WASHINGTON. Dec. THE
government intends to take up the
case of the train caller who says
"umphff" when he means Ashta-
bula.
II he doesn't improve his pronun-
citation the federal co-ordinator Of
transportation indicates he may be
"umphfed' out Of his job. The
unintelligible train announcer is
only one Of the worries Of cO-ordi-
nator Joseph 3. Eastman, whose job
Is TO rehabilitate the nations $685.
600 100000 railroad system.
His jOr job IS to get more peO-
pie 10 ride trains He therefore is
considering such major railroad re-
forms as:
Windows for upper berths; time
tables which ordinary citizens can
read: hot water faucets which pour
out hot water in passenger car
washrooms, abolition Of tips for
George, the porter; prettier decora-
tiOns for the interior Of the cars;
recreation cars for bridge, movies
and dancing; bigger car windows;
rubber cushioned wheels; home de-
livery Of railroad tickets, and tele-
phone service from trains while
they are in motion.
Il Need Your Help
7 need your help in this job"
said Eastman. in sending a letter
today to 200 900 Americans, asking
them for suggestions for better
ment of railway service.
With the letter he sent a ques-
tionnaire asking twenty-four pages
Of questions. recalling all the trials
and tribulations Of railroad travel,
from cinders in eyes to the lack of
smoking rooms for women in rail-
way coaches.
The questions were mailed to
college students, travelling statesmen,
business executives and others who
do considerable travelling. He asked
the motorists when last they rode
on train.
He asked the others whether
they'd like seats comfortable enough
to sleep in during the day. whether
they'd ride in fancy, streamlined
trains if they were provided. and
how fast they'd like to go, if such
trains were put in service.
Super Trains Are Near
Mr.. Eastman's Office revealed
incidentally. that the super-super
trains of aluminium with tear drop
streamlining and motors capable of
1OO-mile an hour speeds are fast
approaching reality.
All the major railroads in the
nation" said one of his assistants,
are perfecting these super trains,
which are designed to revoiutionize
the riding habits of the nation
Little has been heard about
these ultra modern trains because
the railroad companies are unlike
any other American industry. Most
other lines Of business brag about
what they are going to do before
they do It, The railroads work first
and do their talking afterward.'

CLUSTERING SUN BEATS
 DOWN M|D-AMER|Ch

KANSAS CITY, June 27. -- The relentless rays of the sun con- tinued their assault on most of m d America yesterday, bringing increased suffering, to human be- ings and animals and added dam age to the crops.
 For the major part of the region little relief was forecast for the next few days. From the Great Lakes to the Rockies, and from the Canadian line to the Mexican border blistering sun beat down.
 Scattered howers throughout the area during the we ek e n d and Monday did little to relieve the situation.
 A chance that the Southwest would be relieved was seen when rain began falling over the Texas Panhandle area.

It was reported by amateur ra- dio operator that the MGM movie boat M. s. Nanuck is at Point Hope ready to take the company, now on location at that place, aboard.
 During the communication be- tween the operator at Anchorage and the Point Hope operator, MT. O. P. Rees, the signals faded out and only the following fragments of a message were received: we will have to get aboard the Ma muck or we will lose everything in- cluding ourselves. The Nanuck is here now" The Anchorage op- orator gathered from that, that the ice upon which the party are camped, is breaking up.

ARE THEY OYSTER?

An expert on shellfish is desired to go across the Bay to determine whether a variety of mollusks found there is oysters, mussels clans or some other animal. One oldtimer of the area thinks they are oysters but he is not certain as it has been many years since he has eaten oysters and his sense of taste does him little good in de- ternlining whether he has discover ed an oyter bed or not. He re- ports that the shellfish make good food when fried.

Recognized in several quarters
as world heavyweight wrestling
champion, Londos once more pa
raded his mastery before $500
fans at the Washington Audi
torium last night, pinning Frank
Judson with a body slam in a
minutes. Judson was a heavy
favorite with the fans, who Kissed

one of the best in which LondoS

Sports Program
CurtaiIed at
Catholic u.

