Bob are contained in the Husky swimming brochure . . . Salem's 1951
spring training sortie at Napa, Cal., won't amount to the first time the
Senators have tried California for the pre-season tuneups. The first
club herev in 1940, had the good fortune that is in spending the spring
grind in Santa Barbara only a few blocks away from the balmy
seashore. All camps have since been held in Oregon, with the except
ion of a brief stay at San Jose in 1946, the first year the Beavers
owned the Salems . , . Two of the reasons why Hugh Luby picked
Napa: (1) It is expected that transportation costs for many of the
players will be small, inasmuch as they reside in that area. (2) An
exhibition schedule with other pro clubs can be worked up, which will
help offset the cost of spring training . . .
The Little Car How It Did Get Around
This could be the short story of the little red wagon. Only
the wagon playing the feature role here wasn't red. It was white
for a long time, then suddenly bine. It lived In a ball park and
was used for various and sundry chores mostly to pull a drag
around the park's Infield and give a load of happy kids a ride
while in the process.
When the ball park was sold, the wagon disappeared for a time.
It then popped up again, under new ownership and sporting its fresh
coat of blue. But alas, the new ownership didn't last long. Our star
was confiscated by superior powers and, if our information is correct,
was then given as a present to the daughter of the guy.
Sounds eraay? Not when yea hear hew Bill Mulligan finally
commandeered the little ear that at one time was practically given
te the Senators by Orral Lama of Orral's Used Cars for da ties
la aad axcond Waters field. George Exnig h had It for awhile
cntil Mulligan decided he wanted It.
Might also be a food place to add that Emlgh has been given the
old squeeze play by the Beaver outfit Promised that he would be
given a job in the organization if ever the Senators were aold out from
under him, Emigh U now Mout after being told by Messrs. Mulligan
and George Norgan that no place In the same organization could be
mad for him . . .
Whirls About
By Hush FuHerton, Jr.
DALLA.S, Jan. 13-P)-The big
wind that blew the controversial
sanity code out of the National
Collegiate AA constitution dropped
to a zephyr today. Still it manag
ed to stir up a few dust whirls
over the continued existence of the
constitutional compliance commit
tee and the adoption of a policy on
bowl games.
Both these matters came under
a complete constitutional revision
which was the principal business
of the final session of the 45th an
nual NCAA convention. The com
pliance committee was retained
and the report of last year's bowl
games committee was made a part
of the by-laws, but only after some
discussion.
Even before this came up, Pres
ident Hugh C. Willett of Southern
California had told the delegates
that he and the NCAA council
were in doubt as to where the
NCAA now stands in respect to the
code, in view of yesterday's action.
He said the action and its implica
tions should be interpreted by the
incoming council.
The council also dropped any
disciplinary action against the sev
en schools which were to have
been cited under the abandoned
code and which remain unidenti
fied. Willett said the council did
not desire to present the names of
the institutions or the charges
against them.
The addition of an article cover
ing bowl games and other events
sponsored by non-collegiate groups
was one major addition to the
legislation included in setting up
the by-laws. This stemmed from
a survey made by a committee
which reported last year and
whose report then Was accepted
but not adopted constitutionally.
This governs ticket allocation,
division of gate receipts, etc., and
rules out competition in any such
event which does not fit these
specifications. As to the bowls, the
competing schools must be allotted
at least one-third of the tickets
and 75 per cent of the gross re
ceipts, including concession, radio,
television and movie money.
A motion to table this article,
on the grounds that the NCAA no
longer had control of conduct of
intercolegiate events, was voted
down.
In a last-minute change, the
NCAA council was authorized to
waive eligibility requirements in
the case of a national emergency.
This means that freshmen can be
made eligible for NCAA champ
ionship events without convention
action.
Willett and Secretary-Treasurer
Kenneth L. Tug Wilson were re
elected and the selection of Cin
cinnati for the 1952 convention was
confirmed.
H. P. Everest of the University
of Washington was elected vice
president for the eighth district.
Named to the football rules com
mittee was Frank G. McCormick,
supervisor of officials in the Pacif
ic Coast conference, replacing Lon
Stiner of Oregon State in district 8.

