COMMENT
By w. M. SMITH


Sitting at dinner at the Nicollet
Hotel last week at the Council of
Social Agencies Good Government
program, / could but compare the
dinner, for which the charge was
one dollar per plate, with other
dinners at the Phyllis Wheatley,
certain church societies, etc., for
which a much smaller sum was
asked. The hotel dinner was sat-
isfactory and the service all it
should have been. But so were the
dinners at Phyllis Wheatley and
the churches. The difference is
that the hotel intended to make,
and did make, money from its din
ner. The patrons of the Phyllis
Wheatley and church dinners are
surprised that these institutions
should want to make anything on
their investment. 1t would be well,
indeed, if our folks would attend
more often, such affairs as the
Nicollet Hotel and other gather
ings, where a price commensurate
with the service is asked and
freely given. Then perhaps we
would develop better apprecia-
ton for the most excellent menus
served by our own group and cease
to complain of their very reason
able cost.
The cOlOred citizens of Michigan,
and particularly of Detroit, have
organized to meet their pressing
problems with much of success in
a way to give pause to other COM
munities in like situations. Their
example could be followed with
equal success.
They have a civil rights commit
tee that really gets results. 1t is
sponsored by the foremost citizens,
who work for the best interest of
the community, ask no pay; ac-
cept no brides from any source, be
it political or otherwise. Definite
information of the economic stu
alton is compiled, mailed to mem
bers of the city council, to some
900 ministers to interested civic
organizations, and to citizens,
white and black, who profess or
should have an interest in the facts
adduced. Among other startling
disclosures they have established
the fact that Detroit has 1870 of
the population and only 10 of the
local government employees.
Statistics of Municipal Employ
ment show a total of 23,S64 whites
and POI cOlOred. According to the
ratio of population the Negro
group should have over a thousand
on the payrOlls. They demand for
the, Negro work and not philan-
thrOpy.
This broadcast information is
awakening Detroit citizens of both
races to conditions that need adj
justment. Citizens of these groups
appreciative of the honest able eff
forts of the committee, donate
funds to carry on the work. Pam
phlets giving the facts are pub
lished and distributed through the
churches. Thus in definite, con-
crete way the actual situation of
the Detroit Negro cries aloud for
redress. Every citizen hears. Many
are answering.

TWO PROBLEMS FACING NATION
 FIRST OF YEAR
Naval Construction and Far Eastern Policy Must Be
 Decided Quickly
LIMITATION FACTS
 EXPIRING TOMORROW
Fertilization of Territories on Pacific Is Big
 Issue Now

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. - Mo- mentous decisions, naval construc- tion and Far Eastern policy, lie ahead of the United States at the termination at midnight tomorrow of the Washington-London Naval Limitation treaties, and coincident with the lapse of restrictions on the size of the fighting fleets of the world.
 For the first time in fifteen years, these problems are upper most.
 One question IS whether two new battleships will be added to the American Navy.
 Another question is what the United States intends to do about Notifications of Territories on the Pacific.
 Authoritative quarters predict that President Roosevelt will lose little time in ordering two $50,000,- 900 battleships.

SKIERS' CABIN TURNED OVER TO
 JUNEAU CLUB
Forest Service Gives Private Group Exclusive Use of
 Public Building

Exclusive use of the skiers' cabin at the head of the Douglas Ski Trail has been turned over to the Juneau Ski Club, it was announced today by Wel,man Holbrook, Assistant Regional Forester of the U. s. For est Service, and any one wishing to use it, whether member of the club or not, must register with Orrin Kimball, Secretary of the Club, at Burford's. A fee of 50 cents for over night and 25 cents for stop over during the day will be charged, it was stated, to both members and non-members. The club plans to station caretaker at the cabin over the week-ends and the fees collect ed will go toward paying expenses of keeping the cabin in shape, of ficials of the Club and Forest Ser vice said.
 Holbrook said the ski trail itself would remain open to the public as usual and the intention was to allow the public use of the government owned and built skiers cabin when 1t was available after proper regis tration with the Secretary of the Ju- neau Ski Club.
 The action to turn the public prop erty over to private control was reached at meeting of Holbrook with officers of the Ski Club last night. Holbrook said, in making the action public today, that the cabin had not been kept up in the manner it should be and 1t was thought that by giving exclusive use to the Club 1t would be kept in better shape. So that no one will make the four mile hike up the ski trail only to