No more intercollegiate sports
for Catholic University. With the
exception Of basketball the Cardi-
mails will not participate in any
more sports until next fall.
This decision Of school officials
follows an announcement Of yes
terday to the effect that the
athletic senate had. resolved to
discontinue the intercollegiate
sports program, excepting basket
ball, for the remaining part Of the
AGA demic year.
Financial reasons are given as
the causes for this action. The
fourth annual G. u. track meet
and the Cardinal boxing, track
and golf seasons are wiped off the
calendar as q result,
Athletic Director A. j. Berg
mans statements on the entire
matter reads this way:
"The cOuntry's educational
institutions are still feeling the
effect Of the business recession,
and it is due to this present
economic and financial exigency
that it Is necessary to adopt
this procedure at Catholic Uni
versity. The present program
In physical education and intra-
mural activities viii continue
throughout the year."
Bergman and school officials
are hopeful that this action will
not carry over into next year. If
so. football viii be abandoned.
However, prospects are good for
this sport as conditions are
viewed at this time.
Catholic University is the first
college nearby to curtail its sports
activities. Cornell recently waded
into the matter and has drawn
widespread attention, while the
diScontinuance of the Pough.
keepsie regatta has also shocked
the collegiate world.
The Washington times., 1933-01-13

xneSS came as an aLC0TmaCn
TO yesterdays detonation which
resulted in TIE outright cancella-
ton OF the Poughkeepsie regatta
for Q period of one year and
which now seems to have been
maybe q mistake. The cancella-
ton, in fact, may have to be
for a period of two years.
This. anyhow, was the impress
sion gained from guarded admiS-
sions in athletic circles, the. idea
being that while the crews had
soleKnnly promised to take part
next year, the man who attempts
IN row q promise down the mid.
die of the Hudson River Is liable
70 be a little unhappy over the
result.
Only two varsity crews, Colum-
bia and the Navy, seemed ready
to enter yesterday when the
stewards voted unanimously to
abandon an event which, except
for the war years, had been held
continuously since 1895. The
theirs, including California, Cor
nell, Syracuse, Pennsylvania, Wash
il1gton. M. I. T.. and Wisconsin,
wished to but could not. They
haven't the money now, so they
won't have it in June and the
matter Of next year is less q con-
viction than q hope.
Grid Receints Answer
Football receipts next faIl is the
answer = and here the officials
dolefully shook their heads. No
body, 1t seems, has worked up
any great enthuSiaS''1 over foot
ball receipts next fall.
In fact, only SU-.-C, bone-dfy
economies can finance the race
next year, they admit, and this
was all too clearly revealed today
when it developed that Cornell,
which started the stampede to-
ward cancellation by abandon
nnent of its spring sports pro-
grams, in toto, could have sent its
crews to PoughkeepSie for one
week at q cost ranging between
$4,000 and $4,000. Even the over
land trip Of California would not
have exceeded an outlay Of
$4,000, it seemed. That would
have financed only one crew,
whereas two crews could have
been sent east for $4,000, owing
to- the fact that it is necessary
to, engage an entire baggage car,
regardless Of whether one, two or
three shells are shipped.
Either way, it was too much for
California. 1t couldn't bring It.
self to feel justified in taking
on this obligation, even If it could
discharge it, which seems to be
doubtful.
Next year. they say. California
The Washington times., 1933-01-13

is bound to make an honest
effort to get here because it has
the championship crew and will
wish to defend the title. How
ever, 1t seems possible California
will insist that 1t has somebody
to defend against and here the
situation Is not reaSSuring.
No Hope For Cornell
Cornell, admitting itself to be
poverty.stricken now, has no rea.
son to suspect that it will be
much better off then. It's football
is remote from the big centers Of
population, and is not particular
ly attractive, any how. The
chances are it will till be trying
to get even at the close Of the
next football season, and you
can't send an eight-oared crew
anywhere, on a deficit.
Washington'S finances do not
look so cheerful, either. So far,
they haven't been able to sign
Jimmy Phelan, the football coach,
because they haven't been able to
show that they'll pay Jimmy
Phelan, the football coach. Co
lumbia and the Navy will be
ready again in 1894, Of course,
but Wisconsin and M. I. T. are
understood to be definitely out,
and 1t was said to be doubtful
yesterday whether Syracuse would
even put q crew on the water this
spring.

