quarters, Philippines, Nov. 16.— (/P)— An American vise closed tighter on General Yamashita’s encircled Japanese on Leyte today, pressing to within 10 miles of Ormoc on the south, 14 on the east and about the same distance on the north. Advances oy four American divisions were small, but they came all around the Japanese perimeter defending Ormoc, their last base on the island.
Apply Double PressureIn the north, the American
34th division applied double pressure. On the road from Pinama- poan, the main body of the divl- aion lunged against enemy positions near Llmon, gateway to the Ormoc corridor. West of the road, another unit o f the division swung around through the hills, virtu^ly cut the roaJ behind an estimated .2,000 Japanese front line troops.
To the east and north, pressure was 'applied by the First Cavalry division, which overran several enemy strong points and seized hilltops as it moved westward through the tangled peaks. No road served this division; 'and Us forward elements probed the roughest terrain to 5nd the stubborn Japanese defense positions. Mt. Mamban, a 3,830-foot peak, and Hills 4047 and 4018 fell to the cavalry. ,
Four-Mile Advance Ms4leF u to the south, the veteran
Seventh division, seldom mentioned in i-ecent communiques, was disclosed to have advanced four miles t o ' the west coaat town of Balogo, only 10 miles from Ormoc. Less than 30 miles now separates the 34th on the north and the Seventh.,on the south.
The daily headquarters communique announced the division had repelled a Japanese counter-attack

Waiter Held>\
For Slaying Two Women
Handcuffed by Alert Patrolman Sooft After Description B r o a d cast; Admits Crimes.Los Ang'ilea, Nov. 16—(P)—A
husky, 31-year-old waiter was held incommunicado today after confessing, police said, one of the most flendiah Crimea on record—the mutilation slaying of two nude women in separate downtown hotels. *'■
Drinking wine at a .nearby bar, Otto, Steve Wilson, recently medically discharged from the Navy, waa handcuffed last night by an alert patrolman shortly after the suspect’s deacrlption had been broadcast.
Dloembowrled In Closet The first victim was Virgie t«e
Griffin, 25, wife of a truck driver. A hotel maid on routine cleaning rounds found her lying disemboweled in the closet of one room. The torso had been slit from neck to abdomen, the right leg severed at the hip and knee, the right shoulder hacked through. Bits of flesh, cut from other parts o f the body, Uttered the blood-soaked' carpet A butcher knife with a 9-inch blade lay nearby. Razor blades were scattered on the floor.
Police Detective Lieut. R. F. Mc- Qarry quoted Wilson as saying he killed her “because she wanted more money." ,
M4Mt Fiendish Crime 8o4^ Detective Lieut. Harry Itonaen
jailed it “ the most fiendlan crime in my 19 years of experience here. It is worse than the Winnie Ruth Judd case.”
Mra. Judd Is serving a life sentence for slaying Mrs. Agnes Le- Roi and Hedvig Bamuelaon. her roommates in Pkoenix. Ariz., and ■ending the dismembered bodies in a trunk to Los Angeles in 1931.
Even as a screaming hotel maid set off an Intensive city-wide police aear^ yesterday, the second victim yras dying In another hostelry a/few blocks away.
S l ^ was Mrs. Lillian Johnson, abo^it 38; wife of a merchant seaman now reported in the South Pacific.
Found stretched on a bed, she had been slashed from the breasts to the pelvic region.
Lieut. McGafry said Wilson related that he hit her, then slashed her with a razor 'Itor some reason —Just pure .cuMcdness, I guess.”
Identified as Companion Both the operator o f the first
hotel and a bellboy at the second had identified Wilson as the companion, first of Mra. Griffin and later of Mrs. Johnson, In registering at the two hotels,
Wilson, a medically discharged Navy man, waa booked on suspicion of murder. A t first he sullenly maintained hla innocence despite bloodatabia on his hands and shoes. In his pocket, police said they found a razor. Removing his shirt ,they discovered scratches on his back as though made by a woman’s fingernails in a frantic death atruggle. ^

Roosevelt, Would Have Won Without Getting Aid from 11 States.
Might Throng Back Within 12 Miles of
, Capital of Hungary.Moscow,, Nov. 16.—(/P)— -
The Red Army has cracked the German flank east of Budapest, and is hurling its armored might through a breach within 12 miles of the Hungarian capital, front dispatches said today. A decisive battle for control of the invasion routes to Austria appeared Imminent.
Damsgtsg Withdrawal Forced A sustained pounding’ by wave
after wave of Marahal Rodion Y. Malinovsky’s assault forces forced the enemy into a damaging withdrawal from more than 50 towns and villages, including the large railway Junction of Jaazbereny,
target o f a four-day attack.(The Berlin radio announced to
day the loss bf the H un^nan town of Jaszarokazallas, 38 .miles nort|i- eaat bf Budapest. It is 10 miles north of Jaszbereny, whose loss the Germans reported yesterday).
The German withdrawal extended along a 100-mlle fron t' from Mende, 12 miles southeast of Budapest, to Korom and other towns 10 miles below the north Hungarian rail Junction of Miskolc.
The tired and mauled German panzer units fell back' toward the southem^base of the Matra mountains and westward to the perimeter defenses o f Budapest.
Siege Line Draws 'nghter One Soviet column, following the
Jaazbereny-Budapest railWay, passed we'II beyond Mende, 12 mijes from the capital, and drew the siege line tighter against the virtually doomed city.

Question How Far Go in Attempt Apply Economic Controls to Operations.Chicago, Nov. 16. — (/Pi — The
question facing leading figures of .t!)<!;,.j!)ternationaI Civil Aviation conference today in their bold attempt to cut swiftly through differences which block the path to agreement on a world air agency is ■imply:
How far should the world go now in attempting to apply economic controls to airline operations between countries?

But an analysis today showed that President Roosevelt woula have won all his four terms without counting the' south’s elevsn- state electoral vote. The same held true o f Wilson in his 1912 election.
Politicians expressed surprise ’at these facts. But - beyond an observation here and there. that southern voters also , might be unaware of the historical record they preferred to let the situation speak for itself.
It Is obvious, however, that the Democratic party, while not needing the south’s vote in the electoral college to wih with Roosevelt four times and Wilson once, coulo 'Oet have maintained its majorities in Oongesss without that Mg bloc of vetM below the Mason-Dlxon line.

