friend and teammates returned to
as head coach. Together
they rode to gridiron fame. The
last four years Blot was at Mich
igan were four of the greatest in
that institutions history. Blott's
fame spread with that of his boss.
Finally he received an offer TO
become head coach at Wesleyan.
He took it and left his friend
Harry Kipke.
MATERIAL FAILED
I'VE had four great teams"
Blot said in recalling his Mich
igan career. Then the entire
club graduated. The material
was slim and Kip fell upon bad
days. II was one of those things
that happen In the career OF a
great coach. The material falls
down and nothing can be done
about II.
While he was at Michigan he
was chief scout. When he saw q
game it was to work it.
"Of course, once or twice dur
ing the season, II possible, 1
would see the University Of De-

System Desirable as Long Range Measure for
 National Defense CONSTRUCTION NOW
 DECLARED JUSTIFIED
United States Is fo Finance ding-Reeommen-
 dations Are Made

WASHINGTON, Oct, 21.-Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson to- day announced support of the plan for a s25,oOo,ooo highway to AL aska "as desirable long range defense measure"
 ! The Secretary's support caused supporters of the road to decide to try to secure congressional ap- proval of the project before spring. Writing to Rep. Wilburn Cart wright tD.-Okla.), chairman of the House Roads Committee, Secretary Stimson declared that despite cer- tain limitations, military consider ations justified the construction of the highway under low prior ity rating" but from an evaluation of the trend of international affairs the highway now appears desirable as long range defense measure.
 To Amend Bills
 Stimson suggested that the high way bill to be presented to Con- gress, and any other bills concerned with the project, be amended, in asmuch as the United States gov- ernment will finance the highway, to provide for the construction by the Federal Works Administration.
 with this inolusion,' Stimscn concluded, mo further objection will be interposed to the bill"
 Rep. Warren D. Magnuson tD.- Wash), member ot the mternation- al Highway Commission and a per- sistent worker for the highway, said he shortly will introduce 7 new bill calling for the construc- tion. 2lA

detracts from the war effort against Russia and Britain. Sec- ond, it takes the effort of German occupying forces to hunt down the saboteurs.
 Every German soldier required to keep the peace in conquered country is man lost from the fighting front. Furthermore, he sometimes is a man lost from pro ductive enterprise in Germany proper, because it has been neces- sary to call up older reservists to replace young fighting men needed at the Russian front.
 Germany has shown no slacken- ing of her policy of militant re- prisal for sabotage and subversion. Hundreds have been shot by fir ing squads in pursuit of that pol icy, hostages admittedly innocent of the crimes for which they died.
 It's possible that sheer terror may deter conquered populations from further depredations. It's also possible that it won't. It hasn't to date.
 If it doesn't. the third front may turn out to be the extremely important.

 HULL ASKS REPEAL OF NEUTRALITY
 PROVISIONS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. - Secretary of State Cordell Hull said he believes the Neutrality Act provision, that bans Ameri- can merchant vessels from specified combat zones, should be repealed or modified" and he tossed this recommendation into the request that Congress repeal now another section which prohibits arming of ships.
 Secretary Hull said:
 "When American ships are being wantonly and uniawfully attacked in a complete disre- garG for life and property. it is absolutely absurd to f0reg0 any legitimate measures that may be helpful to seIf-defense.
 Tt is especially absurd to continue to tie our hands by a provision of law which pro- hA5its arming American mcr- chant vessels for their own de- fense."

