A New Departure.
Manchester Weekly Guardian.

Manchester Weekly Guardan.)
 Sir Isaac Isaacs is the first Australian to be Governor General of Australia, and his appoint ment marks a phase in the relations between the United Kingdom and the Dominons. Whereas former Governors General have been appointed by the King the advice of the British Government, Sir Isaac Isaacs is the nominee of MT. Sculn, the Australian Premier. When his name was first put forward, than six months ago, it was at realized that the departure natural enough in view of the terms of the report of the Imperial Conference of 1926 The declaration of equal status between the Governments of the Dominons and that of the United Kingdom made it impossible for Governor General again to be in any sense the representative of the British Government. MT Scullin is the head of of his Majesty's Gov ernments just MT. Macdonald is head of other, and the Governor General is the personal representative of the King in Australia, charged with the duty of performing all those functions in Australia which the King performs in this country This declaration of principle laid down in 1926 has been translated into constitutional ma chinery by the Imperial Conference of 1930; the appointment of Governors General lies solely between the King and the Dominion Governments with the understanding that the British Govern ment is interested party whose views likely to be taken into consideration. Sir Isaac Isaacs has had a distinguished career as lawyer and politician in Australia, and has only recently been created Chief Justice. His appointment marks the severance of yet another formal link in Empire unity, which every day depends and more on sentiment and mutual advantage and less and less constitutional machinery.

Congress and a Dole.
(NeW York World ]


 As means of breaking the deadlock over plans for unemployment relief Representative Robert L Bacon of New York has proposed that Congress advance $50000000 to the Red Cross for distribution of food and clothing This appropriation would be substituted for the $30000000 which the Democrats in Congress wish to appropriate for the distribution of food by the Government.
 By comparison with the Democratic plan, Rep resentatve Bacons proposal has at least two dis tinct advantages. It would place the expenditure of relief funds in the hands of a non-politca organi- zation equipped by experience to spend funds wise ly. It would also lessen the risk that action taken in the present emergency would become a precedent for similar action in normal times. Use of the Red Cross the medium for distribution would in itself identify the proposed appropriation of $50 100000 as an emergency measure.
 The important question, it seems to us, is whether the Red Cross has is certain that it will shortly have. sufficient funds from private sources to able it to relieve distress. If it has these funds then it would be a mistake for the Government to experiment with dole in the modified form proposed by Representative Bacon. The Gov ernment in this should limit it's efforts to the stimulation of productive enterprises which will create new opportunities for work
 On the other hand, seriously pro- pose to permit people to suffer from cold and hunger if funds from private sources made quate to relieve distress. In this case, dole no dole, precedent or precedent, the Government itself must act The important thing is to find out immediately and authoritativey whether private agencies like the Red Cross equipped to relieve such distress may occur during the present winter and to let the to this question de- terrnine the policy of Congress.

U. S. BIOLOGIST FINDS WEST STILL
 WOOLLY.

East is still East and West is still "wooly." As proof of this contention R. Scott Zimmerman, leader of rodent control work in Utah, reports a few "woolly" incidents to his chief in the Bureau of Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 "A farmer of Roy Utah. interested in learning the whereabouts of stray stock srolled through his apple orchard' writes MT Zimmerman. "As he passed beneath overhanging branch some thing soft and brushed his swarthy cheek. Investigating his eye met the green-eyed glare of a mountain lion quietly resting a limb, while it's tail twitchng nervously, brushed backward and forward. The lion was taken into custody
 During the week rural citizen of North Ogden, Utah, while going to the pasture to milk, met mountain lion face to face he turned down the lane. He dropped his milk pails and fled for help The lion fled too
 "A poultry farmer of Utah was herding his flock of turkeys over the hillside Though hard pressed, the flock refused to be driven past certain spot. Examination revealed two extra large rattlers, coil ed attention. forked stick and two quart jars pressed into service, for a reptile with II rattles and the other holding safely it's com panion with l9 rattles
 August of this summer brought an unusual yet extremely interesting guest to of Salt Lakes finest hotels Shortly after dark a porcupine in ed thoroughfares and entered the revolving doors of the Hotel Utah This stuck-up' gentleman of the tail pines evidently seeking diversion"
 Yes, MT Nature Lover East is still East and West is still wooly, says MT. Zimmerman.

RADIO COMMISSIONS ACTION
 REGRETTED.

