Packers Maui Boston,
Browns Nail Rockets,
Yanks Fire F|aherty
BY the Assoeio'ed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 18-Boston
may get all of baseball's World
Series, but its professional football
team doesn't appear to be of cham
pionship caliber.
The Boston Yanks opened the Ma
tional Football Leagues 29th sea-
son last night by bowling to the
Green Bay Packers, 81 to O. A sturdy
Packer line held the YankS to 16
net yards on the ground. They add
ed 107 yards via passes, but came
close to pay dirt just once.
Green Bay gained only 81 yards
through the air, but two of its II
completed passes went for touch
downs Jack Jacobs pitched IA
yards to Bob Forte for one tally;
Fred Provo tossed 20 yards to Nolan
Luhn for another and Ralph Ear
hart scampered 63 yards for third.
Other Green Bay points came on
a 25-yard field goal by Ted Fritsch
and a short sweep by Tony Canadeo
after a Boston handof play back
fired on its own 3-yard line.
Barber, Pecarovich Quit.
There was news on two fronts in
the rival All-America Conference.
Cleveland's champion Browns con-
tinued unbeaten with a 28-7 con-
quest of the Chicago Rockets and
the New York Yankees fired Head
Coach Ray Flaherty.
The New Workers. Eastern Divi-
sion kings, had lost three straight
games after winning their opener
from Brooklyn. Two Flaherty
aides-Line Coach Jim Barber and
Assistant Coach Mike Pecarovich-
quit the club with Flahertys dis
missal
Flaherty had a record Of 10 pro
football championship appearances,
two in the young circuit and eight
in the National Football League. In
the older loop he played end and
did the kicking for the New York
Giants.
He was named head coach Of the
Boston Redskins in 1896 and re-
mained with that club until 1912,
although it was transferred to
Washington. During World War II
he served in the Navy.
Norman (Red Strader, the back
field coach, was named head coach
of the Yankees to succeed Flaherty
for the remainder Of the season.
Graham Sparks Cleveland.
Strader was in Chicago where he
saw Otto Graham, Cleveland quar-
terback, toss three touchdown passes
and score one himself.
Graham dashed u yards in the
first period for the first touchdown
and passed four yards to Bill Boe-
deker in the second, which COM
bined with Lou Groza's two place
ments, gave the Browns 14-O edge.
The Rockets narrowed the margin
to 14-7 when Angelo Bertelli cI-
NAKED a 63-yard-drive with l3-
ward pitch to Elroy Hirsch. Steve
Judwik kicked the point.
Two passes from Graham to Bob
Cowan in the third period COM
pleted the scoring.
The All-America got the better OF
its older rival in the attendance
battle. The Boston-Green Bay game
drew 15,433 paying fans. Cleveland
and Chicago drew 30,6O8.

Hemisphere Customs
Union Proposed by
Argentina al Farley
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Sept. o. Argentina
today recommended gradual estab-
lishment of a Western Hemisphere
customs union.
The recommendation was pre-
sented to the fourth plenary session
of the Inter-American Council of
Commerce and Production by Ro-
dolfo Tarantoa, Buenos Aires
director of the Argentine Chamber
of Commerce. He read a speech
prepared by Arnaldo Massone, pres
ident of the chamber, who was un-
able to be present.
The speech, reviewing the Argen-
tine positions in inter- American
affairs, said, I'VE have staunchly de-
Tended bringing about gradually a
customs union for the new world
with the idea of obtaining some
day Pan-Amerioan economic unity
as an example worthy to be fol-
lowed by the other continents.
Encouraging Signs.
1.-THE Benelux in Europe and the
Gran Colombian Union in America
are recent encouraging signs that
we have not missed the road"
Meanwhile, the conference moved
into it's final days work with the
prospects of a late session whipping
up final declarations of policy. The
300 businessmen attending hope
these declarations will present the
business point of view to the Inter
American Conference in Buenos
Aires in March.
What will come out of the Draft
ing Committee-after the other
three committees have finished their
topics-was uncertain. Conference
spokesmen felt certain there would
be some form of a proposal for aid
in rehabilitation of Latin Americas
war-torn economy.
Only Hope for Democracy.
There has been much talk of a
Marshall Plan for Latin America,
with the mechanics to be filled in
later. But businessmen, torn be-
tween ideals OF Tree enterprise ana
governmental action. have hesitated
to call for unrestricted govern
ment aid
The nations of America are
mans best. perhaps only, hope" to
keep freedom and democracy alive,
a New York business executive told
the council yesterday.
The speaker, Curtis E. Calder.
chairman of the board of Electric
Bond & Share Co., said that pos
terity will hold us to account if
we are content to rest while any
of our resources of men and mate
rials remain dormant.
Earl o. Shreve, president of the

