Whether Dutfon will be consider- ed when the time comes f0 select a permanent succcssoi- to Calder, re- mains to be seen. There are s. number of men who are worthy oil consideration m the post.

Among those whose names have been mentioned at various times are Patrick, Art Ross of Boston, Frank German of Montreal and Windsor‘; John Chick, president of the old International League and currently vice-president of the Am- erican Hockey league.

The new president of the Nation- al Hockey League ntay be any one of those aforementioned men and, again, it may not.

is chosen, if is to be honed that‘ the men who are entrusted with? the task of picking that man havel the foresight and common sense to‘ make sure that he assumes the‘ duties of his office with the auth.

authority which Calder should have. had and never did. |

Blame Hitler For Defeat A1 Stalingrad _

By GODFREY BLIYNDEN Assncialctl Press Staff Writer BTALTNGRAD, Feb. 8 —(AP)— Adolf Hlilcfs “lni.iii\i\'e“ military lcadr-rsfnp was directly responsible‘ 1'01" the failure oi the Gcrmzin 6th‘ army at Stalingrad and its subse-

quent annihilation.

That Ls the conclusion I draw af-l tier COXWPTSBHOHS with soviet gen- ernls who conducted the operations which resulted in the destruction‘ 0f the 6th army. ‘

‘The conclusion is supported by the demeanor and remarks mtldﬁ by ll of the 24 enemy generals captured by the Russians whom Soviet nulhorities mrmltted me to‘ see in the presence of their staff: officers. I

All the evidence, in my opinion,_ points to the fact that Hitler in-; gisfcd on continuing the batilelongi utter the msitinn was militarily‘ untenable from the German view-l point and probably azainst the ad-l vice of his higher officers. ,

Hitler also insisted. through. Field Marshal Friedrich Von Paul-| us, Commander of the 6th army‘; that there be no surrender. even; after the situation was hopeless, and thLs lcd fn dlsmzrcemonf. a- mong German officers.

16- ear-old Joo Henmsse , handing the ribbons on Dale ., sent the smooth going pacer away on high as they took the word for the second heat. Feet from the wirs it. looked as if the youngster w-as going to take the heat but again Walt N‘ See carm on to nip him at the wire.
