MEETS
EASTERN IN
FEATURE
BY GARRETT WATERS

An unusual situation bohs up In
today's inte--hish school series
basketball games at the Tech gym,
nasium. Members Of both the
Tech and Roosevelt teams thor
oughly believe that they possess
powers enough to defeat Central
or any other opponent in COM
petition.
A picture Of this can be illus
trated by the remarks and views
Of the players after their respec-
tive games O week or SO ago.
Roosevelt, making its first appear.
ance, was defeated by Eastern III
one Of those thrillers. The score
ended IS to 80.
After the game Coach Woody s
boys were heard to say:
They're mot the best team in
the world. We should have
beat 'em."
Almost the same words were
voiced by Tech High players after
their loss at the hands Of Central
last week. Central won the game
IL to SO.
Expressions Of "Too bad, fel'
lows, you put up q great game"
were handed to the Techmen
from all corners. But the retort
was always this:
"Yep, too bad, but we should
have beat 'em. They're good,
but not the best in the world"
Now what are you going to
do when the players possess such
spirit as all this? 1t undoubtedly
brings to mind the spark and
seriousness with which the schol-
aSticS take their basketball. also
the playing of the exciting games
which always are q part Of the
series each year, no matter how
slow the start or how one sided
the finish.
Tech Faces Eastern
Today Tech ices Eastern and
Roosevelt stacks UP against Cen
tral in the games the schedule
makers have arranged. The Tech
Eastern fracas Is the opener for
the day at $3.50 o'clock. Players
Of both the Tech and Roosevelt
teams win rush into their re.
spective contests with that spirit
that they are as good II not
better than their opponents. and
that they should beat EN-"
Tech will be fighting to tie
Eastern for second place when 1t
takes the floor against the Lin
coin Parkers. The latter holds q
record of two victories against
only one loss so far in the series,
while Tech has won one game
and lost one.
Roosevelt will be out to also
get into the second-place contro-
versy in its game with Central.
The Rough Riders can do Just
this by winning (if such an unex'
pected event occurS) as the team
has won one game and lost only
one in the series to date.
Central, on the other hand,
will take a commanding lead by
q triumph. as it's record will then
stand three victories in as many
starts, with only Western in its
path before a clean sweep Is
realized for the first half Of the
schedule.

Average Citizen Here Drinks
LIS Pints of Mix a Day

The average Washington citi-
zen consumes lis pints of milk
and cream daily, to place this
city slightly above the average
in daily per capita milk con-
sumption, according to figures
compiled by the agricultural ad-
justment division.
Concord, N. H., is among the
cities which lead in daily per
capita consumption of milk and
cream, the figure for that city
being 2.7 pints a person a day.
Other cities where the daily per
capita consumption rate is high
include Boston, Springfield, Mass;
Newark, N. j., Cleveland, Council
Bluffs, Ia. and Topeka.
AS a rule, the officials of the
division explain, the northern
cities have a higher per capita
milk consumption rate than
southern cities.

MILK HEARINGS
To CONTINUE
NEXT WEEK
More Than Score of Witnesses
Listed for Quiz by Seal;
Code Solution Seen

Adjournment of the hearings
before the Senate subcommittee
investigating milk prices in Wash
ington from yesterday until Mon
day probably will necesSitate
continuation of the open meet
ings through all of next week.
This became apparent today
with word from Elwood Seal,
committee counsel, that a num-
ber of witnesses are yet to be
heard, some of whom are ex-
pected to be on the stand for
lengthy periods.
About a dozen witnesses have
testified since the hearings be-
gan last Tuesday, and almost
twice that number are on Seals
list.
Despite the fact that commit
tee members are of the opinion
that either the farmers are not
receiving enough for their prod
uct or the consumers are paying
too dear a price for milk, it is
believed unlikely that corrective
legislation will result, due to the
fact that an NRA code for the
milk industry probably will be
agreed upon in the near future
and any legislation growing out
of the inquiry would be either
ambiguous or invalid.

D. C. $4,000 AID
PLEALAGS

Officials at the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration to-
day denied receiving a request
for 100000 from the Districts
Board of Public Welfare for re-
lief of transients, but promised
to give the application "sympa-
thetic consideration when re-
ceived.
The administration is aware of
action taken yesterday by the
local welfare board, but pointed
out the 100000 request would
have to be drawn up and pre-
sented formally by the District
Commissioners, since it is through
them alone the Federal relief
body can handle District mat
terS.
The amount sought would have
to come from the administra-
tion's discretionary fund" of
$2,500,000, the bulk Of which is
still intact.

SCHRODT DEATH
INVESTIGATION
CONCLUDED
Detective FiehIIy Finishes
Probe; MuIIigan Held; No
Trace of Weapon Found

Detective William Fiehlly, of
Baltimore police homicide squad,
in charge Of the investigation of
the murder of Ella M. Schrodt,
announced today that he had con-
cluded his probe of the Staying.
Detective Fiehlly has been on
the case since the former actress
was found dead in her bed at her
home in Mt. Rainier, Md, early
Tuesday.
John C. Mulligan, common-law
husband of the slain woman, who
is charged with the murder, will
not be released, Detective Fiehlly
said.
Weapon Hunted
Police have been unable to find
the weapon that was used to slay
the 58-year-old former investiga-
tor for a washington jewelry
store. She died from a cerebral
hemmorhage and a fractured
skull. A deep wound in her FORE
head was inflicted by some blunt
instrument, police believe.
Today j. Wilson Ryon and Al
bert Hassall, attorneys for Null
ligan. will be permitted to confer
with him in his cell at the Hyatts-
vile Jail. He has been in solitary
confinement since his arrest,
with the exception of 20 minutes
yesterday when he was allowed to
attend funeral services for the
woman with whom he lived for
eight years.
Talks to Bowie
Detective Fiehlly went to Marl-
boro yesterday to confer with
States Attorney Alan Bowie
about the case. Although police
have uncovered only circumstan
tial evidence against Mulligan, it
is believed that It was decided at
that time not to free him.
Friends Of Mulligan and. Miss
Schrodt say they do not believe
the jewelry firm collector MUIR
dered his common-law wife. Both
drank heavily, they say, but
neither was subject to fits OF
temper.
Police believe Mulligan killed
the woman in a drunken rage fol
lowing drinking party at the
couples bungalow home.
