Early NIL Draft
WiihC.anadians

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 20 ~.
The National Football League
win hold part Of It's annual coll
lege player draft two months
early this year In an effort to-
beat the Canadian League to the
cream Of the crop.
Commissioner Bert Bell said
last night that the league will
meet in Philadelphia sometime
between November IA and No

November 28--to make the bonus
pick and select the first three
choices.
Bells announcement IAN e
after q Milwaukee Journal sports
writer quoted an unnamed league
club owner as saying the league
would hold q secret draft meet
ing November 20 because Of
Canadian raids. The unidenti-
fed owner was quoted as saying:
Eve are sick and tired of
Canadian raids on our best coI-
Iege talent. We've had to sit
helplessly by in the past, with
our draft in January, while
Canadian clubs swooped down
in late November or December
and plucked on, or at least ap-
preached. the cream Of the CROP"
win Avoid Lawsuits
Bell rejected the secret-meet-
ing contention, saying, II sent
out a bulletin to club owners
informing them Of the meeting
and specifically stating that an
announcement Of the early draft
would be made to the press at
least two weeks before the date
of the meeting"
He said the main reason for
the early draft would be to offset
the possibilities Of lawsuits be-
tween NIL teams and Canadian
football clubs. He said the meet
ing was not considered q weapon
to combat raids on NIL selec-
lions by Canadian teams, all
though 1t quite obviously is.

Pressure on Bowl Likely
At least four Of the ACC
schools probably would vote to
put pressure on the Orange Bowl
to release a second team for the
Sugar or Cotton. A share OF the
Orange, Cotton or Sugar Bowls
means about $4,000 TO each
team in the Conference. A share
Iof two bowl games would mean

ice Urged to Hold
Alaska Hearing on
Rail Freight Rates

WASHINGTON, lR- Secretary
of the Interior Mckay Thursday
urged the Interstate Commerce
Commission to hold hearing in
Alaska on rail freight rates af-
fecting the territory.
Mckay announced that both he
and Gov. 3. Frank Heintzleman
Of Alaska are giving strong back
ing to the request by Edmund t.
Mansure, administrator Of the
General Services Administration,
that the ICC investigate freight
rates on carload shipments to and
from Alaska.
The complaint said it is a rail
road practice to maintain a dual
set Of freight rates for the trans
continental rail haul Of commod-
tiles destined for Alaska and Ha-
waiian ports
1t contended higher rates shown
in domestic tariffs are applied to
goods shipped to and from Alaska
while export rail rates, which are
substantially lower for many
commodities, are applied to ship
ments 10 Hawaii and most for
eign areas in the Pacific.
Mckay said he and Heintzle-
man both believe ICC action to
abolish the alleged discrimina-
ton would produce a sufficient
reduction in transportation costs
to contribute in an important de-
gree to the further development
Of the territory"
He said reports from Alaska
show widespread interest in the
outcome of the case and added
that a hearing in the territory is
believed necessary to secure a
representative cross section of
Alaskan viewpoints.

The bill, passed by the Senate

Thus he is assured Of three

trade law to June 80, 1858, plus
new authority to reduce tariffs in
5 per cent stages in each year of
the extension. These reductions

DAVID LAWRENCE

LONDON, May 25.-The
Communist strategy in the
British election campaign may
prove of far more i'm
portance in the long run
than the outcome of the
elections themselves. For the
Communists are waiting to pick
up the pieces If the Socialist
Labor Party is defeated, as
seems likely.
Outwardly the Communist
Party is running candidates in
only II districts out of $50.
In most of the other districts
they have given instructions
openly to their followers to
support the Socialist Labor
Party candidates. The under
ground tactics, however, in
several districts are to sup
port the Conservatives. The
object, of course, is to bring
about a Conservative victory
but by the narrowest Of mar
gins possible. Curiously enough,
the Liberals-or third party
have put new life into their
campaign and are running
more than 100 candidates.
This may cut down some of
the majority of the Conserva-
tives because, in a three-cor-
nered race, the Conservatives
stand to lose some votes to the
Liberals.
Thus, the middle-of-the-
road approach has been given
impetus with the cry that the
Socialist Labor Party and the
Conservative Party each rep
resent extremes and that the
best way is to vote liberal"
so as Ito tame the Tories
(Conservatives)" by holding
down their parliamentary ma
jority.
Very little is being said in the
campaign about the Commu-
mist tactics, though 1t is con-
coded that the moment the
election is over a big battle
will start inside the Socialist
Labor Party between the So
called right wing" and left
wing" factions. The latter is
headed up by Aneurin Bevan,
who has been slamming away
without restraint at the Con-
servatives. In one speech he

