WEST POINT HEAD
WOULDOPEN DOORS
Colonel TownsIey Favors Tests
for All Boys. Changing the
Appointment Plan.

Competitive examinations open to the
youth of the nation for entrance ito
West Point is the plan favored by Col
onel Townsley, superintendent OF that
institution, in his annual report. He
would abolish the present system by
which young men are designated for
appointment by members of Congress,
subject only to their ability to pass the
entrance examination.
Colonel Townsley in his report takes
strong stand against the proposal OF
lessening the severity of the entrance
examination, as has been suggested on
the floor of Congress. He declares that
s1ere has been steady increase in the
number of applicants who pass and OF
the number of cadets who graduate
from the institution. He adds that he
would fill the Academy to its capacity
for few years, and Increase the num-
Der of army officers with West Point
training. He asserted that at present
only "a per cent ot the army officers
are West Pointers.
Colonel Townsley takes a strong stand
against football IN his report, declaring
that IS per cent of the cadets treated
by surgeons last year received their

from cadet participation in the game.

RECESS PROPOSAL
LIKELY TO FAIL
Senators. However. Plan for
Three-Day Adjournment Un-
til November 10.

Efforts of Senator Hoke Smith and
some of the other Democratic lead
ers to get n recess of Congress until
about November 15 probably will fail.
Senators said today they saw no real
likelihood of a recess. President VIII
son wants Congress to remain in ses-
sion, with the view to furthering cur
rency legislation and, while a large
number of Democratic Senators, as
well as Republicans, would like to
recess. the indications today are that
the same object will be realized in
another fashion.
An agreement of an informal sort
to transact no business and to ad-
journ for three day periods until
about November 10. Is being discuss
ed and will probably be arranged.
This will enable Senators who are not
on the Banking and Currency Com
mittee to go to their homes to rest.
1t is generally conceded now that
no report from the committee need
be expected before November 10 and
perhaps later.

shipment of campaign funds from one

Other cases to be argued include the
Lexington milling case involving the
legality of bleaching flour by the Alsop
process; the case Of the Eastern Lum-
Der Dealers Association and the oil
pipe line case in which the Government
seeks to makethe pipe lines conform TO
