Magician and 'CObra'
Lin Grim Battle

anations from the metal, which
seemed to glow at white heat, DR..
Duchamp revived and abducted
his daughter, taking her bound
in a wheel chair on a train headed
for an unknown destination. He
was followed by Mandrake, his
giant body servant, Lothar, and
DR.. Petain. An agent Of the
Cobra stabbed and threw from
the train DR.. Petain and Lothar
so he thought.
To his amazement, when he
attempted to deal out a similar
fate to Mandrake, he discovered
that he had merely killed" two
figure images created in his mind
by the hypnotic powers of Man
drake. The Cobra's agent, in an
attempt to escape, injured DR.. Pc
tain, but was seized by Lothar.
Will Mandrake succeed in res
cuing DR.. Duchamp and his beau
tiful daughter from the clutches
of the Cobra in this battle be-
tween two masters of the occult?

of st. Mary's, Pa, recently ap-
pointed chairman Of the Pennsyl-

Senator Joseph F. Guffey Of

protege is happily situated in his
new Pennsylvania job and is not
an active candidate for any Wash

Senator Guffey called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt in Driscoll's behalf
several weeks ago. While waiting
for something of an acceptable
nature to turn up here, Governor
Earle made Driscoll head of the

TEXTILE NRA'
NEEDED, SAYS
ELLENBOGEN
International News Service

Fighting to save the "little
NRA" textile bill, Representative
Ellenbogen CD Of Pennsylvania
today warned that a national
wages and hours board not sup
plemented by additional boards
for each major industry, must
ultimately collapse" He ex-
planned:
"TO me, it Is obvious that a
lone agency could never per-
form the stupendOuS task Of
fixing minimum wages and
maximum hours for all in
dustry. If the additional boards
are not set up now, we will
eventually be forced to do it
to save the program, because
1t Is the only intelligent way to
approach the problem"
Secretary Of Labor Perkins, ap-
pearing before a House labor sub
committee yesterday. said estab-
lishment of independent labor
boards would be unfortunate" |"
Earlier this week, Representative
Connery CD of Massachusetts,
House Labor Committee chair
man, asserted the textile bill had
been "shelved by the President"
in favor of the Administration
bill setting up national labor
standards board to fix hours and
wages for all industry.
Ellengogen declared he had no
intention Of dropping his fight
for the bill, despite the reported
coolness of the Administration to
it. In this he was supported by
Representative Keller CD of
Illinois, chairman of the labor
subcommittee considering it. Kel-
Ter said:
1--WE plan to call an executive
session in a few days and re-
port the bill to the full COM
mittee. We may make a few
changes, but the bill will not
undergo any major alterations"
The bill would create a national
textile commission to fix wages
and hours, administer trade
practices and control production.
Testimony of Secretary Perkins
completed the public hearings on
the measure, he said.

JAILED
IN GREECE

Notwithstanding to reports
reaching here from Athens, the
Greek dictatorship has recently
overcome crisis Of some i'm
portance in which Premier John
Metaxas had to order a number
of arrests to halt a whispering
campaign of disagreement be-
tween him and King George.
Although some well-informed
sources report that the KIM does
not entirely approve the Pre-
mier's Fascist aSpirati rs and has
actually put a check on hir plans
for a cooperative State. there Is
little doubt that the government
remains in power with the
sovereign's support and approval.
The tension that has existed
for some time is also manifested
ir the extension of the censor
ship to the telephone and incom-
ing foreign newspapers. Several
foreign newspapers have been
banned, while others have had
one or more issues confiScated.
This was done without the publ-
cation of an official intimation OF
any sort, the :,rinted matter con-
cerned just disappearing from
the mails.
The Greek newspapers provide
an excellent example of dictator
ships mutun4 support of each
other. They are full of praise
for Germany, Italy and insurgent
Spain and reprint numerous ar
ticles favorable to Greece from
German and italian newspapers.

HUSKIES WILL
 LIGHT BRUINS
 ON SATURDAY
Two Elashy Negro Players Are to Be Seen in
 Annual Clash

