PRIZE FIGHT DECISION I5 NOT CHANGED

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.--R-Eddie Egan, chairman of the New York Athletic Commission, refused to in- terfere today with the decision that gave Joe Louis, heavyweight cham pion, the verdict over Jersey Joe Walcott Friday night.
 Walcott and his manager, Joe Webster, appeared before Eagan and Commissioner c. B. Powell to- day to protest the scoring of Judge Frank Forbes.
 Forbes awarded the fight to Louis on the basis of rounds won, marking up eight for the cham pion. six for Walcott and one even. On point basis. however. he nam ed Walcott the winner, l2 to g. On the back of the card he named Louis the winner.
 Eagan said that the Commission did not make a practice of review ing decisions of it's officials, but granted hearing to Walcott and Webster because they were resi- dents of another state and might not have full knowledge of the New York rules.
 Walcott's home is in Camden, N. J. Webster insisted that his state ment in which he pointed out that neither he nor the challenger ques- toned Forbes integrity be read into the record.
 Never in the history of boxing have so many protests to a decision teen made. They came from all parts of the country, and practical ly all have roasted the decision as the greatest fake" ever made. Sports writers in general deride tEe decision.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
by DnEW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - House Repub- licans locked the doors, turned off all telephones and really "let go at their caucus on foreign aid to Europe. One reason for the caucus was to let belligerent party mem- bers blow off steam to their own colleagues rather than before the world on the floor of the House The meeting accomplished this end
 One highlight of the long secret session was a lecture by Rep George Bender of Ohio on COP aggressiveness.
 thanked Arthur Vandenberg for his help in getting the $597 900, ,00O aid bill through the Senate" said the Ohioan. That's very nice but where does it leave Republi- cans? What is your program? think it's time we got one without always blindly following the White House and State Department on foreign affairs
 Rep. August Andresen of Red Wing, Minn., was insistent that steps be taken to prevent profit eering in the distribution of relief goods. We should make sure that it goes to the right people in dis tressed nations, and is given to them, not sold, he asserted.

EISENHOWER BIG PROBLEM
 IN POLITICS
Five Star General May Step Out of Uniform Next
 Month and Then What!
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. Rl--
 Fresh indications that Gen. Dwight
 D. Eisenhower may step out of uni
 form in January coincided today
 with reports of increased activity in
 his behalf as possible Republi- can Presidential candidate.
 Although the Army Chief of Staff has been vague about his quitting time, there is evidence that the
 previous schedule for him to take over the Presidency of Columbia University April has been speeded up by President Trumans action in naming Gen. Omar Bradley as his successor.
 Bradley, whose transfer from head
 of the Veterans Administration back
 to the Army was effective last Mon day, will be available for his new assignment shortly after January l. While Eisenhower may remain for time to advise his successor friends say that any extended stay is likely to become embarrassing for both men
 Although the five-star general has d g ed questions about his availability for the nomination, poli- ticians have begun to count him as major factor in the race which already has these three publicly an- ncunced entrants: Senator Robt. A. Taft of Ohio, former Gov Harold E Stassen of Minnesota and Gov. Earl 1 Warren of California.
 Previously talk about Eisenhower i, as a potential candidate has been i; described as mostly just talk. But an Eastern Republican Sen- ator, who declined use of his name told a reporter the back-stage hunt for Eisenhower delegates is actually underway. As evidence of this, he said Republican organization iead- CTS in his State have been sounded out by persons who said they rep resent the Eisenhower movement, if not the general himself.
 Some who attended an informal
 meeting of Pennsylvanian Republi-
 can leaders here last week at which
 Eisenhower was present said they came away with the notion that the
 general was talking a whole lot like Ia candidate"

OH. PLAYED BIG ROLE IN
 SHIP WRECK
Three Survivors of Ciarks- dale Victory Talk when
 Reaching Seattle

SEATTLE, Dec. 8-tR-Oil from the broken army transport, Clarks- dale Victory played the role of both villain and hero in the mo- ments immediately following the vessels grounding and breaking up on storm-battered Hippa Island two weeks ago, three of disasters four survivors disclosed here upon their arrival from Ketchikan by plane.
 The three men, brought here for a Coast Guard investigation into the tragedy that took the lives of 49 shipmates, were 2nd Officer Henry H. Wolfe, 45, Oakland, Calf; 3rd Officer William M Rasmussen, 21, Modesto, Calf, and seaman Carlos Sanabgia, 23, Le Ceiba, Honduras.
 All were taken immediately by ambulance to the Seattle Marine Hospital to continue their recuper- ation. Two still are on crutches.
 The fourth survivor, 3rd Officer Clair E. Driscoll, 32, Los Angeles, is expected to be able to make the trip in two weeks. He still is crip- pied with immersion foot" and was left behind in a Ketchikan Hospital.
 Rasmussen, in recounting the 20 to 90 minutes of terror spent aboard the doomed ship, said it was but seconds after the ground ing that everything was coated with oil The men could neither cling to the rail nor stand amid ships.
 But when the men finally were knocked from their tentative saf- ety into the sea by towering combers, he said, is was this same oil that provied protective coating against the icy waters Of the north British Columbia coast.
 Pending recovery of survivors, no date for the hearing has been set.

