CO FAR 1946 has been an-amazing
^ season in two ways—for its bril-
liancy nnd its failures. For its Mex-
ico—and the good that Mexico has
done for ball play-
erg everywhere.
The Red Sox, Joe
Louis and Assault
have taken full
charge of the spot-
light side. They
have been the out-
standing cham-
pions. Golf has no
entry with Ben Ho-
gan and Byron Nel-
son, the two lead-
ing money winners,
trailing Lloyd Mangrum in the U.
S. Open. We seem to have the best
tennis players but a Frenchman is
still the Wimbledon winner.
What has happened in the first
year after the war? Except In the
way of record attendances and gen-

World War II hasn't even ap-

Most Class in Football
In my opinion the feature part
of 1946 won't belong to baseball,
racing, boxing, basketball, track,
golf or tennis. It will belong to
football. This applies to both the
college teams and the pros. This
first applies to the quality of com-
petition. There will be far more
class to football than any other
postwar sport can even approach.
I understand that over 100,000 ap-
plications had been made for the
Army-Michigan game back in June.
There will be over 200,000 ticket
applications for this contest at Ann
Arbor. Applications for the Army-
Notre Dame game will pass the
300,000 mark before September.
Army-Notre Dame and Army-Navy
together could leave the 500,000
mark behind — if there was
only space enough.
The Navy-Georgia Tech game In
Atlanta already has two timea the
seat applications that Atlanta can
handle. Notre Dame, Army, Navy
and Michigan will be a triple sell-
out for almost every contest. The
same thing will happen to South-
ern California and UCLA on the
west coast. Also to St. Mary’s and
others.
But I doubt that Notre Dame
will have the team Frank Leahy
had In 1943 or that Army will have
the team Red Blaik had in 1944 or
1945. The talent hasn't improved,
but the crowd interest has. Veter-
ans coming from army and navy
service have proved nothing. Some
have been better — others have
taken a big dip. This has been true
In baseball — and it will be just
as true in college and pro football.
There will be stars from other
years who will shine — and there
will be stars from other years who
will be flops.
There will be a professional foot-
ball entanglement that will leave
you gasping—and more than a few
pocketbo'oks flatter than a thin
plank. In looking on ahead you
will also see a big revival in ten-
nis interest — and one of the hot-
test amateur golf championships
any galloping member of the Thun-
dering Herd has ever known. Bud

Middlecoff — golfers good enough

hypothesis—this system adds up to
a $100,000,000 scandal. Based on a
theory that such hooey boosted the
workers' morale, lt cost probably
50,000,000 man hours in war-plants,
25,000 lost days for officers, diver-
sion of transportation facilities and
waste of gas, plus some of the high-
est-powered hangovers ever experi-
enced by men in uniform.
Army-navy urged these plants to

and champagne suppers, imported
entertainers and party girls, arriv-

planes. All this was legally deducti-
ble for income tax purposes,
chargeable against production costs
and valid accounting In contract
renegotiation.
Officers were assigned, often
traveling hundreds and thousands of
miles, taking several weeks on a
Job, all on government pay and
travel and subsistence expenses.
One public relations officer was al-
ways sent on ahead, to whip up the
show. Higher ones came on later,
to make stuffy speeches, ride in
parades and souse up with the hap-
py executives and their ladles.
There was usually a shutdown.
All hands were guests at shows and
blowouts, In hotels, country clubs,
local theatres taken over. Besides,
there were more exclusive to-dos
for officers and corporation officials,
“guardian angels" and other politi-
cians, with costly souvenirs handed
out — everything charged as legitl-
. mate expense.
PRO* were briefed by higher of-
ficers to encourage as much hoopla
as the plants could swing. Some
of them did practically no other
! work. The signal corps, with only
about a half-dozen HQ posts in the
; country, traveled its advance
agents countless miles. Often the
plants paid these men's expenses
and those of higher officers, al-
though the army did, too, doubling
the cost to the taxpayer,

PROPOSED PEACE TERMS , . . Area affected by the proposed
treaties being considered at the Paris peace conference are shown on
this map in black. Slices of territory on Italian-French border to
France. Greece gets the Dodecanese islands from Italy, which also
loses Libya. Pantelleria would be demilitarized. Albania would be
recognised. Yugoslavia gets most of Venezia Giulia and Zara from
Italy, and Trieste becomes a free territory. Romania gets Transylvania
from Hungary, but It loses Bessarabia and N. Bukovlna to Russia and
6. Dobruja to Bulgaria. Finland loses Petsamo to Russia, but will get
back Hangoe.

swindle was turned np by a cub

They were talking out loud—
apilllng names and all—on the
story the youngster wasn’t
even sure was cooking. ... He
got an earful and ran to a phone.

only that three aharpera had

ROCKET TO MARS . . . Prof.
Alexander Ananoff, director of
astronautics at Sorbonne univer-
sity, Paris, hopes to send the first
atomic energy rocket ship to Mars
by 1960. No humans would be

DISPOSSESS PIGS FOR HOME ... George A. Holman, Davison, Mich.,
with two of Lis three children, Evelyn, 11, and Edith, 14, feeding the
pigs they had to dispossess in order to have a home. The mother left
them several months ago. The father, being out of work, had no place
to go, so he moved the two girls into the hen house and he and his
son, Kenneth, 12, live in the pig pen. Neighborhood farmers are offer-
ing to help the destitute family.
The prisoner in the dark Gestapo
dungeon in Berlin was tall, gaunt
Rudolf Diels, founder of the Gestapo
in the first turbulent days of the
Nazi regime. Diels had said “no”
to Adolf when the fuehrer ordered
him to liquidate an old pal who had
outlived his usefulness to the swas-
tika-gang. Now, Rudolf sat in his
cell, awaiting the hangman—by or-
der of Hitler, who did not like peo-
ple who dared to say "no.”
Standing before Diels was med-
al-dripping Hermann Goering. "I
order you to divorce my sister,"
growled Goering. "Get out of her
life. We cannot have a man in our
family hung!"
Diels, a cool character, shrugged
his shoulders, told Goering where
to go.
Circumstances — too long and in-
volved to relate here—saved Diels
from the hangman. Today, sitting
in a villa in Nuernberg, he sup-
plies the prosecution with valuable
information against the major war
criminals. Among his frequent vis-
itors was Capt. Harry N. Sperber,
chief German interpreter at the
trials.
I "Strange,” mused Diels to Harry,
a sardonic smile on his sallow,
sabre-slashed face. “It looks as if
—after all—dear Hermann will have
a man in the family hung! . . . Him-
self!"
