WRIT SUSPENDS
POSTAL JOB

Attacking the NRA in a contro-
versy over a PWA building prof.
ect, the George F. Driscon Com.
pany, construction firm of Brook
lyn, N. Y, obtained a temporary
injunction yesterday in District
Supreme Court, preventing Secre-
tary of Treasury William H.
Woodin from awarding a contract
for construction Of a post office
annex in New York.
The injunction will expire No
vember 3, when a hearing on the
case was scheduled by Justice F.
Dickinson Let's.
The construction company SUBJ
mitted a bid for the postoffice
project last February %. The
plaintiff alleged its bid of $4,248,-
800, which was the lowest, had
been protested on the ground of
failure to comply with the NRA,
and on october IS, the Driscoll
company was notified the bid had
been rejected.
The construction firm contends
Secretary Woodin'S act in award
ing the contract to a higher bid
der was a violation of law since
the plaintiff had complied with
all specification particulars.

FLOOR OUTLOOK
BRIGHT At MD.

Prospects for basketball are ex-
ceedingly bright at Maryland Uni
versity this year. The team will
have six men returning from the
1928 machine while two others
will be stepping up from the
freshmen squad.
The Old Liners open their sea-
son on December 18 against
Michigan at College Park, follow
ing this by facing Indiana on
December 80, also at College Park.
Rufus Vincent, center and high
scorer last season in the confer
ence, is one of the veterans re-
turning, while Chase and Yowell,
forwards, and Bucky Buscher,
Snyder and Evans, guards, are
the others.
Scheele and Johns will be
among the candidates for jobs.
These two youngsters were
freshmen last year and are now
ready for varsity competition.
Coach Burton Shipley started
practice yesterday and hopes to
get the team in tip-top shape by
the time the current football sea-
son has quieted down.

CASE HELD
No PRECEDENT

Legal opinion in Government
circles today was that the decision
of Comptroller General McCarl in
a recent case involving a sale Of
rags by an enterprise which had
not fully met NRA requirements
probably would not have enough
in common with the Ford-NRA
situation to be accepted as a pre-
cedent in case the Comptroller
General should be called upon to
decide what must be done in
Ford's case.
1t is generally accepted as in
evitable that McCarl will be called
upon for ruling with respect to
Government purchase of Ford
products.
Whatever the attitude of Nc
Carl may be, it was pointed out
by Federal legal experts that the
Federal courts have upheld emerg-
ency legislation, perhaps the first
instance of a definite decision on
this point having come in the case
of the District Rent Commission
in the Supreme Court.

Questions arose as to the consti.
tutionality of the commission act.
The highest tribunal decided in
favor of the commission. This

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 81

b. m. with seven races on the
flat daily, and a steeplechase
as an added attraction, on
Thursday and Friday of this

possible condition, and work out
miles around lao prove it is
lightning fast.
Need Few Hours
In recent years vast quantities
of sand has been spread on the
track, which was previously
scraped off the old soil, and only
a few hours of sunshine serves
to put it in tip-top shape after
q heavy shower.
The steeplechase course also
shows the result of constant
care, and is acknowledged by
experts to be one Of the best IN
the country.
Fresh brusch has been used to
strengthen weak places in the per-
manent hedges, and the well Knit
turf of clover, is as firm and
Springly as the most ardent fol-
lower of the Cross Country game
could desire.
All the prominent stables in this
part of the country will be repre-
sented, and their numbers will be
reinforced by recruits from other
sections where racing is over for
the season.
Much interest is shown in the
new TOTE" which is marvel of
ingenuity, and is tried out at Pim-
leo for the first time in Maryland.
It's inventor, Henry Lobe Straus.

the Maryland Jockey Club, and

men.

cided are the Baltimore Handicap

PASSAGE OF 8
BIC MEASURES
Begins Last Minute Drive;
Must Adopt Bankruptcy
Bill, He Says.
BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover unexpectedly
began laSt-minute drive Monday
to push his many-sided reconstruc-
ton program through the lame
duck" congress.
With his departure from the
White House only two weeks away,
Mr.. Hoover sent to Capitol Hill
message bristling with such phrases
as critical Importance, grave
dangers" and "exaggerating fears"
The message urged adoption of
eight measures looking to the pro-
motion of economic recovery"
The bankruptcy bill must be
passed. the President said, if DE-
structive receiverships, particularly
among the railroads, are to be
avoided.
The complicated domestic allot-
ment plan would do more harm
than good to agriculture, said Mr.
Hoover.
He urged that the house of rep
resentatives cease making public the
loans of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, declaring such revela-
tons are drying up the very sources
of credit.
These three subjects were consid-
cred by some as the most important
in the eight pithy paragraphs the
President used. His other recon-
mendations included:
Ratification of the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence seaway treaty, as being
of great Importance in relief of I'M
employment.
Enactment by the house of the
Glass banking bill, which he said
rs the first constructive step to
remedy the prime weakness of our
whole economic life-that is, organ
ization of our credit system"

lief loans.

tiers of Psychology.

By ScripDs-Hovdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Except
for some twist of violence in his
brain, Giuseppe Zangara might have
been only one Of the long list of
cranks who through the White
House, almost daily with complaints
or suggestions they want to place
before the President of the United
States.
It is amazing how many people
look upon the nations chief exec
utive as a combination of father
confessor, physician and personal
advisor.
They enter the lobby Of the exec
utive offices, and # they prove
harmless the guards permit them to
sit around while. They get con-
siderable satisfaction out of that.
and rarely return when informed
that "the President can not see
them today"
Others, more persistent, must be
handled differently, and they are
taken in charge by the secret serv-
ice.
Here psychology enters, and most
members Of the secret service have
fair knowledge of practical psy-
chology
Dick Jervis, for instance, began to
study psychology the day he was
assigned to the White House in the
era of Theodore Roosevelt. One day.
when President Taft found him
reading a textbook on the subject.
Mr.. Taft shook with laughter and
said: 4 hope you learn what It's
all about"
The first essential is that no crank
must leave the White House with i'll
feelings toward its chief occupant.
So, no matter what his complaint.
he usually is informed that some
other department has charge of the
matter troubling him, and it is from
there that he is gently sent away.
