Asked if he might be planning to get over sneak punch, Arturo protested, mo, no.

The 64-dollar question today is not who is going to be the next football coach at the University of Califcrnit but who is going to be asked to fill the vacancy. H. O. (Fritz) Crisler. head man at the University of Michigan, hasn't been ruled out entirely despite an an- nomcement that he did not apply and UC did not make an offer. Brutus Hamilton, whose job it is to find a coach, said that if an offer were made to Crisler-and there is a possibility of such action-it would be made through the proper channels at Michigan.

 ROUNDUP
By JACK HAND For Hugh Fullerton, Jr.

NEW YORK, Feb. G. Babe Ruth, the man who saved baseball in the dark days after the Black Sox scan dal, celebrates" his 52nd birthday today in the quiet of a downtown hospital room. His lifetime ambi- tion of managing a Big League team probably never will be realiz- ed. Although the Bambino remains very sick man, despite encourag- ing reports from his bedside, base ball should reserve a place for him in it's promotional department. No ether individual could do more to combat juvenile delinquency by at tracting the youth of America to the playing fields.

that British Warships were follow

immigrants from the former Amer
lean ship President Warfield were
sent back to France.
The Haganan broadcast coincid-
ed with reports that two illegal
immigrant ships were approaching
Palestine.
Another repor. said that British
troops uncovered a large cache of
arms in Tel Aviv during the day,
but details were lacking.
Earlier today. five armed ban
dts, believed to be members Of
Jewish underground, robbed the
Jerusalem Diamond Exchange of
$40, 900 in gems and escaped with
out a fight.
The robbery was carried out
amid a new wave Of underground
attacks. One soldier was killed
and IA. others injured in seven in
cidents within the past "a hours,

Russians Sweat Under Sun
To Harvest Bic Wheat Crop

MOSCOW. July 24-WD-Millions
of Russians, actors in a real life
drama of world importance,
sweated today under a burning
summer sun, trying to bring in
a record grain harvest after years
of war and peacetime draught.
Success NEAR relief from years
Of anxiety over food, the end OF
the bread ration system and the
forging of a potent weapon in
Russia's international relations.
A big surplus will make Russia
again one of the great world grain
export countries, and. supplies will
be available if all goes well for
the eastern European countries
which, at Russia's behest, are boy
cotting the Marshall recovery plan.
1t is not too much to say that
the attention of the entire Soviet
union is centered on the task of
harvesting, milling and transport
ing grain. Special grain trains
are speeding past passenger ex-
presses along the nations rail
roads. Temporary roads are being
run through big collective farms
to facilitate movement. Combines,
threshers and other harvesting
machines are working throughout
the night by searchlight. In Siberia
at least entire villages are being
modified to work in the fields.

the last full weeks operations

both those weeks, however, the

1913 per cent more than for the
same period a year ago.
Union sources withheld formal
comment until operations settle

a New York health officer SAID
O'Toole is Unnecessarily concern

O'Toole told the house that lab
oratory tests have shown that the
machines, which usually are used
by a number of families, are a
potential source of a deadly cpl
demic."
He said that bacteria counts run
from $40 to ove 500, 900 per cubic
centimeter.. In contrast, he said,
a regular commercial laundry has
a bacteria count of from 400 to
1890 per cubic centimeter.
The germs, said O'Toole, may
be those of the common cold'
gonorrhea, syphilis, pneumonia
smallpox, diptheria and many
other dreaded and violent dis
cases."
In New York, DR.. Samuel Frant,
acting health commissioner, said

The Telecoin Corporation, dis

had no comment concerning
O'Toole's remarks.
O'Toole suggested the use Of live

praise for those who do well, lash
ing criticism of those. who lag,

The news dispatches report al
most undreamed of success from

Even Individual farmers are
criticised in such newspapers as
Pravda, the communist party or
gan, for shortcomings.
Today Pravda said that at Kiev,
capital of the Ukraine breadbas-
ket, heads of regional communist
party committees reported good
crops but added that grain was
rpening so fast that farmers found
it difficult to harvest quickly
enough.
lone of the main reasons why
the harvest lags is that party and
