Not Seeking y Old Cannon
Army Only Wants AH11- lery Pieces It Can Overhaul and Use.Washington, Nov. 16.—<;P)— The
Army shot to pieces today the rumor that the cannon on the country's court house lawns might be wrenched from their peaceful petunia beds and carted back to Washington for national defense.
Some field pieces, such as the one the government gave Colorado State College in 1919, are being asked for. But these gutvs are useable, most of them being^f the "French 76” ’design. *
As a part of the defense program, the Army plans-to overhaul gem.. They wlU have new car-

Ftreamlining la over, mechanics w ill go to work on the firing featured.
Experts say that wUh a little labor and material the range of many o f thSse guns can be stepped up and they can be made more maneuverable.
This type o f gun, the Army said. Is not now decorating civic plots, but la princlpqUy in use In srtiool R. O. T. C. units or National Guard outfits. '
The court house mipply Was exhausted years ago and the Ordnance Department ha# been making city, county and state executives unhappy ever since by turning down their requests for decorative artillery.
BeUca o f Paat WarsPract'cally all the cannon In the
court houae brigade are weapon# too old or too far gone for repair. Many of them are felic# of the Cl- yit war and Spanish American War.
Furnishing gun# for the main street front waa once on such a land office scale o f buainesa that regular forma of procedure w en eatabliahed.'

Also indicative of the government's interest waa assignment of the veteran Labor Department conciliation expert, Capt. Edward H. Fitzgerald, to the strike. Th# department sent Lyman H. Sisley here Wednesday, but his preliminary conferences failed to forestall the walkout.

The meeting that followed 4 boardwalk greeting was the first In many months and sent reports sp'reading through convention groups that the two leaders who took opposite'sides of the fence in the Roosevelt-WtUkie presidential contest had reached the point of burying the hatchet to head off a factional breach on the convention’ floor.

Btitution; Silo Hit.■ i.
Berlin, Npv. 16.— (JP)—Nazis threatened England today with another devastating air blow— similar to Thurg- day night’s vengeful raid on Coventry— in retaliation for a British night raid pn Hamburg. The high command said a shipyard \administration building and \a hospital in Hamburg were hit by British bombs last night, but declared damage in the great port “ in no proportion with the number of attacking p l a n e s.” (Authoritative sources in London said docks and oil plants were among the targets.)
A number of persons were reported killed in the bombed hospi- t( and the high command said in it# daily comniunique that "a grain silo waa fired, but immediately < quenched."
mthdrswing NatipnalsAuthorized sources, meanwhile,
disclosed that 'Ormany, seeking, to avoid possible complications, is gradually 'withdrawing her 8,000 nationals from . Italian-invaded Greece, but described the step as purely practical and not political. Other diplomatic activity centered 'aroxu)d Spain and Turkey.
The high command said “ retaliatory attacks" on London conUn- ued last night, and hits were scored on traffic points, the Victoria docks and other war essential objectives. A . 16.000-ton ' merchantman and one of 9,300 tons were reported hit and left "listing” in a bomber attack on a British convoy about 435 miles west of Ireland.
Informed German quarters declared today that the raid on Hambur- will be revenged just as "coventiy paid” for the Nov. 8 raid on Munich.
Attacked on Smaller ScaleThey said Coventry was attack
ed again last night, but on a smaller scale than Thursday night.

Spirit o f Peace and Love Per$i»t» Despite the Brutality o f Conflict
By Wimam E. OUi«y, D,D.Editor o f Advaaeo ,
This lesson Is baaed upon (wo Incidents— the healing of the servant o f a "certain Canturlon,” and the reatoration to life of the son of a widow in the city of Nain.
These Incidents are intended to be aymbolic of the w)u>le healing and life-giving mlsoton of Jesus, and it is profoundly necessary that w* should xrasp the full effect of Ihese Incidents and their symbolism In a day when the wbrld Is in a shocking condition with the disregard of human life and the dMtructlon of all that makes for health and human welfare.
Not even Imagination can conjure up the actudllty of horror of all that Is happening In Europe end China. It would seem a situation of utter hopelesneas and despair, did one not realize the 19 centuries of thp growth of Christianity and how the spirit of peace and love bee been persistent throughout all similar.bataatropes, and evil acts, and purposes of mla- guided men.
'The one thing that we must grasp very definitely Is that Christianity is wholly on the side of health and life. These are its great ends. " I am come," said Jesus,' “ to give life, and to give it more abundantly.”
Grasping, flrat of all, this supreme .fact, It is worthwhile to look a little Into the details of the lesson. Here Is a Centurion, a Roman soldier, a man, as he himself toys, In a position of authority, having soldiers under him and aci customed to command. It Is undoubtedly true that war is a terrible and brutallzlne business, and yet One of the things here ,em-
K'laslssd, which iteads out in hte- ry, is that soldiera have not all
been brutes, but on the contrary; that many of them have bad a fine sensa of ideals and o f duty.
On* may amphaslM this just now whan at least two dally newspapers, with a circulation running Into the millions, have suggested editorially., that our chief hukneaa today In American defense U "the rolaing of contingents of bom brutes and young brutes." "This, th* newspapers sald( "ought to be tht aim o f the draft." ‘n iat is a aad statement, and may it not be said tn contrast „ that the defeniw of this nation, and the service of democracy, alike, depend upon the measure of idealism and courage, the tender .regard for the homes and the country they defend, and the higher virtues, that we can in- otlll in our young men.
Here was this Roman Centurion, capable of tender solicitude for his servant, uaing his position as the representative of a conquering power to show a magnanimity and kindliness to the Jews under Roman domination, a man capable of faith and responsive to goodness, whose faith was commended by Jesus, and whose faith was instrumental In the healing o f his servant.
It la a picture worth bearing in mind qt a time when brutality is so rife In the world. War offers many problems and the Christian, as a man of peace, is faced with a Very real dilemma when he has to meet ruthless aggression. Nevertheless. it Is only as we live and strive for health and life, and flgh; if we must as men rather th brutes, that there can be any ^ p e serving or saving civilization

