Snyder told an overflow crowd in Hancock auditorium Wednesday morning. He spoke at ceremonies which installed six new Internal Revenue Service officials and established the Bureau of In-
terftal Revenue’s reorganization

‘‘In streamlining the Revenue Bureau’s operations, we have provided for improved supervision of employee conduct, and helped eliminate the temptation to which some employees have succumbed in the past,” Secretary Snyder said.
Interview
In an interview following the secretary’s speech. Snyder commented on the new administration’s appointment of industrialist George M. Humphrey who will fill Snyder’s position next year: “Humphrey is a very able man and our department is giving every possible assistance to make the transition as easy as possible.
“The treasury,” he explained, “is the business end of government and must always work smoothly.”
Because of this, Snyder feels the change to Eisenhower’s administration will have little effect on the bureau’s reorganization program.
Civil Service
“These appointments were made by a board of selection purely on the basis of merit, and politics should not interfere with these positions,” he explained.
“One provision of the reorganization plan is to eliminate all noncareer offices in the revenue service except the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,” he said. “All other posts will now be filled by Civil Service appointees.”
He told reporters that merely as a result of one phase of reorganization—the work simplification program—nearly 1 million working hours were saved, and through efficiency improvements, more than a $1 billion annual collection increase was realized.
California, Nevada Area In the secretary’s speech, he charted the phenomenal growth and increase in economic importance of the California, Nevada area:
“Since 1940, income payments | to individuals in these two states have almost quadrupled and the percentage increase was 27 per cent higher than the national average. Income payments to individuals last year in the two

Rodee Lauds Dulles Choice As Ike's Secretary of State
by George Lasezkay
In discussing some of the newly appointed members of Presidentelect Dwight D. Eisenhower’s cabinet, Dr. Carlton C. Rodee called John Foster Dulles a “an abvious happy choice” for secretary of state.	,
In selecting Dulles to fill this post, Eisenhower made no sudden or unexpected move. Dulles has been “looming up” as the poten-
“Ciose to 7 million tax returns were filed this year in this area, compared to 1.5 million in 1940. Total federal tax collections from California, Nevada, and the Territory of Hawaii amounted to more than $4^. billion in the past fiscal year,” he said.
“The district commissioner is a new provision in the reorganization program.’’ Snyder stated. “His office in Los Angeles has full responsibility for all field activities of the bureau in California and Nevada and the Territory of Hawaii.”

