DEM0LAYS MEET GRAVES IN TOP HOOP ENCOUNTER
Bremen and Concreters to Mix in Other Half of
 Tonight $ Court Bill

In what promises to be the top game of the current City League hoop schedule, the DeMolays meet the H. S. Graves hoopsters in the headline feature of tonight's court program at the High School Gym.
 Although defeated in their debut, the Clothiers have come back strong, and have outclassed the opposition in their later tussles Quite a lineup of stars bears the Graves colors, and just that was mainly responsible for their sole loss; but the Orange-clads have since got together and turned out a smooth working, shifty attack, which, although not quite up to the speed boasted by the DeMolay offense, is backed up by a some what tighter defense than that of the Purple and Gold.
 Graves Attack
 The front line of the Graves att tack is composed of forwards Bill O'Malley and Eddie Lawson, a pair of small, sparkling ball-handers, backed up by Bill Robertson, rangy guard, and with Bob McPhee, tow ering center, as it's spear-head. Op- posed to them will be the stellar DeMolay forward wall, of center Kinky Bayers, last years top SCOT CT, and forwards Bob Davlin and Elmer Lindstrom. At guard, Al Bloomquist also carries strong point getting threat, on the should CTS of Ed Garnick fall most of the Purple and Gold defensive duties, although all of the Lodge quintet are excellent ball-hawks.
 Strong in Reserves
 Both outfits are strong in re- serves, with the DeMolays having perhaps a little the brighter picture there. Backing up the champs starting quintet are: Joe Werner, a very capable center or guard, Buddy Lindstrom, neat forward, and Henning Berggren, a floor covering guard.
 In Jack Gowdy and Gordon Gray the Gravesmen have a guard and a forward who can work into the combination without decreasing it's effectiveness either whit or title.
 The other half of tonight's casaba bill brings together two more City League contestants. both of whom, however, must be rated in the also- ran class as far as the current round of the schedule is concern ed, in the Juneau Bremen and the Krause Concreters.
 COncreters vs. Bremen
 The Concreters and the Bremen should be very evenly matched. Both have proved stronger on de- fense, but both also have potent attacks which are overdue to break loose From former ShoWings, the Concreters appear to have a some what barrier protecting their bas- ket, centering in Ralph Bardi and John Young, two yeoman guards.
 The Smoke-e eaters are the rang lest of the local squads and with Doc Hollmann to lead them on, have proved apt at intercepting opposition thrusts and countering with baskets of their own.

POLICE L|EUTS.
 ARE TO RESIGN
Arthur Warrington, James Murphy to Submit Their
 Papers Tomorrow

Medical reports will be presented to the board of police commission CTS at their regular meeting to- morrow which automatically give authority for the retirement of Lieutenant Arthur Warrington and Detective Lieutenant James Mur- phy. Orders submitting both men to physical examinations were is- sued by the board two weeks ago.
 It was believed today that nc further promotions would be made at tomorrow's meeting. However 1t was pointed out, this is not an assured fact. There is yet pos sibility that the police commission CTS may make more advancements in the department.
 Two Designations
 Furthermore, 1t was said today that so far the only two resigna- tions contemplated for tomorrow's sessions are those of Lieutenants Warrington and Murphy. Very lit. tie likelihood of further retirements existed to day although the admin. istration officials were not definite. ly decided on what moves would bt discussed before tomorrow's session occurs.
 Lieutenant Warrington has beer member of the police department since April 18th, 1913, and was named to his present rank on Mo- vember 18th, 1921. Lieutenant Mur- phy became a member of the de- partment on April 18th, 1913, also and was made a detective lieuten- ant on December 1st, 1921.

 WELL RECEIVED
Admitted Boy Plagiarist Is Surprised at Reception
 Rendered Him

Plattsburg, Mo, April 14-tUP)- Everybody in Plattsburg today went out of his way to make things easy for Lloyd Lewis.
 Lloyd is okay and we're still proud of him." everybody said. "If he did anything wrong, he didn't know it."
 Lloyd, who in his IS years on the farm never before got more than 60 miles away from home, returned today from New York where he was told that in winning Eddie Cantor's peace essay contest he had commit ted an offense called plagiarism.
 His essay on How Can America Stay Out of War" it appears, had been published some time ago by Dr. Frank Kingdom, president of the University of Newark.
 That meant that the $5,000 Schol- arship Lloyd thought was his would go to someone else and Lloyd would have to find some other way of get ting to college.
 Delegation Met Him
 At the Kansas City airport when Lloyd's plane arrived was a delega- tion from Plattsburg- history teacher, the superintendent of schools, and the mar who runs the cleaning shop.

