DOPING
IT OUT!
(By Jo« Woodley)
alive, I was set back on my haunch*
♦*». Somehow, I’m afraid those Bron-
cos of Denton are going to'do so up-
setting of the apple cart here Friday
night.
NO ESCAPE. The grid experts
have been wrong practically every
time this year they attempted to
predict a winner of a game in which
the Wildcats of Sulphur Springs
were listed as one of the partici-
pants. So now the wise guys whe
stick out their neck and call the turn
on football games as they go About
earning their bread and butter have
declared the Wildcats are favorites
to maul the Denton Broncos here
f riday night. About the time I'm
ready to hop on the Wildcat wagon
body and soul, I get to thinking
about a little game played on Oct. 6
I popped off on the street corners
and over the radio and to boo
scribbled a ream of copy about the
manner the Wildcats would triumph.
The Wildcats didn’t win the scuffle,
neither did they lose it, but, man j
bciy, has a couple of more years of
eligibility. About 1942 the college
scouts should be frequenting his
doorstep.*..

(From Dallas News.)
Dallas signed articles with the
devil, put on a hagjish dress and
jumped into a wild and riotous
witche’ Sabbath that turned out to
be one of the city's costliest Hallo- j
weens Tuesday night.
The fire department rushed its'
thundering red trucks at a danger-
ous pace to ten false alarms.. No
estimate of, property damage could
be made, but. Desk Sergt. \V. S. I
Browdon at the police station said!
more street lights, windshields and I
windows had been broken than in
any former year he could remem-
ber.
At the corner of Elm and Poyd-
r»r, while the downtown celebration
whirled at its craziest, a 15-year-old
toughie thoroughly cursed a big mid-'
die-aged woman because she got!
mad when he hit her with a paddle.
It was ail good, clean fun. Yeah. |
The celebration started early. By I
H p.m. policemen in pairs were
standing in the middle of every
street leading into Elm from Lamar
to Harwood, waving traffic around
it, barring it off for a carnival pla
za. Every piece of, robing equip-!
ment in the police department was I
in service. Except for fifteen men I
who weie ill, the whole police force]
was working.
Thousand, Jam Elm Street.
Behind them the crowd drifted i i
waving the thick wooden paddle-
that are the insignia of Dallas Hal-
loween celebrators. At the height of
the celebartion more than 20,(100
persons jammed Elm street. They
swept it clear of traffic, ami filled
it from wall to wall.
Front Akard street, the crowd
stretched east, one vast mass o!
slowly milling people, surmounted
hv a boiling cloud of -moke and
; dust that shone yellow in the ligh
• f the street lamps. Out of the
crowd, above its heads, the uncoiling
strings of serpentines shot at inter-
vals, like rockets. Above it sounded
the screech of whi-tles, the flat, eai
splitting bleat of paper horns, the
| thump of beaten tin buckets. s
In the doorways of the loclie
business places, hawkers had set up
iitlle stands. Around the counters
orange paper hats popped on head
whistles popped in mouths. Handful
of paper scraps, torn newspapers
and confetti puffed upward lik*
clouds of steam, carpeting the- -ide
walks completely with dirty paper
When the supply gave out, smal
boys ran up and down the sidewalk
fanning the dirty paper up in swirls
with gunny sacks.
Uiual Quota of Clown,.
Between the packed lines of ar
audience on the sidewalk, a strange
p ocession promenaded around and
around. The usual quota of clowns
long lanky ones, short stubby ones
| ghosts, witches and skeletons.
garishly clud mountaineer fathei
j inarched hi-- daughter and her bo>
friends along at the end of a shot
gu:i. A tall, hairy hoy simpered back
and forth in a woman’s night dress.
! Another six-foot youth walked about
i in nothing but his shirttail. As the
crowd got thicker, the huskier one>
started line plunges through it.
Once during the night, the wail of
fire sirens suddenly stilled the noise-
makers. The crowd split in terroi
toward the sidewalk. Through them
eased three of the city's fire trucks,
on their way to a theater fire thal
turned out to be an auto exhaust.
Once inside the crowd, the trucks
were flooded with people. Firemen
trying to get a ladder out of a Nva-
gon found their elbows on people's
| heads, their feet on women’s au-
kies, their bodies pinioned against
the car by the crowd's weight. The
! jam held the inspector's car five
minutes after the others had eased
away.
As the night wen(, on, the going
got rougher. There came sharp
smacks from the paddles, and pain-
ed “ohs.” A husky man in white ov-
eralls walloped a girl arross the hips
with a leather bp]t and guffawed
when she cried. Occasionally the
crowd parted in a small circle. Two
men, muttering, squared off until
one of the sweating policemen dos-
ed in on them. The fumily groups
started easing discreetly toward
home.
Police Get Many Complaint,.
At that point, one indignant ma-
tron who had just had her skirts
swirled up about her waist, stood on
the corner of Elm and St. Paul,
voicing her anger: “It’s bad enough
when the boys do such things, but
when the girls—”
By 11:30 the paper was all gone.
Every store window in the area was
soaped thoroughly. And the gather-
ing started breaking up.
Meantime, down in the shadowy
basement of the city hall where the
police department work*, the com-

