PHONE CALLS SHOULD BE RESERVED NOW

The cooperation of Alaskans who are planning holiday sea- son telephone calls to the states was requested today by Colonel M. R. Kunitz, com manding officer of the ACS.
 Col. Kunitz stated that an advance call reservation is the best assurance that the call will be completed during the period when tremendous vol ume of requests often exceeds the available facilities and may result in disappointments to those persons who fail to make reservations.
 Patrons are requested to con tact the local ACS office at the earliest possible date for reservations. Even with the filing of an advance reserva- tion, patrons are cautioned that no positive assurance can be given that their calls will be promptly handled at the re- served time due to the extreme ly heavily loaded circuit con- ditions that may exist through out the U. s. during the holi- day season.
 Telegraph patrons may file holiday telegrams early for Christmas or New Years Day delivery Suggested greeting texts are available at the lo- cal ACS office.
 Business hours at the local ACS office are from 800 a. m. to 500 p. m. daily except Sun days and holidays when the office is open from 100 p. m. to 500 p. m. Holiday hours will prevail on Monday. De- cenIber 26.

Clement At.lee's retirement as leader of the British Labor party involves a great deal more than the mere selection of successor. which will in it. self be a noisy fight.
 More important in ttihe long nun will be whether the new leader can preserve the tenuous threads which hold the moder- ate and left wing sections of the party together.
 Several times the theological schism between the two fac tions has threatened a final split. Aneurin Bevan, left wing leader, has been constantly shooting at the party's leader ship and trying to take it him. self. Attlee's pro-American at- titude and his non-radical SOC iasm were anoathema to Bevan who will now try once again, although apparently without great hope of success, to grab the reinS.
 Attlee will go down in his tory as the man who engineer ed the welfare state for Brit ain. Despite Bevan, and despite very great difficulties with some failures. he did it in fair ly orderly fashion. He. overes- tignated the willingness of the voters to assume the necessary expenses of his various health and industrial standardization programs, and they turned con servative after his six years as prime minister. But he was looked upon, even by Winston Churchill in the periods when there was no heated political battle, as a '1good man" During the war, he and Churchill pre- sented an amazingly united front against Britain's enemies.
 Hugh Gaitskill, regarded by many as Attlee's most likely successor, is a youngish intel lectual who is about as far re- moved from Bevan as 8 social list can be. Tn person and poli- tics he is not very far from the more Liberal members of the conservative party. Where Al tlee was sometimes willing to compromise his own views and suibrnerge his own personality in order to keep peace with Bevan, it is hard to see how Gaitskill can do So.
 On this particular point, Her bert Morrison, another leading candidate, might do better. 1 Morrison is a genial man, more than any of the others, reminds one of an American labor lead- ar. But he is gettipg along in years, and many party stal warts feel the times require a youuger man to meet the flexi- ,ility demonstrated by the con since their return to

remarked as a small French car darted
in front of us. There are no stop
signs, few traffic lights and not many
gendarmes directing traffic The car
on the right has the right of way. That
means he can come barreling out into a
main street from an alley and the cars
on his left have to STOP They don't
seem to have many accidents. SO I guess
it works.
We noticed our driver an airman

The Terps might concentrate
on Holup, who scores most Of his
points from close to the basket.
There's not much chance of
stopping Deylin if the one-hand

It takes Maryland,s top three
scorers to average ~ points, Bob
Kessler with 20 plus and Bob
O'Brien and Bob Everett with q
fraction over Is each. O'Brien
has built his average on q late

Joe Petkavich is the CIV
player with the greatest scor-
ing potential behind Devlin and
