TERPS, CARDS
WILL FACE
RIVALS

Boxing-one of the most color
full Of all sports, gets in several
interesting innings this weekend
when the teams representing
Maryland and Catholic Uni
versity entertain opponents from
Duke and V. M. 1 respectively. .
Maryland's test comes tomor-
row night when Dukes ringmen
will be met at Richie Coliseum.
College Park, Md. Catholic Uni
versity's team gets into action
Saturday night when v. M. I. is
brought into the ring at the C. U.
gymnasium.
Maryland's program will be
part of an elaborate athletic night
as after the boxing matches will
be a most important basketball
game between the Maryland Uni
versity and Catholi; University
fives. This contest will easily
fall into the natural" class as
both teams have made envious
records on, the boards this sea-
son, and besides this point, are
torrid rivals.
First Since Army
When the Maryland boxing
team begins it's bouts against
Duke, the performers will be max
ing their first appearance since
the Army matches, in which the
West Pointers won by 6 to 2
count.
The youngsters, undismayed by
this defeat, will be out to conquer
the Blue Devils, and they will
stand an excellent chance, as sew
eral promising glove-men are
among the group, coached by
Jack Harmony.
Harry Carroll, 125-pounder, and
Stewart McCaw, 175-pounder.
winners in their bouts against
Army, are among these, while
Harris, Babcock, Webb, McAboy,
Hawkins and Stalfort, are not the
WOAOG OOAC4O AL G4AC WOAAN.
Depend on Pyne
Catholic University will de-
pend upon Danny Pyne as it's
chief threat against V. M. I.
This veteran recently returned
to the Brookland institution and
is expected to hold up large
honors in the heavyweight divi-
sion.
The remainder of the Cardinal
lineup will find Johnny Bruton
fighting in the 115-pound class;
Bill Calabrese in the 125-pound
division; Eddie Thibedeau, 1885,
pound class; Ed Bresnahan, 145-
pound division; Red Barron, 1856
pound class; Dan Mulligan, 1866
pound class, and Jim Fleming,
175-pound division.
Coach Eddie LaFond has had
his team practicing earnestly all
week for this important test and
he holds hopes that an even
break will be gained, if not a
close victory.

FACING
GALLAGHER

One of the promising heavy
weights of the ring game may be
paraded at Portner's Arena for
the benefit of Washington fans
IN the near future if Marty Gal
lagher wins over Les Kennedy in
their 10-round windup at Alexan-
dria Tuesday.
Portner officials have virtually
assured Gallagher that if he comes
through triumphant over Kennedy
he will be given a shot at Ray I'M
pellitierre, giant West Point bat
tier.
The District Irishman won the
verdict over Les at Portner's some
time ago It was an eight-round
bout, which Kennedy claims to
have been too short for him. He
needs a longer route to warm up,
he says, and Tuesdays 10 he says
are just about enough.

windup with performance some

PREXY PLANS
EARLIER
START
By GARRETT WATERS

One look at the near-zero
weather this week enabled Clark
Griffith. president Of the wash
ington Baseball Club, to reach q
definite decision today.
That decision was to leave for
Biloxi, Miss, the yearly training
base of the Griffmen, Saturday.
Departing for the South earlier
than the rest of the gang is a ira
ditional custom with Griff, but to
leave earlier than usual is prece-
dent which the preXy is establish
ing this year, because of a desire
to rest up bit before tackilng
the tasks which always are a part
Of an executives duties after the
start of the training season.
Eynon To Be Boss
Griff will leave most of the
clubs contract business into the
hands of Secretary Eddie Eynon
on his departure. That is, he'll
leave all that does not become
serious discussion, serious dis
cussion in this instance meaning
private meetings and correspond
ence with players dissatisfied
with contract terms offered them.
Said Griff today:
"Although the contracts are
coming in rather slowly right
now, 1 really don't believe
thereN he any trouble with the
players. None of them are
getting drastic cuts and / think
by the time the training sea-
son starts in earnest every man
will be in line and ready to
go as always in the past"
While on this subject, eight OF
teams roster are in the fold to-
day. They are Ossie Bluege,
third sacker, and Fred Schultz,
outfielder, of the regulars, and
Monte Weaver, Ray Prim, Hal
McKain, Eddie Linke, Ed Chap
man, pitchers, and Johnny Kerr,
utility infielder, OF the other de-
partments.
Almost WnOAe 1eam
This leaves almost the entire
team on the outside including OUT
fielders Heine Manush, Dave Har-
ris and Johnny Stone; infielders,
Joe Kuhel, Buddy Myer, Bob Boz
ken and Cecil Travis; catchers.
Luke Sewell, Moe Berg and Cliff
Bolton; and pitchers, Earl White
hill, Walter Stewart, Alvin Crow
der, AL Thomas, Jack Russell, Bob
Burke, and Ed McColl.
Last year practically every man
was signed before he started for
training camp. There happened
to be one or two exceptions, but
all serious discussion was re-
verted by the time the principals
got into confab with PreXy Crit
fifth, either after their arrival at
Biloxi, or just before their de-
parture for the Mississippi base.
It is this thought that Griff
will leave behind him when he
wanders off to Biloxi on Satur-
day. He knows one or two of his
men are more than little con-
cerned over their contracts right
now, Bob Boken, as a special local
example, but he's confident-and
not in a boastful Way-that all
will be well by the time the old
season gets into the systems Of
his men.

LOUGHRAN WIDOW
WINS ESTATE SUIT
High Court Holds She Is En-.
titled to Share Property
of TobacconiSt.

