President Truman Is going to

reward for his work in opening
the gates of the United States to
Europe's displaced persons.
Eugene Kormendy, artist in resi-

Some cars squeeze lot more power out
of the gasoline they use than others. That's
because of the difference between the COM
preston ratios of the engines. The higher
the ratio, the harder the fuel works.
With 20 to l compression ratio
highest among the three leading lo,0'
priced cars and newly designed intake
manifold, the great Plymouth engine burns
gasoline at peak efficiency, gives top
performance.
Plymouth is the only one of "all

at the game at Iowa City tins
February.
How did II work out? Iowa

was one OF the finest and cleanest
in the history OF the rivalry.
Another excellent example OF
what can be done. not only to IN

Heller or General Manager Dick
Miller explains what's going on.
The players give special DEM
onstrations Of penalties, Of
side infractions and other
teehniealities. After the show,
the fans are encouraged to meet
the players, ask questions and
generally to feel themselves part
of the Indianapolis hockey organi-
zation. This season the program
went off before 5000 fans.
70 Takes Wogk
l HE result is everything you
might expect. Indianapolis has a
reputation as one of the clean"
cities of the American Hockey
League. Game stoppages to pick
up refuse are rarities. In the past
three years, only one lone specta-
tor has ever tried to make trouble
for officials or players.
1t is possible to do this sort of
job wherever the cash customer is
spelling the fun. 1t is not cheap.
1t takes a lot of hard work. And
the results will not be apparent
overnight. But probably few
sports organizations would not be
willing to try.
Success. however, depends on
the sports fan On you. The stand
ard of American athletic achieve
ment is the highest in the world.
The standard of our sportsman
ship should be no less. Who cares
whether we make new champions

HERE are alternative solutions:
stricter police supervision OF stadia

Keith r. Kelly OF Fort Worth has
offered a bill in the Texas Legisla-
ture that would bring down a fine

not feel that the problem belongs
to it alone, but it has been among
the first to combat fan demonstra-

Iowa this year has organized a
commendable education program.
