GRID GIANTS
 ROUT REDSKINS
 AND SAM BAUGH.
BY GLEN PERKINS United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Dec. 11.-CUP)-The New York Giants, parlaying a breath taking spot passing attack with the best running game in the National league, awaited their world championship test with the Green Bay Packers today but win or lose they aren't likely to surpaSs their performance yesterday in beating Washington 31 to o.
 Making the title game for the eastern championship thoroughly climatic, the Giants humiliated the vaunted Redskins by beating them at their own game-forward passing and at the same time nak- ing goat of the leagues top all- time passer, Sammy Baugh.
 It was the same Baugh who com pleted 25 out of 35 passes for 273 yards in the previous weeks meet ing between the teams. Almost rushed off his feet by the aggressive Giant line he fumbled twice in the first period and both bobblies re- suited in New York touchdowns.
 His first tumble was recovered by Franke Cope on his own 39 and af- ter IA yard dash by Bill Paschal, Arnie Herber threw touchdown pass to Ward Cuff, who went over from the two.
 It was Herber, the "retired'' Green Bay Star, who stepped into Baug's role as master passer. After the second Baugh tumble, Herber gave the Giants a two touchdown lead with a scoring toss to Frank Liebel. Again in the third he buzz bombed" the Redskins with a A. yard touchdown pass to Liebel. Com- pleting Baughis humiliation, Car- ley Avedisian, Giant guard, inter- cepted one of his passes in the fourth period and ran 40 yards to score. Ken Strong with four con- versions and Cuff with a 24-yard fourth period field goal accounted the Giants their most one-sided vic- for the rest of the scoring, giving tory in the entire 10-game cam paign.
 The Philadelphia Eagles finished with a futile 26 to B victory over Cleveland, which would have given them the eastern championship had the Giants lost at Washington. For consolation, they gained second place and their only victory in league his- tory over the Rams, to complete their best season since 1887. Un- beaten in their own division, ties with the Giants and Redskins cost them the title. Their only loss was to the Chicago Bears. The final standings

In the event that a new state athletic commissioner is named by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, he will find that the secretaryShip of the commission, he'd for the past Il years by John (Toddo) Healey of Waterbury, is very much under the so-called ''rnerit'' system and that the able secretary who has worked under Commissioners LaWlor and Coskey cannot be removed except for cauSe-and the cause is not that of being a member of the opposite political faith Healey, incidentally, has never been active politically, so could not, in fairness, be removed for purely political reasons. More than a few Connecticut Old Timers, who have played baseball in the days when the going was ext.a tough, were sorry to learn of the death of Bristol's Swat" McCabe, at the Bristol hospital last Satur- day.

 Front dispatches said Russian flying columns were thrustin9 through the German rear guard all along the Daugavpils Bug front thwarting the enemys desperate efforts to disengage himself to pre- pare for what may be a final stand in the Baltic states and along the Bug river.

 Marshal Konstantin K. Rokossov- sky's 1st White Russian Army al- ready was threatening to turn the bug-Daugavpils line as result of it's break through to the east bank of the Bug River following an advance of nearly 40 miles from Kowel.
 Field dispatches said Rokossov- sky's left wing had established contact" with big enemy forces try ing to hold the water barrier to the Great Plains of Poland. A crossing at this point would out- flank Brest Litovsk, some 70 miles to the north and southern anchor of the German line, and open the gates to Warsaw, 150 miles to the northwest.
 Rokossovsky's central column, ad- vancing at a rate of mile an hour through the center of the Pripet Marches, seized Ovsemirovo, IT miles southeast of Pinsk, and Kazha Gorodok, nine miles east of Luniniec.
 His northern wing pushed 13 miles southwest of newly-liberated Bar anowicze along the Baranowicze- Brest-Litovsk railway and captured Lesnaya.

temporary capital would be estab- lished at Rennes in Brittany as soon as that city is liberated. He admin ished reporters that they must re- member that the capital of France is Paris.
 "Now, for reasons of which you are all aware. the capital of France is in Algiers," he said. There are many towns and villages between Algiers and Paris. It may be possible to govern provisionally in any one of those towns between Algiers and Paris.
 T expect to go pack to France soon and as soon as possible to in- stall the services of the government in Metropolitan France. The in- stallation of such services is a com- plicated operation and. can be done only in Metropolitan France"
 De Gaulle was asked whether France would demand territory over which the French flag did not fly before the war.
 "As far as Africa and the Far East are concerned. there will be no claims of any kind by us,' he said. France is certain she will find in- tact everything that belongs to her.
 'As for Europe. that is different. We have no desire to annex any European territory. But for security reasons certain practical measures may be necessary. That may mean that the flag of the French army will have to fly over certain areas for long occupation"
 Does that mean occupation Of the Rhineland?" He was asked.
 Certainly" he replied.

make academic the vexed question of formal U. S. recognition of his provisional government"
 While there will be no formal recognition, Involving the exchange of ambassadors, 1t appeared prob- able that De Gaulle will be permit ted to go ahead with his plans without objection from this country
 Asked whether, he had discussed with President Roosevelt the nego- tiation of civil administration agreement similar to the temporary in process between his committee and the British, De Gaulle said:
 My trip to Washington did not have as an objective initiation ot such negotiations. But hope and believe that the atmosphere creat. ed during my visit here will lead to such negotiations"
 De Gaulle emphasized the neces- sity for establishing a French gov- ernment on French soil as soon as possible and for Allied action to keep Germany from starting new wars.
 T don't think that the occupa- ton of Germany can be realized without an inter-Allied agreement which would have to include France" he said. T anticipate that a long occupation of Germany will be necessary"
 Questioned on the subject of Q plebiscite, which Mir. Roosevelt has indicated will be necessary before this country would formally recog- nize any French government, De Gaulle said the matter was not dis- cussed-"becallse," he added, "that is a purely French question"
 But at the proper time, he con- tinued, the French will conduct a pIebiscite.
 De 0aulle said he believed that international security after the war will require an international police force or national forces bound to. gether by agreements.
 'SThe small natiOns," he said. "must be included in any such are arrangements. don't think that any group of nations-big or little, should have control"
