AUGUSTA, Ga, April s.
Will Walter johnson do as a
big league manageri This is a
question of national import
ance as the 1929 American
League season nears.
A week from today the Washing
ton club in conjunction with seven
others, will open it's regular league
schedule with johnson at its helm.
Then, and then only can an au-
thoritative gauge be gotten on topic
under discussion.
Much attention will be Centered
on the Griffmen this season. Fans
who heretofore have accorded them
only casual notice will be watching
closely the managerial progress of
one of the most popular figures
ever produced by the national pas
time.
Right off the bat the Washington
club runs into touted opposition; the
Philadelphia Athletics opening the
season at the Clark Griffith stadium
with a three-game series.
Considered by many cham
piOnship faVOrite, the MauR ing
AS may at once call into play
Sir Walters qualities of leader
shin. Whether or not he Is
equal to his job probably will
depend on his clubs getaway.
With the New York Yankees and
Connie Mack's Elephants considered
Notably strong starters, it likely
will be necessary for the Griffmen
TO hop away from the barrier well
On stride. 1t may be remembered
that by mid.season OF 1928 these
two were SO far out in front of the
field that neither was at any time
threatened by the other six clubs.
Having expressed himself salts
fled with the prospects of his
combination, which has shown
much strength during spring ex-
hibitions, the rest seems up to
Walter. His success or failure now
rests in his own hands.
Conservatively it may be said
that he is steering one of the most
Improved teams in either big
league. His players are loyal and
hustling, his reserve strength
powerful and his club on the whole
is almost so per cent improved in
speed and punch.
The big problem facing Walter
seems to be this-can he handle
his players under pressure?
Conceding that his personal
magnetism will assure loyalty, can
he drive his men here. coax them
there. encourage the doubtful and
discourage overconfidence or con-
ceit?
These problems that confront
every big league manager find the

he sulking athlete who causes dis
aension among his mates and the
aaEy disposition that reacts only
Under the lash Of a ready tongue.
The point to be stressed is not
will Walter act under these cir
scumstances, but will be act quick
enough? With Newark last season
he was faced with a similar cir
cumstance and took disciplinary
measures only after his team was
counted out Of the international

NEW INDIAN OFFICE
POLICY ANNOUNCED
Wilbur Seeks Commissioner
Who viii Eliminate U. S.
Guardianship.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Wilbur is looking for
man for commissioner of Indian AFFAIRS
who will be so able in that position
he will work himself out of a job.
The new Interior Department head
believes that the solution of the Indian
problem is the elimination OF the
guardianship of the Government over
the Indian and the transformation OF
the native Americans from wards to
independent and Self-Sufficient citizens.
Such a solution of the Indian question,
as he sees it, neceSSitateS a new direc-
ton for the Indian Office and Stitf
course of hardening off" for the In
dian.
Secretary Wilbur does not believe that
the problem can be solved overnight,
bat ne does think that new program
cen be started at once. 1t is under
stood that he has the backing of Presi-
dent Hoover in declaring that this pro-
gram must be worked out before a COM
missioner for Indian affairs can be
selected.
Many Job Applicants.
There has been no lack of applicants
for the lob. More than 100 persons. all
of whom declared in one way or an
other that they knew the last word IN
administration of Indian affairs, have
applied for the position. Any number
of names have been submitted, both to
Secretary Wilbur and to President
Hoover. and Secretary Wilbur has con-
suited with many students of the Indian
in making up list of names which, 1t
is understood, has been sent to the
White House.
Secretary Wilbur, former president
of the American Medical Association
who sometimes talks in the homely
idiom of the family physician, has re-
marked that it lis time for the indian
to be weaned."
1T is dangerous for child to con-
tinue nursing too long" the Secretary
declared recently in talking about the
Indian problem. 1T is also just as
do is to hand it a pickle and let II
howl
The first step in the new Indian prob.
lem as it has been tentatively worked
out would be to establish In certain
sections of the country group OF en-
ployment agencies which would take the
Indian in hand as soon as he mas
finished school. Secretary Wilbur pc
lieyes that a trained and educated
Indian should be kept as far away from
an Indian reservation and its influences
as is possible.
Indians Shown Handy.
Those who have investigated Indian
tendencies and have been associated
with the education of Indians have re-
ported that the Indian is especially apt
with his hands, can be trained with
ease as an airplane or automobile me
chanic, and takes to handicraft work,
such as weaving and pottery molding,
like a duck takes to water. 1t is the
intention of Secretary Wilbur to see
that the Indian schools pay particular
attention to this type of training and
then have the employment agencies
place the trained Indian before the
employer of such labor.
1t is the belief of the Interior De-
partment that an Indian properly train
ed and then assisted in obtaining work
where this training can be utilized. will
no longer present any problem to the
Government.

which was companion bill to that of
Senator Henry Arens in the Senate,
which increased the indemnities for
graded cows form $50 to 500, or 40
per cent, and for a pure-bred COW the
indemnity was increased from $3.50 to
5000, or Is per cent increase. This
was, I believe, the best increase that
could be secured under the circum-
stances without jeopardizing the ul-
innate passage of the measure.
There should, in my opinion, be fur
ther increase in the maximum paid
for T. B. condemned high-grade cows,
which, in many instances, are as valu-
able to the owner as if pure-bred.

vided for, the proceeds to be derived
