TOO MANY BOARDS GOST
GOVERNMENT MILLIONS

The United States government is
losing millions of dbllars through
fsheer waste, because of overlapping
departments and government bur
eaus encroaching Upon private and
state rights, Secret hry of Commerce
Hoover told the United States Cham
Der of Commerce in a recent address
at Washington.
In recent years the government
has done much to slash federal eX-
penditures by the elimination of eX-
travagance and the cutting down of
personnel, Mr.. Hoover declared, but
for lack of Legislative authority the
administration fhad not been able to
reach what was even a greater
waste-overlabping of bureaus as
the result of Bad organization Of the
departments.E f Mr.. Hoover said that
all boards and commissions having
the same general purpose should be
under one general head, and that
the President should be relieved of
a great deal of the routine work he
now has to do.
Mr. Hoover pointed out that there
now We're 200 different bureaus,
boards and commissions, employing
several hundred thousand persons
in the executive establishment, and
more than forty independent estab-
lishmehts, either directly under the
President or Congress.
There are too many floating is
lands in this dismal swamp of indie
pendent agencies only technically
anchored to the President, but real
ly responsible to nobody" he con-
tiEued.
The shifting income tax policy
costs millions in necessitat1ng
whole new professions of tax law
yers, tax experts, tax accountants,
he said, land I marvel daily at the
kindly temper of our citizens under
these strains"
One of the greatest dangers in
this growth is the STEADY tide OF
federal encroachments into state au-
thOrity-and beyond this steady
thrust of the arms of federal gov
ernment into our private business" ,"
Hoover added.

The Babe crammed his way into

and defeated an opponent at hand

Then a blow fell upon Ruth, for
there came an announcement from

the warm baths and green golf links
of Hot Springs were not for the Babe
this season unless he wanted to pay
his way. For several years Ruth

MellO Knocks Out
Shevlin in Eighth

Boston, Dec. 1S.-(AP)-Al Mello
of Lowell won from Eddie Shevlin of
Roxbury by technical knockout in
the eighth round of a ten round bout
here tonight. Shevlin weighed LAG
and Mello 147.
1t was Mello'S fight from the
start. In the opening round he car
ried the battle to Shevlin, landing
a shower of blows. The second
round saw Shevlin go to the mat for
a short count. When he got up Mel
10 battered him from one side of the
ring to the other and only the gen.
eralship of the Roxbury boxer saved
him from knockout.
From the third to the fifth rounds
Mello used a left hook effectively but
Shevlin was wary and covered up
against a finishing punch. Both
fighters slowed up in the sixth and
seventh rounds, but in the eighth a
left hook to the jaw sent Shevlin
to the canvas for the count of nine
He gamely struggled to his feet to
renew the battle, but the referee
stopped the match and awarded the
decision to Mello.
In the eight round semi final

Marty Cortez of Lynn. frankie Quill

COLLINS FAV0RS
RETURN TO old
|DAYS'BASEBALL

New York, Dec. 1S.-(AP)-Eddie
Collins, manager of the Chicago
White Sox and a graduate of CO.
lumbia University. has described a
situation in baseball that parallels
one element of college football which
has drawn condemnation in many
quarters this fall.
Collins, addressing a gathering in
Philadelphia yesterday declared that
too much attention is being paid to
individual brilliancy in baseball and
that he favors a return to the old
days when the crowd ieered the Wis
iting team and sometimes went fur
Their in it's partisanship. He argued
that the game appears8to be losing
its original spirit to the Modern
tendency towards hippodroming.

man with a swinging left. The cham
