With memories of last years
great finish in the inter-high
series still lingering in their
minds, basketball candidates at
Central High School are stepping
on it. with plenty Of vim and
vigor these days at the Mount
Pleasant gymnasium.
Yesterday Coach Burt Coggins
took active charge of the prospec'
tive team for the first time since
the recent end of the football
season. ALI he could do was utter
a few words of hope.
30 Candidates on Hand
Thirty youngsters Of all sizes
and description cavorted around
in would-be basketball style. Cog,
gins only gave them the element
airy sort of drill in the idea of
getting an opening line on those
at hand, which few looked prom
Using at all, aud who was back
from laSC year CedLu.
Bill Burke, Gene Swift and
Frank Cumberland were found in
harness, ready and rarin' to go.
Burke and Swift were in uniform,
but Cumberland was not. Whitley
Is still favoring an injury to his
chest, received in the last football
game of the season for the Cen
trail eleven last week. He does
not plan to don basketball uni
form for a couple of weeks yet.
Around Burke. Swift and Cum
berland will the Mt. Pleasanters be
built this year. Burke is a for
ward. Swift a guard, while Cum
berland is a player at both posi-,
tons.
Must Find Center
Coggins will have to find cen
ter to fill the vacancy left open
by the absence of Downey Rice,
graduated player. A forward and
guard will have to be developed
also to take the places of Henry
Broadbent and Ed DeLisio, two
other regulars during 1930-31.
The Central mentor has several
promising men under his wing for
these positions in the persons of
Bryan and Wolfe, centers; Nau
and Sidell. guards, and Sachs, for
ward. Still. one or two may bob
ur better than these performers
in the army of candidates at
hand.
: To get in there and make the
other teams hustle to win, IS the
aim of Coggins and the Mt. Pleas

RADBURN, ". j., June 27.-It
was exactly two years ago that the

tor Age" Although no n dared

Physically. Radburn Is said TO be
as nearly ideal as modest prices
and expert planning could make
it. No child on his way TO school
or 10 the park has to cross a street.
Every front yard is a HANDICAPPED
park: the back doors face the
streets. Radburn mas more area IN

they carry only such traffic as is
absolutely necessary to the people
who live nea them.
Pedestrians have a separate sys-
tenn Of walks, with underpaSses
where they meet the highways.
The result Is greater speed and
relief to motorists. and safety for
those on foot. Each house has two
fronts. with a motor entrance and
a garden entrance.
Nobody knows how much II
costs 10 build a town under ordi-
nary conditions" said Charles s.
Ascher. Of the Radburn Associa-
tion. But considering interest.
taxes. improvements. building and
rebuilding. which go on without
any preconceived plan in the aver
age town. the cost must be enor-
nous. And so Is the waste.
Costs Accurately known

about the price OF Radburn. When
this property was bought in 1923.
about two square miles Of farm
land. 1t cost only s cents a square

such as streets and sewers. were
put In before a building was erect
ed.
But BY the time We we're ready
for building. the cost has risen
from s cents to IS cents a square
foot, and only SIS per cent Of the
area remained In salable land"
The average American city. ac-
cording TO Ascher. has IS per cent
Of its area in paving and sidewalks.
But only 26 per cent Of Radourn

