Caps-ProvidenceD Dea
Hinfed as LoeffIer
Talks With UIine
By Bill Fuchs


Ken Loefflers sudden resignation
as coach of the st. Louis Bombers
TO accept similar position with the
lowly Providence Reds today gave
rise to speculation concerning
player-deal between the Caps and
Steamrollers
Loeff1er, evidently trying to bolster
st. Louis, was all set to buy one
of Coach Red Auerbach's men
Identity undisclosed - earlier this
week. Owner Mike Uline said as
much today, although Uline evi-
IDENTIFY didn't know of Loeffler's con-
templated move to Providence.
Il set price on this player" 4"
Uline said, "and Loeffier said he was
interested, but asked me to hold off
for week I didn't know he had
left st. Louis until I read it in the
paper"
1t now seems that Loeffler, who
lives in Washington, was making
plans for rebuilding the Rollers, not
st. Louis, when he approached
Uline. There had been talk that
Uline was dickering with him to re-
place Auerbach, but the local arena
owner disavows this.
Uline said he thought Loeff1er was
too rough to be successful at the
helm of the Caps.
"Feerick and Mckinney and that
bunch wouldn't put up with his
rough tactics at ALL" he added.
Loeftler signed a three-year con-
tract with the Steamrollers last
night after a brief conference with
Louis A. r. Pieri, owner of the
auditorium which operates the Roll
ers as well as the Rhode Island
Reds of the American Hockey
League. He succeeds Nat Hickey,

While the Rightist groups collectively

The Bovoriun Elections

Under ordinary circumstances, elections
for municipal Offices have little more than
local significance. In occupied Germany,
however, this is not the case AS part OF
It's temporary loss of sovereignty, the for
mer Reich has no national legislature,
while even the legislative powers of the
"laender" or districts into which 1t is
divided are circumscribed. Hence, elec-
tions for the municipal councils tend to
become sounding boards for the expression
OF public opinion on nationwide issues
and are thus valid indications of current
shifts in popular sentiment. This Is
especially true in the American zone OF
occupation, because elections there are
the freest in Germany.
All this renders noteworthy the munic-
ipal elections that have just been held in
Bavaria, especially when contrasted with
the previous elections of two years ago.
The outcome reveals even more strongly
a trend visible to a lesser degree in the
municipal elections held some weeks ago
in the other two laender of the American
zone-HeSse and Wuerttemberg Baden.
This is a sharp gain for the Rightist or
Conservative Parties and lesser gain for
the Communists. Such gains of the ex-
tremist wings are at the expense of the
moderate or middle-o the-road parties
the Social Democrats and the Christian
Democrats who, in Bavaria, 60 under the
name of the Christian Social Union.
Communist gains were registered chiefly
in the larger cities. They are thought to
be due mainly to clever local Communist
propaganda line which urged voters to
turn in Communist ballots as a means of
frightening" our military authorities into
assigning more food to Bavaria. The food
ration in Bavaria Is somewhat less than
that of the other laender because the
Bavarian Land Administration fell down
on it's commitments for native food collec-
ton and distribution and was docked ac-
cordingly While this explanation is prob
ably true to considerable extent, Com
runist agitation for reunited Germany
,eems to have had some effect.
The most surprising feature of the elec-
tions was the success scored by new
political organization, the so-called Bavar-
Ian Party, with its slogan: Bavaria for
the Bavarians." This represents re-
crudescence of the old particularism of
Bavaria, which retained much of its semi
national consciousness even under the
Hohenzollern Empire and the Weimar
Republic. It's stronghold Is In Upper

fuences are at their maximum. But other
Rightist groups likewise registered gains

they not let it be published throughout
the length and breadth OF the land for
the benefit of all of us?
These are the questions that the over
spending families of American would like
to have answered. Imitation being what
it is, rents, the cost of home building, and
the prices of things like food being what
they are, the problem sometimes seems a
bit too complex to be solved simply by
singing the undeniable virtues of the old
notices. What Is needed is a Federal
Reserve Board study showing in detail how
the IS per cent succeed in operating in the