Juneau Biologist Makes Pointed Complaint About
 Inroads oIa Alaska Game

"The waterfowl that 100000 Americans buy Federal licenses tt hunt are being taken by these pIedators night and day"
 The production of waterfowl is simple-send us more ducks ano geese back to our nesting grounds and give us money to protect them from predators and illegal hunt ing.
 Wild Life Area Slips
 T cannot see our lawmakers letting the greatest wild life area of the United States slip because of the little added money involv- ed to administer it,
 Gillham said Alaska has only eight men for game law enforce ment over 59o000 square miles, an area one-fifth as large as the United States. The newest patrol vehicle is six years old, and pa trol boats are 12 to IA years old
 We have planes and wonderful bush pilots. but little money to keep them in the air." wrote Gill; ham.
 Our appropriations for a year would be exhausted in one months time were we to assign these craft to normal patrol duty.
 Thank God I am not dependent upon this job for a living. op- crate at a loss, as does most o1 our forces as far as our income is concerned.
 We cannot compete on our flxed salaries with S600-a- month bar tenders, longshoremen who work when they please, and with an economic Territorial expansion that looks like the gold rush days

WASHINGTON, Dec 8.-tR- Angry complaints of a government Biologist in Alaska that wildlift resources of the Territory are be- ing squandered are incorporated in- to records of an Interior Depart ment conservation conference.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service biologist, Charles Gillham of Ju- neau, veteran of Territorial ser vice, said mountain sheep-partic- ularly the prized Dall variety-and other game are disappearing due chiefly to inadequate funds for law enforcement and predatory animal control.
 Gillham resigned in 1943 and moved to Illinois. He returned to the Alaska post this fall. His letter, read at the conference, said in part.
 T came back to Alaska. back to rain and 80 degrees below tenn perature,, 30 cents a quart milk for my kids, and $1 a pound ham burger. I wish I had stayed out side
 Shocked At Outlook
 T was shocked at the change in the wildlife picture since I left. When I found our Dall sheep down to possibly 20 percent of their former abundance in the Kenai district, I could hardly believe it.
 When I learned that spawning streams are netted in open viola tion of the law, and the future tremendous supply of Alaska fish threatened that are badly needed by hungry world, it didn't make sense.
 Honestly, it makes me sick. Could bury my head in the sands, as apparently do the administra- tors of the men in power outside, I also could enjoy the American way of life-see our resources and let the devil catch the hindmost.'
 Gillham said possibly 50O0o or 75,0C0 Dall sheep are making then last stand in the Endicott ana Brooks ranges, where there is no warden whatever.
 Caribou Decrease
 Caribou, often spoken of as the staff of life in Alaska, are on their way out" he added.
 On the Richardson Highway out of Fairbanks, less than 50 percent of them remain-the large, beau tiful Osborne caribou.
 "On the Alaska peninsula, the fine Grant caribou are reduced in number, due in most part to the influx of army personnel, their desire to hunt, and their presence blocking some of the migratory routes"
 Mocse, Maybe, Increase
 Moose, Gillham said, possibly are on the increase, the one bright spot" in Alaska. With moose hunting on the peninsula closed below Iliamna Lake, the animals have spread 250 miles westward. Forest fires and burnings along the Alaska Railroad have increased the pasturage for moose" Gillham added.

Thursday: Cleaning house aftel
last weeks breeze has been HARD
on the morale but good for the
figure. Have you been caught
without a curtain stretcher? II
SO you might try putting washed
curtains back on the rods while
they're still damp and running
another rod thru the hem for a
weight. This isn't as good as a
stretcher, but it will work. It NAV
lengthen your curtains slightly.
Friday: After you finish washing
your windows, don't forget to
spray your window stills, light fix
lures and other spots where flies
light, with DOT in a per cent So
luton of stainless deodorized ker-
osene. Check the label for the
words twill not STAIN" Spraying
or painting screens also helps and
since DOT in kerosene is soluable
IN water, rain will not affect the
screens much. One good spraying
month should do the job but re-
member to spray surfaces not just
the air.
Saturday: The Secretary of Ag-
rlculture gave women a pat on the
back for saving and turning in
waste fats. Here's what he says
about you and you and you: Amer
lean housewives have saved and
turned in over 600 million pounds
OF used fat - an average of 20
pounds. per family in the u. S.
Let's keep up the good work in
the scoop, scrap, and skim club"
It's still needed.
Sunday: Peaches for desert
this time was scoop of ice cream
In the half, topped with raspberry
syrup or any other berry mix, and
If you want to be ultra, a sprinkle
of chopped nuts. Peach Melba we
call it. Folks will just say "Good!"
Monday: Speaking of peaches, a
fruit salad fits anywhere in a
meal as a starter, with the main
course or as dessert. To say
nothing of breakfast as a taste
tingler or atop of bowl of cereal.
Can't be beaten. -.
Tuesday: And you can do most
of these same things with fresh
cantaloupe-in salad, as a break
fast starter, with ice cream or ber-
ries, and so on and on You can
even freeze cantaloupe as velva
fruit for the winter. Just PURGE
by pressing fresh fruit through a
fine colander, mix 6 cups PURGE
with 11h to 2 cups sugar and stir
until dissolved. Seal in glass Jars
or tin, leaving ! inch head space
for swelling. Surprisingly good.
The idea came from Extension
Bulletin "Manikg Velva Fruit at

Wednesday,: That old coffee pot
comes in handy to keep your par
atm in for jelly and jams. Just
set aside after each using.
Afterthought: Imagination is
