PAULS VALLEY GARVIN COUNTY OKLAHOMA THURSDAY OCTOBER 19 1939
Coach Cotton Loyd's Wilson high-
school Eagles will fly into Pau Is Val-
ley Friday night for a non-conference
game wtih Coach 'Peacho Thompson's
Panthers for a hard tussle which
usually is the case when these he-
men of the bird and cat families
tangle
There's no conferecce flag at stake
for either eleven but the Panthers
still haven't forgotten how they were
treated in the way of home-team
touchdowns at Wilson last year and
they are out to avenge that setback
twe g
The starting lineup as announced
by the Wilson coach reveals the Pan-
thers will have to spot their adver-
saries some pourdage again this week
which the city eleven has been doing
with monotonous regularity for a
couple of seasons and which they are
beginning to think is just about as
pleasant as pulling a molar from a
lion's head
Despite the fact that they have
been up against heavier teams which
looked to them like a squadron of
steamrollers the Panthers have scored
against every ore of their five op-
ponents while winning one game
against four losses which demon-
strates conclusively they have the
scoring ability When they get around
to the point of proving a big offense
if a good defense they should be
coming around They hope Friday
right will tell the tale in this respect
Pony Backfield
The Wilson team not only will have
the largest single man on the field—
Left Tackle Harold Sparks only weighs
240 pounds—but also will have a
weight advantage almost man for man
in the line Only Vernon Alexander
cotter and Pig Thompson tackle in
the Panther line resemble the visitors
in size The smallest man in the
Eagles' line weighs 160
Loyd will put a pony backfield be-
hind his mammoth forward wall while
Thompson again will try a combina-
tion of a pony backfield behind a
pony line Three Panther linemen who
will get the starting call weigh less
than '150 pounds
The game will be played at Thomp-
son field beginning at 8 o'clock

PEACE MOVE BY
CHIEF IS URGED
So Ions Suggest Roosevelt
Attempt To Mediate
Europe's War
—
WASHINGTON Oct ''"19:--(4')—A
suggestion that President Roosevelt
try immediately to bring about a
European peace conference came to-
day from Senators Wheeler D-Mont
and Lundeen F-L-Minn but Senator
Norris D-Nebr declared such a step
"would be useless"
Wheeler and Lundeen foes of the
administration neutrality bill told re-
porters that the present was an op-
portune time for Mr Roosevelt to
make a peace bid They argued that
peace would be virtually impossible if
hostilities were intensified
Norris supporter of the adminis-
tration bill and the only present sen-
ator who cast a senate vote against
America's entry into the World war
said:
"Any fair Judge at a peace con-
ference would have to say to Hitler:
'Give Poland and Czechoslovakia
back their peoples' If Hitler were
sincere he would consider such a pro-
posal but I wouldn't take his word
for anything on earth and I don't
believe he would even think of it
"It would be fine for the president
to suggest peace on those terms if
Hitler would consider it but he
wouldn't and it would be a useless
step to ask bim to"
Wheeler leader of the successful
fight against the president's court
bill in 1937 took this position:
"Mr Hitler is saying that he wants
peace Mr Chamberlan and Mr
Daladier are saying that they want
peace It seems to me that the presi-
dent could very well say to Mr Hitler:
'If you want peace will you make
peace and at the conference table let
the question of Poland and Czecho-
slovakia be decided?'
"If the answer were affirmative he
could say to Mr Chamberlain and
Mr Daladier: 'Mr Hitler will consent
to a peace in which the integrity of
Poland and Czechoslovakia is to be
considered Will you consider a re-
vamping of the Versailles treaty?' "

On Shipping Is Eased
WASHINGTON Oct 19
Agreements to permit American ves-
sels to carry au i goods other than
armaments to some ports of bellig-
erents was reached today by a group
of Democrats on the foreign relations
committee
In general the amendments ap-
proved by the group would permit
shipping to those ports in the Pa-

Bengal and the Arabian sea Sur-
face vessels also could operate to
certain ports in the south Atlantic
provided they did not carry arma-
ments to belligerents
American aircraft could operate to
all ports in the western hemisphere
Chairman Pittman said that noth-

NEW YORK Oct 10-01—The
French and British government S are
ready to place additional orders for
5750 American-made war planes—
cash on the line—if and when con-
gress repeals the arms embargo
A French mission now in'Washing-
ton" is authorized to contrect for
2750 planes and a British mission
now in Canada for 3000 planes in
United States factories
With engines and accessories the
total cost would approximate $350000-
000
More than 1300 war planes were
contracted for with American plants
by the two countries prior to the
outbreak of the war Less than half
had been delivered 'hen the neutral- '
ity act went Into effect
Several neutral countries including
Belgium and Sweden are anxious to
obtain American warplanes Sweden
has a contract with one factory for
pursuit planes A Belgium mission is
enroute to the United States to dis-
cuss the purchase of aircraft'
Representatives of the French gov-
ernment want to but 3000 airplane
engines here though whether those
would be in addition to the fugines
fitted to the warplanes they hope to
buycould not be learned
Favoring the acquisition of up-to-date
warplanes by France and Great
Britain if the arnibargo is lifted was
a decision reached by a joint army
and navy board within the last week
that each export application would
be considered on its merits regardless
of the "age" of the type of aircraft
involved
Heretofore no type less than a
year old could be shipped All exports
of course are still contingent on de-
liveries of planes ordered by the
American armed services
The French are anxious to buy
three types of American planes—pur-
suits observation ships and two-englued
bombers The British want
reconnaissance planes single-engine
attack planes and two-engine medium-weight
bombers

member of the committee in charge
said today
He said there had been a number
of complaints by persons who ex
pressed surprise that "real perman
exit paving may be had so cheaply"
He said every person in the city
"at all interested is urged to visit
this job note its type of construe
tion ard see first hand how much
paving it is your's to obtain with
such a small amount of actual cost"
"We cannot refrain from again re
iterating if anyone in Pau Is Valley
ever expects to pave their street why
turn down this available project where
100 feet may be clone at a cost of
$60 to the property owner and later
pay through the commercial way
