TN the Kansas Aggies-Missouri game
i Bo McMillan's team should have no
trouble taking Missouri. Missouri
was badly beaten by Texas last week
whether the tackles were in close
or out.
The Marquette-B Boston game brings
together two of the leading Catholic
schools in what should be very hard
fought contest. Marquette's offense has
not started to click as yet this year
and in its last two starts has only
scored safety. Marquette, however,
is q very strong defensive team, and
while I believe it probably had let
down following the Wisconsin game In

The defense in court of cases arising
under section 19 of the World War
veterans act, 1924, as amended, Is
now made in some cases by lawyers in
the Veterans Administration, in other
instances by United States ATTORNEYS
or their assistants, and in some cases
jointly by the United States attorneys
or their assistants and the lawyers of
the Veterans Administration. This
inevitably results in some confusion and
fails to place responsibility for the trial
of such cases in single organization.
The Department of Justice now has
the power and authority under law to
represent the United States Govern
ment in the courts and this Is one of
the major activities of the department.
The consolidation of the trial work.
which it is herein proposed to be trans
ferred from the Veterans Administra-
tion, with the trial work of the De-
partment of Justice will make possible
the more complete utilization of the
organization which has been set up by
the Department of Justice and will
center responsibility for the conduct
of such trial work in the Department
Of Justice.
Accordingly, it is proposed that the
defense in court of cases involving
litigation arising under section IL OF
the World War veterans act, 1924, as
amended, be transferred to the Depart
ment of Justice. However, the obtain
ing of facts, the interviewing of wit
neSses, the preparation of evidence and
the procuring of all material which
the Government needs in the trial of
such cases should be retained in the
Veterans Administration, because such
activities are intimately related to the
other work of the administration and
to the proper making Of administrative
decisions IN the cases before they have
reached the stage of litigation.

Labor Will Handle
Workmen's Laws.

The Employees Compensation Com
mission Is an independent establishment
composed of three commissioners ap-
pointed by the President, by and with
the advice and consent OF the Senate.
1t was created by the act approved
September 7, 1915 (39 st. 742), provid-
ing compensation for civil employees
of the United States injured in the per-
Torrance Of their offcial duties. For
more than 10 years the administration

maritime employments, and by the act
approved May II, 1923 (45 st. 600),
providing compensation for employees
of private industry in the District Of
Columbia.
The act of September Z, 1916, applies
primarily to the civil employees of the
United States BY the act Of July IL +,

Justice to Take Over
Alien Property.

Under the provisions of the trad
ing with the enemy act" approved Oc-
tober 6, 1917, the President was author
lied to appoint an official to be known
as the alien property custodian, who
was empowered to receive all moneys
and property in the United States due
or belonging to an enemy or ally OF
an enemy Under this authority the
Office of the alien property custodian
was created by executive order, dated
October IL, 1917.
The settlement of war claims act OF
1928, approved March 10, 1928, author
lied the custodian to return 80 per cent
of the funds to German nationals and
100 per cent to Austrian and Hungarian
nationals, under certain conditions.
The work of this Office Is diminishing
as the claims are allowed and paid.
The final disposition of number of
claims has been withheld because Of
intervening suits that have been insti-
tuted which affect these claims.
The Department of Justice defends
or prosecutes all suits in which the
property held by the alien property
custodian Is involved. AS the principal
duties of the latter Office in the future
are the settlement of litigation and the
payment of claims to the nationals Of
foreign countries, 1t is clear that the
Office OF the alien property custodian
should be transferred to the Depart
ment of Justice.

Border Patrol Placed
Under Coast Guard.

At present the land borders of the
United States are patrolled by two diff
ferent units-the immigration Border
Patrol and the Customs Patrol. The
immigration Border Patrol was organ
ized to patrol the Canadian and the
Mexican, Florida and Gulf borders to
prevent the illegal entry of aliens
into this country. The Canadian
patrol constitutes one district and
the Mexican and Florida Gulf patrol
constitutes one district, with the united
control of the entire border patrol in
the Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton. The immigration Border Patrol
has about 973 employees with a total
annual pay roll of about $1,900,000.
The Customs Patrol is not unified In
the field. Each customs collection dis
trict has its own customs patrol, which
Is under the control and supervision OF
the collector of customs. The customs
Patrol has about 7l8 employees with an
annual pay roll of approximately
$1,500,00
The two services are responsible for
the protection of the same areas. In
some cases the two services are operat-
ing out of the same or nearby towns.
The immigration Patrol is charged with
the prevention of illegal entry of per-
sons while the Customs Patrol Is
charged charged with the prevention of
illegal entry Of merchandise and the
protection Of the customs revenues.
The unification of the border patrols
has been before the Congress for at
least three years. A bill providing for
their unification was passed by the
House of Representatives during the
Seventy-flrst session but failed to pass
the Senate The consolidation of the
two border patrols into one organization
charged with the enforcement of all
laws of the United States relative to
entry of persons or property is admitted
by all to be desirable. 1t would simplify
the procedure in handling violations Of
the law and would work toward a more
effective enforcement.
In what department should single
border patrol be located? The enforce
ment Of the immigration laws and the
enforcement of the customs laws are
each important, so there can be no Sc
lection on the basis of the most impor-
tant laws. However, the Government
now has an organization that Is charged
with the enforcement Of these same
laws-the United States Coast Guard.
The consolidation of the border patrol
with the Coast Guard would place in
one organization the duty Of patrolling
the entire border of the United States,
on land and on sea.

