Cardinal Penrod supported thd brunt of his team’s offense marking up the highest, total for them; five points. Decatur was ahead at the end o\ the first quarter 20-13. \ A second period spurt attempted by Geneva in the second < period literally netted the bird men’-apoth-ing, the Jackets’ Pollock, coining through with inspired shooting for six. of the 12 points the Jackets’ added Ln the second ■stanza to lead 32-25. ’ in the last period Geneva rd. Hanni romped through Decatur’s defense, basketing a nea\t eight points. Schisler and Tester bolstered their buddy, sharing nine points between them.

Styles Bridges ’ have persuaded him to reconsider his decision to step down as senate Republican floor leader and have urged him tq seek reelection to the post; it was learned today. Sen.’ Robert A. Taft R-p. has already declared himself | “available” for the job if Bridges withdraws.. Sen. William F. Knowland R-cal. also has declared himself a candidate. It has been known since shortly after the Noy. 4 election dthat the New Hampahire senator wanted to take the chairmanship of the senate appropriations committee next year along with the largely honorary past of senate president pro tempore. <He regarded the combination of the appropriations committee chairmanship, which he particularly wanted, and the floor leader’s job as too’great a burden for one man. Earlier this, week, it was learned that sfone senate GOP leaders had tentatively' agreed ' on ,\a plan to install Taft in the flooJ leadership ; post and Knowland in the senate ,GOP policy committee chairmanship, which Taft how holds. These developments already have produced rumblings. Some Republicans have said privately that there are Other senators entitled to the policy committee chairmanship ahead pf Knowland, whp has served seven years in the senate.; Other Republicans have been wary of electing Taft to the floor leadership lest they be caught in the middle of a possible conflict between 4he Ohio senator and .President-elect 'Eisenhower, |_ ; One of Bridges’ friends said a plan has beep suggested to the New Hampshire senator Which would enable to take both the appropriations committee chairman-, ship; and the floor leader job. This plan was said to call for creating an assistant 'floor leadership; With Knowland the likely choice, to handles some of the work on the floor. It also would call for shifting some of the appropriations committee work to Sen. Homer Ferguson R-Mich; in a hewIjE created job qf committee vice chairman.
