Saturday he answered one of the most pertinent questions concerning Dana Bible's football team. The question was: "A good ball club, all right but can they go in the mud?" Petroff Jonathan and his coworkers had that proposition placed before them Saturday, and they wasted no time in replying.

The answer was: "Yes." The score was: Texas 34. Louisiana State 0. The star of the program vas the above-mentioned Mr. Layden, who carried the ball 10 times for 162 yards including two touchdowns. C'rain's Quarterbacking Tops The master of ceremonies was Cowboy Jack Crain who directed the team brilliantly on three scoring sprees.

Crain's strategy was perfect. He gave the ball to Layden nearly every time. A driving rain that waited until the field cover was off soaked Memorial stadium's turf, as well as the approximately 18.000 customers, and rendered the footing treacherous. Texas fans wondered (Continued on Page 13, Col. 8) a good gain.

Layden led the Longhorns in a devastating 34-0 triumph over the Louisiana State lads Saturday in the first home game for Dana X. Bible's boys.

He declared every nation has the inherent right of self defense in meeting attacks which he described as par', of an attempted conquest of the earth.

34 Survivors Rescue of 17 more of the American crew of the torpedoed ship I. C. White raised the number of survivors to 34 and reduced the missing to four. The freighter West Nilus and Delnorte, each with 17 of the C. White's company aboard, were expected to land them in Rio De Janeiro Tuesday.

The 7.053-ton ship went down in the South Atlantic off Brazil Sept. 27, but circumstances of the torpedoing were not disclosed. Instead, German dispatches dealt almost exclusively with the war against Russia. The nazis acknowledged strong Russian counterattacks both in the north and southern sectors, but said one in the Ukraine cost the red army 300 tanks and those in the Baltic area were repulsed. Counter-offensive German scouts reported the Rus sians were massing every bit of their remaining strength for counter offensive in the Ukraine.

The Germans were silent on the large scale operations which their high command said were in progress in Russia. The Russians, however, said a large Soviet force had been rescued from the shores of Lake Ladoga and brought into Leningrad in (Continued on Page 2, Col. 4) Myron Taylor Has Heavy Data Envoy Has Reports 'Of Utmost Value' NEW YORK, Oct. 4.

4. INS)-British Ambassador Lord Halifax, back in Washington after several weeks in England, expressed the belief Saturday that the continent of Europe must be invaded before a final victory can be achieved over nazi Germany. The British envoy said, however. that such an invasion could not be carried out successfully by Britain at the present time. Questioned by a press conference as to whether he deemed an American expeditionary force necessary to such an invasion, Lord Halifax said he had never heard the matter discussed by his government's authorities.

To lay- the groundwork for such a possible future cross-channel invasion, and to enable the RAF to give all possible aid to Russia, the ambassador called for "more and more" U.S. heavy bombers. "We attached the greatest importance to the producuon and delivery of heavy bombers from the United States for which we are extremely grateful," he said. "Only through air attack on Germany can Britain hope to create a situation in Germany which may be expected to bring the war to an end within a reasonable time. "But in the end we must invade the continent.

I have always felt that victory cannot be obtained until we can inflict military damage on the enemy on land as well as in the air."

DefenseSpending On Steady Rise Budget Bureau Hikes Figure to 18 Billion WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. (UP) Rapid acceleration of defense production and lend-lease aid to Britain Saturday prompted the budget bureau to raise its defense spending estimates to a record for this fiscal year. Four months ago Budget Dir.

Harold D. Smith estimated defense spending for the 1942 fiscal year which ends next June at At a press conference Saturday, however, he said the estimate must be increased by $135 Per Person The cost of defense this year will amount to about $135 for every person in the United States and approximately 18 per cent of the anticipated unprecedei.ted national income of $100,000,000,000.
