nesota's Carl Eller and Nebras-

named to the 1868 Look Maga-

The 22-man All America
squad, picked by the Football
Writers Association, was an
nounced today in Look Maga-
zine.
Lewis, "the nations most tai
ented all-around halfback, was
154-pound, 5-feet-9 hydrogen
bomb," declared Look. "From
scrimmage, with a pass, or re-
turning a kick, Sherman was a
constant game-breaker, and just
as tough when the Spartans
needed short yardage on vital
third DOWNS"
Vaughn, a fullback, is lone
of those performers old-timers
will appreciate because he can
go 30 minutes" the magazine
said. Although a marked man
opponents hke to key both
linebackers ON him - Vaughn
rushes with the nations best and
combines such speed with his
power that he could play half
back as we'll as fullback."
Eller, who almost made it in
1862, came on strong in the lat
ter half of the 1863 season to
nail down an All America berth,
Look noted.
Brown, called the nations
leading guard, was runner-up to
Texas tackle Scott Appleton in

NATO and the Test-Bun Treaty

of miscellaneous Benelux,
Danish and Norwegian divi-
sions. The Italian, Greek and
Turkish armies which are
counted among the NATO
forces have specially as
signed roles. They will join
the battle only If the Medi-
terranean sector becomes in
Volved.
Against this force between
the Elbe and the Rhine the
Russians have in East Ger
many alone 20 divisions with
1000 tanks. The other satel-
lites have a minimum of so
divisions. And behind them
at close quarters from the
Russian border to the Ural
mountains there are lat bat
tle-ready divisions.
How long, ask the French,
could the NATO armies re-
sist that formidable conven-
tional force of the potential
enemy even If We assume
that the air forces of the
two antagonists are about
equal in quantity and quail
ity? Granted that the West
ern forces are splendidly
trained and equipped, how
long could they resist such
an avalanche?
The day has arrived when
the Russian general staff
knows positively that Amer

the NATO has become a thin

Yet, informed Frenchmen
add, it is hard to see how

A Radiant English Voice, He Worried
Over the Destiny of the Language

'30s. He points out that IS
of the 80 poems which Spen-
der published in 1888 were
not social or political at all.
At least half Of Auden's
Look Stranger" Of 1885 is
remote from politics. The
sequence Of 20 poems In Day
Lewis From Feathers to
Iron" is a tale Of love, with
its central theme the birth of
a child. Even while these
poets were the heroes Of the
young rebels in England, and
before Auden made his home
in America, they never al
lowed their mastery Of new
forms of expression to be-
tray them into a contempt
for the high lineage Of Eng
fish speech. 1t Is no perverse
fancy to see in them a touch
Of Shelley crossed with Pope.
Yet one must remember
the worship Of mediocrity
which disgraced England be-
fore the war to appreciate
the liberating power Of their
laughter, and the scourge Of
their savage satire. This was
the age Of which Archibald
MacLeish could say that
"FasciSm is capitalism's re-
venge upon itself: An ole and
dying king eaten by the chill
dren his own crimes con-
ceived." What was clear to
the poets was obscure to the
politicians. These little men
in great places we're eager
to parley with evil, and for
a temporary and fugitive
safety they were ready to
place England's proud name
on a sacrament Of folly.
Against this stupid drift to
disaster the voice Of Louis
Mac Neice, like that Of the
other young poets, rang out
in hooking or indignant
complaint. They lacked the
anthem notes of Milton or
Wordsworth but they were
the best England had, and
they spoke to the world for
England when the timid
bluncers of Chamberlain
shut out the soaring inspira-
ton of Churchill. To minis
ter to a nations bruised
spirit, when the leaders are
false to their trust, is no
small achievement. Their
part in these campaigns for
freedom and compassion will
be remembered with honor,
and will form a gallant
chapter in the history Of
poetry. 1t will not be OBJ
scured even by the daring
verbal felicities of their later
experiments and interrupted
triumphs.
Like every honorable poet,
Mac Neice worried about the
destiny Of the English Ian
guage In a world given over
to mean ambitions and

While this occurs, the Ken
nedys and their allies in
State, AID and other minor
tribes, dance around the base
of the hill. And as each cut
is made, they moan or scream
aloud in simulated agony.
This continues until all the
natives are exhausted and
the victim near expiration.
But, unlike among the Hot
tentots, the victim is never
killed. Instead, its limp form
is carried to the other end
of the compound where the
Senators, who are apparent
ly chosen for their advanced
age, quietly restore it until it
is almost as good as new.
They then give 1t back In

The decision will not affect