The Axis Creaks
X T T A C H E S L A F F M OLOTOFF V breezed i n t o Berlin in a dark business suit Tuesday. It was the first time he had ever been outside Russia.
He beam ed, talked animatedly in Russian, took off his hat every time he passed a German oflicer. and pointed approvingly toward the Red Russian and Swastika banners hanging side by side. The German crowd gave him a deadpan greeting. '
Promptly, the Russian premier got to his business of seeing Adolf Hitler. -Observers assumed that Molotoft wouldn't have come to Berlin at all if it hadn’t been
•^agreed beforehand that Germany and Russia would proclaim finally that they w'ere collaborating glose- ly. They did. '
Turks assumed the meeting had to do with getting Russia’s consent for a Nazi drive in the Balkans.
But as the conferences \pro- gressed the war wasn’ t going well for the Axis. (Perhaps Britain's Prime Minister Churchill planned
The W ORLD This WEEK
S' )lis; 1
Gen. Soddu: Given Rush Jobit that way.) Molotoff may have caused Hitler to squirm by asking about these developments:
T he Greek CampaignHitler's partner. II Duce. clearly
was muffing the Greeian> drive.The Greeks called it a rout. They were saying they had trapped and walloped a divi.sion of 1.1,000 A l- pini, soldiers who knew well the area they were attacking.
II Duce dispatched the 57-year- old veteran, Gen. Ubaldo Soddu, to reorganize the campaign.
It seemed probable that Herr Hitler would be-compelled to go to Italy’s aid soon. But if he sent help through Bulgaria it might complicate relations with Molo- toft’s Russia. And if he s.ent it through Italy to Aloania it would ha a black dav for Italians. Once G ^m an troops enter Italy they proM bly won't be leaving soon.
\ Naval Seufflea\ * If British' claim.s„of crippling
. irtually half of Italy's capital ship fleet are correct, it is a far graver matter for the Axis than the
-black-eye administered by the Greeks.'
Tho.se ships forced much of Britain's heavy fleet to remain in the Mediterranean. A smiling Churchill— addressing himself as much to Molotoff in Berlin as to the House of Commons— said "the action affects decisively the balance of power in the Mediterranean.”
The British admiralty said it had - photographic, evidence to prove that two battleships were, lying part way under water, one of them beached; that a third “ probably” was severely damaged; and that two crUiseirs were leaniqjg tipsily in the inner harbor of Taranto (in side Italy's heel).
Most of the havoc, apparently, was wrought • by planes that swooped close ' to the water and dropped torpedoes.• To add to this the British ,as-•erted that ..their warships had sunk one Italian supply ship en route to Albania and damaged three others. . ■• Further, the English tolcL their story of the mid-Atlantic encounter of a Nazi raider with a large British convoy. The earlier German version had been that the entire convoy of 15 or 20 ships was sunk.
The British, ip contrast, said there were 38 ships and: that 'at least three-quarters of them escaped, thanks to the lightly- armed merchant cruiser Jervis Bay, which enabled the convoy to scatter by plowing toward the raider — and destruction. But on Thursday Germans claimed the sinking of 10 new British merchantmen. “ -
Trouble With France• The Swiss were .Teportlng that Maxime Weygand, former Al lic.d geMralissimo and currently French commander in North Africa, had refused an official order to return to Vichy.

Suppose that an invading, sadistic army was bent on pulverizing Rumania. It would have to labor strenuously for several months to cause the havoc done in three quivering minutes by an earthquake Sunday morning. It was Rumania’s worst. ■ .
Much of beautiful B u c h a r e s t was in shambles. Whole villages were wiped out. More than -1,000 persons were crushed to death. "The worst-hit area was 100 miles northeast of Bucharest.
Hundreds of wooden oil derricks were in flames, casings o f wells were twisted out of line. Oil oozing through fissures in the ground indicated a widespread shifting of existing pools.
Experts were quick to point out, however, that, damage to oil fields wouldn’t affect shipments of much- needed oil to Germany. Even before the quake, transport lines to Germany could not handle all the petroleum Germany had bought.
But new difficulties for the Germans were seen in the twisted rail line.s and bridges that ( 1) will
\slow' up transport o f oil even furth er, and ( 2) make much m ore
difficult Germany’s transport of troops to Rumania for a possible diV«‘ to, the Near East.
Wirld Oyer TacomaTaSjma’s bridge was f a l l i n g
down last week, and this week the expert^were w’ondering why.
The mile-long suspension bridge was finished four months ago. Only New I 'o ix ’s George Washington and San Francisco’s Golden Gate bridge had mhger spans.
A Universuy of Washington engineer explained that the topography of the narrows of Puget Sound doubled the wind velocity which caused the b r id ^ to weave. Engi- neer^.had been wrorking frantically to correct the fauu.
Local engineer^ charged that Eastern engineers, .root by the federal agencies furnishing the money, liad insisted on usinV flat, eight- foot-wide girders which offered resistance to the wind. Original plans, they insisted, called for open tru.sses allowing the vCind to pass through. The Easterners said solid plate had been used in the interest of economy.
Rep. Coffee stated that there would be a federal probe, and grunted: “There’ s been a lot of buck passing. The state didn’t have to accept the bridge design if they thought it unsafe.” The bridge will be rebuilt by next July at perhaps half the original cost of $6,400,000.

