Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-11-19

Germans today were believed
pressing Pierre Laval, whom they
had just set up as puppet
French dictator. to force CONT
mental France into war against
Britain and the United States.
The German radio called Laval
the man of the hour"
Aged Marshal Henri Philippe
Petain, titular head of the Vichy
regime, made Laval his political
heir, empowering him 10 decree
laws on his own responsibility,
and, in effect, signed his own alb
dication papers.
laval is transferring his gov
eminent 10 Paris, the German
operated Paris radio reported
today. international News Serv-
ice said
The political consequences OF
Laval's elevation were OF little
importance the Germans said
What really mattered were the
military consequences.
SAYS FRANCE IMPORTANT
France" Radio Berlin said,
'fs of importance In Europe's
present defensive battle not only
In view Of Its position In the
Mediterranean. but also for
warfare against the United
States and especially for the
battle against the British Isles"
The German propaganda was
particularly significant in view of
the fact that Adolf Hitler. in &C.
cupying the so-called free zone"
of France. specifically abrogated
part of his armistice agreement OF
1910 to permit the Vichy govern
ment to conscript Frenchmen for
military service.
The move was sfen at the time
as a scheme for forcing French
men to fight for the Axis.
Laval Immediately announced
that he was establishing his own
secret service and propaganda
agency. He shook up his cabinet
TO make il solidly pro-Nazi and rid
ii of the last vestiges of loyalty to
Admiral Jean Francois Darlan,
who has gone over to the Allies in
North Africa.
DISMISSES NAVY CHIEF
Laval dismissed Vice Admiral
Paul Auphan, secretary Of the
navy, and replaced him with Ad.
miral Jean Atrial. Minister OF
Communications Robert Gibrat re-
signed. probably on orders. and
was replaced by Jean Bichelonne,
present minister of production
The present minister of finance,
Pierre Cathela, for years a Laval
stooge, became minister OF ma
tional economy.
The Vichy minister OF agricul-
ture promulgated a communique
saying that Allied occupation of
North Africa would deprive metro
politan France Of great quantities
of dried vegetables, fruits wines,
sailed fish, cocoa and coffee.
He warned the French people
that they would have to make
more Sacrifices"
TRUTH OF SACRIFICES
The truth was. the Germans will
have to make the new sacrifices.
The Germans armistice commits
sion, which the Americans cap
tured in North Africa. was
Systematically looting those French
colonies for the benefit of the
Nazis.
There also was the matter of
shipping. The British economic
warfare ministry announced yes
terday that the Allies had picked
up 100000 to 300, 900 tons Of ship
ping in North Africa.
Broadcast reports from Vichy
tragically showed TO what depths
Petain, once the foremost idol OF
France. had been pushed by the
NaZis. t'

CONCENTRATE BLOWS

Dispatches from Stalingrad said
the Germans were concentrating

5000 men and small tanks
against a small sector in the fac
tory area where they were nearest

He since has expressed his hope
that Germany would win the war,
but his efforts TO recruit labor for
German factories dismally failed.
Petain evidently did not want
10 go the whole way in collabora-
ton. but the Allied liberation OF

IGiraud's flight to Algiers to rally
Frenchmen TO the Allied cause
and Darlan's cooperation forced

This is the gist of the many re-
marks we've heard Friday:
That was sure a lousy football
game yesterday in CaleXico.'
We're just wondering if those
El Contro fans weren't talking
about the performance of the
Spartan team instead Of the ac-
tual game.
In our estimation 1t was far
from a bad game. When a team
rises up to smite down a highly
favored foe the game is never so
bad. For to do it at least the vic
tors must be playing their best
and when a team is playing its
best as CaleXico was in the Thanks
giving Day classic, you're bound to
sec sCmc good football
That's exactly what the 1000 or

TO team from start TO finish. They
made more Yards running and they
mace more passing. They made 10
fms downs to five for the SpartanS.
Quarterback Ralph Samaha, the
l3O-pound field general of the Bull
dogs. utilized his passing arm to
score both touChdoWns. In the first
period a 4l-yard drive was climax
ed by SamahaS Seven-yard lob into
the arms of Right Halfback Albert
Ramirez who got behind the Spar
san defenders into the end-zone
1ullback Fred Brown failed to
plunge the two EardS for the con-
version.
The second score was also set up
by Samaha'S passes. After the Spar
tans gambled and lost on fourth
down with a yard and a half to go
on their own 4O-yard stripe, the
/ Bulldogs marched again in the
third quarter Left Halfback Jevan-
les Williams packed the ball to the
! Spartan 20 on two plays. Samaha
! then passed a short one over the
line 10 Left End Dick Johnston who

The 170-pound fullback went the
distance to score. He converted on
a line smash over his own left
! tackle.
( THREATENED ONCE
El Centre threatened only once.
In the final minutes of the first
half the SpartanS drove TO the six
! yard line only TO be thrown back
as the gun sounded.
Quarterback Ed Alarcon started
the drive when he returned the kick
OF Richard Felix, reserve CaleXico
fullback, from the so to the CAL
eXico %. On a lateral, Right Half
Ed Wylie carried the ball to the
eight and then Alarcon tried a
power play through right tackle,
which netted him two yards. Alar-
con gained TWO feet on the same
play on second down but Roy Har-
yey. left halfback. was dumped
hard for a two-yard loss at the end
OF the half. The whole Calexico
forward wall was in on the stops
with Captain Richie Ellis and End
Johnston doing their share.
Everything was going wrong for
the Spartans and everything went
off as planned for the Bulldogs.
The El Centre team used a five
man line with a siX-man backfield
against Samaha's passes but they
were ineffective. In the first quarter
he completed six out Of seven at
tempts.
Before game-time Samaha had
predicted that if everything went
right his team would win but that
if the slightest thing went wrong
the Spartans were liable to win by
a top-heavy score. After his II
ward pass TO Right End Andres
Huerta was good on the first play,
Samaha knew that things were 60
ing right.
