demonstrated willingness to work
to earn more dollars, he said, the
United States would try its best
to give technical help.
Some Bonds Down to 70 Pct.
British investors for some time
have ben shedding government
bonds with frantic haste.
Some kinds can be bought in
tine London bond market for less
than 10 per cent of what the gov
eminent promises to pay when
they come due.
The faith of the British people
In their once proud pound sterling
is sorely shaken.
During the first II weeks OF
the governments fiscal year be-
ginning April /, they withdrew
f22, 2,250,000 (equal to $50 900, ,000
more from their national savings
accounts then they put in.
Some sections of the British
press are close to shouting panic"
Newspaper financial commentators
are waving red warning flags all
over Fleet street. They say if this
keeps up the government will have
no more credit at home or abroad.
Investors Shift Funds.
While the Treasury stays mum,
vast sums are being taken out OF
government bonds and put into
things like real estate and gold
mine stock.
During one three-week period
in July and August the total value
of British government bonds
shrank $4,000, ,000, 900 on the Lon
don exchange.
What started this? Here are
obvious reasons:
/. What the British call the
dollar crisis. The labor govern
ment has been unable so far to
give assurances that Britain can
go on much longer earning, bor-
rowing or obtaining American
gifts of dollars it must have to
buy food and raw materials.
If the government fails, Britain
faces privation, unemployment
and a Gripping drop in national
income. All this would make II
harder to pay off government
bonds when due.
2. Constant talk that the ofacia
rate of around $4.O4 for the pouns
must and will be cut-despitt
government denials. To the peo'
pie. bonds represent pounds. I
pounds are worth less then bond
are worth less, they reason.

CoId-Cash War Flares
As Yanks ofA-ATake
Rivals Football Trio
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-two
more National Football League
players switched to the All-Amer-
lea Conference yesterday in silence
so deep you could hear a dollar
bill drop in the cold-cash war.
The New York Yankees of the
All-America simply announced
they had signed Bob Dobelstein
of the New York Giants and Reid
Moseley of the Chicago Bears. The
announcement also disclosed the
signing of John Mastrangelo Of
the Pittsburgh Stelers, who pre-
viously had said he would jump to
the A-A Conference.
Dobelstein and Mastrangelo,
both guards, are established
players and competed for the
National League clubs last year.
Moseley, a Georgia end and back,
was with the Bears briefly in 1947,
but was not in football last year.
National League officials, who
once told the A-A bosses to go
get a football" said only that the
players had not jumped contracts.
A-A officers were scattered and
could not be reached. (
The New York. football Giants.
bitter box-office enemies OF the
Yankees, said "Dobelstein did not
fit into our plans for 1949. He
goes with our blessing"
Earlier the Pittsburgh Steelers,
admittedly cutting down on their
expenses, had given Mastrangelo
permission to 60 elsewhere. Be-
cause of his idleness last year
Moseley was a free agent.
BY National League rules a
player must be offered a dupli-
cate of his previous contract by
May /. If he hasn't been he be-
comes a free agent. Both Dobel-
stein, a Tennessee graduate, and
Mastrangelo, former Notre Dame
star, obtained their NFL releases
in this manner. John Clement.
ace Steeler halfback, has switched
to Ne Chicago Hornets in similar
fashion.
The two pro circuits have been
throwing each other for huge
financial losses for the last three
years, and failed in an attempt
to merge last winter.

Micko- -CompagnoDe Tribe,
SteeIers Could Pay Dividends
BY Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Sioff Correspondent >

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18.-Tony
Compagno, 200-pound, 28-year-
old fullback, comes to Washing
ton from Pittsburgh in exchange
for Fullback Mike Micka in deal
that may pay off handsomely for
both football teams. The deal
was announced yesterday:
Mike didn't want to leave the
Tribe. and nobody worked harder
to earn a job with the Redskins.
In stepping into Mixes shoes,
Compagno is shouldering the
same burden Of uncertainty. Tony
will be used strictly as defensive
back, but with three or four Red
skins playing offense and defense
equally we'll he'll have to prove
his value to stay with the team.
Micka is certain to see more ac-
ton with the Steelers than he
would have in Washington. and
Johnny Nicholson can be pretty
sure he's getting a back as good
as he gave. Redskin officials did
not disclose terms offered Com
pagno, but he accepted by tele.
phone yesterday and is due here
today.
Herman Ball, chief Redskin
scout, said he never had seen
Compagno play a bad game in
the three years he has watched
him. Last year Tony intercepted
two passes for touchdowns against
the Redskins. and the year before
snatched another aerial for a
score. He intercepted seven enemy
passes in 1948.
Compagno, who first reported to
the Steelers four years ago, was
an all-around athlete at st. Mary's.
He stands 5 feet IL and makes
his home in San Francisco. He
came here last week seeking a
berth, telling Redskin officials he
had his release from Pittsburgh.
Actually he only had the Steelers'
permission to seek a new connec-
ton.
Micka, former Colgate ace. has
divided his five years of pro foot
ball between the Redskins and
Boston, now the New York Bull
dogs. The Redskins made him
their No. / draft choice in 1914.
Hallway through the 1945 season
he was traded to Boston. Last
year he served as a playing coach,
helping with the backfield under
Coach Maurice Smith. Washing
ton picked him up as a free agent
this summer.
Another RedSkin fullback de-
velopment is the transfer of Brian
Bell to that position. replacing