lima, Duke, Maryland, North Caro-
lima State, Virginia Military In
stitute, Virginia Polytechnical In
stitute and Clemson College is
the first since the recent Split-up
of the old Southern Conference
at Knoxville, Tenn.
Prior to the Knoxville meeting,
the Southern Conference was
composed Of % colleges, univer.
sites and institutes. At that
meeting 13 member institutions
from the far South withdrew and
formed the Southeastern Confer.
ence.
stronger Conference
The general sentiment among
attendants is that out Of the pres
ent series of meetings, discussions
and 'interchangeS Of opinions will
come a stronger, more united con-
ference than existed before the
Knoxville split-up. According to
these attendants, the present con-
ference is composed Of member
institutions having unity Of ideals,
unity Of purpose and internal
rules and regulations OF a like
nature.
Followers of intercollegiate ath-
letics in the South await with
interest some expression from the
Southern Conference apropos the
Knoxville Split-up. At the con-
clusion Of the Knoxville meeting
no statement was issued by the
Conference as constituted follow
ing the withdrawal Of Georgia,
Georgia Tech, Florida, Louisiana,
Alabama, Kentucky, Auburn, Van
derbilt, Tulane, Sewanee, TenneS-
see, "Ole Miss" and Mississippi
Aggies.
Renew Entry Efforts
William and Mary, Oldest of
American colleges, was expected
to renew its efforts today to enter
the Conference. The Indians, 1t
is understood, were about to be
admitted at Knoxville when the
Split-up came. Several other in
stitutions also planned to petition
for entrance.
Interchanges Of opinions in the
present meeting were expected to
revolve around policies, and sew
eral representatives this morning
contended that some fireworks
might be expected on matters
pertaining to schedule and eligi-
bility policies.

COACHES
FEAR LOCAL
CUNTS
BIZ SID KATZNELL

Coaches throughout the South
and East have the highest respect
for local college basketball teams
The Nations Capital quints are
noted for their ability to upset
crack aggregations and the out
of-town college mentors warn
their charges against overconfi-
dence every time they oppose a
local outfit.
For instance, Washington and
Lee Generals have been told not
to take the Gallaudet SilentS too
lightly when they battle them to-
night at Lexington, Va. v. M. I,
Cadets were also warned to take
precaution when playing the Mary
land Old Liners tonight at the
same Lexington town, while the
Knights Of Columbus loopers, con.
Sidered one of the finest teams
in the State Of New York, were
lectured to by their coach to
play headS-up ball every minute
against the Georgetown Hoyas
who will be met tonight at Brook
lyn, N. Y. And even Rider College
stalwarts were told to be careful
when they tackle C. U. Cardinals
tonight at Trenton, N. j.
Rider always produces one Of
the strongest fives In the east.
Silent Hope
Coach Wally Krug Of the Silents
will depend on the sharp shoot
ing Of Capt. George Brown and
Rayhill for victory. He also
hopes that Burdette, center, is
able to continue his sensational
passing, which has helped the
Gallaudet toSsers materially in
winning their games this season.
Maryland noopers are back to
zone defense this year after a
lapse Of several seasons. Incl
dentally, zone defense is proving
very successful, as 1t aided the
MarylanderS to BATTLE v. p. I.
Kadets to the tune Of 40 to 20
in their Southern Conference
debut last week.
HOyas Feared
The Hoyas are proud to possess
two high class shooting aces in
Ed Hargaden and Tom Carolan.
These stars will be watched closely
by the Brooklyn Caseys tonight.
The HilltopperS have been rather
successful in their recent New
York invasion, defeating Colgate
and Canisius,. and losing to the
crack New York University bas-
>keters by a close score.
