Because of these factors, the
British government has consid-
cred Gen. de Gaulle a dissident
leader rather than the head OF
a new French government, and
has not accorded him official
recognition.
The State Department has
even more reason than the Brit
ish Foreign Office for not ex-
tending recognition to the leader
of the Free French. Such an
act would make it necessary to
withdraw recognition from Vichy
since it is not possible to main
tain diplomatic relations with
two governments representing the
same country.
But this does not mean that
this Government will not sup
port Gen. de Gaulle's movement
with war material and money If
necessary. The observers who
will shortly reach Brazzaville are
expected to keep Washington in

well as to indicate what the
United States may do to help

ALLEGATIONS for
Priorities System
Agricultural Implements
Industry to Be Used
To Test New Method

A major revision of the priorities
system is contemplated under which
defense industries will get specific
ALLEGATIONS of raw materials instead
of so-cailed preference ratings.
The plan was outlined yesterday
before the House Banking Commit
tee by Donald M. Nelson, executive
director of the newly y-created Supply
Priorities and ALLEGATIONS Board.
who said he was not certain as to
the details of operation, but that he
intended to use the agricultural i'm
plements industry as guinea pig"
on which to try it out.
Under the existing priorities sys-
tenn, firms are given certain ratings
in the order of their Importance to
the defense program and the civilian
population.
But a manufacturer can't oper-
ate unless he knows how much ma
terlal he's going to get and when
he'll be able to get it," the former
vice president of Sears Roebuck
said. He can't get that informa-
ton from a mere preference rating
because many other firms in the
same business may have the same
rating"
Mr.. Nelson told the committee
that he opposed Secretary Nor
genthau's proposal to put 6
per cent limit on profits. believing
it would destroy initiative. The
same view was expressed later by
Representative Disney. Democrat,
of Oklahoma, who said that the
Morgenthau plan, levying q 100
per cent tax on all profits above 6
per cent, was too preposterous for
! Congress to swallow" Mr.. Disney

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Congress is soon to have an OPP
portunity to discuss and vote on
repeal of the Neutrality Act, or
its most vital provisions. If the
administration should determine
to seek amendment rather than
repeal-only the barest shadow
of the original act will remain on
the statute books. AS predicted
by those who opposed the enact
ment of this law-it has not
worked. You cannot make peo-
pie neutral by law. The Ameri-
can people have never been
neutral in the struggle now going
on between Hitler and Britain on
the one hand and between Japan
and China on the other. This ha
been demonstrated by the fact
that through one step after an
other the administration has
moved 10 the aid of the battling
democracies against the totali-
tartan governments.
Senator Taft of Ohio has been
quoted as saying that repeal of
the Neutrality Act would be the
equivalent of a declaration OF
war. Isolationists and non-in-
terventionists in the Senate and
House have clamored for months
for a move by the Administra-
ton that would give Congress an
opportunity to vote on declara-

by which 1t was necessary for
the British to come to this coun-
try to get the supplies and to pay
cash for them ard take title to
them before they left these shores.
This later was modified by the
enactment of the lease-lend law.
Cash was no longer necessary.
But there still remained the pro-
vision requiring that shipments
be made in other than American
flag vessels, if they were going
into the so-called combat areas.
1t is that provision, and another

can merchant ships, which the

Showdown at Hand.
Always the isolationists. for
want of a better name, have
claimed that a large majority of
the American people were back
of them. Always they have,
when the showdown came, been
proved wrong. For Congress Is
not only the representative of the
people but the very sensitive ear
and voice of the people back
home. 1t followed the Admin
stration in its effort to repeal
the arms embargo. 1t sustained
the Administration in It's lease
lend proposal 1t gave voice ap-
proval overwhelmingly to the ex-
change Of over-age destroyers for
American naval base leases on
British territory along the Allan
tic seaboard. 1t put through the
military draft act. 1t authorized
and appropriated billions upon
billions of dollars for increased
national defense and for lease
lend aid to Britain. And always
the isolationists have resisted and
been defeated.
The sentiment of the Ameri-
can people in favor of going as
far as may be necessary to pre-
vent the overthrow of Britain and
to defeat Hitler has grown
stronger, tremendously stronger,
within recent weeks. Two things
have particularly intensified this
feeling. The first has been the
submarine warfare against YES
sells bearing materials to Iceland
which this Government has de-
termined to protect against Hit
Ter invasion. The second has
been the increasing successes of
the NaZis in Russia. Americans,
except the extremists, have come
to realize that this country has

