Rams Solid Favorite
Against Green Bay
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 14.-Los
Angeles Rams will face the Green
Bay Packers as two-touchdown
favorites in the National League
football game here Sunday.
But victory will mean little
to the Rams unless their neigh
bors to the north. the San Fran
cisco 49ers, topple the Detroit
Lions.
A win here. 49er win there,
would give the Rams either clear
title to the National Conference
or at least a tie with the Chicago
Bears if the Bears whip the Chi
cago Cardinals.
Disposing of the Packers comes
foremost, and it could be on the
difficult side II Green Bay plays
as it did against Los Angeles last
October in Milwaukee. Green
Bay held the vaunted Ram attack
scoreless for the better part of
three quarters before succumb-

adding, II just wish San Francisco
was ready to take Detroit. too"
Los Angels will be playing

 He said, however, it will not be as drastic as originally believed by territorial delegates from AL aska and Hawaii.
 When Whitten, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, first raised the question he said he would ask that all such pay ments be banned to government employees who are hired within the territories. He said his pro- posal would not affect payments to persons recruited in this coun- try for government employ in the territories.
 My present thinking on the matter" he said would be to con- tinue payments only in such areas where the cost-of-living is reflect ed in local government or munici- pal salaries"
 The Mississippi congressman said he has "no desire to hurt anyone" and merely wants to overcome what he described as administrative shortcomings"
