...Mike Di Salle seems simply too happy, too exuberant, too relaxed and too candid to be a front-line general in the nation's fight against inflation. On top of that, he is not an economist and not a prominent businessman; he is not even listed in Who's Who. When President Truman asked him last fall to head the Office of Price Stabilization, he was just the mayor of Toledo, an unpretentious lawyer and oft-defeated Democratic politician. But there he was last week, perched precariously on one of the hottest seats in town, like a beach...

Said Di Salle: "Most people will agree that this is a perfectly fair figure...
Johnny Lee, the Crimson's sophomore lightweight, was eliminated in the semi-final round of the 47th annual eastern intercollegiate wrestling championships at Penn State Saturday afternoon. Lee dropped a 6 to 4 decision to Mike Filipos, Lehigh's 1947 titlist, in the 123-pound class...
