That's one job of preparation for basketball which Woods had just as soon not do every day. "The floor is 105 by 60 feet and it takes 60 manhours to take it down or put it up, he explained.

"We generally have on it, and it comes up in 10 foot sections which weigh about 250 pounds each." The floor sits on one by two wooden "runners" which act as a cushion. Of course, the fun comes when the cleaning starts. The cleaning crew is made up of permanent men on full salary as janitors and Wood has hired 10 on a temporary basis. "We go to work at 10:30 at night and it's usually about 4 a. m.

the next morning before we're through," he said. The crews find everything from false teeth to baby shoes left behind. of the most frequently found items is a woman's single ear bob," says Woods. "Sometimes there are purses and shoes and pocketbooks. You name it, we've found it.

One man lost a billfold with $580 in 1 it earlier this year, but he was back to claim it before we fin. ished cleaning, he said. There is more to handling such a crowd than the inside activity and preparation. Lt. Jack Thomas of the Lubbock Police Department expects to have 21 men on duty handling traffic tonight.

There were only 10 working Tuesday night. again we want to remind motorists not to park on the grass. It they do we'll impound their cars. Thomas warned. Three cars were impounded Tuesday night because they were parked on the center island between traffic lanes on the Tech freeway.

During the ball game Woods and his crew patrol the building along with several police officers assigned to inside duty. "One of the big problems is with teenagers setting fire to paper in the rest rooms," Woods remarked. A crowd the size of the one expected tonight can be emptied from the Coliseum in "about 15 Crowds Orderly "However, for the most part basketball crowds are orderly. We had a problem when we first opened that we have now licked. The tags with seat numbers were attached to each seat and lots of them were removed.

We took a ch branding iron and burned the numbers into the wood," he explained. Naturally, when that many get together there's always somebody hungry. David Blackburn, manager of the Coliseum. describes basketball crowds as "'soft drink guzzlers." The concessions are operated by the Coliseum and Blackburn will have 20 persons on duty tonight. "That doesn't include Scouts SE who will sell in the he said.

After soft drinks, it's just like the movies. Popcorn and candy get a heavy play. "Funny thing about the TCU crowd." Blackburn remarked. "It went heavy for candy bars." A. C.

Black, Lubbock fire marshal, says no one will be allowed to stand in the aisles or block the exits and that Tech can sell as many tickets as they have chairs for so far as he is concerned." Arson Suspected In Fires Al College CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (P) Police said today they suspect arson as the cause of six separate fires which broke out yesterday in buildings of the University of North Carolina. The worst fire started in Swain Hall, where communications center is located. Officials inventoried equipment today in an to estimate damages to the studios of UNC-TV, located in the building. Officers said a 14-year-old boy seen at two of the fires was picked up for questioning and released.

Three fires broke out at the Carolina Inn, but were confined mostly to carpeting. A fire broke out in Hill Hall. The first of the six fires was discovered at Miller Hall in the afternoon. Damage was slight. Ex-Queen's Husband Balks On Alimony CAIRO (P) Ex-Queen Narri- man's estranged second husband reportedly refuses to pay her alimony despite her threat to sue for divorce.

The newspaper Al Akhbar quoted Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Elnakib, who married Narriman after she divorced ex-King Farouk, as saying he does not recognize decree of the Moslem religious Court of Appeal in Beirut ordering him to pay Narriman $150 a month. In Beirut, where she now lives, Narriman said Wednesday she would sue for divorce if Elnakib doesn't pay up. They have been estranged for two years. He lives in Alexandria.

By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (P- Democrats called on President Eisenhower today to, back up with specific blueprints for action the eightpoint program he laid before Congress yesterday. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas set the show-me tone of reaction to the proposals Eisenhower outlined in his State of the Union message. Eisenhower said they are needed to meet the growing space era threat of what he repeatedly called "'Communist "The President has in general terms set forth some worthy objectives, Johnson said in an interview. has called for strengthening of our allies, greater understanding and commerce between nations and attempts to bring peace to the world.

