...concurred in denouncing Tito, all except Gomulka, who said: "I don't know who is right or who is wrong, but we must end it all without publicity. We must find a compromise." He refused to attend a Cominform conference in Rumania where the satellite leaders were to gang up on Tito. That was enough for Stalin. At a signal Gomulka's comrades turned on him. General Marian Spychalski was Gomulka's chief denouncer. Gomulka was accused of being "permeated with the Pilsudski spirit." Economic Minister Mine accused him of betraying his underground comrades to the Gestapo...

Agreement had already been reached on some sticking points (welfare benefits, dues checkoff), and others seemed negotiable (wages, work-gang size).

...There's been no Rose Bowl talk at Iowa," said the Hawkeyes' Coach Forest Evashevski. The "One Man Gang" who led Michigan's bruising prewar powerhouses in 1939-40 had yet to win a football game in Minneapolis-either as Michigan player or Iowa coach. So he forgot about New Year's Day and concentrated on the task at hand. "I'll be taping my players all night," he added as he brooded over the long roster of Iowa casualties...
