Singh Given Chance
To Get Even With
Ernie Dusek

Nanjo Singh, who has been around
Turner's Arena so long he often is
mistaken for an employe, will return
to the mat Thursday night to engage
Ernie Dusek in a match motivated
by desire for revenge.
Singh lost to the junior partner
in the Dusek firm several weeks ago
when Ernie crept out behind Ref
cree Casey Berger's ample girth and
ambushed him. To prove his good
faith in asking for chance to re-
deem himself Singh went out and
pinned Rudy Dusek last week and
now he wants Ernie.
Promoter Joe Turner had little
difficulty making the match, mas
much as he knows Dusek's manager
we'll, and often has exchanged pleas
antries with him. Added to this is
Ernie's desire to avenge Rudy's de-
feat and come to thing of it he might
as we'll avenge Emil Dusek's defeat,
which occurred q couple Of weeks

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16-En-
dorsement of the University of
Pittsburgh's new athletic policy
forbidding subsidization. of ath-
letes came today from an investi-
eating committee of seven trus-
tees which expressed regret over
resignation of DR.. John B. Suth-

The report was based on g.

fairs started when Sutherland
quit following an extended airing
of differences between him and
administrative heads over en-
phasis placed on football.
The report registered the belief
that the change in athletic policy

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-Un-
less history reverses itself. the Phil
adelphia Eagles will give the Red
skins plenty of headaches today, but
about the National Football League
race in general I'm convinced OF
one thing: The Giants are the team
to beat.
They say that Brooklyn is the
most improved team in the East
and that Philadelphia is talking
about its first championship, but I
say that the Giants are the best
balanced club in the league-East or
West. They not only have great
starting lineup, but are three deep
in every position, and no other team
can say that.
Giants Are Experienced.
What's more, that man power Is
all experienced, and when you realize
that Steve Owen didn't retain but
two of the rockies he tried out you
can understand that he was pretty
we'll satisfied to stand pat on a
combination which was good enough
to win the title.

The Danube
By Emil Leneyel. Ne,D
Random House.

1t may be that the inspiration for
this book has come in part from
Herr Emil LudWig's ma iestic Nile. "
Or it may be that it has come from
the current political situation in Eu-
rope in which all nations are turn
ing toward the southeast. However
that is, the book is one to be en-
joyed, 1t is a glorified Baedecker
OF the stream which it celebrates,
its towns, its scenery, its legends,
ghosts and miracles, its bordering
countries, their history and their
present. That so much picturesque
ness should belong to one piece of
geography seems somehow wasteful,
but there it is, and Mr.. Lengyel
writes Of it with real gusto.
He takes the Danube by its colors,
and, he says, none of these are blue.
The Danube of Germany and Aus
tria he calls brown; in Hungary
where the stream flows through
rural country for the most part, he
names it green. and of that part
which passes through Yugoslavia
and Rumanla he says that it can
only be called the Beautiful Red
Danube, since so much blood has
been shed beside it. He sees the
river as the gateway by which civil
lization and culture moved into Eu-
rope. In the Bronz Age, he says.

four neutrality enactments which
have been made since 1885. It then
discusses our experiences in the
three wars which have taken place
in this period-the Ethiopian War,
the war in Spain and the war in
China, In each case it shows how
the current neutrality legislation
worked. how it sometimes did not
make for neutral attitude at all,
but definitely favored one side at the
expense of the other.
Finally the authors discuss in turn
the devices which at various times
have been offered for keeping us out
of war. These are as follows The
arms embargo-get rid of it, they
say; the cash-and-carry plant
has not been tried, but may be
effective; the trade-at-your- own
risk plant could result In our
shipping being swept from the seas;
moral necessity or wis
dom of this is not clear; the system
Of keeping exports of war materials
down to peacetime levels-almost
impossible of application; the ban
on loans and credits to belligerents
would have to be very carefully
regulated; ban on collection of funds
and activities of foreign agents
also would have to be carefully reg
ulated, the ban on travel by Amer
leans on belligerent vessels and in
war zones-this should be allowed
at the individuals own risk but not
forbidden by law; presidential au-
lhorlty to define areas of combat
this. it is to be feared, might give
the Executive too great discretion;
general executive discretion-should
be subject to sensible and con-
structlve foreign policy; referendum
on War-as presented in the Ludlow
amendment this would allow war on
simple majority which is something
Congress would never do; hemi-
sphere solldarlty-Would increase
likelihood of involvement; our tradi-
tlonal neutrality based on our right
to the freedom of the seas under in
ternational law-it would require
the Army and Navy to enforce it.
Thus these authors sum up the
devices tried or advocated to date.
And. closing. they offer their own
opinion which is that the only sure
way for us to keep out of foreign
wars is for there to be no foreign
wars. With this knowledge in his
mind. reader ought to be able to
follow the congressional debate with
some detachment.

theatrically shown to be intense and
beautiful. The woman dreams of the
boy, the boy dreams of the woman.
Then there is the long, fantastic,
agonized search as the son struggles
to find path that will lead him to
her. The atmospheric quality of the
book is very strong and it depends
absolutely on the emotion between
the child and parent.
The actual solution of the story
is achieved by a series of coinci-
dences, either fagrantly obvious or
highly melodramatic. The mother is
smuggled out of the prison in a cof-
fin. the son receives her. carries her
in his arms through snow and dan

ditions shown by the author is re-

This Is a highly publicized novel
Of escape from a Nazi concentration
camp. Or, at least. that is what 1t
is ostensibly. Actually, it is fiction
ization of the mother complex, no
less, and. while some Of the books
great success may depend upon the
narrowing vividness of its presenta-
ton Of Nazi injustice and terror, the
reviewer will risk her credit on the
statement that more Of 1t comes
from the appeal which the mother
theme unfailingly has for large
numbers of the people. 1t is appar-
emily irresistible. and this book
plays 1t very heavily.
As arranged here, the ancient mo-
tif lies in the cropping, desperate ef-
forts of a son to locate and save
his mother who has disappeared in
the NAV of Nazi silent, menacing
officialdom. 1t is very cleverly done.
The reader is made privy to the
mothers fate-she has been con-
demned to death for alleged treason.
She is shown, on the one hand, as a
lovely innocent creature, an artist,
unable to understand what has over
taken her. On the other hand is the
son, who, unlike the reader, does not
know what has become of his parent,
but only that she has been arrested.

our strong will to keep out permits
us to start down this road and stop
when it looks as though We are
being involved in war. But when
We get to that point our will to stay
out is not only weakened, but our
angers and hates are aroused to
point where our will to stay out no
longer has any control
He reviews our experience in the
last war, reminding us that it was
barren of benefits to mankind and
full of losses to ourselves. He con-
cludes that the greatest service
which We can render the world is
ito join in economic cooperation
with other nations to relieve the
economic pressures which are driv.
ing the world constantly to instabil-
lty. A great part of these pressures
for war are economic. The greatest
healing force that could come to the
world is prosperity. There is a vast
field for American action which is
free from political entanglements.
We should resume the conferences
which We're started under such good
auspices by our country in 1882"
AS these words are being written
the neutrality debate in Congress is
still in process and for collateral
reading to understand that debate
the reviewer cannot imagine any
thing more helpful than the book
named above which has the Joint
authorship of Mr.. Dulles and Mr.
Armstrong. 1t is careful study of
our recent neutrality legislation,
with a background hastily sketched
in of our attitudes toward warning
nations in the past. For the most
part it is simply factual, simply con-
cerned with giving its readers in
formation. 1t has obviously been
written in haste and so does not
make a profound examination, but
1t does give the facts which are es-
sential to an understanding Of the
question now before us.
