Want National Defense.
The mothers are organized to keep
out Of war. They want national
defense, but are against sending men
and materials abroad.
Mrs. Farber made this statement
about the purposes Of organization:
I'VE are not opposed to military
training as such, but we are opposed
to the Burke -Wadsworth bill. We
want q set-up under the Army in
opposed to giving military power to
civilians. We want Congress to re-
tain the power to call out the militia.
This is another grant Of constitu-
tional power to one man, the
President"

When the Detroit members de-

said. they sent out $500 letters 10

suit that Mrs. Decker didn't know
many of the women here. The
Detroit group came in a chartered

to protest lifting of the embargo.
Then she came back with the De-
troit Mothers to protest conscrip-
ton in May. She, too, said she was
paying her own way.

what she was protesting, Mrs. Bru-
baker recited from what she called

She said she couldn't remember it

her interest in the state of the
Nation started during the depres-
sion, when money was scarce and
she found she got more reading
material by buying the Congress
sional Record than by buying maga-
zines. Then she started sending for
the bills the members Of Congress
referred to in their speeches.
"Going From Bad to Worse"
Things seemed to be going from
bad to worse" she said. Each bill
passed seemed to be a piece fitting
into the puzzle"
Asked what the puzzle was, she
said, why the buildup of this war,
of course. The plans were made
many years before Hitler came into
power. Representative Shafer OF
Michigan calls it the industrial
mobilization plan. The administra-
ton is behind it. Why it even
started before the World War, to
have one world government, to de-
stroy individual governments"
When it was pointed out that she
had said the administration had
started it. she replied, We'll, the
advisers to this administration. The
advisers never change" ->@7
1t came to a point, said Mrs.
Decker, when somebody had to take
the leadership and, though she had
never had any experience along this
line, she decided to undertake it.
Sees Hitler No Threat.
Asked if she would favor appease-
ment, Mrs. Decker replied:
I'm not in favor of appeasing
anybody, but Hitler has never
threatened us. I believe we should
cross that bridge when we come to
it. And that's so far off that it's
not anything to worry about. don't
think there's any danger Of that
for the next 25 years. You can't
tell me Hitler is that good"
Besides" she added, "as long as
we have an adequate national de-
fense we have nothing to worry
about"
Asked If she thought there were
now enough trained men to defend
the country against invasion, she
replied, IF they want more men why
are they sending the National Guard
army out of the country? Why not
keep them here? They're trained
men,"
If Congress would specify home
defense in the conscription bill, she
said, there would be a lineup at
the recruiting office"
Il don't blame any boy for not
enlisting," she declared, when he
doesn't know whether he's going to

Bv FELIX r. MCKNIGHT

COLLEGE STATION, Tex.
Nov. I2.-POise. > valuable little
trinket around a football team,
has teamed with brutal power
and passing finesSe to make the
marauding Texas Aggies one of
the great clubs of Southwest his
tory.
Winner of eighteen straight
games-including a Sugar Bowl
triumph over Tulane-the Aggles.
a natural target for an underdOg
looking for fame, have called on
poise as much as their illustriOus
Jarrin' John Kimbrough, All
America fullback, this season.
Saturday after Saturday the
Aggies run into inspired football
teams. These Southwest teams
are rugged enough without going
cut and getting all inspired over
one game. The going has been
rocky for the Aggies many times.
Take the Baylor game Without
its great fullback. Jack Wilson,
Baylor stormed out and gave
A. and NJ. the works. It's line
played a classical game; its backs
dug just a little harder Then. late
in the game the Baylors opened
up with a violent passing spree.
Poise Over Fire
The Aggies, a senior team with
three years experience, quietly
went to work, not sign of panic
evident. They choked Baylor
with pure poise, finally had them
the nervous ones. The Aggies
came through, AT.
Little publicized. but the back
bone of the Cadet team, is a stout
line. Through the first six games
this wall had permitted only 201
yards by rushing. Marshall Foch
Robnett. urly-thatched, 205
pound guard and the best line
man in the Southwest, is the
leader of the rOwdy seven.
Behind it operates the best all
around offense in the Southwest.
Dark. quiet Marion Pugh. the
quarterback. is also one of the ma
tion's best forward pasSers. And
the Aggies are passing plenty this
season. The man Pugh has led an
aerial spree that has accounted
for TAI wards on 54 compilations
out of 104 attempts. Many Cadet
touchdowns have been born of
this aerial warfare.
Pugh has gathered more than
$50 yards by his running and
passing to top the team When he
tires of throwing there is a lad
named Marland Jeffrey who can
throw strikes with any of them
just a shade behind Pugh.
Kimbrough Is-Kimbrough
Kimbrough? Perhaps not as
sensational as last year, but def
nitely as good. John Kimbrough
is a team player, the most valu-
able fullback the sector has ever
known He rips off his three or
four yards with consistency, has
made several stunning runbacks
with intercepted passes from 25 to
go yards, is a great blocker and
line-backer. Such a marked man.
Kimbrough has been relieved of
some running duties in lieu of
Pugh. Derace Moser and Wild
Bill Conatser, fleet tackle blast
ers.
The balance of the team CEN
tiers around blond, rugged, good
natured Jim ThomaSon, whom
Southwest Conference coaches
bluntly describe as 1.-The finest
combination blocker and line
backer in Southwest conference
history.
Only this season did they let
