In Next Game
El Reno Indians
Are Traveling To
Cliieknsha Friday
Boomer conference football com-
petition will get underway ii\
earnest Friday night with four of
the five teams making bids for
the district 2A flag.
First of the conference games
was last Friday with Putnam City
giving the defending district
champion Chickasha Chicks an
V 18-l» lacing.
' This week the Chicks will enter-
tain the El Reno Indians while
1 Putnam City will travel to Law-
1 ton. Both are conference games,
f Duncan, the other member of the
league, will continue its non-con-
' fcrencc play by Journeying to Al-
i tus.
Putnam City, remembering de-
feats at the hands of all of Its
I conference pals last year. Is out
to get as much revenge us possi-
ble. Two early season non-league
beatings from Enid and Midwest
City made the victory over Chlck-
asha that much sweeter.
The Pirates will be out to dump
the Lawton Wolverines who have
two victories and two defeats this
season.
Other Scores Compared
Lawton walloped Marlow 44-0 In
the opener and last week swamped
Anadarko 45-6. In between those
1. two contests they lost to Classen
20-0 and to Hollis 18-13.
The El Reno-Chickasha game
should be one for the books. In
the opening game of the season,
the Chicks and Pauls Valley
battled to a scoreless tic. A week
later they downed Marlow 19-0.
Then they lost to Putnam City.
The El Reno Indians have one
victory, two lasses and one tic on
their scoreboard this season.
Ignoring the fact they are hop-
ing to take the district title this
year, the Indians remember a 20-
19 loss to the Chicks last year.
Coach Jenks Simmons has pre-
pared his lads well during the past
week and, with the exception of
Halfback Paul Marschewski, all
are in fine shape. Marschewski re-
ceived an injured shoulder in last
week's 13-13 fracas with Northeast
and will be on the bench this
week.
Tough Game Expected
The fact that the Chicks were
beaten 18-0 by the Pirates does
not mean they will be an easy
mark for the Indians Friday night.
Their ground attack may not be
equal to the Indians' but statistics
of last week's game indicate the
Chick-Pirate fracas was one of
the air rather than the ground.
Putnam City tried 17 passes in
the game, completing six of them
for net gains of 107 yards. Two
of the passes were good for touch- j
downs.
On their side of the ledger the
Chicks tried 22 passes, completing
nine for a net yardage of 108
yards. Four of the Chick passes
were intercepted by the Pirates
lor a net yardage of 146.

pride of the late millionaire oil-

states flocked here yesterday to
sec for the last time the well
known "Wentz hobby horse herd.”
Sale of the little horses, al-
though it brought a record price
of $66,605 for 81 ponies, was a
sad event for Wentz's relatives and
friends.
The Oklahoma Republican lead-
er spent 20 years in raising the
herd. He sold none of them, unless
they failed to measure up to his
high standards. *
Named tor Friends

Two Are Killed
In Texas Storm
Property Damage Is
Placed at $8,000,000
HOUSTON. Tex., Oct. 5—(U.R)—
The Texas hurricane took a toll
of two lives and wrecked $8,000,000
worth of property and crops, of-
ficials said today.
The dead were Mrs. Alpha Her-
bert of Port Neches, Tex., who
grabbed a dangling "live" wire in
trying to break a fall, and Jimmie
Simpson. 21. Palacios. Tex., who
apparently drowned while trying to
swim from a stalled cabin cruiser
in Matagorda bay.
Rice Fields Damaged
Widespread damage was reported
in the 75.000 acres of low-lying rice
fields from the heavy rains accom-
panying the storm when it roared
off the Gulf of Mexico early yes-’
terday. Texas prison system farms,
which raise cotton, corn and hogari,
suffered a *800.000 loss,
j Damage was most severe in
Freeport, the first coastal city hit
I by the whirling storm. Authorities
said it would cost *150.000 to repair
homes, utility poles and signs
buffeted by the high winds.
Oalveston, located on an island,
was cut off from the mainland
during the storm's height and high
tides sent water over its famed
seawall. But service into Galveston
was halted until further notice and
schools were closed while damage
estimates were compiled.
Houston Has Slight Damage
Houston residents, prepared for a
full-fledged blow, escaped with a
lew felled trees, downed power
lines and shattered panes of plate

Steel Exports
May Be Curbed
By Government
Dwindling Inventories
Threaten Idleness
In Many Industries
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
The government is considering
clamping down on the export of
steel In the face of dwindling in-
ventories which threaten Idleness
to hundreds of thousands In
American Industries.
Many companies are taking
precautionary steps of their own
as the nationwide steel strike goes
into Its fifth day.
Westtnghousc Electric corpora-
tion put a rationing system Into
effect today on many appliances.
There's no sign of peace in the
steel strike.
And the picture remains almost
as dark in the coal walkout.
893.000 Idled
The double-barreled attack on
America's economy has idled 513,-
000 steel workers and 380,000
United Mine Workers.
There are no negotiating ses-
sions In sight in the steel strike.
The government Is keeping hands
off for the present.
That doesn't mean the govern-
ment isn't concerned. Secretary of
Commerce Charles Sawyer says
he's considering imposing export
controls on steel. That would keep
more steel in America, prolonging
employment in many industries in
case the strike isn't ended soon.
Repercussions of the steel walk-
out are coming from Detroit. For
the most part, auto companies
have enough steel on hand to
make autos for a month. However,
8.000 employes of Packard Motor
Car company will be idled tomor-
row and Friday. Packard wants to
survey the si'uation and adjust its
working schedule to the supply of
steel on hand.
Coal Supply Adequate
There's not a great deal of
worrying over the lack of coal al-
though the UMW walkout of soft
coal miners is now in its 17th
day. There's still enough coal
above ground to keep most of in-
dustry humming at least another
month.

