Pilot International S
President Opposes
u. ). Market Control

The problem of keeping Gov
ernment controls out of the
market basket last night was
placed before more than 1000
business and professional women.
1t was the last thought pre-
sented to delegates ending the
18th annual Pilot International
conventional at the Hotel Statler.
New president and banquet
speaker, Mrs. Mamie Kennedy
Taylor. of Atlanta. Ga, stated:
Whether or not it may become
necessary to place Government
controls on our productivity rests
on the decision of the women of
this country, who do most of the
spending and buying
If only they will realize that
fear and wild spending can dis
rupt the very foundations of our
American way of life, if only they
will stop the panic of buying and
boarding that now is sweeping
the country, Government controls
will not be necessary"
Mrs. Taylor declared that pro-
ductivity-the strength of Amer
ica-must be kept free of Govern
ment controls. She added the
Soviet bases it's whole foreign
policy on the hope and assump-
ton that America will panic.
American women assume lead
ership in molding public opinion, "
the speaker stressed.
The new head of the organiza-
ton, set up on the lines of such
mems groups as Kiwanis and
Rotary, also urged the clubwomen
to:
Help organize civilian defense
on the community level.
Unite with other Women's Or

Williams Back With Bang May Be Vital Factor Pennant Race
Confident Redskins
May Hold Key 10
Colts Grid Future

What appeared to be one Of the
most profitable rivalries in the
National Football League, the
Redskins and Baltimore Colts.
may backfire tomorrow If the
Redskins follow their exhibition
form and wallop the hosts in Mu.
nicipal Stadium in Baltimore.
The Colts won only one ALL
America Conference game last
year and this year lost seven
straight exhibitions. The fans
are tired of a loser and pre-sea-
son attendance figures show it.
If the Redskins should win by
four or five touchdowns in the
league opener, the report in Bal
timore is that pro football would
be virtually dead there, instead
of hitting a new high in interest
because of rivalry with the Red
skins.
There was a confident but not
boastful theme to the annual
Touchdown Club luncheon in
honor of the Redskins yesterday
at the Statler. Coach Herman
Ball, Sammy Baugh, Bill Dudley
and others were extremely pleased
with one of the best exhibition
seasons in the history Of the team.
Today the Redskins were to
run through a light workout at
American University. while the
Colts broke camp at Westminster
and returned to Baltimore for
final practice session. The Red.
skins were in good physical con-
dition and Ball said he liked their
mental attitude.
The Colts reached the 32-player
limit yesterday by releasing
George Buksar, picked up earlier
from the Chicago Hornets.
Baltimore officials expect .
crowd of $4,000 for the 2 o'clock
ball game and report 1900 tickets
already sold.
Every team but the Chicago
Cardinals plays this week end.
Following tonight's opener be-
tween the Cleveland Browns and
Philadelphia Eagles, tomorrow's
schedule, in addition to the Colts
and Redskins, is Chicago Bears at
Los Angeles, Detroit at Green Bay.
New York Giants at Pittsburgh
and New York Yanks at San

shadowy title these teams will be
striving for, but 1t will be real

Eagles officials estimate that
upward of $4,000 fans will see the
game at Municipal Stadium start

passed the 10000 mark yesterday
and 10000 will go on sale at 6
pm. at the stadium, which ac-
commodities 5000. Good wealth
er is forecast.
Teams Rated Tossup.
Early wagering on the game
indicated the uncertainty of the
outcome. First the Eagles were
favored by a touchdown, then the
Browns became a one-point favor
ite after it seemed likely that
Steve Van Buren. the Eagles great
running back, would not play.
Word that Van Buren had worked
out with the squad and might get
in the game caused odds-makers
to make it to and take your
choice.
Van Buren, underwent an oper-
alton on an injured toe about a
month ago and didn't put on cleats
again until Thursday. He SEEM
ingly ran without any i'll effects.
AL Wistert, Philadelphia's best
tackle, is not expected to play
because of injuries. Halfback
Bosh Pritchard also is ailing, but
the Eagles otherwise are "up" for
the game.
Coach Paul Brown of the Cleve-
land team was on edge as much
as any player last night. The quiet,
methodical coach, who also serves
as general manager of the club,
wants to win this one badly.
5000 Coming From Cleveland.
Approximately 5000 Cleveland
fans are expected here today,
and. a half dozen special trains
from points nearer Philadelphia

Tuffy Leemans. one-time New
York Giants backfield star, is

Manor Club in Washington, while
Bud Worsham and Charley Given

Walt Stickel, tackle obtained
from the Chicago Bears by the
Redskins and later traded to the
Eagles for a draft choice, will be
ready to play but won't be in the

over) Scott. who played at