Appointments
Robert A. Riddell, a 1927 SC graduate and collector of internal revenue in Los Angeles, was appointed director of internal revenue for the Los Angeles district.
Other major appointments involved in the revamped IR bureau are:
John W. Jamison, acting collector at San Francisco, to be director of the Bay City office; Roland V. Wise, former assistant internal revenue agent at Salt Lake City, to be acting director at Reno; and Stanley V. McKinney, former supervisor of accounts and collections, and now acting chief inspector at Los Angeles, to be director at Honolulu.
SC Alumnus Sworn in as Tax Director
SC alumnus Robert A. Riddell was sworn in Wednesday as director of the Southern California tax collection district. He was personally congratulated by Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder during installation ceremonies held in Hancock auditorium at 10 a.m.
Riddell graduated in 1927 and majored in what is now called business administration. For the past 18 months he served as collector of internal revenue for the Southern California area, and prior to this he served six years as assistant to that position.
With the Internal Revenue bureau for the past 19 years, the grey-haired tax official is about 6 feet tall and wears glasses.
“The recruiting of SC business administration majors info our work is quite active,” Riddell said. “A number of SC graduates are performing audit work in the local office.”
The newr acting director of the Southern California tax collection area is an ardent SC sports fan.
“Although I missed part of Saturday’s game preparing for this appointment,” he said, “I spent most of the afternoon cheering for SC’s really great football team.”
Riddell’s only daughter, Gerri, is now in graduate school at SC. After being graduated from Stanford as a political science major last spring. Miss Riddell enrolled in the. civil service on-the-job training program. She works days and attends SC evenings.
tial secretary of state for some years and would have been Tom Dewey’s appointment had Dewey succedded in getting the presidency, Dr. Rodee said. “He is an extremely capable man and the Democrats themselves found use for his diplomatic talents.
‘Smooth Transition’
“It is therefore very likely that there will be a smooth transition from Acheson to Dulles. They are both internationalists and a major change in foreign policy is not to be expected.
While there should be no trouble between Dulles and Eisenhower over foreign policy. Dr. Rodee does expect that trouble may develop between Dulles and the isolationist members of the United States Senate.
“Many of our senators from the Midwest are isolationist in viewpoint, which is typical of this section of the country,” Dr. Rodee said, “and to what extent trouble developes in that quarter depends on how strong a president Eisenhower will be.”
Off his record as a military man, it can be assumed that a man so accustomed to command will hardly be “pushed around”
by the isolationist fraction within his own party.
Capable Men
Turning to other appointments, Dr. Rodee said that not too much is known of them at this time but they all appear fairly capable men when measured against past accomplishments. “The one outstanding thing about these appointments,” Dr. Rodee said, “is that they show a strong regard toward representing in the cabinet all geographic sections of the country as near as possible.”
Harmony
Dr. Rodee sees in this also an attempt on Eisenhower’s part to bring into harmony the different sectional and ideological factions of his party. This same inclination is evident in his selection of Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby and Mrs Ivy Baker Priest to positions of a sub-cabinet nature, he said.
In these latter cases, Eisenhower not only strove for sectional balance but he also fulfilled a campaign promise to name women to high government posts.
Concluding, Dr. Rodee said, “The cabinet gives a better representation to western states than any cabinet in recent, years.”

Hutchins Gets Horse' Laugh From School Administrators
by Ed Neilan
SC administrators last week aimed a collective horse laugh at
the “horsey” suggestion made by Robert M. Hutchins, former pres-djent of the University of Chicago, concerning over-emphasis in college football.
Hutchins, now an associate director of the Ford foundation, came out in the public print last week and advised colleges to trade their high priced football teams for racing stables. , #
“The jockeys could wear their school’s colors,” he explained, “and the horse wouldn’t have to pass entrance examinations.” Abolished Game Hutchins believes so strongly in football de-emphasis that he abolished the game at Chicago. His pokes against college football came at an appearance before a
House investigating committee, which is investigating tax-exempt foundations. Hutchins said he could find no relationship between “higher priced players and higher education.”
A protagonist, Rep. Donald L. O’Toole, replied with “If I had a team like you had at Chicago, I’d have abolished it too.”
Hutchins’ statentent met with similar response at SC.
Not Worse Comment
Walt Hargesheimer, assistant football coach and a man who makes his living from the grid sport, scoffed at Hutchins’ suggestion about the “racing stable.” “Football definitely has great value to the individual boys and to the university,” Hargesheimer said. “It would be foolish to consider or even comment on some

Elmer Tells DT Reporter Of Award
by Dortha Fox
“Hev Boz, where can I find Elmer Willhoite?”
“Elmer?*What do you want him for?” asked George Bozanic.
“Gonna interview him for the DT.”
“Yeah? He’s not. out yet. Just look for the biggest and ugliest guy on the field, that’s Elmer. You better catch him right away, be hard to talk to him after practice starts.”
“I’ll tackle him when he comes out, ok?”
“Yeah, that I’d like to see,” Bozanic laughed.
Dandoy Helps On the field a few minutes later I found captain Bob Van Doren and Aramis Dandoy, wingback.
Dandoy, friendly and relaxed, pointed out the players as they came on the field.
“They don’t look nearly so big as they do when they’re playing,” I said.
“No?” Dandoy said. “That’s Tom Nickoloff coming out now, think he looks big? That's Elmer beside him.”
“Uh huh, he’s pretty big.” “Where’s Elmer going?” I asked as Elmer started toward the other end of .the field.
Takes Lap “Oh, he’s just taking a lap,” Dandoy answered, “when he comes back around this way, you go out and talk to him.”
‘Don’t you want to go with me?”
“Naw, you go by yourself, he won’t hurt you.”
“Is he afraid of girls?”
“Elmer? Afraid of girls? They’re afraid of him,” Dandoy said, grinning.
With this encouragement I started across the field to meet Elmer Willhoite, Collier’s All-American football player.
“Hi Elmer, I’m a reporter from the Daily Trojan, I’d like to interview you.”
7:30
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, when can I talk to you?” “Well, are you busy about 7:30 tonight?” Elmer asked.

