Yale, for example, one Of the
most conservative of all the univer-
stiles, has gone all out-not SO much
to develop a single outstanding
team, but to have hundreds trained
in the matter of condition and dis
cipline that football demands. Ger
tainly no university is doing a finer
job. also could mention Maryland
and many others.
The Change
These teams want and will work
for winners. But beyond that more
attention will be paid to mass than
to class.
Students who never thought Of
football before now will be shown
the feeling of hard body contact, of
increased speed, Of improved SIAM
ina, of quicker reactions in compe-
tition. In the universities, the col
leges and the prep schools there
will be at least five, pr possibly ten,
football players in training against
one for other seasons.
"Why," someone has asked,
Shouldn't these men be in active
war service?" ~
The main answer is that the war
department wants it this way. First,
because most of these men also are
taking war training. Second, be-
cause the war department wants its
coming requirements and reserves
to be the best soldiers in the world,
trained and conditioned for what is
to come later on. Saw
Every university and college of
any standing in the country is doing
its best to comply with the demands
or requests that come from the top.

swing at the Naval Cadet camps
located at the universities of Geor-
gia, North Carolina, Iowa and St.

stronger university teams, facing
one of the toughest schedules Of
the year.
Other Games
In the meanwhile the pros and the
army squad are both on their way
to camp, to many camps, for the
eight games scheduled this month
and through early September.
This army division, under Bob
Neyland and Wallace Wade, will set
at least one football record. They
will finish up their schedule by Sep
TENDER 20, just about the spot when
most of the others are swinging into
action.
Coaches Neyland and Wade have
the crush act" to handle. They have
the material-many Of the great
football players of recent years-but
the job of whipping these men into
a football machine i'm a short while
is no simple job.
You can gamble that the Washing
ton Redskins, the New York Giants,
the Green Bay Packers, the Brook
lyn Dodgers and others will be some
thing to shove around, despite the
fact they have lost close to hum
bred star men to the services.
Messrs. Steve Owen, Curly LAM
beau, George Halas and others still
have enough good material left to
keep any team busy, no matter how
many stars my be working against
them. They, also, are out to win.
And these games will play big
part for Army Relief. They are a
big part of the bigger game. And
they will be something to see.

The Big Nine, plus Notre Dame,
may easily be footballs stronghold
for the new campaign. And this
isn't overlooking Iowa, which would
be a serious mistake.
There are linemen ON hand to

ally have the call. Minnesota's big

WAGE SyAbAl1ALAIAVN
You can write 1t down that the
President will use his executive
powers to keep wages in check
rather than ask congress for any
new legislation dealing with wage
sterilization.
There are two reasons for this:
~ Wage control legislation would
be sure to, stir up another bitter
congressional controversy, as bad
or worse than the brawl over farm
parity prices. It might even re-
quire months to get both houses to
agree on bill satisfactory to the
administration.
(2) The President believes that the
policy proposed by the War Labor
boards recent steel wage decision
limiting wage increases to 10 per
cent over scales prevailing on Janu-
airy 1, 1941-plus additional ration
ing of consumer goods, will be suf-
ficient for the time being to brake
imitation threats to the working
mans pocketbook.
Inside fact is that the War Labor
board is contemplating only one fur
Their step in it's wage sterilization
program, and this is not so much
an anti-inflation move as conces-
sion to certain labor groups and a
contribution to the prosecution OF
the war.
Wages in certain industries, in
Guiding shipyards and tool-and-die
plants, are above the IS per cent in
crease ceiling set by the board. This
raises the question-shall wages in
these industries be brought down to
conform with scales in other war
plants which pay below the ceiling?
The answer is-there will be no
reduction in wages. The President
has decided definitely against this.
Instead, to prevent piracy and mi
grafton of workers away from vital
war plants paying below the Is per
cent ceiling, the War Labor board
is planning to amend its wage policy
to permit the payment of ''premi-
UNI wages" (above the ceiling) in
such plants.
Note: One industry sure to be al
lowed premium wages" is aircraft,
which has lost many workmen, by
piracy and migration, to higher-pay-
ing shipyards.

