PADDOCK GETS
ANOTHER RISE
FROM A. A. U.

NEW YORK. Aug. Is. U.R)-The
amateur athletic union is again up
in arms against Charlie Paddock,
famous sprinter who has passed his
prime in running togs but is still
expert at arousing the ire of the
A. A. L.
Paddock started the latest con.
troversy by writing an article en-
titled "No Son Of Mine,' in the
current issue of weekly magazine.
In the article Paddock alleged that
the A. Al L. attempted to keep him
off the Olympic team last year,
while at the same time using him as
a gate attraction to swell the funds
of the American Olympic commit,
tee.
In replying to Paddock s article,
President Avery Brundage said lit
was so grossly unfair and contained
so many inaccuracies and misstate-
ments that he felt it should not be
allowed to pass unnoticed by \. A.
L. officials
President Brundage said in his
letter that practically every men,
Der of the track and field selection
committee of the A. A. IT,, meeting
last July to recommend the makeup
of the American team, felt that
Paddock had repeatedly capitalized
his athletic fame and had therefore
forfeited his amateur standing.

President Schiavone is one of the

big corporations are behind the

Let us candidly examine the re-

ingly, corporate employees would
seek higher money wages, which
might begin to encroach upon
profit margins. For short time
periods, a radical vertical rise in
all foodstuffs would tend to upset
the balance of purchasing power
in town and country, which until
recently, in it's true, unduly favored
the city worker as opposed to the
farm worker.
But big business. in viewing the
farm problem, from the stand

is especially concerned with the
purchasing power of farmers