Fifty MinutesThe time is Tuesday morning.8:10 A.M.— 1.000 pounds of dy
namite exploded at the Burton powder works of the American Cyanamid Corp. near Newcastle, Pa. Three men were killed.
8:32 A.M.— A terrific blast at the plant of the United Railway and Signal Company (maker of railway torpedo signals) killed eight persons and injured many women employes. The plant is located at Woodbridge. N. J.. near Manhattan. Thirteen buildings were destroyed.

WashingtonWithin a week after Franklin D.
Roosevelt was reelected President, his administration gave Alnericans peeks at two policies they can count on for the immediate future.
He revealed that all armaments coming off U. S. factory
lines will be divided fifty-fifty between the U. S. and the British Empire. This will apply even to the mighty flying, fortresses. Heretofore Britain -hks gotten about 45% of our productfo.n.
In saying “ we've just begun to rearm" Secretary Morgen-
thau reminded Americans of the corollary that we've just begun to spend. Only this year Congress raised the national debt limit from $45,000,000,000 to $49,000,000,000. Morgenthau indicated he would •ask that it be raised on up to perhaps $65,000,000,000. to cover the next two years’ spending.
Economy - m i n d e d lawmakers thought the limit should be raised no more than $5,000,000,000 at a time. Wendell Willkic said all government spending except for defense and necc5.sary relief should be cut; and the gbvernment should try to approach a “ pay-as-you-go” basis. The treasury may ask for a billion dollars in new taxes.

Sleuthing For AlcoholIn occasional casei,X°t:tors have

AppeaserA bewildered, aging man stood'
before Britain’s . tense House of Commons on Sept. 3, 1939, and said sadly: “Everything I have worked for . . . has crashed in ruins.” Neville Chamberlain, 70, had just declared war. for Britain, on AdoU Hitler’s Germany,
s Just a few weeks ago the ailifig ex-prime minister, who added the word appeasefnent to the world’s vocabulary, confided to U. S. Ambassador Kennedy: "Since my il l- , ness makes it impossible for me to b,e of further service to my country . . . p e r h a p s God and His mercy will take me away soon.” This week he died, not so much of illness as of a broken heart. His death came precisely a half-year after turning over his burden to Winston Churchill.■ With his death. London newspapers suggested that his long-time as.sociatc. Lord Halifax, bo shifted from the foreign office to the India office. Manv 'have believed that Halifax’s dislike of Soviet Russians has been a bar to friendlier .^nglo- Russian relations and ha.s driven the Soviet closbr to the Axis.
Non-AppeaserSeven hours after Chamberlain’s
death, one of America’s sharpest critics of appeasement. Senator Key Pittman. 68, of Nevada, was fatally stricken. As chairman'-6f the Senate foreign relations committee, the one-time K l o n d i k e sourdough was renowned for his advocacy o f a vigorous U. S, stand in w'orld affairs.
Free China and Mexico mourned his death, and President Quezon lamented that the Philippines had “ lost the most powerful friend they have in Congress,”
Fittman’s successor in the crucial foreign relations post is likely to bo the unpurged Senator George of Georgia, a political opponent of FDR but a supporter of most of his foreign policies. George is a confidant of Secretary Hull.
He is outranked on the committee only by Senator Pat Harrison. Harrison is head of the finance committee and has indicated he prefers that to the foreign post. No Senator can head two copimittecs

•^P* rade Baker but involved a lot of hard work. We say he did a good Job.
Armiatice Day is a day in which we meet to honor our beloved dead and to give.thanks and celebrate the ending of the W’orld war. But this year many of our hearta-were saddened with the thoughts of what our mother country la enduring during these war days and it ia our prayer that before another Armistice Day comes arouno that this war will have ended.
I was very happy to meet my old pal Be-eel last Sunday morning and was glad to see him looking so well after his recent illness. Now I would like to see him back In the column.
Our Weekly Bingo games will continue as usual Monday evening In the Orange, Hall and by the way buyr what about a little tqore help. We could use about four more men.

