(IeyeIand's Rams
Threat 10 Packers
Layden Points Out
Upset Possibility
BY Jimmy JORDAN

CHICAGO, Oct. rs - up -
Those Green Bay Packers may
be booming along at the head of
the National Football Leagues
Western Division today, but,
says Commissioner Elmer Lay
den, they can't be counted in
until the Cleveland Rams are
counted out.
Remember, the Rams were
juts about counted out before
the season opened" Layden said
today in an interview. Look
what they've done. They knock
ed off the Card-Pitts, Chicago
Bears and Detroit Lions in a
row before losing that 1921
thriller TO Green Bay Sunday.
That team has more spirit,
more confidence than any club
in the League, and an ingenuity
in developing plays off the T
formation that has every defense
they'll meet Worried.
I'm fact" he added, "they are
playing a distorted formation
that, with the material they
have, appears TO me more potent
than the offense of any other
club"
Layden explained how Cleve-
lands distorted T. works to
spread the defense before line
plays and pull it back in for end
runs and passes.
The quarterback squats be-
hind the center just as in all
plays. But the defense never
knows wether he'll take the ball
to hand it TO somebody else, or
whether the center will pass il
between his legs to another
back, so the quarterback can
break through as a pass receiver
or blocker.
"On those plays, you can't tel
who has the ball half the time,
he added.
when the ball is snapped tt
a halfback or tailback, instead
of the quarterback, the RICH
half comes across to screen the
play, and off they Co."
Layden praised te Clubs pas!
defense as the best he has seer
in several years.
"Hutson couldn't get touch
down pass, and they stole the
ball from him on his first receiv
ing attempt"

pound Of meat per person.
Mr.. Durand used TO have a
clerks job in an advertising
firm. With the occupation, he
had to change jobs because the
universal business problem was
not customers but merchandise.
Luckily for Mr.. Durand and
hundreds of thousands of others
who lost their preWar jobs,
Vichy built a gigantic industrial
bureaucracy in Paris, and MIR.
Durand found work there.
All French economic life was
to be fashioned by Vichy into a
corporate state, built on fascist
models. For each of l56 branches
of industry there was TO be a
Corporation. This Corporation
controlled the production, diStri-
button and sale Of all raw mate
rails within the industry and its
finished products outside. In
evitably, the big firms ruled the
Corporations, squeezing their
small partner firms out OF
business.
To get to work, Mr.. Durand
took the subway at Victor Hugo
station. The authors famous
statue had been taken away long
ago to be melted down for can.
non. Riding to work, Mr.. Durand
thought over the adVisability Of
bartering for some red wine, two
copper candlesticks which he
had inherited from his grand
mother. The Germans offered a
litre Of wine for every 200
grams of copper. 1t was temp
tation. Before the war the Dur
and family used TO drink a litre
of wine a day. Now they were
lucky if they got one every five
days.
When he got to his office Mr..
Durand found a new circular an
nouncing that a drastic reduc-
ton of paper was necessary.
| Yearly paper consumption had
already been cut from 80 to 10
Kilograms per capita. Half Of
the ten would be taken by the
Occupying authorities. The paper
work Of the economic bureauc-
racy absorbed one-third of the
rest and at the same time paper
was more in demand than ever
as a substitute for jute, leather
and even tin and glass. Mr.. Dur
and was amused to find that a
new office was being established
to centralize ideas on how to re-
duce paper consumption. Big
rewards were offered for new
ideas. AS a start big book was
being printed, summarizing all
methods of paper saving now in
use in Germany.
Meanwhile Mrs. Durand was
still standing in line at the
butchers. The women in line all
gossiped, passing on latest bits
of news. There was only one
copy of newspaper available
for every 10 Parisians. No one
cared much, because the only
things read were the official an
nouncements, such as the latest
rationing schemes, deaths, etc.
Mrs. Durand, like many Paris
women, had long ago started the
habit Of reading a book white
standing in line. Never we're
books so much in demand as
during the occupation.
Late in the afternoon, Mrs.
Durand took a walk. There was

Reading about this life, II will

To the Parisians themselves,
however, many of the changes

UP BEFORE DAWN
"Out of bed, boy. It's half past
seven. Time TO line up for the
bread before you start for
school," This was how the day
started for Andre Durand, aged
Z, by the winter of l943.
Andre found it hard to get out
of bed in the middle Of the night.
THE Germans had advanced the
Paris time two hours in order
that its clocks should have the
same European" time as East
Prussia.) The house was cold,
for there was no fuel for heat
ing. The discomfort of going out
in the dark was increased by the
fact that there were no batteries
for Andres flashlight.
Basically, however, Andre
was a happy boy. He did not
miss the cakes and ice cream
and chocolate and bananas he
would have enjoyed if he had
reached the age of 7 in world
at peace. He had never tasted
them and did not know what he
missed.
Andre had fun, of sorts. He
had distinguished himself in his
class at school collecting horse
chestnuts in the Paris parks.
War-soap was made of them.
Now he and his comrades were
busy collecting old iron, paper,
money for Solidarity bonds
for Marshal Petain, clothes for
refugees. School had become an
organized rag shop. Study was
neglected.

Whipping Child Publicly

Mrs. Marie B. Whit, College
Park, principal of the Bladensbure

terday in Hyattsville Police Court OF
charge of assault and battery on
a 7-year-old second grade pupil at
her school on April Is.
The pupil, Roy Allen Kirby, son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Roy S. Kirby, 59O6

he said.
Mrs. Kirby said the bruise covered
an area of square inches and that
she was so alarmed by it she had
the boy treated by a private
physician.
Mrs. Whit admitted whipping the
boy with a shoe tree because he "de-
liberately' disobeyed her. She said

time, she warned him that he would
be whipped again If he misbehaved
She then said that Roy "delib-
erately" threw a pencil and some

ence of the class, declaring that such

Is to be considered tomorrow by
members of Senate District SUBJ
committee.
In the hope of getting final action
on his bill, which was the subject
of extended hearings earlier this
year, Senator McCarran, Democrat
of Nevada, has called for meeting
of his subcommittee for 1::30 pm
tomorrow.
Anticipating that a bill will be
reported favorably by the group, he
has asked Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee for con-
sideration of the measure at an
early meeting of the full committee
This may be granted although
Senator Bilbo has announced his op-
position to suffrage for the District
The McCarran bill called for
election of council of seven men,
bers, from wards into which the
District would be divided, census
tracts being used as the basis for
ward boundaries. The council
would name a city manager, fo1
whom a salary Of $4,000 was pro-
posed.
Judging from suggestions made
during the hearings, it is expected
one of the notifications to be in
cluded in a revised bill may be q