Snpertvisorg Union Bows To ^ a r Labor Board Order; ‘Normal’ Number on Early Shifts.Paterson, N. J., Nov. 16.—i/Pi—
Wright Aeronautical Corporation employes streamed back to work today to make B-29 Suoer-For- tress engines as a union of 1 , ^ Bupervisors, bowing to a War Labor Board order, ended a strike which had made 33,000 idle and stopped production at the com- pan]?a five plants in this area for three days.
A spokesman - for the company said a “normal” number of employes reported for work on the staggered early morning shifts and production wSa resumed in all departments.
Normal output waa expected to be reached some time today. The spokesman said he believed all the Striking supervisors due to report this morning were back.
Promises Speedy Action The strike ended after the WLB
promised the Wright Aircraft Supervision Association speedy conaideratioD of the members’ claimed grievances on condition they call off the walkout.
More than 1,500 members of the unaffiliated union voted almost unanimously laat night to rgturn .to work starting with the 7:16 m;-.(e.w.t.) shift today.
The back-to-work call to the 32,000 i^ade idle by the strike started yesterday afternoon as soon as word was received from Washington that Union leaders conferring there with'^WL® officials had agreed to end the walkout.
Special Panel PromliwdDavid G. Newcomb, union pres
ident, told the members, last night that WLB Chairman Willijm H. Davis had promised that, if ths atrike was ended a .special region-
ory board, without power relating to routes, rates and schedules? That is what the United States wanted.
The details involved have been tremendous, and momentous, because In this attempt at world cooperation in economic controls may lie the pattern for other attempts to Work as a team when the United Nations sit around the peace table.
Prefers To Lay FoundationThe British commonwealth Of
nations is united in the view that now is the time to write the answers Into a treaty. The United States prefers to lay a foundation composed of stiid.v and experiment. With the feeling that the experience will be valuable in building a permanent structure for economic controls at some future time.
There is a great deal more to the present parley than econqmlc problems. One Item which ' has universal acclaiiti is the writing of a new set of standards for operating aircraft — the kind of maps snd weather reports to be used, marking of the planea, size and marking of airports, communications systems, qualification of ground and air crews, method of searching for lost planes, customs controls, and minimum quality of aircraft. The last world attempt o f that kind waa written at Paris in 1919, the International convent-

ministrator Chester Bowles said today that the greatest threat from inflation would come three to six months after victory in Europe.
“ It la then that we will face preaaurea from all aides to lift Inventory controls, to lift price controls and production controla,” he said in a speech prepared for the governors’ aesaion of the third New England War conference.
"Must Hold Line Firmly"“ We muat weather those critical
months,” he continued. "We muat hold the price line firmly and with Intelligence.
“If we come through this.period of criala with our price levels still stabilized, with rapidly increasing production, with inventories in healthy condition, we can face the problem of price and rent decontrolling.”

' Refers To Fishing FleetThe resolution also referred to
the Japanese fishing fleet which the conferees also felt must be watched cloeely for the same reason.
The conference waa ready to receive the results of the panel discussions on private enterprise and on raw materials and foodstuffs which will be made public at a session this afternoon.
The theme of the resolutions on food stuffs and raw materials, according to one delegate. Is that trade barriers must be removed generally to ease the movement of goods and commodities to coun- trie: whei0they are needed most.
'French DelegnMon Arrives . Discussions on , private enter
prises were high-lighted by the llth-hour participation o r the French delegation which finally arrived yesterilay afternoon being delayed by weather.
The French, In a statement read by Em'est Merrier, head of France’s Electric Power Assoclar tion, pleaded for the continuation of private Industry after the war, but recognized that nationalization of some industries was Inevitable.
"The provisional government of the French republic lias on several occasions publicly stated Its determination to nationalize a certain number of privately controlled Industries or financial institutions,’’ Merrier said.
"Some of us will be personally affMted by such decisions, aimed at Industries to which we ..have contributed or crMted and develop!^. Our position as regards such government Initiative must, however, be -Mctated by the fact that before being manufacturers or businessmen we are French."

A field dispatch bald h^avy German counter-attacks prevented further American advances from the south snd west toward Metz. Although the Fifth division .held tight about a mile and a half soutgi of the fortress city, the Germans recaptured Peltre, two and a half miles southeast.
Wolppy. a mile and half northwest of Metz, waa occupied by the 95 th division’s 379th regiment After breaking through for three miles. However, the 379th lost Fort Hubert, west of Metz, to an enemy flank attack.

Premature Discharge of Victors in Europe Would Hurt in Pacific.New Haven, Nov. Ifi.—(P)— Dr.
C. R. Rungee, publicity ch a trn ^ at the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ Connecticut department, today predicted that "even if the Nazis
’ should suddenly cult fighting, it Is not yety likely that able-bodied persorfii in the armed forces In Eu- rqp4 will be demobilized if their sendees are still essential to victory over the Japs.”
Dr. Rungee said:"We have heard this question
of ’bringing the boys home’ frequently discussed during the past few weeks by political spellbifld- ers. Regardless of implied prom- Ises made, or Individual recommendations set forth, don’t be fooled about the time element involved. It vflll take time and plenty of It!Would Endanger Pacific Fighters
“ I have no doubt that the War department will do all in its power to release as many men as possible just as soon as they can oe spared. But the premature dls charge of any tro<ms would en danger those brave men now fighting the Jape In the Philippines and elsewhere. Even when all our enemies are finally crushed, and hosUUtles have ceased throughout the world. It Is hard for the average citizen to even faintly grasp the tremendous task Involved In transporting safely home the hundreds of ’ thousands of our troops.
“ Parents will just have to remember that the government wili do lU utmost to get the boys back at the first opportimlty,"
concluded Dr. Rungee. "A t leeist every man In the armed forces has tbe assurance that when he finally does emerge from a separation center, his country is going to make every effort and erffer every help to restore him to a happy American way of life when he enters civilian ranks once more.
'Thanks to legislation now on the statute books, chiefly as a result o f the everlasting efforts Of organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, this is an accomplishe<f fact."

Explains Ismk of Ribbons He explained his lack of ribbons
"I only have two ribbons that mean anything (the distinguished service cross and distinguished service medal) and I didn’t preserve them. Tile ribbons should be left to the guys, who take It day and night and get shot up.”
Evidence of impatience at his enforced rest while waiting for reassignment came out in this remark :
"This being at home waiting is very tough on Mrs. Stilwell, tougher even than when I was overseas." He refused to comment on where his next assignment might take him.* Asked how he rated about the house, the veteran leader of tough jungle warfar esaid “ Right after the dog. I have no illuaions."
He declared he was "raising" Hell with those trees around here." pointing to trees and hedges about the quarter-acre estate.
However, Henry SpardeU the S|tllwell gardener, declared, “he la a I tough guy, climbs around on that hedge over there like a mon key. But he is not much help in the garden."

(]alls Com ing in fo r High School Students T o Do Odd Jobs."The Placement Service estab
lished S t the High school 13 years ago. Is booming again with calls from local factorisa, stores and from mothers for help after school.
The centpr carries the names of boy and girl students who are not engaged in work of any nature after school. Whenever a call comes In. the center, through Its dltoctor. Miss Georgia Greenaway, sends out a student for the position.
The center Is in operation for two reasons. The first being to place graduates and the second to give students part Ume employment In order to keep many of them In school who hove financial hardships at home.
All Kinds of Jobs The calls In general are for
clerical help, mothers’ helpers, sales girls and niimesous other odd jobs.
In the past few years, the center has not been able to meet the demands of the town which is partly due to the present day working conditions due to war.
Started During DepreesiqnThe Placeipent Service started
back In the depression era when it was almost impossible to find jobs for the High school graduates. On the many years that have passed, the school has kept up Its fine work so that now, for example, when mothers wish to go out. It la possible to call the school and secure a girl to care for a child. The center Is without question, a great help to many local residents and that la why many calls come In.
Whole School Canvassed The school, each year, canvasses
the entire student body to find out just what their activities are after school. The ones who are not engaged In work or other duties, register with Miss Greenaway. When a call comes In, whateiterJt may be. A^student is secured to help the Interested party,

