Training Aids
One-Armed Lad
AP Newsfeatures

COVER, Mo. 49, This is the story
of a one-armed high school football
center.
1t begins back in 1885 when Err
ic COnnell, then six, was stricken
with infantile paralysis and left
with a paralyzed right arm.
Ernie loved football and for three
years, while his arm still was in a
cast, he kept playing in neighbor-
hood games. Through five major
operations, he never complained.
He tried hard but he could not
master ball handling with one
hand. One night Ernie confded in
his father, Louis Connell, a hard
ware merchant, of his great desire
to play football
A father-and-sOn training pro-
gram began. Each night the father
and Ernie practiced in the back
yard-Ernie centering the ball or
catching passes from his father. BY
the time he was II he had learned
to handle the pigskin.
After five years of training. Ern-
les big day came. AS a freshman.
he answered the football call of
Cover high school. Ernie made the
team and has held the center berth
Tor three years now, playing in
every game.
Ernie blocks from the left side.
On the defense, he moves to right
halfback position. He has learned
to use his hips to replace the lack
OF one arm. Ernie hips his oppo-
nents off balance and can drop a
ball carrier with a surging left
shoulder lunge.

| Man Faces Nine Years
lin Ex'otion Attempt

A 42-year-old man Is facing q
possible maximum sentence Of nine
years as q result Of his conviction
by a District Court jury yesterday
afternoon of attempting to extort
$25,00o from q Beauty parlor man
ager and of twice representing him
self to be q policeman.
The man convicted was Merle
Revell, who was listed when he
was indicted last May as living in
downtown hotel. He was found
guilty Of attempting to extort the
sum from Miller L. Winner, of the
first block of Charming street NV.
by threatening to malign his char
acter. He also was found guilty
of twice representing himself to be
policeman In connection with the
Incident. Judge Jennings Bailey,
who presided at the trial, did not
set date for sentencing. Revell
was prosecuted by Assistant United
States Attorney A. ]. Mclaughlin.
Another man, Theodore Self, %,
of Richmond Hills, NY, who was
indicted with Revell on the single
charge Of attempting to extort the
money, Is still at large. Self also
is under another indictment, re-
turned last year, charging him with
similar offense. The complain
ing witness in that case was re-
ported Ill, causing delay In the
trial date. Self has been cut under
$1,000 bond In the latter case.

He was accused Of being there at

any visible or lawful business and
without giving a good account Of

His attorney, Saul G. Lichtenberg,
told Judge Ellen K. Raedy that
Davenport should not have been
charged, because the statute speci-
fed that vagrancy must occur In .

Judge Raedy dismissed the case.

So much for the first six months.
After that period, there are num-
Der of options which the trainee can
exercise. He can remain for an addi-
tional six months training in the
national security training corps; he
can enlist in the armed services,
the national guard, or the enlisted
reserve corps with assignment to an
organized unit; he can enter one of
the service academies; take special
ist or technical work at an ap-
proved college, or exercise other
alternatives.
For those who cannot accept any
of the above-named options, there is
enlistment in the enlisted reserve
corps for six years, with active
duty requirements of not more than
80 days a year.
The first experimental unit at
Fort Knox has just about completed

CONGRESS-:
IStrauU Man

Of the two pressing reasons why
President Truman called congress
into special session in November.
one had been disposed Of but the
other kept hanging around like an
evil spirit as the year drew to a
close.
The senate and house had voted
strongly in favor of authorizing up
to 597 million dollars for emergency
winter relief for France, Italy, Aus
tria and China, but no such accord
was displayed in dealing with the
problem of imitation at home.
Rejecting President Truman's 10
point proposal for fighting imitation
by imposing wage and price con-
trolls and selective rationing, house
Republicans offered an anti-infation
bill based upon voluntary agree
ments for price reductions.
With tNo-thirds vote needed for
passage, the Republican measure
went down to defeat 2O2 to 1873. The
house split almost exactly along
party lines over the bill, not one
Democrat breaking ranks to vote in
favor of it.
1.-THE President has asked for
bread and you have given him a
stone," said Rep. Brent Spence
Dem., Ky.) in summing up the de-
bate for the Democrats. Rep. A. S.
(Mike) Monroney (Dem., Okla.)
busted off another bromide when he
charged the COP majority with
"setting up a straw man to combat
the menace of imitation"
That was the swan song for any
anti-inf1ation legislation during the
special session. Although the senate
was preparing to act on the house
killed bill, there appeared to be
little likelihood that the Republicans
would be able to put through their
proposals. y

