others who take credit for this
amazing public surge in their own
line are merely being goofy. They
don't even have to be smart or
good. Just open the gate. Make it
dog fight. 1t doesn't seem to mat
ter.
But there is at least one detail
that can't be missed. In this cOun-
try or nation of some 3 million
square miles and some 40 million
sport-lOving people, there is room for
two major professional football
leagues.
The New York Giants proved that
when, facing double competition
from the Yankees and the Dodgers
they packed the Polo Grounds with
their greatest crowd. The Cleveland
Browns, in the new league, have
passed any expected mark. They
have set new records up abOve TO-
900.
So far, in their exhibition and
their scheduled games, both leagues
have gone far beyond early expecta-
tions.
The situation hasn't been SO hot In
several spots, including Los An
geles-a hot college center-but the
general average has been exception
al.
The Giants could play at least one
game a season before 100000 spec
tators-if there were room enough
to park the human frame.
We still believe, as far as the two
leagues are concerned, that there is
room enough in this country for 10
pro teams, in each league.
And both leagues can save enough
to pack mint by working out the
same arrangement the National and
American baseball leagues have to-
day.
The rivalry of the two leagues
has made baseball what it is The
same inter league rivalry, with a
postseason championship, viii be
just as effective for pro football.
In such an event, we could have
results thrown against futile argu-
mentS.

she could not dictate. Chaos. if not

AS the negotiations continued,
however, slowly out of the mists
along the Volga another shape be-
came visible. It was the materiali-
zation of one phase of the divide and
conquer principle. In this case it
was the open bid for German SYM

turn the Germans in the American,
British and French zones away
from those countries and toward
Russia. Although it was Russia it.
self which prevented the economic
unification of Germany (plus Com
munistic influences in France and
French fears) it was Russia which
suddenly offered the grandiose plan
of a unified Germany with hint
at rectification of the eastern from
tier at the expense of Poland. This
sensational suggestion burst over
Europe and the conference like a
thunderbolt but thanks to the quick
action of Byrnes it proved BOOM
erang. Byrnes knew what to shoot
at and he shot.
The Wallace incident which for
"a hours threatened to cut Byrnes'
support from under him fortu-
nately had just the opposite effect.
Byrnes insisted on reputation of
Wallace by the President and got

showed that American policy would
give Germany everything that the
Russian plan would give her and

at the idea put forth by the Russo
phileS that all we have to do is to
assure Russia Of her security, re-
move her suspicious and fears Of
democracy, and then she will march
shoulder to shoulder with the rest
Of us. Fischer says Russia's be-
havior is explained not by fear of
attack but by certainty that she will
not be attacked. This belief seems
to be back of the American action
here today. 1t is to be hoped that
during the negotiations at Lake Sue
cess, Russia's more specific objec-
tives will be revealed as they were
in Paris. Fischer claims that
Russia is not afraid and not sus-
picious for two clear reasons: The
British empire is in decline and on
the defensive; America rushed from
victory to headlong psychological
and military rehabilitation" If
that is true then it must be made
very clear to the Soviets that re-
gardleSs Of what we may think
about the decline Of the British en-
pire and Americas sharp reaction
against military activity, there is
nevertheless line beyond which
Russian expansion will not be al
lowed to 60. It is to be hoped
that line already has been reached.
The necessity, however, is to make
it very clear to both the American
public and the Russian government
that this point has been reached.
Since it is admitted that Russia can
not and does not want to fight, it is
not question of war.
1t is expected that the pin-prick-
ing policy by Yugoslavia will con-
tinue. At this writing further eff
forts to obtain control of the Dar-
danelles are limited to name-call-
ing in the Russian press. It must
also be remembered that when the
United States put its foot down and
Russia saw that it would not pay
to 60 farther. Tito could go into re-
verse.

