CITY COUNCIL J < Continued > From Page One) ly drawn by simply following the guide of a triangle. But the east limits look as if someone had simply thrown a piece of loose string down.- But that’s not because of any lack of engineering skill; it is caused by the winding St. Mary’s,' So the city icouncllmeh closed their year’s meeting in special session, and they approved an ordinance which properly defines the limit of the city in all places. While no radical changes were made—and none intended— the city now knows its bounds. • • ->’• PETITION (Continued From Page One) i? 44. ’ ’ ’ "I The petition apparency was he result of long-time dissatisfaction over the McHale* regline arid may . have come to a head largely: through Democratic Hosses in the NoV. 6 municipal elections, when the Republicans captured nearly three-foiirths of Hoosier mayor chairs, and through McHale’s in? volvement in a stock transaction tn a concern which sold products to the government.

Aussies Split Final Matches To Retain Cup Sy.<Viey; Australia, Dec. 2$. —tIJP> —Th® brilliant Australian tennis squad, powered by the great Frank Sedgman, won the Davis ’ cup for the second year in a\ row today by defeating the underdog U.S. team, 3,2 j Sedgman, considered the world’s greatest aitaateur net star, provided the winning margin when he whipped young Vic Seixas of the American ..team, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2: Previously ther. Australian ,lace had won an opening-day singles match against Ted Schroeder and yesterday he participated in the key doubles triumph fbr the Aussies. So the cup goes “down under” for the second jyear in a row : —and the best chances of getting it back to America appeared to be based on the fact that Sedgman is expected to turn professional within the next few days. After the underdog American squad had knotted the match count at 2-2 today when Schroeder had trimmed youthful Mervyn Rose, 6-4, 13-11, 7-5. the burden of winning the cup fell to Sedgman—as it had right from the opening day. He had the shots and the know-how to turn bSck Seixis without tpo much trouble. \ -The American put t)p a courageous battle, but the ever-steady Australian just outwaited Seixas and forced him to err. , The surprising thiinfc about the match was the fact that, the crowd cheered wildly for the American when he made a brilliant shot—and especially ii> the second set when Vic broke through Sedgman’s service., Schroeder is a big favorite down here and the crowd was saddened by his poor showings the first two days when he lost his opening singles match to Sedgman, and then got thumped in straight sets in the doubles. So the fans were pulling for him today when he took, the court against Rose. They knew that Schroeder was favored —half hopeful that the young Aussie might upset him. But In that long second set, when Rose erred four times on set point, they gave up and went all out for, the American—who may have been playing his last Davis cup tennis.

CHURCHILL (Continued From Pnae Onel bases in Britain should provide the British with a voice in how, when and where atomic weapons would be used. ( Churchill also, is expected to ask for ail increased exchange of atomic energy information between the two countries. The free flow of atomic energy data during World War II was virtually cut off by the 1946 congressional act that banned, the United States from revealing its atom secrets. This was amended somewhat by the last congress but exchange of data on atomic weapons is still prohibited. 2 FOX CHASES Saturday, December 29th and , Tuesday, January Ist 8;00 A. M.
