WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 5 What all the shouting is about in congress is that everyone is so anxious for peace that they are fighting one another over the course to pursue which will insure peace. One group wants the pres ent neutrality act retained <ui it prohibits sale of arms, munitions and implements of war; the other group favors selling belligerents anything they want provided they pay cash and take the goods away j in other than American ships. The administration favors the latter, for convenience called "cash and carry." There is'nt a soul on earth who can guarantee that either plan can keep America out of war; good arguments can be pre- ' sented in support of either policy i An attempt is being made to discredit advocates of continuing the embargo by charging that those against repeal are inspired ; by propaganda from Hitler sources. There has been some propaganda from the German side Just as there is propaganda from the British, but individuals and groups who have been working in the cause of peace for years are against repeal. Just to keep the record straight, it can be said that old-fashioned anti-war groups are all demanding that the embargo on war materials be retained, but they may be wrong in believing the embargo will keep us in peace, and those who want to sell war supplies may be wrong. One side or the other will win (most probably the ad- ministration) but only the fu ture can tell whether the wiser course hux ix*en adopted. It I n a gamble either way. f 1 1 Regardless of the policy adopt ed, the lives, living conditions and poqketbooks of the 130,000,000 American people will be affected. Among other things touching the American people because of the war in Europe may be enumerat ed: More and higher taxes, in creased cost of food, clothing and (Continued on page B) CENTRAL POINT, ASHLAND TIE 0-0 Grants Pass Lions Are Guests And Entertainers Here ASHLAND High school's Grizzly Cubs second string outfit— Thursday night slogged their way to a 0-0 tie with Central Point High Pointers on a muddy Ash land field in a game brimming with blocked kicks, penalties, fum bles and unusually hard tackles by both teams Although getting the edge on breaks of the game—ex cept from the officials—the Cube of Ben Forsythe were unable to develop a scoring punch, although the half-time gun was welcomed by Central Point after an Ash land drive had placed the ball within scoring distance. Three times embryonic Grizzlies blocked Pointer kicks and took possession of the ball, themselves fumbling but one boot which was recovered by Weaver, who did an outstanding job of kicking out of trouble throughout the game The kickoff returns of Don Gettling also were outstanding. The first game of the season for the Cubs, the heavy outfit showed their opponents an almost impenetrable line, most Pointer gains coming on flanking plays. The Grizzly underlings will jour ney to Central Point for a return game soon, it was indicated last night. Starting lineup for Ashland in cluded the following players: C. Fowler, left end; Setchell, left tackle; R Fowler, left guard; Hawk, center: Beebe, right guard: Martin, right tackle: Jacoby, right end: Weaver, quarter: Johnson, fullback: E.
