Many Warned Of Cadet
Mousetrap' Tactics
By WILLIAM TUCKER
United Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-WD-Our
favorite Greek pundit, Anonymous,
once said that if you build bet
ter mousetrap the world will beat
path to your door and Army's
catastrophe Cadets appeared to-
night to have the age-old problem
of mice and men under absolute
control.
In fact, the Army-Navy game
well can be settled for the second
straight year up close in the line
by application of the mousetrap,
football device that came along
about 1880 and has been effective
ever since-provided you have the
men to work it.
Army has the masters Of all
mouse-trappers, End Dick Pitzer
and tackle Dewitt Coulter. Their
trophies include two of the biggest
mice" ever shared: 215-pound
Don Whitmire of the 1914 Navy
team and George Savitsky, 252-
pound number who bit the dust
but often in Army's rout of Penn
sylvania last week.
Taking up more history first, you
will recall that the build-up for
the Army-Penn game labeled Mr..
Savitsky as the one lineman the
Cadets had confronted all season
who might give them trouble.
Before the kickoff at Franklin
Field, Philadelphia, Savitsky was
almost a sure-fire All-America
selection. After IS minutes of play,
he had become a tired, tottering
hulk of a man who watched in a
daze while the Cadets numbered
to touchdown after touchdown.
Pitzer and Coulter had done their
work well. They laid back briefly
on the first few Army plays
routed via their end of the line,
allowing Savitsky to insert his
massive bulk between them. Then
Pitzer would turn in and hit him
high. Coulter would submarine out
and hit him low. The result &C.
cordionized Mr.. Savitsky strictly
within the rules of the legalized
felonious assault called football
and he was soon through for the
afternoon as an effective defense.
Last reports said he was in Penn
sylvania infirmary recovering from
the sock. t.
A year ago, Whitmire Of Navy
fell victim to the same ruse.
Army's first three plays came over
his left tackle and Pitzer and
Coulter double-teamed him expert
| ly each time. AS an added flip,
the ball-carrier, Doc Blanchard,
plowed over his capsized body on
each play. Before the first period
ended, Waitmire left the ball game
to return no more and with the
main Navy bulwark out Army
surged on to victory.
The Army mouse-trap was not
particularly prominent between the
Whitmire and Savitsky episodes
because it works most effectively
against a bull-rushing type of
tackle like those two. Not many
others have dared snap at the
cheese served up by the current
Cadets.

Ominously for Navy fans, the
Middies have showed no indication
of profiting by Whitmire's expert
ence and they looked alarmingly
vulnerable to the mouse-trap last
week against unimportant Wiscon-
sin. Although already a beaten
team, Wisconsin reeled off long
gains late in the game by putting
the squeeze on Navy guard John
Darlington. It was worked by a
guard and blocking back, who
toppled Darlington and allowed
Little Jerry Thompson to speed
through the line.

So it goes. The Tar Heels might

too bad a wager.
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-11-21

Three other factors might lead
to a Tar Heel victory. First, Blue
Devil over-confidence, boosted by
talk of Bowl games. Second, past
records of this series which shows
that upsets have been the rule
rather than the exception. And
last but most important, the coach
ing of Carl Snavely.
Snavely is one of the top 10 foot
ball coaches in the country. We
well remember the drive Of his

 ADMITS CONSPIRACY
 A number of employers publi- cations have contained admissions that such appraisal is correct. For example, the magazine, ''Business Week." reiterated this week its analysis that lumber operators the Northwest are holding ou, against strike of 10000 workers for wage increases because the ex. pense of such resistance can be wiped off their tax bills. Likewise, in Detroit, a publica. ton refecting the views of motor magnates-the ''Munn Automobile Newsletter''-revealed that the ir dustry appears to have embarked on a policy of ''sitting tight and waiting until the economic pinch forces workers to realize they mus stay on the job or starve."
 WAGE POLICY LOGGED DOWN
 The matter of a new Adminis> tration wage policy is getting bog ged down in an argument over strategy. Last week, as reported in The Union Times, Federal agen. cies were debating plan to per- init overall hourly pay raises up to Is cents, even where price in- creases must be granted as an off, set.
 This week, Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach proposed instead that the policy be worked out by processing series of test cases on wages through the War Labor Board, and from there to the Office of Economic Stabiliza- ton, so that the effect of such in- creases on prices could be deter mined.
 However, Chairman George w. Taylor of the W. l.. B. drowned on the idea, pointing out that his board plans to liquidate by mid December and doesn't like the idea of embarking on long-range policy. Former Judge John C. Col let, new director of economic sta. Utilization, began a series of con- ferences with Administration wage and price officials in an effort to iron out the question. What will finally emerge still remains uncer- tain.
 NEWSPAPERS STILL LYING
 Newspapers almost always give only the employers side in labor disputes, but their biased attitude was particularly fragrant in the re- porting of current strike of the Electrical Workers on the Lower Colorado River Authority, a state- owned power project in Texas.
 In headlines and editorials, the papers tried to give the impress sion that the uniOnists arbitrarily

