Washington-There is a good
chance that Secretary of Agri-
culture Clinton P. Anderson
may boost again the ceiling
prices on livestock if the meat
shortage continues for any
length of time or becomes more
acute.
Such action by Anderson
would force OPA to raise meat
ceiling prices at all levels of
sale, thus adding more millions
to consumers annual food bills.
Although OPA Boss Paul
Porter has declared that there
will be no upward revision
of meat prices, there is moth
ing he can do if Anderson de-
cides to hike the livestock cell
ings.
The new Price Control Act
empowers the secretary of ag-
riculture to raise ceiling prices
whenever he finds that existing
price levels impede production.
Anderson could act merely by
ruling that the present live
stock prices have cut meat out
put.
OPA must carry out within
10 days any recommendation
on food prices made by the
secretary of agriculture. An
derson used this power to set
the present livestock ceilings
on Aug. %, although OPA ar
gued for lower prices.
Government officials say that
there IS virtually no chance for
restoration of meat rationing.
Don't look for any sensation
al improvements in the United
States diplomatic service as a
result of the neWly-enacted bill
to increase the pay of foreign
service officers and to provide
other reforms.
Like other legislation affect
ing the diplomatic service, it
will probably take years to
show up in concrete results.
This was also the case several
years ago when the diplomat
ic and consular services were
united and a foreign service
officer could hope to rise to the
rank of minister.
Aside from the question of
more pay, there is still the mat
ter of manpower shortage. For
eign service officers are not
made overnight and, with new
embassies and legations open
ing up all over the world. the
department is hard put to it
to find able men to do the
work.
Moreover, smart companies
eager to regain a position in
foreign trade are bidding
against the state department
for qualified personnel.
Then, too, Congress, which
has never been willing to put
United States ENJOYS on the
same footing with those of for
eign powers, was quick to re-
trench on this years state de-
partment appropriation.
The constant grumble heard
around the state department is
that Congress will spend any
amount to prosecute a war but
is niggardly when it comes to
spending money to maintain
the peace-whieh is the princi-
pal job of Secretary James
Byrnes' organization.
If the faster-than-sound plane
proves a success in its coming
tests at Muroc Dry Lake, Cal,
this fall many of today's bombs
will be numbered. S%upersonic
craft will require weapons and
bombs of radically different
design.
For instance. travelling at a
rate OF $50 miles per hour, such
bombs would have to be laid
down with much more accura-
cy, would need to fall faster,
present less wind resistance
and be more sensitive. Gun
merry, too, may undergo vast
changes since a fighter has just
a split second on his target

dition. No theory c~onfronts

mel.
Now, the last question raised
the teachers welfare. AL
though common justice dictates
that teachers should be paid a
decent wage, that the level of
salary should be in line with
the Importance of the job at
hand, the teachers welfare is
only part of the problem which
has to do with what is happen
ing to our children as a result
of our unwillingness to pay
what It takes to attract and hold
top talent people in the teach
ing profession. This attitude on
our part has driven thousands
of the best people from this
voeation-has resulted further
in discouraging the best young
people from entering the pro-
fession-with the still further
result that we are filling the
ranks with mediocrity. There
in lies the tragedy. There is
no way to estimate the dire
consequences of such a situa-
ton. II will probably take a
generation to properly begin to
estimate the folly of our short

Y Cobb Critical Of Joe Cronin World Series Strategy
Today's Sport Parade

the big man said with something of the old nightmare in his face.
 Then he went on, back in the wrestling role which once thrilled carnival crowds in Europe before It's fighting days.
 And the guys who wrote of his bigger days watched intently. It wasn't real and they were glad. For the newspaper boys always liked the friendly, smiling man of whom the mobsters made a fool. What he was getting, he was keeping this time.
 Sympathize With Him
 Now Da Preem was the hero of the piece, and doing very well. A smaller man named Bobby Brlns was hitting him unfairly" and the righteous Camera was trying to play 1t on the level. The crowd shrieked, implomng him to throw the punch that won the heavy weight title, and finally he did. The crowd-adn Bruns-could see it coming from ten yards out. Bobby helped it along with backward flip over the ropes.
 Da Preem smiled, and so did the newspaper guys. They hadn't liked his fake faces of pain. It was too much like the night he stood help lessly before a dark destroyer named Louis.
 And as they filed out into the night after Primo's victory, one of them said:
 T hope he makes million dol- lars"
 That's how they feel about the Pagliacci of punch.