Producers Experimenting with Kitchen Stove Stages for New Plays.New York. Nov. 16 — (45 —
Broadway theatrical producers, happy over their benefits from the straw hat theaters of the past several summers,.are now experimenting with kitchen stove stages to carry on almllar tryouts of new plays during the winter nights.
The summer theaters have saved the dramatic managers much money in that they can try out in their economical atmosphere new dramas which heed work before a premier ia a big city, but which need a trial in front of an audience so that flaws can be detected.
The first experiment with these winter stock theaters was staged this week at the Paper Mill Play- houM, which.is alao a.prime summer theater,'in Millburn, N. J. It is within commuting distance of Broadway, so the producers. Frank Carrington and Agnes Morgan, find their rural first nights peopled with Impresarias. stars, playwrights and directors despite the fact that newspapers arc now hearalding the first snowfalls.
* Opening PUy New Comedy The opening play U "Jeannle."
a new comedy by Aimee Stuart which received much more con- atrucUve and gentle criticism from the first string reviewers than it perhaps would have If it had opened cold on Broadway. Now it wUl have a chance, just as so many new plays had that were tried out in summer stock, to mend its flaws before being brought in to face tha Broadway audiences bn the frigid first nights.,,
'•Jeannle” is one of those Polly- comedies of sweetness and
charm that depends t<M much upon those two quiUtiea f. Jeannihsjs a Scottish laM who is brought upHn strict discipline and almost,, as # tofvant by a harsh father in a rurkLtown. When he dies she inherits a iqeager sum of money, about ll.lWOTNand she also inherits her freedomxfrom all restraint by elders.
Also SeekiBg Romaare She, who haa had neither riK'
mane* nor glamor in her life, decides that Vienna is the place because the moet thrilling moment she can remember is hearing “The Beautiful Blue Danube.” She is,, in her naive way, also seeking romance.
She warms to s middle-aged Fnglishman who flees with an Auatrian blonde when he sees her lack of sophistication. She is almost won by a pennlleM count who thinks she Is.sn heiress.
But the experience is good for her and shs bloMomc into.^ lovely and artful MIm Ready, apparently, to face Ufe with vastly more education than she had when rt- lesaed from strict supervisions of her father. ,
Some Pleasaat Moments It ia s play with some pleasant
momsnts. pr^uced in such an ex- colleht tone that' many of the author’s lapses are given ritality, but it still needs work to survive amid Broadway’s current supply of hits. Which indicates that the newly arrived winter stock thea- tore will be as helpful to better drams' ms the summer stock laboratories have been in the past.
“Jeannle” has a cast df first- rate Broadway players, and in the title role is a young setreH whose American lebut is an event of importance. She is Ronds Keane, who showra fuch talent that she may grow up to be aa noted aa her cslehratod mother. Ronda had played previously in EngUsh stock compenles.

No Proposals on French.'He made no proposals regarding
the French, because of the present obscurity of their food snd political situation.”
Hoover ' summarized again the plan he advanced last Augnst:
. "That the Germans on one hand, agree (A) not to take any of the domestic products of these people and to furnish the eq'uivs- lent of any food that already may have been taken; (Bi to permit such'imports as caj^Nbe had from other parts of Euro^; (C) to allow free passage of food ships without attack.
"On the other hand, the British to raise the blockade so as to allow one fo->d ship at a time to pas.s so long as the guarantee* are fulfilled.
“ And finally, both sides to agree to adequate control of distribution by a neutral organization to assure that these agreements are carried out.”Agreements Followed Faithfully

Thomas was the twenty-eighth volunteer enlist from Morley;Now recrultihg officers will have to wait until tl\e other lads grow up before Morley can send another.
New York, Nov. 16—(45—O l. William H. Draper, Jr., of the Army general s t^ f said today that although the Army would
i make every effort to develop skills among Selective Service soldiers
I their training would be planned I fundamentally to serve military i rather than civilian purposes.I “The airplane mechanic will be i taught ail that time permits about
arguments I airplane engines and' their care,”that the Germans “would get the food” by saying that during, the World war the protective agreements obtained by hl.s comml.sslon were followed faithfully for four years.
“ It is to the Interest of the German Army that ceaspoola of | anti-aircraft artillery and disease Md contagion are not created,” he continued. "And it is to the interest of the whole world that they are not created.”
The proposed plan would be "justifiably ended,” he add^, if the supplies could not be pTOtect- ed from the German Army.
Concerning payment for food supplies. Hoover said ail the nations have liquid resources “safely outside of their owm borders.” adding that they also'chn provide their own ships.
“The Greatest Teacher of mankind did not argue and debate over the ideology and the sins of the two thieves,"'.. Hoover said, "and He thundered scorn at the priej and the Levite who passed by.”
Draper said in an address prepared for the eighth metropolitan Conference on Employment and Guidance. "Incidentally such man may get a much better when he goes back home. The aaroe may be true of those m^n in
theinfantry as well, but act^ lly the specialty a man learns in. moat cases wlir be a miUtapy specialty, not a civilian speciiU
Training B a ^ PurposeDraper said tbht educators had
raised the quemon of Instituting vocational training for drafted men. but the “basde purpose” of the draft, be declared, is "to train an A m eren Army capable of coping wUb the best treraps of sny other nation.”
"Fyr that reason.” he said, “any fornlalized educational program for selective service trainees would be a mistake.”

