Football Gives Fortmon
Chonce to Be Doctor

Sitting on the bench you look at
Danny Fortman, the star guard of
the Chicago Bears.
Danny in his harness is burly-
appearing individual who doesn't
seem to be headed anywhere in
particular-off the football field. But
Danny graduated at the head of his
school at the age of 16. He grad
uated from Colgate at the age of
20 summa cum laude. He was a
brilliant student.
He is using pro football to obtain
his medical degree and there GER
tainly is no student in the Ivy
League who has more ability or
greater ambition.
He is one of the great football
guards of his era-Smart, keen, ag-
greSSive, alert, and physically
powerful. He is an exceptional
medical student who almost Is Ger
tain to go a long way in his pro-
fession.
Pro football has done a great JOB
for these college graduates who
otherwise might have been left out
in the blizzard of the depression
1t has given them the chance to
make enough money to carry out
their earlier dreams. I don't mean
all of them. I mean a great many
Of them.
It gave Sammy Baugh and Dick
Todd and many others the chance
to carry out their hope for home

IN addition to his pro football was
receiving $4,000 year as a salesman
with one fthe bigger companies.
"I had to live until I got the job
he told me- land happened to love
football"
There is one piece of advice all
these pros are willing to give those
who are thinking about the pro
game.
Don't try it, unless you love
football. There must be easier ways
to make a living. But have some
thing else in sight, and work on
that. Plan on ahead for what you d
like to do. Don't ever think you
are going to be pro star for more
than five or six years. But in those
seven off months, try to get ready
for the work you'd like to handA"

Only a few German planes flew

London had its third raid-free

The air and home security min
istries said few bombs dropped on
eastern England, damaging homes
and causing some casualties.
Lord Beaverbrooks statement
that Britain has more bombing and
fighting planes than at any prev

tional strength had passed above
a total of $4,000 planes, with a first
line strength of 5000. This was the.
approximate strength at the end
of the last war. Authoritative Brit
ish sources estimate that Germany
has now an operational strength of
$4,000 planes and a first line of
5000.
AT the time Lord BeaVerbrook
made his statement, the aircraft
production ministry disclosed that
it was now receiving deliveries of
four motored bombers flown from
the United States. The first types
to arrive were Consolidated Liber-
ators

planes massed in secret storehouseS

types of planes had been brought

Mason Says Russia
Cannot Sign Full
Pact With Tokyo
BY J. w. 4. MASON
United Press War Expert

No Russo japanese non-aggreS-
sion pact, OF unlimited validity, can
possibly result from the presence
IN Moscow OF Yosuka Matsuoka,
Japan's foreign minister, VINO is en-
route to Berlin. The triple alliance
effectively bars Japan from
pledge of durable peace with Rus
Sla, apart from whatever inherited
mutual SuSpicision exist between
the two countries.
Under the terms of the triple
alliance, Japan is pledged to give
all possibly military aid to Ger
many, If the Germans are attacked
by any nation that was neutral in
the present war when the alliance
was signed last September. This
means that if Russia moves against
Germany, the Japanese must be-
come hostile to the Russians.
A on-aggression pact, however,
would pledge Russia and Japan not
to attack each other. Such an
agreement, if unlimited in scope,
would mean JapanS reputation of
her responsibilities under the tri-
plice.
MatSuoka has been frank in stat
dng publicly that his country will
abide by the terms of the triple
alliance. He has mace this assertion
several times and Moscow reports
quote hlm as saying that the tri-
plice lis the pivot of japanese for
eign policy"
That declaration. marking Mat
suoka'S arrival in the Russian capi-
lal, cannot give any pleasure to the
soviet government. 1t is difficult,
indeed, to interpret the japanese
1orelgn minister's open statement
as being other than a warning to
Russia not to become embroiled
against the Axis.
When Japan signed the triple
alliance, there could be no oues-
ton about Tokyo's expectation that
German influences would persuade
Russia to adopt a policy of amity
toward Japan. Had that followed
Japan would have had valuable
gain and tangible asset to balance
somewhat her promise to aid To
Germany IN the event of the spread
OF the European war.
Events have turned out otherwise.
The Russians. like the United
States, have no recourse but to in
terpret the tripltce as being poten-
TALLY directed against themselves.
If Stain were to agree to a full
non-agrression pact with the jap
anese. it would mean he had
thrown in fausSla'S lot with the
Axis. That in turn would be tan
tamount to recognizing Hitler's su-
premacy in Europe, which Russia
cannot do with any honest intent
of abiding by such a decision.
