Filmfolk Contempt Charges Asked by Congressman

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. UP) - Chairman J. Parnell Thomas of the house unAmerican activities committee today asked the house to cite 10 top-flight Hollywood directors and writers for contempt for refusing to say whether they were communists. The New Jersey Republican brushed aside arguments of the film personalities that the communist question asked of them during committee hearings violated their constitutional rights. He told the house committee had every right to ask them-"Are you now or have you ever been a communist?" "To say that a committee of the Congress cannot inquire into the subversive affiliation-the treasonable affiliation, if you please, Mr. Speaker-of an individual, is ridiculous," Thomas said. "The constitution was never intended to cloak or shield those who would destroy it."

Honeymoon Plans Are Changed As Royal Couple Seeks Privacy

ROMSEY, Nov. 24. (UP)-Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip decided to cut short their honeymoon at Broadlands estate and go to Scotland because of the crowds that have besieged this little town since their arrival, it was reported today. They plan to leave for Scotland Thursday or Friday. Their original plans were to stay at Broadlands two weeks and at Birkhall, near Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, for two weeks more. But after seeing the crowds hoping to get a look at them, they were reported to have agreed that Birkhall offered more privacy.

Texas Seen Cinch to Play Alabama in Sugar Bowl Game

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 24. (UP)-It looked sawed up today for Texas to get a bid to play already-asked Alabama in the Sugar Bowl hero Jan. 1. But there was one important loose angle. What about Ole Miss and Charley Conerly and Barney Poole? When Alabama accepted the invitation last Saturday, President Sam Corens wet of the Mid-Winter Sports Assn., said the second Sugar Bowl team would be announced Nov. 29. But why wait until Saturday when Texas, expected choice, was slated to wind up its season on Thanksgiving day against the Texas Aggies? That was the question which had fanned up a stiff breeze in every barber shop in the city.

Michigan Named for Rose Bowl

CHICAGO, Nov. 24. (UP)-The University of Michigan was selected unanimously by Big Nine representatives today to represent the conference in the Rose Bowl football game at Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 1. Southern California will be the West Coast entry.

Work of Violinist Ricci Called 'Sensational' by Critic

By JINNY CONSTANCE Ruggiero Ricci, young American violinist, made a sensational impression Sunday afternoon at Miami Senior High school when he appeared as soloist with the University of Miami Symphony orchestra under the baton of Mr. Modeste Alloo. Ricci's playing of the Paganini D major concerto was a brilliant work of artistry. He tossed off the most intricate technicalities of the work with amazing rapidity, and read warmth and sincerity into his interpretation. Musically, we consider the score weak, but through the hands of a supper musician such as Ricci, the opus ranks in the realm of great violin music. It is a composition in which the performer must be able to cope with difficult technical problems without losing the interpretive power. Certainly Ricci is the artist, for, in him, we found both qualities-technical skill and music sensitivity. Ricci's tones are flawlessly and effortlessly produced. The purity of his violin will live long in the memory of those who heard him; as will his excellent musicianship and his deep appreciation for his art. In three encores, two Caprices by Paganini, Nos. 9 and 24, and a Wieniawski Etude, Ricci displayed even more showmanship and musical excellence. Ravishing tone quality combined with superb bowing made the audience well aware that they were hearing some of the finest violin playing heard here in several years. The orchestra under Conductor Modeste Alloo did sympathetic accompanying throughout the Paganini Concerto, and took the spotlight during the first portion of concert by presenting a contrasting symphonic program. Sinigaglia's sprightly overture to his comic opera, "Le Baruffe Chiozzotte" opened the program. The orchestra's woodwind section was heard to good advantage in this, and neat percussion instruments also added to the charm of the work. First violinist, William Barwick, was credited with fine solo passages throughout the concert. Like the Sinigaglia opus, Arnold Bax's "Tintagel" tone poem, received a hearing. Both works are seldom performed here, and we welcomed them into our current repertoire. "Tintagal" is a fascinating, Debusay-like composition, which Dr. Alloo seemed to interpret deeply and with richness and sonorous qualities. Schumann's Fourth Symphony in D minor was the major opus of the first half of the concert. We commend the orchestra, and Dr. Alloo on their splendid performance of the symphony. The music of Schumann, melodious as it is, is nevertheless, involved and taxing to interpret. Therefore, we feel that the orchestra played exceedingly well. Their attacks were clean, and it was well-balanced, and well proportioned. The second movement, Romanza, stood out in our mind as being particularly lovely, having a good introduction and development section. This successful program, with Ruggiero Ricci as soloist, will be repeated tonight at 8:30 in the Miami Senior High school auditorium.

