Mansfield (15-3) and Ashland
(15-1), two other strong North
western Ohio teams, will compete
at the event in Mansfield.
Port Clinton has won 13 of its
16 games. Against Class A teams,
the Redskins have won five games
while losing three. They have
defeated Bellevue twice, Tiffin

Sandusky, 48 to 20, on their worst
"off" night and also lost two

one-point decision to Toledo

DEFEAT OAK HARBOR
Port Clinton's Redskins will
play their final game of the 1949-
so basketball season this Friday
night at Willard, and indications
are that it will be "big" game
for both teams.
AS the Willard Crimson Flash
es are coached by the former
Lakeside mentor, "Jonesy" Ihnat,
that team is prepped to hang a
smarting defeat on Port Clinton
this evening. Ihnat would feel
his season record complete loss
should his Crimson Flashes lose
to the Redskins.
Willard is paced by the giant
center, Jim Nowakowski, who us
ually scores in the double figure
column. The Redskins had little
trouble with Nowakowski when
they met Willard in the Sandusky
tournament last year. Big Jim
was held to 10 points and left the
game in the third period when the
fifth foul was called against him.
Port Clinton defeated Willard 62
to 35 in that tournament opener.
Only a few days before, in the
regular season finals, the Redskins
had defeated Willard 61 to 55
but in that encounter, the 6 it.,
Z inch Nowakowski netted 33
points.
If Port Clinton's stars can sue
cessfully hold Nowakowski, the
Redskins should win with ease
as the other Willard cagers are
not known for their high scoring
abilities.

and disillusion, so that it be-
longs more properly in the
grim category of a current play,
THE Death of a Salesman" For
politics is salesmanship and the
ability to talk; and old Joe Han
ley. give him a platform and a
crowd, can certainly talk. He's
spent his life at it.
Joseph r. Hanley, as you know,
is Lieutenant Governor of New
York, has been for seven long
years, and before that he'd been
in State politics here a long time,
beginning back in 1932-member
of the Assembly, then the State
Senate, then Senate majority
leader, after that its president
pro tenn, and finally Lieutenant
Governor by special election in
1943 when the occupant of that
Office died. But being Lieutenant
Governor all that time is some
what like being always a brides
maid, never a bride.
Wanted Top Place.
Joe wanted to be Governor, to
sit in the top place. Also he
wanted some security, some old
age security. for there's not much
money on a state political salary
at the lower levels, especially
when debts hang continually over
you, as they did over Joe, one Of
them quite considerable which he
assumed conscientiously when a
bank in which his father owned
stock failed, and there was double
liability. The New York governor
ship pays $25,000 a year. with a
mansion and perquisities. an auto
mobile and such. At "a, which Joe
| is, that would be pretty good old
age security and take care Of
debts. And Governor of New
York-that's something!
Well, Joe's chance finally came
this year. Tom Dewey, who.
though still in his vigorous middle
years, has been Governor for two
terms and twice his party's nomi-
nee for President, announced he
was retiring. He patted old Joe
on the back and told him to go
to it. That was back in June. So
Joe announced his own candidacy,
borrowed some money for the
campaign, and began to travel
around making speeches.
Dream Smashed.
He was happy. It was a dream
come true. It just couldn't last.
It didn't. It all smashed up early
in September, when Tom Dewey
and other State Republican lead
ers took the old man into hotel
room and told him he should get
out Of the race and make way for
Gov. Dewey again. The national
emergency required Gov. Dewey.
The old man baked, as did the old
salesman in the play when the
young boss fired him but, unlike
the salesman, old Joe got some
thing out of it, promises for flnan-
cial security, according to the
letter he sat down and wrote
afterward-now the biggest issue
in this campaign and hotly dis
puted as to it's meaning-and
also the nomination for United
States Senator, a consolation prize

ground force anywhere near as
large as that of the U. S. S. r.
For purely defensive purposes
it is estimated that some SO di-
visions, backed by air and naval
forces, will be sufficient to meet
any threat to Western Europe,
Unfortunately. none of the conti-
mental members of the Atlantic
pact are anxious to draft enough
manpower to create such an army
Technical and political difficulties
are cited as the reason.
Must Increase Own Forces.
We must be satisfied If an army
of Is divisions is organized in the
next two years. This means that
we must increase our own ground
troops sufficiently to be able to
rush across the Atlantic the addi-
tional troops which will be needed
in the event of a Soviet attack.
Because we have undertaken
once more the job of becoming
the arsenal of democracy and be-
cause of our responsibilities in
other parts of the world, our Gov
ernment has suggested the arm
ing of about 10 Western German
divisions.
From the very beginning we
met stubborn resistance from the
administration in Paris. Not that
Foreign Minister Schuman and
the French military experts did
not realize the assistance such an
army could give us. But for do
mestic political reasons the French
government opposed this plan
which had been Endorsed by the
British government and its I'm
perial General Staff.

the prospective German force was
to be supplied with equipment
from the United States, which we
could shut off if the situation got
out of hand, made no impression
on the French politicians.
These two important factors
were never presented to the
French public. which continues
to fear a devastated and divided
Germany more than it fears Rus
sia. Nor did the French hear the
argument that the United States
in spite of its vast resources, could
not remain indefinitely the world S
chief provider of both wealth and
manpower.
Strongest Foe of Plan.
But while Mr.. Schuman might
have been amenable to reason,
Mr.. Moch Is the strongest and
most vociferous opponent of arm
ing a German force to defend the
present no-man's-land between the
Elbe and the Rhine, which is held
only by a handful Of American,
British and French troops.
AS sop to the American public
Premier Rene Pleven offered a
plan for the future incorporation
of German forces into European
army. Mr.. Pleven's ideas are con-
sidered utopian by realistic OBJ
servers in Washington. They
provide for the formation of small
German units within a European
army which would be responsible
to a European defense minister,
who in turn would be responsible
to a European Parliament.
In other words, we must wait
for the organization Of a United
States of Europe before permitting
the West Germans to defend
themselves-with British, Ameri-
can and French support-against
a possible attack from the East.
Everybody hopes sincerely that
as a result Of the present world
crisis a confederation of European
nations will emerge. But it would
be pushing optimism much farther
than diplomatic and military plan
ners are willing to go to believe
that such an event can happen in
any short time.
The Atlantic Pact governments
and their military advisers believe
that a showdown with the Rus
slams may come in the next year
or two. Otherwise, there would
be no reason for the present hasty
and costly military preparations
which may run our national bud

The result is a unique national

wholly subordinated. In it's inter-

Then the letter came out, and
old Joe and young Tom are both