Would Add Fifth Ster , Legislation to add a fifth star
to the shoulder clusters o f a group of four-star generals and admirals marched toward the top of Oon- gress' Hat today.
It was shoved ahead after Speaker Rayburn and Chairman May (D-Ky) o f the House Military committee disclosed that President Roosevelt would like to see It enacted.
The legislation U in a position to be called up In the House at any time. Differences of opinion' over how many generala and admirals should be given the "super” ranking could delay consideration.
Current plans provide for the desl^atlon of two generals' and two admirals as “ general of the Army" and "admiral o f the fleet," respectively.
■These designation* presumably would be bestowed on Gen. George C. Marshall, Army chief of staff, and Gen. Dwight Elsenhower, commanding Allied action In Europe, and dh Admiral Ernest J- King, chief of Naval operations, and Admiral WUllam D. Leahy, the president’s .chief o f staff.
Would Add Four MoreA move now afoot would permit
the designation of four generals and four admirals for the high

No Legislative BuelneeoThere was no legislative busi
ness on today's House program, but the Special Campaign Expenditures commlttso met to decide whether to InveiUfiate the allegedly political ugs of the congressional free mall privilege. '
In the Senate, Majority Leader Barkley (Ky) diacloted that efforts are' under way to. avoid a fight , over a proposal by Senator Vapd'enberg (R-MIch) to freeze social security payroll taxes at fuesent levels. The next step may be tonffer.a comproi^lse on a new rate, ahA. a' revised formula for creation r f a reserve.
Unless legislation Is passed between now and Die. SI, the present payroll tax of one per cent each on employers and employes will go to two per cent on eSch.

France Re-BornA im * Minister Churchill and
Foreign Secretary Eden seem to hav* been pleasanUy surprised aurlng their sojourn in France. They made their Journey, perhaps, with the purpose of carrying forward a few more steps the careful, delicate process'of readmitting France to the circle of great naU6ns. That, with the admission o f France to the European .Advisory Commission, with plans fo r increased French participation In the remainder o f the' fighting. with decision that French /forces Win take part In the occupation o f Germany, they accom- jdished.
But, from all account, they found such recognition of jjryancs rs-bom much easier and more natural than they had sx- ipgeted. They found that France^ although suffering from long captivity and darkness, has come out o f that trial with new vigor and a .fresh, positive outlook. They found the French people keen , to avoid idd historic mistakes, and aager-to reform those tendencies o f Fnnch existence which were so weakening In the days before this war. But more than that, they found a new brand o f leadership <m the scene. General de Gaulle has apparently gathered around himself a group o f young men of Integrity and Intelligence who are guided by pure and progr^wrtve patriotism— all in happy eontrast to the diseased brand o f Ibader- ptSip which burdened France in the pre-war years.
The Impression Churchill and Xden got was, In other" words, an ImpreMlon o f health and vigor and spirit which, despite all the physical Injpry France has suf-
*fered, sUll bespeaks a great people and a great nation.
This was the first . time the British and French nations met each other as free equals since the fall o f France, when Mr. Churchill made his famous offer o f union between the two countries. France did not accept tha^ offer, hut it did produce a man who had the fiame and the courage to keep Insisting th.at France was not conquered. And that man,~General de Gaulle, had some ringing words to s«y during this present meeting. RefeiTing to
■ Hitler’s claim that the Nazi system would last for a thousand
,years, General de Gaulle said:•‘I do not know what will re
main of bis system In a thousand yesu-s, but I do know that m a thousand years’ time France, Which has had some experience of blood, sweat and tears, will not have forgotten w’hat has been accomplished In this war through the blood, sweat and tears by the noble British people under the leadership of their Prime Minister.” - '
The spectacle of Prime Minister Churchill getting some of his own noble sentiments back with fervent interest is a pleasant s\’m- holism o f the return of France to dignity, respect, and honor. •
highest judges ami ,.the political^ boB.scH of the O’Goni.ell machine leave little doubt as to the accuracy of the Dewey prosecutor’s Claim that the Albany county Jury ll^ts are padded with people pledged to play the game of that political machine. .
-The Dewey prosecutor produced the telephone conversations in order to support his request for a change of the place of trial fqr the grand larceny case now pending against one of the O’Connell lieutenants. But there need be little doubt that these disclosures In themselves constitute, for the public at least, a conviction of the political machine for which Governor Dewey has been^ gunning.
When a notorious machine like the O'Connell organization la subjected to political criticism, there are always those defenders who plead that such machines are necessary, that they are benevolent organizations w1io are paternally generous to the people, that the attack on them is motivated entirely by political envy of them.
But thorough Investigation can usually destroy such illusions, and do It by producing the dirt and corruption which Is the real quality of the machine. And when such disclosures come, nothing proves more shocking to the American people than to learn that such a machine has extended Its Influence and control to the bench on which justice fs supposed to Sit. There Is then nothing pleasantly harmless about such a machine. To the contrary, it Is revealed as a malignant growth which strikes at the very citadel of the democratic system of life. The O’Connell machine now stands thus revealed, and Its now frantic struggles for escape are likely merely to have the result of tightening the noose around Its neck. Friends of clean government everywhere can watch Its approaching demise with satisfaction.

L Albany Machine On The RunGovernor Dewey’s long court
bailie against the O'Connell machine in Albany produced sensational fruit over the weekend,
'W ith the disclosure by the Dewey . prosecutor o f telephone conversa-
tlona between leaders of the ‘AO'Coimell machine and members
t t ths Supreme Court bench In , Albany County. The results of -this wire-tapping dlacloaed that theae political leaders had these high judgw in their vest pOcketa ■Ml that these judges not only coaiulted with the poUUciene in

