SNOW HOLDS UP
 GRID PRACTICE
 FOR N0TRE DAME

SOUTH BEND, Ind, March l8- R-It was a weird St. Patricks Day for the football Irish of Notre Dame-bringing snow from the sky and optimism from Coach Frank Leahy.
 The snow postponed the tradi- tional start of spring practice. The squad will try again Monday.
 Leahy surveyed 1850 prospects and said, If we can get by North Carolina in our opener here on Sept 30, it may take a pretty good college team to beat us."
 That, for Leahy. was extreme op- timism. year ago he said his team might lose five games. He was just five games over cautious then.

 E YEARS, PRISON

FRANKFURT, Germany, March 18-R,-Mrs. Yvette Madsen of Brooklyn was convicted today of murdering her Air Force husband and was sentenced to 15 years im- prisonment.
 The beautiful, 22-year-old mother of two stood pale but erect as a three judge American occupation court handed down it's verdict, finding her guilty of the deliberate ''treacherous" murder of It. An drew E. Madsen of Oakland, Calf, after gay party last Oct. 20.
 The court rejected defense plea that Mrs. Madsen was temporarily insane at the time.
 The prosecution contended that her husband was slain as the cli- max of an argument with another officer at the party on the relative merits of the Southern drawl vs. Mrs. Madsen's Brooklyn accent.
 The court reached its decision after "A hours of deliberation. The trial lasted seven days and was marked by several emotional out bursts on the part of Mrs. Madsen, during one of which she screamed:
 Hang me if you want. Hang me. I don't care. But make him stop"
 She was referring to the testi- mony of defense witness, pr. Karl Kleist, German psychiatrist, who testified she had psychopathic personality and was under a delu- sion of persecution the night she shot her husband.

first practice, Tuesday night. The teames will practice together-yes- Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
 No officials have yet been found who are willing to risk their lives in the free-for-all Friday night. It's not so free, at that, as even the players will pay to get in. Tick cts are priced at $120 for adults, 50 cents for students, both prices including tax.
 By a curious coincidence, each team is holding out for two- minute periods, purely out of con- sideration for the infirmities of the other side.
 Andy Robinson's costume com mittee had a bad time. Seems the uniforms have shrunk; they fit- ted perfectly a quarter of a century ago.
 That leaves the matter up to the imagination of the costumers, and the uniforms" they have dream ed up are out of this world-or should be. But flashy.
 Not so, MT. Charles w. Carter, official undertaken. He will be formally garhed, complete to Prince Albert coat and "stovepipe" hat, as he looks eagerly for customer every time anyone falls down.
 Besides the impromptu perfor- mances, some of the stunts will be planned by committees working with H Lion Harry Sperling and Rotarian Hank Harmon.

u: S. Held Pressing
For Accord on Atom
Sy.ths Assesiofsd Press

MOSCOW. Feb. 2s.-The So
Wet press is telling Russian read
ers these days that the American
public is putting great pressure
on the United States Government
to reach agreement with the So
Wet Union on atomic control.
Russians appear to feel that
the Truman administration soon
er or later will be forced by the
American public to take a more
conciliatory attitude toward the
Soviet Union and its proposals in
the field Of atomic energy con.
trolls.
(This article, passed by the
Russian censor, reflects what
appears to be revived Soviet
propaganda campaign for atom
control talks. President Tru-
man and Secretary Of State
Acheson have said recently
there is no indication that Rus.
sia's officials are willing to drop
their opposition to the control
plan approved by a majority Of
the United Nations-a program
that provides strict interna-
tional control and full rights to
enter any country to inspect
atomic energy projects for pos
sible yiolations.)
This impression is being given
in Moscow by Soviet papers in
their articles on atomic energy
control:
That a very large percentage of
the American public is opposed to
the policy Of the United States
Government on international
atomic controls.
That many Americans consider
the Russian proposals in the field
Of at mic energy are a practical
basis for further talks.
That in any case almost ell
Americans feel that it is time
their own government did soml-
thing on this question in terms of
getting together with the govern

LONDON. Feb. 28.-Fire broke
out in the basement of the House
Of Commons today. It was put
out in 10 minutes, but a pungent
smell of smoke will hang over the
first session of the newly elected
Parliament tomorrow.
Five brigades of f1remen soon
had the fire under control. When
they arrived, excited members OF
Parliament already were in the
basement trying to help workmen
fight the blaze. ..-
Outside of the great clouds OF
smoke which left their heavy smell
everywhere. there was little dam,
age. The smoke rendered the
ancient lobbies unbearably hot
and the tiles were hot to the
touch.
There was no indication, how
ever, that tomorrow's scheduled
session of Parliament would be
put off.
No flames could be seen in the
