 Well, the Welfarers were halted in their upward climb by Bill Le- roy's Storemen who by taking three points climbed into . tic for first place. Bills outfit was getting all the breaks and was simply unbeat. able. The Welfare boys were not outclassed by any means as they also rolled some very good scores. However, their only consolation was that an unknown bowler by the name of Martel who is e member of their team took the weekly high single prize with his 146, while Bill Leroy himself, won the watch.
 Service and Dispatchers had quite 8 match with each team taking two points. Lucky for MT. Murphy or he would not be in tie for first place tonight. Bill Grover, the Daniel Boone of Bunker Hill, kept his team in the running with his nice scores and 347 for three games. Bob Lee and Lauro held up the heavy end. for Jack Murphy.
 Meter B with Frank Byrnes in the lineup took three points from the Sales B to continue their winning ways and it looks as though this bunch is going to be tough to beat. Fred Harrison and his men with a little more luck would have changed the complexion of this match but It seemed that bad splits was their menu all evening.

 Well, George Beckley and his Generals got plenty of satisfaction by taking Jim Kiely's Meter A over the hurdles for three points. Jim tried to be the Sammy Baugh for his ccntenders but Beckley'S five man oof1ense was too tough. Nick Reno and Bill Dumschott were the strong men for the Berkleymen.
 Ben Goldstein,s Collectors took 1t on the chin for three points when Bob Nelson's Senior Varsity laid 1t on them. Bob returned to form after a slow start at the beginning of the season and he looked like the bowlers of old.

be futility. Furthermore, opponents
Of the Presidents Supreme Court pro-
gram said that a definite and bind
ing agreement had been entered into
by the administration leaders in the
Senate not to press for such legisla-
ton.
There was speculation about what
the President will do regarding an
appointment to the Supreme Court to
fill the Van Devanter vacancy Since
the vacancy occurred during the pres
ent session of Congress, the President
must appoint before the present ses-
sion adJOurnS, or wait until the new
session assemblies next January He
can make no recess appointment under
these conditions, it was said. II he
does not appoint before this session
adjourns, the Supreme Court will re-
assemble in October with only eight
members. In view of the Presidents
contention that the Supreme Court
does not have enough members to do
the work, it is expected he will make
the new appointment
Futile for House to Remain.
While Chairman Jones of the House
Agricultural Committee said he be-
lleved that If Congress remained in
session until the end of September,
farm bill could be passed. Speaker
Bankhead pointed out it would be
futile for the House to remain in
session if the Senate was not going
to pass this farm legislation until next
Winter.
The position of Chairman Smith
OF the Senate Committee on Agricul-
ture and Of other members of the
committee is that any legislation en-
acted now would not effect the crops
or the prices Of this year. Therefore.
they hold, 1t is preferably reasonable
TO prepare bill 'or introduction next
January. which will be In plenty Of
tlme TO deal with next years crops.
Ihey maintain that the present soil
conservation act and the various farm
loan acts are working we'll and insist
tnat more time should be had to
graft a permanent farm relief pro-
gram. To rush one through in a
hurry and before a complete study
has been made would be mistake,
So far as an amendment to the
Constitution relating to the Supreme
Court of the United States is con-
cerned. there seems little chance of
acton on such proposal at this
Tune, although Representative Dies
OF Texas and others are talking about
an amendment authorizing Congress
10 validate by two-thirds vote anv
act held unconstitutional bv the Sill
preme Court. In the first place, such
an amendment would have a tough
tlme passing, and proposed consti-
tutlonal amendment requires a two
thlrds vote of both Houses. In the
second place, if constitutional
amendment affecting the Supreme
court is put through it will more
lkely fix the size of the court and
provide for compulsory retirement at
