Personality" of Team.
Bernie was the motor He's
not the f1ashy type who would
be gobbled up by the pros, even
without a bad knee. He prob
ably will be way down on the
pro draft list, and picked for
defensive purposes when he is
| chosen.
But the senior quarterback
from East Carnegie, Pa, was the
personality" of the team, as
Tatum puts it. He is a brilliant
ballhandler. good enough run
ner to be a threat, a good kicker.
a fair passer, good thinker, a
leader and, above all, great
defensive player. He gave the
team character and leadership.
He's not a holler guy. but he
instilled confidence.
In second-guessing 1t would
appear that Tatum's greatest
mistake was that he never ac-
tually faced the facts when Fa-
loney was injured in the Ala
bama game November 81. Until
Bernie collapsed on his injured
knee last Tuesday in practice.
Tatum was hopeful that Bernie
would play. He had time to
prepare Charley Boxold, almost
as much time as he will have in
spring and fall practice to pre-
pare Boxold for next year. But
Jim harbored the thought that
Faloney would be all right.
Not TactfuI But True.
People here are saying Tatum
should not have muttered,
There goes my team" when
Faloney finally was counted out
last Tuesday. It might not have
been the most tactful remark,
but Jim is not very tactful
guy. He said it because it was
true.
Sure, Oklahoma had an ex-
cuse, too. 1t played for half
without its key man, Gene Ca

half with a shoulder separation.
But Calame, the Sooners' quar-

team a TO lead.

the transfer possible within 60 days after passage of enabling legislation.
 The department has used steel mat in the construction of several airfields in Alaska, and the recent completion of the airfield at Gam bell, Alaska pointed out some of the difficulties and advantages in using steel mat.
 It requires 1000 to 1,500 tons of steel mat for a field which will accommodate DC-3 type aircraft.
 The steel mat itself is laid after base has been prepared. The steel mat is then used as surface for the airfield.
 Steel mat was laid at Gambell, where lack of construction mater ials would have made obstruction impractical on the material avail able and this field is giving ex cellent service.
 A field constructed by the de- partment at Teller with this type mating has been in use for three years and has enabled the airline operators to give service that oth- erwise would have been impos- sible.

 Power contract-The President said the government is perfectly and splendidly protected under the proposed Dixon-Yates power contract with the Atomic Energy Commission. Strongly defending the controversial proposal, Eisen- hover said the Federal Power Commission has declared the con- tract to be proper and fair and the Tennessee Valley Authority has found it satisfactory.
 Taxes-Asked for more definite information regarding his cam paign statements that the admin istration wants to cut taxes fur ther, the, President replied he is not in a position to give any de- tailed picture on that at this time. He went on to say the fiscal situ- ation seems to bar any great re- ductions.
 Eisenhower said he sees some possibility of some more savings in the defense field without en- dangering national security, but he went into no detail.
 National EconomY-Eisenhower said the 100000 reduction in un- employment he reported Monday is the result of general uptrend in the entire economy. He made the remark in response to a ques- tion as to whether the reduction figure was not due to people leaving the labor force, rather than a general upturn in the em- ployment picture.

Nations Living Costs Down 8 of 1%o Since April

WASHINGTON, R-The gov- ernment reported Tuesday that the nations living costs declined three-tenths of one percent in September to the lowest level since last April.
 The Labor Departments Bu- reau of Labor Statistics said its consumer price index dipped to HAY percent of the 194749 aver age. The decline was attributed largely to lower prices for most foods, primarily fresh fruits and vegetables, coffee and eggs.
 The September index compares with last April's 114.6, Mays 1850, June's 115.1, July's 115.2, and August's 1850.

Territory Acquires Mat From Air Command Under New Law

From the Office of the Governor
 Nearly two million square feet of pierced steel plank, commonly known as landing mat, has been acquired by the territory under the new Surplus Property Act passed by the 83rd Congress, Act ing Governor Waino E. Hendrick- son announced Tuesday.
 This is the first transaction completed under the new act, Public Law 659, which permits the Territory of Alaska to acquire property except real estate de- clared surplus by federal agencies or departments. No transfer of funds is required in such acquisi- tionS.
 The landing mat, presently at Cold Bay, is worth between a quarter and half million dollars and was declared surplus by the Alaskan Air Command. Much of it is expected to be used in the Second Division and on the lower KuskokWim River.
 *
 Herman Porter, director of aeronautics, Dept. of Aviation, signed for the Territory of Alaska accepting the steel mat.
 This steel mating will be used over the next three-year period to surface airfields that would otherwise be impractical to con- struct. Tentative plans for the use of this steel mat are being pre- Sented to the Alaska Aeronautics and Communication Commission at their meeting in Nome Oct. 26 for their review and approval.
 Several other territorial agen- cieS have asked for small alloca- tions of this material when it became available.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23.-Ma-

Wrigley. president of the Chicago
Cubs, was quoted as saying to-

Asked if the shift would come
within two years, Wrigley re-
piled, according to the story;
"Oh, much less. It's coming aw.
full fast"
The story also quoted the Cubs
owner:

MatSon was impressive, all

for two touchdowns against the

playing for Fort Ord earlier this

as a rugged fellow, despite a
