0'DonneI| Libel Case
Review sRefused

The Supreme Court today denied
the Philadelphia Record Co. a re-
view of libel suit in which John
O'Donnell. Washington columnist,
won an $1,000 judgment.
The company. which formerly
published the Philadelphia Record,
appealed from decision by the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The
State court affirmed findings by
two trial courts that the newspaper
had libeled the columnist.
The suit developed from publica-
ton of an editorial based on story
by Mr.. O'Donnell asserting that
President Roosevelt was permitting
Coast Guard and Navy vessels to
escort British supply ships. while
the United States was adhering to
policy of NEUTRALITY.
The Court also denied two Tampa
(Fla.) newspapers a review of their
protests that two Tampa city license
taxes violate the constitutional
guarantee of freedom of the press
The papers. the Tampa Daily
Times and the Tampa Morning
Tribune, asserted the taxes were
imposed to curtail and restrict theii
circulation. They appealed from a
decision by the Florida Supreme
Court.
One of the Tampa levies is based
on gross receipts from all sales and
advertising. The other imposes q
$25 annual tax on newspapers en-
ploying not more than five persons
with 81 additional tax for each en-
ploye over five.
The Supreme Court said 1t dis
missed the cases for lack of sub
stantial Federal question.

and dripped down cabin walls.
Twice the plane ran through hail
and the sound was like wings being
torn of.
The wildly bucking and weaving
plane twisted so that the cabin
door flew open. Steward r. s. Yado
unbuckled his safety belt and, his
hand held by Stewardess A. A.
Brady, caught the door and pulled
it shut again. So wild was the
ride that to unbuckle ones safety
belt was to invite being tossed
from end to end of the cabin.
Capt. L. r. Shaw and Co-Pnot
Hal Wildman found Miami and
made passes at the airport but
gales and unbelievably heavy rains
blanked it out time after time.
Miami was circled for an hour and
half after the storm already
had been fought for half an hour.
Finally the pilots fought clear
and headed for Nassau, where the
plane was landed for the night. But
troubles were not over. After an
early morning takeon with the
same passengers, the plane arrived
over Miamis international airport
and landing gear signal indi-
Gated that one wheel could not be

Passengers who already felt they
had stared death in the face were
given crash instructions while the
plane circled the airport for an
hour. Badly frightened, all were
too weak to repeat a rousing ovation
and backslapping they had awarded
the pilots after the safe landing at
Nassau.
Capt. Shaw reported later that
rain water from the wild ride Of
the previous night had shorted
switches, causing danger signals to
flash. Despite the nerve shattering
preparation for a crash, the landing
was smooth on runways foot deep

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-R-The odcs today were against all of the Big Four of college football = Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn State and Southern Methodist-staying unbeaten and united for the bal ance of the campaign.
 Not a week has gone by with out one of the major teams be- ing knocked off the unbeaten and united list Last Saturday, for instance, Penn, Georgia Tech and Utah were sent sprawling off the ,spotless perch. SMU had close call, coming from behind to win.
 AS it stands now, SMU, with eight straight wins, is in the most precarious position of the current list. The Mustangs, who downed Arkansas 14-6 last Saturday, still have to hurdle troublesome Baylor next Saturday, and Texas Christ ian the following week
 The next toughest job confronts Notre Dame, winner of seven games. The Irish, who either took it easy or were hard pressed when they emerged with a 29-16 win over Northwestern Saturday. face real test of what will probably he call ed "The Game of the Year" when they engage Southern California on Dec 6. During the interim, Notre Dame will take on oft-sub- dued Tulane in breather The Trojans also are unbeaten, al- though their record is marred by a TT tie with Rice. They have won six
 Michigan and Penn State are almost certain to end the regu- lar campaign undefeated. The Rose Bowl-bound Wolverines should make it nine in a row when they meet a deflated Ohio State team in their final game of the season next week Ditto for Penn State which meets oft-beaten Pittsburgh next Saturday.
 In addition to Southern Califor- mia, Penn and Kansas remain un- beaten, although tied among the major elevens. Penn, anxious to avenge its previous thumpings at Army's hands was disappointed when held to TT tie by the Cad cts The Quakers, however, cap tured the Ivy League title as Princeton's Tigers clawed Yale IT, O. The win gave the Tigers the Big Three" championship, since Princeton previously had drubbed Harvard.
