TREASURY PLAN
EASES PAINS
OF DEBTOR
BY J. EARLE MOSER


Frank A. Bergreld, Treasury
chief clerk who recently headed
a subcommittee of Federal Off
cials in a conference with District
Commissioner George E. Allen
over the question of evasion of
debts by some Government en-
ployes, thinks the entire matter
overrated.
I'm this Department at least, Z"
he said recently, I'VE have very
little trouble with the question" F."
"Of course, no Government Of
flee should be turned into a col
lection agency, but on the other
hand, life is short and people will
contract debts; many times they
are forced to by some unforeseen
circumstance"
While he would not comment on
what definite plan is to be set up
by the White House for debt
control" the Treasury chieftain re-
vealed that when an employe, for
one reason or another, finds liabil'
tiles begging him down, the office
will step in and set up a system
of liquidation.
With the workers consent, a
reasonable sum is deducted each
pay day and prorated among
creditors until all Is serene. With
out the aforesaid consent. matters
become complicated-but it's
usually given unless there is some
reason for a countercharge against
the creditor.
Similarly to the leave-before-
holidays problem, a uniform
method of handling debt cases is
undoubtedly needed, however. AT
present, various offices have vari-
ous habits of handling claims
against workers. sometimes unjust
either to debtor or creditor. Exec
utive action will probably clear
everything shortly.

A total of 10000 bushels of

The Nationals manager has Moth

Harris has decided that he must
retain all three catchers now at

Redmond gets a break, for early in

the club could get along with two
receivers and he believed Sam Hol-
brook should be the reservist to call

commission.
Holbrook has been standout
among the newcomers to the Wash

he came to the Nationals with a fine

INFIELD GIVES DUKE
DIAMOND PROBLEM
Two Important Cogs to Replace.
Pitching Strong and Other
Jobs Well Filled.

URBAN, N. c., March 15-Duke
- Universitys 1885 base ball team,
which visits Georgetown April
% and Maryland the next day, should
be about on par with last years dia-
mond outfit if the pitchers come
through as expected. This is the
opinion of the Blue Devils tutor,
John w. Coombs.
Starting his seventh year at Duke,
Coombs has veterans to do the pitch
ing, the catching and to patrol the
outfleld. His problem is in the in
field where two outstanding per-
formers are missing.
The first base job, filled for three
years by Phil Weaver, and third, at
which Horace Hendrickson performed
during his college career, are wide
open posts.
There are three sophomores being
tried at first-Herbert Cheek, Joe
Davis and Charlie Burnham. Sam
Bell. second-sacker last year, has been
shifted to third and will battle it out
for that job with John Shortell, re-
serve last year.
Rounding out the infield will be
Wayne Amber, sophomore, or Joe
Taylor, senior, at second and Dave
Michael, senior, or Claude Corbitt,
junior, at short.
Candidates for the outfield jobs are
Bill Huiskamp, Earle Wentz, Corky
Cornelius, all lettermen, and Carl
Huiskamp, sophomore.
Ken Weafer, undefeated in six
games last season, Reynolds May,
beaten only once in six, and Pete
Naktenis, who was an undefeated
sophomore last year, are the vet
erans of the pitching staff. George
Barley, who had fine record as a
freshman last year, probably will be
the fourth member.
Capt Ty Wagner will do the catch
ing with AL Konopka, Junior, as re-
lief man.

ID Grand National Point to Point,
one of the foremost steeplechases
in the country, will be run April 20
over a new course laid out on the
farm of William R. Whittingham,

For the past IS years, the Grand
National has been held on the Brook
landville estate of Mrs. Isaac E. Emer-
son. The committee said "a strong
feeling of dissatisfaction" has existed
because spectators could not see the
entire course and horses were required
to negotiate numerous sharp turns.
Located within the fox-hunting
country of the Green Spring Valley
hounds, the Whittingham place,
known as Hereford Farm, consists of
more than 400 acres in the shape of
great bowl with the 200-year-old resi-
dence and barns in the center. It is
