|KnoWland )! Says He's
Ready 10 Fight Taft
For Floor Leader Job
BY the Assoeio.ed Pres.

Senator Knowland of California
made clear yesterday he would
not hesitate to buck Senator Taft
LOT Ohio for Republican floor leader
in the new Senate.
The leadership post now is held
|by Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire. who has said only the threat
|of trough and tumble fight" for
the job among fellow Republicans
could induce him to try for it
again.
Senator Bridges took the post
last year in the role of a neutral
between rival Senate supporters
Iof Gen. Eisenhower and Senator
Taft for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination.
Race Wide Open, Says Taft.
In an interview in Cincinnati
yesterday. Senator Taft declined
to say whether he would be inter-
ested in the floor leaders job in
the incoming Republican Senate
if Senator Bridges steps aside. He
called the race wide open"
Senator Taft now is chairman
LOT the potent Senate Republican
Policy Committee but there has
been some speculation that he
might want to shift to the post
of floor leader. ,
Senator Knowland told a re-
porter, however. that he has heard
nothing to indicate that Senator
Taft would seek the post. He was
asked if he would give UP his
candidacy for the job if Senator
Taft should seek the position.
mo" Senator Knowland re-
lplied II stand on the statement
I made yesterday" He said then
he was a candidate for floor leader
unless Senator Bridges wished to
continue in the post. The leader
is chosen by a conference of all
Republican Senators.
Dirksen Mentioned.
Senator Knowland is a close
associate of Senator Taft, but in
the pre-convention maneuvering
for the Republican presidential
nomination he supported Gov.
Earl Warren Of California, who
first appointed him to the Senate.
Senator Dirksen of Illinois, who
served as Senator Taft's campaign
manager in Illinois. is another
who has been currently mentioned
for Republican floor leader. He
said yesterday he would decide
this week whether to be a candi-
date. First he will confer with
Senator Taft and other Senators.

Slotted to Become
BUDGET Director

Joseph M. Dodge. the fiscal ad-
wiser to President-elect Eisen-
hover, likes Army brass and a
hard dollar.
He will find it easy to get along
with Gen. Eisenhower: getting a
firmer dollar may be more difficult.
But Mr.. Dodge already is bur-
rowing through. the Budget
Bureau, looking for infiationary
flaws in the budget which Presi-
dent Truman will send to Con-
gress just before he leaves the
White House.
Mr.. Dodge knows what he is
looking for. He has spent 43
years in banking-and a good part
of that time trying to fight infia-
ton. either in the United States
or overseas.

He started as bank messenger

|1920s, he was a bank examiner
for the State of Michigan. Once
he examined the Bank of Detroit.
run by the late Senator James
Couzens.
After Mr.. Dodge completed the
examination, Senator Couzens
called him in and said:
Young man, you seem to know
your job and how to run bank.
How would you like to run this
one?"
Mr.. Dodge was appointed oper-
ating officer for the bank and
now is president Of the 102-year-
old institution, which employs
1896 persons. He also became
president of the American Bank
ers Association.
AS such. he attacked the Demo-
cratic administration for meas
ures which he felt encouraged in
flation. But the New Deal and
Fair Deal used his talents anyway.
Adviser to Gen. Macarthur.
In 1943. he was chairman of
the Joint War Contract Renego-

Arkansas Legislature
To Consider Custer
OF Athletic Director
BY the Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Dec. 16.-
The State Legislature, which con-
venes next month. will pass upon
the State Legislative Councils
move to abolish the athletic di-
rector's job at the University Of
Arkansas. now held by John
Barnhill.
The council voted to abolish the
job yesterday after being told that
strife in the athletic department
was responsible for a losing toot-
ball team. The recommendation
was made in the form of a motion
which became an amendment to
the university's proposed biennial
budget.
At Fayetteville, Barnhill issued
this statement:
| Il have been with the University
of Arkansas since 1916 doing
everything l know how to better
the athletic situation and
when the people in authority feel
that I should resign, I will"
He didn't say whether he con-
sidered the Legislative Council or
only the Board of Trustees as
people in authority"
Charges Strife.
Representative Paul Van Dalsem
of Perry County. author of the
motion. said every man here
knows there's been strife" within
the university's athletic depart
ment. He added:
The feeling between the ath-
letic director and the coach has
been so strong that it just tore
up the football team"
+ Van Dalsem apparently referred
4 to Coach Otis Douglas, who has
resigned after a season of two VIC
tories and eight defeats.
The situation, the Perry County
representative said, calls for Barn.
I'LL ICAAONdi
. Sees Bearing on Bryant.
Van Dalsem. without elaborat-
ing. also said that action on the
athletic dictatorship might have
a bearing on whether or not Paul
(Bear) Bryant, repeatedly the
top choice to succeed Douglas.
would be willing to leave Ken
lucky to take the Arkansas foot
ball coaching position.
Little Rock friends of Bryant
previously quoted him as saying he
would be happy to have Barnhill
as athletic director.
Barnhill, a longtime assistant
land wartime head football coach
at the University of Tennessee.
came to Arkansas in 1916 as both
mead coach and athletic director.
He gave up coaching to become
full-time athletic director follow
ing the 1949 season.
During Barnhills four years as
coach Arkansas won Southwest
Conference co-championship and
played in the Cotton and Dixie
Bowls.

With the High Schools

A couple of priests built couple
OF makeshift baskets so Coach Boil
Dwyer could build basketball
team at new Archbishop Johr
Carroll High School.
| And Dwyer is building. The
sophomore team isn't expected te
set the Metropolitan Catholic

seniors. Gonzaga and st. Johns

IF we ever get our baskets,
Dwyer laughs. I'VE can't do any
fast work with our makeshift ones
nor can we have any team in fol-
Ia scrimmage. But still. we car
shoot at them and don't know
what would have done without
them"
Father James McNalley, athletic
director, and Father William De-
vine, since transferred to Malvern

up added protection in the form

rector of the school and past

have them when school opened a

Stanford says, but there were

lutely going to have them last
summer. Still no baskets. Now
