Roosevelt Suggests
700 Million Shift
In Agencies Funds
Cuts in CopitoI Of J
Proposed to Keep Debt
Within Legal Limit

Seven Government lending agen-
cies which might turn back to the
Treasury a total Of $700 ,0O0, 900 to
keep the national debt from going
above its $45000, 100000 statutory
limit were listed by President Roose-
welt yesterday.
He suggested a $500. 900 900 reduc-
ton in capital Of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. and smaller cuts in
other agencies to carry out a plan
he first broached in his 1941 budget
message.
The. tentative program was out
lined by the President yesterday in
a letter to Vice President Garner,
replying to resolution by Senator
Byrd, Democrat, Of Virginia, asking
information on the matter.
The following reductions "have
been suggested" the President
wrote:
Thirty-flve million dollars from
the Treasury investment in saw
ings and loan associations, $40 ,O0O.-
600 from the Federal intermediate
credit banks, $6O,00O,OOO from the
banks for co-operatives, SIS 900. 900
from the production credit corpora
tions, $200, 100000 from the Federal
land banks, s50,00O,OOO from the
Public Works Administration and
$500 ,O00, 900 from the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
"The amounts are tentative and
are not to be taken as final" Mr.
Roosevelt wrote, adding:
Il am now having the proposals
carefully reviewed and may recon-
mend legislation to Congress.
For example, the capital stock
OF the Federal Farm Mortgage Corp
might be reduced by 100000 900, in
which case the reduction of the
capital structure of the Federal
Land Banks might be 100000 900
The Reconstruction Finance Corp
could be permitted to purchase the
stock of the Federal Home Loan
Banks, now held by the Treasury
amounting to s125 5000, 900, in which
case the return Of capital funds
from that corporation might be
SITS 900 900.
Legislation to accomplish a SINH
lar purpose may be requested in the
case OF other corporations. More
over, there are certain bills now
pending in Congress pertaining to
credit agencies which if enacted
would effect the final determination
as to the distribution between
agencies.
Il wish to assure you that what
ever adjustments are made will leave
these agencies with adequate oper-
ating capital"
Senator Byrd said in a statement
that he was not opposed ito any
bona flde recovery of working cap
ital of Government corporations
but would oppose any bookkeeping
juggling merely to evade the legal
debt limit as set by Congress.
Senator Byrd said that unless
s700 900, 900 were diverted from lead
ing agencies congressional appropri-
ations would lift the debt above the
present $45 ,o00, ,o00, 900 limit.

The Supreme Court-still one OF
the most dignified institutions on
earth-has introduced a few new
touches to its carefully staged ses-
sions.
Sedately draped in their silk robes,
the nine justices make their i'm
pressive entrance at high noon as
usual, but its funereal solemnity has
lessened.
In fact, if you listen attentively
you can detect chuckle or two be-
fore the white draperies behind the
bench part and the jurists march in
to their seats.
All of them nod and smile warmly
as they greet friends in the court
room. Two of them-Justices Muir

Control Cards Given French

OSLO, April 23.-British and
French residents of this German
occupied city were ordered today to

stamped several times a day by po-

Zivic, New Welter Champion, Meets Davis Next Week

New York, Nov. 5.-Fritzie zivic, world welterweight champion, re- turns to New York from Pittsburgh tomorrow morning to resume train- ing here for. his ten-round meeting with Al avis, Brownsville Bomber, at Madison Square Garden a week from Friday (Nov. l5).
 Zivic, who astonished the boxing world by vanquishing Henry Arm strong at the Garden several weeks ago, has done no boxing since then but he has not been inactive. The new world champion has been a daily visitor to the gymnasium in Pittsburgh and continued his work outs without interruption when he visited New York for few days last week, training at the Pioneer gymnasium.
 The meeting between Zivic and Davis represents one of the most attractive matches of the season. It brings together the two hardest hit- ters in the 147-pound class. zivic a smashing right-hander and Davis a walloping left-hooker.
 Can Get Title Bout
 A victory for Davis will insure him a title opportunity. zivic is sched- uled to face Henry Armstrong in a return championship bout on Jan. IT. Should Davis triumph over Zivic next week he will meet the winner of the Zivic-Armstrong contest for the title.
 Davis is training for the zivic clash at Beechers gymnasium in Brownsville, where he has drilled for all his fights in New York. Pugilisms Bad Boy" turned in one of the best fights of his career when he defeated Tony Marteliano at the Garden two months ago.
 Matchmaker Nat Rogers has lined up another attractive program to support the Davis-Zivic encounter. Paired in the eight-round semi final are two great middleweight punchers, Ernie Vigh of Newburgh, and Al Bernard of Greenwich Vil- lage. In his last start Vigh knocked out Ben Brown in one round.

