HARD LUCK STREAK
HITS MILDLY CREW

BALTIMORE. Nd. May 1s.-Although
he has the biggest squad Of candidates
for the crew that has ever turned out
at the United States Naval Academy.
Coach Richard GIendou. VINO has the
hliddies IN hand. is not at all hopeful
Of producing a winning eight. this year.
His pessimistic view of the question
would seem TO have had some support
IN the race between the Navy crew and
Harvard on April =. for II must be adj
mitted that for a crew familiar with
the course the future admira-s made q
rather poor showing. II is certain that
the Navy eight is nowhere near the form
n had Al this time last season but
there have been many disappolntmenLs
for the oarsmen this year.

The decision was by Justice Harlan.

the company had the right TO dis

as much as Il was the elnploye right

there could be no doubt concerning IT,.
Congress could not, under the constl.