GIANT PLANES:
From, Shipyards

There was new answer to the
shipping problems of the United Ma
tons looming on the horizon. It
was an unofficial agreement from
the War Production board to give
the green light to plans of Henry
K. Kaiser, West Coast shipbuilder,
to build giant cargo and troop trans
port planes in nine of the nations
shipyards.
First hitch to be overcome in the
suggested set-up was the granting of
authority by military officials to re-
lease engines and other parts need
ed in the building of aircraft for
the army and navy.
Donald Nelson, WPB head ap-
peared to be willing to proceed with
the plan if these materials could be
obtained without hampering the war
effort. This came as surprise as
WPB first voiced skepticism on the
plan.
Kaiser's idea calls for the CONVEX
sion of three shipyards on each coast
to produce 5000 flying boats a year.
The ships would be of 10O-ton de-
sign fashioned after the lotion fly
ing boat Mars, now in active use.
Support of Glenn Martin, Baltimore
bomber builder, Tom Girdler, steel
magnate and all others with mowl-
edge of production problems OF
plane building would be sought, ac-
cording to Kaiser.
After Kaiser had discussed the
idea with Nelson he appeared be.

BEEF:
TsUo Varieties

In butchershops from the Bronx to
Boise there was considerable beef
ing about beef. Beef was high. Beef
was hard to get. What was the
trouble?
President Roosevelt told his press
conference there were three main
reasons for the current meat short
age: ~ this is the off-season for
beef; (2) people have more purchas-
ing power now, with which to buy
better cuts of meat; and (3) around
10000 900 men under arms are now
eating much more meat than they
ever ate on their own dinner tables
at home.
Meanwhile Agriculture Secretary
Claude Wickard reported that there
may be some relief in the temporary
beef shortage this fall when more
cattle are brought in off the range.
But other sources looked with dis
favor on what effect this would have
on the normal spring beef market.

RUSSIA: 81
Flank Tactics

While Moscow's official radio was
telling the Germans in their own
language that the United States and
Russia had come to their agreement
on the creation Of the second front
in 1912, Soviet troops were busy with
flank attacks on the Nazi forces all
along the 300-mile Don river front.
German drives had pushed far be-
yond Rostov, toward the Caucasus,
but the Russians were claiming that
their new flank attacks were netting
a terrific toll of Nazi tanks and men.
At Voronezh, northern anchor of the
Don front, the Russians had been
holding out doggedly while their col
umns were being pushed back in the
other sectors.
If Germans in the homeland had
been listening to the Russian radio
tell Of the coming of the second
front, they heard too that their coun-
try would be confronted with 15,000,-
900 men, 1000 tanks, 100, 900 guns,
and $4,000 airplanes. But this was
brave talk for even the official Rus
sian communicates admitted the
gravity of their nations peril. Most
feared was a Nazi break-through in
the center of the Caucasus front.
This would more than likely mean
that the so-far orderly Russian re-
treat would stand chance of being
turned into a rout-a result that
would be disastrous for the cause of
the United Nations.
Soviet officials had other troubles,
too. There were reports out of the
Don valley that large rings of fifth
columnists had been uncovered.
Many of the spies in these groups
were quickly executed as they were
caught trying to cooperate with
Nazi parachute troops who were
dropping behind the Soviet main
lines.
Meanwhile, through England and
the United States the cry was get
ting louder for military officials to
establish the much-discussed second
front. From widely diversified
groups and sections came the urg-
ing. There was considerable agita-
ton for this move for many people
feared the United Nations would suf-
fer a most severe blow should Rus
STA fail to last the year on the Euro
pean side of the Ural mountains.

LADIES':
OF the Navy

"Waves" is not new word to
U. S. navy men but in the future
sailors will have to think twice be-
fore using it. For this is the name
being given to the Navy's woman's
auxiliary, counterpart of the army's
WAAC.
Now officially organized, the
Waves plan to enlist 10000. First
call was for 1000 women, prefera-
bly, bachelor girls, to volunteer as
officer candidates.
Miss Mildred McAfee, AZ, presi
dent of Wellesley college, Wellesley,
Mass, is being chosen head of the
feminine navy unit and will hold the
rank of lieutenant commander.
While there appeared to be pref
erence for single girls, married
women are not prohibited from vol
unteering. Unmarried women will
have to agree not to marry while in
training-a one-month period.
Waves will be assigned to desk or
administrative jobs to release men
for active sea duty.

