American U. Drops Game
 Permanently

Washington, Oct. 1-(UP)-Amer- ican University today dropped foot ball with charge that colleges are recruiting players in "the biggest black market operation ever related to educational institutions"
 "A human slave market extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada especially to Alabama" 1" President Paul F. Douglas of the university charged.
 Day by day young men come to the auction block for sale to the highest bidder. The bidding is bitter, determined and interruptions" he said. 'The country is ridden by agents and scouts directed by coaches who receive salaries higher than uni- versity presidents"
 American University, formerly 8 member of the Mason-Dixon confer ence, temporarily discontinued foot ball during the war. Today's decision by the board of trustees banned foot ball permanently at the university, which has not had a football team since 1941 and which had no games scheduled this year.
 Hurts Education
 Robert V. Fletcher, board chair man and vice president of the asso- citation of American railroads, said in commenting on the ban that post war college football has no more re- lation to education than bull-fight- ing to agriculture"
 He said he saw no reason why "one corporation should hire a spec ialized group of employees to outrun, out-bump and out-bruise the speci- alized employees of another corpora- ton hired for the same purpose"
 Douglass, in his bitter indictment of player recruiting, said:
 "The CT Bill has raised the ceil- ing of maintenance" for these hu- man beings who surrender their complete freedom to the coaches today's slave drivers.
 Monthly Benefits
 Tn addition to the tuition, books and subsistence payments of the vet erans administration, the football players acquired at prevailing mar ket prices receive-benefits some- times reaching $200 a month. These payments are sometimes made in cash, sometimes by book entries and sometimes by fictions of work jobs. '

Pro Giants Stop pYonks
By IJnitefa PreSs)

Frank Filchock, former Indiana University star who spent six years in the shadow of Sammy Baugh on the Washington Redskins before asking for a release and chance to star on his own, appeared today to have made good move for him. self and the New York Giants.
 He was the important figure in the Giants IT to 0 victory over the Boston Tanks last night in the sea- son-opener for both teams, although he didn't score a point. Filchock, 8 fine passer, set up the first touchdown on a 56-yard run from 8 passing formation, ran for another score that was called back because of penalty, and completed six of 12 passes for 45 yards. Merle Hapes cracked the line for both Giant touchdowns, and Ken Strong added two conversions and 36- yard field goal.
 Boston was weak in both running and passing. Paul Governali tried 13 losses, most of them accurate, but receivers dropped them. Twice the Tanks were stopped on the Giant five-yard-line.

Pro Football
 War Starts New Chapter

Chicago, Oct. 2-(UP)-The Chi cago rockets of the new All-America Football Conference haven't a coach, but their roster" includes lawyer and that's highly important today as the professional football "war" moved into another chapter.
 The rival All-America and the old, established National Football went into court again with their controversies when owner John L. Keeshin of the Chicago Rockets filed a $250,0O0 libel suit against George Halas, owner-coach of the Chicago Bears and one of pro foot balls pioneers.
 Keeshin's suit is the outgrowth of a statement made by Halas Monday after the Rockets attempted to sign the Bears star quarterback, Sid Luckman, as their coach. Luckman was offered a three year contract and an annual salary of $25,000 to take over the Rockets. He is re- ported to be receiving $15,000 an- nually from the Bears.
 Robert Barrett, vice. president of the Rockets and attorney for the club, filed the suit.
 Halas took the filing of the suit calmly.
 Lawyers get more important in this business every day." he laughed, q had considered the Luckman case a closed incident after Sid turned down the offer and said he was sticking with the Bears. Now, however I may file suit against the Rockets for attempting to get him to breach his contract"
 Halas charged in his blast at Keeshin that the offer to Luckman was "a subversive attempt to tear down the Bears" and claimed the action removed the last hope for peace between the pro grid circuits.

