Last night at the Centra Y M.C.A., the Artisans Hi-Y downeo the Lancers 15-O in a Hi-Y Touch Football game.
 Bowling passed to Castonguay fol the first touchdown in the first quar- ter. Stovekin tagged Walsh behind his own goal line for a safety in the third quarter. The final touchdown came in the fourth quarter when Bowling ran for a touchdown and passed to Downey for the extra point. It was a very hard fought game in spite of the 15-0 score with both teams playing very good touch football,

 Excluding bowl game defeats to Boston College in the Sugar Bowl in 1941 and to Southern California in the Rose Bowl in 194O, the Vols have won 36 straight games under his coaching.
 His decision to make football coaching lifetime career deprived the world of one of the greatest en- gineers ever turned out by Army. The War Department once took him away from Tennessee to direct the Panama Canal base but Tennessee hired him back. He's likely to stay this time for long, long while.

BIuke-Johnson Bowling Notes

Notes

Notes
 The Rollers moved into sole pos session of first place in our scrambled pennant chase, thereby becoming the primary target for the rest of the clubs to shoot at and as proof that they usually get their man, you can ask Boo-hoo West for details. The Inspectors scored a direct hit on the Blankers who had been leading the league for the past five weeks and before they stopped descending they found themselves wound up in a third place tie with 'The Lost Week. End" and his stout-hearted men. West threatens to protest the whole proceedings but he'll need a Philly lawyer before he can wrestle those victories away from that Plymouth raised Yankee.
 Speaking of the Blankers- -Tnspec- tors match, Skilton received some fine bowling from Freddie Lawton and Jack Hannon to cop the open ing game and Virginia Sheperd and Lawton again in the second con- test. Gorgeous George took per- sonal charge of the nightcap with 8 nice 131 score to wind up with a $50 total and to keep his average soaring.
 Tony Garafano's role as hero of the Rollers victories is such an or dinary feat that we are going to give the honors this week to Gold en-Boy Guarini. The reason Garafano's scores are more or less expected while Joe is counted on for a 90 or so average. His margin over his opponent in the final two games was the exact margin the Rollers won by, so orchids to you, Joey boy. The less said about Man. hello this week, the better, but he's secured new broom for this week so we are expecting better things from Vic.
 The surging Threaders copped a pair from the Packers and had Paulie Burgio been on the scene, a clean sweep might have been the order of the evening for Nicky Colangelo's bunch. Babe Carosella tossed his axe away (that was you choppin' that maple, wasn't it, Nick) long enough to give the Pack CTS the nightcap after the two teams had ended in a tie necessi- tating the years first roll-off. Bobby-sox Tripp and Colangelo did all right for the winners.
 Machinists finally got tired of losing after 12 straight beatings, and kept the Automatics from slip ping into a first place tie by win ming the last game with 523 total.
 Bill Germans Headers won the first game from the Clerks but couldn't stand prosperity or some thing, anyway they dropped the remaining pair to stay deadlocked with the Voice and Co.,, for the cellar.
 Johnny DiLeo, president of the Recreation Society, made his debut with the Clerks, replacing Freddie Carosella, who is ailing. The team sure carries lot more weight now.

The Wage-Price Bulge

drop Is going to be contested, and We
may we'll see the next infiationary drive
take place in Congress
But now that the bulge has been
created by order Of the administration.
and now that prices are likely to be
raised all along the line in manufac-
tured goods, we may expect the Pres
ident to take counter measures to allay
public fears Of imitation. He will try
to show the public how imitation can
be controlled For he knows that real
imitation Is caused not by economic
facts or Government orders, but by what
the public thinks of those facts and
orders. In short, the cause of imitation
is psychological, more than economic.
*s*
One bit of reinsurance given is the
White House announcement that the
wage price controversy Is settled for "at
least year." This means that the
contracts signed and to be signed are
for at least year. Some of the people
who have signed on the side of manage
ment are very skeptical. They have seen
corAracts broken before. In the old
days, labor often called for increases at
intervals Of less than a year. United
States Steel announced wSge increases
more than once in 1919.
The issues now seemingly resolved may
rise again in 1946 And at that time
we shall realize that present rises are
not the real danger. The real danger
will be in the next wave of demands
and strikes.

