THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. ANOTHER STRIKE WAVE WASHINGTON. —Only two labor leaders have let the cat out of the bag but around Christmas the na tion will face its greatest strike wave in history. Most labor leaders are not talk ing about this before election, for fear of hurting the chances of their particular congressional candidates. Not so John L. Lewis, head of the Mine Workers and Walter Reuther, head of the powerful CIO Auto Workers. Despite the fact, that Lewis had demanded the end of meat control and wage stabilization; despite the fact that the AFL went on record for the end of all controls, AFL and CIO leaders held a series of secret huddles after Truman’s meat speech to decide on a new wage policy. Most of them agreed to soft pedal strikes for the moment and see what happened to the price structure. However, Lewis, who wants to be president of AFL, and Reuther, who wants to be president of the CIO, would not hold back. • * • SPANISH WAR SURPLUS As if there weren’t enough headaches in disposing of sur plus goods from this war, War Assets administration recently had to unload some ancient horse-drawn ambulances used in the Spanish-American war. The problem finally was solved by removing the wheels and painting the bodies in deli cate pastel tints. Presto — the relics were converted into gay cabanas and bathing shelters for seashore resorts. They sold like hotcakes. • • • CHURCHILL FUMES Winston Churchill is getting more and more irked over reports that he is the member of the Big Three chiefly responsible for sabotaging a democratic peace. Originally, Churchill had planned to take plenty of time writing his memoirs, spinning them out in threi volumes to be finished about three years nence. Now, however, friends say he wants to put out a quick short volume to answer critics. This book would deal with some of the Big Three conferences, especially 'Teheran. Churchill’s critics have blamed him for the spheres of influence agreed upon at Teheran, following which Russia took over most of the Balkans, while England took over Greece. Churchill’s friends, on the other hand, claim that actually he was vigorously opposed to these spheres of influence and threw the Atlantic charter in Roosevelt’s face. Stalin, however, replied that Britain could have her own sphere of influence, and in the end Roosevelt cast his weight with Stalin. Whether this or Elliott Roosevelt’s version is true, remains to be seen. However, it is interesting that the Harry Hopkins inspired stories jO the Saturday Evening Post imme diately after Teheran dwelt heavily on the fact that Roosevelt decided to cast his lot with the Russians. If correctly interpreted, that decision has now backfired. • * • SHE WASN’T FROM MISSOURI Kate Smith was so excited she lost her hat and almost forgot her gloves when she called at the White House to launch the Community Chest drive and to give President Truman the orig inal copy of the Community Chest’s new march, “The Red Feather.” It was composed by Maj. George Howard of the army band, who accompanied her. e “Gee, it’s great to be home again, Mr. President,” said Miss Smith once she got to the White House, gloves and all. “You know, I am a native Washingtonian.” “Well, I’m mighty glad to hear that,” grinned Truman. “It’s a rare occasion when you find a native Washingtonian in Washington any more. They tell m‘ v . about everybody here is from Missouri.” • * * NAZIS ARE STILL NAZIS Th0 Influence of the Radio Teacher—Now, Willie, how much is two times one? | Willie—Go ahead! Teacher—What do you mean “go ahead?” | Willie (anxiously) — Go ahead and tell me how much I get if I come up with the right answer! • Teacher—For that you stay after school. Johnny Smith, you were very poor in your reading test. Let me see what you can do, begin ning on page 6. Johnny—The white cat saw the gray mouse under the tall chair. Teacher—That’s fine. Johnny—Now can I go for the jackpot? * Teacher — Such children! Minnie Potter, how do you spell "apple?” Minnie—You mean backwards? Teacher—Why backwards? Minnie—That’s the way they spell everything today. Teacher — Just spell “apple” for wards. Minnie (peevishly) — My daddy says that if I spell “apple” forwards I won’t get anywhere with them. He says that to get anything across and make big sales you got to spell it backwards. Teacher — Who’s running this school, your father or I? A child — Would you mind re peating the question? > Teacher — This is getting just too much. Steven Gates, if Kate has two plums and Nellie has four plums how many plums have they to gether? Steven—Could I ask on equestion first? Teacher—Certainly. Steven—What is the jackpot now? * Teacher (pretty frantic) — I’m beside myself. I’m dazed and exas perated. I don’t know what to do with you children. A Little Girl (who has been on one of those juvenile advice hours) —Well, I think your problem could be solved by relaxing. You ! need more rest. If I were you I ! would. . . Teacher—You children are awful. There is only one little boy in the j class who is really intelligent and whose standing is high in all sub jects. I am going to call on Jasper Loobey to show you how to answer questions. Jasper Loobey, please stand up! A Little Boy—Jasper Loobey isn’t here today. His mother asked me to tell you she had to keep him out as he had to be on a Quiz Kid hour this afternoon. (Teacher leaps through the win dow screaming, “Wonderful! Per fect! That wins you 10 silver dol lars.”) • • • THE REAL NEWS NEWSREEL Note that the old World Fair grounds on Long Island, N. F., have been ac cepted by the United Nations, will Trygve Lie do a fan dance? ... And who gets the cane-ringing concession? . . . Our Nuern berg scouts report that Goering concealed that poison in his upper tier of chins. . . . Jimmy Byrnes on the radio sounds like a college professor trying to impress the dean. . .. Lady Windermere may have had fans, but we are not one of ’em. • • • Bad News From the High Court According to reports, Justice Robert Jackson and Justice Hugo Black ignore each other and do not even speak as the new Supreme court session gets under way. “Neither looked at the other at any time. They sat several seats apart, and at no time did they speak,” says a news item. ♦ This depresses us deeply. If we can’t have unity, peace, understand ing and brotherly love on the high est court in our land, how can we have it on lower levels? There is something scary in the thought of the United States Supreme court be ing no different ftom the lawyers and their clients. Col. Bernard Bernstein, ex-finan- cial adviser to General Eisenhower at SHAEF, has just returned from his first tour of Germany since he retired from the army. Bernstein, who strongly urged denazification of Germany, talked with many Ger mans in Berlin after Secretary of State Byrnes’ Stuttgart speech in which he pledged a reunited Ger many. Bernstein reports that Nazis are still Nazis. * • * MERRY-GO-ROUND Credit the army with a forthright stand on post-exchange money. It is turning 22 million dollars of post exchange profits back to the treas ury. The fund could have been kept by the army for its own uses, but Secretary Patterson ruled other wise. . . . Unless too many north erners endorse it first, the new nov el, “Night Fire,” should be well re ceived in the South. The author, Ed ward Kimbrough, a Southerner, writes of the South’s dilemma over social traditions. We had a casw; all prepared for carrying to the Supreme court, iri fact we had just christened a new carrier to do the job, but we phoned our attorney and suggested that he take the appeal only through courts that got along well, and stop the minute he ran into some tribunal full of hard looks and cold shoul ders. Our lawyer argued back. He contended that it might be a break to submit the case to judges not on speaking terms. * * * The more we study these photo graphs of disorders in Hollywood, the more we expect to hear of a scene of violence being called off because the photographer was not ready. And of a case where the cops who slugged it out with the strikers agreed to do it all over for a “retake.” • * » "Fifty-one Nations at Waldorf”— Headline. * Just impossible to get rest and quiet at any hotel any more. PILGRIMS OF 1946 . . . The Pilgrims of 1620 had their “Mayflower.” The PUgrims of 1946, Estonians and Finns, who want to live in a free country, nndoqainated by any "ism,” had their “Brill,” a 40-foot motor sloop in which they arrived at Miami, Fla., after a 71-day voyage from Sweden. This group, con- sisUng of eight men, three women and a three-and-a-half-year-old girl, was the second to arrive in Miami. G.I.s SOLVE DENAZIFICATION PROBLEM ... In the Bremen area of the American zone of occupation in Germany, where denazification is the top project of military officials, 10 American G.I.s, who fought the war the hard way, have come forth with their own denazification projection, Headed by Sgt. Patrick J. Mo- riarity, a red-headed Irishman from Shakopee, Minn., the G.I.s have formed an American youth club for Ger man boys between the ages of 10 and 17. More than 3,000 application.' from German boys were received. PRISONERS WILL EYES TO BLIND . . . Some 1,000 prisoners in Stateville penitentiary, Joliet, 111., who volunteered to bequeath their eyes to medical science after their death, so that many blind persons may be able to see again, sign up in the prison grounds. Only parts of the “cornea” will be used in subsequent “transplanting” operations to restore vision, in certain cases of “corneal” deficiency. DEPUTY SHERIFFS . . . Believe it or not, these opposites are dep uty sheriffs of Las Vegas, Nev. Richard Brasno, 3 feet, 4 inches, looks up at Cyril Stewart, 6 feet, 3 inches. They were assigned to guard war bride during trial. WORLD NURSES STUDY IN NEW YORK . . . More than 100 