Washington's Presidents - this
city's entry in the Dixie Profes-
Sional Football League-today re-
main at the top of the heap in the
race for 1887 honors.
The Presidents yesterday de-
fated the Celtics, of Alexandria.
9 to 7, in Griffith Stadium, Wallis
Benner, former University of Mary
land star, furnishing the impetus
which sent the Presidents to the
front. 4
A small crowd, which contrib
uted only $500 to the cause of
charity, witnessed thrilling game.
Benner accounted for all Wash
1ngton's points. He started the
Presidents off right in the first
period when he kicked a field goal
from placement from the 21-yard
line. Then, after the Celtics had
taken 7-3 lead, he almost single
handedly tore the Celtics wide
open. First, he intercepted a for
ward pass and ran from his own
25 to midfield. Next, he figured
in two lateral pass plays which
gained 8. Then he raced IA yards
to put the ball at the Celtic 10.
After Oliver took the ball to the
1-yard line Benner scored.
The Celtice touchdown came
early in the third period, when
Bomba plunged over from the l.
yard line.

working on the county fair grounds
Thursday afternoon, Glen Ball, 48,

their two Merry Go- RounG books.
 In like manner in 1886, after cov- ering the tours of both Roosevelt and Landon and making an inde- pendent survey of political senti- ment in the country, Allen flatly predicted the Roosevelt landslide. Today this seems obvious, but at the time the prediction was made al- most all Washington correspondents were hedging.
 Just before the election Allen wired to papers who requested it a prediction that Roosevelt would carry all but three states. He was wrong about New Hampshire.
 During Roosevelt's two terms Robert s. Alien has accompanied him on everyone of his countrywide journeys. His analysis of political sentiment and "straws in the wind" observed during. these trips has been just about 100 per cent right.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-23

The French life line goes north and south-from Morocco and Al- geria to France. In case of war France must rely on her great African empire as granary and source of man-power for her arm- ies; it is estimated that 8 million cclored soldiers could be drawn to France over this route in case of need. . t-.
 An Italy that could shut off this life line would seem to 8 French man a direct threat to Frances security.
 Blum Changed That
 Two years ago, the then premier of France, Pierre Laval, tried to protect French interests in the Mediterranean by playing ball with Mussolini. He kept on good terms with London by agreeing to the British demand for sanctions against Italy in the Ethiopian war: but he remained in Mussolini's good graces, it was said, by @yhis- pering privately that France would never press sanctions very hard.
 His successor, Leon Blum, chang ed all of that. He looked on Britain as Frances best friend in all o! Europe, and he saw their interests ill the Mediterranean as parallel Both want the sea kept opens a free highway; both, furthermore have been alarmed by developments growing out of the Spanish civil war. So both Paris and London have been cooperating closely dur ing the recent submarine crisis.
 The French position is easy to