"No gain,” BUI groaned. "Buck, .hey’ll never crack through the East rine the way they^re going, rhoae guya are sm art and tough, ft'll take plenty to score against ;h*m.”
"It'll take something there're lot expecting,” Buck admitted. 'They've felt ua out now and they know what we've got. If I could inly give them a aurpriset”
Eiut took the ball, failed to tain; but in the exchange of punts : (Vest lost five yards. I
Suddenly Billy snapped erect on ' the bench, glints of excitement In his eyes. “Buck, you can give them a surprise—more than one."
A time-out for Eaat gave Buck a chance to talk. "What do you mean, Bill?”
‘Those plays we taught the icrubs. Buck I Remember how I ran one of them through the var- ilty?”
Buck was puzzled. "I still don't get you, Bill. The linemen have to be familiar with the plays too.I can’t just aend in a new back- 5eld." I
"That's |What I mean, Buck. Take out the whole varsity! Ljet me go In with the scrubs and rup those plays."
Hope kindled in
realized that the noise wasn’t In his head; It was the crowd yelUng. They had gone over!
The scrubs were putting on a wild war dance, but for BUI there waa no time to feel triumph. He felt suddenly alone In the midst of bedlam, facing the big-’ gest problem of his whole life. Who should try tor the all impor-
, tant polht after touchdown? Not one of the scrubs was a dependable kicked. . . .
Bili’a mind .snapped to a .de- ( clalon. He m ust,risk a pass, and
he must do the job himself. He lined his team up, barked signals. The ball came back. Players charged him from every angle. He retreated, side-stepped until hazily he saw hia target In the end zone. Bill heaved the ball. A dozen hands seemed to reach up to bat It down. Then the end leaped high and clutchiid It.
West, 7; Eaat, 6.West's section was a crimson
boil of madness. >.But now, BUI knew,' the lead
must be defended. East received and began to roll. Time after time Laurie cut through the scrubs’ ragged defense. Desperately BIU tried to rally „.them, but they lacked the experience to cope with such an attack.
Clear to West's 20-yard tine the East boys drove, and only the end of the third quarter held up their march. Buck Mentor acted promptly. Trotting across the field came the varsity of West—11 stalwart warriors, rested and eager to fight back the Invaders.,
BUI sank down on the bench, almost sobbing. Buck threw bis
! arms around the boy and hugged him. “Fellow, you were wonderr
_ . . , . ! ful." He hobbled along the benchI'Poundlng hia weary scrubs on thethen died. "Too risky, fellow. If ,
I remove my varsity iiow I can t | couldn’t hold 'em," BUIsend them In again until the nextquarter. And if your plays fall, those East boys are liable to rip the scrubs to pieces"
"But the quarter la nearly half over." BUI argued, "I know we ran hold that long. It's our only chance. Buck."
In silence Buck Mentor watched the rapidly shifting pattern of play. East wait playing the game aafe, clinging to ita slender lead, giving West no opportunity to gain.
He said finally, "G<i ask the scrubs. Bill. Maybe they don't even remember those plays."
Bill leaped from the bench with a shout. The scrubs, huddled like Indian braves in their blankets, stared at him curiously.
"What gives. Bill?” one of them asked.
■^Plenty." BUI said tightly. "How many of you fellows remember thone plays we learned from Buck?”
Bill’s excitement was contagious. They swarmed about him, wild-eyed. "We haven't forgotten one of them. Bill. Honest! Two of them start exactly alike, except that the off-tackle—"
"Right!” BUI grinned, and turned back to Buck. "We can roll ’em for you. Buck."
Buck Mentor hesitated a moment; then his jaw set. "Okay,BUI, get ready. I'm going to gamble a lot on you fellows!"
Eleverf eager sorubs high- stepped along, the sidelines, warming up. Buck called time. An eti- tire new team trotted across the field to report to the referee. A hush of astonishment gripped the stands as, one by one, the varsity returned to the bench.
And then, as the situation became clear, a roar burst the silence. BiU, however, was deaf to it, dumb to everything but the' hard turf under his feet—striped with white lines which he must
.somehow cross.\ He checked the downs and yard
age; It waa second with flVc to go. BUI gathered his team in a huddle.
"Look, fellows, we've got to jolt'’em fast. They’ve been playing U ral grand ju ry ' last, night andtheir secondary In close to stop a/ running attack. Now we’ll g i^ ’em that passing play we learned.”
BUI took the pass from center, started to slice qff-tackle. Expecting a running, play,, the East de(fe'n8e was sucked to the right. West’s left end cut far over; the right end blocked out the defen- aive halfbaek.
BUI was almost to the line of acrimmaKe' when he veered off and heaved the pans. Running diagonally, tb.e end gathered'It in and scooted along the .aidellnea. He was thrown out.of bounds on East's 40-yard line.
A 30-yard gain! The West stands roared Into life. The cheerleaders hurled their megaphones heavenward and attempted to fly after them.
BUI called the off-tackle play, and the ball went to the tailback. The end darted out aa If for another pass. BUI running ahead of the ball carried, cut down the defenaive left half back and the play rolled for 10.
First down on East's 30-yard line. The third play began exactly the same as the previous one. This time, however, the tailback slipped the ball to Bill; The wing-, back and the end blocked out the defenaive tackle. The Ektst end broke in'on him, but BUI swiveled away. He got up to the IS-yard stripe and was brought down.
Now BUI saw his advantage. The East boys were temporarily demoralized by the abrupt,pwitcb in .strategy. He sliced* the wing- back off-tackle-and picked up five more. Speed, counted now. Give ’em no chance to get organized.
West snapped from the huddle Into formation, and a sweep around end carried to the five.
"Once mot«!” BUI gritted, wiping sweat from his face. "Push ’em back Into the goalposts!"
They rammed Into the center of the line. BUI was burled. He got to his feet deafened by the roar of blood in bis head. . Then be) ■ ...... ./s. • * ;
mumbled. "I'm sorry. Buck."Buck Mentor snorted. "Look at
those wildcats out there, BUI! They’re taking care of your lead."
His words were true. East had been stopped cold. West took the ball on'downs and punted out of danger. TTie , East boys were i whipped. They tried desperately 1 to rally, but when the timekeep- * er's pistol exploded the score waa still West, 7; East, 6. . . .
"Fhe entire West-side poured down to congratulate Buck Mentor.
Dust was settling over the empty shell of concrete when Buck and Bill were finally alone. F'or the past two hours Buck had been shaking hands and receiving praise. But now a wild horde of rootcra had gone home to replay the game over cold suppers. The streets,were deserted and still as Btll walked^ beside Buck's invalid chair.
Buck Mentor Sf^ke quietly: "This ia aur victory, BUI. To- ifiorrow may bring Us a defeaL But if we bang on and keep fighting we'll witi another victory.'’
Bill nodded solemnly. "1 guess that's right. Buck. You'll have a tough fight in the East. But I’m betting the two of-us can lick almost anything. . . .”
Buck stared into the am ok/ dusk. A slim figure waited tor them at the comer. WUliout speaking, Helen Welch cajile and walked on the other sidedf Buck's chair.
The big man amiled- gently. ‘‘5’ou mean, BiU, the three of us can lick,almo.st anything. . . ."