Communists In
East Germany
Speed Efforts
Another Russian
Satellite State
Being Projected
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Communists In eastern Germany
speeded their efforts today to form
a new Russian satellite republic
to rlvnl the west German govern-
ment sponsored by the United
States, Britain and France.
Tile Communists admitted that
fear of an anti-Soviet Titolst
heresy that might split their own
ranks goaded them on.
Berlin will be the capital of the
new republic which Is due to be
proclaimed next Friday. The gov-
ernment may be installed next
week. There will be no elections.
The administration will grow out
of the Communist-ruled German
people's council. For waiving elec-
tion demands, non-Communists
were reportedly promised less than
a third of the ministries.
Appointees Endorsed
The Soviet occupation author-
ities. it is believed, have already
endorsed Communist appointees as
ministers of interior, economics,
and propaganda, the key posts in
any government.
Official and unofficial reports
indicated the new government,
claiming jurisdiction over all Ger-
many's 66.000,000 people, would be
formed Friday by proclamation of
the Soviet zone people's council
Taoglicho Rundschau, official
newspaper of the Soviet military
administration, said the new state
"will be a government which will
not bo hampered in Its activity by
regulations in an occupation
statute of unlimited duration."
Tito Standing Firm
Premier Marshal Tito of Yugo-
slavia Indicated he has little fear
of pro-Soviet sympathizers with-
in his borders. Tito opened the
Jail doors for 713 former Moscow
supporters.
French Premier Henri Quetlle,
who has served a longer term than
any postwar French premier, is
about to resign, a cabinet spokes-
man said today.
"The Uttle compromiser" of
French politics faced a serious
cabinet spilt caused by the de-
valuation of the franc. Socialists
are demanding a general wage
rise while conservatives, fearing
runaway inflation, want a con-
tinued wage-freeze.
Critical Battle Waged
Canton dispatches said a critical
battle is being waged between
Communists and nationalists for
the key city of Kukong. Loss of

United Drys Report Only
'Some Things Are Cooking1
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 5—
(U.R>—The United Drys remained
secretive today about their meet-
ing yesterday, and the only clue
they gave to the proceeding was
that "some things are cooking."
Whether they mean they’re
setting a fire under the boot-
leggers and the beer Industry,
they didn't say. But that incen-
diarism undoubtedly is what they
have in mind.
Rev. Roy S. Hollomon. execu-
tive secretary of the United Drys,
said he couldn't tell what hap-
pened—there Is so much yet to
be done.
“But some things arc cooking.”
he confided.
The meeting yesterday brought
together most of the board of

managers who led the dry victory
In the Sept. 27 repeal election.
Dave Shapard attorney for the
drys said the discussion centered
around three subjects — enforce-
ment of the prohibition laws, the
antl-3.2 beer campaign, and edu-
cation of the public.
"A definite and complete policy
program Is being developed," he
promised. "The full story will be
released later.”
Speculation has been that the
drys will ask the legislature for
stricter prohibition laws and will
circulate a petition to outlaw 3.2

Freddie Joseph Phillips and El-

on June 20 the two men sneaked

outs and Reynolds, the Yankee
righthander, had nine.
The record was 22 and the Indi-
vidual mark was only 13, held by
Howard Ehmke since his surprise
opening start for the Philadelphia
A's against Chicago in 1929.
Few series games in recent times
were better played than this
thriller in which Reynolds, who
had pitched only four complete
games In 31 starts this season
blanked the National league champs
on two hits.
Newcombe allowed only five hits
but he made the mistake of giving
up the big one to Henrich.
Battle Is Tight
Just as In last year's opening
game when Johnny Sain beat
Bobby Feller in the 1-0 opener of
the Boston Braves-Cleveland In-
dians series, this was another tight-
to-the-vest battle.
The statistics revealed that Reyn-
olds threw 123 pitches during the
humid afternoon, 46 of which were
balls. He went to 3-2 on nine
hitters. On the other hand. New-
combe threw only 114 times, 37
balls and no 3-2 counts.
Thus the gallant Yankees who
roared back to cop the pennant on
the last day of the season with
an exciting triumph over the Bos-
ton Red Sox, have drawn first
blood in this best-of-seven classic.
In addition to throwing this bril-
liant game, Reynolds came through
with a double and single. The
other hits off Newcombe were a
single by Johnny Llndell in the
second inning and an eight Inning
double by Jerry Coleman and
Henrich’s homer.

tions on as much as 55 percent of
their total purchases from the 13
other countries participating in
the European recovery program.
"This is a practical move to-
wards creating within western
Europe the same sort of free in-
tercourse that has proven so fruit-,
ful among the 48 states in our own
country," the foreign aid chieftain
asserted.
Hoffman's statements were made
In a speech prepared for delivery
before tire American Federation of
Labor convention.
He did not list specific com-
modities or goods on which the
Marshall plan's "Big Three" coun-
tries were dropping restrictions.
Nor did he say when the action
will become effective. Hoffman
said only that “Italy, Great Bri-
tain and France are lifting quan-
titative restrictions and import
quotas from as much as 55 per-
cent of their total imports from
other Marshal! plan countries."
