NY. Reporter Is

JERSEY CITY, N. J., lR - Col umnist Marie Tore, who entered Hudson County jail 10 days ago with tears in her eyes, came out smiling today.
 The 34-year-old mother was sentenced to the jail for con- tempt. She refused to disclose the source for an item she wrote about singer Judy Garland.
 Thanked by her father and her husband, she waved to newsmen as she stepped through the big bronze and glass doors of the jail
 Miss Garland is suing the Co., lumbia Broadcasting System for remarks an undisclosed CBS exec utive allegedly made about her to Miss Tore.
 The U. s. District Court judge who sentenced Miss Torre, a New York Herald Tribune columnist, said he had no recourse under the law but to send her to jail.
 If Miss Tore is asked again to disclose the name of the execu- tive, and if she again refuses, she may have to go back to prison.
 When coming out of jail today, she said she wouldn't have missed this for the world" But she de- cIined to say whether she would again refuse to disclose the exec utiVe's name.

Alaska Weather Will Surprise
 Many People In the States

WASHINGTON, LR - The Wea- ther Bureau today reported that the coldest early morning tenn perature in the United States was one degree below zero at Houlton, Maine Not so, however. Actually the coldest reading was 35 below at McGrath, Alaska.
 So far the Bureau hasn't begun wrapping Alaskan data into it's national weather summaries. The office which prepares the sum- maries promised, however, that the 18th state soon will be given recognition.
 The delay has been caused by lack of a weather teletype circuit from Alaska to the summary of flee. This circuit comes into some other weather offices in Washing ton and officials said it probably will be extended to the summary office within month or two.
 Meanwhile, the daily report on the coldest temperature won't be

hasn't relaxed his demand for

he intends to remain home in

Terps at Peak
For Defense
OF ACC Title
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star STAFF Writer


Star STAFF Writer
Maryland is going to have
one distinction in the Atlantic
Coast Conference basketball
tournament starting Thursday
at Raleigh, N. C. The Terps
undoubtedly will be the most
respected team with a TT con-
ference record ever to compete
in it.
After his Terps toyed with
South Carolina, 75-45, in their
regular-season finale last night
at Cole Field House, Coach Bud
Millikan said he believed the
boys were ready mentally.
In fact, he almost agreed
that this club, even with it's
1912 record for the season,
might have a superior mental
attitude than the one that won
the title last year. This team
has come back, looks sharp,
and is playing the basketball
expected of it in December.
Await PairingS
Millikan will not know Mary
lands 1irst-round pairing until
Sunday. Tonight's North
Carolina Duke and South
Carolina-Virsinia games prob
ably will create ties for third
and fifth places, and the pair
ings will be made tomorrow in
Raleigh after a draw. Mary
land could play either Virginia,
Wake Forest or Clemson in the
first round, and be in either
the top or bottom bracket. The
Terps are fourth, but could tie
for third.
Maryland's defense has be-
come positively tenacious. The
Gamecocks didn't get a clear
shot all night, and with it's
man-to-man defense as sharp
as it is now, Maryland would be
troublesome for any team in
the country.
Mcneil Top Scorer
Charlie Mcneil had 81 in the
first half, and he appeared
headed for a Cole Field House
record. But he took only two
shots in the second half, partly
because South Carolina dou-
ble-teamed him, and went out
with the rest of the regulars
with 6l2 minutes remaining.
Mcneil added four free
throws in the second half for
Is points, So in his last two
games, and fell one basket
short of a l5-point average
| for the season.
Maryland continued its over
powering rebounding, grabbing
As of the boards to 81 for the
Gamecocks. Jim HaIleck was
timing the rebounds nicely and
tied AL Bunge for tops with 10.
The Maryland Frosh lost
their eighth straight and ninth
against three victories, to Fort
Myer, 60-56, despite another

Have Hot Streak
The men who broke Loyola's
back, for example, were angu-
