Durham, Oct. 24.--The football
world knows about the defensive
strength Of Duke University grid
outfits Of the past few years, the
famous "Iron Dukes" in particular,
but Saturday against Wake Forests
hard-running Demon DeaconS TIL
Blue Devils may go into the game
depending more on their offense.
It comes from no desire on the part
of the coaches but because CT ne
cessity. Dukes present eleven hasn't
yet shown the defensive skill of the
past several aggregations. V. M. l.,
Tennessee and Colgate have been
able to roll up just about as much
yardage through the Blue Devils as
they have been able to make them
selves.
And during practices this week,
while a goodly portion OF the time
has been spent in attempting to lay
down a defense for the DeacOns, the
offense has also been worked on
quite a bit and evidently the coaches
figure Wake Forest is sure to gain
ground on Duke so the best thing
they can do is to try to get the Blue
Devils ready to gain ground too.
Building a defense for Wake For

est, the coaches find, is a terrific
task. If they pull in their line to stop
Jolting John Polanslli, the blowing
rullback, they will leave the roads
open for Galloping Tony GallOVich
the Deacon speed-merchant, to skirt
the ends.
That works two ways. If they get
ready for Gallovich, then Polanski
is likely to run them right out of the
stadium.
Wake Forests present team is the
most dangerous Duke has faced since
1926 when the Deacons won their
last game. The past two Wake For
est outfits fought terrific battles be-
fore losing by the narrow margins OF
.7-9 and 60 and there are a lot of
boys at Wake Forest who played on
those two clevens. The Deacons out
PLAYED the Blue Devils in losing
last years game.
So Saturday at Wake Forest it may
be Dukes Davis, McAfec, Storer and
Lach VS. Wake Forests Gallovich,
Polanski, Mayberry and Pruitt and
those close to the Duke situation
would not be at all surprised il the
Deacons will celebrate another big
victory Saturday night.

By the Associated Press.


DETROIT, June 19.-Henry Ford

Asked about an announcement
from London yesterday that the
British government had contracted
with his company for 5000 Rolls

I'VE are not doing business with
the British government or any other
government. If we make 5000

Senate Unit Reports
Defense Measure
Bill Brings Total
For Army and Navy
To Five Billions
Bv 7. A. OT.EARY.

A S1,777 ,489,768 supplemental de-
fense appropriation bill was report
ed favorably today oy the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee. The meas
ure totaled s71 100000 more than
when passed by the House. This
net increase resulted when the Sem
ate added sl06,435 $50 in actual
cash. but reduced the amount of
contract authoriEat tions approved by
the House.
This brings to more than $5,O00,-
100000 the total this session of Con-
gress has obligated for the Army
and Navy since the tide of the Euro
pean war began to go against the
democracies.
High lights of the bill are boost
in the Regular Army from the pre-
viously authorized total of 100000
to 375,000 men, and a speed-up of
naval expansion. The measure car
ries initial appropriations to start
68 more war vessels, bringing up to
160 the number that will be under
construction, OF all types.
One of the amendments added by
the Senate committee today pro-
vides $l,500,0OO for increased facili-
ties at Indianhead, Md, for storage
of powder.
The biggest Senate increase is
s43 100000 for purchase of airplane
engines. Following is a breakdown
of the total in the bill, for the sew
eral branches of service. including
contract authorizations as we'll as
cash:
War Department, $1,075 ,178. .8O8:
Navy, $588, 8,233,l70; civil functions
connected with defense, $114.O77.81O.
For training cadets in the Naval
Reserve, the Senate bill adds ST.
100000.
Two large items were changed
from contract authorizat tfons in the
House bill to actual cash in the
Senate bill. One was $4,000 900 for
alteration of naval vessels, the
other was s25,00O,OOO emergency
fund.
To expedite the construction of
public works and utility projects for
the Navy, the Department is au-
thorized by Senate amendment to
raise or lower the limit of cost on
any specific project by 10 per cent,
provided the total of all authorize
tions is not changed by more than
that percentage.

the new accord.
The military blockade of both the
British and French concessions at

An important step toward attain
ment OF adequate air defense pro-
duction has been taken with the
awarding to Henry Ford of British
American contracts for a total of
5000 airplane engines, to be built
by line production methods within
eight months, it was announced to-
day.
The Federal Government has
negotiated a S43 500 900 contract
with the Ford Motor Co. to build
5000 engines and it was announced
in London, according to the As
sociated Press. that Great Britain
also has placed an order for 5000
engines with Ford. giving a volume
necessary for mass production.
The United States contract was
negotiated even before Congress had
voted the funds to finance the step.
The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee today added SAB 100000 for pur-
cnases of 5000 Rolls Royce engines
from Mr.. Ford to an emergency de-
fense appropriation measure already
approved by the House.
Engineers Study Models.
Contracts for the airplanes in
which the engines are to be used
are understood to be in process OF
negotiation. Mr.. Ford and engineers
of his company are studying models
of new Army pursuit airplanes with
a view to undertaking mass tpro-
duction of these or similar types.
It also was reported that negotia-
ton of contracts for additional air
craft engines to power United States
Army and Navy warplanes has been
completed or nearly completed with
the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Divi-
sion, United Aircraft Corp, East
Hartford, Conn: the Wright Aero

tracts are pending in the emergency

Co. will be modified models of the

redesigned for mass production.
This is the engine Mr. Ford is un-
derstood to have had in mind when
he announced that his company
could build 1000 aiarplanes a day,
reaching full production within six
months
Engineers in the British Ford
plant at Dagenham, Essex, England,
have been at work for several
months, it is understood, redesign-
ing the Rolls Royce Merlin with a
view to mass production. Although
a standard type of British aircraft
engine, the Merlin has been pro-
duced at the expense of great deal
of skilled hand work, which made
it unfit in its original form for mass
production methods.
AS a result of the preliminary work
already completed by Ford engi-
neers, the problems surrounding the
production of the Merlin engine
"have been simplified by at least so
per cent" the Associated Press
quoted Ford sources at Detroit.

More activity also is predicted in
such fields as promoting tourist

In contrast with spectacular ideas

giving serious consideration to a
number of smaller proposals.
One is finishing the Pan-Amer-
lean highway from Mexico City to

regarded as possibly important

Another is the intensive develop
