Washington, Jan. 1 The fu

striving for was not mentioned
publicly by Messrs. Roosevelt
and Churchill.

Yet this New
Tear eve (as all thinking citizens
will) the principal officials have
naturally let their thoughts drift
to what will come after victory.
A United States of Europe or
loose federation of European
states Is what most foresee as
the main prospect. Either would
no doubt be accomplished under
the guiding hand of Britain and
Russia, but with the knowledge
that the United States of Amer
ica, with all its facilities and
resources, is bound to be the
greatest producing nation in
peacetime history.
Such a union or federation
should find encouragement in a
decline of nationalism and a
postwar revulsion against it.
Hitler's plan to save Europe by
conquest has already failed. His
conquered nations are not pro
ducing either for him or for
themselves. He cannot get them
to produce his way.
It is obvious, too, that this
future union or federation must
be founded upon the capitalistic
and gold systems fundamentally,
If it is to deal in a world in
which .the United States and
Britain are formidable Influ
ences. It will have to be provid
ed free access to raw materials
and freer trade. It must furnish
more convincing guarantees of
peace and disarmament.

THRILLING CLASH
58-000 See Transplanted
Contest Fast Scoring
Features Third Quarter.
Durham, N. C, Jan. 1. (IF)
An underdog eleven from Ore
gon State whipped Duke 20-16
in the transplanted Rose Bowl
game today, in a pulse-pounding
battle that was anybody's ball
game all the way. A capacity
crowd of 58,000 saw the contest.
The Beavers scored first In
the opening period, but Duke
tied the count at 7-7 in the sec
ond. Then came a wild and wool
ly third quarter, in which the
westerners scored two touch
downs and the Blue Devils one.
The best Duke could do in the
final period was a safety.
Duke won the toss and elected
to receive. Tom Davis took the
boot on his six, but fumbled it
on the 29, and George Peters
covered for the westerners. Us
ing their famed running passes.
with Bob Dethman doing the
pitching, Oregon State drove to
a first down on Duke's 17. but
the Blue Devils dug in and took
over on their 14.
Davis smacked out of first
down to the Duke 29, but this
time Oregon dug in, and Steve
Lach punted to the visitors' 29.
Dethman and Joe Day punched
out a first down to their 44.
But neither team could gain con
sistently, and a punt exchange
followed.
Don Durdan put the Blue
Devils in a hole with a beauti
ful 58-yard kick which went out
on the one-yard line. But Lach
booted out to the Beavers' 49.
From that point, with Day, Deth
man and Durdan picking up
yardage consistently in small
slices, the Beavers drove to
Duke's 15. Then Durdan, faking
one of his left-handed passes,
went off-tackle almost un
touched for a touchdown. War
ren Simas' kick was good, and
Oregon State led, 7-0, at the end
of the first period.
Second period:
The Beavers threatened again
early In the second period when
Durdan got off on a 12 yard run
to Duke's 27. But the Blue
Devils held, and then suddenly
came to life offensively. Davis
got 23 yards over guard to the
Beavers' 39 and Lach picked up
22 on a reverse. Winston Sieg
fried and Davis pounded to the
four-yard line
Lach, on a reverse, went those
four yards over right tackle for
a touchdown, and Bob Gantt's
placement knotted the count at
7-7.
Third period:
Duke forged Into Beaver ter
ritory when Lach, faking a kick,
ran 21 to the Oregon State 44.
A pass from Davis to Gantt
gained 15 more, but the threat
ended when Jim Smith lost 11
on an end-around and Davis lost
seven more trying to pass.
A 42-yard pass from Dethman
to Durdan, which advanced the
ball to Duke's 27, put the Beav
ers in a spot to threaten. Day
picked up 11 more, but three
plays netted only a yard, and
Simas entered the game to try
a field goal from the 15. The
kick was short and wide.
After Lach kicked out, Gene
Gray skirted left end for 23
yards to Duke's 31. From this
point, Dethman shot a beautiful
pass to George Zellick, who
grabbed it just before he stepped
into the end zone for the Beav
ers' second touchdown. Simas'
kick was good. Leo Long ran
the kickoff back to Duke's 36.
and on the next play Lach went
over his own left tackle on a
reverse, cut back to the right
and galloped 39 yards to Ore
gon's 25 before Day, the last
Oregon safety man, caught him.
Two plays later, Lach reversed
to the 16, and the Beavers Vf re
penalized for unnecessary rough
ness on the play to their one
yard line. Siegfried went through
the middle for a Duke touch
down, and Prothro tied the
count at 14-14 with a perfect
placement.
Durdan rn the kickoff out to
the 23. On the next play. Day
lost eight, but a roughing pen
alty was called against Duke.

President Roosevelt and Prime

ing sermon to his distinguished
visitors and his small regulai

allies shall win the war."
The prime minister returned
at 9 a. m., from a four-day visit
to Canada, where he confidently
declared that "deeds not words"
would in good time disclose the
specific objectives and results ol
