American Football League Com missioner Joe FosS does not agree with a statement that his circuit would lose prestige in a champion ship game against the National Football League.
 Pete Retzlaff, an end of the Philadelphia Eagles, and president of the National Football League Players Association, says his cir cult would welcome a playoff game against the younger league. But Retzlaff says the AFL would be set back several years if it lost to the older league.
 The big showdown game in the Western Division of the National Football League will take place on Sunday in Chicago when the Bears and Green Bay Packers meet head on. They are now tied for the lead in their division. Each has one loss. The one defeat sui fered by the Packers came in their opener when the Bears handed them a 10 to 3 defeat.
 Several members of the Green Bay club say the opening-game loss was good for the team because the club did not then carry a winning streak into action for the rest of the season. However, they have won eight in row. And the early line shows them as three and one half point favorites over the Bears.

Districts Only CUNTS
Survived for 8 Hours

The only known set Of quin-
tuplets ever born in the District
lived just q few hours, according
to available and incomplete rec
ords.
That was on March 81 and
%, l945, when Mrs. Ada H.
Turner. then SO, gave birth to
five tiny girls, each weighing
from to Ia pounds, at Freed
mems Hospital. The infants
were az months premature.
The first was born at 1O:4O
pm. to the wife of Harold Tur-
ner. a Bureuu Of Standards
clerk, and all had been born
within the next II minutes. All
died, despite efforts Of the hos
pital staff to save them, by 6
am. the next day.
Medically, quintuplets are a
Ais million-to-1 shot and only
five other sets are known to
have been born in the United
states since 1880. Quintuplet
births occurred in Kentucky in
1895. 1914 and 1913, in Month
cello, Ill. in 1880 and in Texas
in 1859.

September 7 in Venezuela to
Mrs, Inez Marie Cuervo de Prize
to, "a, who, like Mrs. Fischer
already had five children.
Only twice before in the
Western H e misphere have
quintuplets survived infancy.
The five Dionne sisters became
world sensations and were de-
clared natural resources of Can
ada when they were born in
1884. Four Of them are stu
alive. The other surviving
quints were born in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, in 1943 to Mr..
and Mrs. Franco Diligenti. Mr..
Diligenti is a millionaire, where
as the Dionnes were as poor
as the Venezuelan family.
Having the wealth to do SO,
Mr.. Diligenti kept his brood
pretty much out Of sight and
they grew up unaffected by the
turmoil their birth created. The
Dionnes more or less grew up
in a goldfish bowl and it can
not be said that their exploita-
ton brought them total happi-
ness.
The Venezuelan government
has indicated it will help Mr..
de Prieto with his suddenly ex-
panded responsibilities.

TIMBER noted, Serves to point up
one stark fact: Too many workers,

own holiday. A tragic total of 678
were killed. Traffic deaths on the
highway, SOL; deaths by drowning,
