NYU Drops Intercollegiate Football Fifty Years After Start
New York University, with a student body of 56,542 the nation’s largest, becomes the fiftieth college to abandon intercollegiate football in three years. Since 1951 many schools have dropped football as costs rise, two platoon play wanes, and television and pro football erode gate receipts. NYU lost 100000 dollars on football last year, signaling a long range decline for the sport nationwide.

Curran Attacks Taft Hartley Act in Congress
Joseph Curran, president of the CIO Maritime Union, warned that the Taft Hartley Act opens the door for subversives and criminals to man merchant ships. He criticized the law for hindering union hiring halls and urged continued reform to prevent favoritism, noting court rulings deem hiring hall practices illegal if they favor union members. The discussion occurred before the House Labor Committee, with Curran linking past conflicts with the waterfront and Longshoremen’s Union to current labor provisions.

Maryland License Plate Letters Significance Debated
Maryland moved to new orange on black license plates with letter codes indicating counties of sale. The system assigns DA through FJ to northern and central counties and AA through CJ to Baltimore city, with some counties selling plates directly via the state. Police warn the change may complicate quick plate checks and require following vehicles to read numbers.
