The Colonials are shaping up we'll
for the game, getting back in stride
after a gloomy start. The squad ap-

yesterday showed signs of snarr'rg
out of its lethargy and should be
humming Saturday. Tom Grady,
whose latent ball-carrying ability
is just beginning to make diff
ference in the attack, has been
hustling in practice and undoubt-
edly will be called on for heavy
duty. His ability to run inside as
well as around the ends doubles
his offensive value, and reports

Unpleasant Time Likely
At Army-Novy Game
By JOHN LARDNER,

special CORRESPONDENT OF Inc 0ldI.
NEW YORK, Nov. % (NANA).
"A pretty convincing case could be
made out for Army and Navy as
the two worst football teams in the
East, of so-called major caliber. Yet
100000 people, give or take a Con-
gresham, will shoulder their way
into the big Municipal (nee Sesqui-
centenniaD Stadium in Philadelphia
this Saturday to watch the two
crippled arms of the service in
battle.
Can you name q major team any
where in the country which would
be sure of losing to either Army or
Navy? Chicago? No dice That's
not major team. Stanford? May
be- Rice? I doubt it.
Even Chicago, which marched to
the 5-yard line against Illinois and
then lost her road map, probably
could score on Army. Everybody
else has. Navy is tighter on de-
fense, but I doubt if the Gobs
could whip the Stanford team, which
once, in a moment of absent-mind-
ednesS, tied U. G. L. A.
AS for Rice, though this team
has been thoroughly whaled by al
most every one she met, she does
possess certain amount of stubborn
Southwestern class. I would bet
her to beat both the Tars and the
Cadets, possibly at the same time.

Come UsuoIIy Is Dull
When Teoms Are Good

What other candidates have you?
AS sporting proposition, this de-
partment will give two tickets just
outside the stadium to any one who
can supply worse major team
than Army or Navy.
Without prejudice against either
service, we further submit that the
game usually is dull one, whether
the teams are strong or not. Oc-
casionally Army produces a colorful
runner or passer like eagle or Monk
Meyer, and Navy counters with a
Schmidt or a Berries, but the gen.
eral rule is stolidity. The general
weather rule is cold, rain, snow or
all three simultaneously. We still
are trying to reason those 100000
people out of that stadium, but we
don't seem to be getting anywhere.
This puts us in the same class with
Army and Navy.
Of course. they have those pa
rades, but cynical fellows have been
heard to state that, when you've
seen one parade, you've seen 'em
all. Navy puts on a show with
cards between the halves, but there
are better shows with cards at any

Congressman Bother
Average Spectator

Besides, to see the Navy card
game, the people on the Navy side
Of the field have got to leave their
seats and 60 out on the gridiron,
because the thing strictly is a
frontal exhibition.
Returning to the grandstand, we
find that the average spectator al
ways is annoyed by the Congressman
and the Federal people, and the
Federal people are always annoyed
by the cadets and the middies. This
is traditional.
Having no ivy, technically speak
ing, Army and Navy have Congress-
men instead. These public servants
are festooned all over the arena,
clutching their passes tightly in
their dimpled hands and cussing the
Government roundly for failing to
get them better seats.
Back in the Hoover administra-
ton, the Republicans had better
seats than the Democrats. The
Democrats believed this to be a
political plot, and it may have been
so. Today, however, in Demo-
cratic administration, a poll shows
us that ordinary spectators are
kicked, scuffed and blinded by
Democrats and Republicans in equal
numbers.

Nobody Appears Happy
At Bio Bottle

This is a great tribute to the i'm
partiality of the present Govern
ment. Also, the poll shows us that
the Congressman and Federal peo-
pie are getting bigger all the time.
Now it is impossible to see around
them, whereas the comparative mid
gets of the Hoover and Coolidge
regimes never could completely shut
off your view, though they tried like
blaZes.
It will come as a shock to the
ordinary spectator to learn that the
Federal people have exactly the
same trouble as he has. They aren't
happy at the Army-Navy game,
either. Why? Because the cadets
and the middies get in their way.
For two years now, discontented
elements in Congress have been de-
manding snaller soldiers and sailors,
sTGIc anes We nave today are big
and wide and durable. They stand
on the backs of their seats all the
time. What Congress wants is
pint size cadet and a vest-pocket
midshipman. Otherwise, what good
are those Government passes?
I merely have sketched for you
some Of the principal drawbacks OF
the Army-Navy game, which will
be played this year between the two
worst teams in the East.

Bloody Struggle Seen
By McNutt i j. :.
Quits Philippines
Must Not Lower Flag If
Voice in Far Eust Is
Desired, He Says
By the Associated Press.