TRAINING:
In DriUing

If a training course in automobile
driving were made a requirement
in the curriculum of every high
school traffic deaths could be re-
duced by 5000 to 10000 a year, ac-
cording to DR.. Wayne Hughes, direc-
tor of National Safety councils col
lege and school division.
A safety council survey made
among Cleveland high schools be-
tween 1889 and 1941 showed that ef-
fectual driver training reduced traf-
fic accidents by so per cent, the
council said.
ut is our firm belief that if ev-
cry high school in the nation would
put into effect such a course we
would see miracles within five
years." DR.. Hughes asserted.
Officials pointed out that statistics
for 1916 proved that mile for mile
the 1924 age group was third more
dangerous behind the wheel than
any other comparable segment of
the population. That group account
ed for 1873 per cent of the nation s
fatalities in 1916.
At present only 10 per cent of the
1000 high schools in the u. S. have
what the council regards as ade-
quate driver training courses. And
only a part Of the schools conduct
ing such courses have actual auto
mobiles in operation.

NEWS REVIEW
London Meet DissOlves;
Initiation Bill Defeated

The lethargic, uninspired ending
of the Big Four foreign ministers
conference in London was reminis-
cent of nothing so much as the
rather dreary business of tossing
out the Christmas tree after the
holidays.
There was a small amount of nos
talgia and regret expressed over the
abrupt finish of the unsuccessful dis
cussions, but there was alSD thinly
yelled feeling that perhaps after
all, it was good thing the affair
was over.
AS seen dimly through clouds of
futility and Illustration, what the
wind-up of the German and Aus
trian peace treaty talks amounted
to was this: The western powers
had failed utterly to reach any kind
of agreement with Russia on the
fate of Germany, and the failure
leaves Europe more firmly divided
than at any time since the war
ended.
Although the delegates were un-
able to agree on any single issue on
their agenda, the point upon which
the conference balloon burst was
the problem of German reparations.
To the inevitable question, What
now?" diplomatic authorities were
answering with a prediction that the
United States, Great Britain and
France would begin negotiations
soon among themselves concerning
the unification of western Germany.
Russia would be out of it, and there
was no prospect of another four
power meeting in 1948 or in any
other year.

priced much higher. The goods
were being bought in the garment
trade centers at wholesale prices
nearly equal to last springs retail
prices.
Another factor boosting the infia-
ton bubble is expected to be the
peak in foreign demand for food and
other items in Europe scheduled to
come as winter bows out.
The construction industry. which
hit an all-time high in dollar values
as the 1947 season ended, probably
will begin the 1948 season under an
extraordinarily high demand pres
sure for building materials.
Another considerable influence is
CIO President Philip Murray's re-
cent declaration that unions in his
organization will seek another

round of wage increases, thus help
ing to form another price bulge.
Pressure for higher wages is ex-
pected to build up during the late
winter months.
In Washington political leaders Of
both Democratic and Republican
persuasion are giving all these signs
serious and concentrated study, and
both sides are convinced that some
thing must be done.
It is not considered likely that
these indications of further imitation
will add up to a nationwide bust
next summer. Their biggest signi-
ficance is that they make up pack
age of political dynamite which
probably will exraOCle with an earth
shaking impact sometime around
the preSEde1tal election in Novem-
Der.