Bv OSCAR FRALEY

New York, Oct. 23-(UP)-They all were there once again, waiting expectantly for the Pagliacci Of punch.
 Only this time it was smaller, meaner, smokier and dirtier.
 And this time the man called Primo Camera wasn't wearing the leather mittens he wore so awk- wardly and inefficiently back in the old days.
 But he had drawn them there, to little grunt and groan palace just of Broadway which is known as St. Nicks. Not because there is anything peaceful or saintly about it but simply for want of name. But still, they were there.
 Time Good To Primo
 Heavyweight champion of the world. It is name to conjure with, title which gives a lilt to the imagination. And no matter who the man, they come back to see how the years have treated him and remember bygone days when groan and grimace were real.
 Time has been good to Da Preem. For 265-pound man of 39, the days have been far from unkind. The amiable, -hecked smile still is there and the corded, pom derouS muscles still move with a certain smoothness.
 The men who had chronicled his doings back in the halcyon days when he first came to this country just couldn't stay away. The big guy was like magnet, and they suffered silently through the phony dramatics of the wrestling prelimi- naries to get look at him.
 Downstairs, in mean little dressing room, the rings forgotten giant greeted with pathetic eager ness all those who stepped in to say hello. His gutteral, almost-unfn- telligible voice boomed happily as he recalled the night in 1883 when his secret poonch" knocked out Jack Sharkey. And his voice lost some of its eagerneSS when he re- called the evening a year later as he lost the biggest boxing bauble of them all to Maxie Baer.
 Brown Bomber Painful
 But the pain didn't come out un- til they mentioned Joe Louis.
 It was 1885 when the laundering fists of the Brown Bomber chopped him into tower of helpless terror. Primo never will forget that night, and it's moments of pain and hor- TOT.
 That Joe, he punch like hell"

Tennessee;s Bod Neyland Coach ofWeek

New Yok, Oct. 23-(UP)- The War Department busted him in rank from brigadier general to major but he figures he doesn't need any stars on his shoulders to win foot ball games.
 He has plenty Of them on his team.
 Doing business on the same old gridiron after four heroic years as a supply general in the China Bur- ma-India Theater, his team is as terrific as ever.
 He's the United Press Coach of the week, Maj. Bob Neyland of the violent Volunteers from Tennessee.
 In Better Class
 At this time a week ago he was saying that his team didn't belong in the same league with Alabama. Now, after the Vols 12 to o triumph over the crimson-faced Crimson Tide. a lot of folks think he was right. They're that much better.
 Winning that game by margin that was much more decisive than the score indicated was project Neyland first launched in Calcutta when he saw movies of the 1945 Ala bama-Duke Sugar Bowl game.
 When he saw Alabama's hurlin' Harry Gilmer complete eight straight passes he had the movies shown so often that the troops in that theater figured the game was the only one played back home dur ing the entire war.
 Finally he came to weighty con- clusion.
 Nobody can stop that Gilmer from passing, but we'll have to have our boys down there to horse-collar his receivers" he said.
 And that was exactly the way the Vols kept Alabama from scoring.
 Teaches Them Army Game
 Neyland, a cold, calculating coach who never tries to key his players for a game, simply teaches them the old Army game he learned at West Point as an All-American end in 1918. But he has few modern im- provements. His main technique is to make his boys just touch mean CT than the opposition, have them block and tackle just little harder.
 No one had given Tennessee much consideration this year until after the Alabama game, but now it seems certain that the team will land a New Years Day Bowl bid. The Vols toppled Georgia Tech, Duke, and Chattanooga before upsetting Ala bama and now are heavy favoriteS to win the Southeastern Conference title.
 What folks apparently overlooked was the fact that most of Neyland's boys were freshmen back on his last pre-war team in 1941. He kept track of them all during the war and herded them back and now he knows the weight of every one of them down to the last ounce. For in stance he confided that an All America tackle candidate really weighs only 236 pounds when the program lists him as 238.
 Gets Paid For Winners
 His one burning passion in life is turning out winners at Tennessee and he gets paid plenty for doing it. Moreover, enthusiastic alumni

