SHAKE-UP IN SOVIET
COUNCIL RUM0RED
Economic Reorganization I'M
minent to Give Impetus
to Five-Year Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoClated Press
MOSCOW, January 4.-Rumors of an
impending reorganization Of the Su-
preme Economic Council, controlling
body of Soviet industry, into three
separate branches to push forward the
fve-year plan, are current here.
The council probably would be split
up into at least three commissariatS
In the near future, 1t was understood.
The reorganization would be in line
with the recently inaugurated policy of
decentralizing those branches Of the
Soviet economy which, by rapid growth
in the carrying out of the flve-year
plan, have become unwieldy. (This is
the fourth year of the f1ve-year plan
and Soviet Russia has been urged by
its leaders to complete the plan this
year,
Establishment Of commissariats in
charge of heavy and light industry,
with probably another for the distribu-
ton of their products, was understood to
be included in the reorganization plan.
This would create, two, possibly three,
new responsible posts.
The Supreme Economic Council is
Just what its name implies. 1t is in
charge of the entire public economy of
the Soviet Union, embracing all phases
of industrial production and distribu-
ton. 1t also has charge of the en-
ployment of foreign engineers and
technicians.
The Supreme Economic Council Is
headed by Gregory K. OrdjoniEidze,
with three vice chairman under him.
Various departments in the council
have had charge Of the industrial ac-
tivities Of the Soviet Union-state, prt-
vate, cooperative and all the rest.

LEAVE MEXICO CITY
TO ATTEND CHURCH
Catholics Worship Outside Federal
Area, Where New Religious Decree
Limits Number of Priests.
by the Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY, January ALI
roads led out of Mexico City yesterday
as Catholics attended church services
outside the federal district, where the
new law limiting the number of clergy
allowed to officiate was not effective.
The federal district, to which the re-
strictive law was applied last week, ex-
tends only a. few miles beyond the
limits of Mexico City.
Archbishop Pascual DiaZ was report
ed to have attended the service at the
Church of Los Remedies, five miles out
side of Mexico City. Churches in the
federal district, open but priestleSS, also
were crowded by Catholics who came
to worship.
Laymen read the mass in some
churches, while in others the worshipers
prayed in silence.
The two Anglo-American Protestant
Churches were closed because the min
listers had not yet been able to regis
ter, as required by the law, but services
were held in the few Mexican Protes-
tant churches, whose Mexican-born
priests received permits to offlciate yes
terday.
The newspaper La Prensa reported
that 1900 troops had taken up guard
duty along the Mexico Acapulco
highway in anticipation of a trip by
President Ortiz Rubio to Acapulco to
spend a months vacation.

WHEELER REEVES
16-1 SILVER ISSUE
SAYS Bill Given Senate Would
Solve. Unemployed Labor
Problem.
nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
Echoes of the silver-tongued orator
of 1896 were back today in Congress
with a revival Of the famous "16-to-1"
silver issue
This platform of William Jennings
Bryan was brought forth again in a
bill which another Democrat, Senator
Wheeler Of Montana, offered to Con-
gress. The measure provides for free
coinage of silver on the basis Of 16
ounces to one of gold. Wheeler is
strong in the faith he pins upon the
plan.
"Contentment, happiness and lucra-
tive occupation would be substituted for
discontentment, despair, with their in
evitable resultant tragedies to follow"
was his summary Of the benefits ex-
pected.
Follows Year of Agitation.
Senator Wheeler, who ran for Vice
President in 1924 on the La Toilette
independent ticket, announced his bill
after year of agitation in Congress
and elsewhere for some action to re-
vive the price of silver, which has fallen
to less than half what it was two or
three years ago.
The Senate last year passed reso-
iution favoring an international con-
ference to rehabilitate silver, but such
a conference has not materialized.
Some of those advocating a silver
conference have favored the double
monetary standard. but others have
SHE'D away from it, contending it was
not necessary to restore the value Of the
white metal.
Labor Problem Solution Seen.
In announcing his bill, Wheeler said
It would rapidly solve the unemployed
labor problem and benefit both capital
and labor
What my bill proposes to do is to
put more dollars in circulation" he said,
"make it possible for us to regain our
lost trade in the Orient by increasing
their purchasing power and make it
possible for the debtor classes to pay the
debts with dollars of the same value
as when they borrowed the money-in
other wordS-So the farmer will not
have to give more bushels of wheat or
more bales of cotton than he would
have had to do at the time he contract
ed his debts and placed mortgage on
his farm"
Wheeler contended that within year
after the enactment of his bill the price
of wheat, cotton and all agricultural
products would be more than trebled in
monetary value, that agricultural land
values would be more than quadrupled
and the purchasing power of more than
so per cent of the worlds population
would be uuadrupled

STUDY MARKS HIT
PUBLIC HIGH F|VES
Central Loses Star Passer
and Other Schools Have
Talent Ousted.

