ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 16. - Navy
coaches are not sparing the varsity
football squad in practice this week
The camp has a serious air, for
scouting reports do not discount the
potency of Cornell's football team.
Navy has the appearance of realiz-
ing that hard work in preparation
can win the game at the Baltimore
Stadium Saturday, but that any at
tempt to short cut will be disastrous.
For the first time in many a year
Navy has a team which seems
headed for gridiron greatness. Not
since the national champion eleven
of 1926 have hopes been raised so
high down here. Defeat by Cornell
would be terrific shock, for already
Pennsylvania and Notre Dame, the
only two teams which beat the Mid
shipment last year, are being looked
upon as possible record-ruiners.
Navy stands at the head of the
undefeated Eastern teams with a
total of lis points against 2 for the
opposition in three games to date.
Cornell is 18th on the list with 13
points against none for its rivals.

Defensive Record Into
Struggle Saturday

Maryland has rolled out the "un-
welcome" mat for at least three
Gators travelling with Florida and
due in College Park Saturday for the
Terps' annual home coming game.
The mere mention of their names
should be sufficient warning for vets
who played in the last two games
against the Southerners, but to
make doubly certain there is no mis-
understanding, Coach Jack Faber
has posted them on the bulletin
board. The warning reads: BE on
the lookout for these men, etc, ETC."
And Faber means it.
Harrison Is Versatile Back.
Tommy Harrison, the chap whose
passes paved the way for Maryland's
defeat last year and in '39, is No. /

tors may be handcuffed throughout
the game, for Harrison is the pistons,

ering youngster, who runs as well as
q halfback with the cowhide tucked
under his arm, snags passes and
defensively hits harder than a tax
collector. He's considered one of
the best flankers in Dixie.
Peanuts" Hull, considered one of
the greatest tackles in Florida's his
tory, is the lineman who figures to
give the Terp offense a rough after
noon. On preseason dope sheets
Hull was labeled an outstanding all
America candidate and thus far the
prediction has been 100 per cent
correct. He's big and tough and
fast for a tackle.
Gators Tough Defensively.
Records show Florida has one of
the best defensive teams Maryland
will face this autumn. The Gators
are rated above Duke in some de-
fensive departments, which should
give you an idea that Maryland will
have to dig deeply into its bag of
tricks. Only II points have been
scored on Florida this season, COM
ing from two one-shot touchdowns.
Maryland has proved it's offensive
strength with 847 yards gained in
three games and with Senior Du
Vail and Soph Jack Brenner as the
signal-calling left halfbacks is ex-
pected to keep moving Saturday.

PALPABLE FRAUD

(Wall Street JOurnaD
Latest Of the rabbits to be pulled out
of hat in Washington is the suggestion
that the Social Security old-age tax be
increased from its present rate-1 per
cent of wages each on employer and en-
ploye-to 3 or even 5 per cent. The pro-
posal is said to emanate from some of
the economic advisers" that infest the
capital and to be under serious consid-
eration by Treasury and Social Security
officials.
The object of this proposed tax, which
would hit the pocketbook of every wage
Garner and the small relatively more than
the large, is to siphon off part of the
extra money now going to workers and
thus to create more or less of a brake
on inflationary tendencies.
The funds to be derived from this
boosted tax would go into the Social Sc
curity reserve, to be paid to the contri-
buting workers when Super-annuated. 1t
is repetitious and possibly unnecessary
to point out that this reserve fund is
largely fiction, that all the worker re-
ceives for his weekly payment into it is
d promise of the government to pay him
later, promise the fulfillment of which
government when the payment comes
due. The government, like any indivi-
dual, cannot owe money to itself.
The proposed increase in social Sc
curity rates is nothing but plan for
enforced savings, the sO-called Keynes
plan at its worst.
It would be right to extend the in
come tax to lower income brackets than
are now reached by it. But to do so might
cost votes and no one in Washington ap-
pears to have the intestinal fortitude
openly to advocate such course. Whe-
ther the small taxpayer will long be de-
ceived by the palpable fraud of wrap
ping up an unpleasant tax in pretty
package labeled Security is highly
questionable.

amount of dialog in action scenes
played on the pier. You can't have
a couple of characters just walk
back and forth, time after time,
in limited space. I figure 1t as
foot per wood-try it and see II IL

I had to plan a set for dialog, !
had to ask the actors to rehearse
the scene for me while l counted
and measured.

spectacle neighborhood place, and
family lives upstairs. That was
break for the prop men, because
sawdust's messy to work with.

