 Loaded Food Trucks
 Trucks loaded with food crawled slowly behind snowplows attempt- ing to open roads to Twilight, Red owl and 10 other small settlements in southwestern South Dakota. Winds closed roads behind them and there was no turning back. The food caravans were ordered out by Meade county commissioners when they learned that several rescue parties had been trapped after reaching marooned towns. Volun- teers drove four horse drawn sleds and tractor across snow ridges to Hatfield, Mo, where 200 residents had been snowbound for @ month. They left enough food and kerosene to last a week. Householders were burning fences and flooring for fuel, the rescuers reported.
 Menace of Death
 The menace of death from gas es. caping from frozen mains increased with four new deaths reported at Sycamore, Ill, and two at Omaha. Nineteen persons have been as- phyxiated or killed in gas explo- sions during the past week. Colli- sion of two freight trains which took four lives at Jordan, Minn., was blamed on intense cold which cracked Q draw-bar.
 Flyers Carry Doctor
 Fred and George Height, South Dakota pilots, flew a physician to an outlying ranch in the Black Hills in an effort to beat the stork. Dur ing the past two weeks the Height brothers in their ski-equipped plane have flown a physician to Newell twice, rescued @ school teacher, rushed 8 sick girl to the Rapid City hospital, taken three marooned ranchers home and dropped mail to @ half dozen towns.
 The flying brothers today aided the search for Clyde Ice, Water town pilot, missing since he took of from Pierre for Rapid City to make Q survey for Gov. Tom Berry.
 Weather observers said abnormal ly cold weather will continue Wed- nesday throughout the middle west. The 30 day period ending yesterday established Q new all-time cold rec- ord in Chicago.
 Gov. Paul V. McNutt asked Inc diana school officials to close all schools immediately for spring va- cation which normally comes in March or April.
 Slept with Cows
 Shovelers attempted to reach the farm home of Raphael Raffe, 65. who lives alone near Wadsworth, III. He notified authorities he had kept alive for two days by drinking milk from his herd of cows. With his fuel gone, he has slept in the barn with the COWS.
 George Thielen, 51, died of pneu- monia after a crew of 30 men plowed through drifts to his home near Wadsworth and brought him to the Waukegan. Jll., hospital. His 70-year-old mother was stricken with pneumonia last night. Another effort was to be made today to reach the Thielen home.

a probable supreme court decision is the question of the federal gOv- ernment's power to make loans and grants to municipalities for cone struction of plants to disseminate government-generated power. sev- eraleral cities already have c0n- structed or arranged to construct such plants. Private power coni- panies have attacked validity of these loans and grants in the Hom- lny, okla, case, which seems likely to reach the supreme court.
 New Deals Attitude
 Frank R. McNlnch, chairman of the Federal Power Commission, ex- pressed the New Deals attitude: Even @ nasty reading of the su- preme courts opinion in the Ten i1essee Valley Authority case now removes any doubt as to the consti- tutional validity of the federal gov- ernment's present policies for the conservation and development of the water power resources of the nation"
 ofiicials said the ruling did these things to the power program:
 1. Gave new impetus to TVA-like plans for developments from New York to the Pacific northwest, from Maine to California.
 2. Validated sale of power and erection of transmission lines from federal dams constructed for ra- tional defense or commerce.
 3. Had no direct bearing on the administration 247 non federal power projects financed by public works loans and grants to political subdivisions. Fifty-two of the devel- opments, including Nebraska's pro- posed 56,O00, 900 state IVA" have been attacked in separate suits by utility companies.
 Largest of the developments gii1i- liar to IVA was the plan submitted for the whole Mississippi valley by Senator George w. Norris, Nebras- ka, father of IVA. A series of dams extending from Pittsburgh on the east to the middle west would be constructed on the Mississippi and it's tributaries as congress made money available for flood control, irrigation, navigation and power.

 girls, although the city now has two high schools for Catholic girls, Sacred Heart High school and Wa terbury Catholic High school. The plan would not in any way interfere with the continuance of Water bury Catholic High school, but would simply provide another Cath- olic secondary institution in the city, making a total of three.
 As discussed up to the present. the plan does not call for any new buildings or other changes. Part of the present room space in the huild- ings at South Elm and Union streets would be used for the academy, the remainder for Waterbury Catholic High school. No marked changes would be necessary. since the acad. emy still exists In title and its Tecog. hilton by colleges and educational boards could easily be renewed.
 Final Decisi0n Awaited <.
 Final decision on the matter VII rest with Most Reverend Maurice Y: McAuliffe. bishop of the Hartford Diocese, and with the Mother eu- perlor of the Congregation of NotFe Dame.
 Notre Dame Academy was one oi the foremost Catholic educational institutions in the nation for many years. Its graduates distinguishes themselves in colleges end In b1sl- ness and professional careers over a period Of many years.

