Blue-Gray Cridders Ready For
Battle Tomorrow In Montgomery

Montgomery, Ala, De. 24-
APP - All-star teams fir m
North and South of the Mason
Dixon line wind up preparations
today for tomorrow's 18th anu
al game of the Blue-Gray foot
ball series.
Coaches have been polishing
up their offenses most of this
week. From the looks of it !,
the two teams will be shooting
for touhdowns nearly every
play.
Right now most experts are
rating the ga, as tossup, de-
pending on which eleven gets its
offense clicking first and keeps
it going the longer.
The Yankees probably have an
edge with their average 207-
pound man line. On the other
hand, the Rebels have more
depth and possibly more talent
| in the backfield.
Sportswriters are predicting a
high-scoring contest with both
teams passing freely. The two
squads worked on pass plays a.
gain yesterday.
Browns Ed Finn continued to
thread the needle with his pass

top passer. He threw IA strikes
during the 1948 season, each 60

formance this week has been up

Joe McCary of Virginia will do
most of the passing VIII e n

The South will build its run

Academic Freedom
Washington Post)

Nowhere is the panic atmosphere of our time more pitfully disclosed than in the timorousness al lergy to ideas-of of great institutions of learning. The College of the City of New York, for example, lately refused to let its students listen to Arneld Johnson Communist Party legislative director on the ground that the Attorney General in a list of organizations prepared for the guidance of the Loyalty Review Board, has declared the Communist Party to be communstic; apparently CCNY had never thought of it in quite this light before At the same time Columbia University, which is permitting MI. Johnson to speak on its campus, has barred a speech by Howard Fast, under conviction of contempt of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, on the ground of university precedent that no per son under indictment" may university facilities The University of Wisconsin, to cite another recent instance, has barred Carl Marzani because of the moral implications involved in sponsoring man of Marzanis record although he had been allowed to speak at both Columbia and CCNY last summer
 It should be understood that in no case would the universities involved be sponsoring the prescribed speak
 They would merely be permitting duly authorized student groups to do the sponsoring. Granted that the
 ideas of these speakers are cdous, and indeed pern- cious is suppression of them prudent tactic to pursue in dealing with inquirng young minds? We should be eternally vgilant MT Justice Holmes once said against attempts to check the expression o1 opinions that loathe and believe to be fraught with death unless they immensely threaten interference with the lawful and pressing purpose of the law that an immediate check is necessary to the country
 What are the universities afraid of? Is 1t possloie that the authorities of Columbia consider Howard Fast so formidable and his ideas attractive that they do not dare allow them expression? Have they so
 little faith in democratic doctrines to suppose these will be overwhelmed in the first test of merit when compared with Communist doctrines? Can these misguided Soviet salesmen or the curious students who want to hear them really be called imminent threats to the security of the state? II not let them -to ouote again the excellent counsel of Thomas Tefferson-"stand undisurbed monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is free to combat it.. In our uhl- versailles if nowhere else ought to be kept free

BATTLE FOR ECONOMY

"The government will spend all the money 1t can get The only way to reduce the cost of government is to reduce the revenue of government
 This statement, made by Rep. Norris Cotton o1 New Hampshire, may have something
 Cotton went to Congress year ago, he says, with
 beautiful theory about the national budget and tax reductions He believed in reducing government ex- penditures first, balance the budget, make start towards retiring debt and then consider tax reduc ton. The only trouble he found out was that the theory wouldn't work.
 Every department of government, Cotton found is fighting for it's own appropriation trying to get not only what each department believes is necessary but as much money as possible. Every department is propaganda bureau. and the minute Congress starts talking about reducing expenditures the propaganda bureaus swing into action.
 We see the thing in Alaska. While there is no question but what certain of our departments are short of needed funds others wasting money and spending unnecessarily.

FIRST ATOM PATENT

Only a few people know it, but a basic patent for atomic energy was officially registered by six Italians with the U. S. Patent Of- flee as early as Oct. 3, 1885 As a result. the Atomic Energy Com mission is debating how much Uncle Sam owes in royalties to these six patent owners for use of their basic patent
 The story goes back to 1880 in Rome where G. M Giannini tno connection with the California bankers), Enrico Fermi, Edoardo Amaldi, Bruno Pontecorvo, Franco Rasetti, and Emilio Segre were schoolmates.
 Together they evolved a nuclear reaction process which they call ed process for the production of radioactive substance and for which they filed a patent in Italy on Oct. 26, 1884
 About this time they decided to leave the realm of Mussolini, and all except Amadi succeeded in reaching the United States where they again applied for a patent on Oct. 3, 1885. It was finally granted July 2, l94O,
 As early as 1887, Giannini tried to form a company to produce isotopes, but couldn't find a packer Later, Fermi joined the U. s. Army's Manhattan Group which produced the atomic bomb, and eventually it turned out that their patent, which no one would back in 1887, formed the basis for the bomb which astounded the world at Hiroshima
 At that time the Army ap- preached the Italians and offered to buy their patent. But before negotiations were completed, Con- gress passed the McMahon act, turning all authority over to the Atomic Energy Commission and expropriating all atomic patents The Commission plans to compen- sate the owner for the patents seized.

