food for the worlds hungry. Congress has not yet fulfilled this nations commit ments to the United Relief and Re- mobilization Administration. Dare 1t delay when the immediate problem of hunger makes all other settle- ments futile for so many?
 We rationalize our uneasiness over too well stocked larders by thinking that perhaps conditions are not So bad as some say. Representative Christian A. Herter, who attended the council meeting of U. N. R. R. A and later visited countries where 1t operates, answered this per- haps' before Congress last week: Europe is now entering upon a winter the consequence of which in terms of distress and deprivation cannot be overemphasized."
 Dr. Johnson points out that there Is no insufflciency of supply. Our own well laden tables attest to that What is needed is the drive and the organization to assemble and dis- tribute 1t. And we in America can insist that our statesmen apply themselves at once to acquitting this nations responsibility for re- lieving hunger when we have plen- ty, for relieving hunger even if we have short ratlons.

 war cracked down, the football team of the Uni- versity of Georgia losing, through graduation Al-Amerca halfback by the name of Frankie Sink wich.
 Gloom was not too thick in that portion of Dixie however because young star named Charles Trippi has just moved up to the varsity, and 1t wasn't any cinch but that great the scintillang SinkWich unquestionably was Trppi didn't make him look like an aged cab horse with the slanders. Young Trippi went Into the Army Air Forces and was recently discharged with but q points and admittedly after pressure from the two United States Senators from Georgia.
 Part of the official, and from this distance, very limp excuse advanced Is that Trippi is needed at home In order to support assorted collection of and dear relatives. including his parents and wife and child But Trippi is admittedly going back to the University of Georgia He Is eligible for 1t and 1t seems universally taken for granted that he will immediately join the University of Georgia football team, business institution, all of them are operating with an eye to the extra dividend of up to Sl00000 to be had from regional champion. ship and the possible invitation to the Rose or the Sugar Bowl, which is the reasonable expectancy.
 Intercollegiate football Is ofacially an amateur game, and so unless the Georgia Athletic Association some well heeled Georgia alumni or some other peo- pie or process is underwriting the Tripp family ex- penses the trick must be being worked somehow through the CT Bill of Rights.
 Maybe it is sufficient to carry that sort of load for the Tripps, but many other servlcemen profess theseve6 ag unable to sec sufficient help n ~ and many Of them write letters to the newspapers about
