Observed by Watchful Eyes, Tito’s Effort^ . . .
R i
Tito’s Yugoslavia seems less concerned
over the prospects of a third world war
within the forseeable future than we are.
Through Moscow and Belgrade lash one
another constantly with hot propaganda
broadcasts" and charges and counter
charges, there is no serious threat of war
between the two countries, an AP wire
release tells us. Instead of war, it’s real
ly peace that Yugoslavs are bent upon.
A vast building program is being car
ried on in Tito’s country—factories, roads,
railroads, housing projects. Of course,
he has a few tanks and a division or so of
infantry lined up along his frontier nest
to the Cominform nations, but Yugoslavia
itself is betting on peace. I 1 .
Last week, when Russia celebrated the
thirty-second anniversary of the Russian
Revolution, Yugoslavia hailed the people
of Russia, but not their leaders. Politely
.(or is it that?) Yugoslavia Was saying to
A the Russians, "We like^our Communism,
but your leaders are messing it up for
you.”
Comparatively weak, Yugoslavia has
taken a heartening stand agaipst becom
ing a puppet state of the Kremlin. Though
this country favors Yugoslavian disregard
of Russian efforts to bring them into line,
we cannot extend open arms to Marshal
Tito and Ids cohorts.
i . !|
Tito seems to be playing both sides
(the East and &e West) against one an
other and hoping he will come ouf to the
better. His ambitious programs of domes
tic improvement rather than military pre
paredness promise to raise the living stan
dard within his country.
This improvement will develop along
the social, cultural, and economic lines of
socialism—socialism a la Moscow. Na
tions near Russia who admire Yugoslavia
and yet fear to asgume her strained rela
tions with Russia, are regarding carefully
what developments Yugoslavia can
achieve without Mother Russia’s blessings.
If Tito lifts Yugoslavia out of the Com
munist orbit and also raises the Yugoslav
ian standard, other nations hear her will
be encouraged to bolt the party line, and
build for themselves rather than let Moth
er Russia plan their development.

NOT Sit NOR 321, BUT 318
Sports Editors, The Hattalion:
I spent a good part of the years
1935-36-37 and 1938 digging and
digging among sports records to es
tablish the high school scoring
record’of Dick Todd.
The year thal. Bill DeCorrovant,
of Chicago’s Austin high school,
scored 212 points and claimed a
National Record, I had to fight the
combined strength of the wire ser
vices to prove that a lad named
Willie Zapalac, later an Aggie star,
had run up 245 points that year
but jwas second to Dean Bagley,
later to defeat Texas and hand the
Aggies the 1941 champjonship.
Bagley had scored something like
267 points that last year at San
Saba high in West Texas before
he “jined’’ up at TCU. Todd's record
topped all those.
Then I had to battle the Foot
ball Guide editors to get. Todd’s
record into the official record
book.
I had to battle the sports edi
tors of the Washington, D.C. news
papers back in 1939, when Dick
signed with the Redskins, in order
to make them believe that the
“Crowell Cyclone” was as good as
he actually was and that he really
had scored all the points credited
to him in one year.
I strewed that 'record from pil
lar to post until I thought I had
made it stick. Clarence Weikel suc
ceeded me' as sports publicity di
rector and he in turn by the pre
sent holder of the job, Dub King.
Both of them accepted the record as
fact and included it in their annual
football brochures. Dub has it
in his Dope Book, this year and it
must have been accepted because
the party responsible for putting
out the home Texas Aggie Foot
ball Programs saw fit to include
that record in the data on Dick
Todd, the present Aggie backfield
coach. Just open any Aggie foot
ball program of this season and
look it up.
And with all that effort to make
the scoring record so well known
that never would be questioned
again—what hoppen? The Bait
cartoonist gives Todd 327 points 1
for which one of the editors apol
ogizes in the cut line by reducing
the 327 total to 321.
Will all concerned please take
one minute for silent kicking of
their facsimile Kigmlns. THK RKC-
ORD IS AND WILL REMAIN
School. In addition to making that
number himself, Todd also passed
to mates for several others, includ
ing some points after touchdown
rather than kick the point or run
for the tally himself.
Yours truly,
Henry B. Mr Elroy, ’38
College Station, Texas
(Sport’s Editors’ Note: With
deepest apologies to reader Mc-
Elroy we stand corrected on
Todd’s high school scoring rec
ord whieh is 318 points for one
season. On the day we prepared
the cu(line for cartoonist Trant’s
cartoon, one of the Batt sports
writers had borrowed our “facts
and figures” book from the Batt
office to study for a Campus-
ology quiz. Consequently the
sports editors had to delve into
their short memories and try to
conjure up the correct total for
Todd’s record. We came pretty
close, you’ll have to admit.)

My Dream Is Yours (Warn

“My Dream Is Yourq”, a recent
Doris Day technicolored musical
bounces into Guion today with the
right amount of tunes, talent, and
tempo to make it highly palatable
screen fare, i
Cleverly written and briskly
paced, My Dream Is Yours uses
a plot that has served as the
framework for many a past mu
sical comedy-romance, and is
used primarily as a showcase for
the infectious vitality and mel
low voice of warbler Doris Day.
Jiltiss Day delivers several Harry
Warren numbers such as "M y
Dream Is Yours," “Someone Like
You," ‘Til String Along With
you," etc. in her down-to-earth,
cuddlesome style, using a melo
dious mixture of zing, zest; and
girl-next-door warmth.
The lightweight story, full of
complications and corn, is of the
Cinderella vintage. Miss Day, a
female disc jockey, Is discovered

publicity man, Jack Carson, who

Washington (AP)—A jury
trial in the supreme court—
a rare occurrence in United
States history—is being asked
by Louisiana in the tidelands
pil Case.
The state, through oncj. of its
attorneys—F. Trowbridge Vom
Baur—filed a motion with the court
today asking the trial in event the
Court rejects Louisiana’s motion
for dismissal of the government’s
action.
“There have been only three in
stances in history when there has
been a jury trial before the su- 1
preme court.” Vom Baur told a
reporter.
Normally the court hears appeals
of cases which have been tried in
Other courts.
Vom Baur said the state’s, theory
is asking such a trial is that the
case is an action to recover real
property. He said that under the
seventh amendment to the con
stitution a defendant in such a
case is entitled to a jury trial.
The federal government Is ask
ing the supreme court to rule that
the government has full power and
dominion over the off shore Gulf
coast tidelands, or has title to the
rich oil-bearing lands. In the case
of California tidelands, the court
has ruled that the federal govern
ment has full power and doipinioh.
Louisiana last week admitted that
the government has full regula
tory power over the off shore lands,
as the court said in the California
case. But Louisiana contends the
government does not have tit|c and
hence has no right to any royal
ties on oil produced from the land,
Vom Baur said he does not
know just how the supreme court
might handle a jury trial or just
whore the line might be drawn be-
tween the jury’s functions and
thoso of the high court’s.
Texas, which is a defendant in a
similar case, has asked thgt the
court ; appoint a commissioner to
take teatimony.
