--♦ detailed legislative proposals to
I carry out the anti-inflation pro-j gram outlined by President Tru-i man in his state of the union mes-! sage last month.
PRICES TO RISE
He delivered the recommenda-! tions to House Speaker Sam Rayburn after Presidential Economic Adviser John D. Clark told the ; joint Congressional Economic com-; mittee that prices probably will ! start climbing again despite recent i drops.
In addition to wage-price con-i trols, the administration asked for broad powers to relieve or prevent [ shortages of critical materials.
GOVT. LOANS
To do this, the government would | be empowered to make long-term I low-interest loans to private mdus-| try to increase production capacity I or, as a "last resort,” to build and ! operate plants of its own.
The president also would have 1 standby authority to compel in-] dustry to channel scarce goods to essential uses, if he found it impossible to get results with the pres- | ! ent voluntary allocation program.
Another provision would give tne ; president a new $20.000-a-year spe- | cial assistant to administer price controls.
60 DAYS NOTICE
The assistant would consult with j industry advisory' committees before imposing any permanent price ceil- I ing. He could establish a 90-day temporary ceiling without consul- j ta tions.
Producers of commodities which i •'significantly affect the cost of liv- i ing” would be required to give the administrator and the public 60 j days notice before boosting their i prices.
Before a ceiling could be estab- i lished on any commodity, the ad- : ministrator would have to show that the price had risen since December, 1948, or that it threatened to rise enough to affect the cost of living ‘'significantly.”
DEC. INDEX MONTH The ceiling would be based on the price level prevailing in December or “the nearest representative period.”
The proposed bill specified that any ceiling on farm products or goods manufactured from farm products must be at least as hign as the parity price of the product.
Many farm products, particularly grains, recently have been selling well below parity prices. Seme have dropped below the government price support level which usually is 90 per cent of parity.
Wage controls would be administered by a board composed of two representatives of the public, two of employers, and two employees.

Burger King Elected on Row, Refuses to Defend Crown
Alpha Epsilon Pi boasts of the “Hamburger King of SC” today. Ex-President Charles Posner topped off a steak dinner by gulping down 13 straight burgers “with everything” Monday night.
To top it off, Posner demanded pie for dessert. (He was
refused.)
He was served three burgers at a time. His fraternity brothers would allow him only one glass of water during the contest.
“My throat got kinda dry,” he said later.
Fraternity brothers bet him $5 that he couldn’t take advantage of a local cafe’s offer to give a dozen such sandwiches to any man who could consume them.
“It’s the first time since I opened two years ago that anyone has accomplished the feat,” said Ralph Emerson, manager, “and he did it in less than 45 minutes!”
The fraternity immediately challenged anyone on the Row to a contest with the “champ,” but Posner declined.
“I stand on my record,” he groaned. “I’m not that crazy all the time.”
Asked why he ate the 13th sandwich, Posner said, “Well, they had to take the pictures.”
After the feast he took a “slow walk” and ate little breakfast yesterday morning, he said.
Alpha Epsilon Pi offers a “Hamburger King” trophy to anyone who can better the record.

by Sally Weeks
A demonstration on the estima-I tion of speed of an automobile by measuring skid marks was given yesterday afternoon by Capt. Har-| old W. Sullivan, SC instructor in traffic control, as part of the Traf-1 fic Court institute now in progress ! at the School of Law.
The traffic test took piace on University avenue in front of the Law build.ng, as a group of traffic court judges and prosecutors, and a crowd of interested student' looked on and made observations The skid marks were measured by a reactometer, a device attached to the front bumper and connected by a cord to the inside of the police car used for the tes.t. The reactcmeter, contained a yellow crayon.
EXPLOSION SIGNAL Captain Sullivan drove the car. When his assistant pulled the cord,
f a sharp report was set off simultaneous with the marking of the pavement by the yellow crayon, j This explosion was a signal for ; Captain Sullivan to put on the brakes. A second report sounded as the crayon marked the pavement a second time. The distance between the two marks was rhe number of fee: required to stop the car at a certain peed.
SC GRADUATE
Captain Sullivan is head of the I accident investigation division of I the Los Angeles Police department. A graduate of SC. he is also in-1 structor in traffic control under the 1 c vie center division cf the School of Public Administration.
The purpose of the demonstration was to show how traffic court j officials determine scientifically the minimum speed of automobiles involved in accidents by measuring j the skid marks. They can estimate
I how much time it takes to apply ; the brakes, and the time required for the driver to come to a stop.
SKIDS MEASURED In the first demonstration, Cap-j tain Sullivan drove 21 miles an hour, .ind his skid marks were 18 ^ feet long. The distance from the 1 first chalk mark to the oeginnlng of the skid was 12 feet. His reaction time, or time required to put his foot on the brake, was about 30 feet a 'econd, but Captain Sullivan explained that he was pre-: pared for it, while drivers ordinar-j ily are not prepared to stop sud-! denly.
Captain Sullivan drove 42 miles an hour in the second test. Thi'
I time his skid marks were 77 feet long, and his reaction time was 60 feet a second. He pointed out that at 42 miles an hour, the distance required for a car to stop was four times as great as at a speed of 21 miles an hour.
Queen Cool To Bogus King
He only wanted a kiss but instead he got crowned.
That was the fate of Kappa Sig j Bill Martin at the first all-Row Valentine open house Monday.
The object of his affections was j newly crowned Queen Carol Lee Counts, Kappa Alpha Theta pledge.
Delta Zeta sponsors had chosen a King and Queen of Hearts at j the pledge get-acquainted affair: when it was discovered that the | king was not a pledge but an active house member.
He was promptly titled, “peren- | nial-pledge-and-active- in - name- i only Martin,” and crowned king.
The cagey Kappa Sig immediate- 1 ly ret out to buss his fair lady.
Photographers immortalized the event while spectators ate the coronation gift, a Valentine box of candy.
Delta Zeta Florence Thomasian, social chairman of the sponsoring house said the event would prob-j ably become an annual affair.
“The success was possible only through 100 per cent Row cooper- ; ation,” she said.
SC Producers Seek TV Talent
Sufficient talent hasn’t yet been procured for the television show, “Tommy Trojan Presents . . S-Capades,” which is being produced by the Television Production class.
Auditions will be held Thursday, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the Student lounge. Anyone interested may try out, but should come prepared with his own material. There is no limit to the acts.
Especially needed are dance and rhythm acts, novelty acts, vocalists, instrumentalists, comedy routines, skits, monologues, or short dramatic sketches.

