PIebiscite Is Urged
On Arming Germans

A plebiscite in Western Ger
many on rearmament proposals
was urged today by the 29-year-
old National Council for Preven-
ton of War.
From it's headquarters at 1913
Eighteenth street NV, the Coun-
Gil directed plea to the Big
Three foreign ministers session
in New York that any decision
on the rearming of Western Ger
many be postponed pending a
vote.
'"The West may need military
allies, but it does not need allies
at the expense of friends" the
message asserted.
It also said that it would "be
undemocratic and unwise for the
three foreign ministers to make
any agreement among themselves
or between them and the gov
ernment of Western Germany to
accomplish a program of remili-
tarization."
The Councils action also in
cluded a recommendation to
Trygve Lie, secretary general OF
the United Nations. that the ~. N.
conduct the plebiscite.

Coach Alex" was so years old.
He was athletic director and head
of Techs physical education de-
partment at his death.
Alexander, the first man to
carry Grid teams to the four
major bowls-Rose, Sugar, Orange
and Cotton-surrendered head
coaching duties to Bobby Dodd
after the 1914 season. He had
been at the helm of Techs foot
ball teams since 1920, when he
succeeded his own coach. the late
John Heisman.
Never able to make the grade
as a player, Coach Alex left little
to be desired as a coach. He held
the Stagg Award, was picked by
rival Southeastern Conference
coaches in 1889 for the Nashville
Banner Award, was named coach
of the year in 1912 and received
the National Touchdown Club
Award in 1948.
Barely Accepted as Student.
Through quirk of fate. the
man who was to bring so much
fame to Georgia Tech almost was
turned away when he tried to
register as a student.
In 1906, the then 16-year- r-old
Bill Alexander from Mud River,
KY, walked into the Tech reg
istrar's Office. The gangling, wide
eyde youngster almost was re-
jected as too young for admission.
But Tech in those days had a
junior division and Alexander got
in. He stayed with the engineer
ing school the remainder of his
life, with time out for overseas
service with the artillery in World
War l.

Heisman. II didn't know what to
do about Alex" Heisman once
said. HE wasn't good enough
to play varsity football, yet he was
a loyal scrub and such a hard
worker he deserved some sort of
reward"
Heisman dreamed up the title
captain of the scrubs" and be-
slowed it on Alexander. After
graduation in 1912, he stayed at
Tech as Heisman's assistant.

head coach was well-sprinkled
