several problems which will be
most difficult to solve.
Scores u. s. InactiOn
Speaking on the question OF
salary increases, which Federal
employees will not get, if the
present policy of theAdministra'
ton is followed out, Senator
Brookhart said:
Apparently the AdminiStra-
tion is enforcing the Wood
amendment, which failed at the
last session Of Congress. There
is nothing that can be done
about it at this time unless the
President calls an extra SeS-
sion.
"It appears that the Admin
StratiOn is not particularly con-
cerned over present economic
conditions throughout the c0un-
try. In addition to the Fed
eraI employees status, unemplOy-
ment and farm relief, the Ad-
ministratiOn has not moved in
the direction Of offering relief.
The longer that well-defined &C
tiOn is put off the more difficult
it will be to relieve conditions"
Senator Brookhart added that
he intends to carry his fight for
Federal workers, unemployment
mad farm relief to the floor of the
Senate when Congress conveneS
In regard to the pay bill, he said
he will offer a bill which will
make granting salary increases as
provided in the Welch bill manda-
tory.
"DOle" Being Paid
Commenting on the recent pro,
test Of the course Of Government
and the presidential objection to
doles," Senator Brookhart said:
"The people of this country
are already paying heavy dOles,
not to veterans and Federal
workers, not to farmers and the
unemployed, but to big business
interests.
Each year we pay out mil
lions in various forms to rail-
roads, banks, and various tar
riffs. 1 have a well-defined view

.MALLOY PRIMES
|. MT. ST. MARY'S

EMMITSBURG, Md, Oct. Is.
Coach Arthur Malloy is printing
his Mountaineer gridders for
their first State contest Of this
season, with Loyola College, to-
morrow afternoon at Baltimore.
While the game with Gettysburg
was a strenuous engagement,
only one or two players SUI
fered injuries serious enough to
prevent them from playing this
week, end the Greyhounds will
face the same formidable eleven
that rushed the Battlefield boys
off their feet during the greater
part Of the go minutes Of play.
Malloy has been concentrating
on forward pass defense in daily
practice, knowing that Tony
Comerford's proteges have built
an offense around the superb
Dellaire. It was evident last
Saturday that the Mountaineers
were weak in protecting them
selves against this mode of at
tack, for, on several occasions,
Gettysburg came dangerously
close to scoring by the aerial
route.
The Blue and White team
has made rapid progress in its
development during the past
fortnight and should be near
mid-seasOn form when the
whistle blows for the kickoff
against the Jesuits.
With the exception of Walt
Stuka, the Clinton (Mass.) boy,
who suffered an ankle injury
last week, and Tommy Coyle,
the promising fullback from Holy
Spirit High in Atlantic City,
forced out by an eye infection,
the lineup will remain the same.