U
 SEATTLE, Nov. 10.Whether the Huskies Are hot or cold, Rose Bowl bound or not, Washington's great army of grads come home this week end to aid the team against the UCL.A. Bruins.
 Back for weekend filled with bright lights, gay doings. and gen. eral welcoming, the alums will be feted in the characteristic style ac- corded Washington graduates. Saturdays ball game, of course will be the feature event on the ex- tensive program. It will be tussle that may have no affect on the Pa cific Coast conference race, but which will be most important to both the Huskies and Bill Spauld- ing's charges.
 Presenting lineup that has shown occasional flashes of brilliant ball-playing during the season. the canny Spaulding has built his of- fense around the widely-h -heralded Kenny Washington, sophomore ne- gro. And to counterbalance the dashing tactics of the speedy Wash ' ington, Jim Phelan plans to use his sophomore negro ace, Charley Russell, the high-stepping Seattle boy.
 Remembering last years crushing 14-0 defeat by Washingtons Rose Bowl eleven, Spaulding promises to throw everything in the book at the Huskies in order to defeat Wash ington for the first time in history. Three times the. Huskies and Bruins have met. with the Westwood Hills boys failing even to score on their Northern opponents.
 Also in the Washington backfield will be Merle Miller, who is remem- bered by last years Bruin team as the lad who tore up their defense before leaving the game in the third quarter with a broken collar bone. The U.CLA. lads highly re- spect Miller, having chosen the rock-ribbed Kent halfback on their 1936 all-opponent team
 ~ To add color to the social activi- ties before game time, all Greek row will be ablaze with intricate signs on Friday night, A giant serpentine led by old grads, will wind through the University district. Saturday at the game w blanket winners from all time will parade on the field during half-time intermission.

of a full majority, having 288 to 26o conservatives and 58 liberals Mac Donalds second labor cabinet was formed, only this time he confined himself to the duties of Prime Min ister.
 His first big concern was with naval armaments and he made his historic trip to the United States, discussing the subject with Presi- dent Hoover while the two sat on la log on the banks of the Rapidan. That talk laid the foundations for the successful naval conference in London early in 1880.
 MacDonald's foreign policy also embraced restoration of diplomatic relations with soviet Russia, the withdrawal of British troops from the Rhineland, signing of the op- tional clause of the constitution of the world court at The Hague and adherence to the general act of the League of Nations for pacific set clement of international disputes. But his domestic problems multi piled. Unemployment increased unti
 the dole debt grew at the rate oi $5, 900, 900 week. India's murmurs rose to full throated demands fol Independence. The coal and textile industries and the foreign trade oi England sank to new lows.
 There were many attacks on the government by massed Conservatives laided by flanking force of recalci-
 trant liberals who disagreed witt
 Lloyd Georges alliance with Mac
 Donald. There were assertions too from the labor benches by Sir Os- wald Mosley and several followers and much sharpshooting against the cabinet by the "Clydesiders, or Jeff wing of the labor party
 By midsummer of 1881 the gov ernment had been defeated on 8 dozen occasions, but each time Mac Donald declared the issue was minor and did not call for resignation Meanwhile he pursued steadfastly bis policies of conciliation abroad sought formulae to satisfy the na-
 tionalists of India and strove to build up partnership conception of the British empire.
 Through it all his inherent loyalty
 for his native land was frequently manifested and he often went there for rest, generally travelling by air. plane.

Colgate started work for the cur rent football season in high hopes.
 Our personnel isn't going to be much different from that of last fall" Coach Andy Kerr explained at the initial workout If our vet erans improve as they should, this can be a very good football team. If they don't improve, we may not do much better than we did in 1886. when we lost three games"
 Apparently the veterans did not improve. The erstwhile Red Raiders of the Chenango already have lost three major contests-to Cornell, Tulane and Duke
 Those close to football at Ham ilton insist that the main fault with the team is senior trouble. /" Too many veterans. figuring their places on the team were secure, were included to show less than the right amount of spirit.
 That is possible. Most coaches agree that the ideal football player is a junior in college. He. knows fooSall and has the spirit. A soph- omore generally is short on exper- fence. A Senior is likely to look for an easy way to carry out as signments.
 The situation at Colgate is un- ique. When the season got under way, only two players were lost from the eleven that started against Syracuse in 1886 Reives, right tackle, and Marshall, left halfback. Since that time most of the others have been replaced by less exper- fenced players. Captain Marcel Red Chesbro, tackle, is one ex- ception.
 Chesbro is ranked with the great est Colgate tackles of all time. A regular for three seasons, he never has quit fighting. Last year he was rated right up behind Widseth of Minnesota in the national poll. He has exceptional speed, and can run as fast as any of the backs. A fine tackler. he runs interference we'll.

His hair whitened and his shoulders sagged but from the depths he toiled upward to the Prime Ministership six years later without having recanced a word or sacrificed jot of his principles. Seven years later on July II, 1881, he stood on the platform of Albert Hall in London along with Stanley Baldwin and David Lloyd George, leaders of labor's political foes, and through an international hook-up of radio that carried his words to worldwide audience, said:

 A stray copy of Henry Georges Progress and Poverty found it's way into the village at time when agricultural Scotland was having hard times and hatred of landlord ism was taking root. It planted the seeds that made a socialist out of Macdonald.
 But while politics always inter- tested him, his first love was science. In 1884 he bent his steps toward London, his ambition being to work by day and study by night for a scholarship in one of the science schools of the capital. Work was scarce and he starved in a garret.
 His porridge came from Scotland and he paid for 1t with his scant earnings. Unable to afford tea, he drank hot water.