ILL BURKE, perhaps the best
- passer on the Central High
School squad, will make his
last appearance in the public
high school basket ball series tomorrow
when the Blue and White stacks up
against its traditional rival, Tech, on
the Mckinley court.
Burke, it was learned yesterday, will
be out of the game for the remainder
of the season due to scholastic def
ciencies. Central, however, gained Jack
Moulton, former Forest Park, Nd.
High School forward, who was an all
high choice in Baltimore as well as an
all-State selection, before moving to
Washington.
Western will lose Bernie Buscher and
Bill Mcpherson. while Business will lose
Leon Esentad. Bob Cooke, Milton Jacob
son and Bernie Holman. Neither East
ern nor Tech has suffered.
Central tomorrow will be out to
avenge an earlier 29-to-15 defeat at the
hands of Tech, and in view of the i'm
provement the Columbia Heights tossers
have shown lately, the Blue and White
appears to have a good chance.
The other series game will bring to-
gether Eastern and Business.
Business and Gonzaga, st. Albans
and Landon. and Eastern and the Ma
tional Training School were to oppose
today.
In other schoo!boy matches slated
hereabout tomorrow St. Johns and
Georgetown Prep will meet at Garrett

CANN IS APPOINTED
n. Y. j. GRID COACH
Former Violet Star Also Sue
ceeds His Father as
Physical Director.

BY the Associated Press.
n IEW YORK, January 28.-NeW
York University, in recent
V years one of the titans of the
gridiron, has reached into the
ranks of its alumni for a new head
coach of foot ball as the first step in
its avowed intention of de-emphasizing
the Fall sport.
Howard G. (Jake) Cam, 20, was
appointed head foot ball coach and
physical director yesterday, with the
added title of assistant professor on
the university faculty.
He succeeds the dynamic John F.
Chick Meehan, who resigned six weeks
ago.
Succeeds His Father.
For decade, since he was the great
est all-around athlete ever produced at
the school, Cam has been associated
with the Violets in some capacity. His
father, Frank H Cam, has been there
for 81 years, the last 20 as physical
director. He relinquishes the post now
to his SON.
Under the university's new policy, it
will make no difference whether Cam
succeeds in turning out winning foot
ball teams, declared Prof. Philip Badger,
chairman of the Board of Athletic Con-
troll
I'VE are confident he will make fine
COACH he said. He knows foot ball
from the ground up, has been an avid
student OF the game for long time and
he will get the best out of the available
material. But it will make no difference
whether his teams win. All we ask is
that he give us his best, and, If he
should happen to produce some great
teams, that will be quite all right, too"
Job Likely Permanent.
The length of Cams contract was
not announced but Prof. Badger gave
the impression that the job would be
permanent.
Cam has been head basket ball coach
at N. Y. u, since 1928 and for two
years before that was assistant to Ed
Thorp. His varsity quintets have won
80 games and lost only so. He also was
assistant foot ball mentor until 1925,
when Meehan came to the school.
In his three years as a student at
N. Y. u, Cam starred in almost every
major sport, including foot ball, basket
ball and track.

@HICAGO, January 28.-An
[ ideal athlete? Look no
~ longer, Watson!
Bill HARLOW, Chicagos
star of stars in tho high school
athletic world, should fill the big
assignment.
When Bill ended his athletic
career at Bowen High School this
week by scoring a staggering total
of 81 basket ball points all by
himself, he completed probably
the most versatile record in Chi
cago prep hiStory-a record he
will attempt to match in college.
Basket ball has been Bills chief claim
to fame, although he has scared to the
heights in base ball, golf and fencing,
while hanging up a scholastic record of
straight AS throughout high school,
winning IA major letters and taking
charge Of almost all of his class ac-
tivities. Coaches insist he would star at
foot ball and track with equal ability.
only he was forced to give those two
sports up because Of high school rules,
which limit athletic activities.
List of Achievements.
Here are some of Bills athletic
achievements, which have made him
one of the most sought after prep ath-
leteS in the Nation:
Basket ball-Although kept on the
SidelineS most Of the time, Bill aver
aged 1834 points for "a games in 1929
30, his first year; 1914 points for SO
games in 1930-31 and 1885 points for
13 games this season. He was captain
of the team twice and unanimous all
city prep cage captain two years in a
row.
Base ball-Captain. star pitcher and
star first baSeman for the team He
pitched no-hit, no-run game last sea-
son, played almost errorieSs ball at first
and hammered out 16 home runs for
good measure.
Gof-He captained the high school
golf team twice ana averaged 79
strokes for each 1S-hole round on Chi
cagOS hardest layoutS
Fencing-He was rated as one of the
best prep fencers of the world leading
the Bowen team as captain twice.
Born Athlete.
Young Haarlow, the son of a former
University of Minnesota foot ball star,
DR.. A w. Haarlow, in a model in
| physique, too. Only Is years old, he is
well developed, carrying 172 pounds on
a foot 1l2 inch frame. He processes
no secret for athletic eXcellency. He is
a natural-bOrn athlete. On the basket
ball floor he seldom shoots from a dis
tance, measuring his shots usually from
around the free-throW line and feeding
his teammates with brilliant passes.
Scores of college alumni have sought
his enrolment at their alma matters,
but young HaarlOw is leaving the Selec-
ton up to his father.
Fortunately, I've got enough money
to send my son to the college I think
BEST" DR.. Haarlow said Right now
the choice is between Michigan, Chi
cago, Wisconsin and Northwestern I've
been around athletes most of my life
I played against Jim Thorpe in foot
ball-and 1 think Bill will be Just as
good in college as he was in high
school. He's unspoiled, an excellent
student, an ideal athlete"
