Defense Program. WesieIn Europe, k Lagging
 Senator Young Says Blame Is Placed on
 State Department

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 = R - Senator Young (D-ND) said today the western European defense pro- gram is tagging and the possibility of failure isn't going to do General Eisenhower any good politically"
 Predicting that Senator Taft R-Ohio) will be the 1852 Republi- can presidential nominee, Young said he thinks Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is going to be held partly responsible for western Eur ope's reported slow response to re- arming efforts.
 Eisenhower, who commands the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces, is being boomed by some Republicans for their party's presidential nomination. The gen. eral hasn't said publicly whether he will run.
 Young said the longer Eisen- hover waits to make his ihten- tions known, the stronger Tafts bid for the nomination will grow.
 T don't blame Eisenhower for what is happening in Europe" Young told reporters. He is doing good job. It is the State Depart- ment that is falling down.
 Young said Taft is his No. 1 choice for the COP nomination and Gov. Earl Warren of California is his No. pick
 Young, back from a European trip, criticized the French, Italians, and British for what he termed their failure to cooperate fully in the military aid program. He said Yugoslavia demonstrated more will to fight and more appreciation of American aid than any other coun- try he visited

Still in the league are Newark,
Lima, Marion and Springfield in
Ohio and Richmond, Ind. Ports
mouth and GAINESVILLE, O., and
Muncie, Ind, are out at the pres

chance major league club will
back either GAINESVILLE or Muncie,
but he declined to give details
of the negotiations. Portsmouth

added.

season Sunday, April p, and

SPORTS
Freshmen Eligible
In Variety Sport

CHICAGO, LAP Freshmen
will be eligible for varsity sports
competition in the Western Con-
ference beginning Sept. |.
Faculty representatives and
athletic directors voted at their
closing two-day session to lift the
ban which he'd been in effect since
1916.
Freshmen we're declared eligi-
bic in 1943 to help make up the
man-power shortage due to the
war. The Big Tens action to re-
store first-year-men to varsity
sports follows the same pattern.
The suspension Of the Fresh
men was lifted for the 1882
period but can be extended if the
situation warrants. Officials said
male attendance at Big Ten
schools may decline as much as 80
per cent next fall because of the
draft of young men into military
service.
