Rushing Titles
~ JERRY LIsKA,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The climActic battle between the
Redskins and Giants here Sunday
may settle the Eastern team title in
the National Football League. but
II probably only will gid the lily as
far ~ the prospective individual
rushing and passing champions are
concerned.
When Halfback Bill Paschal of
the Giants and Quarterback Frank
Filchock OF the Redskins take their
battle stations Sunday, they'll be
attempting to close the regular sea-
son as league rushing and passing
leaders, respectively.
Paschal, defending ball-carrying
champion, has gained 682 yards in
ITO attempts and can't miss his Sec
ond straight title unless he breaks a
leg and sixth-plac Ward Gun, also
OF the Giants, gaiB 270 yards Sun
day. All the other runners-up have
finished their seasons, including Sec
ond-place Johnny Grigas Of Chica-
go-Pittsburgh, who was absent from
the last game, closing with 6lo yards
in l8S attempts.
Baugh His Only Threat.
Filchock leads in passing with "a
compilations in l32 attempts for q
gain Of /, lot yards and his only com
petition can come from Teammate
Sammy Baugh, who Is third behind
Sid Luckman of the Chicago Bears
with 81 hits in liz tosses for 703
yards. While Baugh leads In per-
centage of competitions, .607 to .5s1
F'ilchock holds a 13-to-4 edge in
touchdown passes
It's still not oficial, but Green
Bays Don Hutson has the league
scoring title-his NTH straight
and pass receiving championship
number 4 all wrapped up. Hutson
finished regular play two weeks ago
but his total Of IS points and SO
passes received appears like money
in the bank.
His chief scoring challenger is
Leroy Zimmerman Of PhilAdelphis
with so points, while the star packer
end holds a margin of ~ pass re.

of Washington.

Washington. Apr. BINS The
unhappy drama OF the two French
generals-Henri Giraud and Char
les De Gaulle-appears today 10
have reached its denouement.
State Department officials frank.
ly admitted that "Giraud has been
a great disappointment and that
De Gaulle is coming out on top.
From the Washington viewpoint.
this is an unwelcome develop
ment. As recently as last Sunday
evening. Secretary OF State Hull
climaXed long series OF rebuifs
against De Gaulle by declaring
that the French national commit
tee cannot be recognized as the
government Of France.
At the same time, strong Amer
lean support has been given to
Giraud, beginning with his visit
to Washington last July. and end
ing with the effort last week to
persuade him not to resign as
commander-in-chief OF the French
forces.
But news from Algiers today in
dicates Giraud has given up in dis
gust. leaving De Gaulle cock OF
the walk Reports said Giraud
had determined to resign all con
nections with the French nation
al committee.
War Department officials ad-
mitted this would make De Gaulle
the legitimate heir OF the military
aid promised to Giraud last July.
On the occasion OF Giraud's visit
to Washington. President Roose-
welt pledged arms and equipment
for 100000 French troops.
II was fully expected that these
troops would be led by Giraud, but.
If he steps aside. the troops and
the American equipment will be
under control OF De Gaulle.
Thus the fighting French lead
er would have, by default, substan-
tial American support for the
title he assumed last week as
chief of the armies.
This was confirmed by the
French military mission in Wash
ington, which said the military
supplies promised to Giraud are
continuing 10 move, and are not
dependent upon Giraud's remain
ing in command.
In State Department circles t.
was admitted freely that this de
yelopment brings apprehension.
Rightly or wrongly, officials are
concerned lest De Gaulle seize pow
er himself-on the liberation Of
France-and hold 1t regardless Of
his pledge OF free elections.
