100000 Watch
Army Defeat
Navy, 32.13
BIunchord and Davis
Score 5 Touchdowns;
Middies' RoIIy Thrills
BY FRANCIS E. STANN,
Star Staff Correspondeut.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-For
the second year in succession,
Army reignS as the national
football champion. Before Presi-
dent Truman. members of his
cabinet, many of the highest
ranking Army and Navy officers
and 100000 other half-frozen
spectators, West Points vaunted
Black Knights defeated Navy
today, 80 to l3, to run their win
ming streak to 18 games.
With crushing first period offen-
sive, Army took a 900 lead, but
thereafter the Cadet team, heralded
as the greatest in West Point history,
was forced to fight doggedly against
a Navy eleven that refused to quit
until the final whistle.
The Midshipmen, unbeaten, but
once-tied, as they faced the Cadets
in the first service game in memory
with both teams undefeated, were
victimized chiefly by Fullback Felix
Doc) Blanchard and Halfback
Glenn Davis, all-American stars of
1914 who accounted for all five of
Army's touchdowns.
Blanchard, Davis Do Scoring.
Thrice did Blanchard, 205-pound
line-cracker from Bishopville, s. c.,
cross Navys goal-once after inter-
cepting a pass-and twice Davis.
speedy Claremont, Calf, boy, got
of for scoring runs, the first 48-
yard jaunt and the second covering
20 yards. The Army line was all
that it had been rated and the COM
bination was too much for the Mid
dies to overcome, although they
came far closer to matching the
Cadets than expected by bettors, who
gave Army a 27-point margin.
1t was the Gath victory for Army
in the 46-game series. with Navy
showing 10 victories. Three Of the
classics wound up in ties.
1t was Army's running game that
proved too much for Navy. With
Davis gaining 81 yards in l3 at
tempts and Blanchard II yards in II
ball-carrying efforts, Army gained
259 yards by rushing to 100 for the
Middies. But through the air Army
gained only yards on single COM
pleted pass, while Navy's five COM
pletions in is attempts were good
for 106 yards.
Over all. Navy made II first downs
to Army's 10. In defeat, Navy was
more impressive than in most of its
victories or in its 6-6 tie with Notre
Dame.
Navy Puts Up Fierce Fight.
Navy's amazing fight in the final
three periods endeared the Middies
to the huge crowd. which saw Army
roll up three touchdowns within the
first IA minutes and which appar-
emily was resigned to a rout such as
marked the Black Knights jousts
with Penn. Notre Dame and others.
On three of the first four occasions
when the West Pointers got possess
sion of the ball they scored, and it
took stout-hearted foe to fight OF
decentralization, as did Navy.
! Exactly three minutes, 38 seconds
after Guard Jim Darlington kicked
off for Navy to open the game, the

'Antistrike Bill Action
Forecast After Failure
Of Labor Conference
House Vote Possible
This Week to PenoIize
Unions Breaking Poets

Failure of the Labor Manage
ment Conference to. produce
concrete machinery for settling
industrial strife led to predic-
tions last night that Congress
now would act on an anti-strike
bill.
Representative Michener, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, a member OF
the House Rules Committee which
reported the measure to the floor
last Wednesday, said he had op-
posed action in Congress irritating
labor or management" during the
conference, but that he now felt
Congress should go ahead. Other
legislators had taken a similar
stand.
Two Of the bills supporters, Rep
resentatives Smith, Democrat. OF
Virginia and Cox, Democrat, of
Georgia, told reporters they might
seek a vote this week. The measure
would impose heavy penalties on
unions which violate no-strike
clauses in labor contracts.
Bill Can Be Called Up.
House leaders omitted the anti
strike bill from this weeks schedule
But any member of the Rules Com
mittee can call it up on the floor.
Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Smith are COM
mittee members as we'll as. Mr..
Michener.
Mr.. Michener said he thought "a
courageous statement" from the
President would "obviate the neces-
sity for antistrike legislation at the
moment" But lacking any signs
from the White House. Mr.. Michener
said Congress should pass legisla-
ton at once to make labor "as re-
sponsible for its contracts and acts
as is management"
Chairman SABBATH of the Rules
Committee announced special
meeting of House members will be
held Tuesday to hear the views Of
labor leaders on proposed labor
legislation on which they have not
been heard.
Mr.. SABBATH and eight other House
members, including four Repub-
licans and four Democrats, called
for the "rump" meeting, the chair
man said, because labor wanted to
be heard on measures reported out
by the House Military Affairs and
Judiciary Committees.
The measures include amend
ments to the Smith Connally War
Labor Disputes Act, which would
suspend the collective bargaining
rights for one year of any union
which violated a no-strike provision
in its contract, and would prohibit
a union from using its funds fol
political contributions.
The press officer of the Labor
Management Conference, Fred C.
Smith, predicted that more strikes

WAR Crimes Charges
To Face Some Of Is
Jailed Nazi Tycoons
Only J on Arrest List
Escaped; Seizure Held
Only Motter Of Time
By the Associa ted Press,

