Sid And Singing Sammy
Tune Up For Next
Weeks Meeting

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-CPl-Sid
Luckman and Sammy Baugh, the
two greatest passers in profess
sional football, tuned up today for
their meeting next Sunday at
Washington by leading the Chica-
90 Bears and Washington RNa-
skins to one-sided triumphs over
the New York Giants and Detroit
Lions, respectively.
Luckman set a national league
record by throwing seven touch
down passes as the Bears stunned
a crowd of 56,591 at the Polo
grounds by Strengthening the
Giants, Sc to 7. Altogether Luck
man completed % of his 80 passes
for >453 yards, one of the greatest
aerial displays of the season.
Baugh likewise put or one Of
his best performances as the Red
skins trounced Detroit, 1920. be-
fore IS, $40 persons at Washington.
He passed for four touchdoWr1
Intercepted 1Oul VI eillhiC Ajlllh-
wichs losses and, in addition,
kept the Lions bottled up with
quick kicks.
Luckman and Baugh now have
hurled % and 10 touchdown pass
es, respectively, this season. Both
appear to be certain to shatter the
existing season mark of % scor-
ing passes set a year ago by Cecil
Isbeli Of Green Bay.
These feats overshadowed the
surprise 1877 victory of the Brook
Ign Dodgers over the Phil-Pitt Ea-
giles. 1t was Brooklyn's second
straight triumph after six consec-
utive defeats. A 65-yard forward
pass, Ken Heineman to Merlyn
Condit, accounted for the winning
touchdown in the third period.
Greenbay, trounced by the
Bears week ago, bounced back
to wallop the winless Chicago Car
dinals, 35-14, at Milwaukee. Don
Hutson, brilliant end, scored %
points on three touchdoWns and
| five conversions.

BADOGLIO TO QUIT
WHEN ROME SEIZED
Continued From Page One)

"Count Sforza stated he was
ready to give all possible support
to my government, but would moi
take part in the same since in his
belief the King should abdicate,
the Crown Prince should renounce
the succession and the son of the
Crown Prince should be made king
with a regent appointed because OF
his minority" Badoglio said in
prepared statement.
"Benedetto Croce (noted Italian
philosopher voiced the same be-
liefs," he added.
The son of Crown Prince Un-
berto is the six-year-old Prince OF
Naples.
Badoglio said he was forced to
refuse these conditions on the
grounds that no such drastic step
should be taken until more of Italy
| is freed from the Germans and
that there should be no disturbance
in the liberated zone.
His decision to resign when Rome
| is reached reversed previous de-
clarations that he would stay in
office until the Germans are driven
from the country.
When pressed for statement,
he said, when I was II, I swore
loyalty to the King and l will keep
faith as long as I live"
Badoglio's decision to retire from
the political scene is the direct
result of his refusal to take part
in any government which unseats
the aged monarch, but it is a poll
teal paradox that his decision re-
moves the one strong prop which
has been keeping Vittorio Eman-
uele on the throne.
When Badoglio resigns, the King,
according to the constitution, must
try to form a government and
the Allies insist that it be de-
mocratic representative govern
,nent. All political parties have
united on the ground that they will
not join any government under the
King, which leaves him nothing to
do but abdicate in favor of re-
gency for his grandson to save
the House of Savoy.
| When asked if he might come
back into new government, if in
vited, Badoglio replied, II do not
like to make plans that far ahead"
The Marshal, who is close
friend of Sforza, has been mention
ed as a possible regent for the
Prince of Naples.
Badoglio declined to answer any
further questions on the possible
abdication of the King or the sta
tus of Italian colonies.
In speaking of his projected re-
81 gnst ton, Badoglio-Who was flank
ed during the press conference by
Maj. Gen. Kenyon A. Joyce, chief
Of the Allied Control Commission,
and Brig. Gen. Maxwell Taylor,
Joyce's chief of staff-said, "as
regards myself, once we reach
Rome, l shall be delighted to un-
lead so heavy a burden into more
expert hands and more youthful
energies

CIVILIANS STEAL
FOOTBALL SHOW
Ohio State, Illinois Pro-
vide Real "Thrillers''
Last Saturday

