JARDINE CITES
BENEFITS OF
RESEARCH

Launching Of a vast research
program made available by the
Jones-Bankhead Act was the out
standing new accomplishment Of
the Agriculture Departments of.
flee Of experimental stations, DR..
James E. Jardine, chief Of the
unit, told Secretary Henry Wal
lace in his annual report.
The Act appropriated $1,000, 900
for research during the fiscal year
ending last June, and provides for
an annual increase of $1,000, 900
yearly until the annual appropria-
tion amounts to $5,000,000. Forty
per cent of the money goes to the
Agriculture Department and the
remainder to States which appro-
pirate amounts equal to their al
lotmentS under the Act.
Three Labs Open
Agricultural research, State and
Federal, was begun during the
year, DR.. Jardine reported, one
phase being the establishment of
three regional research labora-
tories at Charleston, S. c., the
University of Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania State College.
In addition to these, the Ex-
pertinent Office set up 80 special
research projects in which prob

est aspects" were studied by
force that involved research work.
ers from ten bureaus of the de-
partment.
DR.. Jardine has also been
named director of research for
the department by Secretary Wal
lace. who said:
"The increased emphasis now
being given to the regional ap-
prOach to major research prob
lens indicates the necessity of
having a central authority in
the department to promote CO.
operation in the planning and
coordination Of research, both
within the department and with
the States and other agencies
participating"
1000 PROJECTS
DR.. Jardine's unit also con-
tinued operation of 1000 station
projects in the field service which
include $50 undertakings
financed via the Jones-Bankhead
Act, delving into such subjects as
land use, soils, soil and water
conservation, crop adjustment,
distribution, use Of plant and
animal products, and farm-busi-
ness management.

Even in the Document Room
there was comment. Ode Cox
who works in there, says he's
been reading all the stories about
the King-SimpSon love match
and he thinks "Davey" should
marry anybody he wants to. He
said:
"That a man should have to
give up q throne to marry the
woman he's in love with is a lot
Of fOOlishneSs. He ought to be
allowed to marry anybody he
chOOses-whether of the royalty
or a cOmmOner."

ELEVATOR in the Capitol, believes
that " mans got a right to lead

feel about things, and l believe
we're right"
One young secretary, who didn't t
want her name published because
she thought maybe her Congress
man would object, was very en-
phatic about her opinion:
"He wouldn't be happy with
out her, apparently, and If he
wouldn't be a good, happy King,
why should the government
want to force him to give up
Mrs. Simpson?
"They should let him marry
her and keep the throne or make
give up the throne, but let him
marry her under any circum.
stances. / think it's about time
he got married. He's not just
an ordinary man, you know.
He's a King, and he's caused a
lot Of heart flutterings in his
lifetime, so 1 think he ought to
settle down once and for ALL"

ECONOMY
DEMANDED
BY ICKES

While advocating the Public
Works Administration be made
permanent agency, Secretary OF
Interior Ickes last night declared
PWA should Immediately set
about to retrench all along the
line"
In a radio address outlining the
past and future of the agency he
administers, IckeS said:
81 am not in favor Of approx
ing projects for States or COM
munities to which a large meas
ure Of prosperity already has
returned. am unwilling to ap-
prove the expenditure Of more
Federal money in sections that
are as prosperous as they ever
have been in the past; or even
more prosperous"
WILL EXPIRE JUNE 30
Pointing out that the Federal
Administration of Public Works
will expire by limitation next June
80, with many projects still un.
completed, IckeS recommended
new laws to give PWA additional
life as we'll as eventually to make
it permanent. He said:
"If there should be another de-
preston we must not be unpre.
pared as we were when the last
one struck us. As an irreducible
minimum we should maintain a
public works general staff. We
should have q reservoir Of we'll
considered, carefully planned
projects, work on which could
be undertaken as soon as the
necessity arose and money was
made available for them"
STATES SHOULD HELP
Federal grants should not longer
be held to the inflexible rule Of As
per cent of the total cost Of relief
projects, he declared. A. plan could
be worked out, he said, by which
States and communities should ex-
tend whatever financial outlay
found possible, with PWA making
up the difference, limited to a As
per cent maximum.
Pointing out interest rates are
much lower than they were with
the advent of the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration, Ickes observed lit
might be that it would be proper
for us to lower our rates cores
pondingly."
In line with this, he said, an
other function of a permanent
PWA would be to take up bond
issues at low rates Of interest

