TAKE YouR CHOICE

Looking over the schedule of games for Wednesday, December 27th, we find some of the choicest battles listed which shoulud satisfy the palates of the most rabid. We find Galipeau and Baker locking horns and at the rate Baker is go- ing, JoeJ's leadership may be short- lived. Then there is the one be- tween Mellon and Sullivan which is a natural. One of the two will not be in a tie for second place when the smoke has cleared. There are also the meetings of MOriarty and Lautenschlager, Flanagan and Mills and last but not least, Ed Mclean takes on Colucci. The rest of the matches are just .as important as the ones singles out so it is necessary that all the team captains check the members of their respective teams in order that all will be on deck.

OVER HUGE JUNGLE
Will Visit Interior of Brazil
Before Returning Home
Via Miami.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARA, Brazil, December 9.-Col
Charles A. Lindbergh decided definitely
today to fly into the interior of Brazil
tomorrow.
The Flying Colonel set his goal as
Manoas, more than 800 miles inland
up the Amazon River.
He planned to leave that point Mon
day to return to the United States by
way of Trinidad, Puerto Rico and
Miami.
It was not indicated whether he
would fly overland from Manoas on
his homeward journey or return to the
sea coast by way of the Amazon. The
shortest overland fight to the coast
would require him to pilot the big sea-
plane, in which he and his wife re-
Gently made their transatlantic flight,
over more than 600 miles of jungle.
The Lindberghs arose early today
and called on Interventor Magalhaes
Barata, the official government repre-
sentative, accompanied by United States
Consul George e. Seltzer.
They then went to the air field, where
mechanics were overhauling their
plane.
The flying couple were guests of
honor last night at a dinner given by
A. Pickerell, an American. in whose
home they stayed overnight Guests
included Seltzer and several Pam
American Airway pilots. Col. and Mrs.
Lindbergh retired at $50 pm.
They arrived here yesterday from
Natal, Brazil, alighting in Guaraja Bay
after having covered the 1904 miles in
hours and % minutes.

MADRID. December 9.-Government
forces today apparently had crushed a
wave Of anarchist and syndicalist re-
bellion which swept fiercely over North

Only in the Province of zaragoza,

But, during the night, more than 20
persons were killed and several hundred

Throughout the night and well into

power in the recent parliamentary cleo

The rioters smashed communications

isolate the area.
The situation was brought under con-

CHAUTEMPS WINS
CONFIDENCE VOTE
Governments Strength Sur
prises in Vote on Budget
Program.
6y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 9.-The cabinet of
Premier Camille Chautemps. in a sur
prising show of strength in the face
of attacks from many sides, won an
overwhelming vote of confidence in the
Chamber of Deputies today. The count
was 403 to So.
The vote came on the vital measure
in the governments program to balance
the budget and protect the French
franc. that calling for reducing the pay
Of functionaries.
Despite the apparently sweeping VIC
tory, however. the government still
faced many dangerous traps in its prog
ress toward passage Of the cabinets
program measures.
Seizes Favorable Moment.
M. Chautemps seized favorable mo-
ment for the vote after he had made
stirring appeal to the patriotism of
the deputies IN the presence of what he
termed "a grave situation abroad" re-
ferring to Chancellor Hitler of Germany
and "the menace to our finances"
The large vote generally was attri-
buted to the political aspects involved,
instead of to real sentiment of ap-
proval of cabinet policy.
The main group Of Socialists In the
Chamber, who had opposed the pay cut
proposal, refused to enter the hall after
they had walked out last night.
This weakened the opposition to the
governments plan and the parties OF
the right approved the pay cut although
disapproval of the whole measure was
expressed.
Real Test Tomorrow.
The real test Of government strength
was expected tomorrow when increased
taxation proposals are to be consid-
cred.
The orthodox Socialists, stung by the
taunts of the Socialist wing supporting
the government after the former con-
tingent had promised to abstain from
voting yesterday, stormed angrily from
the Chamber with threats to vote
against the bill.
Thus, up until few minutes before
the vote today. the government was
believed trembling in the balance In
the face of doubt occasioned partly by
concern over what the orthodox Social
lists might do.

behind the measure"
He added the Agriculture Depart
ment should be satisfied with sub

Hearings on the measure were held
yesterday and Thursday before e Sem

Just before the Senate hearing closed
last night, two witnesses demanded that
Senator Copeland, Democrat, New York,

The demand was made by Arthur

Copeland could not give fair considera-
ton to the bill because he was being
paid for appearing on the radio for a

Under N.R.A. Cited

Boosts to Sept. Is.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December "a wide
number Of wage increases and IAN in
significant number of decreases" for the
month ended September is were re-
ported today by the Labor Bureau, In
corporated. in its monthly review.
There has been little change In
earnings and employment-the former
having risen and the latter having fall
en- slightly" said the review. Indus
trial production continued its fall in
October, but early indications are that
in November the curve has fiattened
out. Business. having dropped from the
prematurely high peak of July, seems
to have reached a low plateau"
Discussing increase Of corporate prof.
its during the third quarter of 1888, the
review says, "the net result of the
N. r. A. has been to increase the mar
gin Of profit on articles sold, rather
than to decrease 1t. The fact that this
has been accomplished by decline in
the volume of production would iLdi-
cate that the way to stimulate revival
is not to increase profit margins, but
rather the reverse"
