Bob Wiese Last
OF His Clan on
Michigan Team
By EDGAR HAYES

ANN ARBOR, Sept. 29.-Re-
member the song Are There Any
More at Home Like You?" In the
case of Bob Wiese. the lad who
came out of jamestown, N. d., 10
become regular fullback for Mich
Iigan. the answer is, There were,
but they're gone"
Bob comes from family that
for almost 10 years made high
school football history at James
town High. There was AL, four
years older than Bob, who was an
lAll-State tackle two years. Now
he works for a railroad. Huber
was two years older and he, too,
was an All-State tackle. He took
a job in Alaska in preference to
going to college.
STUNNED THE LINE
/ Having a trio of great football
players gave Mrs. Weise the task
of furnishing her own training
table. 1t was so successful that
she was soon feeding other players
in town. Today the coach, Ernie
IGates, eats all his meals at the
Wiese home.
From his start In high school
football Bob Stunned the line and
took over the grinding job of full
back. Although jamestown has a
population of only $3.50. Bob's
work was so outstanding that
twice he was picked on the ALI
State team. Not only picked twice
but as a junior in high school was
manned captain OF the mythical
eleven, an honor he repeated his
senior year.
The new Wolverine sensation
was also a standout in basketball
land track. When the time came 10
Ienter college, Bob, who wanted 10
continue his education in mechani-
Ical engineering. picked Michigan.
When Don Boor reported this
fall with a bad knee that didn't
lget any better, Coach Crisler put
this powerful sophomore in the
VARSITY lineup He was in there at
the opening kickoff OF the Great
Lakes game and for so minutes he
battled against the heavier sailors
on equal terms.
When the big fuss is over and
Bob is through with college and
whatever military branch he en-
tiers he hopes TO go 10 work for the
Buick Motor Company. He worked
lin Flint during the summer va
Ication. Outside of football and
study his favorite recreations are
hunting and shooting.

STILL WRONG, GOVERNOR

Quickly shifting from his announced
policy Of enforcing 35-mile speed limit
in California, Governor Olson now speci-
fies that arrests will not be made for
speeds between 35 and 55 miles, but the
motorists will be stopped and cards made
out, which will be forwarded to Sacra-
mento and in turn distributed to the ra-
tioning boards involved.
Thus the Governor gets around the JUS
tees of the peace over whom he has no
control and who, in most cases, would
refuse to, consider cases where speeds
under 50 miles an hour were concerned.
The Governor is not in the clear, how
ever, in this procedure. On the say-so of
the traffic officers, and without hear
ing in court, motorists will be declared
guilty and, we presume, will be refused
gasoline and tires by rationing boards.
Every man is entitled to his day in court.
The Governors plan denies him this.
Call the legislature into session, Gov
ernor, and get a 35-mle speed limit.

STRAW SNATCHING
DOESN'T HELP

The other evening we listened to a ra-
dio commentator filling the airwaveS
with tones of jubilation which, had we
been little less close to the news, would
have convinced us that the war was Just
about over.
few hours before a Berlin prOpagan-
da announcement had declared German
strategy at Stalingrad had been changed,
and frontal assaults there were to be
abandoned in favor of airplane and artil-
cry attacks.
Like a lot of others, the radio an
nouncer leaped to the conclusion that the
Germans were admitting defeat at Stain
grad, and getting ready to pull out OF
that area entirely. The thing that made
him so outstanding in his unwarranted
optimism was his Interpretation of the
supposed German defeat as the turning
point of the war, the final signal of total
defeat for the Germans, the beginning of
the end.
Well E.
The next day the Germans were as
~ as ever, and Moscow was admitting
that the Russian situation there had de
Perforated" gravely Not only that but
the Nazis were sending up fresh troops
to reinforce the attackers.
How often are we americans going to
swallow the bait, and the hook along
with it, before we learn not to believe
the propaganda announcements out of
Berlin? How often must we learn our
lesson in order to begin looking for the
Interior motive behind these startling,
and always unprecedented, German about
faces? Must it always be pointed out
that, among other things, the Nazis are
forever attempting to dull the sense of
pressing necessity which drives us to
greater war production?
Some of us seem entirely incapable of
refusing to believe the lies we like to
hear, or of believing the truths we do
not like to hear.
When the Germans are beaten, they
won't announce it in fanfare of propa-
ganda from Berlin. They'll be beaten on
the field of battle, and all the world will
know it, without benefit of propaganda.
Until then, every Berlin dateline ought
to be a warning to us.

Front-line dispatches reported

the relief of Stalingrad, had again

Today is a poor time to be asking Con-
greSS for the beginnings Of compulsory
health insurance. Yet this has just been
done by Representative Eliot of MaSSa-
chusetts in bill in the House. Appar-
emily this is an Administration bill back
ed by the Social Security Board. 1t calls
for the first half of the standard health
insurance system. 1t would set up ma
tional system of disability insurance for
making cash payments to the sick. The
measure would also introduce compulsory
hospital insurance.
To pay for these new insuranceS, a
new payroll tax of 3 per cent would be
placed on every employer covered by the
Social Security Act. Similarly every
employee would be taxed an additional
per cent After 194S, the employers
total tax for social security, including
old age and unemployment insurance al
ready enacted. would run from 7 to per
cent. The employees contribution would
generally be per cent on the first $4,000
of earnings
Obviously in seeking disability insur-
ance now, Washington officials are using
indirect tactics to gain health insurance.
The strategy of employing disability in
Surance as a stepping stone was disclosed
by the American eQeraIlOn OF LaDOr
nearly two years ago. In its 1941 legiSla-
tive program the A. F. of l.. said:
Insurance for permanent and temporary dis
ability also should be enacted Immediately. We
believe this should be the first step toward a far
reaching national program of health insurance,
which is our ultimate goal.
A vast change in American institu-
tions is implied in the new social security
bill. Such a measure should not be push
ed when the country is absorbed in the
war.
The Senate Finance Committee did
we'll to sidetrack the tremendous innova-
tons forecast in the Eliot bill by its vote
daferring increases in payroll taxes. The
temper of Congress indicates endorse
ment of the committees disapproval. The
country at large is even less prepared
to take on something so enormous in So
cal change of which it knows so little.

Men on the inside of the Wal
Production boards vast organiza-
ton are at last beginning to fell
that WPB is going to town, ano
that is the best news that comes
cut of Washington these days.
During the summer insiders told
different off-the-record story
Then they felt that WPB was SIM
plv another OPM or SPAB, and
would eventually go the same route
to the ashcan and graveyard OF
goofy government agencies. But
the story now 5 different. The
general feeling is that WPB boss
Don Nelson has at last determin-
ed what his organization should
be and in his recent moves or re-
organization has taken steps tc get
it.
Incidentally, Nelson has reveal
cd that one of the things that
delayed his organization was the
White House. Several months

pointment of General Electric'S
President Charles f. Wilson as
vice chairman of WIPE in charge
of production.
The idea was turned down. 1t
was September before the Wilson
appointment could be, cleared and
the WPB reorganization begun
from the top down.
Unofficially, one of the reasons
that may have held up the appoint
ment of Wilson to WPB may have
been the fact that WPB already
had in a top job Wilson'S boss,
G.E.s chairman cf the board Philip
D. Reed, then chief of industry
branches. Reed got all involved in
the famous Guthrie case, in which
Reed was charged with delaying
conversion of private industry to
war production.
Nelson backed Reed but in the
end Reed was relieved of his Wash
ington job and sent to London as
deputy representative of the COM
bined production and resources
board of the us. and Great Brit
ain. With Reed cut of the pic
ture, the way may have been clear
ed for the Wilson appointment.
