Thick Fog Blankets
Europe: Holts Truffic
In Brituin

An unusually thick fog has
blanketed most of Western
Europe over the past 4 days,
and has resulted in disrupting
traffic in several areas, includ-
ing the Berlin air lift.
In Britain, the fog was the
direct cause of several train
crashes bringing death to at
least four persons and again
delaying the departure of at
least three Of Britain's largest
ocean liners-the Queen Eli
zabeth, Queen Mary and the
Aquitania.
Later reports say the fog
has lifted sufficient to permit
the sailing of the vessels. The
Queen Elizabeth left for Cher
bourg there she will pick up
about 600 passengers in addi-
ton to the 1000 odd aboard,
for New York. The Queen
Mary will pause a few days
to permit the sister ship to
clear the port in New York.

The loss of Matias (Chow)
Echaves, who was seriously injured
in an automobile accident a few
days ago, has dimmed Anacostia's
football outlook this season, but the
Indians still stack up as the team
to beat for the public high cham
pionship.
"You know there wasn't a back in
the city that could touch Echaves,

as he was sending his squad through
its first practice drill of the season
He was down at Fairlawn almost
every day all summer passing and
punting and running like a jack
rabbit. He was up near 100 pounds
too.

but now I don't know. I haven't

In spite of Stewards pessimism
which is understandable considering

team in the CITY, Anacostia's back
field won't be entirely green.
