(U.R) Seven colleges charged with vio lations of the National Collegiate Athletic association's "sanity code were given a last chance today to plead their cares before facing expulsion proceedings on the NCAA convention floor Sat urday.

Baugh May Quit Pro Grid Racket Washington, Jan. 12 (U.R) The Washington Redskins indi cated today they will give Sling in' Sammy Baugh a release from his professional player contract if he wants to become head foot ball coach at Baylor university. There was nothing definite yet. Baylor had not offered Baugh the job and the Redskins announced no official decision on releasing him. But the famed passing star said he is "interested" in the Baylor position, and sources close to the Waco, Tex., school say the school's athletic commit tee seems to want him if he can get loose from the 1950 contract he already has signed with the Redskins.

A Nichols' Worth of Comment On By HARMAN United Pntl Washington, Jan. 12 (U.R) The wets and the drys squared off today in the historic caucus room of the marble hailed s e n a te office building. The question: Shall we pass the Langcr bill which would pro hibit "the transportatio n in inters t a t e c o m m erce of advertising of alcoholic bev erages?" The same sort of tUrman Nichols thing came up in congress a year or so ago. The drys contend that such ads, which often show a man looking bright-eyed and bushy tailed of a morn after a night of sipping Old Aunt Hetty gin, lead to excessive drinking. The youth of the land, the drys cry, is en couraged to bow to the demon rum. R. E. Joyce, the president of Distilled Spirits Institute, Inc., has different ideas and let it be said without delay that I am trying hard to take no sides and am presenting both sides as they show up. Anyhow, Joyce says that pre- Hockey By United Press The northern and southern di visions of the Pacific Coast Hock ey league stood each other off last night. The contending Tacoma Rock ets from the north and the lead ing San Francisco Shamrocks from the south fought for 60 minutes and each came out with four goals. In an exclusively southern di vision game the Los Angolcs Monarchs swept past Fresno's Falcons 8-5 while Portland was humbling Seattle 7-3 to clamber out of the northern division base ment. The Portland win over Seattle gave the Penguins eight- out of the last 10 games. 6805 FRI. - SAT. ...pt. 49c 57 MORRELL'S PRIDE HOTEL PACK SLICED BACON - 52c From 25 to 28 Slices to the Pound REMEMBER DELIVERY This and That W. NICHOLS Future Wrltei , , paration of liquor ads Is a diffi cult task. You not only have to follow the letter of the federal law, but you also have to watch out for quirks in the state statutes. Special Requirements Thirty-three slates, he said, have special advertising require ments. "The state of Virginia, for in stance," he said, "forbids an ad vertiser from displaying any except a picture of a bottle or of the label on a bottle." Joyce warmed up to his sub ject after that. "Take Oregon," he said. "We are allowed to use the pictures of big dogs there, but are not al lowed to use pictures of little dogs. There is no apparent rea son for this so far as we know. "In Utah, we are prohibited from using the picture of any dogs at all big or little. In the state of Washington we can use a picture of any dog we want to mongrel or blooded, big or small. Business Complicated Joyce said that' the liquor ad vertising business is so compli cated you lose a lot of good ad vertising men that way. One state forced a liquor out fit to remove balloons which had been used as window displays and which said "Light on the purse," meaning the liquor didn't cost very much. State officials ruled there was a law against any prices In the winnows. "That wasn't the end of that one, Joyce said. "We ordered new balloons without the slogan and redecorated all the windows only to be told that these new balloons were illegal because the regulations prohibited any mo tion in window displays. After that we put the balloons on sticks, eliminating all motion. We finally gave up balloons when the state ruled that bal loons were illegal because they might have an appeal to chil dren. Me, I'll leave the arguments to congress. It ought to be an interesting hearing. Naming Of Negro First Citizen Under Attack Portland, Ore., Jan. 12 U.R) The title of "Negro First Citizen" just bestowed on Oliver E. Smith, Portland, was criticized today by the executive secretary of the Portland Urban league as "infamous, stupid and dishon est." Secretary Edwin C. Berry blasted the method of selecting the Negro first citizen after Smith was given the honor by the Negro Democratic society. Smith was supervising fore man at a night club until state liquor commission agents raided and closed it last month. Berry said Smith was not a board member of the Urban league as listed in his "first citi zen" qualifications, nor was he a board member of the National Association for the Advance ment of colored people. NCAAP Vice-President Mrs. J. W. Inger soil said Smith's board member ship in the organization dated back several years. MYSTERY EXPLAINED Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Uo Mall Tribune Want Ad THE DOOR TO tfflae MAUL USE TRIBUNE T ADS Foe- FAST ACTHN: Souvenirs Recall Bygone Splendor For White House Washington U.R) A woman whose mother was a bridesmaid in a White House wedding in 1874 has closed a gap in White House files. Because of a fire in the state department some years ago, there are almost no records of past White House social func tions. Mrs. Arthur Doig, former ly of St Louis, Mo., now living in Washington, permitted the White House staff to copy some oi ner motner s souvenirs of sev eral formal White House dinners. Mrs. Edith Helm, White House social secretary, said one was sig nificant because it shows the ear liest recorded use of the Presi dent's seal on a formal dinner invitation. Mrs. Dolg's mother was Anna Barnes, daughter of the Army's surgeon general in the Grant ad ministration. She was one of eight bridesmaids attending Nel lie Grant at her marriage in 1874 to Algernon Sartoris, an English man. Cards Elaborate In connection with the wed ding festivities Miss Barnes was invited to several dinners at the White House. She saved her in vitations as well as her place cards. Mrs. Helm observed that the place 'cards of 1874 were far more elaborate than those used in the White House now. Miss Barnes' card was four-by-five Inches with .an engraving of the White House over the guest's name. Now, Mrs. Helm said, the place cards carry the President's seal and the gucsts's name. Mrs. Doig's souvenirs revealed that the White House dining hour has been pushed up con siderably. The usual formal din ner there is billed for eight o'clock. Miss Barnes received one from the Giants for seven o'clock and one from President and Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes for six o'clock. FIRE CHIEF'S FLAME Albany, Ga. (U.R) The reputa tion of Fire Chief D.

I - tl Californian Plans To Fight State's Fair Trade Act Stockton, Cal., Jan. 11 (U.R) Grocer Charles Hawkins, who was forcibly carried off to jail for selling a bottle of wine for 6 cents less than the state fair trade act, was fighting mad to day. Hawkins said he planned to take two steps to get aroind the price law. He conferred with his lawyer about using his case as a test to overthrow the act. He also announced he would run for the powerful board of equaliza tion, which is charged with en forcing It. Feuding With Board Hawkins has boon feuding with the board for two years. The fight started when he per sisted in selling beer and wine for less than the law said he should. He claimed he could sell his merchandise at any price he wanted to. The board then sus pended his liquor license On Tuesday, a board agent bought a bottle of wine from Hawkins for 38 cents instead of the "legal" price of 45 cents. Then seven agents went to Haw kins store to arrest him. Carried To Jail Warned of their coming, Haw kins barricaded his store and de fied the agents to remove him. They broke down the door and earned him off to jail, kicking and screaming. He and his clerk, Byron Nor ton, were arrested for disturbing the peace and for selling liquor without a license. Both will ap pear for a preliminary hearing January 10. A Los Angeles court already has upheld California's price fixing statute in a case that was not appealed.