These have long been Democratic objec tives. Blueprints Awaited "Now we are waiting for his blueprints for meeting those objectives. As soon as he lays them down, our committees will promptly consider his recommendations." Although Johnson and Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn (D- Tex) both praised Eisenhower's speech, there was mounting evidence of Democratic disappoint.ment that Eisenhower did not make any spectacular proposals for an immediate buildup 1n American military might. An analysis of the President's proposals circulated among Democratic senators said that basically the message was "long on proposals and short on performance." "Even the program to step up national security boils down to pumping a little more money into existing projects and promising vaguely to, reorganize the defense the analysis said. Republicans were practically unanimous in their praise of Eisenhower's personally delivered message.

Some Democrats lauded it but many of them were critical. Demos Join In Eisenhower was interrupted 41 times by applause during the 44 minutes he addressed a joint session of Congress in the House chamber. Republicans provided most of the applause, but Democrats often joined in and occasionthe outbursts. ally, led, show of enthusiasm like the world situation, differed sharply from that at the start of 1957. Only five rounds of applause interrupted the entire 1957 address to Congress.

The White House described Eisenhower as "very pleased" with the reception he received. Rayburn said he was "glad to know the President is alive to what American people are disturbed about and this is the bickering and dissension among the services in the Pentagon." "I hope he gives Secretary McElroy the authority to get the job done regardless of who stays or who has to go," Rayburn A high administration official said Eisenhower had in mind a move to bolster the secretary of defense with additional authority over military spending. This official said the President personally directing the Defense Department reorganization plans and might recommend creation of a staff of military advis. ers, separate from the Joint Chiefs, to help McElroy resolve disputes among the services. Sen.

Bush (R-Conn), a member of the Senate, Armed Services Committee, called in a statement for creation of a unified command as "the only way to end rivalry and wasteful competition among the armed services." He said he does not believe unified war plans can be drawn up under the present system, in which the Joint Chiefs represent their individual services ad the chairman is powerless to resolve their differences. Speedup Is Sought Leading off his eight points with his reference to defense reorganization, Eisenhower called for a speedup in production of missiles, nuclear submarines and other modern weapons. Congress seemed disposed to give him all the funds he might ask in this field, and possibly more. There was evident opposition, however, to the President's call for continuation of foreign aid at a high level and continuation of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act for five years, Many Democrats indicated want to go further than Eisenhower's proposal for a billion-dollar, four- year program to promote education and research. There was general applause for Eisenhower's statement that he expects the budget to be balanced despite increased expenditures.

But there was evidence of stiff opposition among Democrats to any move to cut conservation and welfare funds to counter the defense increase. Eisenhower made no reference to specific programs in saying some less essential activities must be curtailed or eliminated. Eisenhower's call for efforts to bring about disarmament and peace was generally applauded, although except for a cooperative "science for peace" effort he proposed little that was new. Comment Lukewarm In London, editorial comment on the speech was lukewarm and headlines went instead to Russia's new proposal for a summit conference of East West leaders. The Conservative London Daily Telegraph noted approvingly spirit of vigor and determination of pervaded the whole docuwhich.

but the independent Times and the Liberal News Chronicle said the speech contained nothing newiss reported in Moscow that Eisenhower spoke of preserving strength and working for true peace, but said most of the speech was "taken up by military In this country, Republicans said the President had demonstrated he has the "sense of urgency" about the present crisis that Democrats have been demanding. Some Democrats like Sen. Kennedy (D-Mass) agreed on that score. But, like Kennedy, many of them said the real test will come in the specific recommendations Eisenhower lays before Congress in subsequent nessages. In cross-section, the reaction to his message ran like this: Dangers Stressed Senate Republican Leader Grains Higher CHICAGO, Jan.