tlon, ths first great triumph of Busslan Communism, was cels- brated last Sunday In Rome. The celebration wat sponsored by Communl-st and Socialist Italian leaders. I t was participated In by more than 80,000 Romans. It was thJ greatest mass demonstration modem Italy hat ever known — greater than anything Mussolini achieved—and much more spontaneous.
It was fairly clear why 80,000 Romans turned out for such a demonstration. I t wat not to cheer Communism. I t was, by all accounU, primarily to boo the Italian monarchy. Soma o f those going to the meeting carried red flags. Mors of them carried Italian flags, from which the emblem of the House of Sayoy had been removed. The demonstration, was against the continuation o f monarchy in Italy.
I f one asks why a demonstration against monarchy has to sx- preaa itself under (Communist and Socialist auspices, one merely points out the advantages the democratic powers are, by their own policy, yielding to more radical elements. A demonstration against the lU lian monarchy could, theoretically, be held under democratic auspices, were It not for the fact that Allied diplomacy In Italy ha* been at obvious pains to protect and preseiwe the House of Savoy.
Opposition to monarchy Is a healthy' democratic sentiment. But It la not, In lU ly , the calculated policy of the democraciea. Accordingly, when the people of Italy wish to campaign against the continuation of the monarchy, they find Communist and Socialist auspice,* .the only friendly aua- plces.
All this points a moral. Italy, like every European country scarred > y this war, la coming out of the war into a period of political tumult. It is every one’s hope that that tumult and jtru gg le Will eventually settle down Into a democratic, non-toUlitarian form of government,. We do hot want Italy to go' Communist, which would be the extreajely radical result of Italy ’s present ferment And Italy need hot go Commu nist, not If some middle way splU' tlon Is kept open. But If the diplomacy of tbe Allies is going to be to' cling to the monarchy, then the inlddle way may be closed, and Italians forced over to the drastic auspices of Communism, simply because Communism seems to them the only way to get rid W monarchy.
T h e more we defend and bolster the monarchy, the more Communism is likely to flourish In Italy, not because the. Italians ir e Communists, which they coi,iId never really be, but because CaltninUf nism offers them a method by which to achieve an objrtiUve. Communism baa never yet been
To a very pronounced degree, the things thkt produced party defeat in Connecticut for the Re- 'Ipublican organization also produced national defeat for the party. It even goes beyond that,, for Connecticut ’ personalities were actually projected Into the national duplication of Connecticut errors.'
The Connecticut Republican convention complacently thought that It could renominate a, liability without any risk to US own chances of election aucceae.
The Chicago convention followed suit b.v complacentl.v assuming that It could afford to assume the liability of snubbing Wendell Wlllkle, its 1940 candidate, to the extent of not oven Inviting him to.llvo minutes of microphone time.The Connecticut organization’s
loyalty to its own liability created a handicap’ It never did overcome.
The national organization’s careless and callous assumption of the liability of snub to Willkfe created a handicap It never did overcome, either.
But, as we said above, the parallel went further than that. For It was the outstanding winner In the Connecticut election and the o\itstan«hng loser in the Connecticut election who were, back at the time of the Chicago convention. In the same contrasting roles In which the election itself revealed them. Only there, the election winner was the convention loser, and vice versa.
The great pre-convention fight at Chicago was over the foreign policy plank to be adopted by that convention. Connecticut’s John A. Danaher sat as a member of the platform committee, and subsequently claimed, with proper modesty, that he had played some part In its formulation. He was, at least, a symbol of the domination of that commutes by senatorial isolationists which resulted in the adoption o f a foreign policy plank which Included careful double-talk.
There were, also at Chicago, a group o f progressive Republicans who believed that toelr party could n6t afford to <Wal In platform double-talk, and who formulated and pressed a demand that tbe convention adopt a foreign policy plank which said what It meant and meant what It aald.
And the leader ol thie movement wae Connecticut’s Raymond K. Bialdwin. He and his alUee loet their flight. The pro- greealve governors got nowhere ngsinst the blank wnU pat up by the Senate obstruettenisto. Slgnlflcaatly. Governor Baldwin’s first onO stter tbe convention w is upon Wenifell W lllkle In New York. Significantly, upon his return to Connecticut, he decided that this was the time for him to put Into effect n long-formulating Intention to retire from politics. When Connecticut demanded otherwise, he reconsidered hla personal decision. and be then managed to accept the Chicago platform and ths Chicago candidate as a good political soldier 'would.• But the Issue Jisd been made
sufficiently clear. The Chicago convention had burdened Ita candidate with a platform handicap, plus a snub to Wlllkle, which i he never did quite overcome. On the other hand, had the Baldwin way prevailed at Chicago, ths party and Us candidate might have had a clear chance at victory.
The election losing decisions In Connecticut and at Chicago were very similar, even down* to the personalities Involved In th e^ de- c'slons.

Jones has been struggling to estimate needed production of some 50 commodities in time for state goal roeetipgs.
But unpredictable factors make it hard for Jones and the goal committees to say how much the

3. National income next yeari. I f income declines, it ia assumed that civilians will not be able to purchase so much food.
4. Weather. Nature has smiled on the U. S. the past eight years and the nation has produced eight consecutive recoro yields. But the Department of Agricultuu figures It can’t last always, so there mustnition ’s farmers should produce --------- _ .
next year. The administrator gen- he an allowance for a drop backerally has decided to take the safe route and avoid any scarcity-
Here are some of the puzzlers;1. Quantity of food and feed
the military services must have. This was considered important, for War Mohiliratlon Director James F. Byrnes said recently that the first year after V-E day military procurement would decline 4,000,- 000 tons.
2. European requirement* for food Byrnea said it appeared they could be met without very large drafts on U. S. production in 1945.
So the committees havj to take into account the possible situation if the European war ends before
to normal or possibly below normal yielde.
The Surpluc ProblemThen, too. ther* was the ques
tion o f what would happen If ’the nation should find itself next year with large surpluses. Already there are largi. stocks of wheat and cotton. The Surplus Property Disposal Act authorizes the Commodity Credit Corporation to dispose of some of that surplus in world markets t world prices.
The goal expert* don’t want too great a surplus. Over-yield* In some commodities could be used to build up depleted reserves as insurance against future bad
years, but any large surpluses might mean farm prices would fall below parity or support prices. The government would then be obliged during the two yeari, after the war to buy up Jow-priced commodities to bolster the price.
.And the government doesn’t watu, to buy any more than it has to. \
Boll ConservationSoil conservation is discussed
by the committees also. Continued high productior. for eight yearsr especially o f such crops as peanuts and soyb^ns, probably has taken something \u t of the soil in some localit'es, and the department, wishes to kedp soli in the best condition possible.
Theifeed supply was a factor in talks about livestock production. The department’- meat goal committee finally recommended that some 1,000,900 more cattle be slaughtered than were killed this year.
The committee split three ways on hog goals, and Jones was called upon to decide whether there should be c. slight decrease, a slight Increase or the same production next year.

Third Great iMueThe third great Issue Is a ffje
thod for resuming airline operations between nations as quickly as poMible. The United States is eager to do that, regards it as the meeting's no. 1 goal. Some other countries, araongr them Canada, are In no hurry to start flying. Their view Is that the United States has all of the planes, most o f the other equipment an*' a large meaaurd of the experience, so that an early start would be against their Interest and In favor of America..
The plans carried to Chicago on Nov. 1 and presented with oratorical flourishes have taken on a weather-beaten look from two weMB o f committee room handling. Taken apart subject by subject and Referred to sub-committees for minute study and amendment, none of them looks quite the same.
The technical convention — that la the agreenjent to a set of standards which are set out in annexes or -.appendices — came through best of all. I t Is four- fifths approved and the path has been marked for bringing It to completion next year. ^
Plan Generally AccepUbleThe matter o f Hying now or as
soon as possible also is about settled on a plan no one can call liis own but which seems generally acceptable. It w ill provide for an agency to administer technlcg-l matters, the standard* for operations and proficiency. ^eyond that it probably will be what the United States had proposed^ — an agency for gathering daU and exchanging Information.

