 ar air lines for allegedly exceed Ing their flying authorities. Sue h Iztations are in effect threats to bake away their operating licenses.
 The lines are Arctic-Pacific, Inc, with headquarters at Seattle, and Economy Airways, Inc, with head |quarters at New York City. They |are called irregular" lines because they are licensed only to make charter or special flights rather than conduct regularly scheduled service.
 {. The board said it appeared that leach of the companies had con- ducted flights between given points with such frequency and regularity las to resemble scheduled opera |tions.
 Each company was given 15 days to file a written reply to the CAB allegations, and was directed to appear at a hearing, later to be set, to show cause why their licenses |Should not te revoked. f The board said that Arctic-Pa-
 cific had been operating what
 amounted to regular flights be- tween Seattle and Fairbanks, AL
 aska.
 Economy was accused of operat-
 ing frequent regular flights be-
 tween New York City, Houston
 Tex, and New Orleans, La., and

Meet Brings Up War PIant Removal; Alaskan Nudity
 of Defense Discussed
By ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-tR- The military high command and Congress are getting new demands that something be done about the defenses of Alaska and the Pa- cific Northwest.
 Congress members and officials from the Northwest say the de- fense plans shouldn't include nov ing war plants out of that area. They say military leaders contem- plated that The military leaders say they didn't.
 A complaint that Alaska is de- fenseless against a strike by Rus sia across the Boring Strait came last night from the Territory's governor, Ernest Gruening.
 lie made the statement at a mass meeting arranged cy the All American Defense Association. The association, formed to protest war plant relocations, called a policy forming session today
 Gruening pointed out that the mainlands of Alaska and Russian Siberia are only 54 miles apart.
 Elementary common sense would require making Alaska as nearly impregnable as possible, ? said the governor. But no such thing was done"
 NEXT TO NOTHING"
 During the four years from l945 after V-J Day till the sum- mer of 1949 next to nothing was done for building up of Alaskan defenses. Congress, which so gen. erously voted funds to check the advance of imperial Communism in Europe, voted next to nothing to prepare against similar advance to Alaska and the American con- tineht.''
 Gruening's complaints bout plans to transplant war factories from the Pacific coast to an in- land location were echoed by other speakers at last nights defense meeting and in statements on Capitol Hill
 But if there had been such a plan it appeared to have been scotched by the opposition of Con- gress members and officials from the Pacific states. Pentagon offi- cials recalled that Secretary of De- fense Johnson already had denied these "rumors."
 There had been a persistent re- port in recent months that the military had written-or intended to write-into contracts with pri- vate firms a provision requiring that production of such critical items as aircraft be carried out at inland points.
 Rep Sheppard D.-Calif) told the Defense Association meeting he had teen assured this wasn't so
 Sheppard quoted Johnson as telling him yesterday that T never considered an order of that kind and have no contemplation of is- suing an order now or in the fu- ture" Moreover, said Sheppard the Secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force had each given him similar assurance.

BOSTON. Nov. 23.-The Boston
Post says that Mike Holovak.
freshman coach. will be named
Denny Myers successor as head
football coach at Boston College.
Myers has resigned. effective
after the December 2 Boston Col
lege-Holy Cross game.

fullback, has led the freshmen to
undefeated seasons the last two
years.
The Post said today that "the
actual signing of two-year con-
tract will not take place until q
cooling-of period after the Holy
Cross game"
Several others. including Char
ley O'Rourke and Eddie Doherty
both former Boston College stars
have been mentioned for the job
O'Rourke has been serving as
an assistant coach at Holy Cross
and Doherty has rendered his
resignation as head coach at Ari-
zona State College at Tempe.

Officials have gambled on cap

It represents quite q risk, how
ever. Early in negotiations Ath-
letic Director Bones Irwin Of the
Aggies repeatedly insisted on a
$4,000 guarantee to accompany
a privilege of 40 per cent of the
gross gate. Georgia also probably
will receive a hefty guarantee
with the right to take 40 per cent
of the gate If that adds to more
money.
Both schools were reported well
pleased with the financial ar
rangements.
There are a few items to worry
about. One is the weather. Others
are remaining games to be played
by contestants. If Texas routs
the Aggies it won't help the gate

Georgia Tech December 2. Georgia

The Aggies have won six games

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Nov. a.
Tennessee has one of the most
powerful running attacks In col
lege football, but Kentucky's Coach
Paul (Bear) Bryant says it is the
Volunteers passes he fears most
In Saturdays Game Of the Day
The statistics show Tennessee has
thrown the ball II times in nine
games. It has completed 26
tosses for 1853 net yards. Five
were intercepted.
BY contrast. TennesSee's single
wing ground game has piled UP
2,089 yards and brought them a
bid to play In the Cotton Bowl
On quick examination Of these
figures. there appears to be nc
logic in Bryant's apprehension
But here's the way he explained
it to Tom Siler, Knoxville News
Sentinel sports columnist:
'Tennessee's passing attack Is
dangerous. I know they don't
throw much. But they remind me
Of Alabama. When they throw
they hurt you. Hank Lauricella
is a good paSser."
Tennessee's Coach Bob Neylan6
hasn't used the aerial arm of his
arsenal this fall simply because
he hasn't had to. The running at
tack has clicked so smoothly In
trampling eight out Of nine foes
passes haven't been needed-even
to loosen up the opposition.
For instance, against North
Carolina, Washington and Lee

Mount Vernon is dangerous In