Wrestling Inaugural Scheduled Tonight

There should be an ambulance in front of St. Joseph's Hall on John Street tonight for eight of the toughest wrestlers in the game will be featured on the initial profess sional card of the season arranged by Promoter George T. Dillon.
 Highlgflting the diversified pro- gram will be handsome Maurice La- Chapelle, champion of Canada, and Irish George Lenifan, Boston's Bad Man. It will be the best two out of three falls, time lnniit one hour, and the fur is certain to fly as there is no love lost between the F'renchman and Ke7yman.
 Lenil1an stands over six feet and weighs 215 pounds and is an extra ordinary snowman. He has pet hold which he calls the 'satting tac- kle', accomplished by combination of holding his clenched fists atop each other and swung in the order as a baseball player would swing his bat, and tackle, according to foot ball methods, t the same time. La chipelle, on the other hand, also is six feet and 215 pounds. His bag of illegal tricks is inexllaustable and he is never beaten until he has been dragged to his dressing room.

 Mickey Gavas of Greece, 230 pounds, and Fred Carone of Italy, 205 pounds, will show in the second bout of 30 minutes. The Italian is very popular with promoters and fans for his bouts are never slow pr dull He depends on speed and agil- ity to win and sometimes overstepS the bounds of decency. His famous hold is the Italian Whip sort of airplane spin. Carone is pupil of Renato Gardini, Italian champion,

Stonford-USC Big Gomeof West Coost

San Francisco, Oct. 23-(UP)- Two teams that have dominated Western football for the last 15 years clash Saturday in the Pacific Coast conferences major spectacle --and UCLA publicity to the contr- ary notwithstanding, there still is the possibility that Rose Bowl bid hinges on victory.
 The two teams are Stanford and University of Southern California and they renew a grid rivalry that dates back to 1905.
 During that time the Trojans have won 13, the Indians 10 and one was a tie. But in the last IS years either one or the other of these two teams has gone to the Rose Bowl II times. USC has made the trip seven times, Stanford fourl
 Both Beaten
 However, some of the luster has already been worn off this years encounter, because the Trojans have lost two games and the Indians one. They each have won one and lost one game in conference competition which certainly doesn't eliminate them from championship possibli- ties.
 Last year, for instance, the Tro- ians went to the Bowl after losing to San Diego Navy, 33-6; St. Mary's, 26-0; and Washington, 13-7. Then they were slaughtered in the Bowl, 34-14 by Alabama.
 Always known as a Slow-Start1ng cam, use this year dropped games Q Oregon State and Ohio State, be- fore starting to hit it's stride With 28-0 victory over Washington last week.
 A big, fast line featuring John Ferraro, the All-American tackle; and Jim Callahan, one of the finest defensive ends in the country, has played major part in the rev1v1h- cation of the Trojans.
 In Stanford, however, the men Of Troy will meet another fine line one that has been surprisingly suc- cessful in the art of making big holes for the finest fullback in the West. His name in Lloyd Merriman and he can do just about anything expected of a halfback, including skirt the ends, kick and pass. Ad- ded to this, he has the physical qualities of a fullback and can smash the line. He goes into the USC game with record of averaging better than five yards every time he carries the ball.
 The battle will attract 50,000 fans to Palo Alto-while the undefeated teams of the West play to somewhat smaller crowds.
 UCLA, unbeaten and united. gets what should be a breather against Santa Clara in the Southland; and undefeated, but tied, Oregon has hte same dose against Idaho. In other conference tilts, Wash- ington entertains California and Oregon State tackles Washington State.
 outside the conference, St. Mary's will play before 6o,000 in taking on one of Nevada's greatest teams; Brigham Young from the Rocky | Mountain area invades San Jose State: Arizona travels to the mid west to meet Marquette, and COP also invades that territory to tackle big Northwestern.
 Other games include: Cal. Poly | tech vs. Whitties; Fresno State vs San Diego State; Montana vs Utah State; Arizona State of Tempe vs: Hardin Simmons; Arizona State Of Flagstaff vs. West Colorado State.