11 seems that the parents of the high school students, those really thoughtful. Intelligent voters. In the complete privacy of the voting booths, did not pull the Republican lever in spite of your well- meant advice.
Perhaps you would like to open a school In Manchester for the parents of higb school students to educate thefti In the art of voting the way you would like them to. Too bad they let you down, W illard. Thank the Lord that there are really thoughtful, intelligent voters who vote the way their minds tell them to, and are not swayed by carnation-wearing, hotair spouting individuals who are looking out for their own W'elfare, and not that of the taxpayer and private citizens.
Your answer to my little, note was exactly wihat was expected of you. Evidently my note got under your skin. A man In your social position should never allow anything to bring him down to the level of a common, everyday person by calling names In public. Of course, you dressed the names up so that only your class o f the Intelligentsia would be able to figure them out without the aid of a dictionary, Evidently, that was the only defense you had.
It was a pretty poor one considering the prominent Individual it came from. I hope I get a better answer from you this time, or would that be too much to expect
In your letter, you ask the people to contrast the status of the ConnecticQt treasury with that of tbe Federal Financial Siuatlon.
Did you mention the fiasco of the Governor’s Mansion? An old I9-«oom houss bought with the taxpayer’s money, for what purpose? Exactly 8167,000 has been
as good a time by serving refreshments In their own home* after the Prom and parents and teachers. both, should emphasize the decency of getting hi at a respectable hour. Father^ could help hgre by curtailing gas and spending money.
TOerc are always a few who like to put oh a sophisticated act, but since when has it been either well bred or in good taste for a High school child to be sophisticated? Heywood Brown defined sophistication as a sybtle method of covering np bad manners.
Boys particularly should be re- mindeJ that since they are acting as escorts it is their duty as gentlemen to get the' girls home at a respectable hour. One hour after ths Prom should give these youngsters sufficient time to eat and get home.-
As a •matter of fact, how about using the High school cafeteria for a night club for one \evening and let them eat there? I ’m sui-e mothers and father* and .even teachers would be glad to cp-r>per- ate for one evening for supervision and food.
A t any rate a little pep talk from teachers amd parents on the subject of hours won’t hurt the youngsters at all.

By H. M. Mne.^ ’ 4- Acting State Dtrector j
' Office of Price AdmiaUtratloii |Cigarettes are prominent in the ;
news this week. Almost every- j where I gO I hear people dlacuss- | ing toe shortage If certain popular 1 brands and, in some places, cigarette prices are a topic of conver- aation.
Of course, OPA has nothing to , do with th« .cigarette supply, but | we are (fhtereste* In the price. A ; good many smokers don’t tamw this. Or If they do know that all cigarettes, whether sold across the counter os from a vending ma- 1 chine, are under price control, they aren’t quite how these price ceilings are fixed.
Briefly, here are the things to keep In mind. .The legal price for cigarettes Is the highest price the seller charged In March of 1942. plus the federal taxes which have been added since that time. In the average store, this means
• that ceiling on popular brands 1* 16 'i cents, that fraction repre.sent- ing the most recenl~tax. However, in sales of a single pack, C ^A regulations permit the retailer to take toe full cent.
A * for the compliance with these price regulations. It has been generally excellent In Conneett- cut. During the past week, however, In some of our- shore line communities there have been com- pUinU about overcharges. Over- the-counter sale* are apparently as honest as ever, but some vending machine sales are not. Again and again, we have heard .that such-and-such a machine is selling cigarettes for 19 or 20 cents, that la. It returns a penny or nothing for toe 20 cents Inserted.
W e have already started an In- Teatlgatlon of these complaint* and we plan to call a meeting of all vending .machine operators within a week. Meanwhile. If you believe you are being overcharged fo r cigarettes, report the matter to toe Price Panel o f your War Price and Rationing Board.
Is that sugar canister nearly empty? I f It Is, It can be replenished any time after November 16 because on that day Sugar Stamp 84 In W ar Ration Book Four becomes valid for five pounds. As ia the ease with all other sugar •tamps, this new one will be valid Indeflnitely.
Although the W ar Is stilt far from finished, it’s not too early to look anxiously to the period Immediately following the conflict and to ask what we can expect of ft. One thing is sure . . We canexpect that fo r some time price control w ill play an even more Important role theh,
I t was after the Armistice, many of you will remember, that prices really got out o f line the last time. This fact was brought home to me more clearly than ever by a list of price rises between November of I9 ’ 8 and July of 1920.
Here’s a selection from toe list.Wheat flour cost 6.7 cents a
pound, in 1918,'but had climbed to 8.8 cents by 1920. Rice sold for 14 cents a pound in 1918, reached 18.7 cents by 1920. Sugar was around 10 cents a pound during tob war years, but after the War It zoomed to a high of 26.7’cents.
'The list is long, too long to use here, but the moral Is short and simple. Everything that goes up must eventually come down and when inflated prices com* down they com* dowrn with a crash that is felt by every citizen, 'rich and poor alike.
That’s exactly what happened at the end of 1920... .Prices plummeted as much as 79 per cent (In the case of oranges) In a few short months. Plenty of jobs plummeted at the same time.
Grange Picks Its Officers
Raymond Thomas Chos* «n a s Master; Names o f Other Leaders.
Fortunately, we learned a lesson from our experiences during toe period of 1918 to 1920. Today we have price control. This curb on the cost of living has generally kept prices s tA le or prevented them from getting out of hand.
Yet toe pressure is always there. As commodities grow short and the_demand for them Increases, the pressure becomes especially great, requiring the efforts o f all of us to hold it in check.
A t present, moat foodstuffs are stable. Much of toe credit for this stability goes to the retail grocer who has kept his ceiling price charts posted and inflationary prices off his shelves. The average grocer knows that this is the' beat way to protect his Investment,
His moat recent move toward strengthening his position against a price rise is the Grocer-Consumer Anti-Inflation Campaigui. You’ll be hearing more about this from now on. You’ll see evidences e f )t when you visit your grocerjr store. For during the next month or two, the great majority o f Connecticut grocera will have the stores decorated with posters and streamers invitipg their customers to check and double-check selling prices against ceiling prices.
The motto of the campaign, “ Let’s team up to keep prices dowm,” plainly demonstrates toe understanding and the publlc- splritedneas with which the grocery trade has brought to an eco- nopilc problem which will grow more Important as the War draws nearer to an end.
Raymond Thomas of 36 Drive D> Silver Lane Homes, was elected master of Manchester Grange, No. 81, Patrons of Husbandry, at Its annual meeting last night in .the Masonic Temple.

