NEW ANGLE ON SCORING
 IN FOOTBALL

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-lR-Col- lege football is on a point-a-min- ute binge, but leading coaches dis agreed today on what is respon- sible for the astronomical scoring trend.
 Its the platoon system" chorus ed one group of mentors, including Ivy Williamson of Wisconsin, Matty Bell of SMU, Jess Nicely of Rice and J. V. Sikes of Kansas.
 "The platoon system has nothing to do with it. argued others, such as Earl Blaik of Army, Henry Frnka of Tulane and Biggie Mum of Michigan State.
 Most of them agreed in an As sociated Press survey that the sport has become definitely "oftense minded" that coaches make no special effort to roll up impressive tallies and that the liberal suhsti- tuition rule plays a big part in keep ing the scoreboard busy.
 They traced the assembly line point-making also to "eager beaver" substitutes who, thrown into a game to open the gates of mercy, close the gates instead with a hun gry effort to make good.
 Were getting ten or twelve more plays game now" said Sikes, whose Kansas team was mauled by Okla homa Saturday 48-26.

NEWS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND FARM FAM.

will tend to reduce crop production
in 1850. However, abundant feed
supplies at slightly lower prices
are encouraging increased livestock
production. Gross agricultural out
put next year will be close to that
of 1e48 and 194e.
Industrial activity and employ
ment is expected to continue strong
through 1850 although much of the
backlog of orders for durable
goods accumulated during the war
period has been filed.
Foreign markets, while desper-
ately wanting and needing the out
put Of our farms and factories, are
greatly restricted in their pur-
chases by the dollar shortage =
In 1s4S the United States exported
about seventeen billion dollars
worth Of goods while importing
only ten billion. This seven billion
dollar gap" poses an acute finan-
cial problem for importing coun-
tries which would normally take a
sizeable part of the United States
agricultural production. Last year
this dollar gap was filled by six
billion dollar grant of public funds
to war-torn countries supplied by
the American taxpayer and handled
through the ERP. We can expect
a sharp cut back in the ERP pro-
gram in 1850 with further cuts ir
later years.
Our domestic demand is continu.
ally being strengthened by oui
growing population which for the
past several years has been in
creasing at the rate of about one
percent annually.

Agricultural Outlook
Good for Coming Year


Demand for the farm products
of the United States viii probably
continue on a high level through
1850, reports w. T. McAllister, ex-
tension agricultural economist of
the University of Delaware, who
recently attended the annual Out
look Conference in Washington, d.
c. Further outlook information
compiled by McAllister shows that
maintenance of the present high
level Of production will result in a
reduction OF prices received for
farm products, encourage market
ing quotas and acreage allotments,
and some reduction on farmers net
income. Prices farmers pay for
goods and services used in living
and production, while on the down
ward trend. probably won't decline
as much as farm prices.
Average Of the prices for al
farm products may fall below the
parity level for the first time since
1941. Net income of farmers may
be cut to the level of 1945, but ever
so, the net income for 1850 would
be more than double the prewai
average level and equal to the av'
erage of the war years.
Agricultural production is at
record level for the second consecu'
tive year and about 1873 percent Of
the prewar average. The high leve
of production in the last two year.
was due in part to the excellent
weather conditions and abnormally
high yields. Lower prices, increased
acreage allotments and lower yield.

-Four Rail Unions
Reject Missouri
Pacific Offer

st. Louis (LPA) = Settlement
prospects in the strike of -four
Railroad Brotherhoods on the Mis-
souri, Pacific dimmed on Thursday
when the management came up
with the same kind of "peace plan"
that the unions had previously re-
fused to swallow.
Under the company plan, 81 of
the least important of the 282 ac-
cumulated grievances which preci-
pitated the walkout would be clean
ed up, and the rest would be re-
ferred to arbitration machinery or
to further negotiations. Meanwhile,
the Brotherhoods would have to
call off the strike.
The same scheme was offered by
management during mediation con-
ferences in Washington and turned
down as just a camouflage for a
real settlement. 1t was put forward
again by the company as a "new
proposition" to capture the head
lines, and again the unions reject
ed it.
Explaining their stand, the four
Brotherhoods declared that "in the
light of past experience with the
Missouri Pacific, it is obvious that
if settlement of the more import
ant issues cannot be reached under
the pressure of a strike, certainly
nothing would be accomplished If
that pressure were removed"
Furthermore, the Brotherhoods
pointed out that negotiations had
been going on for five to six years,
without success, and that if the
strike were cancelled, there would
be more stalling by the company.
Their stand was: "Agree to a COM
plete settlement now, or we con-
tinue to stay out"