KING GRATIFIED
AT DECISION
ON JURIES

Senator William H. King CD
Of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, today declared
that he was sincerely gratified at
the United States Supreme Court
decision which yesterday held con
Stitutional the law allowing Gov
ernment employees to serve on Dis
trict juries.
Senator King was chairman OF
the committee in 1885 when the
act was pushed through Congress
In reviewing the decision shortly
after it was handed down yester
day, Senator King said:
"The basis on which the law
was held constitutional was the
same line of thought which
brought me to urge passage Of
the legislation on Congress. l
thought it was right and proper
that the Government employees
who form a class of intelligent
persons of good character should
be made eligible for jury serv.
ice.
"Of course l realize from my
long service on the bench as
well as from my experience as
. legislator that there was a
close line to be decided upon
concerning implied bias. 1
realize that there are two sides
TO the question and that there
Is some merit in the argument
that a servant should not be
called upon to sit in a case in
which his master is involved.
Yet I also took into consider
alton when / was urging the
legislation that to say that an
emplOye of a great institution
like the United States Govern.
ment must be biased simply be-
cause he as an emplOye is draw
ing the line too close.
In a case where an employer
has only one or two employees
1t might be reasonable to expect
that they would be biased, but
in the case of the Government
employing over 100000 persons
1 do not think this holds true.
I'm some other countries it
would have a different reaction.
In Germany, for instance, the
government is Hitler. If the
matter had come up and 1 was
called upon to vote on the
proposition under circumstances
similar to those in Germany
would say that the bias would
be too strong there to allow for
an impartial trial In this
country it is different and 1 am
glad the law was upheld.

 The Old.Tlmers were keyed up at that stage of the game, for they had scored oil their eight runs in that frame when Hennie Mc0rath, ace of the scribes, eased up on his fast ones and lot the veterans Of yesteryears hit.
 The scene was uncalled for as the Fourth Estaters toyed with their opponents from the first inning on. They held c 12 to o lead when the Brooklyn correspondent lot him hit and allowed them to push across their eight runs.

Thomaston Sport Fans Ignored As Team Loses Field

Thomaston, July I7--It seems Q pity ThoniaBton baseball fans have again been deprived of the pleasure of seeing Sunday baseball through the complaints of three or four people, who unSelfishiy do not take Into consideration the town has no playground or athletic field and the only means of giving the sporting fans who have no cars and cannot journey out of town, 6 chance to spend an afternoon watching the local team perform, has been taken away.
 It will be remembered this field was purchased by the town for the purpose of building Q good athletic field for students and school offic. ials realizing the fact the field was being paved for by taxes from townspeople, allowed all local teams to use the field and enjoy the use of something they were really pay ing.
 It does not seem fair that per- haps two or three hundred thxpay- CTS should take a back seat just bee cause few other taxpdyers feel the Sunday Bames, which only take a couple hours, cause too much diS- turbance and noise is never so great that any human being cannot stand.
 When local teams are not of the highest caliber, they are immediate ly banned for not setting up rec. ords in representing the town in that field. but how can they turn out winning team when they have no place to play?
 Many local people are absolutely not in favor of the move which has been taken, and some claim If the spirit was there on the part of inc terested parties to carry the matter further. the outcome would be en. tirely different.

THE RETURN or SERVICE

If you are not an experienced player, and are not particularly adept in handling Q fast.rising ser. vice, 1t is best not to risk standing in too close of an advcrsary's ser- vice. Of course, if an opponents service Is weak, or "soft" there is little to be gained by playing back too deep, but only players with con- siderable skill should attempt to stroke c fast delivery on the rising bounce.
 The best position from which to receive the average service ia from about two feet in back Of the base-Iine. Whether your op- pOnet's service carries considerable speed, or spin, It iS much easier tO judge accurately the flight and bounce from the base.line, or beyond the base-IIne, than from cIoser-in position. As you take up . position to receive service, make certain that you arc In between your forehand and back. hand. That is, in position which
 
 will enable you to reach with equal ease either . ball which comes to your fOrehand or to your hand.
 It is advisable, however, in the event that you possess weak back hand, to protect that weakness as much as possible by standing a lit- tie more to the left if you are a right-handed player, than in be- tween your forehand and backhand. This position will greatly lessen the available space on your backhand side for an adversary to serve Into, and will either force him Into error, or Into placing the service to your forehand.
 While awaiting service. stand a foot or two in back of the base line. with the body and knees bent forward slightly, Keep the racket Ggrippcd for forehand) out in front of you balanced at the throat in the fingers of the left hand.