NV fellow Americans:

MY fellow Americans:
This is a memorable day in the
history of American shipbuilding-
a memorable day in the emergency
defense of the Nation Today, from
dawn to dark, IA ships are being
launched-on the Atlantic, on the
Pacific and on the Gulf and among
them is the first liberty ship, the
Patrick Henry.
While we are proud of what we
are doing, this is certainly no time
to be content. We must build more
cargo ships and still more cargo
ships-and we must speed the pro-
gram until we achieve q launching
each day, then two ships a day,
fulfilling the building program
undertaken by the Maritime Com
mission.
A Reply to Aggressors.
Our shipbuilding programmed
only that of the Maritime Com
mission, but of the Navy-is one of
our answers to the aggressors who
would strike at our liberty.
I am speaking today not only to
the shipworkers in the building
yards on our coasts, on our Great
Lakes and on our rivers-not only
to the thousands who are present
at today's launching-but also to
the men and women throughout the
country who live far from salt water
or shipbuilding.

simple, historic fact that through
out the period of our American life,
going way back into Colonial days,
commerce on the high seas and free
dom of the seas has been a majo
reason for our prosperity and the
building up of our country.

that the Nazls would permit the
French pro-consul to fortify that
vital base. But permission was
given when the Germans were
satisfied that the war material
transported to Dakar would be
placed in positions facing possible
attack from Gen. de Gaulle or
from the sea.
Gen. Weygand's policies are
clear. AS long as Marshal Petain
remains the head of the Vichy
government, the pro-consul be-
leves France will not give in to
the Germans to the extent of
fighting the Allies-unless the
marshal is definitely convinced
that the British are defeated. In
that event, British attack on
Dakar would not be possible. If,
however. the Germans become
dissatisfied with the situation in
Free and Occupied France and
decide to take over the whole
country, Gen. Weygand would be
expected to make stand to pre-
serve North Africa as a symbol

ANY football player can throw

correctly and accurately is an
other thing Yca might say that
'.how to forward pass means
actually ~how to improve for

Most important is the move
ment of taking the bah from

possible, right or left, to the spot
where your protection - the
blockers-is supposed to form.
Get there quickly and get set.
holding the ball chest high. and
balancing yourself SO as to be
able to move in any direction as
soon as you're sef-and be sure
not to spread the textbook
over your field for your receiv-
ers.
When you've picked yeur re-
ceiver. the throwing act should
include a step off the right foot
left foot pointed toward the OBJ
jective. OF course. if the passer
is Ieft-handed this should be
reversed.
If the receiver is to take a
short pass. about six or seven
yards beyond the line of scrim-
mage. let him have the ball as
fast as possible after he makes
his feint and break-away from
the defensive man covering him.
This should always be a bullet
pass, as the faster the ball trav-
els the less chance the defender
has Of recovering himself and
intereepting the bali, or Of Gov
ering the receiver so that he can
not make the catch.
On long passes where the re-
ceiver is trying TO race behind
the halfback or safefY man.
the pass should be a lob. or
looping pass. so that the re-
ceiver can run under the ball
for the catch.
All flat zone passes should be

not get up quick enough to in
tercept and to afford the receiv-
er the chance of not only maxi
ing the catch but also Of dodg-
ing the defender.
AS TO gripping the ball, this
should be ruled by how the ball
feels in your hand. I recommend
the bali be held firmly but not
too tightly.
In my estimation the most
efficient passing Is done when
the passer has both feet on the
ground. When you want 10 hit