Tribute From BoomvfU President Roosevelt today paid
tribute to New England's contribution to the winning of the war on the home front and on the fighting fronts in a message saluting the opening of the New England council's Third War conference.
The president'a prepared message to Council President EMward E. Chase, president of the Maine Securities Company. Portland, was made public as governors' of the six New England states, high military and Naval authorities and approximately 1,200 busineaa leaders assembled to discuss the area's responsibilities In war and In ■ the peace to come.
At the aame time council directors announced the election of Frederick Steele Blackall, Jr., of Cumberland Hill, R. I., aa the tenth president of the New England council.
The text of President Roosevelt’s message follows:
“ I am certain that the 20tb New xingland conference, which you Bubtitle the ’third New Blng- land War conference,’ will be productive o f important discussions and decisions. The signiHcSnce of the New England coimcil grows with the years.
“ It has always seemed to me— and. Indeed, mos, Americans miiat share this feeling—that pioneering work is indigenous to the history, geography and mentality of New England. Your reservoirs of talent—Industrial, educational, scientific, social—are always filled to overflowing. New England 'exports’ many of its great sons to other parts of the nation but the supply at home is always adequate.
•Will Make Impressive Page”"The contrlbuti'jna of New
England to the winning of the war, on the home front as on the fighting fronts,, will make an impressive page In the history of our era. The farsightedness of New Englanders, expressed through cohesive orgMizatlons like the New England council, gives promise of continued growth and expansion in all helda of human enterprise after the war.
“When you convene on Thursday, N ov. 18, please extend my greeUnga to the alx New England governors, to assembled military executives and to members of the New England council."
Long, Tough Struggle Seen Secretary of the Navy James
V. Forrestal said, in a message to the conference, that the Pacific war “ rtemains a long, lough struggle, blit we are making good prog ress and we must have in store some unpleasant surprises for the Japs.
“In the past four and one-half years,’ ’’ he added. “New England has produced for the Navy almost 400 warships and approximately 6,000 Navy planes, plus ah array of ordnance, clothing; food,— and suppUea too vast to describe. We appreciate all these materials.
“ But the Navy is especially grateful for the 295,000 men and women from New England who wear Its uniform. TTiey are the flesh and blood of alx great states, and they era worthy of the high eat traditions of those BUiM.”
Rear Admiral Felix ; Gygax, commandant of the First Naval district, said, in a prepared address, that the public ahould not let good news from the European and Pacific areas engineer “a highly dangerous mood, which says to us, figuratively, ’We’re doing pretty well in both Europe and the Pacific. The worst must be over. -Now ive can ease up a bit.
“ I don’t have to tell you,” he added, “ that thta type of logic U vlcioua. It will cause American men to die on their way to Tokyo and Berlin. I am certain that you, as the government and business leaden of New England, will not let this happen."

Orders
Norfolk, Nov. 16.—IF)—Brendan Oill, magaaine 'writer and author, said today ha had raoatvad erdan to report for Mductlon into the Army. Ha ia 99, marriad and
general chairman of the Manchester Centennial observahee.'Since leaving Manchester early
In 1933 Mr. Anderson has been an executive with Amos ParriBh, internationally famous style promo-' tlon and advertising house, at that firm’s New York office. He and his family had made their home in Bronxville since leaving here.
In 51th YearMr. Anderson was born in
Manchester on February 21, 1888, son of the late Samuel and Jen
nie (Gordon) Anderson. He attended the Ninth district schools and graduated from the Manchester High school in 1905. He had planned to enter Tufts College and had worked summers at various jobs In> order to earn college expenses. After graduating from high school he was employed by the late Justus W. Hale, founder of the J. W. Hale Company.
Mr. Hale was quickly appreciative of young Anderson’s mercantile ability and Induced him to continue to work in the Hale store. After four years the young merchant was admitted to partnership in the Hale firm and when the company waa incorporated in 1910 Mr. Anderson waa made secretary and a director. Four years later Mr. Hale retired and Mr. Anderson took over the active manage' ment of the store. Later he ac. quired control of the Hale-corpora' tion upon the death of Mr. Hale in 1919. s
' .Expkpnded Baslnes)i Mr. Anderson was anxious to ex-
pand the store business and the House and Hale Company erected on addition at the rear of the House and Hale block to provide additional floor space for the store. The Self Serve grocery, the first o f its kind in Conaecticut, and oae o f the first in New England, was located In this addition afld waa opened for business in 1920. The Self Serve Grocery Was a factor in attracting a considerably in' creased amount of business to the Hale store as wen as to other stores in Manchester.
In 1924 the Health Market was added to the Self Serve grocery. Then in 1928 when the business had grrown too large for the Oak street building a combined Self Serve Grocery and Health Market was established at Main and Park streets in a new block that had been eracted in order to bring the Montgomery Ward Company store to Manchjpter. Later the grocery and market departments oC Hale's ware returned to the Main and Oak street building.
Active. In First W af Aa stated previoualy Mr. Ander
son was one of the town’s most acti've figures In civilian life during the First World War. He was chairman, or member o f the executive ''committee, in practlraUy every campaign ftfir fu n ^ in ‘town. He launched the original drive for funds for the Manchester Memorial hospital In 1919 and was instrumental In having the present Army and Navy club erected as a meeting place for men returning from war aervica.
As Manchester’s Centennial year approached a committee heqjded by Mr. Anderson began making plana for the event in 1922. In October. 1923, this town obrarved its 100th anniversary and under Mr. Ander. aon’a g e n e ^ direction staged a ae- ricf o f events long to be remem- b e M . T he success of the Centennial rematna as a monument to Mr. Anderson’s genini and hia ability to direct such events.
Baal Estate Vantara In 1925 Mr. Andaraen devoted
considerable time to promotion and Bale o f real estate near SL Peteratnirg. Florida. In company with local and oii| o f town Invest* o n ha was Interested toi developing a residential project known aa "Seminole Estates.” This was not a Bucceoaful venture os ahort- ly afterward the Florida real estate Ixmm broke and, Mr. Anderson then devoted hie entire Interests to ths Hals stors. -
Ifr . Aadsrson was aettva la many other civic Mlatn In town end also in social and fraternal circlea. . He wae affiliated with Manchester Lodge o f ifhsans and the allied Maeonlc bodies. He was a past president of the Msiwhes- ber Chamber of Commerca, a '“ ^“*
mas packages until after Dec. 1 may find, too late, that gifts have hot reached their destination In time for Christmas,” Frank V. Richo, district manager of the Office of Defense Transportation, said today.
“Transportation facilities, retail and other connected services will be subjected to peak demands in the weeks just prior to thr holiday unless all of us recognize our mutual responsibility by purchasing and sending gifts this month,” he pointed out.
Free Flow Important Mr. Richo explained that a free
flow of goods through existing distribution facilities is a most important factor.
“ Additional equipment is not available to provide public transportation or shipping space for a last minute rush, which has been the usual pre-Christmas experience,” Mr. Richo warned. "The Christmas package loan on all delivery systems must be, distributed over a longer period hf time to avoid a breakdown of services.”
The ODT official declared that It waa also necessary to i “ slwp early and send early” to avoid jamming transit systems and disrupting the schedules of those engaged in essential ind'istriea.
“War-essential transportation needs must be met first,” he ^ - phaaized.
Egan Is Given Oath of Office
Bridgeport, Nov. 16.—(/Pi—John J. Egan, secretary-treasurer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, was given the oath of office as state labor commissioner today by James C. Shannon, counsel for the C. F. L..
Mr. Egan waa appointed on T ues^y by Governor Baldwin to j succeed Commissioner C. J. Dana- her, who resigned'last week.
The annual meeting o f the Manchester Republican Women’s Club yesterday ’a the Masonic Temple, was conducted by the president, Mrs. W. G. Crawford, in an entirely different manner from the usual routine It opened with the singing of "America” and other songs such as ’The" More We Get To-, gether the Happier We’ll Be.” The election evidently filled the minds of some' of the officers and some of the committees sw that they were not ready with their reports. Mrs. Crawford, however, naming each officer and committee chairman, praised the loyal support they had given her during the past year, and t’aeir willingness to do at all times whatever was asked of them. The preaident has not missed a single .meeting during the year except one, and then she waa doing jury duty.
Extend Term of Officer*As there will be no meeting in
December it was voted ’to extend the term of the present officers until the January meeting, at which time Mrs. Qcorge F. Borst, a past president of the club, waa invited to serve as chairman.
Mrs. Harold Reed of the program Committee introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. Marie Goss, director of women's activities of the State Salvage committee.