Local Meanies 'Hound' George
It would seem that the Brums aren’; the only ones who have it in for'George Tirebiter, the hard-luck canine of the year.
Yesterday it was discovered that the local kiddies are u~ing the Trojan's official mascot’s cage for target practice. Probably inspired by the baseball team's battery practice, several small boys have been pitching dirt clods and rocks against the wire of Tirebiter's kennel. Some of this has, of course, reached George and may account for some of his reluctance to stay in his enclosure.
Whoever is supposed to be looking after George should find some way to meet his latest problem.

Neyman. university chaplain, and Mrs. Neyman will k* guests of honor. by Sally Weeks A demonstration on the estima-I tion of speed of an automobile by measuring skid marks was given yesterday afternoon by Capt. Har- old W. Sullivan, SC instructor in traffic control, as part of the Traf-1 fic Court institute now in progress ! at the School of Law. The traffic test took piace on University avenue in front of the Law build.ng, as a group of traffic court judges and prosecutors, and a crowd of interested student' looked on and made observations The skid marks were measured by a reactometer, a device attached to the front bumper and connected by a cord to the inside of the police car used for the tes.t. The reactcmeter, contained a yellow crayon. EXPLOSION SIGNAL Captain Sullivan drove the car. When his assistant pulled the cord, f a sharp report was set off simultaneous with the marking of the pavement by the yellow crayon, j This explosion was a signal for ; Captain Sullivan to put on the brakes. A second report sounded as the crayon marked the pavement a second time. The distance between the two marks was rhe number of fee: required to stop the car at a certain peed. SC GRADUATE Captain Sullivan is head of the I accident investigation division of I the Los Angeles Police department. A graduate of SC. he is also in-1 structor in traffic control under the 1 c vie center division cf the School of Public Administration. The purpose of the demonstration was to show how traffic court j officials determine scientifically the minimum speed of automobiles involved in accidents by measuring j the skid marks. They can estimate I how much time it takes to apply ; the brakes, and the time required for the driver to come to a stop. SKIDS MEASURED In the first demonstration, Cap-j tain Sullivan drove 21 miles an hour, .ind his skid marks were 18 ^ feet long. The distance from the 1 first chalk mark to the oeginnlng of the skid was 12 feet. His reaction time, or time required to put his foot on the brake, was about 30 feet a 'econd, but Captain Sullivan explained that he was pre-: pared for it, while drivers ordinar-j ily are not prepared to stop sud-! denly. Captain Sullivan drove 42 miles an hour in the second test. Thi' I time his skid marks were 77 feet long, and his reaction time was 60 feet a second. He pointed out that at 42 miles an hour, the distance required for a car to stop was four times as great as at a speed of 21 miles an hour. Queen Cool To Bogus King He only wanted a kiss but instead he got crowned. That was the fate of Kappa Sig j Bill Martin at the first all-Row Valentine open house Monday. The object of his affections was j newly crowned Queen Carol Lee Counts, Kappa Alpha Theta pledge. Delta Zeta sponsors had chosen a King and Queen of Hearts at j the pledge get-acquainted affair: when it was discovered that the king was not a pledge but an active house member. He was promptly titled, “peren- nial-pledge-and-active- in - name- i only Martin,” and crowned king. The cagey Kappa Sig immediate- 1 ly ret out to buss his fair lady. Photographers immortalized the event while spectators ate the coronation gift, a Valentine box of candy. Delta Zeta Florence Thomasian, social chairman of the sponsoring house said the event would prob-j ably become an annual affair. “The success was possible only through 100 per cent Row cooper- ; ation,” she said.

Local Meanies 'Hound' George It would seem that the Brums aren’; the only ones who have it in for'George Tirebiter, the hard-luck canine of the year. Yesterday it was discovered that the local kiddies are u~ing the Trojan's official mascot’s cage for target practice. Probably inspired by the baseball team's battery practice, several small boys have been pitching dirt clods and rocks against the wire of Tirebiter's kennel. Some of this has, of course, reached George and may account for some of his reluctance to stay in his enclosure. Whoever is supposed to be looking after George should find some way to meet his latest problem. • Today s Headlines • by United Press Connally Upholds Pact Stand Almost 500 memberships were sold in the first two days of the Howard Harding Jones Memorial YMCA drive.