made by Philip Murray, CLIO presi-

AFL chief.
Peace proposals between the two
organizations have been discussed
for several months as a step toward
speeding war production. In his
letter, Murray proposed the estab-
lishment of a committee composed
of representatives of both organiza-
lions, with an impartial arbitrator,
to settle all jurisdictional disputes
between the two groups.
Murray named a committee of
three to discuss the problem of "or-
ganic unity" He named himself,

BEHIND THE AIR CORPS

This war will be won or lost in
the air. But despite that fact the
air forces will win or lose the war
on the ground. In other words, the
success of operations in the air de-
ponds on ground crews, who out
number air crews ten to one.
Featured in the headlines and the
newsreels every day are the pilots
and machine gunners. But the I'M
sung heroes of this war are the
ground crews.
Real fact is that it takes only one
man to pilot a fighter plane, but it
takes eight or ten maintenance men
to keep it in shape to fight. A four
engine bomber requires flying
crew of nine, and a maintenance
crew of Is. Often ground crew
will be assigned exclusively to one
plane, and will become attached to
it with the affection a stable boy
has for a race horse.
Chief of Staff General Marshall
has revealed that the overall
strength of the air force is expected
to reach 1000, 900 men by the end Of
1912, and 1000, 900 by the end of next
year. If the war is won in 1913, it
will be won by these 10000 900 men.
But 1900, 900 of them will be eight
ing" on the ground.
They are the overall-boys, the
grease monkeys, the men who spend
all day overhauling an engine which
has been flying all night, the men
who know what heat is like in the
deserts of Africa, because they don't
get up in the air for relief, as do
the pilots.

ALEUTIANS:
10000 Japs

Breaking an official silence, a
navy spokesman officially estimat-
ed that the Japanese have succeeded
in putting ''not more than 10000"
troops into the Aleutian island area
and at the same time announced
there was no evidence that the
Pribilof island to the north had been
occupied by the Nipponese.
The statement came in answer to
a report made by the Alaskan dele
gate to congress, Anthony J.
Dimond, that between 10000 and
$4,000 Jap troops were on the Aleu-
tians and that the Pribilofs had been
occupied.
Questioned about Dinond's re-
ports, the spokesman said that 1--WE
believe that not more than 10000
Japanese are in the Aleutians, prob
ably one-hah ashore and one-half
afioat."
The Japs gained foothold in the
Aleutians on June 8. So far, the
navy has confirmed the presence OF
Japs only on three of the islands:
Attu, Agattu and Kiska, at the west
ern end of the chain. The Pribilofs
are in the Boring sea, and consist OF
four islands: st. Paul, st. George,
Otter and Waldrus. The latter two
are small and uninhabited.

AIR MONSTERS:
Things to Come

Reading like tale from the pen
of Jules Verne, the story of two
super-gigantic cargo planes was UNI
folded in Washington by aviation en-
gineers. Senate committees heard
the stories.
Details of huge plywood plane
were disclosed by DR.. w. w. Christ
mas, technical aviation engineer.
The plywood carrier, weighing
1,120,000 pounds, would be both a
cargo and battle plane. It would be
a 10000 horsepower, two hull plane
with 400 foot Widespread and with
wings 16 feet thick, with speed of
about $50 miles an hour. It would
carry 5000 men. It would carry
rack Of torpedoes weighing 10000
pounds. DR.. Christmas pointed out
that the torpedoes would have
striking force of 19,000,00 pounds
when dropped. "a battleship deck
would be like wet paper when one
of these bombs hit it," he said.
The second plane was a revolu-
tionary type of amphibian flying
cargo plane, which would be lifted
and propelled by combination Of
engines, helium gas and air tunnels.
The engineers are Horace Chapman
Young and Eric Langlands of the

ton.
A single wing combination cargo
fighter-carrier, the plane would have
a flying deck of approximately 200
feet, from which IL fighter planes
could take off. It would carry
enough heliurn gas to lift 36 tons
and with its engines could lift 70
tons. Four tunnels would run
through the wing. Engineers in
these tunnels would create a semi
vacuum, whose suction would sup
ply pulling power while the propel-
1ers gave it thrusting power. Its
speed would be about 200 miles an
hour.
