The lanky Layden, never
known to be overly talkative,
assumed a strict self-imposed
silence as pro circles debated
the legality of his appointment
and collegiate ranks pondered
his successor at Notre Dame,
where the athletic board meets
tomorrow.
The procedure followed in
making the appointment ap-
parently caused the squabble
among pro owners. Boiled down,
IL appears that a committee dell
egated to interview three pros
talking to only two, recommends
ing Layden precipitately be-
cause his contract at Notre Dame
had expired. -
Bell and George Halas, owner
of the Chicago Bears, formed
the interviewing committee. The
situation was explained thusly
by Halas:
"A majority Of the club own

Unite FOR Free Speech

THE American people are UNITED to man on the
question of national defense against possible invasion
1t should also be UNITED right to disagree
with another.
1T should be UNITED in its determination NEVER
allow the executive branch of the to dictate
to the legislative branch.
It should be UNITED on an indestructibe two-party
system--an opposition in perpetuity
1t should be UNITED AGAINST any party in power
that seeks to limit the freedom of the press, radio or
speech. -
1t should be UNITED on the doctrine that the will of
the people is paramount
1t should be UNITED its inalienable right to criti
CHE any proposed by Congress the President
1t should be UNITED for AMERICA FIRST and FOR
AMERICA ALL THE TIME.
people that thinks alike votes alike and says yes
yes all executive mandates is longer living in free
democracy
1t is no longer a FREELY UNITED people
1t is enslaved people.
The administration continually calling for united
people,"
1t should define what it means by united"
Does united people mean united for Mr.. Roose-
velt?"
Does it mean united for the New Deal?
Does it united for financing the world and all
the revolutions and wars thereof?
On these things should NOT BE UNITED
The thing which must be united is the
preservation of democratic right to individual opinion
We be united in support of free speech and free
publication for without them there will be neither liberty
nor democracy

No 'FoIIy as Usual

DUREAUCRATS federal, state and local, should take
- to heart President Roosevelts admonon that full
defense production is not consistent with business as
usual"
If private enterprises to be expected to modify
policies and practices the good then govern
nent, which is everybodys business, should set an
Example.
Government has an opportunity to contribute to
national strength in and in peace through eliminating
wastefu and extravagant expenditures.
The need for such rugaty in government is chronic,
but the requirement of billions for defense production
makes the requirement for economy in normal
OUTLAWS of government especially acute
IN FOLLOWING up this demand which the Hearst
/ papers have been making, the National Economy
League is to be commended for working out bill OF par
cuars for nondefense savings by the federal govern
ment Similar specific studies should be made for the
various states and localities.
In presenting a survey showing precisely how the
federal government make for enlarged defense
expenditures through a saving of $20430O00O0 in nom
defense OUTLAWS in the coming fiscal year. beginning July
l next and an extra S400,0o0000 in the remaining six
months of the current fiscal Ernest Angel chairman
of the league enlivens his recommendation with lively
hrase-makng.
In the face of the extraordinary defense needs, he
points out perhaps equalng the previous level of
defense expenditures, there is justification for
policy of "foly as usual"
He adds
"The only logical and effective way to reduce
expenditures without mparing essential services is to
examine each item in departmental budgets and to cut
out all those whose contribution to national defense

IN ADDITION to economies in the expenditures of the
i regular federal departments, the league pointed to
opportunities saving in public works. relief and agri
culture
The details are set forth in scientific brochure
entitled "Indefensibe Spending.

should tamper Once we tried to
manipulate some of these hang
ingS and we got all tangled up in
them and almost suffocated be-
fore we were rescued. besides
pulling down the valance box or
cornicc or whatever the dickens
it is they call them.
II was at this time that the
thought of a movement which
we are now about TO propose
first took form in our mind.
Gentlemen, we think we ought
TO organize to free ourselves
from our enslavement in uphol-
stored caves, and demand a re-
turn to the simplicity of the
good old roller curtain.
While it sometimes presented
the hazard of spontaneous COM
bustion and the revelation of
US to a gaping world in embar-
RAISING situations, nonetheleSs
it let in light in profusion when
run up; and did not involve
fighting through silken morass
to get the window open.
WE THINK we should appoint
w a committee TO go through
the land tearing down impede
ments to light and air, else we
will all wind up with kleig eyes
from living under electric lights
and develop weak chests from
lack of ozone.
1t seems TO us shameful sit
uation that finds a gentleman
living in a house or apartment
of many windows unable to tell
the time of day by the outer
light if the clock happens to
stop.
So far the ladies have con-
cerncd themselves only with
windows in dwelling places and
many gentlemen rent offices in
high buildings down town that
they may enjoy the light and
air that is denied admission TO
their homes.
But this practice presents a
grave danger. A gentleman con-
templating the thought of leav-
ing the light and air of his Of
fee windows and returning 10
the dungeon of his home may
develop melancholia and sud-
denly step out into the ether
with disastrous consequences.
But enough. Gentlemen, are
you with us or against us?

Emba++Ied Males Called
To Restore Windows Glory
BY DAMON RUNYONl

THIS is another of those &C.
i casions when we must re-
quest our gentlemen readers to
move over here into corner
with us out of earshot of the
ladies that we may quietly and
nationally discuss matter tina.
we are sure is of deep concern
to all mankind. 1t is about
windows.
As we understand it. windows
are for the purpose of admitting
light and air We have consulted
numerous authorities and can
find no other reasons of any
soundness for windows.
They are not for the purpose
of ingress or egresS, save, of
course, for burglars. They are
slightly decorative. but a house
without windows could probably
be made quite attractive to the
eye.
No. there can be no argument
as to the fundamental idea of
windows. Light and air Air and
light. As far back as the first
human habitationS there were
windows, or holes in the. walls
that served the same purpose.
Light and air. Air and light.
1t was at a comparatively late
stage of civilization that WIN
dows became observation posts
for children and elderly males
and females. And. this function
cannot be rated in importance
with the primary theory of light
and air. 1t is wholly incidental.
Well, then, somewhere along
the march of time, gentlemen,
our friends the ladies cast their
lovely orbs upon the windows
and commenced to reflect. on
what could be done with them.
They began experimenting.
The result is incredible. With
an ingenuity that borders on the
diabolic. the ladies have finally
succeeded in completely blotting
out the original purpose of win
dows. Light and air. Air and
light.
TIIEY have managed TO eX-
l. clude from window the
vaguest ray of light and the
slightest breath of air. They
have done this without walGng
up the windows. which would
have been cheaper, but we sup
pose the ladies feared this might
have attracted the attention of
us gentlemen to their fiendish
design and aroused an early
protest.
From the outside windows
still seem TO be windows. But
when YOU get inside you see at
once that the exterior impress
sion is strictly an illusion. The
windows are not there. or at
least they are not diScernlblc,
and certainly They are not per-
forming the duties of windows.
They are cunnlngly masked be-
hind screens. venetian blinds,
glass curtains and what used TO
be called draperies.
We are told that the present
term is hangings. In fact. we are
given to understand that if you
went into certain heightened
New York shops and asked for
draperies they would denounce
you as parVenu.
These frang1nEs can be the
most expensive items in house
furnishings. which we imagine is
because they have greater utility
than anything Vet devised in
keeping out light and air.
They are something with which
no inexperienced gentlemen
