BAIL DEAL HAS 'EM
 BuzZING. WHO GOT
 BEST IN BIC SWAp!l
By JOE REICHLER

NEW YORK, Dec. 15--tH- Base calls biggest transaction in years the New York-Bo ton deal that Involved upwards of a half million collars in t0lent-had buzzing by sanders asking today:
 "Who got the better of the tradc, lie Giants or the BravesqH
 Tn spectacular llth-nour swap, the Braves sent their double play combination of shortstop Alvin Dark and second baseman Eddie Stanky to the Giants in exchange tor outfielders Sid Gordon, Willard Marshall, shortstop Buddy Kerr and pitcher Sam Webb.
 This swap easily ,overshadowed sh.ee other big league trades, ths most important of which sent St. Louis second baseman Gerry Prddy Q Detroit for S1oO,C00. The Browns acquired pitcher Lou Gretlow in addition to the huge bundle ot cash.
 Fridays sale added more than S200,c00 to the Browns exchequer, since late Tuesday night the club collected in excess of $100,000 plus four players from the Philadelphia Athletics for star third baseman, Boo Dillinger.
 DID BRAVES GET BEST?
 In couple of other deals the Athletics traded third baseman Hank Majeski to the Chicago White Sox for relief pitcher Fl Kleiman and the St. Louis Cardinals re- acquired outfielder Harry Walker in exchange for flychaser Ron Worthy and utility infielder Lou Klein.
 Lovers of power and punch are of the belief that the Braves got much the better of the big National League deal They point out that in giving up Gordon and Marshall the Giants sent a pair of sluggers who hit 38 home runs between them in 1949 for a pair who collected only four. Gordon blasted 26 round trippers, Marshall 12, Dark three and Stanky one. Kerr had none.
 Advocates of the fast-tieldng, heady hit-and-run type of athlete think the Giants got the edge. They point out that despite the l69 home runs hit by the Gordon Marshall duo during their five years with the club the Giants could finish no higher than third. Three times they finished in the second division.

BASKETBALL FOUL
 RULE UNDER FIRE
 BY CAGE NENT0RS
By ORLO ROBERTSON

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15-R-If the college basketball coaches have their way, this will be the first and last year for the rule that gives a team fouled both a free shot and possession of the ball in the last two minutes of play.
 An Associated Press survey of many of the nations ranking cage mentors showed decided disap- rroval of the rule put into effect this year with the hopes it would reduce intentional fouling in the waning minutes of the game.
 A much smaller group said it is .co soon to pass final judgement on the rule. A few favored different interpretations of the rule.
 But of 36 coaches asked to ex- press an opinion only pr. F. c. (Phog) Allen came out whole heartedly for it. The veteran Uni versity of Kansas coach would ex- tend the two-minute rule to the entire game
 The rule calls for a time out while the free shot is being tried and until the ball is thrown into play from out of bounds by the team fouled. llkaEL

 2FIVE-R0UNDERS

DETROIT, Dec. 15-tR-Retired heavyweight champion Joe Louis loved with two opponents last night in pair of five-round ex- .ibition bouts that were more of a inancial than a fistic success.
 Louis had the same old deadpan expression as he chugged through lis chores with Irish Johnny Flynn of Rochester, NY, and the veteran Roscoe Toles of Detroit.
 The former heavyweight kings weight was announced at 225 hut 2c looked to be even heavier than hat. Flynn came in at 210 and '-oles at 225.
 A crowd of 9,257 paid a gross rate of s19,778.96, less than half the expectations.

 EASY MONEY GONE

NEW YORK, Dec. l5--F-Cll. one member oE the 1ci) Collcs, AE. America Jim Martin, the big Notre Dame tackle-is dead set on carrying on in professional fcot- ball.
 Four of the honored squad insist they definitely won't play for money while the other six are doubtful, their enthusiasm chilled by the re- cent merger of the two major DIG circuits.
 Tt looks like the quick and easy money is gone" walled Clayton Tonnemaker, the 245-pound cen ter from Minnesota. "I'll procaoly try to capitalize on my physical education degree"
 But in case the pros would like to dish out some of that heavy sugar, the Minneapolis boy added: I'm listening
 Sharing the undecided fencs with Tonnemaker are Leon Hart, the Notre Dame end who was voted the seasons outstanding in dividual performer: his teammate, fullback Emil Sitko; halfback Doak Walker of Southern Methodist; and those two great guards, Rod Franz and .Inhr, cchwedpr.
 Triple threat Charlie Justice, the two-time All-American halfbaek from North Carolina gave the pros Q cold shoulder.

To carry out its gigantic task,

Just what the future of IT'S is

unlikely that its work will be
completed by the time IRO ceases
operations in June 1850.

the International Tracing Service,
a branch of U.N. International

This branch of IRO has become
the worlds largest bureau of

as 5000 cases a month, operating
a master index which contains in
formation on nearly 5000, 900 peo-
pie and acting as an international
detective agency which traces
missing persons of more than 80
nationalities.
: With headquarters in the Ger
man town of Arolsen, IT'S was
established by IRO in January
1913, taking over the records of
the old UNRRA Central Tracing
Bureau, which was set up by the
four Major Powers occupying
Germany in 1945. The purpose of

antilles in touch with each other

If both methods fail. then names