 Soaking weather and the new deal in football conspired to make the second week of this gridiron season one of the most upsetting ones in history, which had been anticipated by this statistical camp and many others.
 At that the System didn't do so bad considering it batted 84.5 per- cent on 223 games reported. Among its especially good picks were Ken lucky 26 Cincinnati T, Whitman ' Whitworth 6, Wisconsin 28 Cal- ifornia 2, Hardin Simmons 21 Kan sas State ', Rhode Island IA Maine 13, Youngstown 20 St. Bonaventure IA, and others. It was practically alone on some of its selections.
 Last week the first 10 teams of the nation included at the top of the heap Texas for stampeding Col orado by 76 to O. A stampede of longhorns is irresistible.
 At second place barged in the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame by downing the Illini, 26-6. Army had 8 little trouble, but is at third for pulling out over the Oklahoma Sooners, 21-7. At fourth came the Uclans for submerging the Beavers of Oregon State by 50 to '.
 The next six leaders of the week are Georgia, Minnesota, Michigan, L.S.U., Stanford and Alabama.

edged preparations are running con-
siderably behind as result of the
most serious shortage of, its kind
the printing Office ever has faced.
In prewar years. the paper supply
never was a problem, he explained.
During the war years. ample sup
plies were assured through the War
Production Board This year the
Government must compete on an
open market for an extremely scarce
commodity which is all the more
difficult to obtain because of price
concessions which must be made to
the Government.
Mr.. Giegengack was frankly un-
certain as to how the paper require
ments for income tax reporting pur-
poses might affect other Govern
ment printing. There probably will
be many delays, he said. Only a few
days ago, it was disclosed that if
Congress was in session, the paper
for printing the Congressional Rec
ord would not be available.
Regardless of other orders, how
ever, Mr.. Giegengack made it clear
the income tax blanks will have the
No. l priority as the first step
toward bringing in the estimated
$34 ,000, 100000 in revenue from this
source.

Hearings for Parents
OF DeIinquents Urged

Criminal liability of parents of
delinquent children was advocated
last night by the Federation Of Civic
Associations at its initial fall meet
ing.
Acting on a delinquency report
submitted by DR.. E. F. Harris, for
mer Federation president, the group
called for prosecution of the parents
of delinquent children in Police
Court instead of sending the youth
full offenders to Juvenile Court. An
other recommendation asked that
District law be amended to require
children to attend school until they
are 18, instead of the present maxi
mum age, 16.
DR.. Harris said the delinquency
problem came to the attention of his
group through teachers who COM
planned of too much lettering at
schools.
In addition to DR. Harris, the COM
mittee which prepared the report
included Guy Timer and William
P. Thomas.
The Federation voted its support
of Capital Transit Co.'S proposal to
substitute buses for streetcars on the
Benning road line. Business groups
in the Northeast area are opposed to
the switchover.
A committee was elected to call on
President Truman and urge the re-
moval of Brig. Gen. Albert Cox as
commander of the District National
Guard. They charged that Gen. Cox
has made no provision at the armory
on Kingman Lake for the 1st Sepa-
rate Battalion and, instead, proposes
to give it inadequate space elsewhere.
Last nights meeting, held in the
boardroom of the District Building,
was conducted by President Woolsey
w. Hall.

Sailors Shoot al Hacker
After Refusing 10 Pay Fare

Two 20-year-old colored sailors
who toured Washington last night
in a taxicab and then fired a part
ing revolver shot at the cab driver
after forcing him to leave without
pay were being questioned by police
today.
The cab driver, Harry L. Hart,
1902 Foote street NE, said he picked
up the two sailors and a girl at
Seventh and T streets NV, at mid
night. He took them to the 460O
block of Garfield street NV, then
to the $500 block of Thirteenth street
NV, he stated.
When they got out of the cab at
the last address, they refused to pay
the fare, Mr.. Hart said. One of the
sailors pointed the revolver at him
and said, "get in your cab and get
going" Mr.. Hart told police. AS he
drove away, a shot was fired at his
car which missed, he said.
Police arrested the trio and re-
covered the pistol shortly after Mr..
Hart reported the incident. The
girl, II, was released.

Income Tax Blanks Promised

But, come what may, the paper

This very positive assurance came
today from Augustus E. Giegengack,
public printer.
AS matter of fact, he said, go

5,620,550 pounds of paper needed
for the income tax job already have
