'The Bull"-that's what Coach

calls him.

shop" Neale chirps. Wants tc
tear up the bench and throw pieces
at everybody. When he gets in q
game he's a slam bang player. The
Bull, that's a good name for him.
Neale was talking about Jack
Hinkle, a cousin of Green Bays
great Clark Hinkle of a few seasons
ago.
Jack injured a shoulder, then q
leg and failed to get much of a
running start in the National Foot
ball League this season. But in the
last six games, playing about 80
minutes in each, he virtually has
won the leagues grounds gaining
championship.
Needs 45 More Yards.
Smashing through Detroit for 1872
yards and Washington for 1T on
successive Sundays, the 26-year- old
20O-pound Philpitts halfback has
boosted his total yardage to SIP. He
will end his season against Green
Bay Sunday needing only IS yards
to beat out Harry Clark of the Chi
caGo Bears for the title.
CLARK made $50 yards in 12O trips
for an average of 46. It has taken
Hinkle only 104 carries to post his
512-an average of 40.
The Packers will have to bring
Hinkle to a standstill before their
own Tony Canadeo will have a
chance for the ball-toting honors
Tony is third on the list with 44S

LAND HOLDINGS:
Fast u. S. Ownership

While Undersecretary of War Rob-
ert Patterson announced the war de-
partment was giving serious study
to peaceti1ne disposal Of its hold
ings of 43, 181, 1873 acres of land, it
was revealed the federal govern
ment owned 1888, 600,5 acres.
Federal land holdings were equal
in size to the combined areas OF
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor
ida, Ohio, Alabama, Kentucky and

Adding to the federal governments
vast land holdings, the army and
navy purchased Is hotels at cost
of SIS, 1000, 900. Some of these hotels
have been returned to private own
ership, like the Stevens in Chicago,
bought for S., 1928, 101 and sold for

RAILROAD WAGES:
In Congress- Lap

AS congress considered a resolu-
ton to grant incorporating railroad
employees an eight cents an hour
wage increase, it was announced
railroad employment in mid-October
Of 1943 was 4 per cent over the
same period last year, but still 100,-
600 short Of needs.
Congressional action on the wage
increase was sought after the Office
of Economic Sterilization refused to
sanction the award, instead offering
lowest paid employees 10 cents
an hour boost and the highest paid
cents an hour.
In all, the railroads employed
1,367,817 workers in mid-October,
with critical shortages existing in
the operating departments.

quested that enough metal and other
material be allowed to make 500, 900
irons in the first quarter of 1914.
About three million irons were sold
annually, before the war.
NEWSPRINT: Still further reduc-
tons in quantity of newsprint paper
that can be allowed must be made,
the War Production board says.
Larger newspapers face a 28 per
cent slash. The overall trim must
be q per cent.
BOOTLEG: AS the scarcity Of
liquor grows more acute, bootleg
ging interests are trying to accumu-
late supply of whisky bottles,
which will be filed with Illegal spir-
it's, a spokesman for the legitimate
industry states. Main source Of bot
ties, he said, are the big city refuse
dumps.
FISH: Seventy-five to eighty per
cent of all fish coming under OPA
ceilings is sold through illegal chan.
nels, an officer of one Of the largest
fishery companies believes. He
called it the worst black market con-
dition in the country.
WEDDING RINGS: Unless the
government relents on the restric-
ton forbidding use Of gold in we'd
ding rings, brides will have to fore
60 real gold in their precious little
bands, a prominent New York jew
elry manufacturer stated lately.

WAR PRODUCTION: The peak
demand in war production has been
passed, Harry Moulton, president
of the Brookings Institute, recently
told the American Finance confer
ence in Washington. He said that
stocks of raw materials have be-
come entirely adequate, and even
excessive in some cases. More
and more cancellations of war goods
contracts are coming, he predicted.
RIVETER: A newly developed
pneumatic riveter, said to drive riv-
cts six to eight times faster than
any previous machine, is being test
ed in a Chicago tool plant. 1t will
drive four blind" rivets a minute,
on instrumental panel work. The
little machine weighs only AZ
pounds, and is easily handled.
SHUTDOWN: A plant in Milwau-
kee, Wis, manufa curing so caliber
cartridges for the army, is being
closed down. An official notice ex-
plains that changing needs of our
combat forces, plus the fact that a
sufficiently large bank of ammuni-
ito is now accumulated, is the rea-
son for disseminating production.
About 5000 workers are affected.
ELECTRIC IRONS: Two million
electric f1atirons will be manufac-
tured and sold next year, if the WPB
will release materials. Arthur

RUSSIA:
Cut Nazi Railroads

Two important railroads in Russia
linking German armies Of the north
with those of the south, and running
westward into the big pre-war Polish
cities of Warsaw and Lwow. were
cut by the Red armies.
AS the Russian forces severed
these major German arteries, Nazi
forces launched strong counterat-
tack against the Reds in the vicinity
of these rail lines, gaining some
ground. But here, as further to the
south where the Germans claimed
100000 Russians were hammering
them above Krivoi Rog, the Nazi
positions still were in a fluid state.
To the north, the Reds pecked at
the Nazi base Of Gomel, serving as
the southern anchor of their Baltic
line which is hinged on Finland. Ten
classes of reservists in the Baltic
states have been called to military
service by the Nazis.

OIL:

With a projected goal of $4,000
new oil wells in 1914, prospects
doomed for increased activity in

OF the $4,000 new oil wells, 5000
are to be exploratory and the re-
naming $4,000 development prof.

WAR GARDENS:

Other resolutions ask for an in
creased allowance Of about 80 per
cent from the WPB on tools, fer
tilizer and insecticides, and for or
ders permitting garden clubs to
buy 900, 900 pressure cookers for can

ARMY CUTS SIZE:
Draft Change Voted

AS the house sent the senate bill
calling for the deferment Of fathers
until all other eligible single and
childless married men throughout
the nation have been called, it was
revealed that the army had decided
to cut its manpower needs by
$4,000.
In addition to the provision put
ting fathers at the bottom Of the
draft lists and postponing their in
duction from 80 to so days, the house
bill also requires occupational defer
ments be reviewed by appeal boards
within the district where the de-
ferred person works. A five man
medical commission would be es-
tablished to consider the possibility
of lowering physical standards.
The $4,000 cut in manpower
needs will give the army total
force of 1852, 900 men. 1t also was
revealed that the army had saved
over 10 billion dollars out of 1877
billion dollars appropriated for its
use, with economies Of over 10
billion dollars effected by curtail-
ment of the armament, equipment
and airplane programs.

GERMAN WOMEN:
Hard Life I

Reports reaching Switzerland in
dictate the German women have no
easy life.
Typical of the life Of Germany's
10 million women working in facto-
ries, railroads, street cars, ticket
offices and postal stations, is the
case of the average woman who
rises at or 6 a. m, eats hurried
breakfast, then rides to her employ
ment, where she remains to or S
p. m.
Upon returning home, she must
wait in long lines at shops for her
food supplies. Since maids no long,
er are available, she must do all Of
her own homework. And through 1t
all, she must endure the prospects
of devastating air raids.
Women not busy in industry must
attend the children of working moth
ers. The Nazi theology that wom-
ans place is in the home has been
upset by the manpower problem.
