Marshall And MacArthur Are
 Center Of Military Mysteries
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, Sept. 22-(UP)-Mil- itary mysteries so intimately related to global strategy that only Presi- dent Roosevelt or Prime Minister Churchill would be competent to state the facts centered today around Generals George 0. Marshall and Douglas MacArthur.
 Some congressional sources con- ficently except Marshall, now chief of staff, shortly to be named com- mander in chief of all Anglo-Amer- ican armed forces throughout the world with headquarters in London, that is the latest speculative phase of the Marshall mystery.
 The mystery of MacArthur, Allied commander in the southwest Paci- fic, is: What caused him in 8 pub lie statement to denounce the Roosevelt Churchill strategy being pursued against Japan and imply that his command was being rele- gated to a subordinate position in the Pacific?
 MacArthur's tart statement from Australia was arriving here yester- day just about the time Washing ten was swept with reports that Marshall was under consideration for the spectacular global command. Spectacular hardly does it justice. A top general over Anglo-American land, sea and air forces would com- mand 18,000,00O to 2o,0o0,00 men.
 Although only Mir. Roosevelt or Churchill would know all the an- swers to all the questions, some facts are emerging which suggest that either or both of these military situations can be persuasively over- simplified.
 On reliable authority, MT. Roose- welt recently has been considering

 London, September p. - (UP) An authoritative statement which Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden cir culated in the House of Com mons disclosed today that the sensational journey of Rudolf Hess by Nazi airplane to Britain was an effort to oust the government of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and make a "per- manent" agreement giving Germany a free hand in Europe.
 Many reports have been circulated about why Hess flew a Nazi fighter over Scot land. May 10, 1941, bailed out and sought to deliver a peace message to Britain shortly before Hitler invaded Russia, but no official version ever was made public. It was known, however, that his journey to captivity in Britain resulted in a warn- ing being sent to Moscow and 1t was assumed that he sought to enlist British aid in a war against Bolshevism. The statement circulated by Eden revealed that when Hess, who was Hitler's deputy, landed in Scotland he proposed a peace which would have provided:
 1. A free hand for Germany in Europe.
 2. A free hand for England in the British Empire. except that for

Local Sabbath Day Football Proves PopuLar
Them All Covers a Lot
But So Did jim Thorpe

Chief Miller speaks Of one Of the
most remarkable performances ever
Thorpe against Army in 1919.
Thorpe took Army's kickoff
behind our goal line" he recalls.
"As he came to Army tacklers he
changed his pace and evadec one
after another. After shaking off the
last, he ran Just fast enough to
keep ahead Of pursuers, although It
was apparent he could have lost
them at any time he wished. When
he dcwned the ball behind Ar1ny,s
goal line, the officials called an off,
siGe multiplying the run and making
another kickoff mandatory.
INDIAN MADE TT OFFICIAL
"The eyes Of those who didn't
know Thorpe popped out Of their
heads when precisely the same
thing happened, and this time It
was official. After that 1t was q
case Of Thorpe versus the Army,
and 1t proved q ofle-sided contest.
Jim scored touchdowns and kick
ed field goals to account for all Of
Carlisle's points and win, 27-6.
In 1911, Thorpe, an even six
feet and weighing 100 pounds,
ran roughshod over Harvard and
kicked four field goals, two Of them
more than 40 yards. He ran 80 yards
through the Pennsylvania varsity
for touchdown. In 1912, he slashed
and crashed his way to 34-26 VIC
tory over q powerful Penn. team.
Pop Warner was the only one
young Thorpe respected physi-
cally. There were times when
jim was on a rampage that he was
in such condition that the famous
coach could knock some sense into
his head.
Shortly after ThorpG won the
pentathlon and decathlon in the
1911: Olympic Games, 1t was re-
vealed that he had been paid $25
. month for playing rni-profes-
sional summer baseball. H l s
trophies and medals were taken
from him and awarded to H. Weis-
lander Of Sweden, the runner-up,
whom Thorpe defeated by 800
points in the decathlon.
Weislander refused the prizes,
saying they belonged to the great
est athlet In the world.
''That man." he told the King Of
Sweden, lis Jim Thorpe"
And H. Weislander, good sport,
never saw Jim Thorpe play football.
