FISHING INDUSTRY NEGOTIATIONS FAIL
Veterans Who Attempt 10 Homestead in Alaska Then
 Fail, May Gel No Govt. Aid

WASHINGTON, May 9.-tR- Rep Crawford tR-Mich) insisted that war veterans, if authorized to homestead in Alaska, must not expect financial aid from the gov ernment if the going is too rough.
 Yesterday he told a Public Lands subcommittee considering home steading legislation
 T shall oppose the government helping the veterans get back to the United States if they fail, and shall oppose the government fi- nancing their venture in any way Unless they are ready to burn their bridges behind them before they go they are no good as pioneers"
 Crawford's statement came after Ray H. Brannaman, of Colorado, Vice Senior Commander-in- Chief of Veterans of Foreign Wars, testi- fled he believed, after three weeks trip to the Territory, that "homesteadmg for veterans is prac- ticable"
 Brannaman argued that veterans should be settled in Alaska for national defense purposes. He add ed that i've must be prepared to stop an invasion tthrough Alaska) by air because that is the way it will come.

Gets Baptism of Fire Bui Supporters Claim Leg
 isIdti0n 10 Pass

WASHINGTON, May 9.-lR)- The administrations Greek-Turk ish aid program emerged unscath- ed today from it's baptism of fire on the House floor.
 Its supporters are weary but con- fident that they have the votes to ward off continuing attacks up- on the measure designed to bolster the two Mediterranean countries against Communistic pressures.
 Their confidence was due to be put to the test today on sev- eral major amendments Wheth- CT a vote on final passage would come before nightfall was in doubt.
 But behind the bill was one attempt to kill it outright-a move which went down to defeat by a standing vote of 127 to 37.
 Rejected, also, were two prelim- mary attempts to give the United Nations say on Southeastern Europe's problems.
 Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas (D-Calif) sought unsuccessfully to postpone any aid for Turkey for a year to give the U. N. chance to look into the situation.
 Rep. Javits tR-NY tried in vain to have Congress instruct President Truman to lay the Greek Turkish problem before the U. N. while carrying out the assistance contemplated in the bill
 The House similarly turned thumbs down on Mrs Douglas demand that it write in the mea- sure a specific prohibition against sending either Turkey or Greece atomic weapons or secrets. Op- ponents of that ban said existing law already prohibits any such &C., tion.
 The House was still arguing the merits of limiting the size of mili- tary missions to be sent to the two countries. Rep. Mundt (R- SD), proposed a maximum of 100; Rep. Judd CR-Minn), countered with proposed 200 ceiling.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-R)-
The National Collegiate Athletic
Bureau isn't prepared to say that
College football is using rabbit
ball, a development come su-
spected Of baseball last season.
Nothing like that. But no mat
ter whether they're kicking with
gas, the Bureau will shake fist
full of gridiron statistics in sup
port of it's conclusion that the
foot definitely has returned to
football, with the past season
boasting the flossiest punting
since 1899.
AS for individuals, Leslie
"Footsie" Palmer of North Caro-
lima State set a collegiate all
time mark with a 1873 yard aver
age for his IS spirals, greatest
number ever punted by a season
leader.
And so for the teams, IL clubs
boasted an average of better than
40 yards per boot, something
that hasn't happened in such pro-
fusion since 1899. There, were
only three last year, none in
1943 and 1945 and only two in
1914.
Duke captured the punting
crown with its 41.9 yard aver
age, while the defending cham
pion, Texas Mines, failed to hit
the top II. Palmer's North Caro-
lima Staters were second. Eight
of the first eleven teams hailed
from the Southern tier of states.
Lehigh (3rd) and Villanova (7th)
represented the East and Oregon
(11th) the Far West.
Palmer's record performance
surpassed the old standard set in
1899 by Dick MCGOWAN OF Au-
burn-43.0. He got his toehold
over Lehigh's gridder-wrestler
Forrest Bast by just 3.6 inches
per punt difference, Bast also
passing McGowen's old mark
with his 1872 average as against
Palmer's 43.3.
Littlest man with the busiest
foot in collegiate football was
| 15O-pound Carl Knox of Texas
Christian, who rooted "a punts,
all but five of the total of SO
which made the Horned Frogs the
nations most prolific punting
aggregation.
The diminutive Knox's average
was just diminutive shade un-
der 40 yards flat, or 39.988o95
before the bureau ran out OF
digits on its machines.
Previous to Palmer, the great
est number of punts by a sea-
son leader was 60, by Bob Water
