Observers at the Army-ViIIano,
By HASKELL COHEN

observers at the Army-V iIIanova
football game were very much
surprised to note how well the
inexperienced Army line charged.
The defensive charge of the West
Point forward wall had the PhiIa-
deIphia gridsters back on their
heels most of the afternoon. For
the most part the Army line
looked like the great walls of
former years. The credit for the
boys great showing is given to
Coach Sid Gilman, who took over
when Herman Hickman moved
along to Yale. Sid would be a
head coach at a large college if
schools would act as democratic
ally as they talk. One of the ma
TONS leading football mentors
said, "GiIman is one of the best
coaches in the country today. If he
weren't Jewish he would be on
top" Sid coached Miami of Ohio
the past few years and moved that
college up several nOtches in the
nations football rankings.

Woods Tells Truman
OF Sudden Rent Rise
Under Relaxed Law
Housing Heads Report
Cites Danger Of Further
Liberalization in Control:

Housing Expediter Tighe E..
Woods told President Truman
today there was a Sudden and
dangerous rise" in rents as a re-
suit of the liberalized control
provisions of the Housing and
Rent Act which went into effect
last July l.
With all rent control scheduled to
expire on February 20 unless Con-
gress acts to meet the situation, the
President was advised that the rent
index of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics rose 512 per cent during the
first five months of the 1947 rent
act as compared to only l per cent
in the previous five years.
This sudden and dangerous rise
in the rent level is due to the Is
per cent lease provision of the pres
ent act and to widespread violations
of rent ceilings" the housing expe-
otter. told the President in his an
nual report.
"It should be noted that this in
crease in the rent index does not
reflect but is in addition to the in
f1ationary rents for housing accom-
modations automatically decon-
trolled by the act"
Under the act landlords are per-
mitted to raise rents by Is per cent
If the tenants agree. The act re-
moved rent controls, according to
the report, from 1,250,0oO units in
hotels, motor courts and tourist
homes; 78,300 housing units con-
structed since February l, $4,000

Andersen Asks Name
OF Trader Who Made
100000 Last Week
Reported to Have Sold
Million Bushels of Grain
Short During Break

Representative August H. Anr
dresen, Republican, of Minnesota
said today he has asked Secre-
tary of Agriculture Anderson for
the name of a man who sold
100000 bushels of wheat short
and made 100000 during last
weeks market break.
Mr. Andersen is chairman of a
special House committee investigat-
ing market speculation.
He said Secretary Anderson told
news conference yesterday that
he knows the name of the trader.
The man is not a Government off,
cial, Secretary Anderson said.
I'VE want to know, and I have
asked the Secretary, if the trader
had inside information" Mr.. An
dresen said. "On transaction like
that he must have had margin of
close to $1,000, 600 and it looks like
he knew in advance what was
going to happen"
Secretary Anderson refused to
tell reporters the name of the
ZOO, 600 -bushel short trader.
Anderson Denies Charges.
Meanwhile, Secretary Anderson
released another statement today
again charging that Mr. Andersen
was bear hunting with an empty
gun" when he asserted yesterday
that some people prof1ted by "ad-
vance inside information" on the
market and that the Secretary had
ordered wheat buying stopped last
week before the market break.
There is no basis whatever for
any of these loose charges the
Secretary asserted.
Making them at this time can
only serve to further upset the mar
ket with continued uncertainty to
farmers and harm to many other
elements in our economy" Mr.
Anderson added.
The Secretary called on Mr.. An.
dresen to name the spectators
whom he knows were tuned tt
the pipeline of inside information -
He added: IT know of no such per-
son. He knows of no such person.
Politics" Charges Traded.
The Secretary noted that, Mr.
Andersen had claimed that he fthe
Secretary had ordered grain buy
ing stopped and that the bottom
then fell out of the commodities
market. On this, Secretary Ander-
son commented:
The truth is that the bottom fell
out and then I ordered buying
stopped until prices had stabilized
Every news story that I read con-
f1rmed the fact that the break
fooled every experienced trader ane
took the whole market by surprise
Furthermore, the decline started ir
corn, which we are not buying, ano
spread to wheat, which makes Mr.
Andresen's charge look ridiculous.
In another development in the
price feud, Senator Taft, Republi-
can, of Ohio reiterated in Chicago
today his belief that Secretary An
derson had sought to influence
wheat prices for political reasons
Earlier, Secretary Anderson hao
declared that Senator Taft, himself
was acting for political reasons
when he made such statements.
