Marshall, owner of the Washington
Redskins, would like to make
wager that his big professional team
will outdraw any other squad in the
country, college or pro, and that it
will equal it's best year in this re-
spect.
Whether or not he can outdraw
Notre Dame is still part of future
happenings. Frank Leahy has one
of his finest squads at South Bend,
and from the present outlook he will
play to capacity in most of his con-
tests. This will be true against
Army, Michigan, Navy, Northwest
ern and Southern California. Capac-
ity won't be far away against the
others, including Stanford, Iowa
Naval Cadets and the Great Lakes
squad.
1t would not be surprising to see
Notre Dame close to the half mil
lion mark.

ALASKAN ATTACKS


mittee got some encoura ging news
when it met behind closed doors to
hear the report of a subcommittee
which has returned from an inspec-
ton tour of our Alaskan fortifca-
lions.
For military reasons, the greater
part of the report cannot be re-
vealed. However, this much can be
told
The subcommittee, composed of
Senators Happy Chandler of Ken
lucky, Mon Wallgren of Washington
and Rufus Holman of Oregon, was
unanimous in declaring that our
aerial defenses in Alaska were
strong enough to repel any attempt
ed Jap invasion.
Remarkable progress has been
made since Pearl Harbor in estab-
fishing new land and sea bases in
the Alaskan area. The three sena-
tors also paid high tribute to the
morale and skill of U. S. airmen,
who are forced to fly in the worst
kinds of weather conditions.
Though refusing to predict on how
soon we can start an about air Of
fensive to drive the Japs from their
footholds in the Aleutians, the SUBJ
committee reported that one OBJ
stacle which has been holding up
such an offensive has now been
licked.
Hitherto we have been unable to
send protective conveys of fighting
planes with bombers raidipg Jap
positions in the Aleutians, because
our fighters do not have the flying
range for the 1,000-mile round trip
from the army base at Umnak is
land, nearest outpost to the Japs.
However, this problem has been
solved by the installation of "belly"
gas tanks on fighters. They carry
several hundred gallons of fuel and
can be dropped after they are
emptied.
The subcommittee also reported
that interference with army and
navy radio communications in the
Alaskan area, caused by bad wealth.

ing largely circumvented by COM

! BUSINESS CRUSADER

LITTLE BUSINESS CRUSADER
Donald Nelson's "get tough" pol
icy gets increasingly unfortunate
reverberations. Part of this is be-
cause Donald, nice as he is, and
well liked as he is, just doesn't seem
to have knack for feeling the pub
lie pulse.
For instance, he should have
known that the most popular man
in Washington, as far as little bust
ness is concerned, is Guy Holcomb,
head of the justice departments
small business bureau. Yet Nelson
reached into the justice department
and demanded that the attorney
general fire Holcomb. The reaction
against Nelson has been bad.
Nelson had no jurisdiction over
the justice department., and it is
unusual for one executive to reach
into the affairs of an outside office.
However, Holcomb has been con-
sistently critical of WPB's failure
to award war contracts to little bust
ness; his cracks got on Nelson's
nerves, and he demanded that the
attorney general fire him. So to
keep peace in the official family, Hol-
comb was permitted to resign"
Actually, Holcomb was hustling
young business man from Atlanta,
Ca, who knew nothing about red
tape, spurned bureaucracy and went
around saying exactly what he
thought Of people who seemed to
be lying down on the job. Result:
He made a lot of enemies, but he
got an awful lot done for little bust
ness.
For instance, he discovered that
only three companies in the entire
United States got all the contracts
for putting boilers in merchant
ships.

Naval Cadet Teams

The Georgia and North Carolina
Naval Cadet teams will attract fully
as much interest as any college
squad, especially if they can get
away with fair success. They are
still CANDLES to a certain extent,
but they won't be weak. They
are taking the hardest training in
any service for future flying, and
will be physically ready for even
their starting assignments. They
are all ably coached, and they all
have the heart and the fire to give
all their systems can carry.
The major cities, such as New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, San Francisco,
etc., will draw big crowds. The
smaller bowls or stands that call
for automobile transportation will
have rougher road ahead. There
also will be less railroad travel on
the spectators side.

Close to the Top

Pennsylvania, with a hard nine
game schedule and the outlook for
first-class team, should be close
to the leaders in packing them in.
Philadelphia is one of the best of
all football cities.
Michigan is another team facing
big attendance year. The VOL
verines won't be far from the front
with such teams to meet as Great
Lakes, Michigan State, Iowa Naval
Cadets, Northwestern, Minnesota,
Illinois, Harvard, Notre Dame, Ohio
State and Iowa. This is what you
might easily label package of
heavy trouble. 1t is close to being
the hardest schedule in the country.

such backs as Tommy Kuzma and

Axis infantry supported by artil-
lery and with tanks massed behind
them, slipped forward to attack
British guns which had been holding
up the advance. Just as the Axis
armor was about to enter the battle
the British attacked on the
German flank, diverted the tanks

Reports that Marshal Rommel was
attempting to dig into positions
along the northern end of the Ell
Alamein line came from the desert
last night. These were followed by
the communique announcing cap
ture of 40 Axis cannon.
While there was no disposition
here to minimize the continuing
threat to Egypt, it was felt that the
heavily reinforced British Army had
recovered from the defeats it suf-
fered across $50 miles of desert and
was doing battle with full confidence
in it's weapons and leadership.

ports that fifth columnists were re-
sponsible for the submarine tor
pedoing of two Mexican tankers.
He was in Mexico under the name
of Alfonso Graft. Police indicated
his only attempt at disguise was to
shave off his Hitler-like moustache.
There was no explanation for his
presence in a coastal town where
surveillance was being frightened be-
cause of national defense precau-
tions and mounting U-boat activity
in the Gulf of Mexico.
Authorities indicated the extreme
secrecy with which his case was
handled was occasioned by possible
ramifications of his movements.
His identity was not confirmed
until it was said he had been placed
aboard the regular midday plane
for the United States today. He
was accompanied by two secret

Girl u. 5. Worker Alive
After Eight-Story Fall

A 2l-year-old Government clerk
recently transferred from Washing

ical condition last night after plung-
ing from an eighth-story Office win
dow.
The girl, Gloria Pannunzio, &C
cording to the Associated Press,
plunged from the window because
she thought she had failed in her
work, although she actually was
slated for a promotion within two
weeks. She came here in February,
l941. to work for the Labor Depart
ment and lived at 1925 Connecticut
avenue NV. She was transferred
several months ago at her own re-
quest.
A note found in her desk after her
fall and addressed to her mother in
Brooklyn said, please forgive me
and do not grieve. I've failed at my
work and wouldn't want to go on
anywhere else"
She still was alive last night at
Roosevelt Hospital, but little hope
was held for her recovery.

The general disclosed that the
Germans last fall had believed they

He listed the defending forces as

The Germans had to advance by
hard fighting all the way, he stated,