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

The Canadian governments decision
to prosecute those officials who have COL
laborated with the Russian secret serv-
ices, regardless Of their rank and posi-
ton, is not expected to be followed by
the United States Government.
According to confidential reports from
Canada, Ivor Gossenko, attache OF the
Soviet Embassy, included the names Of
a number Of American officials as having
"collaborated" in the gigantic spy ring
established in the two countries by the
Russian military and political intelli-
gence departments.
The Canadian and American security
services have worked in the closest CO.
operation throughout the war and are
continuing to do so now.
When the Russian attache sur
rendered, the Canadians contacted the
American intelligence departments Es-
pecially selected agents of the FBI and
the War and Navy Departments intelli-
gence branches went across the border
and returned with complete files on a
number of Americans in official posi-
tionS who had worked for the Soviet
agents.
According to usually reliable sources,
ago to the State Department, which has
the last word when questions concerning
the political espionage of foreign powers
are involved.
Our foreign policy trainers feel that
the arrest and prosecution of American
officials for their participation in the
espionage plot would damage the rela-
tions between this country and Russia
Should these offlcials-under severe
ss-examination-talk about how long
they have been assisting the Russian in
teligence agents and how some of the
more dangerous and obnoxious agents
were granted immunity scandal un-
paralleled in the history Of this country
might come to the surface. This might
bring not only local but also interna-
tional repercussions and, in the opinion
Of some of our high off1cials, might
upset the international applicant"
Those responsible for Americas secur-
ity have been familiar with the Russian
espionage system for long time. 1t COW
cred not only the atomic formula but
many other phases of our military and
industrial secrets.
The Russians have operated with i'm
punity in this country. In order to gain
greater security, Premier Stain in
sisted at Teheran in 1913 that the
American Government grant Russia the
right to have five-band radio trans
mitting station in Washington.
This was against the laws in Amer
icas statute books, which provide that
only American citizens are entitled to
have radio stations in our territories

empire. The fact that the British,
under the Russian plan, might be
sole trustees of adjoining Cyrenaica
does not lessen this fear, and so
unless the present impasse is to
continue indefinitely some reassur-
ing compromise will have to be
found.
Perhaps the American plan, or a
variation Of 1t, will yet be agreed
upon, or possibly the British pro-
posal to defer final action will be
accepted, though that would leave
the problem exactly where it is now.
In any case, however, unless the four
powers meanwhile reach an under
standing one way or the other on
this thorny question, there seems
scant likelihood that the Italian
peace treaty will be ready for sub

Some pretty sound people are guessing
that the strike situation will get worse,
despite the settlements Of the past week.
It is pointed out that a very consider
able part of the economy Of the country
is outside the scope of the Presidents
sterilization order, but that it, too, will
be affected by the general rush for
higher returns for work done.
Take the public utility field, as an
example. Here, price ceilings are I'M
posed by regulatory bodies, mostly State
commissions These are permanent
OPAs. They operate slowly and they
follow no national pattern, for each
largely makes its own law. Since ours
Is a Federal system, national economic
planning-and that is what Mr.. Tru-
mans order is-runs smack into many
fixed legal agencies.
Public utility strikes are likely to be, in
effect strikes against Government agen-
cies, Just as the steel strike was really
against the OPA. Companies will be
willing to pay more wages, II they can
pass along the cost to consumers. But
State and, In many cases, local govern
ments will bar the way. And such strikes
are VITAL They paralyze cities and stop
whole groups Of industries.

