 Rose Bowl
(By Joe Reichler)


 today centered around Illinois all most incredible feat of knocking off a hitherto unbeaten UCLA eleven 45-14 before 92,0O0 stunned onlookers at Pasadena's Rose Bowl.
 It was by far the largest single game turnout of Bowl battles-the largest number ever-which treated a total turnout of 440,000 fans to 77 touchdown runs and passes.
 The victorious Georgia, Rice, Georgia Tech. Oklahoma, Hawaii and Delaware teams all contributed to this New Years display of gridiron fireworks, but the game that will be remembered longer than any Of the others is the 33rd edition of the Tournament of Roses.
 Inaugurating the Big Nine-Pa- cific Conference five-year plan, the underdog Illini scored in every period except the third to register as many points against the be- wildered Bruins as the Californians had suffered from their last seven opponents combined.
 Coach Ray Eliot's Little Boys relied up 245 yards via land and air with Buddy Young, speedy Negro star. scoring two touchdowns, and Julie Rykovich, Paul Patter- son, Perry Moss, Russ Steger and Stan Green tallying the others.
 Big Thrill
 The big thrill. however, as pro- vided by UCLA'S l43-pound tail- back. Al Hoisch, who raced kick off back 103 yards Tor touch down, the longest and only one from a kickoff in Rose Bowl com petition.
 A capacity crowd of 73,000, which went to watch scoring duel be- tween Georgias all-America Char ley Trippi and North Carolina s freshman Charlie Justice saw the undefeated Bulldogs come from be- hind to hand the Tarheels POLO facing in the Sugar Bowl Georgia scored all it's points in the second half.
 No Grid Duel
 The duel between Trippi and Justice never materialized. since Trippi gained but 54 yards in IA rushes and Justice only 3l in IF attempts. Trippi completed two passes in seven attempts, netting TO yards. One of his losses brought a score, but another was intercept ed to set up Carolinas score Just ice threw only one pass, complet- ing it behind the line for a five yard loss
 An 83-yard drive, climaxed by halfback Carl Russ's 25-yard run and lateral to Hugh Keeney, who ran another 25-yards for a touch down, and safety, all in the first period enabled Rice to blank a rugged Tennessee team so before 38.000 Orange Bowl spectators at Miami
 Drive Blocked
 Arkansas, outgained 271 yards to 54, baked three drives inside it's own 10-yard line to gain a score less tie with power laden Louisiana State in the 11th Annual Cotton Bowl game at Dallas before 38,000 fans. The Razorbacks once halted the Tigers on the two-yard line, another time they threw Louisiana hack from the four and still an- other time they wriggled out after being pushed back to the eight.
 With fullback Eddie Davis SCOT ing three touchdowns and Bill Wal lace one, Oklahoma overwhelmed North Carolina State 34-l3 before l7,000 in the Second Annual Cater Bowl game at Jacksonville, Fla.
 Setting up four touchdowns on pass intereeptions and another on an opponents tumble, Georgia Tech defeated a scrappy St. Mary's elev- en 41-l9 before 23,O00 in the Third Annual Oil Bowl at Houston, Tex.

- FORT WORTH, Tex, ,(P)-Im- mediate creation of radar coast guard patrol of the air." to guard the approaches to North America was advocated last night in an in- terview by General George c. Kenney, commanding general of the strategic air command, "as the only sensible thing to do in an un- certain and disturbed world"
 The plain-spoken boss of Amer ica's worldranging B-29's scoffed at "earthbound thinking which carefully inspects all ocean going ships that reach our country, yet leaves unguarded 10000 possible landing fields where a potential enemy might land unchallenged an aircraft carrying atomic mis- siles and an escort refueling ship"
 'We need radar patrol planes flying from Goose Bay, Labrador, to Alaska, and southward down both coasts to the Panama Canal" Kenney insisted.

