Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1943-10-14

ONLY one thing is certain during
~ the current football season
spectator interest is as great as
ever.
This was proved quite definitely
on the opening day of the college
gridirOn season. Four games in
the Midwest that were open for
civilian patronage, and Notre Dame
at Pittsburgh, drew a total of 176,-
996, or an average of 35,399-much
better than had been expected or
predicted.
But that is about the only aspect
of the game this year that can be
taken for granted. Most of the
others are surrounded by question
marks.
The schools which did not benefit,
from the navy's VIZ programs
were expected to furnish compare
lively little in the way of top-fight
competition. However, the strength
of these civilian teams in the West
ern conference came as pleasant
surprise. These teams include Il
linois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana
Ohio State and Minnesota.

Of the Italian surrender. Agreement
was reached as to the terms.
That would seem to indicate that
a conciliatory atmosphere has been
created in advance. Unless Russia
is absolutely unwilling to make COM
promises, we can expect reciprocal
ton when the questions Of the Bal
kans and the Middle East arise,
where there have always been SINH
lar conflict Of interests.
The Baltic States
Another very sensitive question is
the difference Of opinion as to the
treatment Of the small nations which
lie on Russia's western frontiers,
notably the Baltic states. It is said
that Russia feels that as soon as
the German armies are driven back
into the Reich, these border states,
especially Lithuania and Estonia, a
part of Poland and perhaps a part
Of Rumania 1--WE leave the others
aside for the moment, including Fin
land are an integral part Of Russia.
The United States, on the other
hand, has always stood for the rights
Of small nations, for self-determina-
ton. Of course, Russia argues that
plebiscites which indicate desire to
join the Soviet Republics have al
ready been taken in part of the
territory and if they were taken
again, they would show the same
results. That they express the will
of the Nationals is denied by rep
resentatives of these countries in
Washington.
Post War Russia
From purely cynical and materi-
al standpoint, it can be argued that
postwar Russians will not attempt
any move against Britain or Amer
lea, either from within by propagan-
da and intrigue or from without by
military attack because they will be
an exhausted nation when the war is
over. Competent observers believe
1t will take several generations for
Russia to recover. Therefore, Rus
sia's chief advantage will be gained
by cooperation with other nations
rather than by threats of aggression.
To some degree, that also applies
to Britain. Unquestionahly, the
United States will emerge from the
war the greatest military power in
the world. Only a combination of
powers could defeat her. There
rests, then, the moral responsibility
on America of wise and generous use
Of her power-noblesse oblige.
This, admit, is the bright side
of the medal. But until the attempts
toward tripartite discussion and
agreement have utterly failed, there
is no reason why the medal should
not be presented, shiny side uN.

play either Northwestern or Michi-
gan, and has an excellent chance to
tie for the Big Ten title.
The basic reason for the good
showing of the civilian teams is
that they are well coached. Be-
cause of the civilian status of many
of their players, they have had con-
siderable practice time. This was
quite evident as they made their
debuts. And it was just as evident
that Northwestern, for instance,
went into the Indiana tussle with
far too little practice. Because of
navy regulations, that problem is
almost impossible of solution. Navy
work must come first.
1t is obvious, of course, that the
status of the civilian teams may,
change overnight. Those teams will
lose talent to the services as the
season advances.
All in all, the football picture is
muddled. But interest in the game
has not slackened. The merry click
of the turnstiles every Saturday aft
ernoon is ample proof.

Six resolutions submitted by local
unions to delegates urge withdrawal
of the pledge, some sponsors con-
tending that Congress "has been
unappreciative of labor's sacrifices"
and that employers have taken
advantage" of the pledge to "ob-
struct collective bargaining and to
wage a vicious offensive against
labor unions"
Five resolutions favor the pledge S
continuance, one asserting strikes

hands of their fifth column agents

declaring any interruption Of pro-

"'Are those Spits?' some one
asked. These planes came right in

were Messerschmitts.
"One of our engines was hit and
we had to feather it-that is, the
pilot turned it off. I learned about
it later. They decided to go on to

Commissioners Asked
10. Move Dog Pound
From Near School
Recreation Head Says
Animals Suffer- at
Unsuitable Site