The T1UO Best Backs

Several correspondents have writ
ten in lately, asking II any other
football team ever had a pair Of
backs to match Blanchard and Da-
Wis, Army's terrifying football
twins. Let's look at the record, Is
AL Smith used to say.
Carlisle's Indians once had Thorpe
and Guyon-nOt too bad. Harvard
had Mann and Brickley. Yale had
Coy and Philbin. Michigan had Hes
ton and Boss Weeks. Cornell offers
Pfann and Kaw. Pennsylvania had
H0llenbsck and Manner. Stanford
had Grayson and Hamilton. NOtre
Dame has had many great pairS-a
longer list than most of the others.
Minnesota, Tennessee, Alabama
these and many others-have had
strong backfeld combinations,
counting only two men.
But we can't locate at the mo-
ment any other combination that
ranks with Doc Blanchard and
Glenn Davis in all-around ability and
destructive effectiveness.
In making a complete check you'll
come upon these facts
1. Davis and Blanchard are bril-
liant ball carriers, through the line
or out in the open. Both are ex-
tremely fast.
2. Both can throw a pass and both
can handle a pass.
3. Both are excellent blOckers.
4. Both know how to tackle and
are strong defensiveIy.
S. Both are dangerous opponents
against rival pass.
6. Both can kick.
Z. Both are packed with stamina
and durability and both give all they
have at every start. Neither is tenn
peramental or swelled-headed. They
happen to be two fine kids who
play the game for the love Of it.
In looking back many years over
a long list we can't locate any team
that had any such pair among its
backfeld talent, not for few games
but through the greater part Of
three hard seasons.
When you've seen Blanchard and
Davis turned loose on some field
you've looked upon the best that
football has ever had to offer.

and British imperialists, headed by
Winston Churchill, for seeking world
domination.
ignoring Molotov's political
charges, Austin entered into a dis
cussion of the proposals raised by
the Russian:
If the Russians wanted interna-
tional disarmament, the U. S. would
gladly oblige, provided an adequate
system of inspection and other safe
guards would be established to guar
antee fulillment of the program. Aft
er the last war, Austin recalled, the
U. S. accepted the principle of dis
armament but remained alone in
carrying it out
If the Russians desired a report
on the number of Allied troops in
non-enemy states. the u. S sug-
gested that the check be extended to
former enemy countries as we'll
(Such an all conclusive report would
provide the world with an adequate
estimate of Russian troop strength
behind the iron curtain, said by
Churchill to total 200 divisions)
If the Russians opposed modi-
fication of the veto power at this
time, the U. S. also was against re-
vision of the U. N. charter How
ever, the U. S. hoped that the Big
Five could get together in the fu-
ture to modify the veto in the case
of peaceful settlement of disputes.

COTTON:
King Tun1bLes

Southern legislators called for de-
control of finished textiles and gov
ernment purchases of the crop to
stabilize the sagging cotton market.
Within two weeks of spiraling SELL
ing, the commodity had dropped $50
a bale and sunk below 30 cents a
pound from peak of nearly 40
cents.
Senator Maybank (Dem., S. c.
and Representative Sparkman
Dem.. Ala.) joined Senator George
(Dem., Ga.) in calling for decontrol
of finished textiles At a time when
the new crop was coming in mills
were forced to limit purchases to
120 days ahead to protect them
selves in the fiuctuating market and
stay within their ceilings, George
said.
AS the South reverberated with
charges that widespread speculation
by farmers, merchants, doctors,
etc., had brought about the crash,
Rep. Rankin (Dem., Miss.) called
for legislation to curb future opera
tions on the exchanges. Meanwhile.
officials of the New York market
denied that the big break was caused
by the liquidation of long inter-
ests, contradicting earlier reports
that the slump had started with the
clean-out of the account of Thomas
Jordan, who had parlayed a $500
loan into million in cotton.
However, arrangements were
made for the sale of Jordan's seat
on the New York stock exchange
for $64. 900.

SAFE WINTER DRIVING URGED

DEMONSTRATING that highway

Sheridan of the Montana Highway
Patrol, today urged auto owners
and truck fleet operators to pre-

Supervisor Sheridan declared.
Principal causes for high winter
accident rates are the added haZ-

not provide as good traction on
snow and ice as did natural Visi-

on windshields, side and rear win
dows, and by longer hours of dark
ness.
Nov is the time to prevent ac-
cidents by getting safety parts into
proper shape for winter driving, he
pointed out. Careful check should
be made of brakes, tire chains,
windshield wipers, defrosters, head
lights and even the exhaust. Some
of these winter safety necessities
should be checked even by fortunate
owners of new cars if they would
avoid a smash-up or being stalled.
On the thousands of average
vehicles still in use, it is imperative
that sincere attention be given to
safety features as well as customary
mechanical check-ups, oil change or

He stated that at the present time there is not much good equipment on hand.
