Britain Counts on A. {. F.,
Philip La Toilette Says
BY the Associs ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
STAMFORD, Conn, July "a
Philip F. La Toilette, former Gov
ernor of Wisconsin. declared in an
address at an America First Com
mittee rally last night that Britain
not only counted on new A. E. F.,
but expected American troops to aid
In policing Germany for a genera
ton.
Lord Halifax in his New York
speech before the Pilgrims and now
Sir Robert Vansittart tell us what
they propose after the war shall
have been won with an A. E. F."
Mr.. La Toilette said. 1T is a gen.
Grafton of American and British
occupation of Europe-to take the
present generation of Germans
into protective custody
In other words, Americas role
for a generation to come will be
simply this: To place 10000, 900 Ger
mans in a gigantic concentration
camp and stand guard over them
until the whole of the present gen.
Grafton will have died. Then, and
only then, will our European assign
ment be completed-that is, if Eu-
rope is not by then in the midst Of
a new and bloodier war generated
by the peace terms of the present
conflict.
This, then, is how the ruling
class of Great Britain emissions our
role in carrying the four freedoms
to Europe at cost of millions of
American lives and the bankruptcy
OF the American people"

Business Federation
Protests Removal Of
Federal Agencies
Expanding Boundaries
Of City Suggested
As Possible Solution

Opposition to removal of any
Government departments to other
sections of the country was voiced
by the Federation of BuSinessmens
Associations at a meeting in the
Hay-Adams House last night.
Fairfax Oyster, author of the
motion, and Victor Perlmutter, men,
ber of the Southeast Businessmen's
Association, contended the city'S
boundaries should be enlarged if
necessary rather than move any
part of it's agencies to other cities.
Mr. Oyster stated he was afraid this
would be impossible, however, with
out a vote in the District, because
Maryland and Virginia residents
would not want to give up their
right to vote by becoming a part
of a votelesS city"
Louis L. BoWdler, president, sup
porting the motion, said rent, build
or buy property to house the Fed
eral Government here: it would
cost less than to move it elsewhere"
Francis c. Heigle, of Central,
assailed any movement of govern
ment departments as the work OF
certain Government leaders to bene-
fit their own home towns and cities"
Police Criticized.
D. D. Sherman. president OF the
Cleveland Park BusineSSmen'S AS
sociation, criticized the District
police force for its apparent laxity
in coping with crime here. Others
told of the 'pitifully small number
of police officers in the District"
Miss Gertrude Demonet, vice
president of the Washington Hair
dressers' Association, was supported

The question of admitting Mary
land and Virginia trade associations
to membership was tabled until the

Wyche not only includes all vital

"I think the boys will do much

with the necessity of a play-off."
Old Connie Is beginning to talk

turning out well-rounded teams for
a decade now, teams that win more

not be idle chatter. The roster he
includes is weighty evidence to
bolster the patter.

Still edging toward the Eastern
Amateur Hockey League champion
ship, with each Washington victory
crushing Baltimore hopes like tram
pied trash, the Eagels are visioning
the fulfillment of twin goals, and
they aren't seeing double.
Owning a string of eight games
without defeat, the Eagles would
relish prolonging that streak to at
least a dozen decisions, or enough
to surpass their previous mark of
II games without suffering the ig-
nominy of a licking.
This has been happy season for
the Eagles. Center Norm Burns
has established an all-time Eastern
League goal-scoring record, attend
ance has doomed and unless there
is a drastic reversal of form the
players will pocket bonus for win
ming the championship.
Baltimore in Tough Spot.
Baltimore's defending champions
are in the unenviable spot Of virtual
ly being forced to sweep their re-
naming 10 games even to retain a
chance of repeating. Even should
that unlikely event materialize
Washington still can lose two of its
last IL games and cop the crown,
The Eagles have experienced the
satisfaction Of shaking off slump
and recovering their talented touch.
Midway In the season, after compil-
ing a seemingly prombitive early
lead, the Eagles hit the skids and
we're supplanted in first place by
the orioles.
They bounced back and while
they now can't coast to the title the
Eagles at least are satisfied it will
necessitate somewhat of a minor
miracle for Baltimore to overhaul
them. The Eagles still aren't "in," "
but the door is wide open and it ap-
pears only a matter of time and
mathematics before they clinch the
crown.
The more than 10000 fans who
have seen the Eagles in action at
Riverside have no complaint con-
corning the club, for Washington

CowIey Gains Assist
Mark, Helps Bruins
Take Hockey Lead
b. the Associated Press.

Bill Cowley, Bostons brilliant
center, finally has set new National
Hockey League record for assists,
and that's probably of more lasting
Importance than the fact the Bruins
beat the Chicago Blackhawks, 80,
last night to take the league lead,
or that the New York Rangers
routed the Detroit Red Wings, 60,
to tie Detroit for third place.
Those two standing changes prob
ably won't last, but Cowley's record
is likely to stand up good many
years. He has been called the last
of the great stick handlers. and
there's certainly no one in the league
now who approaches him as play
maker.
Cowley drew assists on two goals
last night to bring his season total
to 38, one more than the record that
had stood up since Joe Primeau of
Toronto established it nine years
ago. Cowley also has made IA goals
for So points this season and has
nearly clinched the years scoring

6. w. and Mount Rainier
Blair and HyottsviIIe
In CoIorfuI Show
By BILL DIsMER, Jr.

Their fancies captured by four
unusually good and snartly uni
formed girls basket ball teams,
hundreds of high school fans are
planning to return to Ritchie
Coliseum tonight to see determined
the finalists of The Stars annual
Metropolitan tournament.
In view Of what has happened this
season, the opening game between
Mount Rainier and George WASH
ington of Alexandria is rated an
even-money affair with Hyattsville
only a slight favorite to beat Mont
gomery Blair in the nightcap. Play
begins at 7:30 o'clock.
G. w. undoubtedly turned in the
most impressive performance last
night when, before probably the
largest crowd ever attracted by girls
teams in this vicinity, ii turned on
the heat in the last half to rout
Bethesda Chevy Chase, 800. But
the Mounts, who won their 10th
game in 81 starts by whipping st
Cecilia, POT, already have beaten
George Washington twice this sea-
son; once by one point and again by
four. Some observers thought they
showed the best teamwork of any OF
last nights four victors. Their
craftsmanship, however, was inferior
to G. WIS.
Fairfax, Sherwood Die Hard.
Even as G. w. and Mount Rainier
had comparatively easy opening
games, so were both Blair and
Hyattsville, paired tonight, given
rather close calls by Fairfax and
Sherwood in the opening round. A
last-quarter rally enabled Blair tc
come from behind to beat Fairfax
1914, while Sherwood lost a half
time advantage of / point to bow
to Hyattsville, 1922. The latter
game, incidentally, produced two OF
the outstanding individual stars OF
the night. No one came close to
matching the II points Hildur
Reeves scored for Hyattsville while
Virginia Browns all-around game
for the losers was notable.
A 14-point spree in the second
period by Mount Rainier put the
opening game beyond reach of St
Cecilia, but the latters spirited STU
dent body never stopped cheering or
singing and its team came back in
the second half to battle the Mounts
to a standstill.
Two foul shots by Betty OFT con-
stituted the whole scoring of the
first period, but she found the cords
for three field goals in the second
and other points by Eva Adamson
gave Mount Rainier a 1872 lead at
intermission.
st. Cecilia outscored its con-
queror. to 4, in the third stanza
and close guarding by both sides
produced a scoreless last quarter
Theresa McQuillan, who has cap
tained and done most Of the coach
ing of st. Cecilia this season, was
the only member of her team tc
score a field goal. She made three
