BEHIND
The NEWS
BY Paul
MaIlon

WASHINGTON Nov lo-Ihe
w way the stock market has
been weeping over war-end
prospects proclaims a new belief
that the country is in for a
heavy economic jolt when war
production stops.
The reasoning behind this is
largely technical, like a techni-
cality which obscures greater
truth. Every inner report sug-
geSts m a jor business started
quietly long ago to prepare to
meet new peacetime production
needs.
Test producing is widespread,
though unadVertiSed. Machines
are plentiful. so are labor and
money, and the d m d for
every conceivable item of living
is piled high.
The technicalitieS involve de-
tails of foreign trade, taxation,
was tract cancellations,
financing the vacuum left by
wartime eXtinctions of many
little businesses.
DUT generally the question is
~ what the government (noW
the manager and purchaser of
all buSineSS) is going To do in
individual business lines, or let
business do.
Whenever in business trouble,
Mr.. Roosevelt calls on his old
standby, Bernard Baruch.
Now, as chairman of COM
mittee to consider war contract
cancellations, he is to devise the
government policy for the first
step toward peace.
The appointment came after
Comptroller General Lindsay
Warren. an independent agent
of Congress, had reported to his
sole boss that the army and
navy were granting unreason-
able allowances 10 contractors.
Unbelievable though it sounds,
S7,000,000,000 have been cam
celed already (due mainly 10
changes of designs in tanks,
etc..
WARREN wanted control. The
w Baruch appointment
stopped him.
BaruchS Job will be 10 throt-
tie scanddiouS corruption and
yet aid business transition. hold
ing the reinS out of Warren's
hands and in the administration,
OF the other technicalitieS,
foreign trade offers the clearest
example. The world needs every
thing, but has no money and
little goods 10 offer in exchange.
If we lend asury money
wholesale around the nations to
buy our goods, we will court
economic disaster. We did that
last time. The international
bankers then floated the loans,
the result Of which is evident
in the foreign bond price quota
tons today.
Russia wants 10 pay for her
lend-leaSe, not just "a token
payment Stain told Donald
Nelson. and she wants 10 buy
all kinds of implements from us.
What can we take from her to
enable her TO pay?
We can buy gold from her
mines which she considers
worthless except for dentistry
and selling to u.s. and thus ac-
cumulate more at Fort Knox,
but that, too, is obviously not
wise economics.

Schools Rally 10 Plan
For Holiday Paper
Salvage Collections

The proposal to collect waste
paper at the schools cooperating
in The Evening Star-PTA Salvage
for Victory program during the week
between Christmas and New Year
Day already has won the support
OF number of schools. and if a
few more indicate their intention
to undertake the collections during
that holiday week arrangements will
be made for pickups.
Some concern has been expressed
concerning the safety of children
carrying paper to school on days
when the schools are not in regular
session, The Evening Star was
assured today, however, that police
men will guard all intersections as
usual at the cooperating schools.
Under the plans now being worked
out, the children will take the paper
to the schools on the regular collec-
ton morning as usual. There it will
be tied and weighed after which
the pickups will be made.
Larger Collections Expected.
1t is believed that with plenty of
free time and no books to bother
them, the pupils joining in this
vacation drive will be able to tuln
in much larger quantities than
usual.
One school principal, discussing
the plan, declared that inasmuch
as the boys at the front who re-
ceived their food and other supplies
in cartons made from waste paper
take no vacation during Christmas
or any other holidays, the children
will be willing to give up one morn
ing to help get the supplies to them
at the front.
BY means of carts, and perhaps
with the help of the parents in the
family car, it will be possible to
bring heavy loads to the schools.
Prior to the collection day the
neighborhoods can be secured for
accumulations to be turned in.
NOtifica ations Asked.
All schools desiring to enter the
vacation drive should notify the
Salvage Editor of The Star as
quickly as possible. Their names
will be published when received.
Collections tomorrow in the sec
ond district of The Evening Star
PTA campaign, together with the
five leaders and their poundage to
date, will be as follows:

PHIL-PITT TEAM
TOPS IN RUSHING
Mighty Chicago Bears Lead
Pro Loop In Total
Offense

CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-tR-The rea-
sen the Phil-Pitt Eagles were so
tough in the National Football
league now comes to light. They
were the hardest-punching bunch
of ground-gainers in pro football
in 1913.
The Pennsylvania combine - its
opponents can say they were out
rushed by two teams-rolled up
1,73O yards on the ground in 10
games to nose out the Western
champion Chicago Bears, who
made but 1851 yards and thus lost
out on the ball-carrying honors for
the first time since 1888.
It was the 142 yards by rushing
the Eagles compj,ed against Green
Bay last Sunday that turned the
trick. But don't think the Bears
were pushovers. for all of that.
The Chicagoans easily sewed UP
the total offense title-yards by
both rushing and passing-with a
4,O45 total, topping Green Bays
runnerup effort ct 1851 by several
sridiron lengths. The Bears did
this with their second-place rush
ing quota plus a first-place chunk
of yards by passing-2,310. Green
Bay again was the No. 2 team in
this department, making its aerial
good for 1909 yards.
Neither Washington nor New
York. who have one more game
70 play this Sunday, can dispute
those claims.
However. the Redskins can take
fire total defense crown if they
yield no more than 1877 yards to
New York Sunday, for to date
their foes have gone only ZOOS
Yards by passing and rushing. an
average of 1924 Otherwise the
Bears will win the total defense
laurels with their final mark Of
1882 yards.
The Phil-Pitt club took undis-
puted rushing-de.ense honors, how
ever. holding its foes to 1913 yards
each on the ground. New York
currently is second best in this
respect with a 1861 average.
No one will argue the Bears
right to the title of most-penalized
team for they were set back 74S