9 (P- Grain futures prices reacted fairly broadly at times on the Board of Trade today as varying influences hit the pits. After initial commercial purchase orders were absorbed, prices became sensitive to export business in wheat but moved withnarrow ranges for the most part. The greatest boost to wheat at time were reports that some surface moisture, at least, needed in the central Winter iS Wheat Belt where scattered light soil blowing has occurred, and reports of export business to Peru and Pakistan. Peru was reported to have bought 500.000 bushels of U. S.

hard wheat and Pakistan 700,000 bushels. Israel was expected in the market for some 800,000 bushels after the close of trade.

Defeats Great Samuel Brooklyn Teenager Wins U. S. Chess By DOC QUIGG NEW YORK (UP)- Robert James Fischer, Brooklyn's gift to international eggheadism, sat there in shirtsleeves, tieless, biting his dirty fingernails, chewing his tongue, Janky schoolboy legs chair twisting, his. rungs as eyes swept up and down hine chessboard. A chess authority in the crowd of spectators whispered in awe: "If he wins the title, it will be the greatest miracle in all chess history." Across the narrow room, in another final-round game of the tournament for the coveted U.S.

chess championship, sat the great Samuel Reshevsky, an international grandmaster and long regarded as one of the world's greatest players. A Study of Poise Reshevsky was a study in poise and confidence in a neat blue suit, cigarette perched between two fingers, arms folded. eyes blinking glasses, his bulging head behind, brown shining a bit in the fluorescent lighting.

Little Rock Guard Payroll Now Totals $100,000 Monthly LITTLE ROCK (P--The payroll of Arkansas National Guard troops on federal duty here, which approached two million dollars a at the height of the integration controversy, has leveled off to about $100,000 a month.

The Army, which gave out the figures today, said they include the basic cost of maintaining soldiers during the prolonged integration controversy. A military district spokesman said no estimate has been made on the cost of maintaining paratroopers who once were stationed here because the government would have had to pay those men wherever they were. a Different Situation The situation was vastly different in the case of the National Guard, which was federalized Sept. 24, the day after rioting erupted outside Central High School. Guardsmen accustomed to drawing a day's pay for a weekly drill found themselves on a full Army pay basis.

The result was that about 10.600 Guardsmen drew a total of 754,681 in Army checks for Octo-: ber-this despite a drastic reduction Oct. 23, which left only 1,800 Guardsmen on federal duty. More Reductions The reduction was followed Nov. 8 by cut--to 900-in number the another, payroll figure for November $132,617. On Dec.

18 the troops on federal duty were reduced to 432. the number now stationed at nearby Camp Robinson. The December payroll figure is $124,185. Of the 432 Guardsmen still on federal duty only a handful patrol Central High and protect nine Negro pupils attending classes there. Aptitude Test Set For Senior Students Several hundred high school seniors from Lubbock and the South Plains area will take the scholastic antitude test of the College Entrance Examination Board under the direction of the Texas Tech Testing and Counseling Service Saturday.

The three-hour test will be given in the science building on the Tech campus under the direction of Dr. Albert Barnett of the Tech faculty beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday's exams will represent the second hurdle for the Monterey seniors who are semifinalists in the national Merit Scholarship competition. These are Buford Terrell. Barbara Woodson, Robert Taylor, Will Pfeiffenberger, Karl Stevenson and Robert Linder.

Reshevsky Bobby Fischer Championship trait of himself, the only decoration on the gray walls of the tournament room of the 90-yearold Manhattan chess club. On the archway entrance was pasted a penciled sign: "'Spectators are requested not to snore in the tournament room." This civilized way of yelling "quiet!" was the only touch of humor as three nerve-wracking weeks of chess play reached climax. It was the first national championship tournament in three years. The 14 top players including Bobby Fischer in his purplestriped shirt, brown corduroy pants, blue socks, and heavy shoes each played the others once. Later in the evening there was a winner and new champ, Bobby Fischer.

The miracle had happened. For Bobby is only 14. Reshevsky Second Reshevsky finished in second place. Out in the lobby, Maurice J. Kasper, club, president, was saying: "It's fantastic.