President Roosevelt applied the neutrality act to Greece last night, thereby otrtclaUy recognizing that Greece and Italy are at war.
The effect of the action waa to subject auppliea destined for Greece to the law's "caah and carry” policy and to prohibit American travel on Greek ahipa.

despite the f i t, that Vultee offered to increase wages mofe than 51,000,000 a year, based on present emplovmriit," said President Richard MUlar. “Within the negt few montha. expansion made neceasary by the national defense program would double personnel. In other words, the offered pay Increases, refused by the union, would amount to more than 52,000,000 a year when the expansion Is completed." -
L. H. Michener. International representative of the Union, thus stated the CIO case;
“Whde profits in the aircraft In, dustpy are zooming sky high, the wage level is grounded far below standards in the autompblle Industry for work which Is most comparable. This is a fact borne out by Fcdera'l Trade Commls.sion statistics released last month.
"Workers in the automobile Industry receive a minimum wage of 75 cents an hour. At Vultee the minimum is 50 cents. The average automobile rate is 98 cents, the aircraft average 62 cents. These discrepancies should not exist In two such comparable industries. Therefore we feel Olir demands arc just.”
Rev. James Stuart Neill, rector of S t Mary’s Episcopal church, lectured on old London laat night to an audience that filled to over- fiowing the parish hall of the church. The entertainment was for the benefit of British War Relief, the rector explaining that he had promised to do something for the local branch, and the Daughters of St. George reminded him of that promise. The . church, having so many people of British descent among its constituents, was only too glad to do Ita bit, and the rector gave credit to the different men and women who were assisting in the program, among them Thomas, Maxwril, James B. Hutchinson and Russell Rotterton. The latter Installed for the occasion a fine comblnatlorf radio and vlctrola.
The program opened with the chorus singing of one verse of "America”, ■ “God Save the King" and “Rule Britannia". Colored pictures of King George the VI and Queen EHlzabeth were thrown

an batUe is to* only dish on Coa- aecUcut's gridiron table today aa Yale opens toe big three series In Princeton. N. J., the University of- Connecticut meets the Univereity, of New Hampshire on the latter's .campus, and Arnold ,plays Bergen at Teaneck, N. J.
For all but Yale, today marks the end of the 1940 gridiron trail and toe B3is will call it a season a )vcek from today after meeting Harvard. > '
Trinity and Wesleyan have met 42 times on the gridiron since 1685 with Wesleyan winning 28 and Trinity 14 in a series unmarked by any ties. The 43rd encounter today shapes up as an even contest. Trinity looks better bn paper, but all are agreed that Wesleyan poaoeoaes more and Stronger materiarwhich,, inexplicably, has been unable to get going except in a couple rit games this year.
The Cardinals were expected to be at their peak today, seeking to aahiage oometoing from an uh- aucceasful season and to give a- pleasant aend-off to Jack. Blott. toe Wesleyan coach who an-, nounced hla resignation before the start of the campaign.
Yale, too, is seeking to salvage something from an unsuccessful season and, though Princeton waa toe favorite, many thought that the Bulldogs who worried Cornell more than a little last- week had a chance to spring a surprise.
The University t jf Connecticut miut win t(xlay to finish with an average of better than .500. The Huskies won their first four games handily, but have dropped tbe last three. Arnold was scheduled to play last night, but toe weather forced a postponement.
The schedule: Trinity va.'W esleyan a t Middletown. Tala va. Princeton at Princaton, N, J„ University of 0>nnecticut va. University of New Hampshire a t Durham, N. H., Arnold ys. Bergen a t Teaneck, N. J.
Or perhaps It.l* true that Bradley ran out of managers, and is starting all over again.
Bradley last season made it possible for the players to fire the manager. It was toe rebellion of his atblctes that put an end to the three-year reign-of Oscar 'Vltt.
Bradley might have pleased the patrons to a greater extent by engaging a pilot more recently in ;he headlines—major or minor, but from the standpoint of operating a ball club, the selection of Roger Peckinpaugh was a sensible one.
His reappointment again makes the Imlions to* only locally owned, administered and managed team in the big show.
Tho'ugh he joined the ranks of great shortstops in New York and continued his playing success in Washington,' Rog Peckinpaugh was .bon) in Cleveland, attended high school there, and first cracked an Americaf) League lineup in a hob)* town ))atform . . . along-
waa let go aa general manager.The excitable Vitt popped
. . . . talked out of turn.
. The biggest complaint against Peckinpaugh during hls previe and five-year regime waa that he was. too easy going with hi* athletes. He had a tough bunch to handle, including We* Ferrell and Eddie Morgan.
But when the showdown came, he suspended Ferrell, and fined the then outsanding pitcher 51.000.
And. respected, he howto s(x>tbe the ruffled feelings of the temperamcnlnl Redskins whom Vltt rubbed the wrqtig way.
Peckinpaugh is a grand fellow, and anybody wh^has been in contact with the. Cleveland club since Cyril C. Slaprncka was placed in charge of the front office, knows the Indiang can use one.
It's go«d to see Roger Peckinpaugh back . . . . to have someone in thc/(^leveland organization with wboih }^u can talk baseball.

