' UNITED STATES- - - suggest taat John Bain Sutherland, better known as Jock, is tackling a new sort of job. The job is still coaching a football team, but this time it is the Brooklyn Dodgers and not the Pittsburgh Panthers. "This is my first shot at pro football," Jock tells you, "and I'll have to admit it may be something entirely different. "For example, there's the matter of forward passing. As you know we liked to bang onto the ball at Pittsburgh as long as we could. I used good passers when I had them, but I didn't like to throw the ball around too much when I didn't have them. "It is different with the Dodgers. We have the passers, one of the best in Ace Parker, and we'll do our full share of air work. I know also that pro crowds demand a more open or more spectacular game. College football is full of spectacular play, but no fireworks are demanded by the crowds." Big crowds still remember those slashing Panther backs who ran and blocked with an offensive that was hard to stop. odd to ITtheMAY seem Rt Hon.

That prophecy doesn't require the services of a soothsayer. It's as inevitable as a hangover. There are too many evenly matched teams to afford anything but a maximum of excitement, upset dope and ruined calculations. The decision of the University of Chicago to forsake football has led to a better balance within the conference. No team this year will romp over Chicago for a pathetically easy victory and another meaningless mark in the win column. They'll fight for every victory. Early season dope has Ohio in first place, closely followed by Indi ana, Michigan and Minnesota. Northwestern and Iowa may double-cros- s the experts, Illinois can cause plenty of trouble and Purdue and Wisconsin have their quota of howling adherents. Proposes Budget For Rearmament ' CHICAGO. A billion-dollar-a-ye- ar rearmament program for the United States which would not cost taxpayers a red cent now or in the future is the prospect held out by the National Consumers Tax commission. In a message to the quarter-millio- n members in 45 states, Mrs. Melville Mucklestone, NCTC president, declared that "if our local governments would eliminate inefficiency and waste from the administration of their affairs, American taxpayers would be saved a sum so large that it would more than offset the ,$994,400,000 to be raised annually through the national defense act which went into effect July 1." This seemingly solution to a large part of the defense problem is an actual possibility, Mrs. Mucklestone said, for the simple reason that the local taxpayer is the same one who foots the national tax bill and therefore costs of defense measures. "Experts agree that making our city, town, county, and other local governmental units thoroughly ef ficient and honest would cut from 10 to 20 per cent from our total local tax bill," the NCTC leader declared, "without curtailing essential governmental services. WARREN t.PIERSON yet this financial institution in the last six years has agreed to lend to countries all over the world nearly $437,000,000, has actually advanced and has collected re$160,000,000, payments of $61,500,000. Asked how this could be done, Warren Lee Pierson, president of the bank, replied that the institution uses as much as possible existing the American commercial banks kind where checks are cashed. These banks advance the funds and handle the documents. Interest payments are shared bebank and tween the Export-Impothe bank which handled the business. The bank was founded in 1934 to assist in the marketing abroad of industrial and agricultural products, particularly cotton, and has slowly developed into one of the most potent forces in stabilizing the foreign trade of the United States, making it possible for the American foreign trader to compete in a world in which other governments direct and control practically all the foreign trade of their nationals. rt .
