coach.
THE group pulling for Shaugh-
r1esry's return is led by Vic Turyn,
peppery quarterback OF the mold

was rounding up the players Satur-
dav night on the return trip from
Raleigh, where the TerpS lost 10
North Carolina State, and although
one or two dissenters may not sign,
Turyn is believed to have great
majority on his side.
The Maryland players let their
hair down after the beating at the
hands of the Wolfpack, that made 1t
six losses against three victories Tor
the season. They aired the troubles
that have beset the team throughout
the season, talked football until the
small hours of the morning and
worked up confidence for next
year, based on a closely knit organl-
zation and not a house divided.

ills that beset the Terp fotball pro-

1. The team led by Turyn had
spring practice before Tommy
Mont's big team was discharged
from the armed forces.
2. Mont's team was called to fall
practice two weeks earlier when the
players felt they should have re-
ported together.
w3. Shaughnessy remained too long
with the Redskins on the West
Coast
4. The training table was, as the
players put it, disgrace" and they
blamed this item for many OF their
troubles. "They gave us the same

FATHER OF TRUCKS
(NeW York Sum

Among the products of the future listed in regular department of the Journal of Commerce is a truck on which tooling is under way at the plant in Ohio, truck which promises to be truly formidable when 1t gets on the road. It will be thlrty-f1ve feet long and unloaded with weigh 12,5o0 pounds, with a capacity for payload of more than 43,000 pounds. It will have two front axles and three rear axles and will be powered by two synchronized en- zines, so hitched up that in emerg- ency, or when the truck is empty. 1t can be operated on one alone. Braking traction will be provided and by some 300 square feet of brake lining area. Presumably the designers and manufacturers have taken into account the state of mind of the first driver of a passenger car who will meet one of these trucks of the future rounding curve.

 Through an error in cable transmission I failed to mention Alfred Moves in my column of August 5 the soldiers of the next war weeping at the peace conference. He is the author of the inspiring poem which had quoted. Since l had to quote the poem from memory there being no reference books readily available in Paris also find now that made a mistake in line.
 To me the poem represents the sentiments of servicemen of World War II even more than those of World War l. For that reason I am repeating four StanzaS, and hope every delegate at the Parish Con- ference reads them.
 We who lie here have nothing left to pray To all your praises we are deaf and blind We may not even know if you betray Our hope to make earth better for mankind. Only our silence in the night shall grow
  And, while you deck our graves, you shall not
 know
 How many scornful legions pass you by. For have heard men say when living That small dream of good would cost too
 much;
 But when the foe struck we have watched you
 giving,
 And seen you move the mountains with one touch What be done know. But have fear! If you fail shall not nor hear"
 Alfred Moves
 One tough problem facing the U. s. Army is the tendency of some soldiers to marry German General McNarney fatly rules this out but with the men so far from home the problem persists.
 In Austria which is considered Hitler victim rather than enemy nation, GI,s permitted to marry Austrian women if they get permission frors their chaplain. Chaplain Clayborn Landers, young Baptist from Arkansas who works hard at his trade, informed me that gooc many boys have applied to him for permission to marry but that, in most cases he has refused Only in cases where a GI has known Austrian girl for long time when he has gone back to the United States, had look tt American girls and then come back still determined to take Austrian wife does Chaplain Landers give his blessing.
 Unless more American girls to Europe, how ever this problem will increase rather than diminish

OPA Old Home Week

WASHINGTON, Aug 16-tNEA)-This is old home week for OPA lobbyists in Washington. The new price control board-and be you don't make the mistake of calling it the price recontrol boards holding its first public hearings.
 The first problem is to decide whether to put price controls back grains livestock milk, cotton seed and soybeans Aug. 21. They have to think fast.
 All the old and familiar outfits are here. The American Farm Bureau, the mers the feed manu- facturers the corn milling industry the biscuit and cracker industry, the livestock association the Amer ican Meat Institute, the National Restaurant Asso- ciation the Association of Retail Grocers the lamb industry, Advisory Committee of the National Wool Growers Association. And 60 others
 They sit at great long table in the Senate office building majority caucus room and fine, prosper ouS-lookng bunch they are, too. At another long table sits the decontrol board tall Chairman Roy L. Thompson, short George Mead medium sized Dan iel w. Bell. They flanked by their small staff, half dozen economists, advisers, counsel and admin iStrators the last of the Bowles Office of Economic Stabization lineup. They're rapidly de- Sertlng the ship, too.
 One by the witnesses forward They have pretty much the same story They don't like price controls They did. They don't like any better that they've had month of business as usual with the controls off They throw endless tistics of billions of bushels and millions of tons all to prove controls should not be put back of these commodities. That's one side of the picture and it gets about hreefourths of the time in each of the four day-long sessions
 The other side IS represented by the consum,r Hobbies, the AFI., CIO, railway bsotherhoods, Laboy Policy Committee, the Amveta the university women the Women's Trade Union League, the American

