Football Team
To Play Father
Flanagan's Team

The st. Martin High School foot
ball team left on a chartered bus
for Boys Town, Nebraska, Thurs
day, October %, to engage Father
Flanagan's boys in a gridiron con-
test for the Junior Catholic Cham
pionship on October 25.
The st. Martins All Stars have
played nine games and lost one,
which was a Catholic non-confer-
ence game. In the game the All
Stars are to use a new type of
backfeld shift and huddle which is
a creation of the schools coach.
If St. Martin wins the title this
year, they will again go to Boys
Town to give them a chance to
win back the title. The first string
lineup will probably be: Robert
White, George Nesbitt, Leroy Bak-
er, Corles Cookey, A. Armstrong.
Russell Taylor, Carl Patterson.
Harold Brown, Shelton Boughery,
James Carlisle and John Quenchill,
captain. The team is coached by
"Flash" Albert Washington, for
mer De LaSalle High School foot
ball and basketball player.
Also accompanying the team are
ten girls with Mrs. I. Moore, chap
eron; Edward Anderson, assistant
coach; Stanley Mcconnell, team
manager; Van White, equipment
manager; Van Smith, trainer, and
Robert Blair, team photographer.

The material which reaches
Misunderstanding for granted
that the japanese allow our YES
sells free passage to that port
can be sent directly to the front
on all Russian railways. But the
distance between VladivoStok and
the Volga River is 1000 miles as
the crow flies.
The Trans-Siberian Railway
has been double tracked. But
the Russians are not particularly
efficient at handling mass trans
portation. There are about %
tunnels between Vladivostok and
Lake Baikal in Siberia. If any,
thing happens to any Of these
tunnels, transportation would be
held up for weeks.
Hence, nobody here believes
that the war material the Rus
slams need at the present time
can start flowing regularly 10 the
fighting armies in the near fu-
ture. 1t would take months for
the output of American factories
to reach the Russians in sufficient
quantities to enable them to
fight the Nazis effectively.
And we must also bear in mind
that the armies of Voroshiloff,
Timoshenko and Budyenny have
sustained very heavy losses in
equipment. The probable fall OF
Leningrad, with its important
arms and equipment factories,
would be as severe a blow to
Stains fighters as the loss Of

When the chairman of the De-

handed out the exchange of letters

was given that the National Labor

there was no violation of the Wagner

1t is doubtful whether the men,

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The eventual fate of the Rus
sian troops led by Marshal Sc
neon Budyenny is of great
concern TO both Washington and
London now.
Official Moscow announcement
today admitted the evacuation of
Kiev by the Budyenny army,
which presumably retired to new
positions to set up a defense
against any Nazi thrust at Khar-
kov.
Marshal Budyenny's soldiers
have borne the brunt of the
fiercest German attacks for al
most two months. He was COM
PEELED to withdraw late this sum-
mer from the Odessa front and
accomplished marvels by losing
only about 10000 men when he
retired to the left bank of the
Dnieper. He left comparatively
small force at Odessa mot more,
it is said, than $4,000 mem TO
bolster up the militia which forms
the main defending force of that
region.
Evening star., 1941-09-22

But Budyenny had stubbornly
refused to withdraw from Kiev
because he thought he could hold
the enemy. Whether he can es-
cape from thesnet thrown around
him by the Germans is a ques-
ton of the greatest importance.
If the Nazis can trap his main
mechanical forces, an insufficient
Russian force will be left as the
barrier between the southern
German Army and the Caucasus
which is bound to be the next
main objective of Herr Hitler.
Mountains Are Barrier.
The Allies feel confident the
terrain around Russias oil re-
gion-across the Caucasian Noun
tains-will offer formidable
barrier to the German advance.
But that terrain must be defend
ed by an efficient army. If
Budyenny loses his main mech
anized forces and large portion
of his aviation, the situation will
look bad for the Russians.
1t is true that winter is rapidly
approaching and campaign in
the mountains will be a difficult
problem for the Germans. But
military quarters believe such a
campaign can be carried out if
the Russian Army of the south
is cut to pieces.
Washington and London an
nounce emphatically that all
available war material will be
sent to the U. S. s. r. as quickly
as possible. A number of air
planes already have been sent
over. More are to follow. But
we must not deceive ourselves
regarding the ability of the
United States and Great Britain
to rush enough aid to the Soviets
within the next few weeks to
enable them to oppose the Nazi
air and mechanical forces.
The whole situation boils down
to this: If the Russians can con-
tinue to resist the Germans with
out much outside help in the i'm
mediate future, the situation will

