Detroit the Dynamic exploded last night. It exploded with a roar that rumbled and reechoed far into the morning. Ostensibly, it celebrated the Tigers' winning; the world championship the first world championship in baseball brought to Detroit in 48 years. Actually, it celebrated more than that. The City poured forth its emotions in a spectacle unprecedented in all of Detroit's long history.

Half a million of its citizens, police estimated, laughed, cheered, struggled, elbowed, whistled and sang their way through pack-jammed streets. They threw streamers, blew horns, yelled greetings at friends and strangers, danced and Declaring lnol -ro 0 th League unanimously adopted a report which said Italy Xli "resorted to war in disregard of its covenants." The decision of the Council will be placed before the full Assembly of the League Wednesday. In ttmopia, ui all (ronts. A counter-attack on Aduwa was feared and some there were reports that the Ethiopians had retaken Aduwa. Emperor Haile Selassie prepared to lead an army of 120,000 to meet the invaders.

It sc-mcd probable that, the Italians would spend several days in back-tired automobile exhausts. It was an outburst of carnival spirit that gave the lie to the gloom-sayers of a few years ago who said that Detroit the Dynamic had become Detroit the Doomed. Police said the crowd was bigger than the Armistice Day crowd of 1918.

Even in that glorious moment no such crowds had choked Detroit streets; no such paralysis of transportation had ensued; no such heights of pandemonium had been reached. Detroit Tells the World It's Winner Detroit, through the baseball team that is the symbol and the incarnation of its fighting spirit, had won the baseball championship of the world, and the world was to know it. It was Detroit's salute to America. Detroit had the dynamite; Mickey Cochrane and his Tigers provided the spark.

There was little likelihood that this would be applied, except as a last resort. The whole issue now goes to the Assembly, which meets in "urgent" session Wednesday.

It celebrated because it was the city that had led the Nation back to recovery. It celebrated because it was the city that wouldn't stay licked; the city that couldn't be licked. It was Detroit the unconquerable, ready to tell the world when the moment arrived. The moment had arrived, and the world was told. "There's no doubt," Police Inspector William Maloney said, "that it's the biggest crowd in downtown Detroit in my memory." And, he added, he has a very long memory.

Wading through the drifts of confetti and streamers which snowed from office windows when the word was flashed that the Tigers had won, the thousands sluggishly flowed up and down the streets. They carried banners, bunting, Tiger trophies and pennants and yelled. They yelled with a gusto that shook windows. They just wanted to be together to see if everybody else felt as good about everything as they did. Downtown Traffic Lights Blink in Futility Dctroiters craved action but the motorists didn't get it.

Converging on downtown Detroit they tangled in the tightest traffic jam in the oldest traffic cop's memory. Traffic lights turned red and green, but that didn't mean a thing. When Woodward from Eliot St. to Jefferson is a solid line of cars, how can the solid line of cars in Grand River Ave. cross? Police couldn't answer that question either.

To slow the barely moving traffic more, pedestrians flowed around, through and over the cars. But the drivers of the cars didn't seem to worry. They were in the same carnival spirit. They just kept a heavy hand on the horn to augment the din. Besides, a snail may not get very far but he sees a lot in his travels.

And they came downtown to see the sights, and to let out their exuberance. But it wasn't the motorists only who had the spirit of Detroit. It was in the crowds that overflowed the sidewalks, too. They weren't happy they were in ecstasy. It was carnival and Mardi Gras.

It was charivari and riot. Halloween, New Year's Eve and All Shout Day. It was i that a co-ordinating committee consisting of representatives of the Assembly and the Council will be formed to draw up a plan of economic sanctions against Italy and to fix the date when they should apply. Baron Tompeo Aloisl. Italy's representative, entered the fullest reservations against the procedure nnd declared that he did not approve the conclusion of the report.

After the vote whereby the report of the Committee of Six was adopted, Dr. Ruiz Guinazu of Argentina, president of the Council, in alluding to sanctions, sternly reminded delegates that duties of the League states are clear and that they "rannot neglect them without a breach of their obligations." Council members voting for the report were Great Britain. Australia. Chile. Denmark.

Ecuador, Spain. France, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Turkey, Soviet Russia and Argentina. Action Doesn't Mean Wat The Council action does not mean that other League members must Cruiser of President Engages in a 'Battle' U. S. S.

But it doea et in motion their obligations under Article XVI to apply trade nnd financial sanctions against Italy if they agree that she in fact violated the Covenant. Italy fought hard to prevent the Committee of Six report from coming before the Council. Aloisl insisted at a private meeting of the Council that he needed more time to study it. Gerald Walker and Tommy Bridges were the exceptions among the Tigers Monday night. They both staved home.

The rest of the Tigers, with the tension gone, decided to join the tension: they disappeared, too. Mr. and Mrs. Bridges kept.e'ose to their apartment at 31-V) W. Chi-ca go while Gerald nnd Mrs.

Drum and bugle corps filtered into the downtown section but the beat of their drums was only an undertone in the din. Impromptu musicians made cymbals out of garbage can covers.

The Halloween stocks of noise makers were sold out. There even were some very sour renditions of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." One amplifier-equipped truck moved through the Greets blaring incessantly "Hold That Tiger!" They Know a Few Carnival Tricks Detroiters showed that they hadn't forgotten the tricks they learned from the Legion convention. They dropped paper sacks full of water out of windows onto the masses below, and laughed. They gathered up arrr.sful of confetti and streamers from the street and entwined the next passerby in it. Trouble? Well, the police had it.

The traffic cops were trying to undo the traffic lanes. The firemen were dashing out on false alarms and bonfires. The mounted police had to restrain the enthusiasm of the crowds pressing against the entrance of the Book-Cadillac Hotel for a glimpse of ball players, celebrities anybody.
