LOS ANGELES, July 81. - Jim
Thorpe, generally recognized as one
Of the greatest athletes the world
has known, will be looking on with
a misty eye when the 1882 Olympic
: games are being run off here July
80 to August IA.
He thinks the celebration of the
tenth Olympiad will be the best in
history and he'd like to be out on
the field himself. He'd especially
/ like to be the Thorpe of old and
try his luck against the modern de-
+ cathlon and pentathlon men.
/ All the applause the great Indian
athlete won as the best of all foot
ball players and in other lines OF
sport he would trade, he said, for
such another day as the one climax
ing the 1912 Olympic games in
Stockholm.
That's my fondest memory" he
said, speaking of the time when the
king of Sweden presented him
awards for winning both the de-
cathlon and pentathlon titles, a
feat that never has been duplicated.
THE king told me I was the
greatest athlete in the world"
Thorpe recounted. 1T was a beau
tiful day. There was a lot of sun
shine and all that and there were
thousands and thousands of peo-
pie in the stadium. You know, 1
think l believed what the king said
about me-"
Thorpe later lost his awards and
/. his records, when, after the games
were over, he was declared a pro-
fessional because he accepted money
for playing baseball after he left
Carlisle Indian Institute and before
the Olympics started.
Thorpe, at IS still the healthy.

to work in motion pictures and au-
thoring an occasional book. He

General Lyle Brown, chief of army

The new complaints reached him
through official channels from the

charged that Negro workers in the
flood control camps along the
Mississippi river are being paid an
average wage of 10 cents on hour for
twelve-hour day and a seven day

At the war department it was
learned that there may be some
work being done along the levees
for which 10 cents an hour is paid.
However, the department itself
does not permit such pay nor such
long hours among workers it hires
directly.
1t holds that it has no rights over
contractors except those stipulated
