GAINESVILLE. Fla. Oct 10
MaJyland's hopes of swatting Florida
for its first victory of the year rose
perceptibly today with the rumor
that three Gator regulars will wit
ness the game from the sideGnes
because of injuries.
Jack Faber, Terp coach, refused
to believe the news until he saw
Florida's starting lineup. but re-
sponsible home officials said Charley
Tate, fullback; Frank Smoal, end,
and Hubert Houston, quarterback,
definitely would not play. Their
loss is terrific blow to the Gators
and elevates Maryland into the role
of favorite.
The Terrapins will start the same

Buddy Myer has announced his
candidacy for the position, while
others considered in the running

DECEPTIVE ACTS

Sears, Roebuck G. Co., Chicago, has
been served by the Federal Trade
Commission with complaint alleg-
ing unfair and deceptive acts and prac-
tees in the sale of automobile tires
and tubes.
The complaint alleges that in con-
Quoting nationwide tire sales through
it's retail stores, the respondent COM
pany misrepresented that its tires and
tubes were being sold at various pur-
ported discounts and savings from the
regular and usual prices.
1t is alleged that the respondent
advertised its CRUSADER" tires as be-
ing sold at saving or discount of
80 to 35 percent when in fact such
purported savings were exaggerated
because not computed on the regular
list price in effect at the time of the
advertisements. Based upon the reg

prices allegedly would have provided
for percentage savings ranging from
9.45 percent to 1913 percent rather

YOUTH LOOKS
ahead TO The
WORLD OF 1885
By SCOTT NEARING
Federated Press)

Delegates to the American Youth
Congress, which recently held a spec
tacular session in Washington, have
about As years ahead of them. They
we're born around 1920. They should
live to around 1885. Octegenarians
among them will see A. d. 2001.
What kind of a world will these
young people live in?
Quite obviously it will not be the
world of Chamberlain, Daladier and
Roosevelt That world, which spent
SO, SO0,O0O,O 900 on military preparations
in 1882, ,600,00O,000 in 1885, and
plunged itself into a new orgy of
slaughter and destruction in Septem-
Der 1882 is destroying itself as rapid
ly as human ingenuity and skill,
equipped with machinery and powered
by steam, gas and electricity, can ac-
complish that result.
Men and women in their middle fiji
ties or early sixties may perhaps be
justified in standing by the present
social order and dying with it, espe-
cially if they enjoy more than their
share of its good things. But no boy
or girl in the late tesns or early TWEEN
ties, who has a normal quota of brains
and common sense, can possibly take
such stand.
Young people who know on which
side their bread is buttered have but
three legitimate social pre-occupations
in 1910: ~ How can the present dy-
ing social order, with it's horrible in
fections of hunger, insecurity and war,
be most speedily and painlessly put
out of its misery; (2) How can
better social order most effectively be
substituted for the old one 60 What
should be the nature of the new social
order?
Let Mr.. Roosevelt scold if he will.
Let Mr.. Dies denounce; let the FBI
investigate; let the department of
justice indict and the federal courts
condemn. These forces are all con-
cerned with the preservation of things
as they are.
The flood of social change now en-
quilting the world will have swept the
old social order into oblivion long be-
fore 1885. Youth today should be de-
voting its time and its energy to
clearing away the wreckage of the old

of our own, didn't go to the show

They pulled a big banquet for him
there, and they printed his platform on
the menu or program or whatever you
call it.

Well, anyhow, Dewey is an Indian
chief too and his name is ''Tatonka.
OF course, I guess that disguise will
come in handy lots of times when he's
sleuthing in New York. Just between
us, I'd just as soon he stays in New

name it's against the law isn't it?
Or is it just against sanity and good
judgment? Anyhow, it's a case of
ignorance being blissful, and Tatonka
seems to have overlooked it.
But times wasting, and maybe some
of you whose education has been neg

INSURANCE cos.
DEBUNkED BY N.
EC. Committee
By HENRY ION
Federated Pressl

The insurance industry is one of
the largest industries in the United
States. Yet it is surrounded with so
much financial hocus-pocus and mys-
terry that the average guy buying a
policy has little more to go on than
the cut of the salesman's coat or the
part in the salesman's hair.
In an attempt to strip away some
of this hocus-pocus and determine
what role the insurance industry plays
in the economic life of the nation, the
Temporary National Economic (mon-
opoly) committee undertook detailed
study fthe 26 largest legal reserve
life insurance companies in the United
States.
The TNEC discovered that although
the amount of life insurance in force
for the 26 companies at the end of
the 1929-38 period increased only $50
to 1922 billion assets jumped e3.1T
to $24.2 billions.
The number of life insurance pol
icies dropped 2.2qo from high of
101.5 millions in 1881 to SO millions in
December, 1888. The two largest COM
panies, Metropolitan and Prudential,
had 36% of the admitted assets of the
group.
1t is emphasized that the report,
which was prepared by the Securities
and Exchange Commission, contained
no conclusions and no recommends
tions. To others looking at the re-
port, however, the figures suggested

happily ever after.
In the senate, Davis, Pennsylvania
republican, suggested that another
congress of American youth be held,
and they march upon the nations
capital not to make demands of their
government but "to present them
selves for service" The kind of serv-
ice he did not say-probably military.
One would judge that the chief prob

whether or not to expel the handful
of communists who admittedly are
members of the Youth congress; lack
Of jobs and lack of educational oppor-
tunities are of relatively minor i'm
portance. Of course, that's handy
approach to the problem when the
current program is to cut down appro-
priations to aid needy youth (NYA)
in order to increase ornaments and
reduce taxes for the fat boys.
The fact that about 100000 young
people between the ages of Is and

work indicates, said NYA Administra-
tor Aubrey Williams in speech last
week, that our economy as now con
stituted is not prepared to absorb the

its doors for admission to the adult
world of productive work.
