KNOCK Wind Out of St. Johns

I'd rather play the Caps than
st. Johns"
The Caps are no longer around,
of course; Gonzaga did not beat
Tech, and st. Johns was upset
by Coolidge. :.
Kozik, who has fielded a team
in The Star tournament every
year for the last 10 years, says
he will not put himself on limb
by predicting tonight's outcome,
but admits he's a little partial
toward Tech.
What does Usilaner feed those
boys?" Kozik asked. "They never
get tired. Their conditioning
beat us. can give Coolidge some
advice: They can't afford to miss
against Tech. If they do, it will
usually mean basket-for Tech"
1t may have been a different
outcome between st. Johns and
Coolidge had Bill Gaskins played
the entire game. He became Ill
and was taken out after the first
quarter.
To add insult to illness, Gaskins
returned to the dressing room to
find his overcoat missing.
With 10 seconds remaining and
the Johnnies trailing by two
points a foul was called against
them, but nobody, including the
timekeeper heard it. It caused
some confusion. but the last 10
seconds were played out with
Coolidge adding another basket.
The official that called the foul
was Buddy Nau. who played for
Central in the first Star Tourna-
ment in 1888.

POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS-1951

Political mortality higher in 1851 than it has in many years In the first ten months of this year, prominent persons have been victims of assassns French Indo-C China British Malaga, Pakistan Jor- dan, Iran and Lebanon.
 Not so long ago, Mohandas K. Gandhi, of India, fell to assassin and did Count Bernadotte of Sweden who was working in Palestine for the United Nations Puerto Rican extremist attempted the life of President Truman.
 There have been literally scores of assassinations of high officials since World War IT. The Com munsts are directly responsible for some of the kill ings and they have inspired others Natonalists and religious fanatics in some of the backward countries who feel that they cannot wait for legal process to solve their problems, make ideal dupes for the Communists
 Fighting Communists in backward areas involves grave risks including assassination. To tolerate Communism is even risker.

CONGRESS = 1852

There mony indications that the next ses- sion of Congress which commences January 8, 1852, will be of the shortest in years Bth Democratic and Republican leaders in Washington say they want the second session of the 82nd Congress to adjourn in Although this desire is frequently expressed in November and December todays political situation would indicate that the coming session may well be short
 Traditionally, the Republicans meet first in po- tical convention and their concave is scheduled for June of 1852 at Chicago The idea of many leaders in Congress is to seek adjournment in time for G. O. P. members who going to Chicago to get there free from congressional demands Certainly, the strong Taft bloc in Congress will press hard for the early close
 The Democrats are due to meet couple of weeks after the Republicans also in Chicago. If the Democratic picture isn't any clearer than it appears right now a good many Democratic Congressmen will also be eager to get away from Washington by June.

with CARE picked Catholic at torney, John A, zvetina of Chicago who speaks the language and who made a thorough survey of Yugo- slavia last September to see wheth- CT CARE food packages were dis tributed fairly as between Catholic and Catholic, Communist and non- Communist. He returned with a highly favorable report.
 Despite this, it was only natur- al that the continued incarcera- ton of Archbishop Stepinac should rankle many Catholics in this country.
 Tn releasing him, however, Tito faced a domestic problem which, l regret to say, was comparable per haps to that of Senator Russell of Georgia if he were suddenly to re- verse himself and vote for the FEPC for southern Negroes. For in Orthodox Serbia the religious mas sacres that took place under Hitler, and for which Archbishop Steuinac was imprisoned, still cause great bitterness. It is charged that 700,- % Serhs were killed in these church massacres because they refused to desert the Orthodox faith.
 What complicated Tito's political problem was that Serbia is that part of the Yugoslavia confedera- tion where he is least popular, where he has to gain strength rather than lose it. In Serbia, Arch bishop Stepinac has become burn ing, bitter symbol. Thus Tito, while winning friends in the LISA, knew that he would have to make some enemies at home.
 The fact remains that, despite these misunderstanding, Yugosla- via is more vital to the military de- fense of the Vatican than any other country in the world. For, should Red armies take the Adriatic coast of Yugoslavia, it would be only short time before Italy must come under Moscow's wing.

WILSON'S PRODUCTION

Appointment of Roger L. Putnam to the key job of Economic Stabili- ger is the first sign that the White House is getting fed up with De- fense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson; also that Truman is listening to new Democratic Chairman Frank Mckinney.
 Wilson had been telling associates that he would name the new Eco- homie Stabilizer. He was particu- larly anxious to name him because it was the friction between Wilson and Eric Johnston that caused the latter's resignation. Despite this, the President put in his own man.
 Furthermore, the Democrat he named, ex-Mayor Putnam of Spring field, Mass, is a friend of Demo- cratic Chairman Mckinney. The two worked closely together in the office of War Contract Negotiation, both are bank officials, and Putnam is also president of the Package Machinery Co.,, director of the Perkins Machine and Gear Co.,, and the Van Norman Go. He also has the unique distinction of being the sole trustee of the Lowell Ob- servatory of Flagstaff, Ariz.
 The President got to know Char les E. Wilson when he was vice chairman of the old War Produc- tion Board. at which time Truman was chairman of the Senate Invest igating Committee. Wilson, however, didn't have to take the brickbats and the responsibilities Chairman Donald Nelson did. Now that he Is in the No. spot, he hasn't been able either to stand the gaff or get out production.
 Real fact is that U. S. military production is so bad that it can hardly be published.
