tests from Class A squads, and both
have lost one game to state teams.

three tallies. Score was tied at the
end Of the first quarter s TO s; at
the half, II all. St. Mary's had a
is to Is advantage when the fourth
period started.
The crowd was tense during the
entire game, but especially near the
end. During the last minutes many

one in the audience was yelling.
In the final quarter the Saints
were ahead most of the time. They
pushed their Is points to II; Wah
peton then tied the count with a
field goal, and took the lead BY q
gift shot; the Saints went to ~ and
then to 20; the Wops followed with
another free toss to give the locals
but one-point lead: the advantage

ing for the Saints; Wahpeton gar
nered two shots from the court for
their win.

five of nine attempts. The down-east
team converted three out of four.
With ID points to his credit, Frank
Lee copied the scoring honors in
the contest. His teammate, Art
(Stretch) Hubert, counted six for
the Saints and played exceptional
ball on both offense and defense.
Tommy Lee did not start for the
parochial quint. He has been i'll and

fires of undetermined origin des-
troyed the Standard Oil companys

Explosions of oil and gasoline

scene of the spectacular blaze.
Fircmen we're hampered by the in
tense heat and devoted their ef-
forts to preventing the flames from
spreading.
These were the third fires of
the evening. Earlier blaze OF

Reports from Yuma tocay stated
The fires were believed to be of in
cendiary origin and while police
were seeking clews non had been
discovered
The first fire occurred at 1:30.
That in the Standard Oil COM
pany yard started at 2:57 and al

Because of trouble with men
camped near the city several days
ago it was at first believed they
may have been responsible, but
police expressed themselves as sat-
isfied that men from the camp
did not set the fires.
George Robertson, chief of the

After more than three days in
charge of the service, United States
Army officials reported today that
the air mail was beginning to OPP
crate on an ION schedule basis.
Bad weather has been the chief
foe of the army pilots.
Airport at Newark, Cleveland and
Boston throbbed with activity fol-
lowing the storm which paralyzed
the eastern states and forced post

uration Monday night.
Pilots, mechanics, officials and
clerks at Chicago Kansas City,
Dallas and a half dozen other cities
worked overtime to perfect the
army's system of aerial communi-
cation designed to supplant that
of the private carriers.
Despite five fatalities in the pi-
lots ranks-three of them before
army planes had carried a single
sack of mail-and the confusion
attendant upon setting up nation
wide flying system almost over
night, a survey of the nations
mail terminals disclosed that with

BONUS FORCE
WINS POINT

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. U.p)-
The house ways and means COM
mittee tentatively decided today
against immediate reconsideration
of the $2,4O0,OO0,00O soldiers bonus
bill. In making the decision the
committee removed a major threat
to a house vote on the measure
March IL, under the petition rule.
Chairman Robert l.. Doughton
said the committee said that lead
ers interested in the bonus have
not requested us to act, and there
fore we see no reason to consider
the bill now"
He and other members indicated
they felt that by now considering
the bill they would be using a
subterfuge" to prevent bonus
vote, and would incur justified re-
sentiment from bonus advocates.
The bonus petition, completed
earlier this week, discharged the
committee from control over the
bill, but under parliamentary rules
the committee could "kill' the ef-
feet of the petition by reconsider
ing the measure and reporting it
out. The bonus bloc would then
have been forced to file another
petition, and the bonus vote would
have been delayed at least month.

MOVE
MAY DEVELOP
NEW TROUBLE
Congress And Cabinet Not In
Accord On Course To Be Pur-
sued In Matter.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Feb. %. - Cabi-
net and congress appeared to be III
disagreement today over the next
administration tariff move. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been delaying
a tariff message for almost year.
The certainty of prolonged debate
persuaded the President to with
hold his message altogether from
TIE special session of congress
which sat last spring.
Congressional advice to the PreSl-
dent now is identical with that dur
ing the special session. If he wants
to get congress out of Washington
before June l the controversial IS
sues submitted to congress must be
strictly limited.
Republicans estimate that
month would be required for con-
gressional discussion OF the admin
istrations plan to assign to Mr..
Roosevelt authority to negotiate re-
ciprocal trade agreements. The
congressional situation has Just been
further complicated by submission
of a bitterly disrupted stock c%-
change control bill and bundle of
legislation from the justice depart
ment designed to extend federal po-
lice power to the more offensive
types of racketoering criminality.
Within The cabinet two men arc
seizing every opportunity TO obtain
lower tariffs. Cordell Hull, Secre-
tary of state, and Henry A. Wal
lace, secretary of agriculture, COM
mand the low tariff shock troops.
The latter rumples his hair and
processes bewilderment over tariff
sentiment. Wallace's amazement is
recorded in a pamphlet written by
him for the Foreign Police associa-
ton and World Peace foundation.
1T has astonisked me-" he wrote,
ito find that there is perhaps as
much high tariff sentiment in the
Democratic, and presumably more
agrarian party today as there is
in the Republican party. AS a mat
ter of fact, TIE party lines on this
tariff question seem erased. Tar
ifs have become very largely a
question of local interests and pref
udices."
Wallace states the low tariff case
boldly in this manner:
I'm we'll developed countries like
the United States and England, the
maximum consumers wealth can
best be attained with a low tariff.
This is an economic truism, which
so far as I know is not disputed
except by politicians who have an
axe to grind or those who, like the
farmers of my native Iowa, have
been maze the intellectual, emotion
al and habitual victims OF the class
just mentioned"

FARLEY SAYS
CANCELLATION
HAD To COME
Postmaster General In Speech
Defends Drastic Action Of
Administration On Airmail.
WOULD AVOID HARDSHIPS
Declares Public Will Uphold
Course When All Facts Are
Made Known.

DURHAM, N. c., Feb. %. U.H
"A defense Cf his cancellation OF
commercial airmail contracts was
made today by Postmaster Gener-
al James A. Farley. here today to
participate in dedication of a new
post office.
1T is most gratifying to the
President and the entire admins
tration to know that in this emer-
gency the country is behind the
President" said Farley. THE ad-
ministration in the drastic action
made necessary by the facts in
Volved, has no desire or intention
to work an undue hardship on any
employee of the commercial air
lines of the country, or upon the
stockholders of these airWays.
Legislation and plans are be-
ing worked out as rapidly as poss-
ible and / feel certain that when
the public is in possession, as 1t
will be, of all the facts involved,
the policy of the administration in
annullng these contracts will be
thoroughly understood and our &C
tion approved
Some people nave said that
there is a conflict between the
national recovery drive and the
economy program of the federal
government" said Farley. such a
statement is made without con-
sideration of the fundamental fact
that money spent by the govern
ment is public money. 1t was per-
fcctly apparent to the President
that the very first step upon the
road to recovery was the balancing
of the federal budget by abandon
ment of useless and unnecessary
expenditures"
He said the Presidents sole pur-
pose was to bring about a more
practical realization of the funda-
mental objectives of Americanism."
The principles which were en-
unciated in the Declaration OF In
dependence, and repeated in the
preamble of the constitution OF
the United States are the prin-
ciples of the new deal" said the
postmaster general.