I diet radio dispatchers were need-
ed to handle the calls. They cane,
more tna:i one a minute, 143 alto-
gether in the peiiod between 7:15
and 9:15 o'clock.
Cut in the suburbs small boys
were souping streetcar tracks as
fust its they could he discovered.
They were -hying rocks nil too accu-
rately at street lumps, windshields
and windows. At Munger and Punk
Officers Baggett arrd Chambers
caught seven of a gang who hail at-
tacked passing motorists with fir
extinguishers and milk bottles filled
with liquid soap. At headquarter*
the seven who did not get away tried
to match wits with Inspector Will
Fritz in disclaiming any knowledge
of the fire extinguishers. They fin-
ally admitted they came from an
apartment house.
Thirty-Two Arretted
The eighteen squad cars, ton pair,
of motorcycles, one Black Maria and
six three-wheel motorcycles, the
army of uniformed detectives, made
335 call- and 32 arrests duiing the
celebration period. Inspector Fritz
had taken the precaution of locking
up eight of the city’s pest safe
crackers. The infractions were most-
ly minor.
During the downtown celebration,
officer,* arrested two boy* who wer-
parading with a double-barreled
shotgun. It turned out to be an air
gun. They also hauled up a slightly
intoxicated man who was playfully
threatening people with a knife.
The fire department answered 15
alarms, ten of them false. At 9:00
p.m. the central station sent a truck
hurrying to the old Circle Theater
at St. Paul and Bryan to douse u
blazing awning.

Moscow.—Premier Molotoff Tues-
day chided President Roosevelt for
lending Finland the "moral support’’
of the United States, in effect warn-
ed the Finns to come to terms, and
notified the world that Russia is
drawing closer to Germany and Ja-
pan, once partners in the anti-coin-
intern pact.
In an exhaustive report on Rus-
sia’s new foreign policy, the pre-
mier and foreign commissar told
more than 1,100 deputies attending
the extraordinary joint session of
the Soviet Council that the United
States' move to repeal its arms em-
bargo would “intensify, aggravate
and protract” the European war.
Highlight, of Talk.
1. Struck at President Roosevelt
for “intervening” in Russia’s nego-
tiations with Finland "in contradic-
tion of the United States' policy of
neutrality.”
2. Declared Russia was unable to
understand Finland’s refusal of u
mutual assistance pact similar to
those which made the Baltic States
of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania
virtual protectorates.
3. Denounced Great Britain and
France for carrying on the war wi:h
Germany for the purpose, he said,
of safeguarding their colonial posses-
sions.
4. Said “there inn be no question
of restoring Poland” and that it was
“absurd to continue the present
war” for such a cause.
5. Asserted thnt German and Rus-
sian relations arc being placed on
an .increasingly solid and friendly
basis.
t>. Announced trade negotiations
would be opened with Japun and
opened the door for a move by
Tokio toward stronger co-operation
—possibly a nonaegression pact.
7, Gave no hint of any possible
Soviet aims in the Balkans but
sHid Turkey, which refused a pact
with Russia and signed one with
Britain and France, must take note
of the offer of co-operation to Ja-
pan.
Stalin Get, Ovation.
By her pact with Britain and
France, he said, Turkey had moved
into the “orbi* of war” and he
would not hazard a guess whether
Turkey would come to regret it.
Russia’s dictator, Josef Stalin, was
given a tremendous ovation when
he seated himself along with other
Soviet leaders in front of the t hair-
man’s rostrum of the modern hall
built behind the picturesque Krem-
lin.
Touching on President Roosevelt’s
plea on Oct. 11 for Finland, Molo-
toff said near the end of hi* ad-
dress :
“One finds it hard to reconcile
that with the American policy of
neutiality.
"In a message to Comrade Ka-
linin. chairman of the presiduum of
the Supreme Soviet, Mr. Roosevelt
expressed the hope that friendly
and peaceful relations between the
U.*S. S. R. and Finland would be]
pr< served and developed.
“One might think that matter*
are in better shape between the Unit-
ed States and, let us say, the Philip-
pines or Cuba, who have long been
demanding freedom and independ-
ence from the United State* uni
can not get them, than between the
Soviet Union and Finland, who has
long ago obtained both freedom and
political independence from the So-
viet Union.”
