BALTIMORE, Mar. 6.-The
underdogs almost dominated the
first round of the Mason-Dixon
Conference basketball tourna-
ment at Loyola College last
night.
Catholic University was upset
in the first game, 96-76, by
Baltimore q. to keep alive the
jinx which has never allowed
the Cardinals to pass into the
semifinals of this event. When
Hampden-Sydney won the Sec
ond game. 1886, over slightly
favored Roanoke there was a
suspicion that a trend was being
set.
But class told when Mount
st. Mary's, favored to win its
fourth consecutive champion
ship, punished Johns Hopkins,
$3.50. and Loyola squeezed by
American University. 65-63.
The last game was far and
away the best. as might be
judged by the scores alone. 1t
not only was the closest: 1t was
the best played. Even Mount st.
Mary's had trouble in the early
moments against Hopkins, prob
ably the worst team in the
tourney. The Mounts were tired
from their win Monday night
over CCNY in the NCAA small
college Examinations and played
just well enough to be safe.
Tough Loss for CarrascO
AU which had lost to Loyola
by Is and 10 points late in the
season, came up with perhaps its
best showing last night. 1t was
a tough game to lose for Dave
CarraSco. coaching the Eagles
for the first time. but he con-
fessed being at least encouraged
for next year.
The Eagles trailed by 22-9
early, but they strapped their
zone defense and came back to
tie il five times in the second
half On each occasion, however,
Loyola moved ahead again.
The last deadlock came on a
jump shot by Joel Comito to
make 1T 56-all with BIS remain
ing. Paul Dodd and Jerry Komin
threw in two quick ones to give
Loyola another four-point lead.
Then. after the teams had traded
baskets, Carroll Fitzgerald made
a free throw for $3.50. and AU
called time out with Is seconds
left.
The Eagles attempt at a three
point play was delayed when
Jack Benzihg stole the bali for
a layup to make it 65-6e. The
three-point play came at the
final buzzer. by Freshman Eddie
Clements, but, of course. it was
too late.
Jones Steals Show
Frank Weiss lived up to his
circumference selection by net
ting 20 points but the star for AU
was Willie Jones. freshman from
Dunbar High who enrolled in
college only last month. He en-
tered the game midway in the
first half. contributed IL points
and more than any other player
pulled the Eagles from behind
with his ball-stealing and floor
game.

higher gas rates, Congressman
Torbett Macdonald Of Boston
drew from Mr.. Kuykendalla the
fact that the White House had
asked him to prepare new bill,
following the presidential veto of
last years gas bill The Presi.
dents veto followed the exposure
of attempted bribery in getting
the bill through Congress.
Gas Men Draft Bill q. =.
Kuykendall admitted that he
had entrusted the drafting job, to
representatives of the gas men -
producers, pipeline officials and
distributing, systems - but had
never consulted any representa-
tive of consumers, or the 200 ma
Jors who protested last years bill.
To the liberal Senators who are
opposing Mr.. ,Kuykendall, his APP
pointment means increased rates
to consumers of gas and electric
lty which would run well over
billion dollars year, and mis-
management of the great natural
resources of Americas river
basins.
To the gas companies and utili-
ties his appointment means a
friend who understands their
problems and sympathizes, on the
whole.
1t will be remembered that
some years ago the oil, gas and
electric power interests succeeded
in preventing the reappointment
of another Chairman of the FPC,
Leland Olds, who established the
reputation of being one of the
most predetermined and efficient
public servants the government
ever had. The issue was the same
regulation of the natural gas in
dustry. Although Olds was not
confirmed for reappointment,
Congress finally enacted into law
the principles for which he stood.
1t is these principles that the
same interests now wish to erase
from the law.

Fight Battle

There aren't many Americans
who know who Jerome K. Kuy-
kendall is. But the Senate knows,
and when Kuykendall's name
comes up for confirmation to the
post of chairman of the Federal
Power Commission, the noises
will be loud and long. President
Eisenhower has reappointed- Kuy-
kendall to fill the job he has held
since 1853.
Confirmation, or refusal OF the
Senate to confirm, could mean a
considerable difference in the gas
and electric light bills of a great

Egg Production
Helped By Cage

Many commercial egg -produc-
ers now keep their laying hens il
individual cages rather than
housing them in groups on the
floor. Poultrymen of the State
needed definite information on
the advantages of the two sys-

Two houses were built at tina

mona for use in the study, each
with a capacity of 500 hens. All.
conditions were as near identical
as possible except that cages were
used in one house and not in the
other.
The initial cost, requirements,
results in more uniform egg pro-
duction, overall mortality, less
pounds of feed, and labor income
for the first years operation was
in favor of cages.

worlds population has been grow
ing about 43 million year - or

per cent yearly results from a
birth rate of "a babies per 1000

of 19 per 1000 yearly.
It estimated the WORLDS popu-
lation in mid-1955 at 1851 900, OOU.

Greaf Issues Involved ;.

Grsaf Issues Involved
The issues involved are truly
important. Mr. Kuykendall, as a
loyal Eisenhower man, has es-
poused the cause of the great priv
ate utilities, which wish to end
the competition of low-cost pow
er generated at dams owned by
the federal government, other
public agencies, and REA cooper
stives, as. well as steam and hy-
Fdro plants owned by some munich
palities, especially in the West.
The liberals don't want to end
low-cost public. "yardstick" pow
er, which has been one Of the
chief means in holding private
company rates down to reason
able levels.
That Mr.. Kuykendall should
be inclined toward the side of the
private corporations is quite nat
ural. He opposes such develop
ments as the Tennessee Valley
Authority, and the high federal
dam proposed for Hells Canyon
in the Snake River. AS a lawyer
he represented some of the large
private utilities in the Pacific
Northwest before he was appoint
ed by former Governor Arthur
Langlie to the Washington State
Public Service Commission. Lang
lie was an avowed foe of the Hells
Canyon project.
Private Power Preferred
The commission of which Mr..
Kuykendall is the head granted
licenses to the Idaho Power Co.
to build three low dams in the
Snake River in the Hells Canyon
site, despite the findings of the
commission examiner that the
high federal dam would be much
the superior project.
The Hells Canyon dam was the
big issue upon which Northwest
Democrats were swept into office
last November, so the reappoint-
ment of Mr.. Kuykendall is charg-
ed with political plutonium.
But the FPC, in addition to be-
ing charged with the regulation OF
rates on electric energy which en-
tiers into interstate commerce, has
the responsibility for regulating
the rates on natural gas crossing
state lines. This is about half Of
the natural gas produced.
He does not believe that the
price of natural gas should be
regulated at the wellhead, and
he thinks that the FPC should be
permitted to fix the rates on gas
at its own discretion, without ref
erence to the cost of producing
it, if they thought that irrelevant.