Thrift Plan

= Meanwhile, although congress
had given it's approval to the propo-
sition that interim relief should be
rushed to Europe and China, the
emergency aid issue continued to
send forth echoes.
This time the struggle arose over
the actual bill to appropriate the
597 million dollars previously ap-
proved by congress. The house ap-
preparations committee, showing
the same cutting ways it had ex-
hibited earlier in the year toward
budget requests, knocked 88 million
dollars off the original figure in pre-
pairing the bill for floor action.
Thus, the bill carried only 500 mil
lion for winter relief. The appro-
priations committee, headed by
Rep. John Taber (Rep., N. ", said
the cut was represented by items
which would have been used by
France and Italy for payment Of
interest on their foreign debts and
for making payments on CONNER
cial accounts.
Aroused at the Republican dis
play of economy, Democrats la
belled the committees action as an
undercover" attempt to hamstring
the aid program. They served no.
tice that they would attempt to re-
store the cut.

UNIT program centers on Sc
lective schedule of instructive
military training.
Since last January, civilian ad-
visory committee Of "a men and
women has served continuously, Wis
iting the unit individually and in
groups. They have observed the
trainees at work, at play. on leave
in and around Louisville.
This committee, by the way,
represents a fair crOss-section
of the parents, educators, religi-
GUS leaders, newspapermen and
public officials whose interest,
either personal, professional or
patriotic, makes universal
training important to them.
This committee says that as re-
suit of this year of training the boys
have benefited by definite spiritual
and moral training, sef-expression
through individual hobbies, training
for leadership, and respect for au-
thority and the rights of others, as
well as gaining military skills
which are taught under discipline,
not augmentation"
AS one man from Louisville
put it to me: ''It's an entirely
different thing from ordinary
G.I. experiences. The boys
themselves are the best wit
neSseS."
According to the Goth Century
fund. cotton supplies more than
three-fourths of all fiber consumption
in the United States. Now l know
what they put into my breakfast
food.
The housing problem seems high
ly explosive. Frank Creedon, who
recently resigned as housing ex-
pediter to join an atomic energy
project, probably finds splitting
atoms safer.

ing makes me weak any week.

During initial training, the trainee
would be entitled to benefits of the
soldiers and sailors civil relief act
of 1910 and to the death and dis
ability benefits furnished civilian
employees Of the government.
AS to the educational factor, the
report of the subcommittee on edu-
cation, division of the UNIT civil
ian advisory committee which Wis
its. the Fort Knox experimental unit
that UNIT should be so flexible that
a man could return to school or to
his civilian occupation without a
loss of considerable time; and there
fore, it is more advantageous to
maintain the six-month period of
initial training with a minimum of
education than to prolong this Pc
riod of training and permit inclu
sion of a comprehensive educational
program"
To ensure that the trainee does
not lose sight of his life Objec-
tive, a well-planned cOunseIling
program is recommended. 1t
would be conducted by an edu-
catiOnal staff including a trained
psychologist.
The six-month training period
where the accent is on the military
is by no means ALL military. Bay
onet practice and dirty fighting"
have been eliminated, and out of the
entire six months only $50 hours are
devoted to actual training, the rest

the experimental unit at Fort Knox,
says the Army Information Digest:
1T is not uncommon for the officer
Of the day, while inspecting a rifle
at daily guard mount to ask the
trainee: Who is the secretary of
warp or Who heads our diplomatic
mission to Moscow"
The relationship between
trainer and trainee, according
to the Digest, is not that of SER
geant and recruit, but rather of
instructor and pupil.
Nearly so per cent of the men at
Fort Knox participate in the off
duty educational program, and some
have completed graduation from
high school by this route.
According to the Digest report
made in June, ''the barracks smeu'
of profanity and obscenity does
not exist. Without in any way sac
rificing virility, the Digest claims
that "a new way of looking at things
has been created" Sex has it's place
in instruction. The trainee gets a
healthy understanding of the nor
NAL place of sex in raising fam
lily, is taught that the only sure way
to avoid venereal disease is contin-
ence.

provided at Fort Knox, includ-