The Commissioners were asked
today by the District Recreation
Board to remove the dog pound
from the proximity of the Randall
Junior High School playground to
place better suited to the health"
of the dogs and the best interest
OF community recreation pro-
gram"
The dogs are suffering.' Chair
man Harry S. Wender said at a
Recreation Board meeting yester-
day, adding that children teased
the dogs and that the noise was
terrific"
Milo F. Christensen, recreation
superintendent, said the presence
OF Is or so dogs was apt to create
a disturbance in any case. and that
the teasing by the children aggra-
waited the situation.
There Long Time.
The dog pound has been located
next to the site of the playground
for many years Board Member
James E. Schwab questioned the
wisdom of moving the pound at
this time. Mr.. Wender replied:
You haven't been there and
heard it" He emphasized the con-
stant agitation and continual bark
ing"
The playground now is being i'm
proved. Mr.. Christensen said. add
ing that the expanded community
program planned there probably
would function better without the
distraction of the pound.
The board also decided to re-ex-
anime all recreation units under
Its control to make sure they are
pelng used to the fullest extent.

Rumania's S 100000 Army
In Russia Conceded Lost

ANKARA, Turkey, Jan. 90 De-
layed) The Rumanians have writ
ten off as lost their entire arm of
more than 100000 men in Russia,
reports from the Balkans reaching
Allied quarters said today.
The exact number already killed,
captured or wounded was uncertain,
but the Russians were reported to
have claimed II of 20 divisions
smashed and reports here said 27,0o0
Rumanian were captured in the first
days of the present Russian Of
fensive.
Some sources said the Rumanians
had as many as 80 divisions in Rus
sla, but more conservative quarters
estimated that 20 effective divisions
was nearer correct, with probably six
to seven in the Caucasus and the re-
rnainder in the Stalingrad, Don and
Donets areas.

was rejected and the Rumanians
still are sandwiched among the Ger

This was done, according to infor-

landings in North Africa the Ru-
manian officers dug out their last

Civil Service Probe
Ordered Resumed
By House Vote
Three Speakers Express
Confidence in Romspeck
And in Committee

Without a dissenting voice. the
house yesterday passed the Ram
speck resolution authorizing the
civil Service Committee to continue
It's investigation of the efficiency of
civil employees throughout the Gov
eminent service.
Ihree speakers expressed the con-
hdence OF the House. on both sides
OF the aisle, in Chairman Ram
speck and the House Civil Service
Committee as we'll as in the desir-
ability Of having an investigation
made in the interests of economy
ana efficiency to expedite the war
effort, to relieve congestion in the
National Capital, and to ease up on
the tax burden.
Chairman SABBATH of the House
Rules Committee and dean of the
House, emphasized there are "alto-
gether too many employees in many
departments and that the surplus
number ought to be cleaned out"
Manpower Example.
Representative Halleck, Republi-
can, OF Indiana, his party spokes-
man, urged that the United States
should set an example in the con-
servation OF manpower. Some de-
partments have been the most lavish
squanderers of available manpower
that can be found in the country"
he said.
While the primary responsibility
Tor administration of laws is in the
executive departments, Mr.. Halleck
argued Congress has a grave respon-
slbll1ty to see that the laws are ad-
ministered as Congress intended
and that the taxpayers money must
not be wasted.
There is plenty of room for this
investigation" he said, because there
has been a tremendous growth in
civilian employment We are con-
unually receiving reports that hun
dreds of employees on the Govern
ment payroll are doing nothing and
can't even find out what they are
supposed to be doing"
He emphasized that there is
graver manpower shortage on the
farms and that small businesses are
being forced to close.
Believes Survey Needed.
ut is good idea he said, ''to
find how the Government is using
its nlanpower. 1t seems to me that
some employees would be doing
far better job in the Army or on the
farm than sitting in Offices in Wash
ington."
Representative Ropsion, Repubh-
can, of Kentucky, declared that |
there must not be too many on the |
Government payroll. 1t is obvious |
on every hand as we visit Govern
ment departments. A Senator, after
extensive investigation, told us time
and again that there are one third
too many on the Government pay
roll. Paul McNutt, the manpower
chief, has stated that the Federal
Government is the worst squanderer
of manpower in the country. Repre-
sentative Ramspeck has a real Job
to do for the taxpayers of the coun-
try and to expedite the winning of
the war"
AS a compliment to Mr.. Ram
speck, who is the party whip and
sponsor Of the investigation, he was
called to preside while this resolu-
ton was under consideration in the