WASHINGTON-Sometime to forget yho fought this last war and whose sons may have

WASHINGTON-Sometime to forget who fought this last and whose may have to fight another unless something IS done now, in these critical and diseouragng days, to prevent it.
 The old men are writing the peace again, just as they did after the other The jabberlng comes back the ocean. like the nocking sound of nightbirds There is one difference. The noisy Versaton is out in the open this tme as Woodrow Wilson promised in vain that 1t would be last time, with his talk of open covenants openly arrived at
 But it bespeaks, on every side, the old tional ealousies and selfishness and ambitions which is all the old men to understand It all they understood in their secret councils at Versailles quarter Of century ago.
 The young who came back this time returned with determination that this going to be dif ferent.
 So many still imbued with this spirit of high quest They are trying to do something in their own communities Some have gone into politics Some few have won nominations to Congress. Many more have won toehold lower down the political ladder. They want to do something about better America.
 But better America only with bet- ter world.
 And only the old are having anything to do with world affairs
 This is pointed up in a communication just re- ceved from the Beverly Hills chapter of the Amer ican Veterans Committee in Los Angeles enclosing resolution adopted recently It asks that President Truman henceforth appoint World War II veterans among delegates charged with making the peace, and calls upon of all other United Nations to ask the same of their governments.
 This chapter of the AVG" the resolution says calls upon the President to reetjfy as quickly possible the error of not naming a single civilian veteran of World War II as a delegate to the peace conference-o help shape the peace for which all of us fought and for which many of comrades died.

Give Youth a Chance
by Th0n1as Stokes

We urge further that in any future negotiations relating to permanent peace-whether at peace con- ferenceS within the United Nations framework the President and Secretary of State recognize the principle that the young who fought this entitled to a direct voice in the shaping of the peace-and henceforth always include young veterans of World War II among the peace representatives"
 It called upon local AVG. chapters and the national organization as well as other veterans or ganzatonS in this country and all the United Nations to make similar requests of their governments It con- tnued
 We make this recommendation, bearing in mind that recent have forcefuly recalled to all of use the words of the late T. E. Lawrence after World War that:
 When we had achieved, and the new world daWned, the old men came out again and took from us the victory and remade 1t in the likeness of the former world they knew. Youth could win, but had not learned to keep and pitIably weak against age We stammered that had worked for a heaven and new earth and they thanked us kindly and made their peace
 Through this action We ask the aid of the Pres- ident and the Secretary of State that may learn to keep"
 In sending along the resolution Art Arthur re- called a short-wave broadcast by President Roese- welt in l942:
 This time the achievement of our fighting forces will not be thrown away by political cynicism and timidity and incompetence. Before World War l. very few people in any country believed that youth had the right to speak for itself a group participate in councils of state We have learned much since then. We know that wisdom does not come necessarily with the years; that old may be fool iSh and young men may be wise
 Have We learned?

WATER HERE, WATER THERE, WATER EVERYWHERE, BUT TRY TO DRINK IT IN
 WATERBURY,
Editor of the Democrat:

Editor of the Democrat: Having shuddered through four weeks of drinking the Eau de Chlor- inc which passes for water in your community, can only be thankful that my stay in Waterbury will probably not be permanent. Espec- ially in view of the latest proposal to put fluorine in the water too.
 Isn't it bad enough now-having your drinking water taste and smell like eshly-chlorinated swimming pool Perhaps one could appreciate 1t better if one had athletes foot Of the mouth or something equally demanding of a germicide As the fellow says: Better it should be un- der bridges"
 On a hot humid day, after long walk in the sun, there is nothing quite so refreshing as a tall, cold glass Of water. That's universal truth-everyWhere except in Water bury. Here it's necessary either to kill the taste of the chlorine with a generous hooker of Scotch Whiskey or hold ones nose before quaffing. This writer is left in an eXtraor- dinarily unfortunate position, being "on the wagon" so far as the Scotch is concerned, and not having a nose large enough to hold
 Perhaps the proud Waterburian won't believe this, but it's true. The other night the writer had dinner at a Well-knoWn hotel in town. Sliced native tomatoes were served with the meal. The tomatoes-probably generously Watered by the Water bury farmer who grew them-tasted so strong of chlorine that they were unpalatable.
 Following out this train of thought, even if the fluorine will preserve ones teeth-as medical men say it Will-What's the use of having teeth if one cannot eat tomatoes because they taste more like a disenfectant than a food?
 If the city fathers keep this up long enough, Waterburians may eventually become walking drug stores with chlorine and fluorine coursing through their viens instead of blood, Ugly thought!
 This transient has a suggestion to the fair city of Waterbury: Don't put fluorine in your water (unless it can be made tasteless) Instead, take the chlorine out so it won't taste like combination of hair tonic and Ab- sorbine, Jr.
 Let's put the water" back in Wa terbury.
