Alabama Is 10 Get Twin Brothers of Don Hutson
 at Touchdown Time
By ED l.. CAMPBELL AP Feature Service

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Feb IT. - When it's touchdown time at 'Ba, ma, the Hutson twins will be on hand.
 Trained to wear big league boots like those so capably filled by All-America Brother Don of the Green Bay Packers, Rob and Ray waved aside host of attrac- tive invitations and took the Grim son Tide pledge. What was good enough for brother is good enough for them.
 The twins finish their sensa- tional high school careers here in June They'll show up at Tusca- looSa when the University Of Ala bama starts it's grid grind next fall.
 Meanwhile, they are busy help ing Pine Bluff campaign for a state high school basketball title. They have some further honors to com pete for in baseball, softball and swimming next spring and sum- mer
 Had Great Seasen
 Rated as Arkansas greatest twin combination in a decade, Rob and Ray led Pine Bluff to a state football championship last fall, then climaxed their prep pig skin records by copping major hcnors when Pine Bluff defeated Baton Rouge. La, at the Louisi- ana Sports Associations nation al championship game in Decem- Der.
 Rob, one inch shorter than his 5-ll twin, Ray, is the sparkplug of the pair. Happy -go-lucky, full of fire, he was a 60-minute quar- terback in most games last season He averaged better than six yards per try on scrimmage plays, did most of the expert passing and kicking.
 Quiet, soft-spoken Ray, running at right half, completed Robs passes, blocked. for him on ground plays and occasionally crossed up the opposition by passing, punt ing or running with the ball him. self. When the defense boxed one twin, the other did the damage. Each weighs around 160 and they can hardly be told apart by chance acquaintances.
 They're All Athletes
 Athletic ability is a family birthright. Papa Roy Hutson was . football star and professional baseball player in his youth. Brother Don helped Alabama to some of its greatest victories, in cluding the Rose Bowl triumph of 1885, and last fall copped or shared in just about all the professional honors that can go to an end.
 Rob made every Arkansas all- state high school team picked last season and was named on The Associated Press All Southern eleven. Ray made the All-South- ern in both 1888 and 1889.

Year in and day out it was the same old thing, the same old line of dinpled knees with splash of white showing between black stockings and lace panties. Even Broadway, it seems. can tire of dim pies. If the shoWmen had shown more showmanship, if they had tried something for themselves instead of wearing out an old bygone meth- cd of adolescent hip-dip, all those kids wouldn't be walking Broadway today. searching for jobs that aren't there. Beauty in panties no longer is enough. The red ink on the ledgers is proof of this.

GENEVA, Aug. 2.-The German
army of occupation in France has
ordered closing of the Swiss-French
border from Geneva to Basel, efIec-
tive Sunday.
Many observers viewed this as q
new indication that the Germans
are sealing all possible channels
through which news of preparations
for the invasion Of Britain might
reach the outside world.
Even the passage of farm workers
and farm owners with jobs or prop
erty in villages across the frontier
was banned.
German authorities in the from
tier region northwest of Geneva only
this morning told these workers and
farm owners who cross the from
tier in both directions to their
fields and jobs that they must de-
eide before Sunday on which side
of the frontier they plan to live
and work.
These people have been crossing
the border with few interruptions
since the start of the war.
On Sunday, said the Germans,
all frontier permits will be revoked.
Similar orders were given at other
frontier posts in the occupied re-
gions except on the Alsace frontier,
which has been sealed on the Ger
man side for weeks,

For Express Workers
By the Associated Press.

~ VIC ASsoCihlcu TTcsS
An emergency investigation board,
working to avert a threatened strike,
recommended to President Roosevelt
today a reduction from 48 to A
hours in the basic work-week of
$4,000 to 10000 employees OF the
Railway Express Agency.
The board, composed of John P.
Devaney. Dexter M. Keezer and
Harry A. Mills. was appointed by
the President July 10 under Railway
Labor Act provisions for trying to
settle labor disputes without strikes.
The employees, represented by the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steam
ship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Ex-
press and Station Employees, had
voted to strike for the 44-hour week.
Selection of the board preserved
the status quo for so days, 80 days
being allowed for the boards in
vestigation and report and an equal
period for the Presidents decision
on the boards report.
The board said that having
granted the Teamsters' Union q A.
hour week, the Express Agency had
"precipitated a problem which could
be solved only by extending the
same work week to a considerable
part Of the balance of its employees,
who in May, 1910, totaled about
43,t 10"
The board reported that it did not
find tina the shorter work week
should be extended to accounting
division and general ONCE employees.
Nor did 1t find that it should be
extended to trained messengers, be-
cause "they are q separate group
and their work Is of such a nature
that hours actually worked alc not
easily controlled"

Democrats 10 Revamu
Administration Of
National Committee
Chairman Flynn Will
Confer With ForIey
On Campaign Plans
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Reorganization OF the administra-
tive set-up of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee was expected in
political circles today to be started
when Edward j. Flynn takes over
the party craftsmanship August II.
Appointment of Mr.. Flynn, New
York national committeeman and
Bronx Democratic leader, to direct
the third-term campaign of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was announced yes
terday after White House confer
ence.
Mr.. Flynn hustled back to New
York, where on Monday he will
begin conferences with James A..
Farley, retiring national chairman,
regarding the kind of campaign to
be waged, with particular reference
to pivotal New York State. Central
headquarters will be maintained in
New York City.
Officers May Be Replaced.
Although Mr.. Flynn would not 60
beyond his formal statement pre-
dieting victory for the Roosevelt
Wallace ticket, there were reports
that L. w. Roberts, National Com
mittee secretary, and Oliver A.
Quayle, treasurer, might be replaced.
They were reelected after the Chi
cago convention.
Mr.. Farley, who is giving up the
craftsmanship to head the New York
Yankees and perhaps take another
private job on the side, would not
say when he intended to resign as
Postmaster General. The cabinet
place frequently goes to the Ma

was no indication that Mr.. Flynn
would get it, too.
Mr.. Roosevelt told a press con-
ference today that no date had been
selected for Mr.. Farley to leave the

the faintest idea about what the
campaign setup would be.

a post which he will retain, Mr..
Farley will be on hand to consult
with Mr.. Flynn even after he quits
the national political scene.
The new chairman long has been
q supporter of the President. Their
close association dates back to the
days when Mr. Roosevelt was Gov
ernor of New York and he named
Mr.. Flynn secretry of State. With
Mr.. Farley, the three of them
bucked Tammany Hall in local and
State political fights.
Byrnes Praises Flynn.
Senator Byrnes of South Carolina,
who refused to be considered for
the Craftsmanship because he suffers
from hay fever in the campaign
months. praised Mr.. Flynn's ap-
pointment.
"As national committeeman of
New York." Senator Byrnes said,
''he has established a wide acquaint-
ance throughout the country, and
with his knowledge of the problems
Of the various sections of the coun-
try I feel he will make most
efficient national chairman"
Frank G. Walker, New York busi-
nessman, who also was said to have
turned down the job, was being
talked Of as a possible new treasurer
OF the eommittee.a post he held in
1883.
Mr.. Flynn headed a National
Committee subcommittee of five
members who discussed the chair
manship with the President. his run
ming mate, Secretary Wallace, and

about 5000 feet and changed its
course Immediately when anti-air-
craft shells, apparently warning
shots, burst about it.
The plane was a small biplane,
and although no oficial statement
was available it apparently was a
German plane which had strayed
from the course prescribed for flying
over Berlin.
