LUBBOCK GIRL VOWS TO TRY AGAIN 13-Year-Old Arizona Girl Is Champion Speller Of Nation By OPAL DIXON Journal Staff Writer WASHINGTON Lubbock's champion, 12 year old Sheila Cline, met her spelling bee doom Thursday on a third-round "bier," then stayed to watch 13-year-old Elizabeth Hess of Phoenix, win the national crown by spelling correctly "spermaceti" and "soubrette." Sheila, who went down crying after reversing the and the came out of the match with determination to win the bee in 1954. "I'm going to practice this summer and enter again next year," she said.

"I'm going to spell through Webster's Dictionary." The bee was held in the auditorium of the Department of Commerce Building. Among the 541 words called were such demons as "chrestomathic," "coruscation," "saponaceous," "caliginous" and "peripatetic." Contestants began spelling at 8:45 a.m. and continued, except for a lunch hour and brief rests, until 5:40 p.m. The contest ended in minor bedlam. Amid shouts of congratulations and in the constant glare of flashing camera bulbs, the new champion, representative of The Arizona Republican, made a television appearance.

The contest ended in a match between the Phoenix girl and Raymond A. Sokolov, Detroit, sponsored by The Detroit News. It was tense as each missed two words before Elizabeth finally conquered. After the third-place winner, David Hudson of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, was eliminated by misspelling "consanguineous," both Elizabeth and Raymond missed "con- cinnity." The contest continued under rules effective when only two are left that the champion must spell a word missed by the other and another word in addition. Elizabeth spelled "crepuscular," Raymond spelled "sesqui- See 13-YEAR-OLD Page Citations For Big Group Set Sixteen Texas Tech seniors will be commissioned in the U.S.

But they both have one objective, the defense of this country. To quote Benjamin Franklin, must all hang together, or we'll all hang separately," I think they should hold their rivalry strictly to things that will not jeopardize the security of the country. MRS. SAM ROBERTS, 1908 10th photography studioS owner: It seems I to me that the I i Air Force-Navy feud is useless, It is a clearly accepted fact that co operation works better in any phase of life, including this feud over wartime roles. MRS.

N. T. SINGLETON, 1919 6th housewife: I can't see that there is any reason for a quarrel between the Navy and the Air Force. It -seems that both branches of the service should get busy and work to get this thing over. WINDY MOORE, 1405 24th student: What possible incentive could Navy and Air Force have to carry on this ridiculous feud? Both branches of the service get the same public money.

It seems to me that the feud is not well-founded. Britons want to know how much is spent annually to feed the 2,997,426 dogs licensed there.