tern Of transportation is clear,
or where it can be predicated
based upon existing normal
movements of passengers or
frleght--aS in the United States
proper.
Here we are on the outmost
fringe OF territory owned by
the United States; its easter
most possession in this hemi-
sphere, an area where there is
no previous comparable trans
portation pattern---an Island
whose whole economy can be
changed in a short span of
years by adequate air trans
portation. 1t is in fact a situa-
ton which can be compared
most wildly with the Western
United States before the adj
vent of the railroads. There
you had lands of potential
wealth which could not be eco
nomlcaIly developed because
OF lack of transportation. Pri-
Ivate capital and enterprise saw
the possibilities, developed the
roads and transformed the
country from wilderness to
prosperous areas. ADEQUATE
direct transportation facilities
Furness L~ines)made Bermuda
Direct railroad, steamer and
air transportation transform
ed Florida from swamps to the
foremost resort in the United
States. Our British, French
and Dutch competitors in the
Caribbean Area enjoy direct
air transportation from the
United States, and as a result
capital is being invested in
these islands to enlarge pre-
sent facilities (American CAPT.
tai In most cases.. At a meet
last week here with a Director
|of the Hamilton Wright Organi
cation of New York it was
brought out that a contemplate
ed yearly expenditure of $40,
10000 for publicity for ST.
lCroix would be partly wasted,
unless we had direct air SER
vice with the mainland.
We, therefore, find that ST.
|Croix, which is probably bet
ter suited for tourist develop
ment than competing Islands
in the area is now in the back
ground, at the end Of a wagon
trail. Though we are under the
American flag, American capi-
tai prefers investments under
foreign flag for new ventures
in the tourist field rather than
tying up capital in St. Croix
because it is off the transpor-
tation map. The mainland tax
payers are paving the bill for
, 1948-02-06

the granting of a certificate
to them. This is the position of
our Chamber--a position which
comedies with the opinion of
our Legislature and the Adj
ministration of this Island, and
with the Department Of the
Interior, under whose juris-
diction the Virgin Islands are
placed, and last, but not least,
with the strong opinion and
conviction of the inhabitants of
st. Croix.
The Island of ST. Croix has
for generations been depend
ing on an economy based upon
the growing of sugar cane and
the production of sugar and
rum. For more than IS years
this economy has been failing
to show a profit; for more than
10 years the Federal Govern
ment through the Govern
ment Corporation Virgin Is
lands Company--has under
written the sugar industry, af-
ter private capital suffered
bankruptcy--and the govern
ment has lost heavily every
year, to the ultimate loss of
U. S. taxpayer.
In addition to the losses sus
tanned from the sugar indus
try the Federal Government
has had to contribute a year
ly sum to balance the budget of
ST. Croix - for last year alone:
$140, 100000, to which must be add
ed the salaries of certain federal
officials. This expense is also being
betrayed by the U. S. taxpayers
on the mainland.
Since World War II st. Croix
has had the advantage of improv-
ed air-transportation services. The
U. S. Army, during the war, built
Benedict Field, which, as you
know, is one of the largest airfields
in the Caribbean Area with a par
ticularly favorable location and
approach. AS Of January !, 1913
this airfield was turned over to the
Municipality of st. Croix for oper-
alton.
Within the last 10 months pri-
vate local capital has built and is
operating two up-to-date hotels,
and guest houses have been open
ed. There is another hotel under
construction. The current inquiries
and demand indicate the favor
which the people of the United