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 14.-lRl-
Colleges with lend-lease talent
may have the leading roles in
1943's football drama, but cou-
pie of all-civilian extras - Illi-
nois and Ohio State-stole yester-
days pigskin show.
Beaten II times in II starts. and
going nowhere, the two big ten
teams came up with a fifth Pc
riod'' performance that will fur
nish hot-stove league fuel long
after the clean-record clubs are
rgotten.
For Ohio States Bucks won
the game Il minutes after the gun
sounded to end the contest, by
calling on a 17-year-old freshman
who only two years ago was toot-
ing a tenor saxaphone in his high
school band, to boot the first field
goal of his career.
The youngster is John Stungis
of Powhatan Point, O., third-string
quarterback, and his boot from
the 25-yard line gave Ohio 49,
&c verdict, but there's tale to
tell before we get to the winning
points.
It was like this: Illinois scored
ir the first two minutes when
Eddie Bray and Eddie McGovern,
last years national scoring lead
err, ripped off 81 yards in two
plays. Ohio tied it at 6-6 with
48-yard march in seven downs.
The Illini rounded out the first pc
riod with a 1876 edge, Bray and
McGovern going "a yards in two
jaunts.
In the second session Ohio breez-
ed to the fore with 61-yard
touchdown march in 10 plays, but
Illinois Bray-McGovern-Green-
wood combination clicked off IS
yards in four plays to take 1918
edge at the half
The Bucks, 1912 Big Ten and
rational kings, stole the lead in
the third as they went SO yards
in 16 plays for 20-19 advantage,
and then ran it to 26-19 with an
80-yard drive in IA plays.
On the first play after the kick
off, however, Bray broke away
for So yards and Greenwood
plugged one for the touchdown that
knotted it at 1926.
Ohio breezed doWnfield again,
with two seconds to play, fired an
incomplete pass. The gun sound
ed, the teams ran to their dress
ing rooms, and the 36,331 fans
headed for the exits. Sports writ
ers flashed the score as 1926. Ra-
dio sportcasters gave the same
score and signed off.
Then head linesman Paul Goe-
bel of Michiga-. finally made him
self heard above the din. Illinois.
he said, was offside on the final
play and Ohio had another play
coming. By that time the teams
were practically undressed, and
fewer than 10000 fans were inside
the park.
Back came the teams, the subs
minus shoes and other equipment.
Coach Paul Brown went into a
miqfield huddle with his Ohioans,
told 'em to try the placekick. and
nominated Stungis for the chore.
The kid, IL minutes after the
final shot sounded, calmly booted
the ball through from Is yards,
and apparently he was the cool
est person in the stadium.
A Columbus photographer who
has been covering Ohio State
games for 20 years, got the only
picture of the winning kick. It
was a double exposure, superim-
posed on a crowd shot, but his
newspaper, the Dispatch, splashed
it across four columns with the
caption: Excited? Who's Excit-
ed?"

an item which asserted that the best troops
of Gen. Chang Kai-Shek are now stationed
opposite the Communist Chinese army, IN

Apparently. there is some difference

and he may have to do so again.

CITES CONDITIONS

Editor, The Citizen:
Absorption of acreage in Mon
roe County is increasing at a
very rapid tempo. 1t is not fair
for the citizens of Key West to
bear this entire tax burden. For
years they carried on when the
Navy barely had a skeleton force
in the station and the Army
about fifty men for maintenance.
One calamity after another has
befallen our city, and rumor has
it that absorption on Boca Chica
will be possible. Our city is
completely surrounded with these
new and rapidly expanding ia
cilitieS.
In the early days of 1912
heard lady looking for an apart
ment remark: Il do not see why
they don't take over the houses
here for us and put a gate up at
Boca Chica." Our housing would
not be SO acute if many of the
families attempting to keep up
with every change did not ex-
pect our community to provide
the increased burden.
In all fairness to the taxpay-
er-and / do not mean recent
residents, but going back to our
families who have been here
over hundred years-cannot
the absorbing factors assist in
providing fire protection, police
protection, help repair our streets
that are becoming increasingly
worse from heavy truck traffic,
help build our incinerator and
our highway which is in de-
plorable condition?
Loss of the Casa Marina taxa
ton is another terrific blow, but
worse than this is the tragic
fact: which of our homes will
be the next RACED? Federal
taxes are mounting daily, and a
steep incline of our local and
state taxes is going to make our
plight considerably worse.
Key West has derived won
derful results from Army and
Navy expansion, and possibly
determined the future of this
city, and we are deeply appre-
ciafjva bl1f ua naa5 f. oo.<,.
Grafton of the Army and Navy
In helping us in this situation
now facing us.
Where is the revenue coming
from-I ask-frankly I'd say
only Heaven knows.

RATIoNlNG-is4s AND 1882

There are millions of people in the
United States who think the rationing re-
CURED by the emergencies of war is new
experience for the United States.
The rationing now going on in this
country is regulated by the Government in
order that every citizen will get fair share
Whether gasoline, coffee, sugar, or food, an
effort is made to make supplies available
for distribution to the people of this coun-
try.
Walter Locke contrasts the orderly RAJ
tioning now under way with the great ration
ing in 1880, 1881 and 1882.
There was no order or justice in the
rationing of the depression. Part of the
population had plenty another part had
enough, but for third or half of the popu-
lation ii was tragic want in the midst OF
abundant plenty.
Rationing today is caused by the wars
demands Most Americans have the money
to buy but the supplies are not available In
1882, there were abundant supplies but the
suffering Americans had no money with
when TO buy
The depression rationing put many
people in bread lines, others in shacks, 9TH
ers on the highway and wealthy men drop
led into poverty Farmers lost their farms,
workers their homes and widows and or
phans their allowances.
As. Mr.. Locke well says, THAT was the
greatest, harshest rationing in all our his
tory. Women grew wan and men died from
the strain of it. Cruel, cruel time! This little
rationng Of wartime is nothing, for depriva-
ton, to that raticning in time of peace
Mr.. Locke does not compare 1943 ra-
tioning with that of 1882 for fun. He does
it in an effort to make people understand
that the bitter, bitter disorderly rationing''
of the depression was caused by economic
injustices which led to initiation
The writer warns that the nation now
faces another inflationary threat, as a re-
suit of the demands Of various blocs, and he
hopes that the people will understand what
will happen if another orgy of initiation pro-
duces "rationing' in the future
