NEW YORK, Oct. 12-B-
Football fanatics, just catching
their breath today after Satur-
days thrilling college gridiron
skirmishes which produced more
than the usual share of upsets,
lopsided scores and an impor-
tant scoreless deadlock, were be-
moaning the fate that keeps the
powerful Notre Dame and Michi-
gan elevens from clashing head
on this year.
Quite a few armchair experts
believe that Coach Frank Leahy S
Fighting Irish and Fritz Crisler's
Wolverines are the two top col
lege teams in the country, some
are even of the opinion that
Michigan boasts an eleven on a
par with if not better than the
Wanted Notre Dame aggregation.
Since the two high scoring
outfits do not meet, it is difficult
to make an accurate comparison,
but the Wolverine adherents
point to Michigan's $50 rout of
Pittsburgh yesterday to offer a
possible measure of comparison.
A week ago Notre Dame defeat
ed Pitt 40-6.
It was the third straight over
whelming triumph for the VOL
verines who smell Rose Bowl
blossoms. They swamped STAN
ford 49-13 last week following a
$50 walkover of a strong Michi-
gan State team. Yesterdays sta
tistics were appalling - first
downs % to one, rushing 262
yards to 10. passing 234 to SO.
The Ramblers of Notre Dame
did not have such ar easy time
of it as did Michigan, although
they scored a 22-7 triumph over
a good Purdue team for their
second straight win. In fact, the
Irish were outrushed and out
fought by the battling Boiler
makers and won mainly because
of quarterback Johnny Lujack's
passing w%izardry. The six-foot

the Cadets deadlock with Notre

games the West Pointers failed

a pre-game favorite to hand
Army it's first defeat in four
years, had much the better of the
play and just before the first
half blew a chance for a field
goal from the 15-yard line. 1t was
the fifth meeting between the
two teams, the first since 1884.
The honors stand exactly even,
with two victories apiece.
Navy also played a tie, COM

this is the only showing of the

An effort was made to book

By Thomas G. Buchana,

The tall man in the white suit leans across
the table and smiles at Mary Jones' as the
Commission on Mental Health begins another
Gay of hearings at st. Elizabeths Hospital
His voice is quiet, and the reporter leans
forward, too to catch his questions.
Mary do you know why you're here?"
81 can't hear you,' says Mary Jones. Il
can't hear what you're saying"
And that is not strange, for Mary Jones,
resting in her wheel chair, is 86.
DO you know where you are? Mary, tell
me, do you know what year this is? Do you
remember where you live?"
Mary doesn't know. Mary can't remember.
A voice says: "Senile dementia." "Obviously
lost touch with things" says a voice. Mary
can't quite hear what they're saying.
Mary is lucky. 1t can be an ordeal for those
who hear, and understand, that people are
discussing their commitment to a mental
institution.
Less fortunate is middle-aged Mrs. Brown
Her husband sits beside her as she tells the
commission she feels her periods of dependency
are past She's we'll enough to be released says
Mrs. Brown

reaching out to him for his support, the assur-
ance of his confidence that she is well. He
faIters.
'I would like to stand by my wife, but
don't want to make mistake" he tells the
commission. Earlier, in his wife's absence,
he had accepted the verdict of st. Elizabeths

ment.
I'm afraid I must leave the decision up
to you," he concludes. His eyes drop So do

General Hurbord

The story of James Guthrie Harbord
deserves expansive telling. So various
were his gifts and so wide was his en-
pIoyment of them that book of consider
able size would be required for an adequate
appraisal. He was too large, too strong,
too compelling person to be crowded
into few paragraphs. Yet it is feasible
to brief the man and his work. And the
first point to be mentioned in such sum-
mary is that he was self-made. He SYM
bolized for his generation the rich poten
tialities of American life, untrammeled
except by reasonable democratic standards.
Born on a farm in Illinois, General
Harbord was the son of cavalry trooper
and grew up in the tradition of the Army.
He tried for West Point and lost the ap
pointment through politics. Undismayed
by the disappointment, he enlisted as
private in the 4th Infantry and was
sent to Washington Territory. What fol-
lowed was gruelling business. The young
recruit learned "the hard way'-and never
regretted it in after years He was in
Cuba with the Rough Riders, in the Philip
pines with Leonard Wood, in France with
Pershing. The record of his Marines at
Belleau Wood proved his capacity as
leader in the field He confirmed his
countrys appreciation of him by his
command of full division in the drive
against the Germans at scissors Next
he was put in charge of the American Ex-
peditionary Force Service of Supply. His
achievement in that post is legend.
After the armistice, mission to Armenia
occupied General Harbord for a while. He
was fifty-six when he entered the second
important phase of his career as president
of the Radio Corporation of America. The
new wireless communications industry
needed men of his talents and especially
men of his character. He soon demon
strated his ability to guide an enterprise
for which the rules had to be made from
day to day in response to immediate de-
mand Craftsmanship, infinite tact, vast
patience and a generous tolerance were
needed for the successful discharge of such
duties.
But General Harbord was equal to the
challenge of his opportunity. The Second
World War furnished him with a fnal
chance to show his worth, and he rejoiced

New Era of Fire Fiqhtino

Splitting of the atom, with it's potential
hazards for people and property in event
of an atomic war. has posed a problem
which may necessitate revolutionary
changes in traditional fire fighting methods
and equipment. The problem has been
emphasized by speakers at the annual
conference. of the International Associa-
ton of Fire Chiefs in New York City.
Chief Edward Wischer of the Milwaukee
Fire Department keynoted the discussions
with a warning that most of the Nations
fire departments are not equipped to deal
with the type of catastrophe which could
strike city in the atomic era. Depart
ments which escaped the initial destruc-
ton would, unless specially trained, find
themselves hopelessly inadequate to deal
with radioactivity, for example. Yet un-
less some way is found to protect fire.
men, police and rescue workers against
this deadly menace, the task of fighting
fires, rescuing victims and rendering first
aid will be a dangerous, if not impossible
one.
Fantastic as the possibility of SUCH an
emergency ever arising may seem to some
persons, the peril nevertheless will exist
as long as the threat of atomic warfare
exists. Fire and police authorities cannot
afford to ignore this threat. They must
share with military and other authorities
the responsibility for studying the prob
lem and taking whatever measures may
seem to be required to meet it. The Inter
national Association of Fire Chiefs is the
logical organization to assume leadership
in this prudent move to strengthen our
defenses on the civilian front.