PITTSBURGH IS
 GOING TO MAKE
 GAME HARD ONE
Ju d son Bailey Tells of Coach Who Is Leg
 endary Figure
By HUDSON BAILEY

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 30. U Football is a business of fun for the tall, dignified bachelor who directs the game for the mighty Pittsburgh Partners.
 On the campus, and almost every where, he is known as something of a legendary figure-gloomy, silent and severe.
 But Dr. John Bafn (Jock) Suth- erland has warm spot in his heart for the boys who play the game to which he is devoted.
 Speaking of his 1886 team, named to oppose Washington in the Rose Bowl classic at Pasadena on New Years Day, the Silent Scot says:
 We try to make football fun. We practice less than any big team I know of. We scrimmage less-sel- dom after mid-season. We try nev- CT to give the boys too much work and always quit practice sessions while they still want more. But we try to win our games"
 The Pitt mentor is firm believer in discipline, but his players to a man claim he is not harsh nor a driver.
 And this from Jock:
 T believe certain amount of discipline is necessary. but I'd be glad to have the boys talk about that subject. We all get along to- gether. We have fine spirit on the team and that means a great deal. However, I'd rather have discipline and win than be good fellow and loSe.'
 This is Dr. Sutherlands fourth trip in eight years to the Rose Bowl where Pitt was beaten in all three previous games. He never played a game of football before he entered Pitt as a student in 1914, ultimately succeeding his teacher, the famed Pop Warner.
 DOESN'T LOSE-OFTEN
 Few coaches anywhere can point to a record like that of the canny Scot.
 In 18 years, his teams never
 have lost two consecutive games.
 Since 1924, no Sutherland
 coached eleven has lost more
 than two games in any one sea-
 son.
 In the B years he has been at
 the helm for Pitt, his teams
 save won 93 games, lost 13. But Rose Bowl games have been Sutherland's main trouble. His Partners lost to Stanford 6-7 in 1928 the Indians coming from behind to win. Tn 1880 and 1883, Southern California swamped Pitt, 47-14, and 35-0, respectively. Sutherland never talks about his Continued on Page Fiye)

 Football Fans
By FRANK GORRIE

SEATTLE, Dec. 30.-Tournament of Roses football games at Pasa- dena have brought only bouquets of thorns to the Universities of Pittsburgh and Washington - the teams which meet on January l., l937, in the 20th annual classic.

 1933-Pittsburgh 0, U. S. c. 35.
 Pittsburgh suffered the most de- cisive defeat ever written in Rose Bowl records when it lost by 35 points three years ago. The Pan- thers also suffered the next worst defeat-the 33-point margin piled up against them in the 47-14 loss in l930.
 JOCKS FOURTH TRIP

Johnny Mack Brown. the movie star, caught two passes for 'Bama touchdowns. Hubert tallied the other. The Hus- kies gained l2-0 lead in the first half and added seven points in the last period after Wilson returned to the game.

CUSE'S DEMAND IS LEGAL SAYS
 J. s. PRESIDENT
Shipping of Planes, Motors to Spain, However
 Against Policy

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Pres- ident Roosevelt called the proposal of Robert Cuse of New Jersey to demand a license to ship second hand airplanes and motors to the Madrid Government as perfectly legal but contrary to the country's interests.
 The President said he believed that if the Neutrality Act can be amended quickly enough after the opening of Congress to stop the shipment, Cuse could not recover damages.
 Cuse asked for license to ship $2,777000 worth of airplanes and motors to the Spanish Government. insisting it is his right as the pres ent Neutrality Act, expiring May l., forbids arms sales to belligerent foreign powers but not to factions in civil wars.
