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.”

Teacher—Now, Willie, how much

| Willie—Go ahead!
Teacher—What do you mean “go

| 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

Teacher—That’s fine.
Johnny—Now can I go for the

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.”)

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.

Credit the army with a forthright

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.

G.I.s SOLVE DENAZIFICATION PROBLEM ... In the Bremen area of the American zone of occupation

WORLD NURSES STUDY IN NEW YORK . . . More than 100 gradu

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.

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.
