Refuse Appeal
WASHINGTON —T h e Senate
Republican Policy Committee all
but turned a deaf ear yesterday
to President Truman's call for
reserve powers to control prices
and wages and to ration scarce
items. Chairman Robert Taft is
sued a statement saying the
G.O.P. leaders have decided to
place those presidential sugges
tions at the end of the list. This
would indicate that the most
controversial section of the Pres

will be held off until the regular
session in January.
Unconstitutional
CLEVELAND —T h e Housing
and Rent Act of 1947 has been
held unconstitutional by a fed
eral district judge, Paul Jones.
He declared—in a case brought
by a Cleveland landlord—that
Congress does not have the power
to enforce local rent control
under the cloak of war emer
gency when peace has returned.
Britain Declines
LAKE SUCCESS—Britain yes
terday declined to share the last
days of her mandate over Pales

Nations commission. The British
United Nations delegate, Si r

government believes a concur
rent administration would create
confusion and disorder.

Pitt Panther Purrs Li°
by Mike Levine—Pitt News Staff
Pitt's mighty Panther is licking its chops—here
comes Penn State again.
Yes, this is one cat-fight we at Pitt are anticipat
ing witlg, a great deal of pleasure. The bill-of-fare
for Thanksgiving is going to feature mountain-lion
steak.
State's team is coming to Pittsburgh with a line
record of wins behind them but have two great
obstacles to overcome before they can lick Pitt. For
one thing, in a series of 47 games, Pitt has the In
dian sign over the Blue and White, winning 28 and
tying two.
Secondly, Coach Milligan's men are going to be
up for this game, having suffered several ignoble
defeats at the hands of some of the toughest teams
in the country.
Without a doubt the Penn State squad has won
some games in splendid form; teams in their own
league. On the other hand, Pitt has encountered a
succession of Big Nine powerhouse outfits and bowl
contenders and has gone' down spitting and clawing
to losses that are deceiving when the scores are
read.
We are counting on our boys. We think they will
win over State, more our size than the other teams
we have played. We expect them to win because

Last year Penn State was the favorite: once agai n

to be disappointed.

"A team is more than just 11

outstanding. It's that steady,

Lines From the Lion
Height of Ignorance
Dear Gang,
I was reading the "Pitt News."
It said that "Hig's poor little
lambs are coming out for their
annual shearing." That's the kind
of talk they use out here in this
inverted mineshaft.
Then they call our crushers the
"w onder boys" for defeating
Bucknell and Fordham. And say
"They'll make another futile ef
fort to 'win 'em all for the Mg.' "
I told these Pitts that Clyde
Scott, Navy's All-American cen
ter, wasn't fooling when he rated
the Nittany line better than
Notre Dame's. And you know
what the Irish did to Pitt.
The only way to stamp but all
this small talk of the Pitt pussy
cat is to pulverize them, thrash
them soundly. I'll have no milk
sopping tabby stealing crumbs
from the feast of the roaring Nit
tany .Lion.
For the glory,
THE LION
Rumor Spiked
There is no basis for the
rumors circulating aro u n d
Campus that a holi 'ay will be
declared should the Nittany
Lions finish the football season
unbeaten, Wilmer Kenworthy,
executive secretary to the
president, stated yesterday.
Whether a holiday will be
declared if State wins Satur
day's game will not be decided
until Monday, he said.
"Let's think about winning
the game first," he addes%
They're planning to have Lion steaks for Thanks
giving down in Pittsburgh. But from the top of Mt.
Nittany it looks as though they better start order
ing mustard, for the bill of fare will more likely be
pantherburgers.
This week—more than any other time this
season—Penn State's mighty, mcbile football
juggernaut is in high gear. That nationally-lauded
Navy victory last Saturday in Baltimore's pue.dle
bedecked Municipal Stadium just hinted at the
hoard of power stored under those Blue and
White jerseys. It makes thi s week's contest look
like an open and shut case for the "Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Small Children."
Pitt's team will probably come out of this game
looking like their Height of Ignorance fell on
them.
To console themselves, they're talking about hav
ing the Indian sian on State. This Saturday co
captains Johnny Nolan and Potsklan aren't going
to s pend their time praying to voodoo gods. They're
going to be playing football—a tougher. more vic
ious brand of ball than Pitt's limning Panther has
had the misfortune of being ground under in many,
many a year.
And they needn't pray for rain in the "Smoky
City" either. It was once thourfht that mud was th,- ,
