DeIuwure.'s Unorthodox STYLE
Forces Terps to Shift Defense

The Terps are up against some-
thing unusual on Friday light
Scouting reports on the Delaware
football team playing Maryland on
Friday night at College Park show
that the Blue Hens use about the
most unorthodox offensive formation
imaginable. It helps explain their
32-game undefeated string.
The Delaware team, says F1ucie
Stewart, who secuted its 25-13 win
over Penn Military, uses a double
wingback formation with the block
ing back on the left, along with
an unbalanced line to the left.
About so per cent of the Terp play
ers never have heard Of such a
formation, and 80 per cent Of them
never have seen such q thing even
for one play. But the Blue Hens
use it as their regular system.
Most unbalanced football forma-
tions have the strength to the right,
because that's the direction in which
8 of 10 players run their best. To
cope with this business to the left,
Coach Jim Tatum must devise a
whole new defensive setup for the
Maryland team this week.
Among individual Blue Hen stand
outs are Gerald Doherty, Bill Cole
and Walter Marusa. Doherty is a
150-pound halfback who runs like
scared rabbit, while Cole is
pounds more at the other halfback
and just as fast. This Marusa now,
Is 5-foot-7, 225-pound guard (not
214 as it says in the program. Hes
a real MIR. twenty-five in the line"
says Stewart, "and you just can't
move him."

Fordham Coach Ed Danowski,
whose Rams meet Georgetown at
Griffith Stadium Friday night, told
the New York Football Writer'S Asso-
citation yesterday that he was faced
with unhappy prospect of opening
his season against the Hoyas with
a squad which contains only six
backs. "At least we have won our
first game" he said. I'VE beat the
freshmen Saturday. 2l-l2."
Danowski had been basing his
defensive drills on the assumption
that Georgetown used the T-forma-
ton, but was disturbed by scout re-
ports that Coach Jack Hagerty used
his prewar spread about 80 per cent
Of the time against Wake Forest.
"You can't tell about this Hagerty, y
Danowski said. Last year he started

Shoddy Business

We thought the day of the speed trap was
a thing Of the past IN North Carolina.
But from Raleigh comes reports of a
concerted drive" against speeders by the
Town OF Garner which, because Of the Slip
shod manner in which the kgalities were
transacted, has all signs of being a scheme
to unnecessarily penalize motorists.
Garner's war on spseders GENE to light a
few days ago wnen its mayor, who is also
a magistrate, sent IN a report which merely
listed names Of 28 persons fined for speed
ing and two tried for disorderly conduct.
The clerk of Wake county Superior court
then called for the warrants.
All, according to the report in the News
nd Observer, are incomplete and lacking In
essential information. Witness fees are
charged on some, but no witnesses are listed.
Some of the motorists, all of whom paid
the IS fine and costs, paid for subpoenas
which apparently were never issued. IN
other cases, both arrest fees of $3.50 per
case, and Officers return ices were
charged the motorists but not a single war

Whether the defendants ever were actual

The i'll will created among travellers on

the village, who were arrested will be more
damaging in the long run than whatever
monetary returns the community or its Of
ficials received. This is not to say that these
motorists were not guilty. Perhaps they
were. But the manner in which the warrants
were handled indicates that many NAV have
been punished without full protection of the
due process of law.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-When
OPA controls ended on June 30,
1916, prices paid to farmers
jumped nearly rs per cent in
a few months. They have never
come down. Instead, they have
gone steadily up.
y. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, reporting on prices
paid to farmers as of Sept. IS,
finds them at 286 per cent above
the 1909-14 base period average.
That is four per cent above the
previous month, 10 per cent
above a year ago, and % per
cent above the post-World War
I high of 235 in May, 1920.
While the prices received bv
farmers have gone III, the
prices paid by farmers for the
things they buy from town such
as farm machinery, building
materials, fertilizer, mixed
feeds, furniture, clothing and
the foods the farmer can't grow
for his own needs, have been
going up, too.
Prices paid by farmers went
up one per cent for the month
ending Sept. Is, to a new all
time high of 237 per cent above
the 1909-14 average. This is 10
per cent above a year ago and
II per cent above the post
World War I peak of 202 per
cent, in 1920.
This 1909-14 period is taken as
base because those were the
years when farmers were sup
posed to be getting a square
deal. Wheat was only 80 cents
a bushel then. and hogs were
SIT a hundredWeignt. But
prices were stable. the things
farmers bought cost far less.
and, in general, it was thought
farm living was almost equal to
CITY living.
10 get at the measure Of this
relationship. the so-called "nari-
tv formula was devised. It is
the ratio of nricee r>ce'ved bv
farmers 70 r~icee pad hv farw-
ers. AS the figures cited @bove
show. prices received by farm
ers are at the index number of
286, while prices pa'3 by
farmers are at the i'm >x mum