ND Bursts Troy
Grid Title Bubble In Season Finale
by Fred Neil
NOTRE DAME STADIUM, Nov. 29—The Trojans’ house of cards came tumbling down about their ears today in the tight little ice box that is the Notre Dame stadium as the Irish of ND hung a 9-0 shutout on Jess Hill’s team before a partisan crowd of 58,394.
Among other things, today’s defeat ended the ’52 Trojan squad’s dream of being the first undefeated SC team in 20 years; it marked the first shutout handed Troy in Hill’s two years at the helm; and was the first defeat suffered on the road during the Hill regime.
It would be nice if we could say that the Trojans played a great game and were only beaten by the breaks, but such was not the case.
Actually they were outplayed, and outslickered by a team that to this observer, didn’t look to be as good as either UCLA or San Diego Navy.
As far as the breaks were concerned, SC probably got more than the Irish, but everyone was nullified by questionable signal calling, poor pass protection leading to inevitable interceptions, penalties (which the Trojans brought on themselves), and a stout Notre Dame defense.
Troy Defense Second Best
In fact the Trojan defense, which came Into today’s game hailed as the best in the land, gave up a total of 204 yards all but 10 of which was picked up on the ground by ND’s John Lattner, a real all-Americ>n, Joe Heap, Neil Worden, Francis* Paterra, and Tom Carey.
Meanwhile, the Irish defenders were holding Troy’s offense to 67 yards on the ground and 82 on eight completed passes.
Lattner played 59 of a possible 60 minutes and was, to this observer, the outstanding man on the field. He gained 66 yards rushing; recovered a Trojan fumble; intercepted a pass; and, except on one occasion, made it practically impossible for the SC safety men to field his high, lazy punts, with any degree of success.
His kicks seldom traveled more than 35 yards downfield, but they went almost that far straight up, and by the time they came down, the Irish “punt .patrol” was downfield daring the SC receiver to make a run for it.
The weather wasn’t exactly ideal for football, with the temperature a frigid 29 degrees at the opening kickoff, but, like the man said, it was just as cold on both sides of the line. The icy conditions could not, in all fairness, be considered favorable to Notre Dame because today’s game was the first this year that the Irish have played under such conditions.
Early Break For Troy
The Trojans gained the upper hand right from the start when Heap bobbled Des Koch’s opening kickoff and the ball went out of bounds on the Irish six. After one first down, Lattner kicked to Sears who returned 16 to the ND 44.
After a backfield in motion nullified an apparent first down, Sears punted into the end zone. Lattner’s return kick was good for only 13 yards and the Trojans had the ball on the Notre Dame 41. Three playsgained eight yards and then the Trojans committed their first tactical blunder.
With fourth and two on the Irish 33 and a chance to keep the enemy in the hole with a well-placed punt, the Trojans chose to go for the yardage. Sears was smothered one yard short and the Irish took over.
True, ND was forced to kick, but they had been able to get their backs from against the wall and for the balance of the first period they kept the pressure on SC rather than vice cersa.
Disaster Strikes Trojans
The first quarter was scoreless with Notre Dame making the deepest penetration into enemy territory. The Irish got to the SC 26 after Lattner recovered a Leon Sellers fumble on the 45, but were held on fourth down and SC took over.
In the second stanza, however, the South Benders got the break of the ball game, and they were quick to capitalize on it.	%
Shortly after the period opened. Lattner was forced to punt. Carmichael took the kick and returned it to the Trojan 45. SC was offside on the play, however, and Lattner kicked again. Then came disaster.
