Stewart was willing then to settle for a crowd -of 20,000. Today it is a different story at Cotton bowl headquarters and the sun shines brightly in Stew art's office. A possible sell-out looms. Officials for the New Year's day game were dubious about inviting a service team to play Texas' Southwest conference champions in the bowl. They'll never worry again. Selection of Randolph Field gave the game a distinction boasted by no other Dowl, made it tops with the armv air forces and with the thousands of servicemen stationed in Texas. As a matter of fact, service interest is running so high that several large blocks of tickets, which have been demanded, are worrying the seating plan con trollers. When the Grand Prairie naval air station called for be tween 500 and 1,000 tickets, the bowl officials groaned. Usually a $2,200 t'eket order would mean the best seats in the house. The best on tap were somewhere around trie 10-yard line. Meanwhile, the two principals icars aay proceedings, Texas and RandolDh Field- prim, pleted their first week of bowl practice today each coming through without Injury.

Krueger, national chair man - of the socialist party of the United States, tonight urged the United Nations to encourage democratic revolutions in fascist and fascist-occupied countries and cease "using American civ ilian-soldiers to ram decrepit monarchies down the throats oi conquered peoples."

San Juan, P. R., Dec. 18 (U.PJ Maj. Gen. William E. Shedd, commanding general of the An tilles department, today emphati cally denied an article, published in the current issue of Saturday Evening Post, claiming that Pu erto Rlcan servicemen shot their officers in the back and commit ted suicide rather than "submit to discipline."