Basically the crisis is progress
made by the Communists in
bringing about economic col
lapse, leading, as they hope. to
opportunity for them to
take over.
Industrial Paralysis Promoted
Their strategy is satanic,
manysided and subtle. First
they promote industrial paraly-
sis. In France, the interruption
of production and recovery is
progressive. A measure of this
is cessation of production, much
of it because of strikes. The fig
ures for last spring are avail
able. In April the number of
work days lost was just short
of 100, 900. In May it increased
to just over 500, 900. in June over
600, 900. Just how many strikes
are caused directly by Com
munists cannot, of course, be
SAID. But 1t is certain they cause
many, and that all serve their
purpose.
Having promoted the retard-
ing of production, the use the
Communists make of it. is
Machiavellian. They point to ii
as showing the French people
that the present system does not
work, and that they had there
fore better accept Communism.
To this argument is added an
other effect. Retarding of pro-
duction weakens the prestige OF

Reds Eager To Profit By Crisis

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. -
Since President Truman, barely
a week ago, laid before leaders
of Congress the need for funds
to avert crisis il Italy and
France, that crisis has come
nearer. Mr.. Humans estimate,
based on Information as of a
week ago, was that France and
Italy could be tided over until
Dec. / by existing funds avail
able in various governmental
agencies. His request from Con-
gress for $50 million dollars was
for a period beginning on that
date. But information coming
from Europe within the week
says that crisis, in France espe-
cially, may come even before
Nov. /.
AS expressed in figures, the
crisis is described as one of
money. France has some $780,
900, 900 Of gold reserves. but is
drawing on this at the rate OF
$120, 900, 900 a month. Crisis will
not wait until exhaustion Of the
funds; it will come upon reali-
cation of near = exhaustion. In
Italy, gold reserves are non
existent. Exhaustion of gold re-
serves, among other oalamitous
effects. is exhaustion of ability
to buy abroad what the coun~
tries desperately need for their
industries and to sustain their
peoples.
But figures and money are
merely the index Of the crisis.

Climb Of Farm Prices

$40 a bushel. The parity price
on wheat is $2.10 and on corn
$1.52. Hogs are now selling
above $27 a hundredweight. The
parity price is $17.20.
That may give one measure
of how much out of line farm
prices are today. sThey could
come down considerably with
out causing the farmer any
hardship, and without causing
the government to step in and
buy up huge quantities of farm
products at go per cent of pari-
ty, as it must do if prices 60
below that figure.
The government is committed
to pay these support prices on
specified principal farm prod
ucts until Dec. 81, 1913. Unless
Congress acts to extend this ar
rangement, the farmer will 60
back to a free market. Obvious
ly, in an election year, Congress
will not be inclined to pull the
props out from under the farm
vote in this manner.
The farm parity formula has
been revised from time to time.
In 1885, Congress included taxes
and interest in calculating the
index of prices paid by farm
ers. There is agitation now to
have the price of farm labor in
cluded in this index. Such an
amendment would give the
farmer further protection.
From the consumers stand
point, that is the trouble with
the parity formula calculations
as now set up. 1t is a one-Way
street. 1t can work only to the
advantage of the farmer. to see
that he gets his justice and an
even economic break.
During the depression, it was
the purchasing power Of the
farmers dollar that went down
the prices of the things he
had to sell went down, while
the prices on things he bought
stayed up. It was to correct this
injustice that much of the New
Deal farm program was set up.
Today, TIE exact opposite sit
uatlon prevails. It is the pur-
chasing power of the con
sumer's dollar that is down, and
there is no parity formula for
consumers.
Some revision of tn parity
formula that would automatical-
~ reduce government support
prices o"e"antoed to farmers.
when -'he index of urccs thav
receive gets too high, would
tend to correct today's unnatu-
1al farm price levels.

First, Secretary Reyall has and Is eon-

with the international situation as tense

His climb in Washington has been as rapid
as that of any of his contemporaries within

would be considered for the top security
post should Secretary of National Defense
Forrestal resign has been heard frequently
in recent months.
Second, Secretary Royal is a practical
man. If he were convinced he would be
elected Governor of North Carolina, it would
be reasonable to expect an immediate an
nouneement. Until he is positive, it is only
good politics to maintain an attitude similar
