GQ HlOI dISi GoIlluStU DuSlllGSS, and slowed up defense.
 OPM and OPACS at Odds
 The best example of these con- flicts was the quarrel between the Office of Production Manage ment and MT. Handerson's old Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply over the ex- tent and speed with which auto mobile production would be cur tailed to free men, materials, managerial skill and plant facil- ities for armament making.
 MT. Knudsan, as former head of General Motors, quietly call ed a group of his old colleagues in the automobile industry to meeting early in April and ob- tained from them an agreement for an initial cut in production of 20 percent under the 1940 level, effective Aug. 1.
 In few weeks it became ap- parent that this cut was not enough. Both the Army and Navy asked for greater cuts, but MT. Knudsen gave no outward in dication that any further reduc- tion was planned immediately. MT Henderson, exercising his civilian al ocation powers, step ped out with tentative" or der that production for the 1942 model year, which began Aug. l, be cut 50 percent, with the pro- duction rate in August Septem- Der and October to be about 80 percent of last years level and from then on to be only 50 per cent or less.
 There was at once a quarrel which ragged publicly and private y and was carried to the Presi- dents desk for a showdown. Each agency asserted its right to de- c.de the size of the automobile cut.
 The quarrel continued into August. The automobile makers did not know which agency's in- structions to follow.
 Sharp Rise in Auto Schedules
 The automobile manufacturers in August apparently forgot their agreement with MT. Knud- sen to cut down production 20 per cent to save materials, for the official estimates of August automobile production offered by MT. Knudsen were 100000, an increase of 51,000 over the same month last year
 In other words instead of re- ducing production 20 per cent the automobile companies in- creased their output by 88 per cent, and thereby consumed great quantities of steel, copper, aluminium and other metals need ed for defense. Of course, now that OPM and OPACS have ag- reed upon 26.6 percent cut for the four-month period, the auto mobile companies will be requir- ed to reduce their operations to greater extent in September, October and November than would have been necessary if they had accepted the 20 percent cut agreed upon with MT. Knud- sen earlier.
 But the incident has had an i'm portant effect. It more than any other single thing was respon- sible for the creation of SPAB.

Mrs. Tillett Tells
Democrats to Push
Help for Britain

Mrs. Charles w. Tillett, assistant
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, last night called
on Democratic women for clear
thinking and prompt action" in sup
port of the administrations foreign
policy, hemisphere defense and do
mestic policy.
Addressing the Womans National
Democratic Club at dinner meet
ing at the clubhouse, Mrs. Tllett
asserted it is the duty of all Demo
cratic women to study the bill be-
fore Congress, which sets up the
machinery for aid to Britain" and
to get the force of public opinion
behind the legislation.
Referring to the reported plan
studies of the organization, which
in the past have taken up such sub
jects as the N. Y. A. and the C. c.
c., Mrs. Tillett suggested that
studies on aid for Britain and hem
ispheric defense may prove more
difficult.
We may not be able to have a
town meeting every time We want
to send a ship or plane to Britain, -
she said. But Democratic woman
leaders in clubs and party organiza-
tionS can have plenty of town meet
ings in every precinct to discuss the
legislation which is necessary to set
the machinery going for aid to
Britain. and out of these town meet
ings can grow the Informed public
opinion on foreign policy which is
absolutely essential for this admin
istration'
Relative to the women's response
bility to an all-inclusive national
defense, Mrs. Tillett declared: We
have learned the value of public
opinion in upholding President
Roosevelt in the domestic program
of our party. Let us now in every
precinct put behind this defense
program such unity and force of
public opinion that the leaders of
business, of agriculture and of labor
will unite in defense efforts"

1t is interesting TO note that
one point stressed by the authors
was brought out by Clipper
Smith, the Villanova coach, be-
fore the Hall-Da Grossa work
was published. 1t relates to the
center as a blocker.
THE quarterback" Clipper
said, lis right under the center
and when the ball is showed back
to make contact with one OF his
hands. he brings the other UP
and clamps on. That lets the
center keep his head up and
charge the moment he shoves
the ball back. It's big help on
bucks"
Ordinarily the center easily is
disposed of, but not according to
the Shaughnessy plan. On

straight drives at the line the
impression Is given that the ball
carrier is driving through on
sheer power. Actually the center
is providing valuable blocking.
Slip Madigan. former coach Of
ST. Mary's, says no one need
worry about the ''T" offense.
"a seven-man line with box
backf1eld will do the trick" he
says.
The seven forwards will cut
of those nice blocking angles for
quick opening speed plays. Put
the box behind it and forget the
safety. Not a team used a seven
box against Stanford last year.
Jimmy Phelan had the best de-
fense that was used. and it al
most clicked. II he had brought
his safety up to cover after he
sent one man chasing the moving
