CALM NEW YORK. Though the cost has doubled, hunters and scientists are shooting elephants in Uganda and inquiring into the fossilized riddles of the earth's inaccessible places in increasing numbers. Professional organizers of big game safaris say they are booking hunting trips as far ahead 'as 1950. Some of these hunt&rs want elephants and lions. Others want gorillas, white rhinos, pythons, kudu, zebra or buffalo. It may be taken for granted that Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda and othei provinces will receive them warmly, for they will spend considerable sums of money which help Africas hunt for hard currency. The urgency of the need for dollar exchange has alerted officials all over Africa to the advisability of streamlined safaris for hurried American hunters. A busy man can fly to any part of the continent, bag a generous number of trophies, and be back in domestic harness in less than a month. Professional Safari Men But for those who have a little time, there are professional safari men who organize a hunt for a blanket price. This takes care of all details, Including transportation, the full time services of a professional white hunter with not less than 10 years experience, all food and accommodationi, all tentage and camp equipment, native trackers, gun bearers, skinners, cooks and personal servants. If more than one sportsman is along, another professional hunter Is provided without extra cost. Some hunters prefer to go It alone, but this Is inadvisable unless with previous experience. For one thing, the licenses needed cost upward of $700. The aervlces of a free lance professional white hunter are between $500 and $1,000 a month. There are vehicles to be tended, and In parts of Africa gasoline costs $2.50 a gallon. Licenses-ArExpensive In Tanganyika, a general hunting license costs $375. But this la not good for elephants, ostrich and certain other animals A license to shoot a single elephant costa $100, If a hunter wishes to shoot another, the second license is $150.

New winter accident facts, based on research by FACTS National Safety council, reveal alarming increase of skidding and poor visibility crashes during snowy, icy weather. Authorities urge equalized brakes, using tire chains, windshield wipers, defrosters, good tights and lower speeds to minimize the added winter seasonal hazards. The National Safety council's six rules for safe winter driving are: feel of the road before you start out, (2) Adjust speed (1) Get the to road, weather and traffic, (3) Use tire chains on Ice and snow, (4) Keep windshields and windows clear, (5) Pump your brakes on snow or ice. Don't lock wheels, (6) Follow at a safe distance.

Alexander la footballs philosopher. He has known the game from the front line for over 48 years. He has a marvelous sense of humor ' an amazing understanding of vaiuea. Here's an Alexander story that goes back exactly 20 years to 1928 and explains Alex: Georgia Teeh was playing its final game of the season against Notre Dame This game meant staying home or going to the Rose BowL "How are things?"

If the party includes four sports' men, each man pays $1,050 for 30 days; $1,575 for 45 days; $2,100 for 0 60 days; $2,625 for 75 days, and for 90 days. All the sportsman does Is bring his own gun and camera, and if he hasnt any, these are provided, too. Once In the field, all he has to do is walk along with the professional hunter, who selects the best heads, tells him where to stand and when to shoot. It Is less easy to estimate the costs of scientific expeditions. They range into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. $3,-15- TAKES PLEDGE . . . Michael J.
