for it before the match started.
Trabert, too. has complained
Of an ailment before the match
and was treated for a sore right
shoulder. But it apparently
didn't bother him.
Trabert in Top Form.
The American was on his
game and continually kept Hoad
on the defensive by volleying
deep into the backhand corner
when following up a service. He
broke Hoad's service numerous
times but didn't lose his once.
TONY was just too good for
me on the day." Hoad said. HE
returned my service so strongly
that I could not get on top
anyhow.
TONY was always hopping in
on my service and some of his
passing shots just left me for
dead. I will be going to the army
for three months on Wednesday
and will I ever be glad of that
break"
Staleness Is Blamed.
Harry Hopman, Australian
Davis Cup captain, blamed
Hoad's defeat on Staleness.
Lew played as if he had
enough tennis for awhile" Hop
man said. He has played won-
derfully well and it is not sur
prising that he should feel that
he has had enough for the time
being. think this can be said
without detracting from Tony's
splendid win"
Trabert. who has in the past
fortnight beaten both of Aus
tralian's challenge round singles
players in straight sets, said he
thought he played we'll up to his
challenge round form.
Ken Rosewall, who has beaten
Trabert in the semifinal round.
commented: "Trabert's return of
service was the story. Tony just
clubbed them down at Lewis feet
and Lew never got a chance to
take the initiative"

New Rules 10 Permit
Tennis Amateurs 10
Hold Sports Jobs
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 8. - The
controversial rule that prohibits
an amateur tennis player from
working for a sporting goods
firm will be tossed out when the
United States Lawn Tennis AS
sociation holds it's annual meet
ing here next Saturday, the AS
sociated Press learned today.
Thus, from now on, the United
States will be able to compete
on even terms with the rest of
the world. This will be one of
the most radical rule changes
in the history of the USLTA,
which has been under fire for
many years for its sacrosanct
attitude toward amateurism.
The entire amateur code of
the organization will be elimi-
mated, and in it's place the rules
of the International Lawn Ten
mis- Federation will be substi-
tuted. The international group
permits amateurs to work for
sporting goods companies. Un-
til now the United States was
the only country which prohibits
it's players from holding these
jobs.
TwO-Year Rule Rejected.
This question came up at last
years meeting, but instead of
immediate action, the problem
was turned over to a committee
for study.
An official of the USLTA said
that a resolution was drawn up
specifying that a player who
had reached the age Of 81 and
had been working for a sport
ing-goods outfit two years. would
be eligible. But when the presi-
dents of the Is sectional Or
ganiZations Of the USLTA met
in secret session September 2,
they decided to eliminate the
two-year employment stipula-
ton.
"At first" the USLTA official
said. there was feeling that
/ if a player worked for a sport
ing-goods company for two
/ years. he would be serious in
the work and not be merely a
front man. Then, it was decided
that if the two-year stipulation
were kept in effect. it would de-
prive many of the tournaments
of young players.
Strangely, the sporting goods
companies were all for the two
year rule.
Far-Reaching Effects.
The effects of the new rule
could be far-reaching. Until
now. there was no incentive for
youngSter to take tennis Sc
riously. He had to have some
sort Of an independent income
since he was permitted only ex-
penses and a living allowance
in tournaments. II he was
knocked out in an early round,
he received nothing.
Now, If he is working for a
sporting goods company and
the cream of the crop is sure to
be gobbled up-he will be able
to concentrate on his game and
also know where his next meal
is coming from.

SYDNEY, Jan. 9.-Tony Ira
bert's smashing straight set
victory over Lew Hoad at
Adelaide today to win the South
Australian Tennis championship
shook this country's Davis Cup
complacency to the very roots.
The Sydney Daily Mirror
streamered the news with the
large black headline "Trabert
Pulverizes Lew Hoad" and added
THE result shows how easily
Australian could have lost the
Davis Cup after the doubles
flasco."
The Sydney Sun greeted the
news Of Trabert's convincing
Ga, 60, GO triumph with
the headline "Hoad Blasted OF
Court as U. S. Star Wins Title"
Tony May Be Best.
Trabert'S triumph refutes Aus
tralian claims after the Davis
Cup that young Hoad had
proved himself the worlds best
amateur player. It throws an
entirely different light on the
Davis Cup picture.
Australians felt the Cup secure
in their hands after the victory
by 19-year-olds Hoad and Ken
Rosewall. But you can never
count out the country with the
best amateur player in the world,
which Trabert may be.
Trabert now is favored to win
the Australian National title
here beginning January 81, and
probably will be top choice to
take the coveted Wimbledon
crown next summer.

SceIbo Challenges Communists
Tough Italian Premier Relies or Peoples Loyalty
In Ordering Breakdown on Party Of ,000,O
Constantine Brown

Italy's tough Premier Mario
Scelba has taken the bull by
the horns in deciding to have
o showdown with the Italian
Communists. They, as In other
countries. are following Mos
cows orders In the efforts to
overthrow constitutional gov
eminent by force.
Signor Scelba. who ordered
. q breakdown on Communists
last Friday, may be less astute
In world affairs than Italy's
elder stateman, Alcide de Cas-
peri. But he easily matches
In toughneSs his Communist
opponents, Palmiro Togliatti
and his chief lieutenant. Luigi
Longo, the commander Of the
organized Communist goons in
Italy.
When Scelba became min
lister Of interior In the first de
Gasperi cabinet he found the
police force completely de-
moralized and infiltrated. And
worse, he discovered that the
carabinieri. the famous Ital-
ian military police with a long
tradition of loyalty and incor-
ruptibility. had also been in
filtrated. Many members Of
that famed police force were
card-c arrying Communists.
Scelba improved the situation
and added to the internal Sc
curity forces his own tough
special police known as the
"celeri."
Each member Of the new
force is a walking arsenal with
an automatic rifle, pistol. two
hand grenades, two tear gas
grenades, a nasty looking dag
ger-probably for use when all
the ammunition has been ex-
hausted and a blackjack.
They are swift moving units
and obviously highly efficient.
from what this reporter was
able to see in Rome last fall.
Nobody can foresee the con-

sequence OF SignOr Scelba's
throwing down the gauntlet to
the Communists. The fact
that more than 35 per cent Of
the italian population votes
the Communist ticket does not
necessarily mean that it has
actually espoused the Com
n1unist cause. The advantages
the Muscovite party offers
those who join 1t account for
much Of that voting.
There are Communist con-
trolled cooperative stores
where card-carrying members
can purchase consumer goods
at a lower price than in ordi-
nary stores. This is made pos
sible by the large cash subsi-~
dies which the Italian Commu-
mist Party receives from Mos
COW. Many Italians are glad
to cast their vote for Togliatti's
candidates in exchange for
cheaper food and clothing.
There is, however, a hard
core of nearly 100000 Com
munists who obey unflinching-
ly all orders from the party's
headquarters. They are ready
to provoke strikes and dis
turbances whenever political
necessities demand them. This
core is backed by some $4,000
shock troops whose job is to
create riots and fight govern
ment forces. They are well
armed with weapons obtained
during the war from the
United States, when they fought
MuSsolini under the guise Of
resistance groups, or with
Soviet weapons sent by the
Kremlin Immediately after the
war packed in cases labelled
agricultural m achinery."
These were dispatched under
diplomatic immunity to the
Soviet military mission in
northern Italy. Up to last year
the police and the carabinieri
had not been able to unearth
more than a few arms caches.
Signor Scelba knows better
