ThiStIethWaite Resigns as
Grid Coach at Badger
University.
b. United Press


MADISON, Wis, Dec. 29.-Five
years service as football coach of
the University of Wisconsin was
ended today for Glenn F. Thistle
thwaite.
Storm center of investigation and
removal demands, Thistlethwaite
submitted his resignation Monday
night and it was accepted along
with that of George Little, athletic
director. The Wisconsin coach
steadfastly had denied he would re-
sign even after submission of Lit
ties resignation Dec. Il.
Thistlethwaite said he submitted
his resignation ''in order to permit
complete freedom of action on the
part of the athletic council" in its
reorganization of athletics.
A committee of the state iegisla-
ture recently had been appointed to
investigate athletic affairs at the
university both with regard to
finances and personnel. The uni
versity athletic council also was con-
sidering the coaching situation.
Thistlethwaite said he planned to
continue coaching but would not
say whether he had received any
offers. He came here from North
western university in 1927, where
his team tied for the Big Ten title
in that year. He is a graduate of
Earlham college.

A Fictitious Issue

Among the many newspap- CTS which have pointed out the absurdity of the "power trust agitation by Senator Norris and others of socialistic lean ings is the Atlantic City Un- ion, which in a recent editor ial sized up the situation most concisely.
 After quoting an authorative statement to the effect that the electric bill of the house. hold users of electricity in the United States averages only eight and one-half cents a day-of which half of the GUS toners pay five cents and the other half pay 12 cents a day on an average-the Union says:
 In other words, ten million Americans receive all the ad- vantages of electric power for the price of a daily package of chewing gum, and ten mil lion receive it for less than the cost of a package of ordinary cigarettes.
 For this reason the battle over power might be said to be an absurdity. The country is perplexed by abundant im- portant problems - prohibi- ton, the tariff, foreign trade, unemployment, overproduc- tion, the rising cost of govern ment, and the like. Any of these problems is of vital in- terest to all citizens. They must be solved or social and economic chaos will result"
 Compared with the really important problems which the Union mentions, the question of electric rates must appeal to thoughtful citizens as being an insignificant, if not entirely fictitious issue. raised for po- litical purposes only.

 Senator Key Pittman and a number of other clear-brained thinkers and students of the 'ituation are entitled to all cIaise for having kept their wires from becoming crossed and for having steered pretty clear of the maze of entangle- ments that have been purpose iy or willfully strewn along he battle front; so that, as far at least as the silver issue is concerned-and its settlement affects the return trip to the worlds business normalcy- it's clarification seems to be gaining ground.
