that postwar prosperity for many
lines was virtually foregone con-
clusion. Idle investment funds, con-
sequently, continued to press for en-

though, and these took profits to be
on the safe side over the week end.

George Marshall, Redskin prexy
who took walk at Chicago last
Wednesday when National Football
League owners adjourned their reg
ularly scheduled meeting at a secret
session, today reiterated his charge
the move was illegal and placed
full blame for the confusion on
Elmer Layden, commissioner and
president of the circuit.
Marshall, pointing to the league
constitution to support his state
ment, declared the Executive Com
nittee had no authority to adjourn
the meeting. 1t merely acts on the
recommendations of the president,
he said.
"If we aren't going to be governed
by the constitution and bylaws of
this organization we might as well
tear them up and throw it away"
he commented.
Action Still Unexplained.
League officials still have not ex-
planned their action, although it was
rumored at the time the confab was
Cancelled that an important Gov
ernment announcement concerning
the manpower situation would be
made in Washington today. No
hint of such an announcement
was forthcoming from Government
sources.