fact that secondary n private

Thus there is plenty o. for

parking space for automobiles than
any other town Of its size.
Socially IL is unique. Radburn
makes capital OF its neighborliness
Some 80 recreational community
activities flourish here. Individual
residents have more voice in the
conduct OF civic affairs, Il IS said,
than they could enjoy under any
OF the ordinary forms Of municipal
government.
Practically II IS a decided suc-
cess. The entire project has been
planned and Is being built by City
Housing Corporation. a limited
dividend company which has pio-
neered in and about New York City
in problems Of community plan
ming. On the directors and ad-
visory boards are such names as
William Sloane Coffin, DR.. Felix
Adler. Norman Hapgood, Mrs.
Henry Moskowitz. Mrs. Franklin
y. Roosevelt. The technical staff
includes experts ranging from a
former chairman OF the New York
state Commission OF Housing and
Regional Planning 70 the president
Of the International Federation OF
Housing and Town Planning.
Limited Profit Plan
Although the development is a
commercial enterprise, at least to
the extent OF earning a fixed profit
Of 6 per cent, 1t has aided and
made available the results Of its
research to similar projects in
other cities.
Radourn Is located within COM
muting and motoring distance
from New York City, yet II has
been planned as a complete town
and not a mere suburban develop
ment. Schools. stores and bust
ness buildings have been complet-
ed or are being built so that resi-
dents may have all the facilities
and conveniences ordinarily asso-
ciated with a large city. OF its
1850 acres, $50 have been set aside
for an industrial district.
Called a town for the motor
age" 1t really offers escape from
that age. Here for the first time
a scientific effort has been made
to get down TO the fundamentals
OF the problems Of traffic and
safety. Instead OF following the
"checker-board" street system Of
the horse and buggy era. an alto
gether different plan has been
devised for Radburn's residential
sections.
Closed-end Streets
From wide, winding traffic ave.
nues. closed-end streets lead off al
intervals. A number OF these clos
ed-end streets. with houses group
ed about them, make up a block
many times the size OF the ordi-
nary city block. with traffic ave
nues as its boundaries and a parl
in its center. The closed-end
streets really are only driveways

A Poet and Bard.
(Cincinnati Enauirer.O )

| With the death of Vache Lindsay an extra ordlnary figure in American literature is gone
 Lindsay had distinctive theory of poetry followed
 it faithfully, sought unique subject matter and
 carved for himself a niche quite alone in the ranks of our poets
 Lindsays poems have been widely read in book
 form, but the greatest appreciation of his work has come through hearing him read them or better
 Saio chant them Nothing in literary history quite
 resembles the compelling effect of the gaunt figure rom Illinois, standing platform, chanting the monotonous yet fascinating rhythms of Congo" or the chinese Nightingale" Audiences that came to scoff found themselves joining in the chant of Daniel in the Lions Den' carried into the spirit of the narrative by persuasive, elemental rhythm Debates about the greatness of Vachel Lindsay will go in for many years among the cognoscenti
 But none will deny that here was distinguished figure ln poetry, who not only created unusual images of beauty and power but breathed into them la throbblng life unlike the classical dignity of historic poetry By essaying the role of troubadour
 ne was at once poet and bard, and put into his verse more life, more warmth than printed words alone convey.

A Disappointment

One of the great disappolntments of political history has come to John Tilson of Connecticut.
 Through 20 weary years of House service he plodded upward toward the shining goal of the Speaker ship. When Speaker Longworth died last spring, Tilson stood near CT the chair of power than any other man. The Republicans had a narrow majority, and he was the Republican leader.
 Then unexpectedly time turned the majority to the Democrats, and the Republican caucus transferred the reins of party leadership to Bertrand Shell of New York.
 The full story of the Tilson- Shell contest may never be published It is certain, however, that some who supported Shell felt Tilson had overdone the plodding tyne a little too pat in his relations with the White House.
 They thought they saw in Shell prospect of more virile and in- dependent leadership
 Tilson is a good soldier, and will go along. But some of his friends are wounded too deeply to forgive and forget overnight.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-12-29

He may be only Speaker of the House in all things official, but in things political John N. Garner now becomes in large degree the responsible leader of the Democra tic party.
 Sitting in a higher seat of power than any Democrat since Woodrow Wilson, he will guide the hand that writes a Democratic legislative plan of economic reconstruction-w must become in turn a party creed in 1892.
 Nor does his leadership lack in any sense the color of authority In the party caucus not a single voice was raised against him.
 He was eleveated to power by the unanimous act of all elements of a party which is quarreling openly over the titular leadership of John J. Raskob as chairman and Al Smith as the standard bearer of 1928.
 It is the hour of destiny for this peppery, straight-speaking Texan. He is face to face with opportunity and danger.