guise of promoting neutral

The Soviets are not now ne

anticipation of regaining
strength.
Two things must therefore
be avoided: To give way in a
universal stampede for friendly
relations at the cost of turning
Western Europe into, effective
ly, power vacuum, and/or
adopting a position of too great
rigidity.
The future will belong to
those states and societies with
the greatest staying power.
There is no reason, at the
moment, why we should try to
intensity the troubles that
Communist regimes have Gre
ated for themselves.
But there is even less reason
why we should pull their chest
nuts out of the fire.
Were the situation reversed
we would get no quarter from
the Soviets.

nature of things" it is easier
for the Labor government to
handle this sort of situation,
in close consultation with the
trade union congress and to
insure better discipline and
loyalty to negotiated agree
ments, than the Tories.
The spectacle of a right
wing member of the Socialist
Labor Party telling his con-
stituents that his party can
handle the Communists better
than the Conservatives brings
smiles to the Communists, who
hope to produce more strife
by keeping the large number
of union members in a con-
slant battle with other unions,
especially over jurisdictional
matters. Thus. the moderate
Communist union leaders
are caught in the middle.
They find their greatest OBJ
stacle is the lack of interest
among the rank and file who
fail to attend local meetings
and hence permit the Commu-
nists to rig all sorts of maneu-
vers with which the majority
do not really agree.
The Conservatives have been
trying to avoid getting into a
campaign argument about the
current strikes which threaten
both the docks and the rail-
roads. The Labor Party speak
ers nevertheless are whisper
ing that the Conservatives are
preparing legislation to re-
strict the right to strike. One
veteran union leader, Sir Will
Lawther, former head of the
coal miners, remarked that the
recent wildcat strikes have
done the Socialist Labor
Party's chances of winning
this election more harm than
anything the Conservatives
could do.
There are rumors that, if
the Conservatives get a COM
Portable majority, they will be
inclined to put some curbs on
Communist activities in Brit
ain. For here is a democracy
which doesn't see many per-
sons openly aligned with the
Communist Party but suffers
grievously nevertheless as a
result of the mischief pro-

had to accept the assurances
given him by Yugoslavia's
Ambassador Leo Mates with
a diplomatic glow" of opti-
mism. There is no point at
this time in questioning Mar
shall Tito's official protesta-
tons of friendship.
But reports from Yugoslavia
itself paint a picture contra
dieting the official statements
from Belgrade and its repre-
sentatives in the United States.
The ruling class in Yugo-

900 individuals who gathered
around Tito during the war
and helped him establish him
self as President of the repub-
lie, feel that they cannot have
any future while solidly linked
to the West. Most of these
party members are convinced
that a Communist country
has as much chance of sur
viving within the Western bloc
as a fish on shore" "A fish"
they say. "can live on land
only a short time. Then it
must return to the water or
die" And the water" these
men have in mind is the Red
ocean.
Tito did not break with the
USSR. He was kicked out by
Stain because in his youthful
zeal he had become more ma
tionalist than the situation
warranted. After he was read
out of the Moscow bloc, Tito
had to purge some of the new
Communist aristocracy which
had been the backbone of his
power. This was necessary for
his own security and as a sop
to the Western nations which
had accepted him into their
fold without any questions.

Thus the President finds

DORIS FLEESON
Normally Dry Subject Has Become
Sessions Most Explosive Issue

The normally dry subject Of
the Nations highways has
moved up as the most ex-
plosive political situation in
this session Of Congress.
A series of votes in the SEN
aG are about to join the issue
between President Eisenhower
and the Democratic controlled
Congress. 1t has little to do
with the highways themselves
which all agree are needed.
The contest began with the
President trying to have his
highways and eat the cake of
a balanced budget, too. He
proposed to finance roadbuild-
ing for the next 10 years by a
corporate device which would
isolate its costs in some nebu-
lous area outside the budget
and the debt limit structure.
The political charm of this
gimmick is obvious, especially
as the next presidential cleo
ton nears. He could be build
ing highways, which is always
popular. But they would not
interfere with what the G. o. P.
hopes to offer the voters in
1864 balanced budget and
another tax cut.

Byrd of Virginia assail it.
