FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1950 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH PAGE NINETEEN GOPTryiiigto Hide Inaction, Truman Savi WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. Uf) President Truman is taking for hi 1950 political line: The Republi cans are croaking about Socialism to Hide their own "negative inac That brought new GOP challenges today for a Novembe vote test of the issue. Mr. Truman told a glittering gathering of 5300 Democrats a the flOO-a-plate Jefferson-Jackson dinner here last night that thi Republicans just sit 'wait Ing for the Democrats propose something.

"Then they react with an out burst of scare words," he said. To the chuckling appreciation of hi steak-fed listeners, he added: "They are like a cuttlefish tha squirts out a cloud of black ink whenever its slumber is The President called for ful speed on "our domestic programs for health, education, social security and economic stability." He said Republican charges, that these involve Socialism "is an insult to the intelligence of the American people." "Now of course," he said, thi program is not socialism. "It is based upon firm faith in the strength of free enterprise." "Confronted by the great recorc of this country and the tremendous promise of its future, all they (the Republicans) do is c- 'Socialism'," he declared. Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) who took a leading part in framing the GOP campaign slogan of "liberty versus Socialism," told reporters that if Mr.

Truman doesn't know his program is socialistic "he is being hood-winked by his ADA (Americans for Democratic Action) and CIO-PAC (Political Action Committee) supporters who have sold him most of his features." "Police state economic controls, prlce-fixirvg, wage-fixing, government operation of steel and utility plans, the farm controls of the Brannan plan, socialized and fed- cralized medicine and repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act would duplicate here the program of the labor- Socialist government in Great Britain," Taft said, adding: "No wonder Mr. Truman and his friends are publicly praying for a Socialist victory in the English election." Sen. Wherry of Nebraska, the GOP floor leader, challenged Mr. Truman to carry his program to the people in the November congressional move the President already has said he will take in what he called a nonpolitical tour of the country. Billed as the opening Democratic gun in the congressional campaign, the President's speech failed to hit the stride he maintained in his whirlwind 1948 election campaign.

Applause was frequent, but never uproarious. Mr. Truman made frequent inserts in his prepared text and ran a little over his 30-minute national broadcast time. President Barkley and House Speaker Rayburn of Texas supplied also some ammunition against the Republicans. Democrats came from far and near.

But some didn't notably a quartet of southern senators who don't like the President's civil rights program and aren't keen about his spending proposal. These were Senators Byrd and Robertson of Virginia and Eastland and Stennis of Mississippi. Flanked by his cabinet at a block-long speaker's table, Mr. Truman told party members he isn't discounting the cost of solving the heavy domestic and international problems of the day. "We know that their solution requires heavy expenditures," he said.

"The Democratic party does not propose to deceive the people either about the problems we face or the cost of solving them." He said that while he is working toward balancing the budget it is "out of the question" to reach that goal now "by the simple expedient of cutting expenses." "I would like to cut expenditures further and I intend to do so at every opportunity," he said. "But I do not propose to weaken the strength and security of this country. I do not propose to place the peace of the world in jeopardy to satisfy the advocates of false economy." Louis Lacks Foes, Even in Exhibitions JACKSONVILLE, Feb. 17 UP) It's tough to get good foes for retired heavyweight champ Joe Louis because he's In such good shape, booking manager Marry Mandel complains. He said Louis is only 10 pounds heavier than when he won his last title fight "and it won't be hard for him to take that off if he decides to meet Ezard Charles."

Dr Raymond B. Allen, president of the University of Washington, said to day that "intercollegiate sports wll ultimately disappear" if there I unchecked subsidization of college athletics. Responding to an Associated Press questionnaire on subsldiza tion In college athletics, Dr. Allei was asked this question among others: "If subsidization, either open sub rosa, continues unchecked what future do you predict foi American college sports?" His response was: "The question presupposes cur rent, and continued subsidization If this assumption is correct, would say that intercollegiate sports will ultimately disappear and that the field of amateur ath letics will be left almost exclusive ly to the high schools and sandlots who would then become the nexf victim of professionalism. "This, it seems to me, is one the most important single prob lems in intercollegiate relations today, and it goes to the very heart of ethical problems that face our society.

It is part and parce of the materialism that threatens our society on many fronts, cannot help contrasting the threatened state ot amateur athleli competition today with the glory it achieved in the scheme of the ancient Greeks who valued athletic competition for its own sake, just as they valued other achievements." Support Code Dr. Allen and Dr. Fred D. Fagg president of the University ol Southern California, both affirmed support of the NCAA's "sanity Both Washington anc Southern California are prominent members of the Pacific Coast conference. Last fall Washington won three football games and lost seven, while Southern California won five, lost three and tied one The question on the future ol college sports under unchecked subsidization was number three on a list of four submitted to both presidents.

Dr. Allen's replies to the other threV, together with the questions, follow: Does the University of Washington subsidize athletes and if so to what extent in what sports? "The University of Washington does not subsidize athletes in any sport. Under the rules of the Pacific Coast Conference, on-campus employment at the rate ot per hour but not exceeding $75.00 per month, is provided. Although the bulk of these jobs are held by members of the football and basketball squads, they are not restricted to these groups, and a number of athletes from the other sports do participate. In addition, a limited number of "grants' in-aid," providing for the payment of student fees in excess of $65.00 per year, are permitted by the conference in cases where, in the opinion of a faculty committee, financial need has been established.

No Subsidization "2. Do your alumni subsidize athletes privately and if so is this with or without the knowledge of the university? "While I cannot, state categorically that there is no subsidization of athletes by our alumni, I can say that we have made every effort to assure that there is no subsidization by alumni. "4. Do you subscribe to the NCAA "sanity "Yes. While it may hot be ideal, it is a worthwhile and substantial effort to establish a uniform standard of practice throughout the nation.

Dr. Fagg's reply to the four questions follows in full: "1. The Pacific Coast Conference and the NCAA provide rules on this subject, to which we adhere. "2. Not to my knowledge.

"3. I believe that the men who supervise athletics in our colleges and universities will not permit competitive sports to be destroyed by professionalism. "4. Yes. Incidentally, our faculty representative is chairman of the NCAA committee on committees." College Basketball By THE ASSOCIATED I'KESS EAST Duquesnc 60.

After reading a Washington columnist's report that he'd like to be waived from the Braves to Washington, Tommy Holmes appealed to his newspaper friends: "Say it ain't so."