Regret will be general in this part of Alaska that the Federal Radio Commission fit to deny the application of KOMO Seattle broadcastng sta tion for increase of its power from 1000 to l5000 watts. It is operated by responsible busi- interests financially able to install the larger project and to maintain it after installation There fore, there should have been no hestancy on that score
 The need so far as Alaska Northern British Columbia and Yukon Territory concerned, is well established Continuity of radio reception here is highly desirable, and it is impossible to attain under existing conditions Under favorable con- ditions reception is good but at times it is entirely lacking. It is popularly believed, whether not wel-founded scientifically, that these blank spots would be eliminated if a high powered broadcaster in operation at Seattle or some other conven- tent Northwest center. KOMO, with it's participa- tion in a national hookup seemed an ideal station for this installation. It is welcome that the operating company will take it's application to the Federal courts and Alaskans sincerely hope it's ef- forts to overturn the Commissions decision will be successful.

BUSH'S VIEWS SOUND.

Irving Bush, authority shipping and of the leading business men of the nation, vice-presi dent of the New York State Chamber of Commerce, it's lowest peak is not merely mouthing optimism. number of encouraging signs have been noted in recent weeks which support his contention which is in accord with the views of other prominent business and industrial leaders of the country.
 Opinion is strengthening enter the new year that business depression has almost if not entirely spent it's strength and that this year will witness measure of recovery. True under the nature of such convalescences, it will be slow and the return of prosperity will be gradual But after more than l8 months of drastic readjustment, more than the circumstances warranted, involving greatly reduced manufacturing activities heavy de- flation of stock and commodity values widespread depletion of inventories, and building up of short ages none but confirmed pessmist could main tain that better day will not shortly dawn.
 The stock market longer sets low records, operations appear to have hit the bottom; for more than two weeks consecutvely loadings have improved few motor manufacturers have stepped up production; railroads ordering equipment confidently steel prices holding their advances; and retail sales are in fairly good volume.
 The most needed asset now is wholesome psychological attitude the part of the general public The country a whole to be begged town by a depression complex and its multitude of attendant fears, not the least among which is the fear of spending. The sooner this spectre is

The White Mystery.
(Cincinnatl Enquirer)

Kent Cooper in the current American Maga- zine, estimates the solution of the Andree polar mystery as chief among the ten greatest events of the year, perhaps the greatest event of all time
 The appraisal will be favorably approved by a majority of the worlds readers, no doubt. Out of the whole silence of the North, by mere chance, the solution after the mystery had been locked in the ice of White Island for thirty-three years. Human annals contain nothing like it. A generation had followed the great adventurer into the beyond chance discovery led to the revela- tions of the gripping intensively tragic story of immortal endeavor. The whole world knows something of the daring and the perils and suf- ferings of the who a generation ago. sought the secrets of the North to find only heroic death at the base of a voiceless, rigid and algid cliff and a grave of seldom melting snow

John E. Ballaine former Seward promoter and railroad man, planes President Hoover for the con- tinued deficit from the operations of the Alaska Railroad. MI. Hoover has been accused of so many acts of commission and omission in recent months that little thing like a million dollar annual deficit on the Governments rail holdings in the Territory will not add to his worries.

REYNOLDS ASKS
$4,000

Carl Reynolds, promising White
Sox outfielder, is not with the
team at training camp because
he wants more money than Chi
cago is willing to pay for his
work in the outer gardens at
the Windy City.
From a mediocre player Reyn-
olds has risen to a place where
he is snapshotted and interviewed
wherever he goes.
The club started his baseball
career by paying him $4,000.
Just $4,000 was added to that
last year and for next seasons
work $1,5OO was handed to him.
He turned down the contract
and demanded $4,000. Reynolds
is something of a business man.
He knows that Lyons and Thomas
are getting more than $4,000
and he figures that as he is in
the game daily and can hit, he
ought to be worth $4,000.