Seattle Will Study Carefully Change In Shipping Law

WASHINGTON, (P) Leg;sla- tion to permit Canadian vessels to operate in the Alaskan trade is planned by the Senate public lands committee, Senator Magnu- son D.-Wash ," said today, but is headed for a careful study by the commerce committee.
 "The proposed change" he said, probably would mean diversion of much of Alaskan trade from American ships to Canadian bot toms"
 Magnuson said the commerce subcommittee on merchant ma rine of which he is a member, will hold thorough hearings on any such proposal before it acts.
 He said he conferred today with Jack Early and Ed Savage, com missioners of the Port of Seattle, who expressed that such change in shipping laws would take much business away from Seattle.
 Under existing laws Canadian ships can transport cargo origin ating in the United States from a Canadian port on the United States west coast, but cannot carry it to an Alaskan port.

Colonel Harry N. Burkhalter, IT,. of Boise, Idaho, arrived at Nome Air Base on November 4th to replace Colonel Mallory who has been reassigned to duty at Anchorage
 Colonel Burkhalter, a graduate of West Point, began his military career in the army in 1928 as a private in the coast artillery.

 During the war, the colonel served one year in China with the l4th air force, which at the time, was in support of the ground forces in that theatre. In l945, the colonel returned to the United States and assumed command of Van NuyS air base in California.

,l946 the federal government got

$2,526, 100000, of 6 per cent of all revenue. The states got $466, ,000,- 900, or about 10 per cent from this source.
 One suggestion is that the states quit this field under arrangement that the federal government, which collects its tax from the dis tilleries and warehouses, increase it's levy and distribute the extra revenue among the states.
 4. Amusement taxes-The fed eral government got $4l5,OOO,OOO from taxes on admissions in fiscal 1946. The states got $12,00O, ,00O, not counting collections from ad- missions under general sales taxes.
 Other Fields
 5. State sales taxes and federal manufacturers and retailers ex- cises-27 states now impose sales taxes duplicating specific federal eXciSes on communications, trans portation, luxury and other goods and services. But duplication here is "of secondary importance"
 G.. Inheritance, estate and gift taxes-Less than two per cent (S677 ,000,O00 of federal and less than three per cent $l43,000,000) of state collections come from this source. There's a problem of over tapping among the states as well as between the states and the fed eral government.

Administration To Finally Submit Its Anti-InflatiOn Plan

WASfflNI loIN, lHD - An du- miniStration move to submit it's own bills on the most controver- sial parts of President Truman's anti-inflation program and an inn pending CIO wage boost drive touched off a new cost of living battle in Congress today.
 Although Senator Taft R.-Ohio) withheld comment until he has had a chance to study the legisla- ton involved, other Republicans made it plain that two promised measures covering the price-wage, rationing and allocation field will face prompt opposition.
 At the same time, the CIO an- nouncement that its unions will seek a "third round" of pay in- creases in negotiations beginning early next year was described as "expected' by some Republicans, but they said this development will complicate Congressional con sideration of cost of living propos- als. Some Democrats on the other hand took the view that it might speed action on Capitol Hill.
 However, CIO president Philip Murray said in announcing the new campaign late yesterday that he and his lieutenants look for nc action by Congress during the spe- cial session to keep prices down
 Meeting neWsmen after a day. long session with his nine vice presidents, the white haired union leader declared that the CIO "is determined to tighten the unbear- able economic burden which has been imposed upon the people" ITO this end," the formal state ment continued, "the CIO and its affiliated union shall proceed through the process of collective bargaining to obtain substantial wage increases for the American workers to restore their loss in real incomes suffered through in- flation.
 And almost simultaneously with ; Murray's announcement, respon- sible administration officials dis closed privately that two bills have been drafted to:
 1. Provide for price-wage con- trolS as well as authority to ration scarce cost of living items and critical materials, if voluntary price and distribution agreements cannot be obtained
 2. Extend for two years the sec- ond decontrol act of 1947 and broaden it to include controls and allocation powers over steel and iron, grains and transportation fa- cilities.
