 Being busted as manager of the St Louis Cardinals in favor of Rogers Hornsby while the club was on the road fin mid-season, 1925, was a sad blow to the pride of the spirited Branch Hickey.
 It branded Hickey as failure as handler of players and direc- tor of play. The theorists short- comings as a leader seemed to be stressed by the athletes rallying around Hornsby, and, presenting an harmonious and united front, sweeping from the cellar to fourth place.
 Everybody was positive that something had been wrong with the management and Hornsby was hailed as a wonder when he pre- scented St Louis with the first of is five pennants and three world championships in 1926.
 What hurt Hickey was the man. ner of his dismissal by President Sam Breadon. He seriously had considered stepping down as man. ager at the conclusion of the cam- paign of 1924.

Daytona Beach, Fla, March S. (UP)-Sir Malcolm Campbell and Bluebird never will rocket across the sands of Daytona Beach at 300 miles an hour.
 That's the truth even if the Brit ish racing king won't admit it. Bluebird is capable of 300, yes. And Campbell is game enough to pilot a car at that speed, yes. But the beach, shaped by the elements, is not perfect enough for that kind of speed. At 200, the beach is love. ly. So is the car. At 250 even, it's still lovely. But at speeds above that, minor defects are magnified to an extent that 300 is out of the question.
 One has only to study a chart of CampbelPs record-breaking run of 276.816 yesterday to realize this. ic Rrek.

And what happens? Her wheels start spinning, she bounces at the slightest excuse. And remember the only difference between 270 miles an hour and 300 miles an hour is the time it takes to drop the arm.

Governor Issues Scathing State
ment Attacking Plan To Block
Budget
By GEORGE E. HELMER
United Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, May 81. - Gov
ernor Frank F.. Merriam entered
the legislative budget fight today
when he issued a scathing state
ment against Epic Democrats,
whom he described as IAN irrespon-
sible, destructive minority" which
has sought to block passage of the
budget bill and delay indefinitely
final accomplishments of the leg
iSlature.
Representative government in
California has been openly chal-
lenged by a small, obstructionist
minority of the state legislature, y
Merriam said in his Statement-the
first he has issued concerning the
budget or revenue plans since he
delivered his budget message in
January.
Those leading this destructive
movement are not representative
of, nor are they responsible to any
political party, and they have
adopted tactics which would strike
at the very foundation of our gov
ernmental system.
They are attempting to force
the legislature to adopt a course
exactly opposite to that which a
majority of the senate and assem-
bly, desire to follow.
This miSchievous and disruptive
adventure was conceived by few
legislators who succeeded in obtain
ing the signatures of others to a
documents pledging the signers to
obstruct general legislation until
certain ends could be attained.
This small band of self-pro-
claimed custodianS of public well
fare are going to extreme lengths
in an effort TO force their will upon
a majority which has no sympathy
with their activities and no conf
dence in their proposals.
And now, with pressing necessity
for immediate disposal of the i'm
portant business remaining before
the legislature, the dogin-the man
ger attitude Of the obStructioniSt
minority constitutes genuine
threat to orderly administration of
all state departments"
He referred to ASsemblyman Will
liam Moseley Jones, Epic-Demo-
cratic leader, and other members of
the lower house who threatened to
block passage of the all-important
budget bill until the legislature
has approved certain tax and So
rial security measures demanded
by Democrats.

RICHBERG Is DETECTED
Administration Legal Minds
Believe Decision Means Doom
OF NRA

WASHINGTON, May 81. DIP
The new deal" went down to de-
feat on a rest of the NRA before
the supreme court today when the
tribunal ruled unanimously that
the code making authority was an
improper delegation Of power and
all but barred federal legislation
on wages and hours of labor.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes read the opinion. Justices
Harlan F. Stone and Benjamin N.
Cardozo concurred in its results in
separate opinion. -
Brifley, the court ruled that: a
Congress had exceeded its AUTH
ority when it delegated to the ex-
ecutive branch of the government
power to promulgate codes of fair
competition having the force of law
because it did not set up standards
to guide the executive, and for sew
eral other reasons. ~
The federal government has no
power to regulate hours and wages
in transactions affecting interstate
commerce.
Donald Richberg, chief of the
National Recovery Administration,
who was present in the court room,
was much shaken.
He refused to comment
Lawyers close to the administra-
ton were of the initial opinion
that the decision doomed the NRA
to extinction.
The direct result of the decision
! was to reverse the convictions of
the defendants in the Schechter
live poultry case on 18 counts in
volving wage. and hour provisions
of the live poultry code and unfair
trade practices including the sale
of diseased fowl.
Richberg left the court room in
an attitude of deep detection. He
was accompanied by his wife.
Head bowed, he brushed past
questioners who asked for a state
ment.
"I1l have to read the decision
carefully first" he said.
The administrations setback was
far more complete than hud been
anticipated.

nation that may lead to a round

terrorism, during which the bank
er, his family and heads of 35
branch banks were threatened with
death in anonymous notes and by
mysterious telephone calls. Anoth-
er escaped serious injury when
bullet hit his badge and glanced.
Ivey, president of the Citizens
Trust and Savings bank, escaped
the gang two weeks ago when
man called at his San Marino home
and thrust a gun in his face. Ivey
grabbed the gun and the intruder
and companion fled.
Note Makes Threats
That attempt was followed by a
note from the gang (verbatim)
you have not escaped our hands
yet old man. The only reason you
didn't get the works was the gun
failed to work. Next time it will
be different. We have plenty of
stuff to start a young war and we
intend to do it if necessary. Now if
you don't follow instructions it will
cost you hell of lot more in the

the branch men. We mean business

under instructions of federal agents.

TACOMA, Wash, May 81. U.P)-
First tangible clew in the George
Philip Weyerhaeuser kidnapping was
revealed today when it was learned
the boy was seen in an automobile
headed north from the Annie
Wright seminary few minutes af-
ter he was kidnapped last Friday.
There were three men in the car
with the boy.
A north end resident, whose iden-
tity was guarded closely, told au-
thorities he was positive he recog-
nized the nine-year-old scion of the
WeyerhaueSer timber family in the
rear of a car. Beside him was one
man, and there were two in the
front seat.
Description of the Car and the
men, said 70 be quite complete, was
not revealed by department of JUS
tice agents. Whether or not it was
a tan sedan with a California Ii
cense, reported seen near the Low
ell school prior to the abduction,
could not be determined.
The informant said his attention
was attracted to the car when it
rounded the corner of North Ia
coma avenue and 18th street, a
short distance from the seminary,
at an unusual high rate of speed.
