Merle Clark is more than Olym-

The latter has come about
purely through an accident. For
Clark had no such intentions
when he went to work on the
grand console for last nights
heavyweight wrestling activities.
What Clark acc ompli s h d
through his occasional manipu-
lating of the keys overshadowed
the actual ring accomplishments of
no less a mat figure than Jim
Londos, heralded as the worlds
heavyweight champion.
That Londos conquered the
giant Wladyslaw Talun in 3S:46
through the use of a toe hold.
actually was nothing more than a
side attraction after Clark COM
pleted his efforts. And again. let
it be repeated. Clark's feats
resulted strictly by chance.
STUNTS START 1T
Clark's opportunities to turn
show stealer" arose thanks to the
stunts pulled in the ring. For
example, when Champion Londos
dashed around the ring on one
occasion with Talun in pursuit,
Clark sounded off with Rufus in
the Races" or something to that
effect.
The crowd howled in delight.

at East Lansing October 25. The
Titans will be met in the opening
contest. a night game, at U. of d.

Missing from the Tartar sched-
ule are two elevens Wayne has
been beating consistently-Buf-
falo and Akron. They have been
replaced by the Spartans and Uni
versity of Cincinnati. The Tartars
dropped a 21-0 contest two years
ago in their first meeting with
Cincinnati.
Although there has been a
strong rumor that Wayne would
move all its home games TO an
other gridiron. Coach Gembis said
yesterday it would continue using
Keyworth Stadium. If a plan to
install lighting equipment is ap-
proved by Hamtramck officials.
Wayne would engage in several
night games.
Wayne will encounter the heavi-
est portion of its schedule in the
first four games.

THE FOUR HoRsEMEN RIDE AGAIN

Again the four horsemen of the
apocalypse are riding, says the Journal of
the American Medical Association. "Once
more war, disease, hunger, and death de-
stroy mankind. The horsemen of today
travel with the increased speed of mechan-
lied transportation. Today the possible
ties for sudden and widespread outbreaks
Of disease arising far from their endemic
foci are more likely than ever previously"
News dispatches and other reports
from Europe are not comforting. Typhus
is being held in check only with the greatest
difficulty, and in some areas, notably POI
land and the Battles, this killer is rumored
to have reached serious epidemic proper
tions. Other potentially murderous en-
demic diseases are malaria, yellow fever
and plague. And the fact that we are far
from the battlefields and the stricken, starv-
ing nations does not give us assured protec-
ton.
AS the Journal also says: CLEARLY
the insulation of this country from the dis
ease consequences of war will provide a
colossal task and will require the most care
full planning and effort Fortunately for
the United States, we have the finest medi-
cal service in the world to act as our main
line of defense against the bacterial killers.
Nowhere else in the world has medical re-
search progressed so far. Nowhere else in
the world is the average doctor so we'll fitted
to perform the dual tasks of preventing and
curing disease.
The scientists are working to protect
you from the four horsemen. All of the
130.OOO,000 people in this country will
benefit.

AMAZING FACTS FROM A SPY TRIAL

The people DC the United States are
naturally interested in the work Of the
Federal Bureau Of investigation and will
no doubt be fascinated by details of the
trial Of sixteen spies now underway in the
Federal Courtroom in Brooklyn, New
York.
Among the revelations brought to
light, there IS the fact that in 1889 an AM
erican citizen. who had served as machine
gunner III the German Army during the
World War, was forced to become spy
while in Germany. Upon returning to this
country, he revealed ali facts to the govern
ment
AS result the FBI built a short-wave
station to establish communications with
the German spy-ring at Hamburg. For six
teen months, the G-men exchanged worth
less information about American defense
plans for valuable details Of the Nazi spy
activities in this country.
1t will also come as a.shock to the peo-
pie Of this country to be informed that, in
the opinion of Grmen, the Germans have
been in possession of our valuable Norden
bomb-sight for many months. It will be
remembered that quite furore was created
in this country at the mere suggestion that
the bomb-sight be turned over to the British
air force.
Now comes the revelation that it was
no secret at all in Berlin where complete
details had been delivered by nEemploye
Of the plant making the bomb-sight in this
country.

A MOVIE SHOW ON CAPITOL HILL

If there was anything lacking to make
the Senate investigation of the moving pic
ture industry interesting the gap was filled
when Wendell 4. Willkie appeared upon the
scene as counsel for producers who deny
that they have been putting out propaganda
films
Evidently the American public doesn't
see much difference between the films OF
1941 and those shown in movie-houses for
several years past. The most surprising
thing about them is that the general char
acter of films in the movies has not i'm
proved. The majority of shows are not
educational elevating or funny
Somebody may think Mr. Willkie has
job on his hands to prove the movies are M
nocent of running propaganda, but if they
are their purposes are so carefully con-
cealed that intelligent people can't discover
any motives. and morons are unable to I'M
derstand what it is all about.
Mr., Willkie has found a sounding
board on Capitol Hill with rich clients to
pay the bills.
