two false starts.
On February 7, in Boston again,
he won the Boston AA 45-yard dash
in 5.4 seconds, and on February Is
at the Garden he finished second in
the 60-yard. He was second in the
Philadelphia Inquirer 50-yard, los
ing out to Eddie Conwell of the
Pioneer AC.
In these short dashes, where a
slight advantage at the start means
victory, Ewell piled up an imposing
record.
1t is unfortunate that Joe Clan
ciabella, who last year won The
Evening Star Sprint Series by cap
turing the 80-yard dash, in which
he tied the world outdoor record in
8 seconds fiat, and the 100-yard dash,
which he ran in 98, will not be able
to compete. Joe finished third in
the 60-yard to amasS a total of l3
out of a possible Is points.

Has Lots of Opposition.
However, there will be plenty of
stiff opposition for Ewell in the
Sprint Series. Invited back is Mar
cellus Boston, third last January in
the series, Boston, a former Cardozo
High School star, now is running
for Iowa State. Sterling Wingo, the
V.PI. flash, and William Dwyer, the
Brown sprinter who holds the New

and the winner of the Sugar Bowl
100-yard also will be invited. At
present the prospects are that
Charley Parker of Texas U. will be
the man to beat, he having run the
100 in 9.5. a.
Another Olympic sprinter proba
bly, will be included, and there is a
possibility that Lorenzo Wright, who
ran with Ewell on the Olympic re-
lay team, will be the man.

does three dashes Of a greater dis

"it's jls: around the corner. And.
by N. way. what kind of ice
cream do you boys like?"
Four faces lighted up like four

"Vanilla?" he repeated. Bring

EITHER, OR:
Marshall


Either undertake to meet the re-
quirements of the problem or don't
undertake it at ALL"
In that blunt fashion, Secretary of
State George Marshall made pre-
liminary plea to the 80th congress
for passage of his European recov-
cry plan. It was apparent that he
believed the requirements of the
situation were exactly as he and
the administration had outlined
them to the public.
Marshall rejected the Republican
backed proposal to create a new
government corporation to admins
ter the aid program, and he asked
for single administrator respon-
sible to the President and working
in conjunction with the secretary of
state.
There is neither time nor justifi-
able opportunity for congressional
pairing of the Marshall plan, he in
timated. The 6.8 billion dollars
which President Truman has asked
for the first Is months of the plan is
a precisely calculated figure. the
secretary said, which "does not rep
resent a generous estimate of re-
quirements.
At the same time responsible Re-
publican leaders were predicting
that congress would approve a mod
flied European relief program which
would be kept under a 5-billion-
dollar cost during it's initial period.
Marshall repeated earlier esti-
mates that the total cost might
range between 1871 and 1913 billion
dollars. And, he said, the first ap-
preparation should be enough to get
the program under way ION a
broad, sound basis and not in a
piecemeal manner"
But that now was up to congress,
which would be hearing more ad-
ministration testimony on behalf of
the Marshall plan before it got to
work on the measure.

Decline in Jobs

Number of civilians employed in
the United States in November was
So, sos, 900, according to Alexander
Hamilton institute.
This compared with SO, 204, 900 in
October and with the record high
peak of 6O,O79,O00 last July. The
drop of 100000 persons from Octo-
Der to November in the number en-
ployed was accounted for entirely
by a seasonal decline in employ
ment of farm workers.
That was also the reason for the
reduction of 1,484, 900 employed per-
sons from the record peak reached
in July. The number of persons en-
ployed in gricultural lines in
November, a total Of so, 500, 900, was
the highest on record.
Moreover, the decline in employ
ment in November was more than
offset by reduction in the total
labor force which appeared as de-
crease in the number of unemployed
persons seeking jobs.
A reversal of this seasonal en-
ployment decline is expected to evil
dence itself in February.

THIRD FORCE:
Socialism?

Latest voice from among the less
potent nations of the globe to rise in
protest of the cold battle between
Russia and the U. S. was that of
Leon Blum, French Socialist leader
and short-tine premier of France.
He called for third force of the
world to stand between the Big
Two, even as such a middle group
has stood between the Communists
and DeGaullists in France.
Blum said the international third
force would oppose American capt.
talism and expansion as well as
Russian imperialism and extinction
of human rights. That force, he pro-
posed, ought to be headed by France
and Great Britain.
Blum was espousing on a world
wide basis an old and eminently
workable theory the balance of
power. While Russia and America
are battling 1t out on fairly even
terms, Blum would have the two
lesser nations step in to take control
OF the slight power balance that is
left over and thus possibly be able
to steer course more to their
liking.
Between Russia and the U. S..
said Blum, there is room for ma
tons which want at the same time
personal liberty and collective econ
omy, democracy and social JUS
tice." It was another plea for a
middle course, and to Blum
middle course meant Socialism.

