NEWARK, N. J.—The last earthly
wish of Miss Louisa Strittmater—to
show her utter contempt for men—
was rejected when a court set aside
her will, which would have cut off
her male relatives without a penny
and left the bulk of her estate to the
National Women’s party.
Neighbors said the elderly spin-

her to hoard her money in'her home

Faith still moves mountains, provided it has as its motivat-
ing force a person who refuses to recognize obstacles which to
most people would seem insurmountable.
Down in Columbus, Ohio, the unbounded faith of one man
has proved the major factor in formation and development of
the Columbus Boychoir School, which in the short span of six
years has been accorded national and international acclaim in
the realm of youth projects and educational enterprises.

was conceived by Herbert Huffman,
musical director of the school, who
for several years had been minister
of music in a Columbus church.
Founded on Faith.
When the school opened its doors
in September, 1940, its chief assets
were Huffman’s faith and the enthu-
siasm of Harry C. Marshall, head-
master.
Although books) blackboards
and teachers’ salaries were
among the missing items, the
lack of these usual essentials in
the school was a minor factor.
The men and boys worked to-
gether for the development of
their ideal until their own en-
thusiasm began to pay divi-
dends.
In launching the unique education-
al project, the founders termed it a
“venture into choral training using
music as the means, not the end—
a motivation, not a goal.” The di-
rectors decided that choral train-
ing held untold possibilities for the
educational and moral development
of each boy.
Actually, the choir had existed
two years prior to founding of the
school. The boys had rehearsed
after their own schools let out, but
time did not permit sufficient
personal contact between teacher
and boys.
Form Unique School.
The solution was the Columbus
Boychoir School of four grades,
using the standard scholastic cur-
riculum with emphasis placed on

“Our first line strength is ex-
tremely good,” Red Blaik tells you,
as he looks over his eager talent-
talent that includes such backfield
stars as Blanchard, Davis, McWil-
liams and Tucker. “But we are no
longer three deep. We are no long-
er even two deep. In addition to
our starting backfield, which will
match any in football, we have Fu-
son at center, Poole and Foldberg
at ends and two good guards.”
As good as Blanchard and Davis
are, they are not as likely to steal
the entire show again from such fine
backs as young Tucker at quarter
and Shorty McWilliams at halfback.
A look at the complete records in
McWilliams’ case proved the Army
was entirely blameless in connec-
tion with Coach McKean’s charges
from Mississippi State. It was Mc-
Williams, backed up by his fam-
ily, who wanted to come to West
Point. McWilliams made applica-
tion while still in high school, be-
fore he ever entered Mississippi
State. Letter after letter has proved
this.
The trouble started on his home
furlough when rather luscious finan-
cial inducements, apart from any
Mississippi State official connection,
were made. And don’t believe this
was the only large financial induce-
ment offered a college football play-

to pour in. Two-thirds of the
back salaries now have been
paid. Huffman, who had re-
ceived nothing for his labors for
the first five years, has started
to draw his well-earned wages.
The school, which started with
faith and a $6,000 budget, has
set its goal at $25,000 next year.
Lack of housing and boarding fa-
cilities for out-of-town applicants
has prevented many deserving boys
from taking advantage of the
unique opportunities offered by the
school. To remedy this situation,
more than $100,000 of a $150,000
quota has been raised in an inten-
sive building campaign.

in Bloomfield, N. J., after her
death on December 9, 1944.
In setting aside her will, Vice-
chancellor John O. Bigelow said
the woman’s hatred of men went
beyond the borderline of sanity.
“Miss Strittmater regarded men
with an insane hatred and looked for-
ward to the scientific day when
handicapped by injuries to key men,
it will take quite a team to turn
the trick.”
At this point, Athletic Director
Colonel Biff Jones was gazing mood-
ily into the autumn sky.
“I was just thinking,” he said,
“that if we had enough parking
space for the human body, we could
play to at least 300,000 in the Michi-
gan game, and over 800,000 in the
Notre Dame and Navy games. We
might do 300,000 in the Pennsylvania
game.

to my office and see the ticket re-
quests already piled up. There were

In response to requests from par-
ents in all parts of the country, the

at Chautauqua, N. Y., was estab-
lished to make the unique training
of the school available to boys from
other communities.
Supported at first by nothing but
an abounding faith, Columbus Boy-
choir School today ranks as one of
the nation’s major achievements in
the artistic and educational world.