 Thus, General Motors should have even more steel at its dis posal for 1948. Thus, also, inde- pendent auto manufacturers such as Kaiser Eraser will have tough CT time. Also, there will be less steel for all sorts of other manu- lecturers, from filing cabinets to bicycles.

INSIDE STORY ON PANAMA

The inside story on why Panama tore up Uncle Sam's lease on strategic bases will be told soon by Rep. Mike Mansfield in one man report to Congress. Just back from Investigating the incident the Montana Democrat has already reported behind closed doors to the House Foreign Affair Commit tee and is now summing up his findings for the public record.
 Mansfield planes the incident upon a wave of prediction hys- teria and predicts that Panama will reverse it's action after the political fever cools down. The vote to evict the United States was taken at the height of a wild demonstration which actually surg ed into the National Assembly chamber. Few of the demonstra- tors understood what they were clamoring about. except that it was a question of their rights against the Yankee outsiders.
 At the bottom of the plot Mans field put his finger on three Uni versity of Panama professors who had famed the sparks of anti American feeling into ied-hot an- ger among a few college students, who, in turn. stirred up the demonstration. In hot -blooded

WHEN DID LEASE EXPIRE?

Mansfield examined the contract with Panama and agreed with the State Department that the actual expiration date is not one year after the surrender, but one year after the signing of formal Japa- nese peace treaty.
 Yet Mansfield believes the State Department acted wisely in recog- nizing the little republics wishes and not challenging the decision. Net only has this created a bet ter feeling toward the U. s. among Latin American nations, but 1t has demonstrated to the world America s respect for thes sovere- ignty of others.
 Anyway, Congressman Mansfield is convinced from his post-mortem study Of the incident that it will all be forgotten and satisfactory agreement reached after the May elections.
 Note: After the Japanese collapse, the United States voluntarily pull ed out of 120 Panama bases but left it's forces in IA of the most strategic. These included the only airfield which can accommo- date B-29s, an important chemical warfare testing ground, and a string of radar posts. Gov, Joseph c. Mehaffey of the Panama Canal Zone insists that these are nee essary to guard the strategic waterway. He has also recom- mended that a sea-level canal be constructed along the course of. the present canal in order to make it less vulnerable to atomic at tack.
 After Panama kicked the U. s. out of the II bases, Senator Den his Chavez of New Mexico urged that new canal be dug across southern Mexico. Mansfield con- siders this unnecessary, impractical and too costly

tioning FCChairman Coy about the rates radio stations charge TOT political programs, compared with the rates for commercial programs McMahon said it cost one and one half times as much to buy time for political speech as for a soap opera. He added that he thought the rates should be equal.
 Brewster interrupted here, with sly glance at Chairman Tobey
 If the Chairman would con sider this a fair question" he began.
 Any question you asked would be a lair one" the gentleman from New Hampshire assured the gentleman from Maine.
 Well, then, what rate do you suppose a broadcaster would charge General Eisenhower at this time, MT. Coy? A political rate?" Brew ster asked.
 Coy, an Indiana Democrat, pass ed the question to Tobey, sponsor of Eisenhower's candidacy for the Presidency:
 whatever you charged him, he'd certainly be worth it. I'll tell you that" Tohey declared. Then he snapped: These soap operas aren't worth damn-and the same goes for political addresses, too-and I've made some myself

The majority of the members of the last Terri toria Legislature felt that the people wanted the expenses of government reduced. So they held down the tax bills. However, they were unable to with stand the pressure for appropriations and the present situation is the result This situation is not much shortage of funds it is unwise distribution of the revenues available.
 At any rate it is interesting to note that what our last Territorial Legislature did what Rep Cotton believes is the only way reduce the cost of government

NEW ENGLAND HUMOR

Senators Charles Tobey of New Hampshire and Owen Brewster of Maine, both Republicans, were questioning John Alison, new Un- dersecretary of Commerce for Air, plus Chairman Wayne Coy and Commissioner George Sterling, newly appointed to the Federal Communications Commission. The questioning of Colonel Alison, an ex-Army Air Corps pilot, was brief and disinterested, until the end
 Just minute, MT. Alison, !" Tobey's sharp voice rang through the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee room. Where do you stand on the question of a chosen instrument for overseas airline op- erations?"
 Alison gulped, returned to the tableto face Tobey, who was acting as chairman. He could feel Brew stef, leading Congressional eXpon- ent of Pan American Airways chosen instrument policy and great pal of Pan American, eyeing him. But he gave Tobey the answer Tobey wanted:
 T do not think at this time that the chosen-instrument policy is a sound one for our country"
 Brewster remarked upon Tobey's straightforward questioning, but did not pursue the question so dear to the heart of Pan American Air ways.

Panama, such a spirit is contagious and swept through the populace like a prairie fire. The resulting public clamor easily swayed the 51 Assembly delegates, all up for re- election next May.
 Panama's Communist Party, which claims scant 1000 mem- bers, took up the battle-cry from the students, but never played more than a secondary role in the demonstration Mansfield reports The original proposal to ahrogate the U. $. lease was introduced by former Foreign Minister Ricar- do Alfaro on the legalistic grounds that the treaty expired one year after the Japanese surrender.
