ALABAMA TEAM IS FAVORITE Pasadena, Calif.. Doc. 26 —(U.R) — The strange process of making football favorites has placed AIM-b.-itnn in that position for the Tournament of Roses game against Washington State New Year's day. Betting odds generally favor Alabama, with the southerners ruling ae high as 2 to 1 favorites in many quarters. Strangely, it is | hard to find a Washington State backer even in this section where the Cougars are undefeated and untied champion. Every possible comparison—past nerformances. playing strength, weight and speed — indicate the ■io ost sort of battle between the •ival teams. Both teams have won ■line games. Alabama has amassed 247 points to its opponent's 13. Washington State has scored 227 •loints to its opponents 32. Each has proved its mettle in rough going—Wa, hington State in beat!n" Southern California. 7-6, and Washington. 3-0, and Alabama in defeating Vanderbilt, 12-7, nnd Georgia. 13-0. Th" fallacy of football favorres is exposed by one expert who 'avors Alabama because the southern players appear to have stronger legs and bigger necks. The 'ail underpinings of Mel Hein, allAmerican center on many teams, ■nd Jack Parodi. guard, is weigh’d against Washington State’s -hances in this prognosticator's sy«tem. With psychology on its side, Washington State seems to be the "favored underdog.” Memories are short down football alley, but surelv there are some who can recall the fate of the last overwhelming vi 'ory in this locality: Notre Dame 27. Southern California 0. “This underdog stuff just suits and mv boys fine," remarked Babe Hollingbery. Washington State coach. “The more we hear : t the better we like it." Wallace Wade. Alabama ranch, s making every effort to keep the "octball nubile's attitude from permeating his squad. “The game looks like a toss-up ‘o me." comments Wade. “I have “very respect for the western team." o COL. T INDBERGH TALKS OF FUTURE 'CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) a great number of aircraft used by private own rs.” Lindbergh said, "we must find ways for flying to ‘ake a place in the every-day life of the average man. One of the first essentials is to have airports within what might be called a short taxi ride from the downtown district." He pointed out how flying by private individuals is making its greatest headway, per capita, in sections of the country like Texas and Oklahoma, where there is less congestion and where cities are farther apart. Lindbergh was asked whether the airplane ever was likely to become asucomm' n a means of transportation as the automobile. “The automobile," he declared, “is used as an essential in the average person's business while traveling between his home and office. We cannot expect the airp'ane, : n a period of a few years, to fit into their lives in that way. The private airplane is still a luxury tc a majority of the people. The automobile is a necessity. Aircraft must be reduced in cost, made easier io fly. and they will have to become an essential to our routine of life b“fore they will be ■old in numbers which can be compared, even in a small way, with automobile sales. However, I believe the use of private aircraft by businessmen will increase ?ach year and that as times goes on the plane will become a necessity to many people as part of heir everyday life." The tendency on trunk airlines. I Lindbergh believes, will be toward i 'a’ger planes. In that connection, he pointed out that airlines are carrying more passengers than ‘hey were a year ago. Big planes are practical, he said, and express‘?d the cpinion that it would be entirely feasible to f'y the Donier DO-X across the ocean under propar conditions. Lindbergh considers gliding a very good way for beginners to obtain primary flying training. The average person can learn to fly a glider for abiut SIOO, tie said. "Where the terrain is favorable," he said, “soaring gliding is not only good training but an excellent sport.” Lindbergh regards tha auto-gyro as an interesting development show’ng many' possibilities. He said that its abinty to descend almost vertically and without danger of stalling shculd be of great value in making flying available for people who cannot devote the time necessary for a long course of training. In discussing such tragedies of the air as the R-101 fire, he said there were many dangers attendant of flights of new aircraft. “The fact that an airplane or an

airship is the largest or newest,” i he said, “does not mean that it is necessarily the meat efficient or safest. We must expect new types of aircraft regardless of the size or the experience behind th. ir manufacture, to be more susceptible to accident during their initial test, than smaller and older types which have lieen thoroughly developed." oI Extoritionist Sentenced Kansas City. Mo., Dec. 26—(UP) Charles Leonard Duncan , 23, was sentenced today to 2 years and six months in the penitentiary when he pleaded guilty to attempt eel third degree robbery in trying to extort #25,000 from R.

Correct posture is more like the military attitude at rest —namely, with heels apart, toes almost straight forward, the sides of the feet approximately opposite sides of a square. This attitude gives stability and poise and insures a proper distribution of the weight of the tiody upon the structures of the feet. o Wonderful Carpet One of the world's most famous jewelry designs, tne “Carpet of Pearls” In thF palace nt Bamda.

PROGRESSIVE G. O. P. SENATOR SCOFFS PLAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) five director of the republican nat-| ional committe 1 . with that organization's financial backing, had actively opposed Ncrris In Nebraska this year. Lucas, R' p. Will It. Wood., Ind., md other regulars who have join-' ed in approving the attempt to de- [ feat or oust Norris from Hi l party] Insist the anti Norris movement do-j vi-lotted without President lleov-i er's knowledge. Such insurgents' as Senators Brookhart, la.. Borah,! Idaho, Howell, Neb., to name only < a few, refuse- to accept this ex-[ planation and assert the regular! organization opposed ethers in ad-1 dit'on to Norris. The controversy is of proportions i warranting speculation r garding a third party but seasoned demo-1 crats, republicans and insurgents ate convinced no such movent nt will develop. They point, as did Norris, to the difficulty of creating] a national organization and recall lie Taft-Roos: ve t split in 1912 wb n even Roosevelt with his tremendous personal following was unable successfully to lead a formal insurgent movement. Tlie consensus apparently is that a third party split among republicans won’d deliver the 1932 elections and the presid ncy to th? I democrats. Senator James Couzens, Repn., ■ I Midi., who once undertook to back J Borali for president against Mt. Coclidge, scoffs at third party gossip. Another development hinting at future discord among republicans came in the announcement of Horace Mann, celebrated mystery man of the Hoover southern camI paign in 1928, that he would assemble republicans from southern Rates in Atlanta in F.bruary. They will launch an organization which will have as its object th selection of a solid block of southern delegates to the next republican convention. ' They won’U be for Mr. Hoover or against him," Mann said. "They will be for the south and against carpet-rag rule there. They will go to the n-xt republican convention, caucus, decide upon th?ir candidate and vote as a unit.’’ New Yoik, Bee. 26 —(U.RI—In his , letter to Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, urging him to I break away from the republican ; "machine" and form a new party, ■ Dr. John D.wey. chairman cf th? * League for Independent Po'itical ' Action, and outstanding American philosopher, spoke of a new party which “will win to the presidency in 1940 ami finally force combination of conservative republicans and democrats into cn -of th? old parties." . “Many outstanding men and women in th s country from evety

walk of life recognize the need and will support such an alignment" the letter said If the party were formed, it said, "we should th?n have a real conflict of ideas and a vital party of opposition which wcuid make for rapid [lolitical progress and give desperate workers and fanners a constructive vehicle of political expression. "The n publican party stands for “rugged" individualism. You slund for social planning and social control. Tli' controlling wing of the republican party places property rights first. You place human rights first. Just as the Whig party split < n the issue of slavery, tlie republican party will divide on this issue of social planning versus drugged individualism. "Tlie terrible stiff ring in this unemploymfnt orisis, the increasing fear of insecurity, the exploitation by public utilities companies and other monopolies resulting in our unjust distribution of wealth, and the nationalism and militarism which bn tight on the World war, will be rep ated under the present pol tical leadership.
