Undecided
On Letting Baugh
Run With Oval
Sammy Might Be Heavy
Asset Against Beers
As Lueeer Of Boil

Ray Flaherty hasn't made up his
mind whether Sammy Baueh will be
strictly pitcher or possibly a run
ner, too, when the Eastern champs
line up against the Bears for the
pro football crown at Griffith Sta
dlum December 13, but the chances
are Sam will do nothing but toss
the oval
Flaherty and the Tribe are work.
ing in few changes in strategy
this week but nothing drastic. The
real tuning up process will not get
under way until after the Detroit
game Sunday and then the Skins
won't need a lot Of time to revamp
their offense. Flaherty has let it be
known he intends to rely on the
same attack employed all season
with a few frills added to lend
more power and sparkle.
Would Star as Runner.
Baugh's long, spindly legs would
be tremendous asset to the Skins
If Flaherty would turn him loose.
but at his best this role would be
merely secondary to his passing.
His whip will be the threat with
which the Tribe hopes to keep the
Bear secondary at a respectful dis
tance, far enough back to give the
Skins running backs a chance to get
into the clear.
II Baugh had his way he'd run
more than pass, because he enjoys
stretching his angular underpinning
and because run sandwiched in
between several pass plays adds Just
enough deception to his role to help
his passing.
Ray Takes No Chances.
AS it is, the opposition almost can
guess 1.-The time Sam will take of
with the pigskin, although some of
the boys, notably the Dodgers, Pitts
burgh, Philadelphia and New York,
have made some pretty bum guesses.
Baugh will do little running
against the Lions this week and not
much throwing. Flaherty intends to
give the veterans a good workout
and then turn the proceedings over
to his rockies, but not before the
Skins have clinched matters. After
all, Ray is on the verge of hanging
up his best record in pro coaching
ranks and doesn't want 1t spoiled bv
a last-place outfit that hasn't won
a game. LIZA.

About Communism

Apparently Communism in the United States is one topic on which it is forbid den to write frankly. In addition to the retorts which obviously come from "American" Reds themselves, any honest attempt to discuss StaliniSt activity Tn this country brings protest from those who, honestly if mistakenly, consider such discussion subversive. The thesis of these protestants is simple: Russia IS our ally against Hitler. RuSsia'S heroic resistance is giving us chance to beat Hitler. Therefore Russia is lily white. Therefore American Communists should not be criticized.
 To this thesis we take extreme excep- ton. We can understand how the argu- nent may appeal to those who have not studied Communist methodology - who naively measure the Red danger by the Communist Party membership and vote. But we can't go along with the idea. Rus sia is our ally. The Russian armies are doing a marvellous job against the Nazis at a cost to themselves that we can only guess.
 As a result of the Reds sacrifice, the United States and Great Britain are enabled to prepare for the even greater task that yet remains, the aggressive flow which shall defeat the Axis. But let us not deceive ourselves. Russia is not fighting for us, for Great Britain, Tor democracy. Russia is fighting for Russia. It Happens, fortunately for us, that Rus sia's self-interest at this moment coincloeS

A Real Champion

The announcement from Joe Louis, worlds heavyweight boxing champion, that his fighting days are over will come as shock to the sports world Perhaps tho effect will even be felt outside the world that is mostly concerned with things athletic, for Joe Louis of recent years was pretty much of national fig ure and when he stepped into the ring to defend his title he was not just the center of the eyes of the spectators gath cred in the sports arena but of millions of Americans scattered all over the world He has been truly great champion.
 As fight championships go his has been a fairly long tenure. He became the 'champ' back in 1888, defeating Max Schmeling in grudge fight. He has not been threatened since then, although on occasions opponents have put up a good battle against him. He's now fighting for Uncle Sam and figures that when the war is over and if he is fortunate enough to survive it his ring days will be at an end. That's pretty shreWd reasoning and good judgment on his part.
 Naturally all of us hope that the war will end and everyone, including fight champions, can return to their respective trade. But we cannot help but feel that Joe Louis in abandoning his ring career, in giving up his championship, in placing his future on an indefinite basis has dis played the champion qualities that all of us have known he possessed ever since he gained the title. He's still fighting champion for our money.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-14

Congressman Herman P. Kopplemann probably won't need to use this in his campaign for reelection this fall, but if he ever wanted to throw something up to haunt ex-congressman William J. Miller of Wethersfield, his opponent, he could dig into the records and obtain lost ot ammunition For example he might quote the former COP legislators remarks of June 4, 194O, as follows: "In his message to Congress the President asked that the aircraft industry be expanded so we could secure an annual output of 5O,O0O planes for our Army and Navy; this, in addition to the needs of France and Great Britain, to say nothing of our commercial needs. I fear this is case of uncontrolled en- thusiasm and false hope want to say with all sincerity that do not believe this country is in danger of attack from abroad in the near future ..." Too bad the congressman of 1940 couldn't have figured out the nefarious plans of Hitler and Hirohito What sacrifices this coun- try might have saved.

Millionaire Goering

It remained for British agents here, there, and everywhere throughout the world to ferret out some facts recently which throw an interesting spotlight on the financial activities of the leaders of the Third German Reich. We refer spe- officially to that colossus of the Germans, Herr Hermann Goering. Reputed to have amassed great wealth since the Nazi depredations of once peaceful nations began, Herr Goering earlier this month said: q would be only too grateful to the gentlemen, if they would give me the names of the banks and tell me what sums I have in them"
 The British BroadcaSting Company has just obliged. A special broadcast was beamed to Germany. It contained such information as the fact that Goering has insured his life with Swiss, Dutch, Swedish, and American companies. Poli- cies issued to him represent about $4,000,000. And that's only the half of it. Through an agent he also bought Ameri- can bonds to the extent of $750,000. He has $600,000 worth of Royal Dutch bonds.
 Down in Brazilian bank MT. Goering has placed in currency about $1,25O, 900. currency, totaling about 100000 is on QGpOS1L III Ud11kS dG 1I1cSIC dI1u Md11IlOC1 also in South America. A Chicago i'm porting firm and Zurich stock broker are said to have $4OO,00O of Goering's currency. Some investments made by Germans Field Marshal may have been dissipated, but you can bet your life all of the big boys do-re-mi isn't and if ever this fuss around the globe should end and the Nazi boys come through Herr Goering will be we'll fixed at the expense of the lands and the peoples he and his Nazi hordeS have plundered.

Coffee Shortage

If there really is coffee shortage, then all of us will gladly accept rationing. There does seem to be some question, however, how genuine the scarcity of coffee is. Because of the quantity of war goods we have been shipping to Brazil, cargo space northbound has been rela- lively ample.
 The best available figures indicate that we have received around 85 per cent of the usual amount of coffee. Prospects are for an increase during the next few months. Perhaps much of this has to go to our allies. There may be other expla- nation for the apparent shortage. Can and will somebody explain authorita- lively?
