Scrap for 1rippi Hot
With Yanks Topping
Grid, Diamond Bids
BY The Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The bid
ding is fast and furious for the
athletic services of the redoubtable
Charley Trippi with the combined
forces of the New York football and
baseball Yankees standing the best
chance, at the moment, of snaring
the Georgia All-America back and
baseball star.
With at least three other outfits
dangling lucrative contracts in front
of the 24-year-old Pittston tPaa
athlete, the Yankees baseball and
football representatives held q
Saturday session with Trippi and
lchimed in with a bid of $780, 600 for
four years to perform with the foot-
lball Yankees of the All-America
conference.
| 1t was at this session that the
husky, throwing backfeld ace
disclosed some of the fancy offers
he has had from the Boston Red
Sox, Chicago football Cardinals and
the Atlanta Crackers of the South-

Yankees came to an agreement was
not revealed, but the athlete is due
to meet with Yankee officials again

Military Training Bill
Approved for Action:
By House Next Year

The House Armed Services
Committee today approveds a
universal military training bill
by a vote of 20 to 0.
Chairman Andrews told reporters
Immediately that there is no inten-
tion of bringing the bill to House
vote this year. He said the COM
mittee action is intended solely to
get bill before Congress. The bill,
drafted by subcommittee, goes on
the House calendar and will be
ready for consideration early next
year.
Eight Republicans and IL Demo-
Gratis, with three of the Democrats
represented by proxies, voted to
send the bill to the House floor.
There are 80 on the committee.
Closely following the recommen-
dation of President Truman's spe-
cial commission on universal train
ing, the legislation calls for six
months of basic training in an Army
or Navy establishment for all quail
flied American males after they
reach the age of Is. -
Youths still in high school when
they become IS could obtain a de-
ferment, but in no event could they
avoid training before they become 20.
After the six months OF basic
training the legislation provides for
the equivalent of six months more
of training through enrolment IN
the National Guard, the ROTC or
some other reserve unit.
A special commission would super
wise the entire program under a
system of discipline less rigid than
that applicable to the regular
armed forces.

Sergeant at Arms Edward F. Nc
Ginnis of the Senate plans to ask
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee to add Is more men to the Capt.
tol police force.
This step will be taken soon, he
said, following the rejection yester-
day by the House Appropriations
Committee of funds to add Is more
police to the force on the House
side of the Capitol.
More men are needed, Mr.. McGin-
mis- said today, to police the extern
sive grounds of the Capitol and its
five separate buildings.
The need has been accentuated,
according to testimony before the
House Appropriations Committee, by
recent incidents. These included
the attempted assassination of
Senator Bricker, Republican, of
Ohio and the arrest this week of an
armed man in the Senate side of
the Capitol, shortly after the ap-
pearance of President Truman in
the Senate chamber.
The House yesterday approved its
second supplemental bill from which
funds for Is more police had been
stricken, and sent it to the Senate
When hearings open soon on the
