moan then. For the facilities and
talent were discouraging. But
that was three or four years ago
when neither school had a sta.
dunn.
Today the situation is entirely
changed. Both coaches look out
on beautiful practice sites now,
and although they realize they
still have long ways to go be-
fore developing prize track teams,
they are comforted with the
thought that conditions are bet.
ter.
On the strength of this, both
schools have entered into the
cinder path game with more en-
thusiasm than ever before. Can
didates of large number have
turned out at the two institutions.
Extensive schedules have been ar
ranged-all in the idea of build
ing up the sport to the letter,
come another couple of years.
Rider Schedule Big
Roosevelt's schedule for the
year looms particularly large.
Today, for example, the team en-
cages in quadrangular meet at
the Eastern Stadium against
Western, Westinghouse High
and Alexandria High.
Forest Park is listed at Balti-
more, May 3 while the following
day entries will compete in the
interscholastics at Maryland Uni
versity. Concluding the schedule
are meets with Kendall School
at Roosevelt, May 8; Alexandria
High, at Roosevelt, May IS; the
Central &C" Club games at Cen
trail, May 18, and the inter-high
meet at Central, May "a.
Could you imagine Roosevelt
going in for track in this manner
three or four years ago?
Westerns Array Strong
Westerns lineup, after today's
meet, includes the Central &C"
Club games, the inter-high meet
and the Maryland Interscholas'
tics. This is quite a lineup for
the Georgetowners also.
Roosevelt will send such fellows
as Joe Spelta, pole vault; Bill
Marlowe, quarter miller; Frank
Witt, shot-put; Spero Kolius, dis
Gus; Mauren Seaver, dash; George
Simpson, hurdler. and George
Schmidt, 220, in today's meet at
western.
Western will depend upon
Charlie Wells, miller; Bob Green
wood, half-miler; Tom Allen and
James Parks, hurdlers; Brownie
Sullivan, discus; Tom Wright,
shot put: Phil Crabbe, javelin;
kim" Scrivener, broad jump:
Gait Nichols, hurdler; Logan
Owens, hurdler and Jim Farquha-
son, half-miler. among others.

LEGISLATIVE PLANS
Sends Word to Congress az to
His Position; Session May
Last Months

washington, April lO.-(P)-Capito
Hill had word straight from the White
House Wednesday that President
Roosevelt hopes congress will enact all
his legislative program at this session.
This development followed dis
closure several days ago that Demo-
cratic leaders. concerned over the slow
progress congress has made on admin
istration legislation, were considering
asking the president to scrap some
controversial measures until the next
session.
In his first. post-vacation confer
ence with congressional leaders Tues.
day night, the president took his stand
despite anxiety in congress lest his
insistence should prolong the session
until August or September.
So Wednesday the program of the
leaders still lined up about like this:
I. MIRA extension.
2. Social security legislation.
3. Utilities holding company legis-
lation.
1. An extension Of Washington's
authority over banking. along with an
increase in the capital of the home
owners loan corporation and legisla-
ton making permanent the present
temporary bank deposit insurance.
S. Readjustment Of ship subsidy
policy.
6. Extension Of $4,000, 900 in
nuisance" taxes with more added if
congress persists in spending more
than the president contemplated in
his budget.
That program was outlined in the
presidents first talk with congress-
ional leaders-about five hours after
he returned from the Florida vaca-
ton trip.