himself informally an enthusiastic friend of American jazz. It is report ed that he told an American girl that he reveled in American jazz, and would have liked to have had jazz gallery in his palace. He is an expert performer on the banjolele, and is quite adept in picking up selections by ear. The leader of an American orchestra performing in England has said that the Prince is an excellent drummer with a perfect sense of syncopation rhythm.
 This last summer Gene Tunney had a half-an-hour talk with the Prince of Wales. The Prince dis played a surprising knowledge of American pugilism, and was inti- mately acquainted with the steps which led up to Tunney's rise to fame. He also met Mickey Walker, lightheavyweight champion.
 The Prince revealed himself a movie" fan. He has himself ap- peared in several films, one of them known as III. R. H." On one un- announced visit to London moving picture house, the Prince was almost mobbed by women as he left the theatre.
 The new monarch slipped readily into American customs while on that side, and actually carried several of them back to London. He took to the straw hat, although the straw hat in England is worn only by high school boys. He permitted himself in- dulgence in chewing gum And he also used the American pronuncia- tion now and then, speaking, for in- stance, of ranch, not a "rawnch. ," He naively remarked that ranch was larger than 'rawnch" and was a paying proposition.

c. H. Big Mac" MacSpadden, widely known Juneau ball player and candidate for Mayor at the last city election, has resigned as deputy United States marshal and has filed on the Republican ticket as candi- date for Territorial Auditor. His resignation was effective at the Marshals office last night. He made his filing late yesterday.

At the last session of the Legislature he was sergeant-at-arms in the Terri torial Senate and more recently was active in Democratic politics.
 In turning from the Democratic party to the Republican, MacSpad- den said, T do so with the firm con- viction that there is no party today to speak for Jeffersonian principles except th e hberallzed Republican party" The candidate declared in his prepared statement that he be- lieved every principle of democracy as taught by Thomas Jefferson and prescribed by Andrew Jackson has been abandoned by the present ad- ministration for a doctrine of regi- mentation" He charged the Demo- crats had forgotten every promise made from the stump in the cam paign of '32 and '34.
 Striking out at the 'Tugwells," the 'Richbergs" and the "Farleys," Mac Spadden said, T insist that theic kind of dictatorship or any kind of dictatorship, is dynamite to democ- racy and to order and progress" The candidate said he intended to con- duct campaign throughout the Ter ritory.
 Auditor Frank A. Boyle has pre- viously filed for reelection on the Democratic ticket.

STOLEN JERSEY
 OF RED GRANGE
 IS RECOVERED
Unidentified Culprit Re turns Borrowed Trophy
 Alter Trainer Advertlses

CHAMPAIGN, H., Jan. 21.-Old No TT is back in the trophy room at the University of Illinois-to stay under lock and key
 Old TT is the number worn by liar old iRed) Grange during his illus trious football career at Illinois a decade ago.
 And this particular No. 77 is the one on the jersey the galloping Grange wore in the Ohio State game of 1925, his final collegiate appear ance.
 For years it reposed-at least all thought it did-in the desk of Train CT Matt Bullock
 Then a few weeks ago it was dis covered that old TT was gone. As a matter of fact. Bullock couldn't re- member when he had last seen it. Consternation reigned.
 The missing TT received consider able publicity. Then Bullock receiv- ed a letter. The writer identified himself as former Illinois student who was employed as a sort of watcfman" after graduation.
 T am writing in haste to tell you that am the culprit,' said the let ter. The sweater has been in moth b. lS in my trunk for the past few years after I relieved 1t of it's peril ous position in your drawer.
 A few days later Bullock received a package through the mails. It con tained the jersey and he is certain it is the right one.
 You can see it's the same jerse, by the little hole in the back" say, Bullock. T punched that hole in tn, Ohio State game. Red had been kick ed in the back and he called me ou on the field to see what I could d, about it. cut a hole at the top o the collar and inserted some spong' rubber. Then I tied the jersey. tn, pad and the sponge rubber togethe with shoe string
 Even the shoe string was intact making Identification positive as ia as Matt is concerned.