Steltlntus, actingforecast by pre-war and later developments. a home television receiver which projects a picture about 18 by 24 inches on a screen is being put through its final tests preliminary to the first formal demonstration. Described as “revolutionary in type,” it is being made ready as a peace time probability.
The work of RCA engineers, the new receiver has an image nearly six times larger than in pre-war sets that repi^uced one approximately 7% by 10 inches. In addition, the picture ia much sharper and brighter.
In piMe of a large tube 12- inches in diameter, with the image appearing <m the flat end, the set has a much smaller tube, about 2H inches, which, v/ith the accompanying optical system, permits projection and enlargement. A retractable screen and other apparatus all are housed in a suitable
- cabinet.The first showing of an-earlier
and similar type receiver, in a laboratory model, was made In 1941 shortly before Pearl Harbor. Work was delayed by war production, but enough time has been de-
' voted since its develooment to result In a number o f working models.
While these sUll are subject to change, engineers have Indicated they should be ready for a public demonstration within 90 days. They could give no indication when, the sets might be available otherwise, that depending on the war situation.

He added that transportation, construction, banking, communications and other tr^ e s ”miut contribute their share.
“It la important, therefore,' Sloan declared, "that we stimulate the eatabliahheot o f small enterprises not only in manufacturing, but in all other lines of activi^ .”

Social Security Tax Fight Now Looming
Rate W ill Go to Two Per Cent in January Unless Congress Acts On Freezing Plan.
By Jainea MarlowWashington, Nov.
You're Involved in the fight shaping up to fraeae the oocial security tax—if you’re one o f the 69 or 70 million workers or employers in commerce ‘ and Indn-jtry.
If you’re an employe, the tax on you Is 1 per cent o f your pay. If you’re an employer, the tax on you is 1 per cent of your payroll. This totals 2 per cent from both.
But each employe and employer In commerce and industry will have to start paying 2 per cent Jan. 1, 1945, tmles.: Congressfreezes the payment at the present' 1 per cent for eaqh another year.
Used tor Benefit Payment This tax goes into the social se
curity fund. Out of that fund the government makes its monthly social security benefit payments to;
Men and women over 65 who retire from work, based on their average monthly eaminga since the social security act became effective Jan. 1, 1937; to their wives
if 66 or over and to their''ohilldrai imder 16; to widows over 66; to widows under 65 if they have dependent children under 18 otiU going to school; and to the children and dependent parents.
The government started collecting the 1 per cent tax in 1937. It started paying out old age and survivors insurance benefits in 1940.
(Remember: This tar has nothing to do with unemployment taxr es.)
The 1 per cent tax was to luive contifflied through 1942, then rise to 2 per cent each on employer and employe Jan. 1, 1943; to 2 1-2 tper cent Jan. 1, 1946; and 8 per cent Jan. 1, 1949.
Frozen First in 1942But before the tax could take
its scheduled rise in 1942, Congress froze It St 1 per cent for another year, and re-frofe It again in 1943 and 1944.
If Congress doesn't freeze it for anothA- year, then the 2 per cent tax goes into effect Jan. 1, 1945.
The reason for the planned increase until the tax reached 3 per cent in 1949 was this:
To build up the social security fund iMcause by 1949 a lot more peoplewould be receiving old age and survivors Insurance than when benefits started in 1940. The
more money going out, the more was needed for the fund.
But Congress frOM tiie tax at 1 per cent three years in a row on tha grounds that the fund was building up fast enough due to the increased wartime employment which meant more tax money col-, lected. 1
' Bold to Sanw ArgumentThat’s still the argument of
congressmen anxious to freeze the tax another year.- The opposition congressmen say the increased tax. should go into effect because the fund needs to be built up more.
Last year about 67 million 'workers paid social security tax. So did about 2H million employers.
About 20 million people who are not protected by social security do not pay the tax. They are the agricultural and domestic workers, the self-employed, people working for non-profit or public organizations, and Federal, state and municipal employes.
On June 30, 1944 there was 60>* 446,000,000 in the fund. In the fiscal year ending last June 30 the fund took in 61.292,000,000. It paid out 6184,597,000 in benefita
If the tax is raised to ~2 per cent Jan. 1, 1945, the fund will tkke in about twice as much although paying out only about as much as in 'fiscal 1944.

Local Sport Chatter
The Red and White basketball- ers representing Manchester High are rapidly rounding into shape and with toe squad out down to the maximum limit, the daily drills are devoted almost entlreljl to contract work.
. The flrat three fives are all prac t'cally even in ability with all the boys set to fire away at the hoop before getting the ball. They sure can let them fly.
In basketball, a dribble Is the last resort. I f you can’t pass the ball or shoot, you dribble. The youngsters out for toe High five all dribble first then look up which is bad medicine.

Two casualties attend the practice periods, they being Bob Clif- foru and George Keith. The former broke his .arm playing football while the latter broke a finger last week. Both were potential first stringers.
New York, Nov, 16—They unveiled F e n ^ d o M en^elll o f the Argentine* liti "the Newark^ ^ g where Luis Angel Flrpo began his An.erlcan campaign and the following afternoon.undraped a huge mural in oils by James Montgomery Flagg, depicting toe cyclonic battle between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard.’ Both were great occasions for ringworma past and present. The Mighty Menichelli, as manager James J. Johnston nicknamed mm, proved a pleasant surprise, and toe Dempeey-Willard-Flagg ^ a lr in toe Old Manassa Man Mauleria joint on Broadway was accompanied by baked Florida grapefruit au rum, clear chicken gumbo and Maine lobster thermidor with waffle potatoes and salad, topped off by biscuit tortoni and coffee—all on toe cuff. It waa one of toe biggest days In recent history for toe P>ee Loaders’ Association, and toe members were duly appreciauve.
Menichelli may not be as spectacular as Flrpo, but he never let up until he dropped the French- (^nadlan, Laurient Bouchard, flat on hla face with a right to toe jaw wlto no more than 10 seconds remaining in the 10th and final round. Bouchard botmeed right up a.id hung on, but was a worn workman at ths finish. It was as lively a heavyweight encounter as you could hope to see.
Good TootBouchard, a rather accomplished
boxer for a big fellow, was a fair sort of tost for Menichelli in his American bow and first start In 11months.
The South American does not speak a word of English, was a bit nervous at toe outset and palpably too eager.
Menichelli, a 200-poundcr on the squat side Is remindful of Arturo Oodoy, but wades In and weaves rather than crouches.
There is a purpose to Menlchel- (i’s weave. He punches oiit of it, throwing a wicked left hook to the body, hooking and swinging his left to the head and punching overhand with his right. He obviously takes a punch well. In short, he is a good club fighter. He looks a bit older than the 27 he claims to be, but FIroo waa 31 and Paulino Uz- cudun 29 when they hit these shores.
HandsomeMenichelli differs from Flrpo in
that he is affable and loquacious where toe Wild Bull o f the Pampas was aloof and taciturn. Far from being a dead pan like Flrpo, Menichelli’s handsome face runs the gamut of all expressions. . He has what Flrpo never had—a smile. While no blond, he is light complexioned for a South American, fair of skin and blue-eyed.
Fifteen months after being Unveiled In Newark, Lula Angel Flrpo collected *04,000 for knocking out Jess Willard, next banked $l7f,00p for the thriller with Jack Dempeey and got *40,000 for los- 1< g to o r Har’ Wills on toe way out.
If Fernando Menichelli does half as well, he, too, will be able to eat Main lobster thermidor with A James Montgomery Flagg painting as a backdrop.

