NEW YORK: —Now York City is mourning on e of .its most colorful
persqmaliities-—(former Mayor James J. Walker. He died last night (at
6:25 EST) in Doctors’ Hospital of cerebral thrombosis—a blood clot on
tthe brain.
Walker bad been New York's mayor from 1925 to 1932 during riot
ous days of th e roaring twenties —th e days of flappers, speakeasies
and colossal .parade under ticker tape showers. He was internationally
known for his dapper dress and sparkling wit. Walker has resigned
his mayor’s .post in 1932 wihil e Tammany Hall was unde,, investiga
tion by tb e New York State Senate under the late President Franklin
D. Roosevelt, then governor.
WASHINGTON —There’s no longer any doubt that it was. President
Truman himself who ordered <hat federal court no-strike injunction
against John L. Lewis yesterday, Presidential. Secretary Charles Ross
saysfihc injunction was obtained on specific instructions from the Pres,
iden.t now enjoying .a Florida holiday at Key West. The restraining or
der warns Lewis not to give his miners the slightest sign that their
government coal contract may be terminated. '
Back in 1919, shortly after the first World War, President Wilson
obtained an injunction! against Lewis forbidding a similar coal strike.
And'that time,. Lewis backed down, saying his miners could not fight
the entire government.
WASHINGTON—'Budget Director James Webb has ordered govern-,
men! payroll ceilings cut down' more' than 144-thousand federal em
ployees. But he dismissals probably will not be as drastic as.this
personnel reduction might indicate because many agency payrolls are
riot up to their ceiling strength anyhow.
LONDON—That vigorous rebellion in Britain's House of Commons
has tome to nothing. After a three-hour debate led by 58 Laborite
members demanding warmer relations with Russia and less collabora

ically denied charges, that Britain had sought an exclusive Anglo-
American alliance, v

Greek Sea-Story Teller
By RALPH-PEARSON
Any ex-sailor on campus who
might be in the mood, for swap
ping sea stories would be. .in
terested in meeting the occupant
of room 26 in building 13 at Pol
lock Circle. Lieutenant Com
mander George Stamoulis, RUN,
of that address, would hold his
own with some to spare for his
naval career is probably un
matched for variety and action
by any other student at the Col
lege.
Has been around
'A special student in the me
chanical engineering graduate
school, Stamoulis has had a series
of adventures that include par
ticipation in the coronation cere
monies of the Rung of England in
1937, participation in the historic
naval battle/at Matapanan, having
his ship sunk by German dive
bomtoers, having a second ship
blown from under him by an
Italian submarine, and being
shelled by shore batteries .off the
Anzio beach-head.
Begins at 20
A native of Athens, Greece, he
started his naval career at the
age of 20 when he entered the
Royal Hellenic Naval Academy in
1934. Upon completing a post
graduate course there in 1939 he
iwas- assigned to the destroyer
Hydra, The Hydra' was sunk by
the powerful Penn Stare line,
punted to Petchel who returned,
the ball from the Lion 35. to the
47-yard line.
Petchel then whipped a 23-yard
pass to Wallace Triplett who went
to the Navy 29 before being
brought down. After making a
beautiful run of 14 yards, Petchel
passed to end Fred Bell who made
a leaping catch on the Navy
2-yard line. Again the Middie line\
stiffened, but on the third try
Petchel drive through right guard
to score.
Triplett Breaks Through
Later in the. second period with
Penn State in possession of the
ball on ils own 49-yard line,
Triplett took a lateral pass from
Petchel and weaved through the
entire Navy team before he was
caught by the Micldie safety man,
on the U-yard line.
Navy rose up in another goal
line stand and the Lions were un
able* to gain. On fourth down Ed
Czekrj went in to attempt a field
goal, and on the fake, Petchel
picked up the hall and Sped to
the Middle 3-yard marker before
he was thrown out of bounds.
Navy then kicked out of danger.

To Discuss Low Cost
Housing Plans Tonight
The immediate erection of low
cost housing, for. married veterans
on campus will be considered at
a housing meeting to be held in
110 Home Economics at 7:30 this
evening, according to Royce Nix,
chairman of the AVC housing
committee.
The current effort to bring
Quonset type dwellings to State
College calls for each interested
veteran to put up an investment
of $lOOO. However, Nix added, if
the veterans feel that this sum is
beyond their reach, an attempt
will be made to adjust downward
thd amount of money initially
needed.
Announcing that * Mr. Aikens,
president- of the First National
Bank in State College, may speak
at thevgathering, Nix said that
if there is not an adequate re
sponse 'tonight, the present plans
will be dropped entirely.
German bombers in the Gulf of
Athens in 194,1.
it was in December of 1942
while working with the British
Second Escort .Flotilla that Stam
oulis participated in the battle of
Matapanan in the Mediterranean.
It was here that units of the Brit
ish fleet destroyed a major por
tion of the Italian Navy. In all
official reports, Stamoulis says,
the British Admiralty is careful
to give credit to\ the Greek Navy
for their help in the engagement.
In June of 1943 he was aboard
the British troop transport Em
press of Canada when it was tor
pedoed off the coast of West Af
rica by an Italian submarine.
Arrives in U. S.
He arrived in New York in
May, 1943, where he was as
signed to duty on the LST 35. The
35 made a trip to England, then
to Anzio where it was forced to
stay under heavy fire from Ger
man shore batteries.
(His entry to the College was
made possible through special ar
rangements between the Greek
Admiralty and the United States
Navy.jnd was helped consider
ably by his having applied for
admission to an uncrowded grad
uate school.
After earning his M.A. in en
gineering, Stamoulis plans to re
turn to Greece for further duty
with the Greek Navy.