.Mlae Heon By Ford For a time, as toe fading mo-'
menu of the game were played In ' semi-darkness. It looked as Unugli ;:| Manchester would gain a t least a tie and possibly victory over the favored invadere. Soon after Bulke. ley's tally. Joe Beilis recovered tha pigskin- on Bulkeley’s 38-ymr<ler, ^ te r Allen fumbled a lo<ml pqnt. ,;,i Fired Mohr ripped off five yards and Roger Thomas shot a pass t h a t : Carlton Curtla gathered In miraculously with one hand for a first ' down on the 20. Another Thomas - pass waa taken by Mike Genrai for ' another flrst on the 10 and Vincek ' slammed into center for Uirea yards more.
Then Manchester'was penaliasd five yards for taking an extra tima out but Genofli rifled a forward to Mohr and the latter whipped a lat- eral to Thomas wjio got to the one-, yard stripe but' another time-ouk for a subetitutlon cost Manchester five more yards and made it necas-
}sary to piuu again. This tima , Thomaa’a toss waa inte'rcepted by I Kask of Bulkeley and he s p ^ down
’ the sideline for 50 yards before he was stopped. The game ended n / i l few plays later. . If
Coach Babe Allen's mafden-elafi'^l griddera, with a fait charging lias.,' and a hard running teckfi4U|^* staged two serious offensiv^ thresU before they scored on th e ir ' third assault. The first bid begaff’ ' late in the opening period and ak;’’ tended into the second quarter Bulkeley drove 54 yards on fo ” " successive flrst downa and raach._ the local three-yard marker only * ’ have a fumble and an incomtfietir'f pass end the threat. « ,
Bulkeley opkned the second half* with a furfoua running and railf’'" ing attack that recM off five straight first downs for 68 yardiff?" in all and scored on a quarterbadc aneak by Fran Kelly but the plajrf #aa nullified by a 15-yard holdiiqp'* penalty and a little later RaggMS Curtla Intercepted a pass to maki^f it posalble for Manchester to kieMT' out of danger. *
Fumble Brings Tally Mohr fumbled on the first play e f* ; |
the final quarter and Dick P ortogat, recovered on the locid/30 fasit j Bulkeley. Then Captain Jaiik / Watts, Bob Allen and Porteus alternated In lugging the leather fa r a first to th e '17 and another flrakf,}' to- toe six-yarder. Four p layM ; Were needed before Porteous creek-*:-! ed the Manchester forward w ^a>^ and reached paydirt on a two-ysM center smash. Allen's place kiriV^ for the extra point was blocked.
Manchester had three offensiv*' chances in the first period but g o t ' nowhere and had to punt awayi In each Instance. The seoontf 1 ’ quarter saw Mohr and Vincek'' chalk up two first downs but boHl - came with Manchester on its «wa-<. 20.

Vincek flights Top Scorer In a Low-Scoring Season
Manchester High's 1940 football campaign wasn’t marked by much : scoring but what little there was ’ os the Red and White absorbed | six l(xues in seven starts was dom- ; inated by Captain Albert Vincek. ! stellar fullback - and line backer- | upper, who earned tjiree touch- 1 downs in all. Second place w ent to ' Mike Genofli, quarterback, with a pair of 'tallies while Randy Brown, nn end. and Fred Mohr, hard-running halfback, got one apiece. Three points after.touchdown W'ere ' registered by Roger Thomas on placements.
That accounts for 45 of Man* Chester's 46 points and the other point is the result of Meriden's forfeit of its CCIL encounter. (k>unt- ing that victory, Manchester's record for this sesaon is no poorer than it has been on four occasions in the past as 1930, 1935, 1936 and 1939 produced only two Wins eadi. If the Meriden game isn’t' counted, this year marks the second poorest season in the 1.3-year regrnie of Coach Thomas F. Kelley, the worst being 1934 when the Red and White suffered eight consecutive losses.
Manchreter finished fourth in the Cratral ' Connecticut Inter- scbolaatic League by rtrtue of Meriden's forfeit, the third lowest ranking fo r 'toe Kelleyites in toe 15 yoare of the League’s axiotene*. They )irere sixth in P34 and fourth