gradu ate nurses from China, Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia are taking four-month refresher courses on U. S. teaching methods, medicine, tuberculosis treatment and communicable disease tech niques, at various hospitals in New York City. They will form a nurse eadre that will spread the new knowledge to thousands of other nurses in their respective lands. UNRRA Is footing the bill. FOR UNITED NATIONS’ LADIES . . . Jean White displays the Unit ed Nations scarf which will be presented to women delegates. The scarf carries the seal of each of the 51 nations in color on white silk as well as U.N. map. J UST how long the new boom that has hit sports of every variety will last is anybody’s guess. This includes baseball, football, racing, basketball, golf, hockey, ten nis, boxing, curling, bowling, shot put ting, table tennis, gin rummy, javelin throwing, hunting, fishing, automobile racing or jumping through a hoop. Tail - end baseball teams draw over a million. Many times beaten football teams pack the stands. Promoters or others who take credit for this amazing public surge in their own line are merely being goofy. They don't even have to be smart or good. Just open the gate. Make it a dogfight. It doesn’t seem to mat ter. But there is at least one detail that can’t be missed. In this coun try or nation of some 3 million square miles and some 140 million sport-loving people, there is room for two major professional football leagues. The New York Giants proved that when, facing double competition from the Yankees and the Dodgers they packed the Polo Grounds with their greatest crowd. The Cleveland Browns, in the new league, have passed any expected mark. They have set new records up above 70,- 000. So far, in their exhibition and their scheduled games, both leagues have gone far beyond early expecta tions. The situation hasn’t been so hot in several spots, including Los An geles—a hot college center—but the general average has been exception al. The Giants could play at least one game a season before 100,000 spec tators—if there were room enough to park the human frame. We still believe, as far as the two leagues are concerned, that there is room enough in this country for 16 pro teams, 8 in each league. And both leagues can save enough to pack a mint by working out the same arrangement the National and American baseball leagues have to day. The rivalry of the two leagues has made baseball what it is. The same inter league rivalry, with a postseason championship, will be just as effective for pro footbaU. In such an event, we could have results thrown against futile argu ments. • • * The Two Best Backs Several correspondents have writ ten in lately, asking if any other football team ever had a pair of backs to match Blanchard and Da vis, Army’s terrifying football twins. Let’s look at the record, as A1 Smith used to say. Carlisle’s Indians once had Thorpe and Guyon—not too bad. Harvard had Mann and Bvickley. Yale had Coy and Philbin. Michigan had Hes ton and Boss Weeks. Cornell offers Pfann and Kaw. Pennsylvania had Hollenback and Manier. Stanford had Grayson and Hamilton. Notre Dame has had many great pairs—a longer list than most of the others. Minnesota, Tennessee, Alabama— these and many others—have' had strong backfield combinations, counting only two men. But we can’t locate at the mo ment any other combination that ranks with Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis in all-around ability and destructive effectiveness. In making a complete check you’ll come upon these facts— 1. Davis and Blanchard are bril liant ball carriers, through the line or out in the open. Both are ex tremely fast. 2. Both can throw a pass and both can handle a pass. 3. Both are excellent blockers. 4. Both know how to tackle and are strong defensively. 5. Both are dangerous opponents against a rival pass. 6. Both can kick. 7. Both are packed with stamina and durability and both give all they have at every start. Neither is tem peramental or swelled-headed. They happen to be two fine kids who play the game for the love of it. In looking back many years over a long list we can’t locate any team that had any such pair among its backfield talent, not for a few games but through the greater part of three hard seasons. When you’ve seen Blanchard and Davis turned loose on some field you’ve looked upon the best that football has ever had to offer. Gran tland Rice About Bob Neyland Bob Neyland of Tennessee, now General Neyland, an old West Point er, left his coaching job in 1942 for army duty. It was generally accepted that it would take Neyland a year or so to rebuild a winning team against the powerful opposition the South always offers. But in his first year back we find Neyland’s volun teers heading the Southern parade, at least a stride in front of Wally Butt’s Georgia delegation. 1 >. = CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST.