Grurf and Grodners With Us Again!
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

With the ring shaking news that the Italian Blimp (370 pounds) and Germany's Fritz ziegfried; Boston's Bad Boy George Lenihan, that handsome French fel-lo. Maurice La Chapelle and another assorted half-dozen matmen of various sizes, shapes, weights and head-ontours would be with us for while to- night at St. Joseph's hall; I just had to take stroll down Memory Lane and review men such as little Joe ZonSin, the New Haven litter bug, minus the dance and his big, able and intelligent partner, Carl Pojello, one of the few name" wrestlers with courage enough to cross up the Curley mat trust in New York, when it was produc- ing new challengers at the rate of about one week.
 Pojello was supposed to lose to
 Dick Shikat in a Philly bout; so
 Shikat and James (StromberrieS)
 LondoS would be matched for title
 in N Y. Garden about two weeks
 later. Carl saw that he was just
 8 fall guy" who would never get
 8 title bout with Londos; so he
 tossed Shikat like spirited thor (oughbred would toss Mortimer
 Snerd. After that Pojello was
 through as Curley wrestler; but
 he went to Europe, where good
 wrestling is appreciated, and made
 mint of money for two years
 Remember Max the Panther, Vanka Zelesniak (who was clever enough to get three month bit in a Broadway play) the guy with the prayer rug and turban plus black whiskers whom Announcer Jack Freney, introduced as the "Hindoo Santa Claus?"

Williams No Great Hitter Says Peach

Royston, Ga, Oct. 23-(UP)-Ty Cobb, the Georgia peach, took a crack at modern day managers who tell their players when to hit the ball. Such strategy, he said, cost Boston the World Series.
 Suppose a hitter does wait a pitcher out successfully" Cobb said. What does he get? A base on balls. Whats that compared to a home run?"
 Cobb, who is going on 60 next month, said that he was pulling for Boston, "the champion of my own American league But Joe Cronin wouldn't play to the strength of his club-which was its hitting
 Rudy York hit just two big blows in the series, yet each one of them won a ball game. But most of the time hitters like York, Doerr and DiMaggio were waiting out the pitchers on instructions from the bench"
 Comparison
 Cobb recalled that in his day managers never interfered with the natural hitting tendencies Of his players and as a result they were dangerous on every pitch.
 q say go for the cripples," he said-"the 2 and nothing, the 2 and and tlp3 and pitches that the thrower has to put in there in order not to get too far behind the batter Look what happened when DiMag- gio hit three and one pitch in the last game-it landed against the fence for two runs and tied up the game"
 Cobb volunteered that Ted Will Jams, the Boston slugger could not be classed as a great hitter because he always pulls the ball and by shifting the defense to the right and pitching to him carefully a team like St. Louis can usually retire him.

Writer Plays Game Officials

The usually calm and conServa- tive Roy Mumpton of The Worces- ter Telegram wheeled out his typo graphical shootin' irons againS three of the four football game of- ficials of the Syracuse 21-12 sur. prise over Holy Cross last Satur- day. New Haven's lbie Booth, ref cree of the game, was the only one of the quartette of horn-blowers given a clean bill of health, in- solar as competence in the run ming of the game under the rules was concerned; "his job being par ticularly difficult because he re- ceived no cooperation from his associates"
 The trio referred to by MT Mumpton included: Fred J. Mur- ray of Georgetown, the umpire; Charley MacKay of Brown, the linesman and A. w. SamborsN of Harvard, the field judge.
 The unusual part of the cri- ticism by the Worcester writer of the officials is that, after elim- mating home town defense atti- tudes, by sating plainly that Holy Cross lost the game because ot its mistakes; he suggests movie re- view of the game by Asa Bush nell, eastern college football con- missioner; naming FIVE situa- tions in the game, where he claims the officials erred in their judg- men UNDER THE RULES as fol- loWs:-
 While attempting to offer no alibi for the Crusaders loss (their own mistakes were re- sponsible), the officiating was mighty lax and we suggest Asa Bushnell, the Eastern Intercolle- giate football commissioner, take a look at the movies of this game and see how some of his whistle-tooter are pretending to earn their money.
 We recommend he look at five plays particularly. These were:
 l. The calling of dead ball when Syracuse's Robinson, tackled by Cregar while still trying to pass, dropped the ball and John Fon- tana recovered for H. c. at midfield in the second quarter.
 2. The fragrant offside charge of Syracuse's right tackle on the third-quarter play in which De- Filippo was thrown for seVen- yard loss after H. c. had tied to- gether two first downs and marched to the Orange 35.
 3. The manner in which Watt bumped Dieckelman out of the way before intercepting DeFilippo's pass in the third quarter.
 4. The obvious clip which was applied to Dieckelman as he reached to tackle SlovenSki when that speedboy was just about to break loose on his 4z-yard punt return in the final period.
