OF Two to Six Years

The appeal of George Sylvester

Col. MCGUIRE declared that Vie
reck was not tried for a crime, but
for being a propagandist. His
client omitted no material facts in
the registration statement he filed
with the State Department, Col. Nc
Guire said
The defense attorney also OBJ

admission of Vierecks book,

Clinics to Heip
Small Firms
Will Be Set Up

Pointing out that the war has
seriously affected American busi-
ness, the Commerce Department to-
day offered businessmen it's help in
setting up clinics to study and find
a solution for their war problems.
Based on procedures put recently
to test in San Jose, Calf, depart
ment experts have prepared detailed
suggestions for setting up the clinics.
These suggestions, just published in
a special bulletin, explain the best
methods for setting up a clinic, Sc
lecting panels and committees and
arranging programs aimed to give
the maximum assistance to busi-
nessmen confronted with the regu-
lations, ALLEGATIONS and other orders
issued by Federal war agencies.
The purpose of clinic is to en-
able businessmen to work out the
best possible adjustments for their
firms in meeting the changing war
time conditions, the department ex-
planned. To accomplish this OBJ
jective, clinic must offer accurate
information about these conditions
and facilitate an exchange of ideas
as to the best way of meeting the
problems.
The Government does not estab-
liSh such clinics. They are local
efforts rather than attractively
wrapped packages shipped out of
Washington" the department said.
Government representatives will CO.
operate, explaining some of the new
regulations and answering questions.

In Better Mental Mood,
Georgetown Heads for
Clash in Detroit

Georgetowns high-spirited foot
ballers were to leave for Detroit this
afternoon after light workout on
the Hilltop and for the first time
since last Saturday nights 6-6 tie
with Auburn there was a hopeful
look in Coach Jack Hagertys eye.
The team is not at its best
physically, with Ross Sorce still
feeling the effects of bruised groin
that kept him in the i11f1rmary most
of the week, but it is keyed to a
new mental high for the Titans and
Hagerty thinks it has a chance
against Gus Dorais' potent eleven.
Our blocking showed improve
ment in practice and our tackling
looks better The same form
against Detroit will give us a fight
ing chance. I doubt if we can keep
them from scoring so we're going
to concentrate on offense and try
to outscore them"
Georgetown's line probably will
be outweighed by Detroit's, which
averages a bit over 200, and the
Titans will have an edge in this
respect in the backfeld. Detroit's
backs also seem to be faster, but
Hagerty has planned an aerial game
built around Frankie Dornfeld, plus
couple of new running plays for
Johnny Barrett, his burly halfback,
which may offset the foes swiftness.
The Hoyas are experiencing diff
culties obtaining sleeping accommo-
dations enroute to Detroit and al
most half the squad, in addition
to the coaches and officials will
have to sit up tonight. But Gradu-
ate Manager Joe Gardner took this
into consideration in planning an
early start and the squad will have
plenty of sleep and rest before the
game.
Detroit, undefeated in three
games, received a vote in the poll
of nationally ranked teams last
week while Georgetown has been
consistently overlooked by the ex-
perts, situation the District eleven
hopes to remedy this week.