The New Competition

Silk mills are now added to the
plants that may have to shut down
for lack of raw materials. The jobs
Of as many IS 100000 may be en-
dangered III the auto industry If
production is shut down so per
cent because OF lack OF metals. Al
uminum plants making kitchen
ware, silVer-plating plants, face
contraction, perhaps closing, for
lack OF their basic metals. Through
cut smaller industries the pinch is
felt
Needless to say, the government
is going to do all that it can to
see that ways are found to keep
these plants open, by giving them
contracts for defense material, by
reducing their supplies of metal
and material as slowly as possible.
But the government can't guar
antee to do this in every case.
The defense program is a great ma
tional effort, and it comes first.
1t doesn't matter much whose
fault it is that there is a shortage
Of certain basic materials. The
fault, in any case is probably spread
widely over a great many people
and factors. But it is a fact.
Face to face with the fact, what
is American business going to do?
It could whine and say, THE gov
ernment is doing TINS to US, let
the government find the way out" ="
But business won't do that, if we
know American business. It is not
the government that is doing
these things. It is the American
people, acting through their gov

the answer seems to be that fancy
prices for bottled and canned OIL
ives take nearly all the pick from
American groves
Smyrna figs and Arabian dates
will give way to the domestic pro-
duct. Tapioca, which formerly came
mainly from the Dutch East In
dies, will have to come from Bra
zil, or maybe not at all. Cocoa pre-
viously imported from West Africa
will likewise have to come in in
creasing quantities from Brazil.
All the imports from Central and
South America will be made avail
able TO the fullest extent shipping
space permits, as part of the hem
isphere defense plan. This applies
particularly to the banana trade.
To shut that off would simply ruin
the Latin American banana re-
publics.
There is plenty of coffee in South

be doing things to the very paper
bags you won't be able to &c. 70
carry home the things S2u wen !
be able to buy-not because OF high
prices, but simply because a lot Of
the fancy groceries dependent on
imports won't be available.
Cooks may even have to change
the seasoning in some of their pet

be eliminated. Milk routes may have
to be combined And some people
may even be riding u bicycle TO
market instead of driving the old
family jallopy
This somewhat eye-opening view
of what might be called the situ-
alton" comes from no less respon-
sible a source than the division of
industrial economy in the Depart
ment of Commerce.
PLENTY OF APPLESAUCE
You are advised by the experts
of this division that their dire pre-
diction should not alarm you un-
duly. but it should wake you up to
the future facts of living. There is
and there apparently will be no
shortage Of items like meat, pota-
toes, applesauce, bread and vita
Minis.
So far, the only two things which
have had their impact on the civil
liam population as q whole have
been the scrap aluminium drive and
the silk stocking thing. Regionally
Of course, there have been power
shortages in the southeast and gas
oline shortages in the east. but
those matters are only the begin
ming The niceties of life will be
the hardest hit from now on.
Mention was made of the very
paper bags in which the groceries
are carried home You wouldn't
think these would be any shortages
Of paper, but the kraft papers and
the wrapping papers Of all kinds
are being used in unbelievable
quantities by the defense program,
and paper mill capacity IS limited.
Parts are wrapped in paper for
shipment TO assembly plants. Fin
ished products are paper-Wrapped
for protection, so a paper
bags" campaign is not outside the
realm Of things to come.
Shortage OF heavy paper hits the
box and container industry from
nearly every angle. One place it
will hit hard is in the use Of paper
milk bottles" which have gained
wide acceptance The only substi-
tute here is to start Increasing the
use of glass bottles again.
In areas where the gas shortage
becomes acute and a labor short
age develops, there may be a gov
ernment-sponsored effort to have
milk routes Of competing dairies
combined 50 that a single delivery
can take care Of all the customers
in a given district. And what goes
ior milk routes could easily be eX-
tended for deliveries Of all sorts,
including ice cream and popcorn
men.