On TheScene

 A New ''Friend" of Labor

High pressure pubIicists (paid and Otherwise) have busied them selves in recent months with trans. forming Sen. Arthur H. Vanden. berg from spokesman and manipu. lator for isolation to an exponent of international cooperation.
 Willy MT. Vandenberg is now undergoing another public face. lifting operation. He has suddenly become fried of labor, too.
 It's getting to be quite a fad these days to spread your own Welcome Mat before the House of Labor. As long as you give the act enough ad- vance publicity, 1t doesn't matter how much mud you spatter on the mat afterwards or how many bricks you threw in labor's window before.
 Silent on Reconversion
 Neither Vandenberg nor Messrs Ball, Burton and Hatch, the other friends" of labor, took one single step to get Congress to enact the re- conversion bills now sweating it out ln Washington.
 Vandenberg's letter to the Sec. of Labor, proposing round table conferences between labor and management should fool nobody who remembers the Senator's WhOle-hearted support for the

walked out in defiance of the pub. lie interest.
 What they failed to tell is that for five years the union had been trying desperately in peaceful me- gOtiations to obtain recognition but was stalled off by a governing board made up in large part of men appointed during the regime of w. Lee ''Pappy'' O'Daniel, no. torious labor batter, now United States Senator, but formerly gov. ernor of Texas. Prior to O'Daniel's rise to the governors chair, the board includ. ed, three labor members, and an agreement with the union was in effect. However, O'Daniel and his successor, Governor Coke Steven son, replaced the labor men with foes of unions, who abrOgated the agreement five years ago. Unions sought by all possible peaceful means to secure reinstatement of the contract, and finally struck as last resort.
 ''AUCIE' JOHNSON and STAN CRIESINC are two heroes of the N. H. Labor Temple front, if you know what we mean. Both men spent the last two week-ends put ting the boiler in the Temple into first-class condition, and that's work!
 The daily papers call the Holly wood studio workers strike a juris- dictiOnal dispute. But they forget to mention it's dispute about who'll have jurisdiction over labor reIa- tiOns in the U.S.-the NLRB, a government agency, or the studio bosses who are refusing to obey an NLRB order.
 A west coast manufacturer shocked congressional committee by testifying that when he increas- ed his workers wages, his profits went up too.

 Smith -Connally Act.
 The clever den1agogy of Vanden. berg to promote himself as labor. champion will be no more successful that the phony publicity spread by the Committee for Industrial Peace which is beating the drums for the Ball and Chain Bill. A brief stud, ot the minds and money behind the men on the committee reveals then as notorious anti-labor lawyers, fnan- clers and publicists.
 Vandenberg, who has always been bit of slippery. eel as far as the public record is concerned is little harder to track down to his anti-labor lair. He and other anti-labor legislators have often re. sorted to the trick of abstaining from voting on anti-labor bills if the measures are assured of pass. age without their votes.
 But when the voting IS close VOL can put people like Vandenburg right on the anti-labor spot The Smith Connally bill is striking instance of this.
 Labor must be wary of this sud. den deluge of affectionate em. braces from on high.
 Professions of friendship to Ia. bor by Vandenberg, Ball, Burton Hatch, or any other quick change artist, don't jibe with past or pres. ent facts.

YANDENBERC CALLS
FOR CUT IN TAXES

= WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-P-
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
threw fresh power Saturday be-
hind a drive to cut federal taxes.
The tall Michigander, chairman
of the Senate Republican Confer
ence and his party's ranking mem
Der on the tax-writing finance COM
mittee, told reporters:
81 think it should substantially
remove excess profit taxes.
81 think it should bring a degree
of relief in personal taxes, not only
in the confiscatory brackets at the
top. but also in the mass brackets
at the bottom where the revenue
is scarcely worth the effort to col
lect.''
Vandenberg declined to estimate
the size of the cut, either in bill
lions of dollars or in the percentage
of reduction for individual taxpay-
erS.
Finance committee chairman
George, however, has estimated the
total cut at S., 100000, with in
dividua1 benefiting by about $3,000,-
100000, which would mean an aver
age cut of around 18 per cent if the
individual reductions were made
horizontally.

JEWS IN SHANGHAI
SING, PRAY DURING
NEW YEAR SERVICES

SHANGHAI, Sept. s.-(Delayed)
-(P- Crowded by the Japanese
into a Ghetto in a corner of Shang-
hal $1,000 middle European Jews
sang and prayed with renewed hope
and spirit today celebrating the
important religious holiday of Rosh
Hashanah.
All but few of the richest have
to remain in the half-mile square
area because Of lack of money
and accommodation elsewhere.
But today their chanting and sing
ing echoed from half dozen make.
shift synagogues.
Most, fleeing Austria and Ger.
many before Hitler's Gestapo pur-
ges, came to Shanghai because this
was the only destination then not
requiring a passport.
In February, 1943 the Japanese
herded them together and placed
them in the Ghetto. They were clas-
sified as "stateless" refugees. Dur
the two and half years they were
segregated they were badly treat
ed. Many are starving; others are
dying because of lack Of medical
attention.