GOLF WIDOW 8
DECREE WON

Mrs. Catherine T. Scott, 2013
New Hompshire Ave. N. W., "golf
widow" of Emmett w. Scott, local
real estate operator, today was
granted an interlocutory decree
of absolute divorce. Mrs. Scott
filed her suit two years ago,
naming a correspondent and as
serting that her husband was
meeting the other woman, al
though he professed to be play
ing golf.
Attorneys John w. Fihelly and
Raymond Neudecker represented
Mrs. Scott, who said that her sus-
picions become aroused when she
noted the startling increase in
mileage registered on her hus-
bands machine when he was sup
posed to be walking around the
golf course. He would leave
home early on Sunday morning,
his wife said, and although he
was ostensibly going to play golf,
when he would return, his
speedometer would register 10
miles for the course.
Regardless of the condition of
the weather. Mrs. Scott testified
that her husband would leave for
the golf course Immediately clad
and would return in the same
spotless attire, recounting to her
his proWess on the links. All the
time, his wife averred, he was
really meeting the correspondent
and taking her for long rides.

SAN ANTONIO.-While rumors
circulated that the long missing
holdout, Bill Terry, had been
traded, Manager McGraw came
forward today with the statement
he knew nothing about his first
baseman. He added:
Anyway, if he is traded it
won't be to the Cubs or Car
dinaIs. They are strong enough
now"
ST. PETERSBURG.-Earl Pen
mock, Yankee pitcher, said today
he thought the new ball would
favor veteran hitterS and curve
ball pitchers. He said the old
timers would have no trouble
connecting with the new ball and
predicted such hurlers as Earl
Whitehill and George Uhle, Of
Detroit, would work wonders
with it.
ST. PETERSBURG-There was
a feeling today Babe Herman
would sign with the Brooklyn
Robins soon. He sat in the grand
stand yesterday and watched the
Dodgers defeated by the Boston
Braves, 10 to 2. The beating
seemed to arouse the big sticker
and hope was maintained he
might forget the extra $1,000 he
has demanded and decorate a
contract.

natl Reds will journey over to

game with the Brooklyn Robins.
Benny Frey will probably start in
the box for the Reds.
Although still unsigned, Charles
Dresden was in uniform today,
and dame rumor has it that Hor-
ace Ford will be in camp by the
weekend.
The Washington times., 1931-03-10

At that time sport officials pre-.
.dicted that the injury would pos
sibly cut down the youthful ath-
lete's speed. He injured the same
leg when he was a boy. But wy
koff, who is in training here, de-
clared he had fully regained his
old form.
The noted sprinter revealed
that he anticipated a successful
season on the track this year, and
said he had high hopes of gain
ing a place on the track team
that will represent the United
States IN the 1882 Olympic
games. Wykoff has set his heart
on winning an Olympic cham,
pionship. He declared that he
expected to be at the peak of his
career in 1882.
Star at School
The young runner first at.
tracted attention as track star
at the Glendale High School. He
won several events for his school
by competing in the 100-yard and
220-yard races and in the relay
and broad jump events.
Several times he was clOcked
at 93-5 seconds for the 100
yard dash. Sport officials of
other schools were skeptical,
however, and believed the timing
was the result of inaccurate
clOcking.
More serious regard was given
Wykoff when in 1927 Glendale
High School won the California
State championship, largely
through Wykoff's victories. In
1928 his school won the South
ern California title.
The runners ability was not
fully appreciated until he en-
rolled at the University of South
ern California in 1880. Coach
Dean Cromwell, who developed
Charley Borah, Howard Drew and
Charley Parsons, recognized Wy
koff's Sprinting form and coached
him.
In his first race at University
Wykoff ran the 100-yard dash in
9 As seconds, and the 22O-yard
sprint in % seconds flat. His Gin
der path career was thus finally
launched. Other achievements
followed. Out of % races last
year he won 20. He tied for first
and took second in the other two.
Equalled World Mark
Six of the events were 220-yard
races. In one event he equalled
the worlds record for 100 meters
When the Southern Califor.
mia Trojans met Stanford, Wy
kOff suffered his only defeat,
from "Hec" Dyer, Stanford
sprinter.
Dyer got away to a better start
The Washington times., 1931-03-10

and beat Wykoff in the 100, in
9 S-5 seconds. However, Frank
tied with Dyer in the 200. They
crossed the line at 81 2-5 seconds,
At Fresno, Calf, Wykoff him
self tied the worlds record of
9 3-5. He led the field and aided
the Trojans to win the annual re-
lay championships.
At Chicago with the Trojans,
Wykoff defeated the fastest sprin.
ters in the country. 1t was there,
for the second time, that he
flashed his way along the track to
cover the 100 yards in 9 2-5 Sec
onds. This timing was finally ac-
cepted as the worlds record for
the 100-yard dash.
