Does that mean, if he is NOT elected he will refuse

defeated he will know more no less how to end the

Why tie the 'ff' to his election as prerequisite to
his doing whatever he do bring about peace in Ko-
rea? Will the sting of his defeat stop him from revealing
any plan he may have in mind to end hostities? If it
does stop him. wouldn't it be disgrace to him as an
American citizen? Wouldn't it be disgrace to anybody
in all the land who is running for office including Steven

For two weeks, Truman has been recurrently chal-

Editor, The Citizen
Dear Sir:
A policeman is e1 to be
kind courteous and .erate,
He is expected to be a source Of
information to visitors, protect
them and direct them to any de.
sired part 0f the city.
He is the guardian of the lives
of the citizens and their property
He must be alert at all times,
ready for any emergency, He
must attend accidents and fires,
render first aid, deliver babies,
and be capable of handling any
emergency under the worst Of
conditions.
He must be resoureeful, iRteIl-
igent and understanding. He mus
be prepared to risk his life to pro-
tect the lives and property of the
people. and he stays on his beat
whether ID be hot or cold, wet or
dry.
He must be cheerful and toler-
ant and at the same time show
a determination to do his duty,
When others are with their fam,
lilies, he is on his beat. appearing
in court, delivering a prisoner to
jail or penitentiary, or performing
any one Of the other hundreds OF
duties which are singularly his.
He works Sundays. Christmas
and other holidays, and be spends
bis own time and money to attend
F.B.I. sponsored police academies.
For all Of these and other SER
vices he receives less pay than the
average lahorer, and often after
years Of service he is forced 10
resign because he cannot support
his family on his pitiftllly low
wages.
II is nice to know you have
friend, and we all sleep better when
we know the friendly cop is on
duty protecting US.
Why not show your appreciation
by recommending that his work
ing conditions be improved and
his salary be made commensurate
with the services he renders.

High Scoring Likely
As Kentucky Battles
TCU in Cotton Bowl
By The Assoeiossd Press

DALLAS, Jan. 1.-The Meyer
Spread and Babe Parilli collide
in the Cotton Bowl today and
offensive records Of the football
extravaganza may be in danger.
The weather is expected to be
on the favorable side as Texas
Christian meets Kentucky. The
bowl scoring record is 81 points,
set in 1946 when Texas and Mis-
souri, played, with Texas winning
40-27.
Cold but clear is the forecast.
The Meyer Spread-devised by
Dutch Meyer, coach Of Texas
Christian - is something to see
and it gets it's inaugural in a
bowl game as the sole offensive
formation for one team today.
Parilli. the great Kentucky
passer and wizard at hiding the
ball when he isn't throwing it
already has appeared in bowl
games.
Neither Has Top Record.
Neither team has top season
record-in fact it's. the first time
the Cotton Bowl ever had two
schools that lost four games apiece
but bowl officials think the game
they'll put on will be just the kind
the fans like.
The crowd may not be capacity,
however. While the Cotton Bowl
itself sold all tickets last Novem-
ber. quite a few people have can
celed hotel reservations and will
not attend.
The prospects of cold weather
and the fact that Kentucky had a
flock Of players suffering from the
flu several days ago are reasons
advanced for the possibility that
the usual $4,000 won't be in the
stands. The Kentucky boys all
will be able to play but Coach
Paul Bryant doesn't think they
can be up to standard.
First Meeting for Two Schools.
This game marks the first time
in history for Texas Christian and
Kentucky to meet in any kind Of
athletic contest.
Another thing about today's
game is that the Cotton Bowl
never before had the teams rated
so close that even the odds makers
won't pick one particular team
it's $6 to S. and take your choice.
Parilli. making his last collegi-
ate appearance, takes a great
passing record into the Cotton
Bowl. This season he rolled up
more yards throwing the ball than
the entire Texas Christian team.
Parilli completed 1856 for 1,643
yards in II games.
The four passers for TCU-Ray
McKown, Nal Fowler, Gil Bar
tosh and Bill Doty-combined for
1,443 IN 10 outings.

Sunny weather was promised

Illinois has a good running game
spearheaded by Halfback Ace
Johnny Karras and clever passing
by sensational Sophomore Quar-
terback Tommy O'Connell.
Even more imposing Is the
Illini's defense, hulwarked by Line
backer Chuck Boerio, a defense
equally as effective deep in the
secondary.
Stanford counters with the
pitching of Gary Kerkorian, one
of the top T-formation quarter
backs in college football and the
pass-snagging ability of ALL
America End Bill McColl. The long
gains of Bob Matthias, Olympic
decathlon champion turned full
back star in his first season, posed
another threat.
Illinois Has Speed.
Illinois had the advantage in
speed and all-around defensive
strength. Stanford had weight,
Isize and possibly an edge in aerial
perfection on its side.
