WEST AWAITS
GRID DEBUT
TOMORROW

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22.-The
overture ended, the stage is set,
the players are ready!
And an anxious audience
awaits the ringing up of the cur
tain on the coasts 1888 football
season!
What have back-stage observa-
tions disclosed?
Once again we find the Univer-
sity Of Southern CALIFORNIA; Tro-
jams in a feature role, ready to
defend their national champion
ship laurels of the last two years.
And it doesn't look as though any
team on the Pacific Coast, or even
Notre Dame in the Midwest, can
dispute the claim of the title
holders.
Many believe this should be the
strongest team Howard Jones has
produced since coming to the
Coast eight years tgo
Griffith and Warburton will be
the sparks Of the backfield, with
Rosenberg, guard; Palmer, end;
and Erskine, tackle; as the key
men of the line, according to
early season dope
While a majority of critics pick
Washington State as the toughest
team of the Northwest, many
others string along with the
huskies of Washington.
st. Mary's with the heaviest
team on the Coast and Madigan's
new offense, would be even more
of a threat if PraSnyo, Giant
guard, and Garbo. veteran full
back, were not out of the season
with illness and injuries.
California looks like the team
with the one best chance of beat
ing the Trojans. Southern Cali
fornia must invade the lair of
the Golden Bears, a 'jinx' assign
ment in itself.

HOWARD NEEDS
L|NEMEN

About so candidates reported
to Coach Bob Verdell as the How
ard University Bisons started foot
ball practice.
With most of the line lost
through graduation, Verdell is up
against a tough proposition in
getting the Bisons lined up for
what seems like a hard schedule
this year. Payton and Greenlee,
co.captains and tackles, who
graduated, will be missed consid-
erably.
Last year Howard had only one
quarterback and this year they
have none. Finding a new field
general Is another one of Yer
dell's hard problems. TarZan
Johnson, captain elect, and the
best defensive backfield man last
season will have with him as a
running mate Sewell, a former
Dunbar Eigh School star, who
showed up we'll last year.
The BisonS will open their sea-
son october ID, with St. Paul

MINISTER AND AIDES
HELD AFTER MURDER
Jonesboro Tabernacle Turbulence
Continues With Death of.
Janitor in Fight.
BY the Associated Press.


JONESBORO, Ark, October IA
Two followers Of Rev. Dale S. Crowley
in his turbulent campaign to retain the
pastorate of the Jonesboro Baptist
Tabernacle were arrested on accessory
to murder charges today after the
minister had been ordered held for the
grand jury on a first-degree murder
charge for the staying of J. w. Mac
Murdo, aged janitor of the church.
L. H. Kayre, building contractor
whom Crowley cerdited with saving his
life during the shooting at the taber-
nacle Tuesday night, and Tom Carter,
former deputy sheriff and watchman
at the church when Crowley was in
control. were taken into custody on
warrants issued by A. U. Tadlock, dep
uty prosecuting attorney.
Tadlock said the warrants were
based on evidence that Carter struck
MacMurdo over the head with a
blackjack" and Kayre hit him with
. walking cane both before and after
he was shot by Crowley:
Municipal Judge William Carroll or
dered Crowley held after q preliminary
hearing at which no testimony was
offered in the pastors defense. His
attorneys announced they would seek
next week to have him released under
bond.
Kayre and Carter were with the
minister when he went to the taber-
nacle to take possession again after
the Chancery Court had terminated his
legal fight for the pastorate by recog-
nizing him Is pastor. MacMurdo had
been living at the tabernacle and doing
janitor work while the faction headed
by the Rev. Joe Jeffers, evangelist and
founder Of the church, was in control
The shooting followed Crowley's or
der to MacMurdo to leave.

GOVERNMENT BANK
BEING CONSIDERED
Plan Would Have R. F. c. Ad-
vance Debentures to
3 Hasten Openings.
TWO HQlRs SET AFIRE BY FAILING sHIP.
BY the Associated Press.


An obscure law intended to help Dis
trict banks through last Springs bank
ing emergency may be made the basis
Of the new Government bank which
officials are discussing as a means Of
placing weak and closed banks in q
sound position.
This approach to the problem IS one
of several under consideration. Attor.
ney General Cummings said yesterday
he had talked over possibilities with
administration financial advisers but
had not been asked for a forma.
opinion.
The idea was advanced as a means
of meeting legal restrictions on the
marketing of the debentures. or un.
secured bonds, of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. The Recon.
struction Finance Corporation act
stipulates that these are not to be dis
counted by the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, but some officials argue that the
provision was nulified by later emer-
gency legislation.
Plan Still Tentative.
The plan, still tentative, Is to have
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
advance debentures in making loans te
banks and in buying their capital
stock. The banks in turn would obtain
cash by discounting the debentures at
the new institution.
The latter might be authorized later
to market Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration debentures among banks In .
position to take them and thus augment
its working capital, the debentures COM
ing to it directly from the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation. How the
bulk of the new banks capital Is to be
provided has yet to be decided.
Heretofore, the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation has sold its debentures only
to the Treasury, obtaining in return cash
for its lending activities.
VIII Be Clearing House.
In addition to handling the deben-
lures, the new bank also is expected to
serve as clearing house for frozen
assets, mostly real estate mortgages
which are impeding the reopening OF
many banks.
President Roosevelt discussed the plan
for helping closed banks yesterday with
three New York bankers and Chairman
Jones of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. An announcement Is ex-
pected this week.
Those attending the conference In
cluded James H. Perkins. president OF
the National City Bank; william @. Pot
ter, president Of the Guaranty Trust Co.
and Percy H. Johnston, president of the
Chemical Bank & Trust Co.

Pay at Relief Agencies Is Ex.

The study instituted several weeks

gency agencies into line with those paid
in the regular Government establish
ments Is expected to be completed in
about week, it was said yesterday.
The proposed scale then Is to be pre-
sented to President Roosevelt for ap-
proval and adoption.
The survey was instituted by the
Cabinet Advisory Council and Is In
charge Of representatives OF the emer-
gency group, assisted by Civil Service
Commission classification experts. It
was prompted by the fact that these
salaries are not subject to the classic
cation law nor to the is per cent econ
omy cut.
This latter fact will make necessary
some arrangement under which any
emergency workers whose salaries may
be reduced to make them comparable
to those In the regular establishments
will, carrespendingly, get an adjust
ment inward If and when the is per
cent pay cut or any part Of 1t Is re-
stored Under present law, raises are
barred. It is intended. however, to fix
this up equitahly SO that discrimination