Mrs. Ruth Loughran, widow of
Daniel Loughran, jr., won long
court battle yesterday, when the
United States Supreme Court reversed
the District Court of Appeals, and
held she is entitled to a share of the
estate of Daniel Loughran, sr., former
head Of D. Loughran Co., tobacco
merchants.
Mrs. Loughran had been divorced
in Alexandria, Va, by former hus-
band before her marriage to Lough-
ran in Florida. The District Court OF
Appeals held the second marriage IL
legal under District law and denied
her right to share in the estate. valued
at approximately a million dollars.
The Supreme Court, in a decision
given by Justice Brandeis, held the
Florida marriage valid because it was
a bona flde contract under the laws
of that State and was not affected by
District statutes.
Equity does not demand" the
opinion stated, that those seeking re-
lief under it should have led blame

on which courts refuse relief, is a

POORHOUSES MAY GO

VOU can get notion of what Federal
u old-age pension law might accomplish by
looking at the program drawn up by Ohio au-
thorities, who are administering new state
old-age pension law.
Just now they are classifying all occupants
OF poorhouses, to see how many of them are
eligible for such pensions. Before long, thou
sands of these pitiful old paupers will be out
of the poorhouses, living self-respecting lives
in their own communities. Eventually, the au-
thorities believe, the poorhouses can be largely
abolished.
Such program has two great advantages.
1t is infinitely kinder to the aged themselves
and it is cheaper for the community as a
whole. To embody the old-age pension plan
in Federal law would be to take a vast step
forward.

OVER-RATED MENACE

FULLY 100000 Communists and active SYM
l. pathizers with Communism are working
now to overthrow the American government
and the American social and economic system,
according to a warning issued by E. r. West,
president of the United States Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
Since it took only about 10000 such revolu-
tionists to accomplish the overthrow of the
Kerensky government in 1918, Mr.. West feels
that this represents pretty alarming menace
to American institutions.
1t is little hard to share his fear for two
reasons First. it is pretty clear that this esti-
mate of Communist strength is greatly exag-
gerated. Second, the 10000 Reds who upset
Kerensky had different medium in which to
operate than American revolutionists have.
They lived in society which had proved its
own bankruptcy beyond dispute, and the over
whelming majority of Russians were so des-
perate that they preferred to try the widest
experiment rather than remain as they were.
That isn't even remotely true in America to-
day; until it is, the Communist menace" can't
be very alarming

NO WHEAT PACT

EAILURE 20 reach an agreement at the
Budapest conference does not mean that
cooperation among the wheat-producing
countries is no longer possible. A solution may
come out of next years conferences.
1t is not our fault that the 1884 export
and acreage agreement went on the rocks. But
it should be said that a drought and a short
crop made our compliance easy. while a
bumper crop practically compelled Argentina
to increase her exports.
Thanks to flexible and intellgently adj
ministered farm program, the United States
will be able next year to agree to any reason
able compact And if no International agree
ment is reached, We can speedily adjust our
production plans to compete for our share in
the world markets.
With the American wheat price pegged
above the world price, it may be necessary to
prepare for the possible wheat war by arrang-
ing for an export bounty in some form. While
we hope this will not be necessary, it is an
alternative to be considered by Congress this
winter.

The plan is for the Relief Administration
to buy up prison-made garments at declining
volume over two years, for distribution to the
destitute. This would remove from market
competition a flood of cotton garments, espe-
cially some % million work shirts now poured
annually into free markets from prison mills
Then, for permanent reorganization of the
factories in state prisons it is urged that the
Public Works Administrs ton set aside S50,O0O,-

governments can consume without putting any
of them on the open market. An added adj
vantage would be adequate vocational training
for prisoners.
Here is the best answer we have seen to
both the emergency and continuing prob

PENSIONS AND INSURANCE

THE question has been raised whether the
l. next Congress should provide old age
security through Federal aid to old age pension
states, or through national contributory in
surance system The answer is simple. It
should do both.
Pensions for INDECENT aged have come to be
the accepted American substitute for poor
house relief. Pension laws have been enacted
in 20 states. These states, however need Fed
eral help. Due to fiscal difficulties the pension
systems are fully operative in only 10 of these
20 states. In the II others the aged poor are
cared for under general poor relief.
Pensions are pitifully inadequate in many
states. Last year they averaged only $3.50 a
month, and in some states were ST monthly.
Today some 100000 Americans past IS are
on Federal relief. Only about 10000 men and
women past IS are getting pensions.
The Government should contribute to state
pension funds, at least as generously as was
proposed in the Dill-Connery bill This aid
would tend to bring non-pension states into a
national system. Moreover, it would fix mini
mum rates and standards at a better level.
But such aid to state pension systems based
on the means or pauper test is inadequate. A
national system of contributory old age in
surance also should be started now.
Unless an insurance system is provided, the
cost of old age relief threatens to swamp tax
payers in a few years. Of the 100000 Amer
leans past IS at least 100000 are needy. I'm
less younger workers soon start contributing
to a nationally administered insurance fund,
the number will increase to staggering bur-
den, Such a security fund, based on earnings
and not on a means test, could create back
log against old age dependency, conserve the
workers self-respect, and save billions of dol
lars in relief.
Fortunately Americas very neglect of her
workers security now gives her an opportunity
to profit by other nations experiences. All of
the important industrial countries have old
age insurance systems. Only few of the nom
industrial ones have the single pension system.
We shall find it necessary, as have both Eng
land and France, to retain the pension system
and to aid the insurance system.
The two systems are not conflicting They
are supplemental.
