Pro Football

There are now 148 National league
football players in active service,
with others on their way soon. Twen-
ty-eight of these players hold COM
missions. Eighty-three joined up
with the army, Sc with the navy,
and nine with the marines.
Each year the pros draft some 200
top-rank players. They will get few
from the draft list this fall. But as
Steve Owen of the Giants puts it,
s'While we've all lost good men and
key men, we'll have enough left to
carry the game along until more
men are called. This will make it
a closer race-a better race.
"We won't have those Chicago
Bears of last season to look at"
Big Steve said. "Halas has lost his
share of stars, and he had more
stars to lose. At this spot can't
see any standout team. But I'm
sure well have an interesting sea-
son with enough material left to go
around"
All of which, with the colleges,
the navy and army teams, plus the
pros, should find the American land
scape and atmosphere packed with
more flying footballs than any past
season ever knew.
The Top Three
To my mind the three finest golf
ers in the game today are Nelson,
Hogan and Sam Snead.
Hogan, day in and day out, 1855
pound dynamo, a David with the
punch of Goliath, is the master
workman of the trio. Ben is the
greatest week by week and month
by month concentration I've ever
| seen.
Nelson is the top target shooter
for the top stake.
Snead's shotmaking, apart from
ragged concentration, tops both.

ARMY HOUR PROGRAM

Axis if the prize Army Hour, on
Sundays, is damned again.
Jamming by manufactured static
or other interference is feasible in
the United States only on short-wave
broadcasts. The Army Hour fea-
lures short-wave talks from all over
the world, made by such noted per-
sonages as Nine. Chang Kai-shek,
General Macarthur, General Wav-
ell, and others. The most recent
case of jamming was during a talk
by high ranking army officer from
the Dutch island of Curacao. A pi-
ano banged loudly all the time he
spoke.
Winston ChurchilIs latest speech,
which came on the radio immedi-
ately before the army hour, was
jammed by gutteral Teutonic voice
carefully observing ChurchilPs own
pauses in an effort to escape de-
lection.
These two cases of jamming
were traced by triangulation to
Axis broadcasting stations. The
army proposes to retaliate if this
deliberate interference doesn't
stop.
WAR FLASHES
q If you are business executive,
and uncertain about tax deductions
for advertising and pay increases,
you can get informal advice by
applying to the internal revenue bu-
reau under a new treasury ruling.
q OPA agents are checking up on
private airports on tips that they are
bootlegging high octane gas to car
drivers. High octane won't run a
car by itself, but makes a very
smooth-running fuel if mixed with
lower grade gas.
G Guerrilla warfare in Russia has
become so highly organized that ev-
cry third guerrilla now is armed
with an automatic rifle.
d The war department soon will
break still more precedents. 1t will
start accepting women doctors in
the army medical corps. They will
be assigned chiefly to the WAAC,
and also for general eye, ear, nose
and throat work.
q The army's new MI helmet, that
comes far over the cheeks, neck and
forehead and is much stronger than
the old raky 'tin-hat," is now being
distributed to all soldiers.
q Courageous Dutch school teach
ers are following in the footsteps of
their heroic Norwegian colleagues,
who defied Nazi-stooge Quisling.
More than 1000 Dutch teachers re-
fused to teach Nazism and have been
dismissed from their jobs.
q The Nazis have banned the print
ing of new editions of Christian cate
chisms and devotional books. AL
legged reason is lack of paper. But
while prohibiting these publications,
millions of copies of booklet on
Nazi religion were distributed to Ger
man soldiers.

Flick, center. And, of course, Bruce
Smith and Bob Sweiger from the
backfeld. Gone also is Bernie Bier
man and three of his coaching
staff"
But it might be mentioned here
that as long as Minnesota has a
back named Bill Daley and tackle
named Dick Wildung, the Gopher
has something more than mere
nucleus on hand. Daley is big part
of any backfield and Wildung is a
big part of any good line. And there
are others around in Norsemen gold.
TtUo Others
From this crows nest two of the
best-looking college squads will be-
long to Georgia and Texas A. and
M. And you can add Texas. Of
course, you must remember that
more than one or two things may
happen between now and late Sep
TENDER.
The strength of the different serv-
ice teams is still a summer guess,
but judging from most Of their
schedules they will have something
more than tackling dummies on
guard.
It might be noted here that foot
ball is only a part of these cadet
training centers. Football will be
but one-fifth or one-sixth part of the
10 OF 12-hour conditioning drills, at
which boxing, wrestling, hurdling,
ETC., will keep them spinning like
human tops from dawn to dark.
The added rivalry between college
and service teams will add to the
general interest of the game, de-
spite the fact that 10000 or 10000
crowds might not be on hand when
the whistle blows.

