Coral Snake Fails
To Ruffle Editor
ORLANDO, Fla. (PA > —News
papermen are supposed to be a
nervous type but James Dye, pub
lisher of the Florida Labor News,
proved his nerves were of cold
steel the other evening when, sit
ting across the living room from
his wife, he saw her cover her
mouth and grimace, pointing wild
ly to the divan on which he was
reclining.
Dye looked casually at the floor
and saw a deadly 18-inch coral
snake, crawling out from under
the divan.
The publisher let the reptile
alone until it crawled out into the
kitchen. Then he walked into his
bedroom, got a shotgun and killed
the snake. It is believed that the
snake entered the house via the
Tireplace.

President And
Pope Pius
Exchange Letters
ROME, </P)—In an exchange
of letters made public today, Pres
ident Truman said the world’s
moral forces must unite against
those who “seek to destroy them.”
and Pope Pius XII replied that
peace was jeopardized by nations
which would reduce men to serf
dom.
The exchange was made public
by the Vatican and the office of
Myron Taylor. Presidential repre
sentative to the Pope. The Pontiff
received the President’s letter
from Taylor in an audience Tues
day and replied the same day.
“I seek to encourage renewed
faith in the dignity and worth of
the human person in all lands,”
President Truman wrote. “The
times demand faith that is strong
enough to struggle, if need be, for
the right.”
The Pontiff s reply said:
“Once the State, to the exclusion1
of God, makes itself the source of
the rights of the human person,
man is forthwith reduced to the
condition of slave; of a mere civic
commodity.”
The Pontiff pledged “whole
hearted co-operation from God’s
church” in championing “the in
dividual against the despotic rule;
the laboring man against oppres
sion: religion against persecution.”
“Unless the moral forces of the
world now join their strength, dis
courag ement must inevitably
deepen, and the strength and ef
fectiveness which thereby would
be lost by these moral forces would
be gained by those forces which
oppose and seek to destroy them.”

Bridges Does Not
Want Te Be
“Favorite Son”
CONCORD, N. H., (^P)—Senator
Styles Bridges (R.-N. H.) took him
self out of the “favorite son” clas
sification yesterday amid indica
tions that New Hampshire may be
come the nation’s first testing
ground for Republican Presidential
candidates.
Bridges, who carried New Eng
land’s banner in an unsuccessful
try for the 1940 GOP Presidential
nomination, told a reporter he has
asked Political associates not to
place him in the “favorite son”
role next year.
“I am interested in my work in
the Senate and I want to be re
elected.” the New Hampshire Sen
ator said. “I have no other politi
cal ambitions now.”
Bridges, who heads the Senate
appropriations committee, thus far
has drawn no Republican Senate
opposition in a campaign already
beginning to get under way in
preparation for the state nominat
ing primary Sept. 14, 1948.
The New Hampshire Senator s
action in eliminating himself as
a “favorite son” contender appar
ently leaves the field wide open
for other potential Presidential
candidates to battle for prestige—
even if for few convention votes
—in the nation’s first Presidential
i preferential primary next March
9.
This primary precedes that in
Wisconsin, which has proved a
testing ground for Republican
hopefuls in the past. While only
eight convention votes are involv
ed in New Hampshire's contest, a
political victory or defeat for a
candidate in this state’s first test
of popular sentiment might affect
his chances, elsewhere.

ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)
BEAR MOUNTAIN. N. Y. </P)—
For the benefit of football fans
who spent last season discussing
the greatness of the army football
team, here’s what’s likely to hap
pen when a good part of that
squad turns out for the eastern
All-Stars tussle with the New
York Giants next week. . . . Ar
nold Tucker, Glenn Davis and Doc
Blanchard likely will be in the
starting backfield but won’t play
more than half the game except
under extraordinary conditions.
. . . Bill West, Blanchard’s sub,
will be fullback in the alternate
backfield. . . . Center Jim Enos is
a 50-50 starting choice with Lou
Daukas of Cornell, Shelton Biles
is a possible starting tackle al
though Penn State’s Red Moore
seems likely to get the call while
Alf Tavzel is running behind
Yale’s Bill Shuler for the other
tackle position. End Tom Hayes
has a sprained ankle while Barney
Poole didn’t show up. ... He re
turned to Mississippi this fall. . . .
Off that lineup, as presented by
head coach Tuss McLaughry, they
don’t like a bunch of world beat
ers, but it must have been a right
good football team to produce so
many all-star candidates.