In Meeting Grove Initiation Crisis

primary purpose is to tear down the |
American system and substitute |
some other about which they are |
not clear, even in their own minds. |
And it is true that in the past Mr.. |
Henderson, vastly loquacious in
dividual, has himself given voice to |
views which would lead one to be-
lieve that he did not think private
business either could be saved or
was worth saving
But. it is said, that was some time
ago. Now, Mr.. Henderson is repre-
sented as thoroughly convinced of
the soundness Of the private-enter-
prise system, as anxious to preserve
it and as believing that it can and
should be done.
Apparently, Mr.. Roosevelt intends
to insist upon Mr.. Henderson as
price administrator, and probably
his weight is sufficient to install him
despite anti-HenderSon feeling.
Baruch's Backing Helpful.
The kindly and casual indorse-
ment of Mr.. Baruch will assist in
this, though that was due more to
his desire not to have his criticisms
seem personal and to his knowledge
that the President will not yield on
Mr.. Henderson than to anything
else. However, it would be both
helpful and healthful if. in advance
of the act, Mr.. Henderson should
make clear his attitude toward the
private te-enterpriSe system.
He talks a great deal on great
many subjects. Some reassuring
words as to his present beliefs on
this subject might obviate bitter
fight and facilitate the passage of
a good bill.
1t might also make easier later
cooperation with him. While he is
about it Mr.. Henderson might also
explain why he has asked for all
increased appropriation for his de-
partment for the fiscal year 1912
from S806, 900 to $3.769 900: why he
plans to increase his present staff
of 900 to 1895; why his general coun-
sci, young Mr.. David Ginsburg, is
70 increase his legal staff from 90
% 163 persons; why his own execu-
tive staff is to be increased from
II to 1873; why the price division is
to be raised from 1873 to 251; why the
civilian ALLEGATION division is to be
more than doubled: why the civilian
supply division is to go from 80 to
1853.
Doubtless Mr.. Henderson can JUS
tify these increases as well as the
high salaries which prevail in his
department. These facts and fig
ures were brought out last June in
speech by Representative Otter
Of Pennsylvania, who pointed out
that this expansion was occurring
and these salaries being paid before
the law gave Mr.. Henderson any
thing really to do.

military strategy and for oil. He
could not continue his war on
Britain, risking complete Amer
lean intervention, with a doubt
full Russia at his back, and with
out the certainty of fuel supplies
for his panzer divisions. Ger
many's weak spot is oil.
Hitler underestimated the re-
sistance of Russia, but he knew
that it would be costly war. He
also knew, however, that if he
won it, he would not have to
suffer again the agonizing fear
that his armies would run out of
gas.
In an all-out blitzkrieg Ger
many uses 2,5O0,000 tons of oil
per month. She can produce
synthetically from 100000 to $780,
900 tons per month and from
Rumania and Poland she can get
another 100000 tons per year.
1t is not nearly enough for a pro-
longed war.
Hitler Chose to Gamble.
At the time of the collapse of
France she was desperately short.
But victory brought her a great
haul of reserves from the con-
tinent-on which she waged the
Balkan campaign and the war on
Russia. In the latter case, Hit
Ter took the greatest gamble Of
his life. His problem was wheth-
er to risk everything he had in
order to get an inexhaustible sup
ply, or to go on the defensive
until he could rebuild reserves.
He took the risk.
If Germany does not get Per-
sian and Russian oil, Hitler can
not wage a major campaign next
spring. If he gets it, he can wage
endless campaigns. If he does
not get it, this war will never
touch our shores. If he gets it,
we shall have war in the Western
Hemisphere and on all the oceans,
and there shall be a very good
chance of our losing it.
Hitler wants to destroy the Red
Army and get a separate peace
that will put him in possession
of Russia's oil wells.
Would Russia under any cir
cumstances conclude a separate
peace?
The answer is political as well
as military and depends on the
United States. Just before the
collapse of France. Paul Reynaud
asked for a definite report on
the American situation. Had he
been able to assure his cabinet
that the United States was going
to see this war through TO VIC
tory, he could have gotten a ma
jority for continuing it with the
fleet and from the African COL
onies. That would have greatly
decreased the menace to the
United States from West Africa.
Today, Russia is in the same
position. If it is perfectly GER
tain that the United States is
going to see this war through,
Stain will have every reason to
hold a front, even if at the Urals,
and Hitler will still have a two
front war.
U. S. Position Equivocal.
But the Russians have got a lot
of verbal aid and not much else.