Bama's Comeback Turns Into 'Why We Fight' Opus

By WILLIAM SHIRES UP Sports Writer ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 24-The race for the crown that goes with the Eastern Conference football season was fought-bowl bide and the SEC crown-will be finally settled this week. The issue was already partially settled for Alabama, the team that taught the rest how to go from obscurity to the Sugar Bowl in nine games. Alabama, which accepted the Sugar Bowl bid Saturday after lambasting LSU 41 to 12, has not given up hopes of also winning the conference crown despite a mediocre beginning that produced two losses. It all depended on the outcome of two traditional games between keen rivals in Mississippi and Georgia. Anything could happen-as history will bear out-in the annual clashes between Georgia Tech and Georgia and between Mississippi State and the University of Mississippi. Should Georgia Topple Tech and State beat Mississippi, Alabama would have the jackpot again. The Tide has a "coaster" Saturday with Miami which got beat Friday night 7 to 6 by Florida. The once-beaten Rebels of Mississippi will be gunning for their first conference in closing their season this week-end. If they beat State they'll have it in the bag, with six wins to one loss. But if States pulls an upset over Mississippi and Tech does to Georgia what the Ramblin' Wreck Fighting Son says to do then the Yellow Jackets will be on top of the heap. The regular season closes Saturday except for one game on Dec. 6 between Tulane and LSU which won't settle anything except another state rival issue. While LSU was bowing to Alabama Saturday, Tulane was getting a 59-to-6 trouncing from Notre Dame. Tennessee pulled a late season upset to beat favored Kentucky, 13 to 6, and Clemson whipped Auburn, 34 to 18.

Gables Dreams of Dim Xmas As Tree Bulbs Hit Rare List

(Continued from Page One) mas bulbs were made; second, the many new families setting up homes and, last, lack of imported lamps, which formerly amounted to 75 to 100 million annually. Frank Tye of the Gables Appliance Company has a few hundred Christmas sets, with wires and all. The sets go for from $1.84 up. But his 300 or so extra bulbs are all sold out. They went on display only last week. Rogers Electric has a few boxes of bulbs, with white and blue the only colors. They're hoping for more as well. Most of the Christmas sets are wired in series, which means if one bulb blows out, all the lights go off. Without replacement bulbs, most owners' sets are useless.

Contends Farm Women Need Better Shoes

LINCOLN, Neb. (UP) - Shoe manufacturers, a University of Nebraska clothing specialist claims, are not doing right by the nation's farm women. Practical, reasonably-priced shoes have been designed for nurses, tennis players and girl scouts, but not for the girls on the farm, Helen Rocke complains. The farm homemaker, Miss Rocke says, wants shoes she can wear for outdoor work. They must now buy "heavy, clumsy things that are too tiring for feminine feet." What is needed is comfortable shoes that are sturdily, moisture-resistant, with flexible soles, medium heels, arch supports and trimly-shaped, reinforced toes.

Lucky Charm Ring Comes Back from Okinawa

PITTSBURGH (UP) - When Seaman William F. Cornman lost his lucky charm high school ring on Okinawa during the war, he figured his chances for getting a new luck piece were considerably better than for finding his old one. He reckoned without the honesty and luck of Seabee Robert Walker of Carbondale, Pa. Walker found the ring among seashells on a Guam beach several months later and returned it to its owner through identification stamped inside the ring.
