Truman VetOes,
 Censures Proposed Immigration Code

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman vetoed Wednesday a measure overhauling the nations immigration code. He said the bill is infamous.
 The measure was one of the most hotly debated of the 82nd Congress, now drawing to close. Its defenders said it clarified laws that date back to 1798 and safeguarded the American way of life. Its foes said it was immoral and followed the Maxi line of racial superiority.
 The measure runs BOP pages and was co sponsored by Sen. McCarran D-Nev) and Rep. Wal ter D-P0.
 The President, in a seven-page veto message, said the bill came before him "imbedded in a mass of legislation which would per petuate injustices of long stand ing against many other nations of the world, hamper. the efforts we are making to rally the men of East and West alike to the cause of freedom, and intensity the re- pressive and inhumane aspects of our immigration procedures"

Army Rationing Some Ammunition In Korea

WASHINGTON, P)-The De- fense Department says it has been forced to ration some types of ammunition in Korea.
 But the department said such rationing is not an unusual mili- tary situation and does not mean soldiers are without shells.
 A statement issued Monday night said shortages have devel- oped in some types of ammuni- ton because artillery units were authorized to fire at faster rate than in World War II.
 The statement came in answer to a complaint by Rep. Clarence Brown R-Ohio). He read the House a letter from 35 US. sol- diers in Korea saying that be- cause of ammunition rationing Chinese Communists who could be wiped out easily were un- molested.
 Somebody ought to be im- peached, or somebody ought to go to jail, or somebody ought to be courtmartialed," Brown said.

Eager Beaver Tests Ordinary Men, Equipment

OTTAWA, (P - A six-month test of the abilities of average sol diers and machines to work in the frozen northland is nearing a successful end.
 Exercise Eager Beaver, in which Canadian and United States soldiers last January began building two airstrips near the Alaska Highway, has been termed a success, Canada's national de- fense headquarters announced Tuesday.
 The exercise was designed to test men and standard military equipment in country where tenn peratures drop to 65 below zero at times. It also sized up the chances of utilizing the Arctic snow cap for potential military bases.
 About 150 Canadians and 300 US. soldiers from engineering units went to work last January at Kluane Lake, about 125 air miles west of White Horse, VT.
 The Canadians were assigned the job of building an airStrip on the frozen surface of the lake. The US. troops had a tougher task - building a runway over muskeg on the lake shore. Both runwayS are large enough to handle f0ur-engined aircraft.
 One lesson learned was that summer thaWs can buckle and heave the strip on muskeg until it is useless for heavy aircraft.
 Troops with no specialist train ing were used. They were given standard military equipment - adapted but not designed for Arctic use.
 IL was found that men with low blood pressure, foot trouble or poor eyesight requiring glasses had trouble working for any long period.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Tulyar, the
sensational 3-year- -old; his owner,
the Aga Khan, and Jockey Cor
don Richards are the champions
of the 1852 British fiat racing sea-
son.
Tulyar, a gentle, perfect racing
machine, won all his seven races
this year and set an all-time Brit
ish record with earnings of 76,717
pounds ($210,684).
The son of Tehran and Neoc-
racy counted among his successes
the English Derby over the rolling
EPSON Downs, the st. Leger at
Doncaster and the rich King
George vi and Queen Elizabeth
Stakes at Ascot.
His triumphs over all distances
and in all sorts of going, stamped
him as great horse. He is being
kept in training to go for more
rich prizes as a 4-year- old in the
coronation year schedule.
The Aga Khan, who bred Tulyar
himself, topped the winning own
ers' list for the 18th time since he
won his first race in a British
track in 1922. The Moslem poten-
tate also became the leading
breeder Of the year.
Altogether, the Aga Khan'S
horses won 92,518 pounds $685.
05O-a British record-and his
total British turf winnings now
are less than $4,000 pounds short
of a million pounds.
Three of the Aga Khan's former
English Derby winners. Blen-
helm, Bahram and Mahmoud,
were sold to United States turf
men.
Sharing the Tulyar and Aga
Khan triumphs were Trainer Mar
Gus Marsh and Charlie Smirke,
veteran jockey, who rode Tulyar
in all his races.
Marsh easily topped the win
ming trainers list with prize money
of 82,093 pounds ($257, ,860).

old story for Richards.
The 49-year-old horseman won
the award for the 26th time with
