Had the President been ' playing politics, as charged, it would seem the simplest thing to do would tee been to slash it to the bone down to where even Congressman John Tater couldn't cut it. But 79 per cent of this budget, or 31 billion dollars ' in round figures. is, in the President's words, "the cost of war, the effects ; of war and our efforts to prevent a future war." Only 21 per cent, or aboui tight billion, represents the expense of running the government i ; j debt reduction or will it be at the expense of governmental 1 5 J services here at borne? 1 MThe President painted a rosy picture of the state of the union: i Corporate profits the highest In history; 58 million persons working, which i U 10.5 per cent more than in 1940; production 7 per cent over 1946 and 78 i;. ireent over the 1935-39 average; consumer Income the greatest ever at U4!G4 per capita compared to $1,074 in 1946; business Investment In plant i equipment and inventories more than 25 billion dollars, four billion over ,1340. . l' The President says the figures are misleading that prices are i outstripping wages, high income families are losing purchasing power,' . livings accounts are shrinking, credit is expanding dangerously. !

James M. Hollowy Jr., head of the U. S. naval academy, hasn't called us in to help select Navy's next coach is that Admiral Ad-miral Holloway is an extremely smart person one of the finest types West Point or Annapolis have drawn to date and a better educator educa-tor than he is a football selector. Another reason Is that the admiral ad-miral figured we would cast our vote for Capt Tom Hamilton, who is now Navy's director of athletics.

And experience experi-ence is the most vital requisite of GrantlandRlce V footbBl1 coacn-Suppose coacn-Suppose Navy had its pick of the field? Who would be the one to select? Among the best coaches in college football In no selected order we could name the following: Leahy, Notre Dame; Crisler, Michigan; Little, Columbia; Red Blalk, Army; Matty Bell, S.M.U.; Jimmy Phelan, St. Mary's; Blair Cherry, Texaa; Jim Tatum, Maryland; Mary-land; Wallace Wade, Duke; Paul Bryant, Kentucky; Red Sanders, Vanderbilt; Bobby Dodd, Georgia Tech; Wally Butts, Georgia, and Bernle Blerman, Minnesota. But how many of these can Navy get? I don't think Navy could get Leahy, Crisler or Little. I doubt that Navy wo'Jd reach for Blalk. I've heard two names mentioned lately Phelan of St Mary's and Tatum of Maryland. Either would be an excellent ex-cellent choice. Fhelan's 1945 or 194S St Mary's team was certainly as well coached as Leahy's Notre Dame teams or Crisler's Michigan teams. Leahy and Crisler currently are rated on top. Both are brilliant coaches. But no one knows how large a part the best material plays In football Coaching and Material In my book, material is far more important than coaching. Leahy and Crisler have had far the best material mate-rial lately. They have had material that completely outclassed rival players through the last year, and both know It They have been meeting teams that never had a man who could make their first squad line or back-field. back-field. Notre Dame and Michigan steadily get the best material In the Midwest, a strong football sector. There is no such monopoly in other sections. Since the war Army end Navy took a drop a terrific drop on Navy's side. Material is important, but a smart, keen, alert coach also Is a big help. Modern football moves at a killing pace. There are so many new offenses and defenses that coach slightly behind the times is completely bewildered. A football coach Is the hardest working instructor In the realm of sport. No other coach In any other game faces such consistent pressure. pres-sure. No other coach faces so many problems, has so many worries, so many shocks. The pro game Is full of fine coaches: Paul Brown, Steve Owen, Sutherland, Greasy Neale, Buck Shaw on and on. But the answer here is still largely material. I have no record of Navy's material ma-terial for 1948. But It should match Army's, and with a pro coach such as Phelan or Tatum or one of that class, Navy Isn't going through a season again winning one game a year. Navy has won only two games In the last two years. This won't happen hap-pen through 1948. A Possible Tangle The Big Nine either Is gambling on Minnesota to win her conference crown next fall or figuring the West Coast Is too dazed to care what bap-pens. bap-pens. At least nothing so far has been done about sending her second or third-place team to the Rose Bowl game in case Michigan and Illinois run 1-2. Our information on Illinois Is slight But our information on Michigan Michi-gan is complete, and it Indicates that the Wolverines will be Just about as tough next fall as they were last season. Michigan loses a flock of stars, Including Chappuis, Weisenburger, Yerges, Mann, Ford and Pritula. But there will be more than enough stars left to plug the gap and make the Wolverines again as formidable as any squad in the land. Bernie Bierman at Minnesota will have a fast, powerful line, one of the best In football. But he could use 1 one or. two of Michigan's backs. The point is this suppose Michi gan wins again and the Big Nine sends out Minnesota or Purdue to play against the Pacific Coast conference con-ference champions?

By INEZ GERHARD TIKE Myrna Loy, Merla JL Oberon and Gene Tierney, radio actress Alice Frost began be-gan her acting career with exotic ex-otic oriental roles; like them, she is best known today as a typical American girl, the light-hearted, adventuresome "Pamela "Pam-ela North" of the CBS "Mr. and Mrs. North." A heavy Oriental diet was too much for her, so she set about the serious business of learning learn-ing to gather laughs. She was a stooge for such masters of the art as ALICE FROST Bob Hope, Fanny Brice, Walter O'Keefe and CoL Stoopnagle, working work-ing at it while other girls strove to become radio's equivalent of Bette Davis. Those years have paid off in her success as "Mrs. North." February 13 Is a big date for Dinah Shore.

Here's one I thought you might got a kick out of, too. Last fall a fellow out in the cow country advertised some Whiteface steer calves for sale at a surprisingly low price. A nearby rancher went over to see them. The herd, he soot discovered, was badly infected with i shipping fever. So he suggested that the owner vaccinate with our Hem Sept serum right away. So far, so good. But here's the kicker a couple of years ago this rancher wouldn't have recommended a Cutter iroduct on a bet. He'd had some big osses from shipping fever, and it looked as if our bacterin had failed. But he checked back, like the square-shooter square-shooter he is, and found that chances were he'd missed part of the herd. So he gave some of our stuff another chance. And it did such a good job he's been throwing passes for our team ever since I Every day I hear about somebody getting more good results by using Penicillin. (We call oura Penivet.)
