Kurth Graduated :

kAuEth SAssAAee|@t~
 Hunk has plenty he could cry about. Old Man Graduation has taken Joe Kurth, Hunks All- America tackle; Jim Harris, star guard; Paul Host, Mike Koken, Joe. Sheeketski, Norm Greeney, and Ed Kosky. The loss Of that material is enough to make any coach sigh and sob.
 There are a lot of seasoned players ready to step into the snoes of those graduated players--1un.. iors and seniors who have had from one to two years of play un- der fire, and who have abosrbed the Notre Dame system thoroughly. But Hunk is rosy about his soph : Anderson invited es players to report to him for the varsity this year. Among those gridders were II sophomores who teamed up last spring to shatter Notre Dame tradition by defeating the varsity in the windup game of the spring practice session.
 The sophs are Wayne Millner left end; Ken stilley, lfet tackle; Jim Martin, left guard; Tommy Dunn, center; Bill smith. right guard; Joe Sullivan, right tackle; Marty Peters, fight end; Tony Maziotti, quarterback; Andy Phil. ney, left half; Mike Layden, right half, and Don Elser, full.
 Millner is 0 youngster rom Salem, Mass, heralded as the boy who will make Notre Dame its hrst All-America end. He is fast, an exceptional pass receiver and Q hard tackler.
 Sullivan, who prepped in Brook iyn, is son of Tim Sullivan, wno was wrestling champion Of the New York police department. Young Joe is out to give Tom Koacn, the veteran, a battle for the honor of filling the rather large brogans or Joe Kurth. In the spring session. when Suliy brought down Nick Lukats in c tackle, Nick said that he never had been tackled harder. And Nick has met up with such as Tay Brown and Ernie Smith of southern California!
 Laydcn Looks Good. The two soph halfbacks are reminiscent of Four Horseman days, especially since Mike Layden, brother of Elmer, one of the Riders Is one of them. Mike is said to be better than his brother even now. The other half. Pilney, Is a Chicago boy who gives promises of supplying Hunk with something he's sorely needed for two years "a good kicker. .,
 Don Elser, the fuliback candi. date, is the answer to one of Hunks prayers-someone to III George Melinkovich's hhoes If the Utah lad is unable to play this year, due to illness suffered dur ing the summer.
 Built like a buffalo, with bulg- ing shoulders and pile-driving legs, this 210 pounder can spot the 100 yards in 10 seconds, and can kick and pass.
 The answer to Hunks other prayer 1 Tony Maziotti. With Jasitwich, Vejar and Murphy all gone. the Notre Dame leader had . real problem finding a smart field leader.

The country's coaches have all gone Dobiesque-all except Hunk Anderson of Notre Dame.
 For the first time since Hunk took over the reins of the Rockne organization, a smile has split his otherwise stoical pan. And the reason is that he has one of the best aggregation of sophomore shock troops that has ever been under his wing.

.'SILVERITES'
! COURT,ED
BY G. D. P.
Compromise at PISTOL Ratio
! Looms in Plan to Beat
B. Roosevelt Gold Rule

"A proposal to remonetize
silver at a ratio Of 33 to l,
against gold, was made today
by Senator Hatfield (R.) of
West Virginia on behalf of the
conservative Republican bloc
in the Senate as a substitute
for the gold section Of the Ad-
ministration s initiation bill.
The Republicans were seeking
an alliance with Democratic sill
verites to write this amendment
into the bill.
The Democratic silverites were
holding out for 16-to-1 ratiop but
rumors were current the two
groups would agree on q COM
promise ratio Of Is to /.
Compromise May Win
II they do, indications were
they would win enough support to
write the silver amendment into
the bill as substitute for the pro-
vision giving the President power
to reduce the gold content of the
dollar.
Leaders of the Republican op-
position to the Administration
bill and the Democratic silver
bloc have been trying for "a
hours to reach an accord on re-
monetizing silver. There was a
possibility the two groups would
reach an agreement during the
day.
The Hatfield amendment would
make it mandatory on the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to remone-
tie silver. The Administration
bill merely would give the Presi-
dent permissive authority to re-
duce the gold content Of the dol
lar and to coin free silver at
whatever ratio he thought best
for the nation.
Bonds Protected
Hatfield's proposal would direct
the Secretary of the Treasury to
coin silver as legal tender ex-
cept in the case of debts "spe-
officially payable in a particular
kind of money" This clause
would protect holders of gold
bonds.
The 33-to-1 ratio would be es-
.tablished by prohibiting purchase
of silver for coinage purposes at
more than 10 cents an ounce.

Members of the House Appro-
priations Subcommittee admitted
today they were ''up in the air"
as to what to do about the Bud
get Bureaus proposal to retire
automatically Federal employees
up to 30. years of service.
The members declared there
had been so, much conflicting tes-
timony that the committee was
at a loss as to where to start in
an effort to modify the proposal
contained in a legislative rider to

Taber Dissatisfied
However, Representative John
Taber RO of New York was said
to have admitted to the sub
committee that he was not salts
fled with the budget proposal.
AS a result of this dissatisfac-
ton, he offered a counter propo-
sition at today'S session.
Under his plan the President,
two years after the act becomes
effective, may retire all Federal
employees whose efficiency rating
and physical condition give evil
dence that they can be dispensed
with without jeopardizing the
smooth functioning of the Gov
ernment.

tirement spread in the Senate.

Stocks RALLY
AF TER DROP

NEW YORK, April IS G.N.S0 i.
The stock market boom was
halted by a flood of profit taking
today.
A selling rush hit the list at
the opening and sent leaders
down / to 3 points in furious
trading. A sharp rally followed,
but the market was unable to
recover all the initial losses and
a quiet spell ensued during
which the ticker was able to
catch up after trailing the first
hour.
Commodities followed the pat.
tern of stocks with wheat, sill
yer and other staples down
sharply at the opening, then
rallying. Bonds ignored the re-
dictionary influences and pointed
higher, aided by strength in gov
ernments. The dollar was mixed
and relatively stable.
Radio was a feature of the
trading, both the common and
preferred being taken up to new
highs for the year in heavy deal
ings.
Steel common was down more
than a point while Case Thresh-
ing slumped nearly 3 points.
Utilities were heavy and rails

Retirement Dispute Puts
House Group ''In Air"

of New York, chairman of the
Senate Rules Committee, said:
'- 81 went along on the economy
act but when it comes to re-
firing persons, along in years,
when they cannot get new work,
it seems to me to be the worst
sort Of policy"
Proposals that the retirement
policy of the Government be ex-
tended to make optional retire
merlt possible after Is years serv-
ice, or to enable the President
to weed out employees for pension
ing after that length of time in
the Federal employ, would affect
fully 20 per cent of Government
workers in washington, it was
estimated today.
Ratio Less in Field
The ratio might be somewhat
less in the field, but the percen-
tage of 3O-year employees ranges
from S to 7, according to the age
of the various bureaus.
There appeared today a prob
ability that the older employees,
threatened with the loss of their
longevity ratings might open a
counter-offensive against veteran
preferences.
The compulsory retir ment
threat has at least had the effect
of uniting, for the time being,
the two rival organizations of
Federal employees on the principle
of voluntary retirement and pres
ervation of the merit system.
