dragging because of poor weath
er conditions and an Office of
Defense Transportation demand
that travel to the Texas-Georgia
Tech game be held to a mini
mum. 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

Texas and RandolDh Field- prim,
pleted their first week of bowl
practice today each coming

Chicago, Dec. 18. (U.R) May.
nard C. 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."
Krueger proposed three defi
nite plans for the socialist party
platform for 1944: Abolishment
of the poll tax and white pri
mary in the south; establishment
of race equality in employment,
housing, public places and the
armed services and the exten
sion of democracy into economic
life by increased inheritance
taxes.
Supporting a strong interna
tional organization for post-war
control, Krueger said the social
ists "do not propose, if we can
help it, to come out of this war
with the same capitalism and ar
mgant nationalism and fascism
which produced the war.

officers in the back and commit
ted suicide rather than "submit
to discipline."
Commenting on the article,
written by John Lear, Shedd
said:
"There's never been case In
the present war of a Puerto
Rican soldier killing an officer."
He added that "suicide is no
greater problem among Puerto
Ricans than among continentals
stationed here." .