Sy tHc AScOClhtcu GIcSS
SHANGHAI, June 5.-If the
United States wishes to retain its
voice in the Far East, Paul v. Nc
Mutt, high commissioner for the
Philippines, declared today, the
American flag must not come down
in the Philippines.
Addressing a luncheon of the
Shanghai American University Club,
en- route with Mrs McNutt for a
visit to the United States, the high
commissioner said:
Complete independence for the
Philippines now probably would
mean servitude.
They are unable to stand alone
amidst the violent forces now loosed
in the Far East. If the United
States flag descends the result will
be a bloody struggle for control ="
1--WE have given them political in
dependence but economic depend
ence. They should not be aban-
doned now.
Under the Tydings- -McDuffie Act,
providing a permanent constitution
and regulation of interim relations
between the commonwealth of the
Philippines and the United States,
the Island will achieve full SOW
ereignty November IS, 1945.
McNutt said he believed Philip
pine leaders were agreed that com
plete independence is not possible
under present Far East conditions
and have altered their position &C
cordingly."

many cases, the work has reached
such a stage that the laborers are
not needed badly. And as for the
claim there being IA projects in
which contractors have made settle
ments and which are going ahead
with building laborers on the Job
well, l don't know of that many. and
doubt the accuracy of the state
ment."
Six locals of the Carpenters Dis
trict Council have threatened a
strike on June IL if their demands
for increased wages and shorter
hours are not met About 1000
men would be involved, council
official said today.
The buildings laborers are asking
that their present pay rate of 70
cents an hour for all workers be
increased to 80 cents an hour for
unskilled laborers and to 95 cents
an hour for skilled workmen.
John Locher, secretary of the
Washington Building and Trades
Council, explained that members OF
other unions were going through
the Building Laborers' picket lines
because of agreements the individual
unions have not to 60 on strike un-
less such action is called for by the
council.
Should there be any attempt at
strike breaking by employment OF
non-union labor Mr.. Locher de-
clared, "all the unions would be
called out at once. There has been
no indication that the contractors
intend to bring in non-union men
though"
Conferences between representa-
tives Of the strikers and the con-
tractors probably will be held in the
next few days in an effort to arbi-
trate their differences, according to
Howard T. Colvin, Labor Depart
ment conciliator. An all-afternoon
conference was held last week, but
no agreement was reached.
The strike extended to Alexan-
dria, Va. where it was reported that
% laborers had walked out at the
Chesapeake e. Potomac Telephone
Co. building. Union officials said
that workers on buildings at Fort
Belvoir, Va, had joined in the strike
At College Park, Md, Public
Works Administration officials said
that 18l laborers walked out on

other employees from going on their

the Vlgilant was sent down and he
had great difficulty in working.
At II: 40 pm. an attempt was made
still higher above the water.
An attempt to cut hole in the
stern in it's then position would have
involved a risk of flooding which
was quite unjustifable.
This attempt to raise the stern was
unsuccessful, the wires having
parted.
1t was then decided that no fur
ther attempt should be made until
the 6 pm. slack tide.
On receipt of the report of a doc
tor who attended the survivors that
their condition was grave from car
bon -monoXide poisoning, further
attempt to raise the stern during
slack water was made, but this was
again unsuccessful as the stern OF
the vessel was becoming less buoyant.
No further escapes had been made
by the Davis escape apparatus, but
it was believed that three men were
killed trying to escape and that they
were drawn into submarine.
Until further investigation of de-
tails it was impossible to make any
reliable conjecture.
Wire Put Around Sub.
Shortly before low water at 7:15
m. presumably Saturday, a wire
was placed around the submarine
and camel was placed in position.
But the wire slipped the wrong
the indicator buoy.
The submarine was relocated at
approximately IL pm.
BY this time deep divers from
Metal Industries, Ltd, and from
Scapa Flow had arrived to assist
the Liverpool divers and diving op-
erations were again carried out.
In view of the report by a diver
that he thought he had heard
tapping inside the submarine ef-
forts were made to try to pump air
into a compartment, but it was
found that this operation could not
be undertaken in time to save the
lives and the attempt was aban-
| doned
1t was now clear that any further
possibility of saving lives must be
abandoned, and the task of salvaging
the vessel was proceeded with.
In view of the magnitude of the
disaster it is proposed that full
public inquiry shall be held.
Tn tho mao rtiypo tho ,1c,o1 youo1
inquiry will take place forthwith in
order to elucidate the full facts as
at present known.
The report of the naval inquiry
and the evidence given will be made
available at a public inquiry which
will be held as soon as the submarine
has been salvaged.
Pensions for Survivors.
Widows and other eligible de-
pendents will receive pensions and
gratuities according to the regula-
tions applicable to those who have
lost their lives in the service.
| 1t is understood that Messrs. Cam
nell Laird will make provision so
far as their personnel is concerned
The house will also have noted
that the Lord Mayor of London,
acting, am sure, with the feelings
of the country, has announced that
he is starting a fund for public
subscription for the benefit of de-
pendents.
In conclusion I wish to express
on behalf of the government, and I
am sure the whole house will desire
to be associated, our profound sorrow
at the loss of so many valuable lives,
and our deep sympathy with the
relatives who have been bereaved.
