Football Season
Over Basketball
Starts At RMHS

After defeating the Gathers
burg Trojans, 1872, a victorious
conclusion of the 1913 football
season, Richard Montg ONE y
Rockets eagerly await the arrival
of basketball.
The strong RMHS eleven has
won five and lost four games this
season to result with more wins
than any of the tackle football
teams for the past five years.
Under the able coaching of Rob-
ert Smith, a star Of the Maryland
team in 1941, the squad has beaten
such teams as Herndon, Gathers
burg, Sherwood, Frederick and
National Training School.
One of the hardest fought games
of the year was played against
Blair, who found it tough job to
beat the Rockville boys by score
of 25 to 10. Blair, one of the
strongest teams in the county, was
quite surprised when they found
out what terrific battle they had
on their hands. The game ended
with Richard Montgomery on the
Blair 20-yard line striving for the
winning touchdown,
Since football is over, basketball
will soon get underway. A large
squad is expected to turn out for
practice, many of whom will be
football boys.
A successful basketball season
is expected by faculty members
and students of RMHS. The sup
port of townpeople will be greatly
appreciated.

the Allied Control Council.
Russian troops arrested a state

authorities said they tried to kid

The woman, identified as Elsa
Pfeffer, was wrested from the Rus
slams by American military police.
The incident was the most serious
involving the two police forces since
the start of the four power occupa-
ton of Vienna.
Account of Incident.
American authorities gave this ac-
count of the incident:
The kidnapping took place this
afternoon near the Kahlenberg, q
castle in the Vienna woods over
looking the city.
The woman had left the displaced
persons camp at Cobenzl when a
civilian car with the three Russians
inside pulled up alongside her.
She was forced into the automo-
bile and a gun pushed into her ribs
British and French soldiers in an
international military police patrol
car saw the incident and notified
the American driver. The patrol
followed the car, forced it into the
curb and ordered the Russians to
proceed to the nearest American
military police district.

Action Held Deliberate.
In declaring Mr.. Lewis and the
UNIV guilty of both civil and crimi-
nal contempt yesterday, Justice
Goldsborough indicated he wanted
to Jail Mr.. Lewis. He said, in
effect, that a heavy fine could
not reimburse the country for
the damage caused by the coal
strike and the issue of defiance on
the courts must be met head-on,
regardless of "expediency."

get one of the horse-drawn patrol
wagons.

and, after he joined the force, his
6-foot, 240-pound figure was familiar
on the citys streets.
Joined Navy in Teens.
Before joining the force and while
still in his teens, Mr.. Birkigt joined
the Navy and was fireman on the

Hoffman ScoIds Army
As Biased for Unions
In Troop Pamphlet

Army information chiefs were
criticized today before a House sub
committee for alleged bias in favor
of labor unions in a publication dis
tributed throughout the armed serv-
ices.
Two generals were asked by
Chairman Hoffman of the Expendi-
lures Subcommittee, why in their
Armed Forces Talk" pamphlet, all
the benefits but none of the faults
of the union system were stressed.
This recent pamphlet and others,
however, were staunchly defended
by 1t. Gen. Raymond S. Mclean,
chief of Army Information and a
spokesman for Secretary OF the
Army Royal and Brig. Gen. c. T.
Lanham, chief of the troop infor-
nation division.
Suggest End Of Program.
Several members of the sub-com-
mittee suggested that the Army
should consider. abandonment OF
its personnel education program,
since, in their view, controversial
subjects had not been presented
with complete impartiality.
Representative Hoffman even i'm
piled that some person with Com
munist leanings might have hand
in the preparation of some OF the
material distributed to enlisted men.
This was emphatically denied by
Gen. Lanhanl,, who declared that
all those in the information divl-
sion have been thoroughly screened
by Army intelligence.
Mr.. Hoffman expressed hope that
the Army was less gullible than we

that the bring them home stam-
pede which broke up the armed
services in the Pacific after the vic
tory over Japan was touched of in
part by the writings of personnel
on the Stars and Stripes, who later
were discovered to be Communist
sympathizers.
The generals insisted that their
treatment of current topics was as
impartial as possible and the
Army's educational program was
merely a continuation of the train
ing the soldiers had received in
their homes, churches, schools and
colleges.