climaxed a significant change in
his relations with the press. The
old days of intimate, chummy talks
now have vanished! Truman was
cool, aloof, even chilly.
And for good reason. Some of his
supposedly most trusted news
friends let him down. Off-the-record
talks which the President thought
were going only to half a dozen
people leaked out and became the
property of millions.
Most disillusioning of these was a
reunion of the “Hard Rock Club,” a
group of a dozen newsmen who cov-
ered Truman’s vice presidential
campaign when he was ignored by
the rest of the country.
Several weeks ago the President
invited the boys to an evening on
the yacht Williamsburg. They
played poker, drank bourbon and
generally let their hair down—
especially the President. He was
indiscreet enought to tell all about
the Russian situation and what he
thought of Chester Bowles — then
OPA administrator.
His remarks were not com-
plimentary. Truman minced
no words about either Bowles
or the Russians and it was hard
to say which he liked least. Al-
though he favored OPA, he
thought the fight to win its ap-
proval from congress would not
have been so hard if Bowles
had not issued so much prop-
aganda and talked so much.
Shortly afterward, Time maga-
zine published a brief account of
this very confidential evening.
Blame for the leak fell upon Ed-
ward Lockett, Time staffer who is
a member of the Hard Rock club.
Truman was so indignant that for
a long time he would not speak to
Lockett. Other club members vir-
tually ostracized him.
Later, the Chicago Sun’s Tom
Reynolds, no member of the club,
wrote another account of the Presi-
dent’s of-the-r ecord remarks on
that memorable evening. Natural-
ly, Truman’s views got back to the
Russians. This made him even more
vexed—and worried.
So from now on the chief execu-
tive has decided not to be the naive
and trusting gentleman he once was
with his supposed close friends of
the press. During the Bermuda trip,
for instance, he gave press secre-
tary Charlie Ross instructions that
newsmen were to ask no questions
which did not pertain directly to
the trip. And when one man violated
this rule to ask why Rhode Island’s
Sen. Theodore Green was not in-
vited aboard the Williamsburg, the
President nearly snapped his head
off.

Tough Year for Army
“This is the hardest year we’ve
known since 1943,” Blaik says.
“Frank Lahey at Notre Dame is
three deep with a flock of veterans
who range back to his great team
of 1943. Many have picked Notre
Dame as the best team in football.
It may be Pennsylvania will give
us all the trouble we can handle.
Navy had some hard luck in losing
men, but Tom Hamilton will do a
fine job with a squad that will give
anyone a battle.
“Few men on our squad,” Red
added, “have ever known defeat.
They love football. They are all
fine officer material, and that is
what West Point is supposed to turn
out. We can be beaten and we may
be beaten, but unless we are

den check. The fight for young
stars, plus inducements offered, al-
ready have broken all past records.
Athletic scholarships and jobs
that can take a young fellow through
college, are O. K. But not the
substantial paycheck on the side,
usually handled by keyed-up alumni.
Back again to this 1946 Army
squad—
In my opinion Army will have the
best backfield in college football—
Blanchard, Davis, McWilliams and
Tucker—power, speed, smartness
and spirit. Once again, keep a
more open eye on McWilliams and
Tucker.

A Smart Choice
McWilliams elected to stay at
West Point of his own free will. It
was a smart move in his case, as
too • many leaving service football
have come under the gossip of duck
ing the draft, whether or not the
charges are true. I might add that
his opponents will find the able
entry from Mississippi is one of
the best backs in football. He is a
great kid with unusual ability. And
if there is a better quarterback in
college football than young Tucker,
or a much better passer, I’d like
to have his name.
This year of 1946 may be the last
season in some time that Army can
field any winning team.
For one reason, too many colleges
are paying good football players
money that West Point and Annapo-
lis won’t and have no desire to
meet. For another reason, too
many young men have no yearn-
ing to get up at 5 a. m. and work
16 hours a day.
It is my belief that college pay-
checks are going to lead to a na-
tional scandal unless there is a sud-

choral training. Admission to the
school—then and now—had two
requisites, musical aptitude and the
possibility of a good voice. Forty-
eight boys attended the opening ses-
sion, the enrollment increasing con-
sistently to reach the present total
of 97.
A noh-profit, interdenominational
institution, the school relies on re-
turns from its own concerts and
public subscriptions for support.
Although the teachers in the ear-
ly days of the struggling school
were given no assurance of a salary,
they came anyway as a result of
their faith in the genius of Huffman
ahd the conviction that their ideal
eventually would be realized.
Make Town Hall Debut.
In the third year of its existence,
the unique, tuition-free organization
got its long-awaited opportunity.
Siegfried Hearst, representative of
the National Concerts and Artists
corporation, attended a rehearsal of
the Boychoir in Columbus. Capti-
vated by the group, he advised a
Town Hall debut in New York. Ig-
noring the financial drain, the choir
went to New York to score its first
outstanding success. Reviewers
were lavish in their praise.
Only disappointment following the
Town Hall debut was that the
anticipated request from N.C.A.C.
to manage the Boychoir failed to
materialize. Now, however, the
N.C.A.C. has full management of
the choir’s affairs.

serve as a bulwark against Rus-
sia.
President Truman, who has come
to put complete trust in Byrnes’
judgment, agreed.
Whether or not the Russians
tapped the trans-Atlantic phone,
or whether they had other Ways
of knowing what was going on
is anyone’s guess. Maybe it was
just coincidence.
Anyway, it was shortly after this
that Foreign Minister Molotov
made his sudden, mystery flight to
Moscow. Simultaneously, inspired
stories began to leak out of Poland
that Russia would take Silesia away
from Poland and give it to Ger-
many. Obviously this was German
bait to counteract the offer Byrnes
was going to make to Germany.
If Russia goes ahead with this
policy of “The Soviet giveth and
the Soviet taketh away,” it will
cause the toughest showdown so far
experienced between Moscow and
Washington.
The categorical Byrnes-Truman
position is that the Soviet can
neither “giveth nor taketh” with-
out the consent of its allies, that
Germany’s boundaries are to be de-
cided only at the final peace treaty
—which Russia so far has refused
to call.
