Lend-Lease 

Chicago, Sept. IT (UP) - Former President Herbert Hoover proposed today that five year mor- atorium be declared on lend-lease and other war debts and that the United States postwar loans be limited only to commodities essen- tial to the borrowing nations do- mestic needs.
 MT. Hoover pointed out that his recommendations applied to govern ment loans exclusive of the billions of postwar" already pledged through the International Bank, the Stabilization Fund, the Export Import Bank and the United Ma tions Relief and Rehabilitation Ad- ministration. His recommendations were made in an address prepared for delivery before the executives Club of Chicago.
 Neither war nor postwar loans can be repaid in full, MT. Hoover said because of this nations inabil- 1ty to absorb equal commodity re- turn for her exports. He urged, how ever, that there be no immediate cancellation of "our forty billions of lend-lease."

opsConcerts Series Comes Close
Fine Progrom Presented by Civic Orchestra At Pavilion

The second Pops" concert series conducted by Mario Di Cecco con- cluded last night at Hamilton Park Pavilion. The Civic Orchestra was heard last night in the usual fine type of program, Mrs. Stephen Ber- gin, pianist playing the Warsaw Concerto" by Addinsell with the orchestra. The modern number was original in theme and was given a good interpretation by Mrs. Pergen. The tragedy of Warsaw was brought out in the thematic progress of the piece and received worthy treatment by the pianist. The orchestra here gave splendid support.
 On the program were some att tractive pieces such as Brahms Cradle Song," selections from Leon- cavallos "Pagliacci Motion"
 "Guaracha" by Gould was an en- joyable number and the Rodgers selections from oklahoma pleased nightly. All the favorites from this musical comedy, "The Surrey With the Fringe On Top, "Oh, What A BeauJl1ul MOrI1uS, EeOPLe WAl Say We're Tn Love-" were included in this potpourri from the tuneful musical show. Gade's "Jalausie," "Old Timers Waltz" by Lake and "Glow Worm, were also on the program.
 The encores went over big as us- ual and included Jerome Kerns "The Man I Love-" from Show Boat" also "Intermezzo' by Ed ward Field, in which number Edward Field was violin soloist.
 Tn his remarks MT. Di Cecco spoke of the small attendance at the Pops concerts. Next season the possibility of continuing the summer concerts is not too certain. Those who have missed hearing a few of these con- certs have missed much. n the meantime those that did attend have realized in the Pops" affairs that a pretty good thing in music was offered.

Redwings Gain
 In Hockey Loop
BY UNITED PRESS

The Detroit Redwings pulled up even with the third place Boston Bruins in the National League hockey standings today, achieving the gain with 6 to 3 Christmas night victory over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs.
 The Wings combined a strong first period attack with flawless goal tending by Harry Lumley to take lead that never was chal- lenged. Modere Bruneteau, Syd Howe and Hal Jackson showed in first period goals. That margin en- abled the Wings to withstand two quick Toronto goals within two minutes of. the second period, scored by Syl Apps and Gaye Stew art. The Wings made it to 2 on a long shot by Joe Carveth before that period ended.
 Goalie Off Ice
 Howe, with an unassiSted goal, and Bill (Flash) Hollett completed Detroit's scoring in the third per- iod while Bob Goldman of Toronto was in the penalty box. The Leafs got their last goal when Lumley himself was in the penalty box on a holding penalty, Sweeney Schri- ner dring the scoring. Lumley was the second National League .goalie to draw an off the ice penalty this season.

The Blue Devils marched through a repre- sentative schedule. eismaxed by a game with a remarkable Piitsburgh team in Durham snow. without a single point being scored against them. This. by the way. is per- haps the finest feat performed in modern football history.
 PaDple were beginning to respect Southern California'S Rose Bowl charm. however. and made Troy the favorite. Doyle Nave had to complete five consecutive passes to antelope Al Krueger. the winning one with only % seconds remain ing. to pull this. one out. 7-3.
 There has been no stopping the Tropans ever since. They whipped Tennessee. i4-0. in le40. and tri- umphed twice again under their current coach, JefI Cravath. In 1894 they won a wartime arrange ment from Washington. 29-0. and last New Years Day trampled pre- vioukly unbeaten Tennessee, 25-0.
 When you look at the respective l945 states of Alabama and South ern California, you are inclined to like the Tide.