greatly improve within the next
few months and our war material
would be of great help for the
spring campaign. If the Russians
fail to resist the Germans within
the next few weeks and the Rus
sian winter does not set in in
time to stop the Germans, then
our help may reach the Soviets
too late. This is the situation as
seen by military experts who are
loath to indulge in wishful think
ing.
Time Factor Stressed.
These experts point out that,
while it is not impossible to send
a comparatively large number of
planes to Russia by air, it would
take a long time for tanks,
armored cars and replacement
parts for planes and mechanical
units to reach the U. S. S. r.
Even though a considerable
amount is already on the high
seas bound for Siberia and the
Persian Gulf, it is expected to
take months before it reaches
the armies at the front. In fact
it is expected to take war ma
terial longer to reach the fight
ing forces after it is unloaded
than would be consumed by the
sea trip. 1t is calculated that it
would take between five and six
weeks, if everything goes smooth
ly, to ship war material overland
from the Persian Gulf to the
Russian border. There it would
have to be trans-shipped because
the Russian railways have diff
ferent gauge from that of neigh
. boring countries.

price administrator, but has no
legal status and would have to be
renamed under the law.
The situation is unfortunate
Every informed person comedies the
necessity of effective price control
as the one means of averting dis
astrous imitation. Mr.. Roosevelt has
warned of this: his Secretary of the
Treasury has warned of it; the Fed
eral Reserve head, Mr.. Eccles, has
warned of it. In fact, no other
danger has been so widely warned
against by so many people-some
of whom know what they are talking
about but many of whom do not.
Two Mistakes Charged.
Acting to avoid this danger, the
President has made two mistakes.
First, in advance of the act he has
named as administrator a man of
reputed radical tendencies in whom
there is little pubic confidence and
about whose soundness there Is
considerable suspicion.
Second, he has Endorsed bill
under which effective price control
not only cannot be achieved but
which will increase the cost of liv-
ing rather than lessen it. This and
other defects were brought out on
Friday in a trenchant criticism by
Mr.. B. M. Baruch, made all the
more devastating by its moderation
and restraint.
Mr.. Baruch presented the vital
need for complete industrial mobil-
ization, of which price control is q
part, with impressive force and
clarity. The utter folly, both from
the standpoint of the people gen.
orally, as we'll as of the laborer and
farmer, of eliminating wages, rents
and food products from price reg
ulation, was hammered home.
That this bill, which expressly ex-
empts wages and food products,
would fail disastrously was made
clear. But price control, through a
flexible ceiling over all prices, which
would be linked with priorities and
taxes and administered without dis
elimination, was declared absolutely
essential not only for winning the
war but for winning the peace. Mr..
Baruch made an unanswerable
argument 1t should mean the re-
vision of the pending bill, and the
prompt enactment of a sound one.
That is what the national inter-
ests clearly call for; but what we
will get no one can tell.
So much for the bill-now as to
the man. When 1t Is considered
that the power sought in this bill
could be used either to destroy or
preserve the system of private en-
terprise, the need for an admin
istrator of the highest quality will

to endow him with absolute power,
but it is also necessary that he use
that power wisely and with the
single purpose of preventing price
rise that would lead to imitation.
To put such power in the hands
of a man who conceivably would use
it to promote the socialization of in
dustry and to establish permanent
governmental control over private
business would be deeply abhorrent
to the great bulk of the people.
1t is not here charged that Mr..
Henderson is such man, but it has
been charged that among his inti-
mate associates, assistants and
friends are quite few affiliated
! with the Communist party, whose
