Spokesman for this trigger-happy little group is General Kurt von Manteuffel, an excellent soldier who led the Ardennes break-through in December, 1944. He has been spending a lot of time with Dr. Adenauer, who apparently asked for the advice of the Brotherhood on possible rearming. The reason advanced by the unemployed officers is simple: Germany needs an army to hold off the Russians. Some top Allied military men--Marshal Montgomery and General Tassigny among them--have given tacit approval to this theory...
Last night's Tufts game was no exhibition of good hockey, largely because the men from Medford wouldn't have it that way. The Crimson scored most of its goals on easy break-through with the forwards beating the goalies on solo shots. Four of the Crimson scores were unassisted, while two more came on long passes from the defensemen to forwards...
What's a Signal? The Dow theorists could not agree. Chicago's Justin Barbour, who interprets the Dow theory for the Chicago Journal of Commerce, said the break-through did confirm a bear market. But in Manhattan, Thomas W. Phelps, of Francis I. Du Pont & Co., another leading Dow exponent, thought otherwise. The industrials and rails, said Phelps, would have to break their lows of last February (when the industrials were at 164.07 and the rails at 47.48) before a positive bear "signal" would be given. The New York Herald Tribune's financial editor, C. Norman Stabler...
...uprising it was Kirkland's game all the way. A quarterback sneak by French late in the first half, a pass in the third period from halfback Tom Lamb to left end Bob Snow, and another reverse around left end by Rogers produced the other three tallies. A break-through by Deacon guard Read brought a two-point safety, and the final point came on a run around end for the point after the third touchdown...
...Staraya Russa. The reason, boldly scribbled across the map of war: fear of being caught by the fast, steady Russian advance from the north. To the jubilant Russians this was a victory as great as the destruction of the Eighth German Army in the Ukraine (see below), as the break-through at Krivoi Rog. This week they looked forward to a still greater triumph: capture of Pskov, railroad gateway into the Baltic States. Of the three Red armies driving on the thousand-year-old stronghold, the closest stood only 28 miles away...