In 19.36, my flrat year as a pro- fes.sional, Lee Sheppard gave me two good shellackings.
'Two years later, after I ’d won 11 in a row, my manager, Charley Jones, remarked casually: “On July 4 you’re fighting a guy nqmed Leo Sheppard.”
1 felt pretty nervous while the referee was giving us instructions in Pittsburgh. It was here I’d taken my beatings from this fellow.
Sheppard socked me on toe snoot so hard 1 saw stars. Then I got mad and we cut loose. We threw so many punches that the crowd stood up and howled.
Sheppard seemed as strong as ever In the seventh, but when I clipped him with a left hook on the chin he straightened up. "My right had started and I let it go. The punch caught Sheppard on the Jaw and he hit the canvaa. ’

Washington, Nov. 16— UP) — A direct answer to the question Bf whether toe Army-Navy football game Dec. 2 will be moved from Annapolis to a big city stadium may be received today from Navy Secretary Forrestal.
The matter was up for a going- over at a new conference arranged for Forrestal this afternoon.
President Roosevelt said Tuesday that he planned to discuss the possibility of switching the game with War Secretary Stlmson. No official developments were report »d yesterday.
While Forrestal was not men tinned specifically In Mr. Roosevelt’s plans, nevertheless the Navy secretary la one of the officials having a big say-so on any shift sf the game.
The Navy department said last night that a change In the sites Is •still extremely doubtful’’ . , .
That the “ score still Is 0-0.”A definite decision apparently
must be made by Friday. Capt. C O. Humphreys, the Naval academy’s atoleUc director, said It would be physically Impossible to print and distribute tickets after Friday.
Teach Accident, No Casualties
Inglewood, Calif.—UP)—A spectacular riding accident at Hollywood Park yesterday left two riders badly shaken but otoerwl.se unhurt.
Pari-Maude, ridden by Evans Jenkins, waa caught In heavy traffic while rounding toe far turn In the third face and did a backward flip. Saucy Mllly, with Gene Pederson aboard, tripped over toe fallen horse.
Jenkins cancelled his remaining races, but Pederson fulfilled his.
After what happened to Notre Dame—and what didn’t ? —Pennsylvania also feared reprisal at toe hands of Army . . . Navy smacked Penn, 26-0, but West Point bad something more than that at which to shoot . . .The Quakers, then coached by George Munger and the staff still running tbe works on Franklin Field, dealt the Cadets their worst defeat in hlatory four years ago, 48-0 . . . . And. while they have collided only five times in all, toe young men from toe Hudson Highlands had not prevailed over the Red and Blue since the series opened iz 1001 . . . Army also has a score to settle with Navy, which haa copped the plums for five straight autumns, but the Future Generals aren’t adding up the ssore In advance on this one . . . The slimmest margin will be highly satisfactory, Dec. 2 . . . That goes both ways. Indicates how evenly they are matched, with power and speed to spare.. . . In addition to bis swiftness, smashing and kicking off. Doc Blanchard, Army’s plebe fullback, la a blocker from Blockersvllle . . . When the Dixie Express took out tha slx-foot- Mven Notre ' Dame tackle. Tree Adama on a Doug Kenna punt return, Vop Warner, the old play- mal((er, called It the hardest block he has seen In 50 years of football.
419 points In seven games, Li. "(ibl. Red Blalk’s triple-decked varsity Is outstripping Hurry Up Yost’s famous point-a-mlnute Michigan squads of toe early 7900’s . . . The last two periods of the Vlllanova massacre were cut to eight minutes . . . . In belting the other side completely out. Army is leaving Itself an open target for the future, but toe Cadets are not worrying about that now, and can’t miss being strong for some years to come . . Army’s soft schedule was not purposely arranged . . . Remember that all of the games were booked a year or two or more ago . . . . With the -war on, nobody knew just hbw strong any school, outside of the service academies, woul<l ba
iTiere Is nothing mysterious about Army or Navy . . . Both use standard stuff . . . It’s strictly a question o f personnel, better acquainted wlto toe Intricacies of toe T . . . Jim White, Notre Dame’s 208-pound AU-America tackle of 1943, walking into toe dressing room following the Army debacle, gave you the correct slant .on toe situation . . . "How we could have used you today," said co^ch Ed McKeever, shaking the big Irish youth’s hand . White, who has another year at Notre Dame, Is a member o f the Armed Guard in Brooklyn . .The cose of Jim White gives you a rough idea' of how fast college football will be when the war Is won . . . There are thousauids of kids just like him, coming back bigger and better than ever.

Sense and NonsenseThere is much more to life than
naldng a living. The fulleat and happlut life ii. not the result of economic security, as essential as thtM Bsay be. A man cannot live without bread, but it to tragic to Uve for bread alone. Men exist by means of things which they poetess; men Uve by the quality of their own character and tha adequacy of their own intereete. We need visions which wUl lift us out of life’s hum-drum and provide an outlook beyond our petty problems. . ”
Bogglo was waiting for me at the Newark airport and It was clear that something out ot the ordinary had happened. Anoong the wild thoughts that flashed through my mind was one concerning Ginger. Maybe he’d found out 'about us. Or maybe the federal authorities had caught up with him on Income tax evasion charges.
After he greeted me I imme- ‘ diately ruled Olnfer out. Walk
ing over to his big black car, the one that looked like a hearae, he slobbered over me. A chauffeur was at the wheel and Bogglo made me get In the back with him.
"Let’a go to your apartment.”I looked at him inquiringly.
He’d always preferred to have me coma over to his place, so 1 felt vaguely uneasy about Ginger a- gain. ., He sat down 4nd handed me the speaking tube. It was I

"Let’s go up stairs,'" said Bogglo, impatiently.
"Walt UU I get my desk key.”The desk clerk was surprised to
.see me back so soon. There was no maU and no mcasagea. and I left him in the middle at a sen-

However, convinced that Bogglo had undertaken to stand back of whatever he dld,'Rugg bad let hto feelings g ^ the upper hand prematurely. F A few days ago he’d shot Simms in cold blood, then he’d gone to Bogglo. Naturally the latter had come across wi.th the. promised cash but he’d atoo given Rugg hell. Didn’t he know better than to pull a job without preparing an out for himself?
Rugg had then called Bogglo a dirty double-croaser. He’d ahot Simms because he’d told him to, and if they caught , up with him he’d drag Bogglo In. A few houra later he’d been arrested and charged with the killing. HJ hadn't talked yet, but B o g ^ was certain he’d do so at the trijil. It was my job to save Rugg’s skin and at the same time Boggio’s.
