The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-21
BY RICHARD MCCAIN NEA Service Shorts Writer


 You might consider this a good reason for roofing for West Point when the Army-Navy game blazes across the gridiron stage. -.
 After the Harvards and the Nays had huffed and puffed to 8 scoreless tie, a Boston reporter muscled his way down to the bowels of the sta dium in search of post-mortems from the coaches and the players.
 The Harvards spoke freely. . [. we thought we could win. Navy was tough they couldn't be budged but neither could we :. |. good game, huh?"
 The reporter stuffed his notes in his pocket, hurried over to the Navy dressing room. The door was barred And guarded. And he was told to shove off.
 Someone Said We've Met the Enemy
 But he tarried. Soon Commander "A. c. McFall, graduate manager of athletics at Annapolis, happened along. Please, Commander, say something. ...
 "The Navy" boomed the Com mander, never makes statement" ."
 But were there any injuries?"
 "The Navy" said the Commander, and suddenly the air was as cold as Q shrimp bowl, never knows about injuries"
 Just then Head Coach Hank Hardwick came down the gang plank.
 Hank" said the Commander, and you knew he wasn't asking ques- tion, you never make a statement to the newspapers, do you?"
 "No," said Hardwick, "the Navy never makes statement"
 So the history books are wrong. It must've been a marine who said, we have met the enemy and they are ours," and Don't give up the ship. boys"
 FIOwery Fanfare From Football

 There was time when a half back used to be called speedy, and g team was said to be powerful, and you scored @ touchdown you got three cheers-and maybe Tigah.
 But, shuffling through the blurbs which fiutter from the never silent Imimeograph machines of the col 1ege press agents, you learn that the Old.time speedy halfback is ubiqui- tous these days, and Tim Cohane of Fordham reports that the powerful Pittsburgh Partners are now the puisSant (why, TimO Pitt Panthers, and Frank Hickey of St. Benedict's in Atchison, Kan., allows as how the Benedictines returned home to "the tumult and the shouting of the throng."
 And listen to this belch from J. Willard Ridings at Texas Christian university:

The chief executive coupled his
plea for action at this session on
the conservation measure with an
appeal for expedition of his pro-
posed government reorganization
program which is badly snagged
in congressional committees. The
reorganization bill carries the pro-
posal for establishment of ma

time if we would preserve for our,

life," he said.
Planned conservation of natur-
al resources, he insisted, is in the
interest of economy. Further
| more, the message said, the water
power resources of the nation
"must be protected from private
monopoly and used to benefit the
people"
To achieve this objective, Mr..
Roosevelt proposed: =.
/. Seven regional authorities
charged with the duty of develop
ing integrated plans to conserve
and sa. eguard the prudent use OF
waters, water power, soils, forests
and other resources of the areas
entrusted to their charge.
2. Establishment of a national
planning board which he preVl-
ously had proposed.
3. Maintenance of the Tennes-
see Valley Authority, the pro-
posed Columbia Valley Authority
and the Mississippi River Commls-
sion.
4. Federal, state and local CO.
ordination of effort.
5. Effective administration OF
hydro-elecrtic projects which may
have been or may be undertaken
as a part of the multiple purposes
of the vast program.
He proposed that regional au-
thorities be set up first on the
Atlantic seaboard; one for the
Great Lakes and Ohio valley; one
for the drainage basin of the Ten
nessee and Cumberland rivers;
one embracing the drainage ba-
sins of the Missouri and Red liv-
ers: one embracing the drainage
basins of the Arkansas, Red and
Rio Grande rivers; one for the
basins of the Colorado river and
rivers flowing into the Pacific
south of the California and Ore
gon line. and one for the CO.
lumbia river basin.
Under the presidents plan the
regional authorities would submit
their plans to the National Plan
ming Commission for coordination.
The commission would report to
the chief executive who would in
turn make recommendations to
congress on the basis of bulge
tary considerations. The president
emphasized in his message that
the planning commission would
not have executive authority over
the construction of public works
or over management of the COM
pleted works.
In effect what the president pro-
posed is: That congress and the
government drop its costly, hap
hazard custom of pouring millions
of dollars annually into isolated
communities for flood control,
drouths and other ravages of ma

Bilbao, now invested from the
mountains and the sea.
Jose Antonio Aguirre, president
of the semi-autonomous Basque
government, as soon as he learn
ed of Mola's death, went INTO the
loyalist lines and ordered vio-
lent attack all along the Basque
front in an effort to drive the
rebels back from the Iron ring"
of defenses surrounding Bilbao.
Mola's body. removed from the
wreckage of the plane by insur-
gent soldiers, was taken to Burgos
where it will lie in state, in the
cavalry barracks.
The general who was born in
Cuba in 1887 and came to Spain
at the age of 16 to enter the
Spanish "West Point" at Toledo,
was made a member of the Bur-
gos provisional government last
July %.
1t was reported that Mola was
flying to a conference with Gen.
eral Franco at which they were
to map plans for the death blow"
against Bilbao.
Along the Basque front the fog
was so dense that both loyalist
and rebel fighting planes were
grounded, but Mola insisted on
the flight to Valladolid.
General Schalgas, who probably
will succeed Mola, is commander
of the southern insurgent column
advancing upon Bilbao through
the Nervion valley from the
Heights of Orduna to the south.
Mola was man of strong per-
sonality, a hero of Spanish col
onial campaigns in Africa and a
student of Spanish history and
military tactics.
When Primo de Rivela's dicta-
torship ended in 1880 and King
Alfonso XIII called on General
Damasco Berenguer to form a
new government, Mola was lifted
from his position as commander of
the Spanish forces in Morocco and
made director general of police.
He unearthed many Republican
revolutionary plots and the Re-
publicans, when they acquired
control of the government in
1881, promptly arrested him.
He was tried and, although ac-
quilted, was placed ON the mill
tary reserve list.
In retirement, he devoted most
of his time to writing but in Aug
ust, 1885, Minister Of War Gil
Robes restored him as comman-
der in Morocco. The following
February he was transferred to a
less important military post at
Pomplona, Spain.
He was in Pomplano last July
IT when Frances revolution
broke, and rejected an offer of a
high military post in the loyalist
armies.
He cast his lot with Franco,
taking command of the northern
forces while Franco fought his
way upon Madrid from the south.
