 INDICATED
Soviet Union Expected 10 Be Sharply Against Bi-
 zondI Sefup, Germany

BERLIN, Jan. is.-tR-Russia is expected to soundoff sharply against the new British-American BiZonal occupation setup in Western Ger many when the Allied Control Coun- cil meets tomorrow. but officials of the two western powers predicted an outright break with the Soviet Union would be averted.
 These officials and Germans themselves wondered, however. if the Russian occupation commander, Marshal Vastly Sokolovsky, would demand that the U. S., Britain and France pull out of Berlin, on the ground that the Bizonal setup nulli- flies four-power agreements for con- trol of Germany.
 The Council has not met since the London Conference of Foreign Min isters broke up. Subsequently the U. 5. and Britain established their new joint governmental setup in Western Germany, giving Germans more power in the Government of the economically merged zones.
 The establishment of Bizonal has Eeen attacked bitterly by the Soviet Press, which suggested that the Western Allies would be asked to withdraw their forces from Berlin.
 sokolovsky is reported just back from an extended visit to Moscow and there has been considerable speculation as to whether he re- ceiyed new policy orders from the Krenlin.

The worst cold wave of the sea- son which caused at lef;t 25 deaths and cut sharply into fuel oil supplies had moderated con- siderably in the midwest today but 1t still held firm grip on east ern and southern states.
 The Chicago weather bureau said subzero readings were somewhat general in the New England States and that the mercury again skid ded to well below freezing as far south as southern Florida. The coldest spot on the early weather map was 26 below at Phillipsburg, in Western Pennsylvania.
 At Memphis. Tenn, where l2 inches of snow fell Saturday, the temperature stood at only three degrees above zero early today.
 As President Truman's order re- stricting the use of heating and motor fuels went into effect, 12 central and southeastern states re- ported 25 deaths attributed to the bitter cold Pennsylvania, Tennes- see and Kentucky reported four deaths each: Illinsois 3, Minne- sota and Wisconsin, North Caro- lima, Alabama, Georgia. Missouri and Mississippi, one each.
 President Trumans order directed that federal buildings using oil for fuel be limited to 6S degrees heat ing, and that government cars be- 1 limited to 10 miles an hour to con- serve gasoline. Many areas cur tailed use Of oil and gas for in- dustrial purposes in a move to stretch dwindling supplies for heat ing purposes.

EXIT AIR WATCHDOGS

President Truman, after firing chairman Jim LandiS of the CIVIL Aeronautics Board, has now got himself in the near position o1 having not single, solitary top administrator to regulate the vital airlines of the nation.
 His other top airman, Ted Wright, most noted air technician of the world, has just resigned as head of the Civil Aeronautics Adminis- tration while the third man, Charles Stanton, has taken a four year leave of absence to build up the Brazilian airlines at twice the salary he gets from Uncle Sam.
 This leaves the airways of the nation denuded of Government administrators. It also leaves lower personnel of both the CAB and the CAA with morale shattered and ready to follow their chiefs into private business.
 Behind all this, it seems fair to recall that enc Harry Truman has made some fine speeches at Prince ton University and other places about the importance of young men making a career of government. But when a man does adopt gov ernment service as career, Harry Truman seems to go out of his way to fire him.
 Two days after his Princeton speech last June, for instance, he fired Ray Wakefield, a Republi- can, from the Federal Communi- cations Commission, despite his long and meritorious career first with the state of California. later with the U. s. Government
 On top of this he fired Landis as head of the Civil Aeronautics Board despite the fact that Landis had served faithfully as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Com mission. spent grueling years as wartime head of civilian defense, plus several years on meagre salary governing the airlines of the nation.
 Then just as the Senate was rebuffing Truman's plan to replace Landis with a military man, Maj. Gen. Laurence Kuter, Ted Wright slammed in his resignation as head of the Civil Aeronautics Admins tration.
 This is just as great loss as Landis. For while Landis, as head of CAB, allocated airline routes and fixed general policy, Wright, as head of CAA, regulated airline safety Every country in the world recognized him as the top air. safety technician.
 Wright gave as his reason for resigning not only low govern ment salary but the lack of op- portunity in government services. In other words, politicians were appointed to juicy plums over his head
 President Truman will have to do some tall persuading to get any one else of high calibre to step into enc of these jobs.

PEACE FAST
 BY GANDHI

Re|iqious Leaders Make Solemn Pledge in Hope
 of Harmony in India

NEW DELHI, India, Jan. l9.|R -Mohandas K. Gandhi's hope oi harmony in India lay today in the solemn pledge by religious leaders which ended his peace fast alter lzl hours and 45 minutes.
 The Indian patriot and Hindu spiritual leader drank sweet lime juice at 12:45 pm. (2:l5 am, East ern Standard Time) yesterday. It was his first nourishment since Il am, Tuesday, when he began the fast, his fifteenth.
 Last night, five hours after break ing his fast, the 78-year-old Gandhl told a big prayer meeting he did so on the pledge and counsel' o1 friends from Hindu-led India and Moslem-led Pakistan.
 They guaranteed, he said, com plete. unbroken friendship" among Hindus, Moslems and Sikhs. Gandhl said fulfillment of this pledge would double my intense wish to i've a full span of life doing service to humanity. At least 125 years, or as some say. 133 years.
 His reference was to resolution, signed a few hours before he eneded his ordeal, in which communal lead CTS pledged their lives as an earnest of peace.
 They adopted his seven-point pro- gram for social acceptance and safety of lives and property of Moslems in India. They set up a committee o1 l3O. of all religions to meet nightly for a review of progress toward these ends.

The University Of Maryland will
be In an excellent position to debate
on the relative merits of football IN
the Southern Conference as to foot
ball in the Southeastern by Satur-
day night.
That's because the battered Terps,
beaten 1920 last Saturday by North
Carolina, the hottest club in the
Southern, travel to Nashville this
week to meet Vanderbilt, which for
the last five weeks has been the
hottest club in the Southeastern
Conference.
After losing two of their first
three games and tying the other,
the Commodores started to click
and in their last five games have
run up 2l2 points against two touch
downs for the opposition. That's a
lot of points, even II you're playing
the boys from the corner drug store.
Vanderbilt's opposition, however,
will not be seen IN any bowl games.
The ones the Commodores have
beaten, that is. The names have
been big, Kentucky, Yale, Auburn
and L. s. u, before Marshall last
Saturday, but with the possible
exception Of Kentucky all are hav-
ing poor seasons. Kentucky has
won only one more than it has lost.
The Commodores sarted the sea-
SON by losing, 1870, to Georgia Tech.
Alabama tied them, 14-14, on the
last play of the next game and then
conference champion Mississippi de-
feated them, 20-7, before Coach Red
Sanders club started its winning
streak.
Sanders is in his sixth year as
head coach at his alma mater and
this is supposed to be Vanderbilt's
toughest schedule. After Maryland