Hadassah is the American youth
agency for the Youth Aliyah
(immigration) movement which
transfers European children to
Palestine. The organization also
participates in the Jewish Nat
ional Fund for the purchase Of
land in Palestine to extend the
areas of Jewish settlement and
cultivation.
AS the Axis threat to the Near
East grows, we are determined to
do our utmost to strengthen
Palestine, which is one of the
gateways to the oil fields of the
Middle East. All that we can do
to sustain the morale and in
crease the health and training of
the people of Palestine will in
crease that country's efforts for
the Allies.
Special stress will be put on
membership activity. The opening
business meeting will be devoted
to membership with Miss Eunice
Davis and Myra Kantor, member
ship chairmen, in charge.
We want to build up large,
strong force of American Jewish
young women to work in an or
gained, systematic way for
American democracy and for the
upbuilding of Palestine as Jew
ish Homeland. The larger our
forces the more effective our eff
forts. The problem of Jewish
homelessness is closely bound up
with the problem of the survival
of democracy.
The slogan adopted by Junior
Hadassah for the winter is do

taken from a determined utter
ance of Donald M. Nelson, Chair

Board, who said: Figure out
the utmost you can do, then go

LEVIN'S IN THE NEWS AGAIN: The
news from somewhere in the South Pacific
this week tells of an attack on a Japanese cargo
ship by the American Flying Fortress, Chief
Seattle. The bOmbardier of that plane is Serg-
cant Meyer Levin, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The
planes pilot is Lieutenant Morris N. Friedman,
of Grand Forks N. D., and one of the crew of
eight is End Lieutenant Haskell Wexler of Chi
cagO.
1t was Meyer Levin, who as corporal, ac-
companied Captain Colin Kelly on formation
flight from the west coast to the Philippines be-
fore the United States was at war, and who won
the Distinguished Flying Cross for his part in
that flight. He is also the Meyer Levin who
launched the bombs which sank the Japanese
battleship Haruna, from plane piloted by Cap
tain Colin Kelly, who lost his life in the attack
Lieutenant Friedman also was with Kelly and

WEDDING BELLS AT LAST: A
hero was rewarded this week by a
certificate which, neither the War
nor Navy Department. could have
supplied. To come right out with
it, Lieutenant Harry Schneider,
recipient of the Order Of the
Purple Heart for heroism and
wounds received in action in the
Philippines, married his sweet
heart, Rae Sternberg, the other
day in Shreveport, La.
Rae and Harry had set their
wedding date for October 10,
1941. Automobile accidents and
wars interviewed, however. After
nearly years wait, they are now
man and wife.
The lieutenant and his former
bride-to-be set out in their car
for New Orleans last Labor Day,
but an accident occurred and she
suffered a broken shoulder bone,
among other injuries. BY the
time she was up and about, Lieu
tenant Schneider had been trans
ferred from his base in New Or
leans to Albuquerque, N. M.
There still would have been time,
but the Japs had other plans.
Four days before the October 10
wedding date the Army had to
send Schneider to the Philippines
to deal with the enemy. Harry
had been a navigator for five
years, and you can't spare men
like that in wartime. In Luzon,
last December, his plane was shot
down and bullet pierced his right
arm.
After being mistaken for Japs
by the natives and Strafed by
Zero fighters from the air, Harry
and the rest of the crew were
taken to a village for treatment.
fortunately the misunderstood
ing with the FilipinOs was cleared
up.) Afterwards he was trans
ferred to Australia, where he saw
action at Port Darwin and Nor
esby.
Last week Miss Sternberg re-
ceived a phone call from San
Francisco. Harry was back! A
few days later, a plane landed at
the Shreveport air field. Miss
Sternberg was waiting at the al
tar, in a wedding gown of Aus
tralian" green. Harry stole soft
ly down the aisle while cameras
ground.
"a year is long time to wait"
Rae said afterwards. But it was
quite a year.

Letter Box

Editor of the Monitor:
1t was a fine demonstration
of musical talent and brotherly
spirit Of Mt. Clemens folk at
Zion Church, Palm Sunday aft
ernoon, under the direction of
Prof. McGhee. Many churches
by co-ordination-and even race
obliteration-unified themselves
under the banner of All-in-One.
Although creeds and doctrines
differ, their aim in life leads to
the same goal and to the same
Master.
This group of singers in pre-
senting this program had a two
fold purpose in their efforts, to
entertain, and to create a small
fund for expaning possibilities
and to develop resources. 1t
was privilege and an enjoy
ment as attested to by 900 in at
tendance by their enthusiastic
acclaim after the concert
This group of singers have Wis
ions of higher and nobler things
and should be supported liber-
ally in monetary way, COM
mensurate to tie enjoyment and
benefits derived from their hum
BILE efforts. SIT was derived from
the plates. This to be divided
among the six organizations. Not
very encouraging. If paid adj
missions had been collected, the
amount would have been $3.50.
Why the deficiency? The pro-
gram was gift to the Lord and
we must represent a true inter-
est in the Kingdom.
Palm Sunday was Jesus tri-
umphal entry into Jerusalem; so
this Palm Sunday should mark a
new entry into the music world
by our church congregations.
This Unity choir, like we'll
known broadcast choir of Hymns
of all Churches, gives us that
poise and serenity and absolute
faith in one Lord and Savior.
We are sure that the spectators
did not know what was in store
for them or they would have dug
down deeper and more gener-
ously.
