n ONDON. July 21--Handicapped
by a knee operation which was
thought to have robbed him OF
IL much of his speed, Jack Love-
lock. New Zealand schoolmaS-
ter and oxford student today out
raced Bill Bonthron. one OF America S
greatest milers, for the second straight
year to help give the track and field
stars of oxford Cambridge victory over
Princeton Cornell.
Meeting in the seventh renewal OF
an international inter varsity series
begun in 1921, Lovelock defeated Bon
thron by yard in minutes l5.4 sec
onds. a far cry from his 4:07.6 record
mile victory of last year at Princeton,
but not bad time over an inferior
track made slow by an overnight rain
The track probably was not entirely
to blame for the slow time, Bonthron
and Lovelock never running against
the clock. but only fast enough to win.
Jack displayed a better finishing
sprint than the famed stretch kick Of
Bonny Bill of Princeton.
BOnthrOn Twice Licked.
TT WAS a sad day for Bonthron. as
well as his Princeton-Cornell
teammates, for he also ran sec
ond in the s80-yard run, falling to
overtake J. C. Stothard of Cambridge
in a sprint for the tape. The time
for that also was slow, 1894.
The English university stars ended
the day with seven victories to five for
the visitors, only first places counting,
Princeton Cornell won last year. 8
to 4.
A decisive factor In the Oxford
Cambridge victory was Charles STAN
wood, a former star at Bowdotn Col
lege in Maine, who won both the 100
yard high and the 220-yard low hur-
dies for the only double triumph of
the meet. Stanwood now is a Rhode
scholar at oxford.
The other victories for the winners
we're scored by E. 1. Davis in the 220-
yard dash, P. D. Ward in the 3-mile
run and K. S. Duncan in the broad

Laundry Code Keeps Down
Buying Power in I h e
South.

WASHINGTON, February 27 &c
NS)-The wage differentials in the
Laundry Code signed the past week
by President Roosevelt with a note
of apology from the NRA, are called
ridiculous" and the News and OBJ
server of Raleigh, North Carolina,
protests that 1t like the sixty-odd
othe code differentials keeps the
South the poverty stricken, under
privileged, poor black and white sec
tions Of America" 1t is pointed out
1hat while laundry workers in the
North will receive a minimum wage
Of thirty cents an hour, those in the
South must subsist on a minimum Of
fourteen cents. It goes without say
ing, of course, that the minimum
wage which laundry operators will
permit the thousands of Negro men
and women working in that industry
to earn.
The News and Observer says;
'pThis Southern wage differential is
fast becoming one Of the most dis
creditable features Of the whole NRA
If it were a definite thing
based upon definite studies asd find
ings as to costs Of living and eff
cheney of labor, such a ~differential
might be justified as representing q
gradual lifting Of wages and living
standards in various sections from ar
uneven past. AS a matter OF fact
however, the South set up in the
codes is a region so nebulous and Sc
diverse that it means little more
than the success of some unwilling
employers to pay such wages a.
would carry out the purposes O
NRA itself.

Two potential courses of action
when the Senate disclosures concern
must have occurred to the President
ing the air mail contracts were
brought before him. One was to fer
ret out the guilty and punish them
The other was to cancel all con-
tracts, good and bad, and turn the
carrying of the mail ove to the
army. The President took the latter
course-and started the hottest bat
tie of his Administration.
AS usual there are two sides to ev-
cry matter. The Senate disclosures
are sensational. Fund and collision
are charged along with terrific pro-
fits through speculation and pro-
motion. In one case it is alleged that
a few hundred dollars was run up to
a paper total of some twenty million
while the government was paying
heavy subsidies on the grounds that
they we're essential to the develop
ment of commercial aviation.
But it has not yet been proven that
all the operators are crooked. To
cancel every contract, Jumping the
good with the bad, is punishment of
an unprecedented sort. That was
what the Lindbergh telegram COM
planned about. 1t threw a bombshell
into the proceedings-and it created
a highly dramatic situation in which
the most famous private citizens and
the head of the government clashed
violently. The Colonel laid himself
open to criticism on the grounds that
the giving Of the telegram to the
press before it reached the White
House was a breach Of ethics and
that in being associated with an in
terested company he was a biased
party. Opinion seems to be about
evenly divided-half lining up with
the President, the other half with the
Colonel. The belief is expressed that
the presidents action vas certainly
drastic on innocent stockholders-but
that Spartan means to get graft ut
of government are essential.
At this writing, the fight is NOV
ING in the courts. Government won
the first victory, when a plea Of
Transcontinental Western Air to re
strain the order was refused.
A determining factor in arrivinv at q
basis for future air mail contracts
will be the efficiency Of the army II
handling the mail. It's ships are slow
er than those of private operators
though it is hoped that this will be
offset by shorter tops due to elimin.
alton of passenger service. The frs
schedules are pretty sketchy in view
of past private service-many points
will be lett off the map, at least tx
begin with, and flights will be fewel
in number. Army air heads are wor
ried by the fact that their pilots arr
young and inexperienced for TIL
most part when it to this kin'
of flying and are starting at a baC
time Of year. Three were immediate
" killed enroute to posts in Idaho
and Utah.
The cancellation order was vague
ly worded, left room for new private
eonracts if they are demanded ant
are necessary. 1t seecs certain, IL
that case, that the subsidy system i
to be dicarded, that the fixed pric
basis will prevail, that smaller con
Germs will be given a break in OBJ
tanning contracts.