Mr.. Truman calls his plan not break
in the price line, but a bulge. However.
if you get enough bulges, the line will
either break or straighten out in new

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

There was nothing in the Stain
speech which was not in more veiled
form in the Molotov speech Of November
7. There was nothing in either that had
not been made abundantly plain by
Russian and international Communist
policy in actual practice. since the end
OF the European war. Some people-and
they are even among our own officials
have to have their noses rubbed into
reality before they can see it, and then
they are capable of pretending it is not
there.
These people. and among them must
be included NOW former Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, jr., are political Coueists,
who think that by infinitely repeating
I'VE must have an efficient working
relation with Russia" they will bring
that consummation to pass. An efficient
working relation" is never possible be-
tween nations or individuals except
through the mutual and sincere accept
ance of common ground Of principles.
We could have had an eficient work
ing relation with Russia on the basis,
for instance, of the Atlantic Charter,
prohibiting territorial or other aggran-
dizement. It is not the difference in
theology which causes the present ten
sion. 1t Is the expansion of the Soviet
state, using that theology as an inter-
national power instrument and employ
ing fifth column methods not only in
neighboring states, but within the states
of Russia's allies anxious for that "effi-
cient working relationship"
We have got to be clear about the
source Of the tension. Before the Amer
lean civil war, for instance. there was a
conflict of ideology between North and
South. But war came not because the
difference of theology and interest exist
ed. but because one side (the SOUTH

The matter was confidentially

In the meantime, member Of the
House, Representative Dondero, wrote
directly to the War Department. The
reply from John j. McCloy, who was
then Assistant Secretary of War, con-
firmed the existence of the Russian
transmitting station in the Pentagon
and explained that this was a war
measure to facilitate communications
between the many Russian missions in

servers in the War Department that in
view Of other facilities such as COM
mercial radio and cable services the
large number of words sent over the
Pentagon station might have contained
more than the ordinary diplomatic and
commercial matters dealing with lease
lend supplies. 1t was remarked at the
time the Russian station was regarded
as top secret as far as the people of
this country were concerned, that SINH
lar privileges had not been granted
any other Allied power, including Great
Britain.
All these actions of our policy franz
ers were prompted by their intense de-
side to be as cooperative as possible
with the Russians and to avoid suspi-
cion by the Kremlin that we might be
incorrect allies"
Although it was we'll known in high
quarters here that some officials were
the tools of the Russian intelligence
and vital information was leaking out
to its agents, the State and War De-
partments preferred to take a chance
rather than offend Moscow.
The shooting war is now over. The
Canadians, who gave the most serious
consideration to the question, decided
that it would serve no good purpose to
continue to conceal the activities of
the Russians. The State Department
is said to have taken an opposite view
and intends to keep as a top secret the
names and activities of officials who
have been connected with the Russian
spies.

Striking electrical workers in
New Jersey are abundantly DEM
onstrating the need of Federal in
tervention to deal adequately with
lawless picketing conducted in de-
fiance Of State courts.
A condition that is little better
than mob rule prevails at the
Bloomfield plant of the Westing-
house Electric Corporation, where
the Mayor of the town has openly
allied himself with the CIO strikers,
and at the Kearny plant of the
Western Electric Company, where
members of an independent union
are defying both their local officers
and the local courts.
In these communities, as in many
other places, the strikers are en-
ploying mass picket lines to block
ade the struck plants and to halt
traffic on the public highways and
railroads. BY sheer weight of num-
bers, plus the use Of force where
necessary, they have closed the
plants to nonstrikers who want to
go to their jobs, and the injunctions
which the local courts have issued
to protect the rights Of those who
want to enter the plants are openly
ignored.
This course Of conduct clearly
demonstrates the unwillingness or
inability of local authorities to curb
lawless union conduct. Neverthe-
less, whenever there is any proposal
for congressional action to authorize
Federal intervention, the national
labor spokesmen are quick to insist
that matters Of this kind should be
left to local law enforcement agen-
cies. And spokesman for the
administration, although articulate
enough in denouncing improper or
unlawful conduct by industry main
tain a discreet silence with respect
to these union practices. Presum-
ably the remedy, If there is to be a
remedy, will not come until public
opinion forces action by Congress
and the administration, even at the
risk Of political retaliation by those
who oppose any restraint on even
the most fragrant union activity.
