MOTHER DOESN'T WANT US TO HAVE ANY PART OF WAR
 IN EUROPE
Editor, Waterbury Democrat;

Editor, Waterbury Democrat;
 MT. Frederick osborne of New Haven told the graduating class of New Haven Y. M. o. A. Junior class that we should give all aid to Eng land even if 1t means war. He is speaking for himself not for the American people who do not want war. We were told the same thing In the last war that we would have Q lasting peace. We will never have the peace and security that we want, while England Is allowed to decide and dictate what we should and what we should not do. We don't want to send our youth over there to die. We want them kept here to defend our country and all this propaganda about the coun- try being invaded Is Q lot of Eng l!sh propaganda. Anything to get us In the war.
 MT. Osborne says we would have e well-equipped British army fight- ing by our side. Well, if 1t would be anything like the army that was sent to help Greece and a lot more of the conquered countries one could do very well without them. We lost the flower of our country in the last war and l doubt If we were In the position England is in today we would not dare ask her help for we would not get 1t. They promised help to every country that was invaded, but 1t was too late.
 President Roosevelt says we would rather die fighting on our feet than kneeling down. Well, he and his sons won't do the fighting or Churchill, either. They will be far away when that time comes. We are not going to send our boys to fight all over the world and if our President got in on his third term with promise to the Mothers of America, let him keep that promise. How can he expect the American people to be united behind him when he has broken every promise he made. If Willkie and Churchill and Knox and Simp- son, our number one war-mongers, want war, why let them get on Q ship and go over and destroy Hit Ter. But, no, the towards, they want our American boys to do che job for them.
 How can Americans expect to have any friends in the world when our government is allowing these war; inongers to insult every nation that England is against. Can't we stand on our owE feet and defend our own shores9 When she is attack ed why do we allow English propa- galida to irlcite our peaceful coun- try Into war and why do we allow Secretary Ickes to throw q scare into our people, telling IS about gasless Sundays and shortage of oil. All lies and nothing else. Clamp down on British propa- ganda as well as German because 1t has done more harm in Amer lea than ali the German machine has ever done. You mothers that have sons, do you stop to think of what these war-m0ngers are d0- ing. Well, you better before 1t is too late. AS MT. Osborne says, we have only . few weeks to decide. We'll, we American people have al- MANB 6aelda AAAin4k wAz sud we

Summer traffic conditions of Satur- day morning are becoming complicated again. For a time the parking meters seemed to have helped out, but this past Saturday morning was extremely hard on driver, pedestrian, and particularly the traffic cops. Theirs is difhcult task, a thankless one for the most part. Whether or not use of free parking places not too far removed from shopping dis tricts would help out we're not sure, but they might.

Frank A. JamieSon, now assist ant to Nelson Rockefeller, once covered the Lindbergh Kidnapping case. For 72 days he followed 1t with Q feVerish enthusiasm that only a newsinan knows-with c hot story and heavy competition.
 He was covering from Trenton. when the body of the child was found, New Jersey State Police sent word to the press in Tren- ton that they had an important story to release, at he garage of he Lindbergh estate at Hopewell.
 The newsmen all set off-except one. Frank Jamieeon had 6 hunch. While the others drove out of Trenton, Jainieson remain ed behind. He picked up the tele- phone and called the home of Governor Moore in Jersey City. He knew Moore. He asked him to call the State Police at Hopewell and find out what the news was. No one but the Governor could get a phone call through to the police in the Lindbergh home.
 Moore was willing. He called the police, learned that the body had been found, and reiayed the news to Jamieson. who flashed 1t to his office. Thus he was able to get the story into print while his colleagues were still driving oyer the roads to Hopewell.
 Then yamleson got into his
 car and followed the others. He

Football Team Has Not Won a Game for Past
 Two Years

Brownwood, Texas, Oct. 30.-(UP) Applaud as you. will those un- beaten Texas Steamrollers, the Ag- gies, the Longhorns and the Tech Red Raiders, but save one cheer for Texas football team that isn't doing so well.
 Hold back one for the Daniel Ba- ker Hill Billies. They need it.
 It was two years ago, a bright and beautiful day, that Daniel Baker played McMurry College of Abilene and won, 12 to o.
 That November fourth is a menl- orable date for the Hill Billies; they haven't won football game since.
 Eighteen straight they have lost, and the Billies haven't scored since October 26, 1940, when the Texas A. & I. college safety fumbled punt and Daniel Baker tackle fell on the ball for touchdown. That game the Billies lost just 38 to 6.
 This year they held Trinity Uni versity to 13-0, but were walloped $40 by Auztin College, 48-0 by Abilene Christian College, and even knocked off 45-0 by a junior col lege from San Angelo.
 In their last game, the Billies net ted five yards CA gained rushing, l9 lost: no passes completed) Abi- lene Christian gained 467. First downs were 15 to zero.

Lineman at Marquette Also Helps Mother With

 New York, oct. 3o-(UP)-Press- box batter:
 Would you ever expect to tackle an opposing lineman in a football game and discover he was your Sunday School teacher2 Well, 1t could happen if you played against Marquette University. Dick Brye, a product of Milwaukee North Division high school, is the regular right tackle on the varsity of the Golden Avelenche. Big, rough, tough and aggressive, Brye is a Lutheran Sunday School teacher and also helps l1ls widowed mother with her cooking and housework.
 Reams of publicity come out of the university mills about their gridiron heroes but here's something on the football dads. At Marquette, ! salesmen are most numerous, among the fathers of the players. The ros- ter shows the following: 8 sheriff, detective, pressman, electrician, newspaper circulation manager, rail- road engineer, shipping clerk, &C., countant, estimator, two manufac- turers and a physician, Seven of the Hintopers have widowed mothers.
 Larry MacPhail Busy
 Baseball activity is currently at its lowest ebb but Larry MacPhail president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, will furnish the first rtade news be- fore the snow flies. .. He is chiefly interested in acquiring Arky Vaughn of Pittsburg, one of the best short stops the National League has ever had and a consistently good hitter. scheduled to go to third base for Brooklyn. Outfielder Danny Lit whiler of the Philadelphia Phillies is another man the Dodgers would like to have. Only a freshman last season, Litwhiler banged 18 home runs and wound up the campaign with an average of .305.
 How would you like to see the Chicago Bears, class of the National professional football league, play the Minnesota Gophers, pride of OS "SeAN WI but the final score would look some- thing like this-Bears 48, Minnesota 10. So the experts say.
 There has been some talk that the major leagues would be asked to curtail the 1942 season in July. Why? If a sport like hockey, which is threatened with virtual extinction by the wars reverberations can play a full season, there seems no reason for halting baseball. Hockey, despite a ruling of the Canadian govern ment that players of draft age may not cross the border into the United states, has gone ahead and schedul- ed the opening game Nov. l.

 One of the most ardent boosters of the move to bring major league baseball franchise to Los Angeles is film star Joe. E. Brown. He gives as