Drafted:
Labor

Peacetime industrial CONSUMPTION
the labor draft-became a reality
in Great Britain as thousands of
street peddlers, bootblacks and 9TH
ers engaged in ''non-essentiap' work
lined up to register at government
labor exchanges.
During the first six days Of the
new order about 10000 signed up for
job placement, spurred by penalties
of fines ranging up to $4,000 and two
years Imprisonment for those who
failed to register.
The drastic measure was put into
effect to help find recruits for 100000
vacant essential jobs, mostly on
farms, in coal mines and in textile
factories. Hamstrung by the desper-
ate need for greater production,
Britain's Labor government thus
carried it's naturalization program
long step farther.

MESSAGE:
TaT Issue

Whether President Harry Tru-
mans state of the union message to
congress was "socialistic, as Re-
publican partisans dubbed it, or
fortnight and courageous" as in
the eyes of loyal Democrats, re-
manned a matter of opinion, but it
was fairly obvious that in making it
the President had cast a loving
glance toward next November's
election day.
He proposed a combination tax
cutting-andraising device that man.
ifestly has no chance of passage in
the Republican dominated congress
but one that sounds good to lot of
voters.
His plan, embodying tax-relief to
the little man." would give each
individual taxpayer an immediate
$40 tax cut for himself and for each
dependent. To offset that reduction
in federal income he proposed that
corporation taxes be raised by 80
billion dollars.
Mr.. Truman presented the scheme
as ''cost of living credit designed
primarily to relieve the small tax
payer.
In phrase certain to be quoted
with relish by Democratic orators
during the coming campaign, the
President said he wants to keep
revenue collections where they are
and still help those who need relief
to ''buy the necessities of life"
Supplementing the tax proposals
he called for 75-cent-per-hour min
imum wage, representing a 35-cent
increase over the present Accent
minimum. Although in the past he
has favored raising the national
minimum wage, the 75-cent figure
was the highest fiat demand he has
made.
General tone of the Presidents
message to the joint session led
most observers to believe that he
was swinging his administration
back to "a little left of CENTER" a
point which generally is identified
with New Deal PHILOSOPHERS.
Some saw in the speech per-
ceptible bid for the left-wing and
liberal vote that Henry Wallace's
third party is threatening to take
away from the Democrats.
Republican reaction to Mr.. Tru-
mans speech was bitter and intense
and the COP. went ahead more
determinedly with it's own tax-re-
duction bill.
The President also informed con-
gress he plans to send up soon two
special messages, one calling for
legislative action to guarantee all
citizens civil liberties guaranteed
by the Constitution and second
presenting detailed ''relief and
reconstruction program for China.

KNOCKOUT:
Brazil

A1E CA<SbV
Brazil, which severed diplomatic
relations with Russia in, huff last
October, now has administered
what looks like the coup de grace to
Red activity within it's own borders.
It came in the form Of law,
signed amid great Juror by Presi-
dent Enrico Dutra, virtually abol-
ishing every vestige of Communist
action in Brazil by removing all
Communists from elective posts
throughout the nation, including
congressman.
The process of outlawing the Reds
was far from calm one, marked at
times by dramatic displays of Latin
American verve and temper.
Fist fights broke out frequently on
the floor of the chamber of deputies,
and at one point during the debate
the session was suspended tempo
rarily when three deputies pulled
guns from their pockets and waved
them at three Communist men,
bers. No shots were fred.
Outside the building private citi-
zens argued vociferously and ex-
changed blows. Leftist crowds
shouted vengeance on the deputies
and police sirens screamed through
downtown Rio de Janeiro.
It was, by and large, the most
turbulent legislative session ever
held in Brazil, but the final vote was
181 in favor Of the measure,
"a against.
Other nations could take an object
lesson from Brazips achievement.
Communists can be frozen out Of
government activity even though the
process may be noisy and painful.
