Chicago. Jan. 1y-INS-"You can
still get kids to run 80 yards with
a football and the public makes its
own football heroes
That was the answer today OF
Elmer Layden, commissioner of the
National Football League. to
question whether the professional
football circuit would have enough
PLAYERS to go around next fall.
With the league expanded for
1874 from eight clubs to II, and
possibly ~ if Buffalo. n. V, IS
granted a franchise, there was
some doubt whether full squads
could be corralled
why he pessimistic?" Layden
asked. I'VE know its not going TO
be easy to operate this year, but
we're looking on the optimistic
side.
The Leagues club owners, how.
ever weren't so optimistic as TO
grant franchises to San Francisco
and Los Angeles interests. which
put ur $4,000 each with their fran
AlloF dHIlf' n AOllNs VI " Aht IDuhhiO
syndicate, which did likewise.
Instead, they tabled the spplica-
lions with the proviso that they
could be re-considered April 10
at the Leagues spring player draft
and notwithstanding meeting in
Philadelphia. Buffalo stands
good chance OF being accepted then.
Unless wartime conditions change
greatly. however, the two Pacific
Coast franchises are out the win
dow for the duration.
The League will operate next
fall with the following clubs, IL all
goes well:
Western Division Chicago
Bears, the champions; Chicago
Cardinals, Detroit Lions. Green Bay

The Inquisitive Marine

Some months ago. a Marine Corps COM
bat correspondent decided to find out for
himself whether the medical care in the
military services is as superb as it is
cracked up to be. There was just one
way to find out and that was by joining
the ranks of the sick and wounded at an
advance base.
With the consent of the commanding
medical officer, but unknown to anyone
else, this marine, while at the front in
the South Pacific, pretended serious i'll
ness. Two days later he was in hospital
on the edge of Henderson Field, Guadal-
canal. A tag on his shirt marked him as
severe case of peptic ulcer. He received
no special treatment. He was handled
exactly as other evacueeS were handled in

He was loaded onto transport plane

a few hours was installed in a fully

were taken, teeth extracted, dental plates
made. A group of specialists prescribed

Prosaic Justice

Some 1900 Axis prisoners are to be

Ship A Day

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation prom
ised ship day for 1943 and produced
$50 vessels, which exceeds the promise by,
let's say, an extra ship for every bank
holiday. And this statement demon
strates how careful ore should be with
statistics because, on its face, it is grossly
unfair to Bethlehem.
More than two-thirds of the output was
in naval craft-including. battleships,
each equivalent to 40 Liberties; combat
aircraft carriers, each equivalent to 20
Liberties; heavy cruisers, each equivalent
to 10 Liberties. The entire years produc-
ton was the equivalent of more than 1000
Liberty ships Nor does this include the
reconditioning of 1000 vessels.
Hats off to an enormous job magnifi-
Gently done, a promise more than kept.

Overcentralized

The following is offered as clinching
proof to those who have been maintaining
right along that we depend too much on
our centralized government.
The other day in Washington, young
husband came home to discover that the
little woman had skipped town with an
oily, rascally rival.
Did the young husband rush forth with
fire in his eyes, full of righteous indigna-
ton and pioneer spirit, with fists clenched
or perhaps, packing horsewhip?
He did not. He rushed down town to
the United States attorneys office,
breathlessly announced that someone had
stolen his wife, and asked for warrant.
Last we heard, the United States at
torney was holding up the warrant, try
ing to determine whether theft of wife
is grand or petty larceny.