Price Control Measure, Other Important |ssues
 Now Before Congress
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l ' Con- gress is back on the job. Theoreti- cally of course. it has never been off. but actually since the passage of the defense tax bill the gentle men have been on a holiday.
 Most went back home to do pulse-taking and fence mending There are straws in the wind indi- eating that contact with the voters is going to change votes in the House and Senate = hints that perhaps there will not be so much opposition to the administrators foreign policy--and stronger op- position to non-defense spending.
 Congress takes these unofficial holidays by a simple expediency. According to the rules, neither house can adjourn for more than three days. Majority and minority leaders in both houses make a gentlemen's agreement that no controversial matters will be brought up. Then on Mondays and Thursdays, or Tuesdays and Fridays, the House and Senate go through their formalities.
 A handful of stay-behinds as- semble. Routine business is tram sacted-"by unanimous consent and this is possible because the majority and minority leaders are always on hand to see that the opposition doesn't slip something over. Since it only takes one T object" to knock unanimous consent" into the middle of the next real session. it's only neces- sary for a few good party watch dogs to be on hand. Most of the members of Congress are away.
 Now that period is over Con- gress hasn't reassembled in recent years with observers more keenly observant, or the political, de- partmental, and administrative leaders more eager to know what direction the legislative tide is going to take.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-More than a year ago, the State De- partment was warned that the younger army officers of Argen- tina were pro-Hitler and ripe for revolution.
 Recently, however, the revolt came. Furthermore, it was more serious than appeared on the sur face, for one of the conspirators was Major Grisolia, an Argentine airman brought to the LISA. at our expense and trained in Texas last year. We had made no dent on him or on many other young army officers in important posi- tions. They were definitely pro- Nazi.
 However, the Argentine people definitely are not. They are vigor- ously pro-U.S.A. In fact during the past six months an over whelming tide of sentiment has welled up for the United States.
 This is unique, because the Unit ed States, despite all the hullaba- loo about the Good Neighbor poli- cy has done almost nothing to WOO Argentina except slap her in the face when it comes to her most

tBY ASSOCIATED PREsS)

German and Italian troops, smashing at Russia's vital Donet River industrial basin, are report ed to have captured Stalino, 100 miles northwest of Rostov, while on the Central Front the Russians appear to be stemming the Nazi's drive on Moscow amid series Df huge scale tank and infantry pat ties.
 Stalino Captured
 Stalino is city of 450,000 popu- lation and lies on one of the two main rail lines between Moscow and the great Caucasian oil fields
 A special bulletin from Hitler's field headquarters, describing Sta- limo as one of the most important armament centers of the Donet Basin, said the Axis forces took the surrounding region and Sta lino was taken by Alpinists.' This might mean either German or Ital- ian troops.

 Soviet dispatches acknowledge Marshal Budennys Ukraine armies are desperately pressed by intensi- fled Nazi assaults and have been forced to withdraw to new lines near Taganrog, only 30 miles west of Rostov.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Adolf Hitler has finally shown symp- toms of the disease that has af- fected all the dictators who pre- ceded him in world history. It's conqueror's smallpox.
 In this war, conqueror's small pox is a third front. The first is the English Channel. The second is Russia.
 Conqueror's smallpox is the malady brought on by people who are willing to risk their lives to protest conquest. So far, Hitler has not caught the disease in its most virulent form. Most inter- national observers suspect the outbreak in European states may be premature, and will not be- come violent at this time.
 There are several reasons:
 Hitler has more powerful anti dotes than any previous dictator ever had. The airplane and the tank can do more to stop revolt than any other weapons of history. Rifles and small arms are pop guns against planes and tanks.
 In the second place, the out break is not well enough organ ized to impede Hitler's war ef- forts. It is too sporadic.
 Meanwhile Hitler has an ex- cuse to kill off leaders in nations where revolts have occurred, to- gether with their tools"
 How and why no dictator ever escapes this disease is mystery peculiar to history. Tons and tons of literature have been written about it, but none of the explana- tions is wholly satisfactory.
 Outstanding example of ruler who suffered from conqueror's smallpox is Charles V, the first king who actually tried to set UP United States of Europe.
 In his old age, Charles V stayed in the saddle for months on end, in a desperate attempt to hold together the nations he had con- quered. At last he gave up, and rotirad t0 O rnNnqctarV
 Most historians suspect the chief symptom of conqueror's smallpox is an unfilterable virus known as the spirit of nationalism." Noth- ing seems able to kill this spirit if it has the will to live. Genghis Khan, Alexander, Napoleon could not muster enough terror, enough force of arms to kill that spirit.
 Draw ring around the places where major incidents of anti Nazi rebellion have flared. Despite cen- sorship, the showing is impressive. How many hundreds of unmen- toned, minor-but ultimately ex- hausting-incidents have occurred nobody knows,
 Every incident is doubly de- bilitating to Germany. First, it
