 Macarthur, writing in the Am erican Legion magazine, particu- larly mentioned Universal Mill tary Training as program over which civilian direction should be paramount.
 Congress already has laid the groundwork for UNIT. Further legislation needed to put it into effect is scheduled to come before the lawmakers early next year, Policy control of the training would be under the direction of a five-man commission, three of whom must be civilians.
 Macarthur said the program for expansion of the armed forces and UNIT, "while intended and designed to strengthen freedoms defense, carries within itself the very germs of freedoms destruc- tion."

 The 56th and last broken, charred body was dragged from the nose of the smashed plane this morning. Rescue workers halted operations after midnight and resumed when daylight came.

Declares State Dept. Not Backing Up Eisenhower

WASHINGTON, (R- Senator Young R-ND) aid today the Western European defense pro- gram is tagging and possibility of failure "isn't going to do General Eisenhower any good politically"
 Predicting that Senator Taft will be the 1852 Republican presi- dential nominee, Young said he thinks Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover is going to be held partly responsible for Western Europe's reported slow response to rear1n- ing efforts.
 Young said the longer Eisen- hover waits to make his inten- tions known, the stronger Taft's bid for the nomination will grow
 "I don't blame Eisenhower for what is happening in Europe,' Young told reporters. "He is doing a good job. It is the State De- partment that is falling down"
 Young, back from a European trip, criticized the French, Ital- ians 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 ap. preciation of American aid thar any other country he visited.

Britain Eases
 Buying and Selling Of Foreign Monies

LONDON, NF1 - Britain eased her iron-handed control over the buying and selling of foreign monies Saturday with the aim of restoring world confidence in her own weakened currency.
 The Bank of England author ized private individuals to trade British pounds for foreign money - including the dollar - subject only to a government limitation on the prices.
 For 12 years the bank itself has handled all dealings in other currency - always at the official exchange rates.
 The action which relaxes but does not end exchange control re- strictions, was regarded as small first step by Britain to let the Pound find it's real value on the money markets of the world.
 The official dollar value of the British pound remains at S2.80 and the official price of gold re- mains begged at $35 per fine ounce.
 Dealers buying or selling for eign monies for immediate use will be able to swing their prices anywhere between $2.77 and $2.83-getting the best price they can.

Judge Thomas F. Murphy Appointed
 To Sweep Wrongdoers Out of Govt.

NEW YORK, (P - Federal Judge Thomas F. Murphy, an old hand at investigations, has accep- ted an assignment from President Truman to sweep wrongdoers out of the federal government.
 The jurist, who prosecuted the governments perjury case against Alger Hiss, will direct non- partisan commission designed to take action against public offic- ials who betray their trusts.
 Protections for honest office holders also will be set up by the commission.
 Murphy, a Democrat, will be given a free hand to direct the job as he sees fit. He will be re- sponsible only to the chief exec utive.
 In Washington, reports per sisted that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover would play a key role, along with Murphy.
 MT. Truman told reporters that Hoover would continue in his present job as "this country's chief law enforcement officer" thus strengthening expectations that the FBI itself, in collabora- ton with other agencies, would have a great deal to do with whatever investigation is con- ducted.

Three Basketball
Sturs To Make
Crack Ends

BY DON EDWARDS

The will to participate
has prevailed over the
Conch Gridsters from Key
West High School. With
every practice. players are
forming. plays are being
run with accuracy and pass
receiving has literally
jumped to a peak that will
develop one Of the strongest
Conch attacks.
The boys just won't
quit" is how head Coach
Winston Jones put 1t. !
put them through their
PAGES for a two hours period
and they want to keep on
running"
Thirty-eight boys are now 60
ing through preliminary drills
in trying out for the High School
varsity football squad. Two ses-
sions are being held daily. A
morning session is being devoted
to blackboard drills and the after
noon to conditioning and learning
of plays.
The practices have featured
plenty of running and leg and
stomach exercises. Many boys
reported in better condition for
the preliminaries because they
held down manual labor jobs this
summer, according to Jones.
All indications show that the
Conch's main strategy for the
initial football year will be aerial
attacks. The decision to en-
phasize the passing was not hard
to make for the mentors. Three
basketball stars, all well over six
feet, reported for the end slots
and have shown great deal of
ability in the. capacity of crack
ends.
Bob Cooper, 6-foot-2. senior,
has the. specially OF pass receiv-
ing. His sturdy 1855 pound frame
is capable of going into the air for
snaggs. Cooper and
e7l James Baker, six foot two,
$50 pounds, have the weight be-
hind them to do some expert
blocking and smashing. Other
candidates that fill out the end
crew are Don Cruz, fast l48 pound
defensive player. Cruz stands
five feet eleven inches. John Car
bonsll, a freshman, is another one
of the ends that may develop into
one of the top pass snaggers. He
weighs 152 pounds and is six feet
tall. Ralph White, a sophomore
that stands SO" has wonderful de-
fensive ability. Ralph Plameia is
a freshman whose height is SIP.
He is another defensive player.
The largest and most needed
Improvement the ends could
stand is to be able to: do some
hard blocking on tackles and be
strong enough to smash In de-
fensive play. The end strong
points on the squad are good pass
receivers with plenty of height.
AT the same time, the hardest
of all defenses in football is be-
ing run at County Beach. Pass
defense, with the linesmen work
ing on blocking, will surpass its
mark soon. The only holdback
at present is the reserves. All of
them are either freshman or
sophomoreS and haven't the
equalling weight as the starters.
The coaching staff is now
optimistic due to the fine spirit
