By competition, I mean sharpshooters like Charles Sutphin, national junior casting champion in 1943, 1944 and 1945. The age limit caught up with Charlie that year and he had to compete in the men's division which he proceeded to win in 1946 and again in 1947. The Butler freshman with 19 years behind him has plugged himself a niche in casting circles. The first round produced some startling results. My teacher, Mr, Carr, won with 98 points out of a 100.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28—I have a pretty stout bunch that I will not be among those present when Defense Secretary Forrestal calls in the editors and radio boys to talk about “voluntary peacetime censorship.” This conclave is supposed fo be held soon, to fret over “unauthorized leaks” of military secrets. : There is a simpler solution to this business of preventing “unauthorized leaks’ than setting up peacetime censorship board. All the defense %ss has to do is muffie the eager beavers in his mn lodge. Censorship within the gates, not with‘#48 -the ticket. - Secretary Forrestal can have is opinion for free. : : Most of the loose talk about what we've got and what we ain't got in the way of new killing loys seems to come right out of the lips of the professional warriors, The soldiers and the sailors and the bug-doctors, infatuated with their new fadgets and pushing their own particular branches of the service, pop off as eagerly as psychiatrists.
