THE MAN FROM ~ COLORADO" BILL
 NOW AT CAPITOL

In "The Man From Colorado" at the Capitol theatre for the last showings 0 nj g ht, Columbia has made a picture of vast sweep, tre- mendous power and savage action. Glenn Ford and William Holden are starred in this epic action drama with color by Technicolor, which is a roaring tale of bruising, brawl- ing young frontier, pulsing to life in the backwash of battle. Sharply etched on the broad canvas of new born Colorado in post-Civil War days is the personal drama of two men, lifelong friends, who tear the West apart over woman.
 The laundering action starts with a headlong rush as the terrible massacre of Rebel troops at Jacobs Gorge in the waning days of the war, unfolds on the screen. Ford, who has ordered it, increasingly be- trays a fiendish blood lust which overshadows his love for Ellen Drew, and his regard for Holden, his best friend, who also loves Miss Drew. When the raw frontier flames into violence, Ford sees it as an excuse to carry on a hanging party at EXe- cution. Grove with an innocent man as victim. Holden, outraged by this bloody act, breaks with his friend when the latter attempts m o T e hangings.
 This is just starter to events leading up to a smashing climax.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Jan. 3--tR --Ladd Field came within a foot print of whipping the University of Alaska in the Ice Bowl game. The farthest north-and wierdest football game of a bowl-crowded day wound up in scoreless tie when sharp-eyed officials found where Ray Keelin of Wheeler, Texas, had stepped out of bounds on the coal
 dusted l0-yard line.
 Keelin mushed 40 yards through the foot-deep snow and 25-below- zero weather after catching a pass mittened by George Raidel of
 Youngstown, Ohio.
 Chills were bigger than thrills for the 500 fans who stomped the sidelines and squinted at the play CTS through the vapor of their own breathing. Seated throughout the contest in the unsheltered review ing stand were Brig Gen. Dale V. Gaffney and Dr. Charles Err

Dispute Arises Over ResuIiof
 Rose Bowl Game; Reported
 Tumble Starts Big Discussion

PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 3.-lRS- It's been chilly in these parts, but the arguments over Art Murakow- skis touchdown for Northwestern in the Rose Bowl are warming up the whole landscape today. These arguments are, of course, unofficial, but for the fans hot stove there's fuel aplenty for a whole long winter; mayce many winters.
 Officially, that score board still says Northwestern 20, California IA. That's the way it'll stay.
 The heated discussion centers around what fullback Murakowski did or didn't do, the newspaper pie lures thereof, the telecast and what the fans saw, or thought they saw, especially California rooters. ARGUE ON TUMBLE
 Murakowski fumbled, and they'll argue from here to there on wheth- CT he fumbled an instant before or after he crossed the Cal goal line. The officials ruled it a touchdown on the ground he had possession of the ball crossing the final white line, then fumbled. That made the score 13 to for Northwestern.
 If the decision had been that Murakowski fumbled before cross ing the line, the score would have stayed at TT at the moment and recovery of tn loose ball in the end zone by California's Will Lotter, would have given the Bears the ball on their own 20-yard line.
 Several newspaper pictures seem to indicate that Murakowski fum- bled before he got to the goal line, but even some hotheads concede that camera angles are deceptive. WHAT OFFICIALS SAY l..
 Here's what some of the officials say:
 Referee Jimmy Cain: Jay Ber- wanger (field judge) was in po- sition to see the play and he called Murakowski over the goal line for a touchdown. The rule is explicit on the point that when the ball passes on or over the goal line it is a touchdown. On his decision, which had to be right because he was where he could see. Murakowski had possession of the hall when he crossed the line"
 Berwanger, famed former Univer- sity of Chicago star, checked out of his hotel without commenting pub licly.
 Coach Lynn Waldorf of Califor- mia: If the officials said he was over the goal line, that's good enough for me"
 EXPLANATION I MURAKOWSKI: T know it. 1 (thaU he was across before fum- bling). There was only yard to go and I was through the line and over before somebody grabbed me from behind and pulled me back for a second. That's when I lost the ball"
 Northwestern's Frank Aschen- brenner started the ground-hugging scoring parade Saturday with 73- yard first quarter gallop. A couple of plays later California's Jack Jen- sen went 67 yards to tie the score.
 Tom Worthing's 38-yard punt re- turn set up the h-discussed Murakowski score which gave Northwestern a 13-7 halftime lead. Jack Swaner put the Bears ahead 14-13 in the third quarter by going over from the four after an 85-yard California march. The Wildcats winning punch. 43-yard scoring run by Tunnicliff, ended an 88- yard drive with less than three min- utes left in the game.

DELAWARE JAILS
CALLED FAILURE

The Delaware county Jail system
is failure, but it takes something
sensational like the recent prison
break to make the public realize the
seriousness of that failure, Thomas
E. Miller, president of the Prison
ers' Aid Society, said this week.
Mr.. Miller, in a talk to the up
per classes of Friends School, said
the failure is one Of the commun-
ity, for 'the judges who appoint
the trustees have failed. The trus-
tees have failed. Wardens have
failed. The public has failed. The
Prisoners Aid Society has failed. "
Includes Society
He included his own society be-
cause I'VE talked about conditions.
but evidently we did not talk loud
ly enough or do our jobs skillfully
enough to remedy the conditions,
many of which we knew existed
there"
The heart of the matter is public
apathy toward the whole thing,
making the primary function of our
Jails a medium to satisfy the pub
lie desire for revenge against the
criminal and to provide jobs for the
political party in power, he said.
Idleness Criticized
Idleness, which he termed the
worst evil of the three county Jail
is the result of this situation. The
jails have made efforts to provide
work for the prisoners, but Mr.
Miller told the students some OF
the obstacles these efforts face.
"The prison has a hard time get
ting work for the prisoners be-
cause townspeOple thwart their ef-
forts whatever they may make OF
service they may perform" he
said.
Merchants in Wilmington COM
plain that prisOn-made goods are
running their market. Labor unions
complain against the competition
of prison labor. They have been
able to bring pressure to bear tC
get these various prison industries
stopped"
Later, Mr.. Miller pointed out
that the society had made efforts
in the past to correct this situation
He pointed to the presentation o.
the State Use Bill in the Genera
Assembly which provided tha
other state institutions buy prison.
made goods.
Bill Not Endorsed
However, the boards of trustees
of the prisons failed to endorse this
bill. They refused to offer an al
tentative. So no one felt concerned
about it, except the society, and thu
