will depend, first, whether the report
ever is completed and made public,
and, second, whether certain tenta-
tive recommendations for leniency
are included in it.
At present the Department of JUS
tice is disposed, it is understood, to
hold in the report:
/. That there were technical viola
tions of the law requiring open bidding
for airmail contracts. 3
2. That these violations, on their
face. justified Postmaster General Far
ley in canceling the contracts.
3. That a careful study of all cir
cumstances surrounding the award of
the contracts leads to the conclusion
that technical provisions of the bid
ding law were circumvented not with
any intent to defraud, but in the pub
lie interest-that is, to advance avia-
ton, improve human safety and in
crease efficiency Of the airmail service.
The consensus of those who have
studied all the facts is that the ''miti-
eating circumstance" justify the Gov
eminent in taking no further action

reserves will meet Coach w. S.
Taylor'S high school hoopsters in
the first game of the evening.
The Beverly Hills basketeers met
and conquered Brawley high and
junior college teams last night in
the Brawley gym and gave an eX-
hibition of wide open basketball
brand of ball that left the Braw-
ley fans limp in their seats Won
dering what was coming next.
Breaking fast down the floor
the Beverly Hills basketeers open
ed up with a barrage Of shots at
the basket that ran their scores
Skyward.
Coach Sax Elliott sent his re-
serves into the fray against Braw-
ley high in the opening quarters
of play, and the Brawley hoop
Sters went to work. Wong ran up
a total of II points and the Wild
cats led 21-11 with four minutes
left to play in the third period.
The Beverly Hills varsity cage
team then went into the game,
and finished the period with the
score 23-17. Brawley played des-
perately in the early minutes of the
fourth quarter to hold their six
point lead but successive baskets
by Galloway and Kelly closed the
gap. Before the final quarter was
half over the Coast team had
taken a 1928 lead and then Cal
laway opened up the attack to
sink three more baskets and foul
shot before the final gun sounded
Kelly stopped in a basket at the
gun to make the final score 1928.
The Beverly reserves opened the
game against the Brawley jayceeS
and ran tn score to 44-19. The
jaycees didn't have a show.

preparation for tonight's game
but their showing was not i'm
pressive. The Arabs brushed up
their offensive and defensive plays
and then tapered off with a short
scrimmage, a scrimmage in which
the reserves outscored the varsity.
Coach w. S. Taylor sent his
high schoolers through a long
practice drill and planned a de-
fenSive workout for his squad to-
night, for w. S. saw the Beverly