REDS SET ALL
 TIME MARK FOR
 ONE-RUN WINS
Cincinnati Club Took AZ Games By Smallest
 Possible Margin

New York, Nov. 5 - By winning fl of their 100 victories during the National League season by the mar gin of one run, the Cincinnati Reds browke the all-time record of 31, set by the world champion Chicago Cubs of 1907 and unequalled down the decades until MacKechnie's ma chine moved the peg 4 notches ahead en route to their National League pennant.
 Reams written about the Reds at world series time portrayed "a new style championship team, super lative defense headed by great pitching, plus punch in the pinch" |" Their record-making in the One- Run-Win department links them with the club rated as the all-time greatest "inside-baseball" machine in diamond history, the Tinker-to- Evers-to-C Chance combination whose 1907 world series vitcim, incidentally was also Detroit-the old Tigers commanded b yJennings and starr ring Cobb.
 New Style
 From start o finish, the l940. Reds played their "new-style" game right to the hilt. Great defense, punch in pinch. The Pittsburgh Pirates out scored them by 104 runs. The St. Louis Cardinals totalled 40 runs more than Cincy's 707. Three clubs hit more homers and made more hits. The Red Birds stole more bases.
 But the Reds led all rivals in to- tai defense-pitching and fielding. On top of their renowned 1889 Derringer- Walters "one-two punch" they worked in reverse play, a "tow-one" wallop. They opened their season April l6 with 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs. They won next day the same score. Eight times on their way to the pennant, 2-1 won the day for the Reds.
 When the world series reached Its 7th game all even, the Reds gave the Tigers their 2-1 treatment in the classics clincher, the 42nd One. Run-Win of an epoch-making year for McKechnie's pinch-punch ex- perts.
 Winning the close ones" was the Rds' recipe for winning the cham pionship. Their pennant was won by the widest margin in National League history since 1881. Marrow wins made the wide margin.

Georgetown Jack
 Haggerty Tabled Coach of the Week
BY HARRY FERGUSON nIniteh Press Shorts Editor

New York, Nov. 5 -- tU.P0 The last time his team went down to de- feat was in 1887 and today he is riding one of teh best winning streaks ever made in college foot ball.
 The United Press nominates for the coach of teh week-Jack flag erty of Georgetown.
 This. is the way he explains the reccrds he has made at the Wash ington, D. C., school:
 Great teams make great coaches and nothing succeeds like success. am no better qualified as a coach today than I was prior to 1937. The breaks simply started fslling my way and some wonderful material started playing some great football, "
 Learned From Little
 Another explanation is that Hag- erty learned his football under Lou Little, one of the smartest men in the business, in the days when Lit tie was the Georgetown coach. Just before Jacks graduation in 1926 Little had this to say about him: There is one of the brainiest and most vesatile players I ever coach- ed"
 Last week Georgetown defeated Syracuse 28 to 6. So far this year Georgetown has yielded only 22 points in six games.
 The biggest obstacle to perfect record this season is the powerful Boston College team which George town meets at Boston on November 16. It's hard to see how they can keep the winner of that one out of one of the Bowl games.
 Born in Dorchester. Mass, on July 3, 1903. Hagerty was an all-around athlete at Dorchester High school before entering Georgetown. He was married seven and a half years ago and has a six-year-old daughter, Barbara Rose. They live at Colonial Village. Va. outside of Washington.

 New York, Nov. 6.--(UP1--Armys gallant stand against Notre Dame Saturday has raised eastern hopes for a Navy victory over the Irish In the sections banner football game this week -end.
 Navy is supposed to have a much better all around team than Army and if the Middies have the fight and drive to raise their game to the heights reached by the Cadets, and Notre Dame plays no better than 1t did in Yankee Stadium last week, the South Bend bubble may get double -harrele6 broadside.
 Notre Dame came to New York heralded as the greatest team since the Rockne era and supposedly able to write its own ticket against one of the weakest Army elevens in his- tory, an eleven that had barely noSed little Williams by one point, had been tied by weak Harvard and thoroughly trounced by Cornell and Lafayette.
 The 7S,000 who saw Army lose 0-7 know that Elmer Layden's boys did not pull their punches and that Notre Dame needed the luck of the Irish to win--a pass interception and subsequent 84-yard touchdown gallop. The Cadets outplayed No- Ire Danes vaunted powerhouse all the way. With the Army tackles crashing through to smear the of- fense, Notre Dame was unable to put two of its four first-downs to- gether. The play was in Notre Dame territory all afternoon and statistically, the Army had the best of 1t by Al.
 Navy dropped from the perfect record list Saturday, and Maj Swede Larson can be counted on to have his Middies whipped to a fighting pitch to bounce back from the Penn defeat against a deflated Notre Dame eleven.
 The eastern list of six undefeat- cd, united teams is likely to be trimmed by at least two this week. While the other four seem to have comparatively clear sailing. The danger flag is up for Lafayette, which meets Rutgers, and Franklin and Marshall, which plays N. Y. U.
