Who's got the best team?
Army or Notre Dame

WHO'S GOT greatest football
team in the land? Sportsters ask
ed that last week and they are
seeking the answer again this
week, simply because when the
greatest and the greatest meet
there is no such Ting as most
greatest.
Fans at Yankee Stadium
watched two teams, which no
eleven i'm the land can match,
maui each other and pound
each other to no avail. A score
less tie ended the Army -Notre
Dame game because each team
had the other figured out too
well. The unbeaten Army team
of three years was out to keep
its record and the mighty Irish
were out to revenge distaste-
full $50 defeat of last year.

Davis, and Lujack didn't appear

because there weren't no such |
animals. The opposing tacklers
knew about everything the other
team had to offer and their sclen-
tific scouting had results.
Who is the most greatest? You
figure it out, don't know.
y
A MONTH AGO we predicted
that Northwestern's team would
fold before real midwest power.
We were laughed out because the
highly rated Evanston lads were
rated among the ten best in the
country and went out to tie the
Michigan gridders right after
that issue of the STAR rolled off
the presses.
A week after that the team
beat weak Minnesota eleven
by one touchdown on a break.
Then the two following Satur-
days saw miserable defeat for
the highly touted well-payed
huskies. Ohio State, beaten
badly by Big-Nine teams, climb
ed over the hapless Wildcats
by two tOuchdowns.
Last Saturday, the underdog
Indiana Hoosiers whipped the
larger Northwestern team again.
This time the score was 7-6.
Penalties and poor catching hurt
the Wildcats and they were
knocked out of the Big-Nine race.
The Illini look like the best bet
for that title and they'll lick the
Wildcats to take it.
Notre Dame faces that highly
rated Northwestern eleven this
week. The score will be brutal.

House Cmbs OPA Po,uers,
Extends To June 80, 1917

WASHINGTON, Apr. A = The
house banking committee today
voted, % to 3, to abolish the office
of price administration June 80,
1947, and at the same time moved
to restrict OPA functions until
that date.
The committee wrote the ter
mination date into the pending
price control extension act in the
form of an amendment by Rep.
Paul Brown (Dem., Ga.). It also
would give President Truman
power to recommend lifting spe-
cific controls when supply meets
demand.
Almost simultaneously new
threat to OPA arose when Eco
nomic Stabilizer Chester Bowles
ordered strict margin controls
placed on cotton exchanges. The
order requires the exchanges to get
higher and uniform margin pay
ments from traders buying on a
future delivery basis.
Cotton state congressman, bit
terly opposed to the action, seemed
taken by surprise but they warned
that OPA's life may be at stake.
Rep. Jamie L. Witthen (Dem.,
Miss.) said OPA is 'just piling up
more of a load" which it will have
to carry when the extension bill
reaches the floor.
Rep. Stephen Pace (Dem., Ga.)
indicated that southern congress-
men may get together tomorrow to
decide what steps to take.

3ll Vet Housing Units Get Underway
DAYTON GRANTS $4,000
FOR VET HOUSING SITES

The Dayton city commission last
night granted $4,000 to the Day
ton Metropolitan Housing Author
ity (DMHA) to prepare sites for
temporary housing for veterans.
The commissions action will
enable the DMHA to proceed with
erection of 311 units of temporary
homes for Montgomery county
vets.
O. B. Reemelin, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce housing
committee, said last night:
"The housing committee of the
Chamber of Commerce appreciates
the action taken by the city COM
mission, granting $4,000 to pre-
pare sites for temporary housing
for returned service people.
"This commendable action, along
with the action taken by the coun-
ty commissioners, supplying $685.
900 in county funds makes it pos
sible for the Dayton Metropolitan
Housing authority to proceed with
the erection of 311 units.
In the amount appropriated by
the city last night is the S1O,875
donated by the Montgomery coun-
ty salvage fund.
"The chambers housing COM
mittee reiterates it's appreciation
to the city and county officials
and the members of the salvage
committee for the splendid CO.
operation.
"The chambers committee fur
ther pledges itself to leave nothing
undone in securing additional units
and in effecting a long-range per-
manent housing program which
will give to every veteran an op-
portunity to purchase his own
home.",

work over here" he added, eff there
should be enough interest shown in
it,"
Mr.. Deeds expects his fiancee to
be happy in her new country. While
she Jared not too badly during the
German occupation of Paris, it has
been many years, Mr.. Deeds says,
since she or any other Parisienne,
has had anything resembling ade-
quate food. 1t is absolutely unat-
tainable in Paris unless you patro-
nize the Black Market. A ham
sandwich that he took to her from
his mess one evening was the first
ham she had seen in five years. In
a recent letter sh said that no 10
tatos had been available in the open
market for two months.
II sent her a box of food-which
took two months to arrive" said
Mr.. Deeds. "All kinds of timed
meat, sugar and powdered milk.
You can't imagine what that means
to people over there, or how they
make those things last. I had a
letter from my major last week
(he's still there and married to
Parisienne) and he says that the
food situation in Paris is much worse
this year than it was last"
AS the Globe-Independent report
er left, Mr.. Deeds remarked-"It
was worth all the red tape in the
world to get someone you love out
of situation like that, and I'm a
very happy man."

It was Springtime in Paris-and
who hasn't dreamed of it!
Paris in the April of 1945, when
the City of Light had shed the
dreary years of occupation and the
tramp of German bots was heard no
more. The chestnut trees were in
bloom again. Once more the streets
of the ancient capital swarmed with
the uniforms of many nations and
the Bots was misty green with new
leaves.
In the midst of all this, T/Sgt.
Claude Deeds of Hagerstown, of a
Map Reproduction Battalion attach
ed to Engineer Headquarters in
Paris, was busy with the highly sec
ret work of his outfit, which had re-
produced all of the invasion maps
and was then charged with map
making for the bombardment of
Germany.
Sergeant Deeds, who had spent
thirty months overseas, had moved
into Paris two weeks after the city's
liberation. His rusty high school
French had undergone a sea change
and he had become quite fluent and
had made friends among the Paris
ians.
So, on an April evening, he was
invited to accompany Some of them
to a party in Paris. 1t was a very
posh party, given by French gen
eral for group of French recruits
who had recently enlisted.
It started out to be a pleasant
evening and ended by being the
headiest of all combinations-April,
Paris, and love at first sight.
81 saw her." said Sergeant Deeds,
'the minute we walked in the door.
She was sitting over by the wall and
l just sort of knew-well anyway, 1
ended by dancing every dance with
her"
And that was the beginning of the
romance between Sergeant Deeds of
Hagerstown and Mile. Renee Louise
Marcelle Chausson of Paris-a ro-
nance that spanned time, the broad
Atlantic, and the seas of red tape
involved in bringing a foreign fan
Gee to these shores.
Following the party, the tall ser
geant inaugurated typical Ameri-
can courtship-he took Mile. Chaus-
son to movies and the dances at the
Red Cross. They window shopped,
strolled on the Champs Eleysees
and wandered through the Bots. He
was presented to her family, her
father Ga semi-invalid from gas in
the last wary and the aunt who
had reared Mile. Chausson after the
death of her mother They were
wonderful to him, he says, and
