With the Alumni PreVue game
Just eight day away, the London
High School grid group is vast
ing no time in preparatory ac-
tivities. For the past ten days the
football squad has been working
out twice-a-day at the local ath-
letic field.
This week practice sessions
have been arranged with Wilm-
ington and Mt. Sterling High. The
sessions should give Head Coach
James NJ. Bowlus a line on just
what to expect from his boys in
81. The two interschool scrim-
images will also provide the coach
ing staff with the opportunity to
see what each man on the squad
can do under fire.
Backs Shaping Up
With the fine break in the
weather the coaches have been
able to size up the new candl-
dates for the team. With nine
Iettermen ball-toters returning the
Red Raiders should be in good
shape as far as backs are con-
cerned. Both the offensive and
defensive units are again availa-
bic for service. Operating from
the T are veterans Bob LeBeau
at quarter, Dwight Simpson at
full, John Duffey and Dave Viii
son at halfs. Today lettermen
Jim Starbuck, Sonny Wheeler
Gil jackson, and Bill Minner
seem to have the inside track
for positions on the defensive
backfield unit.

Across The Desk
BY THE DESKMAN

! Mr.. Harold Stassen, who just
returned from a five-week tour of
Europe, says "the prospects OF
peace are brighter than at any
time in the last three years. ere
calling that Mr.. Stassen picked
Tom Dewey to defeat President
Truman in the 1949 elections, The
Deskman suggests that the nation
go right ahead with it's plans for
building a defensive war machine.
Columbus is going through the
throes Of a relief scandal such as
every large city is bound to ex-
perience at least every two years.
City fathers Of the capitol city
have learned that no-self respect
ing relief client would be caught
without a television set or auto
mobile. This is easily explained:
Relief clients have more money
than wage-earners have when the
various governments get through
with their pay checks.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN says
the nation must be taxed until it
hurts" and Mr.. Truman has prob
ably been SO busy he didn't hear

Full Civil Rights
Now, Is Plea Of
Soldiers at Front

A group soldiers fighting with
the 74th Construction Engineers
Battalion in Korea, many from the
Dayton area, dispatched a note to
the editors of The Dayton Daily
Express. They wrote:
"Since we are fighting in Korea
for Freedom, why don't the Am
erican people fight for Freedom
at home?
Soldiers in Korea, Negro and
white, are giving their lives +.
why can't we all enjoy Freedom,
Justice and Security at home?
Why can't we have our full civil
rights now?
eve are small in number but
there are Is million people be-
hind us and they want to
know the answers to these ques-
tons just like u.s."
The letter was delivered to The
Daily Express by William Oglesby,
a friend of one of the men sign
ing the open letter to the Ameri-
can public.
, 1951-01-10

Of the commission will depend up
on the kind of answer we get to
the question.
Like many others with no direct
wire to the Presidents inner sane
tum, this chronicler must resort
to second-guessing, and it is his
guess that the President failed to
mention civil rights because he has
learned long ago that the less said
about civil rights the better the
chances of getting something done
about his program for making De-
mocracy work.
The writer refuses to go along
with those who say MI. Truman
is beginning to compromise with
Southern Democrats and Northern
Republicans, for the record shows
that Mr.. Truman compromises
with no one, friend or foe. Per-
haps the nation would be better
off if he did, but the hard fact
remains that he doesn't.
One sure conclusion can be
drawn from the omission of
Civil Rights in the Presidential
message. and that is that it did
not catch the anti-civil rights
forces completely off guard. The
critics who have been most ada
mant in their demands that he
scuttle the civil rights program
now are pointing out that the
President has deserted his own
program and, in effect, turned his
back on the Negroes who gave him
strong support in 1913.