ISERLOHN, Germany, Dec. :.
British security police, strik-
ing secretly last night and early
today in simultaneous raids
throughout the Ruhr, arrested
76 German industrialists, de-
I-scribed by senior British officer
as leading members of the most
dangerous class in Germany.
Hundreds of British troops and
special investigators staged the
dramatic precision raids. The czars
of Germany's multi-billion- dollar
steel and iron industry. surprised
in their luxurious food-stocked
mansions, face possible charges as
var criminals.
The roundup, which began at II
pm and continued until am. In
Dortmund, Essen, Duisberg, Dues
seldorf and other centers, caught the
industrialists in circumstances vary
ing from drinking champagne to
taking stomach pills before retiring.
One director of the August Thys-
sen steel works was found in room
with the blonde 24-year-old daugh-
ter of a baron.
Detention Indefinite.
So well planned were the raids
that only seven on the original ar
rest list escaped. A British intelli-
gence officer said 1t was only a ques-
ton of time until these would be
arrested and sent to an internment
camp with the others for indefinie
detention. Among those rounded up
were eight directors and advisors of
the vast Krupp works.
The British spokesman said the
raids constituted a partial appli-
cation of the Potsdam policy that
German militarism and Naziism
must be wiped out. Removal of
the industrialists from the world
of affairs" he said, sis necessary
preliminary to the reconstruction
of German society"
Volumes of documents and rec
ords of the whole gigantic Ruhr in
dustry, which equipped Hitler's war
machine, are in the hands of British
and American intelligence experts
the officer said. After study has
been completed he indicated some
of the steel magnates would be
charged as war criminals.

scribed by the British spokesman
as "a class making for war and the

A resourceful artisan he combined
with this a high sense of response

the life of such citizen.
Current shortages in merchandise
experienced by many retail stores
spread to the post office, where the
one and one-half cent stamps popu-
lar for sending holiday greeting
cards were definitely scarce the first
of the week. First shortage de-
veloped last Saturday when the sup
ply was exhausted late in the after
noon. Stamps of this denomination
previously ordered by Postmaster
Reichenbach were not forthcoming
from the regular sources of supply
because of heavy demand from post
offices thruout the country. A tenn
porary supply was obtained the first
of the week and patrons at the
stamp window repeated the query
reminiscent of rationing days, "How
many can / have?" There is no
shortage, however, of stamps of
other denominations.

There has been a lot of publicity
in Dayton newspapers recently about
the "mock" congress conducted at
Fairmont high school in that city
to which other Dayton high schools
send delegates. The congress is or
ganized along the same lines as the
national legislative bodies in Wash
ington and is designed to give stu
dents first hand knowledge of legis-
lative procedure.
The congress was organized by
Carl Weaver, head of the public
speaking department at Fairmont
and former Bluffton college student.
You may remember Weaver who.
attended college here during the de-
preston. Starting with a one year
scholarship he was unable to con-
tinue his studies after that for sew
eral years because of lack of re-
sources. Later he took advantage
of the colleges plan whereby stu
dents were given work to pay for
thir college expenses and continud
his course and graduated. After
graduation he taught two years at
Green Springs and six years at Ere
front before going to Dayton where
he is now in charge of public speak
ing at Fairmont. His picture, in
connection with sessions of the 'con-
gress" appeared last week in the
photo section of a Dayton news
paper.

perking up for its first peacetime
Christmas in five years arches
of colored lights overhead in the
business district and snow covered
streets heighten the holiday setting
and we liked the Christmas
scenes painted on the windows of
Vel's at North Main and Vine
they say the artist was Harriet
Blome-why can't we have more of
this s. and of course it's romantic
to dream of a white Christmas, but
lot of Bluffton people would have
settled for considerably less the first
of the week when that cold wave
registered below zero with biting
northwest wind to boot +. and talk
of flooding Harmon field for ice
skating-wouldnt take long to freeze
it-especially with another cold snap
forecast for the weekend and if
it were 25 years ago Bigler's and
Charlie Hankish and Casper Herr
mann would be busy putting up ice
this week-times change but
there's winter butchering on farms
in the Bluffton district much the
same as it used to be-wish we had
some panhaus-if you know what
- e
an optimist is one who expects to
have a choice of houses to rent in
Bluffton-and you can add garages
to that for they're definitely on the
scarcity list . and last fevered
rush of Christmas shopping with
loudspeakers blaring forth Silent
Night amid the changing of cash
registers.
Good attendance at the Messiah
concert Sunday night, altho not as
many as usual, due undoubtedly to
the zero cold wave which taxed to
capacity the high school buildings
heating system, From early Sunday
morning, Charlie Fenton in charge
of the heating, did his best to bring
the temperature to an approximate
degree of comfort. The concert as
a whole was good with tenor and
bass sections almost back to pre-
war strength. Glad to see c. d.
Amstutz, oldest singer of the chorus
still at his place and of course there
are Russell Lantz conductor, Mrs.
Pearl Mann pianist and Sidney Hau-
enstein orchestra director all veter-
ans still performing.
While you are getting ready for
Christmas dinner this year, be sure
to remember the birds. This snow
and zero weather has made the
search for food unusually difficult
and many birds will race starvation
unless help is forthcoming. Bread,
suet, seeds of all kinds, also table
scraps may mean the difference be-
tween life and death for many feath-
cred friends.