PRESIDENT HAS
 BEGUN CAMPAIGN
He Spoke Before Huge Crowd in Baltimore
 ArmOry Last Night
BY FREDERICK A. STORM United Press White House
 Correspondentl

Baltimore, Md, April 14-U.P)- Political chieftains and politicians appraised President Rosevelt's opening speech" of the 1886 cam paign today as indicating that the new deal would campaign on a pledge of continued social and eco- homie readjustment.
 He spoke last night to 10000 young democrats in the fifth regi- ment armory. By radio, his voice was carried to organizations of young democrats and to voters gen. erally throughout the country. He promised continued aggressive &C., tion to lessen unemployment and bring under proper control the forces of modern society"
 Criticised Industry
 Observers saw much significance in what seemed a flank criticism Of industrys role in the unemploy- ment problem. Ressurecting the ghost of MIRA, the president said that while it was operative "a cer- tain manufacturing industry" cur tailed the average work week to 36.4 hours. Since NRA was ended by the supreme court, the average work week has become 39.9 hours. Assum- ing, he said, that the industry em- ployed l66500 persons. this meant that 10 per cent, or l6,650 persons, have either lost their jobs, or, by working longer hours, are prevent ing l6,650 other people from getting employment"
 "It seems reasonable. therefore, he continued, that industry can contribute in great measure to the increase of employment If industry as a whole will undertake reason able reductions of hours of work a week. while, at the same time, they keep the average individual pay en- velope at least as large as 1t is to- day

 Jury Selection Slow
 Early this afternoon there seemed little likelihood that any evidence would be heard in the case, today since selection of a jury was pro- ceeding with extreme slowness. With both Assistant States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald and Attorney Mascolo questioning each prospec- tive juror at great length, only one juryman had been chosen at ,noon. Both sides were exercising their right of challenge, and the court excused some prospective jurors for cause.

Rome, April l4 (UP) = Premier Benito Mussoni has decided to defy Great Britain and the League of Nations to dictate" peace terms with Ethiopia it understood today. Information from all quarters indicated that Mussolin would insist pursuing his relentless drive into the heart of Ethiopia unless terms tantamoun to complete equalization and permanent Italian domination.

 Feeling grew in Italian quarters that Mussolin was ready to encourage the country to resist to the death any effort at coercion.

Federation or Labor Raps Liberty League
That League Has Made Appeal to Lawlessness on
 Wide Scale-COncerted Campaign Under gxS Way Against Organized Labor

Washington, April IA - CUP) - President William Green of the American Federation of Labor charging that the Americap Liberty League had made "an appeal to lawlessl $ on nationwide scale, " told senate committee today that there was a concerted campaign un- der way against organized labor in America.
 The Liberty League also was &C., cused of blocking the work of the national labor relations board through legalistic maneuverS.
 Green said the present concerted movement against organized labor paralleled the anti-union drive Of the postwar period.
 Heber Blankenhorn, research ex- pert of the NLRB, testified that the board was three months behind in its work and unable to hear new complaints because of the necessity OI HleetlHB legal ODSCdCleS IdLoco Dy the leagues attorneys.
 Both testified on the La Toilette resolution for an investigation of alleged infringements of civil lib- critics. They united in denouncing what they said was nationwide system of labor spying aimed by industrialists at breaking up the labor movement.
 Green said the fight of industrial ists against organized labor was led by flew wilful men who could not rid themselves of an old tradition"
 He denounced Ernest T. Weir of Pittsburgh, who, he charged, be- trayed labor and used the MIRA as a strike breaking agency.
 Anc.@r example of what he said was a concerted drive against unionism was the declaration of the Liberty League in opposition to the Wagner labor relations act. The league, he asserted, had made "an appeal to lawlessness on a nation wide scale"

Italian sentiment has stiffened measurably in the last few days. One reason is the mere gravity of the situation that would be presented if the league tried to impose more severe penalties. Another is that Italians believe the "sanctionist front" is decomposing and that i'm position of new penalties will be im- possible. A third is that the coun- try's oil reserves have been in- creased by between 25 and 30 per cent since December and that store houses throughout the country are filled to capacity.
 Depends on Britain Alone
 Leaders here believed today that as months ago, the issue of peace oI war in the Mediterranean and Eu- rope depended on Britain alone There was anxiety as news was awaited of British cabinet decisions on the course to be pursued at a meeting of the league committee of 13 which meets Thursday on peace
 They believe that Britain has but two courses: to recommend new pen- alties aga:nst Italy, and thereby multiply chances for war in Europe. or to admit candidly that 1t has been mistaken in its policy and that penalties were a mistake.

 Revelation of a police theory that the staying of wealthy pr.

 Indications were that the Italian maneuver would be successful. for the moment, and that the threat by Great Britain to seek imposition of further penalties would be delayed.
 Premier Benito Mussolini agreed to talk over the possibility of peace negotiations after Easter. The league committee of 13 (the council without Italy) set today for the talk and ordered Salvador De Madari- aga of Spain to see Italian and Ethiopian delegates.