Bureau Of Efficiency
Put Under Budget.

The Bureau Of Efficiency was Gre
ated as division Of the Civil Services
Commission in pursuance Of q provi-
sion of the legislative, executive, and
judicial appropriation act approved
Maj ch 4, 1918. 1t was made an inde-
pendent establishment by the deficiency
appropriation act, approved February
90, 1916. The chief Of the bureau Is
appointed by the President, with the
advice and consent Of the Senate. The
functions Of the bureau now include
the making Of investigations pertain
ing to the duplication and overlapping
Of statistical services and other activi-
ties Of the Federal Government, busi-
ness methods and procedures in the
Government service, and the personnel
needs OF the executive departments and
independent establishments. The duties
and powers of the bureau with respect
to investigations in the executive de-
partments and independent establish
mentS were extended by an act Of
Congress approved May 16, 1928, to in
clude the municipal government Of the
District Of Columbia. The bureau also
conducts Investigations, at the request
OF the heads Of the departments or in
dependent establishments or commit
tees or individual members of Congress.
A large part of the regular duties
now performed by the Bureau Of Eff
cheney relate to the efficient and eco
nomical operation of the Government
service. The sole responsibility for this
work should be vested in the Bureau
Of the Budget which Is directly inter-
ested in the proper coordination and
the economical performance Of Federal
activities. The budget and account
ing act Of 1921 specifically charges the
Bureau of the Budget, when directed
by the President, to make detailed
study Of the departments and estab-
hshments for the purpose Of enabling
the President to determine what

gathering Of facts relating to births
and deaths involves many technical
questions of classification which direct
themselves to persons OF medical train
ing. Only such persons can interpret
the returns to the best advantage.
The work of the Division of Vital
Statistics has little or no relation to
the other work of the Bureau of the
Census, which would in no way be in
terfered with by separating it from that
bureau. Moreover, the Division OF
Sanitary Reports and Statistics of the
Public Health Service now has the re-
sponsibility for gathering data re-
garding births and deaths in other
countries and regarding morbidity in
this and other countries. This division
Of responsibility is unfortunate and
will be corrected by the proposed trans
fer Of the Division OF Vital Statistics
from the Bureau of the Census to the

National Cemeteries, Parks and Monu-
ments Of the War Department.
At present, the Quartermaster Corps
Of the War Department has jurisdiction
over the national cemeteries, national
military parks and certain national
monuments and battle sites. The duties
of the War Department (Quatermaster
Corps relative to those cemeteries,
parks, etc, deal entirely with their
management, care, and maintenance.
Their military origin is the only basis
upon which the Jurisdiction of the War
Department rests. These cemeteries,
parks, monuments, ETC., are a part of
the public domain and their control
should be In the service primarily con-
cerned with the management and op-
Grafton of parks and monuments. This
Is the National Park Service.
It is proposed, therefore, that all ju-
risdiction over the national cemeteries,
national military parks, monuments
and battle sites, now vested in the War
Department be transferred to the De-
partment Of the Interior and associated
with the National Park Service.

the fiscal year 1888 the wording IN the
appropriation act is as follows:
"For survey of northern and north
western lakes, and other boundary and
connecting waters as heretofore au-
thorized, including the preparation, cor
and bulletins and the investigation of
lake levels"
The survey Of northern and north
western lakes covers the American
waters of the Great Lakes and their
connecting and outflow rivers from st.
Regis, on the st. Lawrence River, to
the heads Of Lakes Michigan and Supe-
rior; the natural navigable waters of
the New York State canals; Lake
Champlain, and Lake Of the Woods
and other boundary and connecting
waters between said lake and Lake
Superior. The operations have also
been extended to waters to include
main-traveled courses for American
commerce, and boundary rivers where
surveys were essential to the integrity
of navigation charts.
The work consists Of ascertainment
and charting Of depths in all significant
regions; triangulation and precise level
ing needed to control the areas under
survey; river discharge measurements
investigations of lake levels; magnetic
surveys in and near main vessel courses;
prompt examination of areas where OBJ
structions to navigation have been re-
ported; photographic and topographic
surveys required for the publication OF
navigation charts; the preparation ano
publication of charts and bulletins, sup
plements, and notices to mariners re-
uuired for continuous and safe naviga-
tion, including revision and reissue OF
old charts.
A review Of the foregoing functions
clearly indicates that thee activities
conducted by the Corps q Engineers
of the War Department are practically
identical to the activities Of the Hydro
graphic Office of the Navy Department
| and those of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey of the Department Of Commerce
except that the field Of activity lies In
different area There appears nc
logical reason for maintaining three
separate establishments in as many
different major departments, all Of
which contribute to the same major
purpose-that of safeguarding naviga-
ton in order to protect and promote

proposed to transfer the functions oi
the survey of northern and northwest
ern lakes from the War Department
Corps Of Engineers to the Coast ant
