Leaders On
 Grid Field
Bv AUSTIN BEALMEAR


 NEW YORK, Oct. 31 - Bobby Layne of Texas Ben Raimondi of Indiana and Gene Roberts of Chat tanooca sport the outstanding of fensive records on the nations gaidirons but the busiest man with football these days is Travelin' Travis Tidwell. Auburn's quadruple threat freshman.
 Layne tops all the collegians in yardage gained both on the ground and in the air. Raimondi is the leading passer and Roberts has covered more yardage while run ming with the ball than any of the rest.
 Tidwell, however, is the work horse of them all In Auburn's five games he has carried or thrown the ball I'll times, scamp cred total of 386 yards on 84 running plays and completed A of 87 passes from an aggregate of 483 yards
 His grand total of 869 yards makes him the runner-up Layne in individual offense. Only three players stand ahead of him in the passing department, based on the number of completions, and only ten boast better ball-carrying rec ords than his.
 In addition to carrying or throw ing the ball 40 times more than any other player Tidweu has punt ed IT times, run back 20 kicks and, apparently finding spare moment in some game, caught one pass.
 Layne retained his leadership in combined offense by boosting his total to 942 yards on 112 plays.
 Third is Herman Wedemeyer, America back from St. Mary's, with 736 yards, followed by All America Glenn Davis of Army and Alabama's s great Harry Gilmer with 7l8 yards each.

C0ACH FOR OREGON lS TROUBLE ISSUE
By GAIL FOWLER

SEATTLE, Oct. 3l - Oregon is remaining quite about who'll get Tex Oliver's football coaching job next year. Some are clamoring for a big-name coach, others want a homegrown, or at least Coast grown, product Dick Strite of the Eugene Register Guard opined the other day that he'd hold still for Charlie Erb, California Andy Smith wonder team quarterback, and father of Gals current quarter back. Erb dropped into Eu- gene recently representing an equipment company finn.
 Suita reported Erb didn't try to sell him any lawnmowers, but that he did do a fine job of selling himself As to why Tex left, it still seems anybody's guess, One version is that he wanted to beat the school to the punch but this seems unlikely Prob ably a strongly contributing req son was that Tex wasn't getting as much money as Lon Stiner over at Oregon State, and what with the presently high price of pol k chops. etc, he decided to depart

Gently founded by Mrs. Susie M.
of the late Robert S. Abbott, found
er and publisher Of the! Chicago De-
fender, has purchased a six-room
building adjoining the campus of
the University Of Illinois.
This building will be used as a
dormitory for girl students of the
university this fall, beginning Oc-
tober 4. Officials Of the university
have approved the plans and will
supervise the management of the
dormitory through house mother.
The foundation will function
through a board of trustees and a
board of directors. Mrs. Myers will
serve as president of the boards. 1t
is the plan of the foundation to build
on the ground purchased $4,000
structure which will take place of
the present building. The urgent
need for dormitory space at present
makes necessary the immediate use
of the present building.
Mrs. Myers, a close friend OF the
late publisher, feels that the read
ing public will consider this fit
monument to his memory and will
give hearty support to it's establish
ment and perpetuation throughout
the years.

Bibles POINT TO MANY
ETHI0pIAN5 IN HARLEM

NEW YORK, July % (ANP)-|
There has been an influx of Ethio-
plans in Harlem recently and the
indication that they are there is in
the demand being made on the New
York Bible Society Harlem reposi-
tory, where the Rev. John L. Bryan
is in charge.
Not only does the Harlem office
have Bibles printed in the Amharic
language used by Ethiopians, which
is about the oldest language next
to Chinese, but it furnished Bibles
in French, Spanish, Armenian, Por-
tugese, Italian, Greek, Hebrew,
Chinese and Latin.
Mr.. Bryan talks very interesting
ly about his work. There are printed
Bibles in LOOP languages and dia-
lects, with African, Indian and
Chinese dialects outstripping all
others. They are so numerous, only
certain books of the New Testament
are printed in dialects, not the
whole Bible.
The Armenians, says Mr.. Bryant,
were the first converted to Chris

Proletarec. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1906-19??, 1946-02-27

We gather from the testimony of Secretary of the Interior Harold
Ickes that Edwin w. Pauley, who has been nominated by President
Truman for the post of Undersecretary of the Navy, is a poor fix
man. i&&A
We never heard Mr.. Pauleys name until the other day, when it
reported that ne was accused of offering a substantial sum to the
would not press a claim for ownership of oil reserves under the waters
of the Pacific. $4,000 900 was the sum mentioned, and the money was
supposed to come from a group of Cahfornias "free enterprisers' who
are interested in the oil business.
We, of course, are glad that the Pauey story is being told and hope
that the government will take and hold that interesting natural re-
source for the benefit of the American people. But then, we would
like to see all the nations resources owned and exploited for the people
and by the people through their government.
Mr.. Pauey doesn't agree with u proposal of social ownership
and democratic management by the people and for the people through
their government. But then, neither does MI. Ickes. Neither do all of
the millions of people who vote for the continuation of the capitalist
system.
Come to think of it, wasn't Mr.. Pauley playing the game" that has
been louded and meeting the issue that has been raised in national
campaign when, and if, he offered his own and other peoples money
to safeguard private enterprise?
What, after all, is the Democratic party for, if not to do that?
Why should business interests give money to the Democratic partys
campaigns if it fails to safeguard private enterprise? And why shouldn't
about?
Well, perhaps Ickes and the rest Of the hoier-than-thou gang
are offended more by the way in which Pauley propostioned them
than by the proposition itself. For to be fair about it, it must be adj
mitted before the oil men appealed to the politicians, the politicians
appealed to the oil men on just that basis: Help us win and We'll help
you keep the American economy a private matter"
1t seems logical that the chief crime about the whole business was
that Pauley WaS-as truculent Harold Ickes put it-too raw"
There are some ladies who like seduction. But the seducer should
been gently rejected as unwise may be loudly repulsed as an insult.
Anyway, why should bigtime Democrats object to taking money
for a job that they ought to be willing to do for Misunderstanding
Labor Advocate.
