 Action on l36 Records

New York, Nov. 2.-(UP)-The Amateur Athletic Union will act upon l36 records set during 1886 by American athletes when 1t meets later this month in annual conven- ton at Boston.
 Ralph Flanagan of Florida. free- style swimmer, created IS marks during the year to lead all American athletes.
 Although the total is 52 less than a year ago the list is of Q higher quality, being confined to many standout events such aS 200 and 300 meter runs, two mile runs, pole vault and high jump.
 Adolph Kiefer of Chicago, Olym- pic backstroke champion, and John ny Higgins of Providence, breast stroke swimmer, were next in lino behind Flanagan with five records to their credit.
 Katherine Rawls, all-nround star of Miami, Fla, leads the women's division with five new swimming marks.
 The list does not embrace record performances of American athletes in Europe this summer. It Is con. fined to athletes who have broken records in this country this year.
 Glenn Cunningham, former Kan sas flier who now runs for the New York Curb Exchange, IS listed for two new running records -- 1920 yards and 1 l-2 miles.
 Possibly the best marks up for approval are those of l:40.6 for the 300 meters and 880 yards credited to Elroy Robinson of San Francisco.
 Two athletes are credited with Identical records-Earlc Meadows and Bill Sefton of the University of Southern California. They both pole vaulted l4 feet, ii inches in Los Angeles.

YALE READY TO
 TAME BROWN BEAR

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 2.-(Up) Yale University's football team was in tip-top shape today for the invasion of the Brown University eleven to the Bowl Saturday.
 As the team resumed practice fol- lowing @ Monday lay-off, Coach Ducky Pond reported every member of the squad was on hand, with only minor hurts here and there as re- suit of the Dartmouth encounter.
 He probably will start the same lineup against the Bears that he has opened against Army, Cornell and Dartmouth.

BY the foregoing system the
people of the counties and munic-
ipa!ities have been defrauded of
millions of dollars and deprived
of thci unconstitutional right to
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. The legislature is guilty of
the same miStreatment of coun-
ties and municipalities as that for
which King George the Third was
condemned in the Declaration of
independence; namely, "for TAX
ing away our charters; abolishing
our most valuable laws and alter
ing fundamentally the powers of
our governments"
For years public-Spirited per-
sons have endeavored to get an
amendment to the state constitu-
ton which would allow the pco-
pie Of the counties and the mu-
inequalities TO govern themselves
in matters which are purely local
and concern them only. But 80
far the dominant political party
has prevented the people from
enjoying local self-government.
If the foregoing condition were
peculiar TO the state of North
Carolina, that would be bad
enough. But similar situation is
to be found in other states in
which supposedly free people are
held in actual oligarchical bond
age.
Probably it is the tyranny and
the misrule suffered by commun-
tiles at the hands of local politi-
cal rings and state political ma
chimes which have caused the in
creased leaning of the people to-

that if a major filibuSter develops.

ROOSEVELT is convinced by
IL history that every President
has to face bitter struggle with
The Senate in his second term. He
wants his big showdown now,
ahead of everything else. His fol-
lowers believe that If he can win

have. nearly everything his own
way after that, whereas if he loses

nate legislation.
So for the moment Congress is
dGwdling along with measures
which are mere chicken feed.
Statutes and powers which would
otherwise expire this year are be-
ing renewed, as in the case Of the
new neutrality law and the eX-
tension of the Presidents author

to momentous statewide prob
lens. Passage of bills at the rate
of three a minute is Il matter of
record. Could anything be more
ridiculous?
Since the legislature manifestlY
has not the time to give intelli-
gent thought to the flood of local
bills poured in on it each session
and since each legislator knows
that should he oppose any other
legislators local bill he might find
his own local bills opposed in re-
taliation, it has become the leg
islaturc's custom to jam through
all Ioca! bills, regardless of their
merits and of any protests from

happens that the entire legislature
must bear the stigma of having
enacted into law some particular
~ evil piece Of local legislation
introduced by legislators repre-
senting the selfish, greedy aims
Of some evil local political ring.
There is this notable exception
to the custom of tanning through
local bills: 1t is the practice Of
the legislature to kill the local
bills introduced by legislators who
were elected in opposition TO the
dominant political party, and to
rule the counties from which such
legislators come through measures
Introduced by other legislators
who do belong to the dominant
political party. In that way the
legislative deliberately persecutes