tee that by falling to vote qn House-approved amendments they were creating the impreaslon of ‘.‘deliberately attempting” to keep the legislation from the Senate.
Succeaa pf efforts to bring up either of these bills undoubtedly would prolong the'session into December. There appeared to be but slender prospects of this, however, at least for the labor tsgislation, more . especially since President Roosevelt's nomination of Dr.,Harry A. MilIU to a vacancy on the Labor Etoard yesterday was expected to result in a shakeup of that agency without Congressional action.
Burke, King For Mhowdown Senator Holt (D-W. 'Va.). an ad
vocate of labor act changes, expressed the opinion that despite Green's move the amendments were "dead for this session.” He wrote the AFL chief, however, that as the first practical step toward getting action Green should demand that Congress remain In session. .
Senators Burke (D., Neb.l. and King (D„ Utah), planned to seek the showdown of the Logan-Wal-
\ter Issue. They claimed support of Various other Dcm->cratlc mem- Iwrs. Their insistence on action promised to add some Democratic bac!klng to Republican opposition to adjournment.
Thq Republican position, as sumniarlzed by Senator 'Vanden- berg of Michigan, was that "If we're in an emergency that won’t allo,\s' the President to go more than 12 liours away, frotn Washington, I’d, say we’re In an emergency th a / would not allow Con ^ .s s to ’be 60 days from Washington or beyond its own recall.”
Monday’s sessions will be the first ftill-dresA meetings of cither House or .Seimte since several weeks before tnp Nov. 5 elections. Failing at that tirpe to put through an adjo\irnment resolution, Democratic leaders agreed on holding nominal .sc-ssjons every three days until Nov, 18.
Now they are reiiorted to be drumming up adjournment votes with the argument that President Roosevelt's re-electiim showed there was no. need for Congress to remain In sepsion as a Vbeck on White House actions.
The renewed drive for\ jta.ssage of Wagner Act amendmems was disclosed shortly after the\ presl dent sent to the Senate the\ nomination of Dr. Minis to a five-year term on the Labor Board, replacing Chairman J. Warren Maqd.en, whose term expired.
Labor sources predicted a shake up pf the board would resplt, aijd
msnded months Ago by Board Member WlHlAm M. LelseiBon. who WSJ overruled by Madden and gklwln 8. Smith, the other member of the three-man agency. When Mlllla movea In, howeimp, Lelaeraon la expected to be on the majority tilde,, alnce the propoeed new member and he are regaraea aa holding generally similar vlewt on labor matters.
Along with the Mlllla nomlnsr tlon. President Roosevelt slro sent up the nomlnstlon of Madden to be a judge of the United States Court of Claims. Whsther that .would receive quick conalderatlort waa uncertain, as senators •’gener- slly rgfralned from dlscloalng theirV'::WB.
Therq are too many people who do not believe In aigna, but thoae we deteat most are those dangerous Individuals who refuse to obey the "Do Not Pass On the Hill” sign.

Congressional quarters lis’ appointment aroused an en-. thusiasm Indicating hia prompt confirmation by the Senate.

Indicative of the possible scope of these changes was the fact that when Minis’ appointment became known Nathan Witt, secretary of the board; Thomas I. Emerson, associate general counsel, arid Alexander B. Hawes, chief adminlstra live examiner, promptly resigned.

Atlantic City, N/ J., Nov, ‘ 18.^/P)—Taking up the gav-j H for the last tmie as CIO jtrpsident, John \I., I.«wis,' with tears in his eyes, totd CIO’s convention delegates t«klay that he was .stepping down as their leader, ami urged them to unite theil* ranks and support whoever tliey name as his successor,
To a hushed throng which a,few' niimites earlier had given him a thunderous'ovation, Lewis said:
"[ won't be with you long. I have done my W'ork and in a few days I'll be out of thla office.”
Urges CIO to Remain ITnIled It W'as hia keynote speech, seri
ous and emotional in tempo and l urrying in it an urgent plea to the n o to remain united or it Would "hot long endure.’;
I-ewis’ term aa president expires at the close of the convention. It hi expected that Philip Murray will be\named as his sUyeessor. In giv- ing\notice that he was about to get out of the CIO leadership, Lewis fulfilled the promise he made to retire If President Roosevelt was re-elected for a third term.
Lewis called on CIO'unions for unity among 'theriiaeives and confidence in theirMcadershi|).
On Uio labor he aaid, CIOhad detnonstrateii Its strength and pileoMip a record of accom pliahments.
■’It can ^ forward," he said. "But if you c^sum e your time in rritlcism' iJid yituperation, you won’t have ah organization long."
Needs 8trength\of Following The big, broad-shouldered Lewis
who has declared he W( ill retire as CIO president, told tms delegates that CIO leaders nchded the strength of a confident fh|lowing.
,"A leader no matter henv well qualified for the job. is only an in- ! di dual because if you don’t give him strength, he is nothing.
"These are the-things CIO mi: take into consideration, if it is to endui-e. ”

He made this declaration at a press conference shortly before the Hous< reconvened for Its first, business session since the Nov. 6 ’elec- tibn.
Ths first business transacted by the House was to approve a 83,000 additional ’’ appropriation for its special committee investigating iq- terst^e migration. The committee already has received 820,000. The House then took up a“ number of minor bills.
The Senate met only„briefly.Urges Return for Vote
The Democratic leadership of the House sent telegrams,to all House party members urging them to return to vote for sine' die adjournment tomorrow. Republicans generally are expected to oppose adjour.ment.
Rayburn said that Representative McCormack of Massachusetts, House Democratic leader, would offer the adjournment resolution.
Rayburn,and the Democratic leadership of the Senate talked with President Roosevelt for an hour earlier In the day. The speaker would say only that they discussed “ very general propositions."
Thf condition Of the capitol roof was cited by McCormack today as one more reason . for speedy adjournment.