LIVES OF TWINS SAVED
BY UNIV WELFARE FUND

Birmingham, Ala. (LPA) - Up
in Washington the commentators
speculate on the fne-spun legalis-
tics involved in the refusal of the
southern coal operators to continue
their payments into the miners
welfare fund. The operators say
they don't have to continue pay
ments, since the contract has ex-
pired.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers has blasted
one of the operators for default
ing on the payments.
But to Claude S. Cox, SO, of
Boothton, Ala, and his wife, 81, the
issue is simpler. If it hadn't been
for the welfare fund, their twins,
boy and girl. would not be alive.
The babies were saved because
the welfare fund provided the nee
essary X-rays, prenatal treatment,
hospital delivery, and postnatal
care. "There can be no doubt what
ever" said DR.. T. NJ. Boulware,
the obstetrieian, "that had this pa
tient not been in the hospital the
first twin, the boy, would have been
lost for sure, and we probably
would have lost the second twin. +"
Cox can speak with bitter feel
ing. His first wife died in child
birth in 1889. "She might have
lived if l had been able to put her
in hospital" he said, "but the
delivery was at home" In 1889
there was no welfare fund, and a
miner could not afford hospital de-
livery.
This time the story was differ
ent. Mrs. Cox had adequate medi-
cal care and was hospitalized a
week ahead of time so that a toxic
condition she had could be treated.
"If it hadn't been for the welfare
fund.-" Cox commented, "we could
MT have afforded those II days in
the hospital and the two doctors
my wife had to have"
Cox has been coal miner since
1882. He is now an electrician in
side the mine, working for the
Boothton Coal Co., 40 miles south
west of Birmingham. In addition
to the twins he has two girls, as
we'll as the boy who was born at
the time his first wife died.
DR.. Allen n. Koplin, UMWA
welfare fund area medical admin
istrator, said that the birth of the
Cox twins should be great les

Union And Steel
Meet With Ching

Washington (LPA)-Offcials of
the United Steelworkers and heads
of the steel industry met all day
Monday with US Mediation Chief
Cyrus S. Ching at his invitation,
issued in an effort to stave off a
strike set for next Monday.
Philip Murray, president of the
Steelworkers' union in a statement
to the mediation meeting, repeated
his offer that 'the union is here
ready and willing to negotiate a
prompt settlement of the pending
labor dispute on the basis of the
recommendations of the steel in
dustry board, appointed by the Pre-
sident of the United States" He
added:
at must be obvious to all that
the only way prompt settlement
can be concluded and strike
averted is on the basis of the
boards recommendations"
Referring to the exchange of
kilograms with the heads of the
industry, Murray said: at is sig
nificant that in their kilograms to
me virtually all of the companies
made no reference to the Boards
report and recommendations. This
is a crafty maneuver which will
deceive no one. The boards report
is here. 1t is before us all. 1t can
not be ignored. 1t cannot be disre-
garded. The union does not propose
to permit the companies to ignore
it."
US Steel ran seven-column ads
in the newspapers of Sunday de-
claring "a Steel Strike Is Not JUS
titled" and asserting that "if a
strike occurs, the union must as
sumo the responsibility"
Murray issued a statement that
also appeared in the Sunday
papers, exposing the hypocrisy of
the industry's stand that pensions
paid for entirely by the employer,
as recommended by the Presidents
fact-inding board, means "Loss of
freedom for the worker" Murray's
statement, citing chapter a n d
verse, showed that the steel COM
panies had no hesitation in foot
ing the entire bill for pensions
for company executives.