Br Sherry Bowen
How many people can the world hold?
Harried diplomats want to know. Not
only are many areas bursting at the seams,
but population experts say there are fabulous
possibilities in future growth.
In older times, deaths averaged up to
40 or 50 per thousand people every year.
Birth rates were high too, of course, or the
race would have died out.
Up to 1650, populations grew very slow
ly. In many areas, famines, plagues, wars
and other disasters left whole peoples stand
ing still or getting smaDer.
But about 1650 Europe began to expand.
It had the New World to expand into. Not
only did many of its people go there, but
the New World sent food back to Europe.
600 Million in Europe
There were about 100 million people in
Europe in 1650. In 1950 there are about 600
million. Meanwhile the Americans grew from
13 million to 324 million. Australia and New
Zealand grew from about two .million to
12 million. At the same time European Rus
sians were moving east to Asia and other
millions of Europeans settled in Africa and
other parts of Asia.
The rest of the world grew too. The
1650 world population was about 545 million,
the 1950 population about 2,400 million.
A lot of those 2,400 million people are
hungry.
While Europeans have cut death rates
in some cases below 10 per thousand per
year, much of the world has higher rates.
Just how high, it is diffcult to say. Reliable
statistics are lacking.
But while Europe was growing some of
her peoples also cut birth rates. They were
cut so low in some cases that births did not
keep up with deaths. Before World War II
the French were decreasing by 1.4 people
per thousand per year.
European-type people increased their birth
rates during World War II, but most experts
think this is temporary. Hence birth rate
figures on the map are prewar. They are
from selected countries.
Why and how birth rates were reduced,
the experts are not sure. But mose of them
think low birth rates stem from industriali
zation plus birth control.
Europe Still Expanding
It took 300 years for the Europeans to
cut their birth rates. And even today, with
higher war and postwar birth rates, they are
still expanding. The higher birth rates since
World War II give France 300,000 more peo
ple a year, Italy has half a million more a
year. But Japan averaged 1,661,000 more per
year between 1947 and 1949.
Japan is only one of the points on the
world map in which population danger sig
nals are flying. Three quarters or more of
the world has high birth rates, perhaps about
what they were in Europe before 1650.
Modern aid to underdeveloped nations
has shown that death rates can be cut in
these areas. The map shows some of the
points at which this has been done. But
birth rates do not come down at the same
time.
Puerto Rico, for instance had less than
a million people in 1900. Today she has more
than 2,200,000. If she continues to grow at -the
current rate the number of her people
will again double in 25 years.
If Japan were to continue growing at
her current rate she would double her 83",
000,000 population in 33 years.
Asian Problem May Grow
The experts do not think the same
things will now happen to the rest of the
world as has happened to Europe since 1650.
For example, the monsoon belt of Asia has
half the world population on less than 10
per cent of the world land surface. If these
people did what Europe did they would
number perhaps 10 billion in 300 years.
That is more than four times the whole world
population today, and seems impossible.
Even if enough food could be found,
lack of other resources might set a limit.
What will happen?
That is what diplomats want to know.
Will the old high death rates return? Will
means be found to control birth rates? Will
new and bitter wars develop? Will some new
plague appear that medical science cannot
deal with?
Decisions have been made that the U.
N. cannot refuse to aid nations because no
solution is seen for the population problem.
It backs plans for better living for back
ward peoples. But to date it has found no
answer to the question of what can be done
with the added people such measures help
to produce.

Ends Week on

NEW YORK, Jan. 13
Strength was the keynote of the
stock market this week.
With a final advance today the

age gain since the week ended
October 7. Trading was the heav

lest since early September, 1939.
Both then and now the psy
chology of inflation had a lot to
do with the burst of higher
prices.
The tune was called from
Washington where the president
delivered two messages to con
gress on the state of the union
and on its economic health.
Neither message unsettled the
stock market because Wall Street
had expertly anticipated the con
tent and intent of both.
Washington wants all of the
nation s economic resources and
manpower bent to the task of re
arming for war and carrying on
the containment of communism
in Korea.
The curbs on inflation were
loosened slightly this week when
a proposal for a temporary price
wage freeze was abandoned.
Caution was evident in both the
Friday and Saturday markets as
President Truman unveiled his
"no surprises" economic message
and as conjecture on the Monday
budget message mounted.
The volume of trading today
was 1,070,000 shares, the lowest
since the first Saturday in De
cember. A week ago the volume
was 1,160,000 shares.
Selling Wave
Floods Grains
CHICAGO, Jan. 1$-(JP)-A sell
lng wave broke over the grain
pits late in the session on the
board of trade today, wiping out
earlier gains and leaving every
thing lower for the day.
The selling followed dispatches
from Lake Success stating it was
reported Russia would not vote
against a cease-fire order in Ko
rea, which had previously ob
tained United States support.
In addition, reports of snow and
rain in the southwest came into
the trade as the day progressed,
and mounted to a sizeable volume
of stations getting moisture be
fore the session ended. This
brought liquidation into new crop
wheat deliveries.
Wheat closed 2-31,4 lower,
corn lVa-1 lower, oats 1-2H
lower, rye 34-44 lower, soy
beans 1-24 lower and lard 5 to
15 cents a hundred pounds lower.
