 The complexion changed consider ably (some faces on both sides of the aisle may be red if the perman- ent committee develops into as much of hotbed of controversy as the old Dies committee did). Seventy Democrats mostly Southern rallied to Rankin's banner, with l37 Re- publicans. The opposition was 2l votes short.
 The new standing committee, ac- cordmg to observers on the Hill, isn't out of the woods yet The next step is to get it funds and Rep. John J. Cochran tD.-Mo) chairman of the Accounts committee, opposed the measure. He indicated there would be scrap when the matter Of appropriations comes up.
 There is one other factor that's important. About 20 per cent of the 7eth Congress are freshmen. Many of them were completely bewildered by events that forced them to reg ister an important vote on highly controversial question before their legislative eyes were open.
 Most of them took instructions from party leaders or state colleag- ues. Observers are sure that when the soup sinners a little more, it will be a different dish of broth entirely, but whether it will change the outcome in any subsequent battles is something that can't be speculated on now.
 To those who have been around Ell or part of Representative Ran kins 24 years in the House, his ability to slip one over came as no surprise. Rankin never delivers a speech without first writing the one he thinks his opponents will deliver --and then writing his own to knock it down.

Bradley Fighters
 Snow Amherst, 61-63; Johnson Bags 23 Pts.

Bradley's Fighters went on a scoring spree against the Amherst College five during this past week and swamped the Lord Jeff's under a 61-31 blizzard.
 Once again Dewey Johnson was the airmen's leading luminary as he hit the bucket with everything but the referees whistle in chalk ing up point total of 23 markers. Miller and Burns found the cords for mine points each while Davis rang the bell from out front three times. Rainey, the Purple's star left forward scored nearly half his teams total when he racked up 13 counters.
 From the start, the Fighters su- periority in all branches of play was apparent as they jumped off to a 1894 lead at the close of the first quarter. The half ended with the home team on the juicy end of a 25-12 tally. Bradley added "A points in the third period and at the whistle, the scoreboard showed Bradley 49, Amherst 19. AS each team scored an even dozen points in the final heat, the Fighters maintained the 30 point bulge at
Bradley beam., 1945-01-13

Bradley led by hair at the end of the first half, 22-21, due to the sharp-shooting of Johnson, Loci cero and Gutkowski. Former Brad ley star, Denton Johnson, kept the Westoverians in the contest by disturbing the cords for seven points during the opening half. The Fighters, always a strong finishing outfit, turned on the heat during the last half and scored twenty-nine points to win going away. Time and again Gutkowski and LoCicero made the taller Flyers look foolish by snatching the inflated globule from them to set up the Bradley plays. Dewey Johnson, as usual, was unbeatable under the blackboard. .=..~
 Callahan, visitors center, was able to sink only two goals from field, but added eight free throws to his total for high honors for the visitors.
 By virtue of this win, the Fight CTS take possession of the North ern Division title and draw a bye in the quarter-finals. Bradley's next opponent, as yet undeter- mined, probably will be the strong Mitchell Field quintet. The HG five downed Fort Dix, 44-29, in it's

McVoy Court
Martial IN
Final Week

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-WP)-
Final arguments may begin this
week in court-martial proceedings
against Capt. Charles B. McVay III,
Skipper O. the sunken cruiser, In
dianapolis.
The trial went into its third week
today with the defense calling on
additional survivors of the ship in
its fight to clear McVay of charges
of negligent and inefficient COM
mand. The cruiser went down In the
Philippine Sea July 80 with loss of
$50 men,.
McVay's counsel, Capt. John P
Cady, planned to rest his case by
mid-week. The prosecution rested
its case last Friday.
Should McVay be acquitted, the
courts announcement is expected
soon after the final arguments. If
he is found guilty, the verdict would
first have to be reviewed by the
Navy's legal department ard the
Secretary Of the Navy. That would
probably delay an announcement
until some time in January.
During the first two weeks of the
trial the court heard testimony Of
nearly As witnesses. They included
ships survivors, civilian ard Navy
ship experts and the japanese sub
marine commander who sank the
cruiser, Cmdr. Iko Hashimoto.
McVay is accused by the Navy of
allowing the cruiser to follow a
straight rather than a zig-zag course
prior to the time she was sunk. He
also is charged with failing to give
prompt abandon ship orders after
the vessel was rocked by explosions.
In a fast-moYing. tWo-hour court
session held Saturday, McVay's de-
fense called II witnesses to testify
Of that number. seven said they
heard abandon ship orders given
but they could not identify the Off
GERS who gave them.
-Four witnesses who said they
heard no orders given to leave the
stricken cruiser admitted they were
in the rear part of the ship. They
added that the ships public address
system was damaged by the eX-
ploSions.
