Army, Irish Set
For Showdown
On Grid Title
Bottle of Century
Gives. Odds of 6-5
For Either Team
By Froncis (. Stonn
Stor Sfaff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The foot
ball battle of the century-Army
versus Notre Dame-found the
two juggernauts ready for the
test that probably will determine
the country's No. l college team
today in Yankee Stadium.
This was a good deal more than
could be said for the countless
thousands of fans, predominantly
pro-Notre Dame, who this morning
were still bargaining with specula-
tors or trying to influence friends
who possibly held tickets as game
time Q:15 p.m) approached and
tension mounted.
For once the spectators, or
would-be spectators, were on the
streets bartering with those inter-
ested not in profit but in the battle
which was to bring together the
Nation's Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the
33d game between the Cadets and
the Irish.
Tickets From SIS to $500.
Offers of tickets at prices ranging
from $25 to 5000 were reported, but
there was little chance of a ticket
less fan buying, at any price, a
roosting place between the goal
lines. AS for odds, it still was to S
and take your choice, meaning If a
bettor liked Army or Notre Dame
he must put up Sc to win IS.
Army's great team, unbeaten in
IS consecutive contests and rated
No. / nationally in 1914, l945 and
thus far in 1916, left West Point
yesterday morning for New York
with only Hershel (Ug) Fuson, right
halfback, definitely out of the battle
because of a two-inch shoulder
separation. Army stayed in New
York City last night.
Notre Dame. which arrived early
yesterday at Bear Mountain, a few
miles south of West Point, left this
morning for New York, and most OF
Coach Frank Leahy's players were
in shape. Quarterback Johnny Lu-
jack, who sprained his ankle in
practice in South Bend, ran with the
team in practice and apparently
was not bothered by the injury. A
surprise member of the Irish squad
was Halfback Floyd Simmons, who
started against Navy but who was
placed on the inactive list earlier
in the week because Of ruptured
blood vessel in his leg. Simmons was
accounted ready for action If needed
Rowan for Fuson.
Army was to supplant Fuson with

or 80 pounds, lighter, but a good II
overshadowed player. Spelling Row.

185-pounder, who will do the punt.
ing for the Black Knights when he
is in the game. Otherwise the kick.
ing will be done by Glenn Davis
For the Army team, the game
today represented the biggest test
Of the year; for if the Black knights
are to win third straight nationa.
championship, however mythical
they must beat Notre Dame, which
was beaten by Army by $50 in 1914
and by 48-0 last year.
The trend of gridiron power
definitely favors the big civilian
schools in this postwar era, but
Army, last of the service academies
to hold a great team, intends to bow
out in blaze of glory.
So far this year Army has wor
all seven games, scoring 208 points
as against SIS points, while Notre
Dame has won all of it's five games
rolling up lit points to Is for the
opponents.
In the 80 games between the two
teams, Notre Dame has won q
times and Army 7. Three have beer
ties.

applications.
Although there was no opposition
to the admission of any of these
applicants, Soviet Delegate Andrei
A. Gromyko had objected vigorously
to the phraseology of the resolu-

Committee and had served notice
that Russia would oppose it on
the floor.
This threat was given added force
when Soviet French Minister Molo-
tov and Soviet Deputy Foreign Mini
ster Andrei Y. Vishinsky turned up
at the opening of today's session.
The Russians were opposed to the
inclusion of a phrase saying that
1.-The Assembly has taken note OF
the applications for membership"
on the ground that these words in
effect amounted to a revision of
the Charter by concealed methods. +"
They argued that they indicated
the Assembly had authority, which
the Russians maintained belonged
only to the Security Council.

Cabinet officers lined up today
in staunch support of admins
tration plans for scrapping-
perhaps next week-nearly al
price and wage controls still or
the books.
A top Government official familiar
with the decontrol discussions tolt
q reporter that three cabinet mem.
bers had helped Reconversion Di.
rector John r. Steelman formu.
late the program.
This official said the three are
Secretary Of the Treasury Snyder
Secretary Of Commerce Hartman
and Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach.
Mr.. Steelman held discussions two
weeks ago with Mr.. Hartman and
Mr.. Schwellenbach. Early this week
he called them together again and
they were joined by Mr.. Snyder.
Sweeping Decontrol Backed.
They decided, it was understood
that sweeping decontrol is the
course that should be followed. Mr.
Steelman has recommended this to
President Truman and repeatedly
expects the Chief Executive to en-
dorse and announce the program
in a few days.
Ofacials in position to know said
Mr.. Steelman outlined the far
reaching decontrol plan at yester-
days full cabinet meeting and that
no objections were raised.
Under the plan virtually all price
and wage controls except those on
rents and the few food items still
under ceilings-sugar, syrup and
rice-would be lifted.
Wyatt Seen Losing Fight.
Housing Administrator Wilson W.
Wyatt still is opposing elimination
of controls on building materials,
but his aides say he expects the de-
cision to go against him.
Lined up with Mr.. Steelman and
the cabinet officers in favor OF
broadscale junking of controls are
OPA Chief Paul Porter, Civilian
Production Administrator John D,
Small and willard w. Wirtz, chair
man of the Wage Sterilization
Board.
They repeatedly have taken the
stand that building materials could
not remain under control unless re-
strictions were continued on basic
commodities like coal, steel and
other metals. They are understood
to favor decontrol of these basic
items, along with such products as
automobiles, clothing and textiles,
refrigerators and tires.
Wage Controls Would Go.
Removal of price ceilings on these
and other items automatically would
eliminate wage controls in these in
dustrieS.
Mr.. Porter, according to his
friends, is planning to resign as soon
as the expected White House de.
control announcement Is made.
Senator Johnston, Democrat, o1
South Carolina, said after talking
with the White House, that "all con.
trols will be taken of the manufac-
ture of textiles within the very neal
future"
Senator Johnston told a reporter
that "this will mean a great deal te
South Carolina because one-fourtf
of the active spindles in the United
States are operated in my State"
Controls on textiles include regu.
lations requiring the production o.
cloth for certain low-cost garments
and material for industrial anc
agricultural use.

Recalls Sacrifices
Thut Cove Victory

President Truman today issued the
following statement:
"On the first anniversary of We
day, the people of the United States
remember with grateful pride the
men and the women Of the United
Nations whose unstinted sacrifices
made the victory possible. The year
that has passed has made us realize
with greater awareness the nature of
their gift to this and succeeding gen.
erations. They gave us not justice,
but the opportunity to achieve it,;
not security, but the opportunity to
win it; not peace, but the opportun-
ity to make it. Let each of us judge
for himself how we'll in the past year
we have used what came to us at
such great price.
These opportunities will not be
ours forever. Unless we take advan-
tage of them fully, quickly and self
lessly they will slip from our grasp.
A year after We day the opportu-
nifty that 1t brought to build a just,
secure and peaceful world are still
with us. To the extent that we
maintain our unity within ourselves
and with other peoples, and to the
extent that we dedicate ourselves
wholly and unselfishly to the
mighty tasks confronting us, they
will become on succeeding anniver-
saries not narrowing but expanding
