COLLEC|ATEP PRIZE
Need for Conscientious Jour-
naIism Stressed by State
Senator Daniel.
By the Associated Press.

LEXINGTON. Va. Dec State
Senator Robert w. Daniel Of Brandon
told the 18th annual convention
of the Virginia Intercollegiate Press
Association tonight that "at no time
in the history Of the world was there
greater need for the best, most con-
scientious type of journalism-the
world we know today is topsy-turvy."
Speaking before the annual banquet
Of the association, Senator Daniel
said rivers of blood are being spilled
to carry the day for one theory or the
other or to gain more advantageous
economic ground. For many months
Spain has been in the throes of one
of the most appalling civil wars in
history-a war which might have
been averted if there had been the
proper media through which to mold
public opinion, or if these media had
been efficient and unselhsh."

ton was taken as indicating the Fran
co-Polish military alliance had been
strengthened.
The authoritative reports from both
French and Polish sources agreed
France had insisted Poland's relations
with Czechoslovakia be included in the
discussion of ways toward general
European peace. Poland replied she
was accustomed to smoothing her diff
f1culties with her neighbors alone.
Poland also said M. Delbos' brief
talk at Berlin railway station yes

TRENTON, Mo-, Dec. 4.-Arthur M.
Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture in the
Hoover administration, today denied
Senator Borah's assertion that the
policy of scarcity as a cure for eco
nomic ills was originated by President
Hoover.
THE country will welcome the op-
position Of Senator Borah to the COM

in statement.
But the Senator is wholly inaccu-
rate when he says Herbert Hoover
originated the idea Of scarcity as q
cure for economic Ills Mr.. Hoover
did no such thing
"On the contrary, Mr.. Hoover has
been in the Record for more than
20 years as an opponent Of the theory
of scarcity. ="
What the Hoover administration
advocated was production voluntarily
balanced to the effective demand-And
demand included export demand plus
reasonable carryover."

Mans Highest Climb

The highest mountain ever
scaled by man is Nanda Dew, a
Himalayan peak 25,645 feet high,
which bafHed climbers for fifty
years.
Of the party of six climbers in
1886, three were Americans. The
difficulties were enhanced by the
necessarily heavy loads to be car
ried and by the desertion, in
fright, of most of the porters. The
actual climbing took twenty-one
days and the story, n1odestly told
by one of the two climbers who
attained the summit, is quiet
but inherently exciting record of
mountain ascent which competent
judges describe as the finest yet
made.
