n YEW YORK, March l6.-To the
man whose Columbia Univer-
" sity track team has put the
finishing touches to the Light
Blues Athletic Renaissance, it seems
the first 25 years Of coaching are the
hardest.

1919 after two years war service, never
coached championship squad until

EVER since the Columbia varsity
eight came from behind to win
the intercollegiate race at Pough-
keepSie in 1929, Columbia has been on
the way back to the top of the inter-
collegiate athletics. Since then the
Light Blues foot ball teams have won
a Rose Bowl championship and be-
come an Eastern power under Lou
Little. Basket ball and base ball have
fourlshed with titles in the Eastern
Ivy" League.
Saturday night put track in lire.
Coach Merner, who learned about
coaching at Iowa State Teachers Col
lege at Cedar Falls and Springfield
(Mass) College, saw "the best team 7
ever coached Wrest the title from
Manhattan.
Merner believes his ColuInbians have
good chance in the outdoor l. C. "A

That is, if the coast teams don't
come East" he said with a smile.
Earle Meadows tells me that South

Is going to take a lot of holding"

all enthused about Detroit's chances.
So am I. With Hank Greenberg
back-and I've been told he's in great
shape, with his injured wrist as strong
as eVer-the Tigers are certain to
make this years race tight one.
Mickey COChrane, fully recovered
from his illness, is certain to give the
team the spirit it showed in winning
in 1884 and 1885, and I believe the
Tigers will be at least one club that
won't permit any large gap between
second place and first, where Detroit
and New York finished last season"
The league preXy isn't going to try
naming the ultimate pennant winner.
He's cured + that. Last season, he
recalled, he visited every American
League club at Spring camp and came
away with the impression that the
Yankees would be lucky to finish in

Nev Hitch Delays Starting
First of 8 Ohio Flood Dams

joicing among Western Pennsyl-
vanians, whose citizens, plagued with
an average of food year since the
settlers arrived. have been actively
fighting for control system for four
decades.
The late H. ]. Heinz. founder Of
the food firm bearing his name, is
credited with proposing the first pro-
gram at the turn of the century.
Since then countless delays, tech
nicsl, financial and engineering, have
prevented an actual start of construc-
ton, although three years ago the
Government did begin $4,000, 600
dam at Grafton, W. Va. This was
virtually completed last Saturday.
The tragic 1886 food, which cost
scores of lives and damage estimated
by the Tri-State Authority at more
than s25o,oO0, 900, threw the spot
light of national attention on the
situation.
Congress finally appropriated s24,-
000,0 900 to begin work on flood control.
but time-taking special acts by the
State Legislature to acquire sites were
necessary.
Then the Federal Power Commits
sion stepped in early this month and
caused further delay by insisting the
Federal Government must have deed
to the properties to guard any poten-
tial power rights. That objection was
cleared last week.

U.S.. Future Rests
In Distribution
Is the Associated Press.


BOSTON, September 20.-President
Roosevelt, in a letter to the Boston
conference on distribution, today de-
clared economic distribution of the
products of our fields and factories"
was at the very base of our planning
for future prosperity" and also was a
factor in safeguarding the peace of
the world"
The President said "our progress in
developing the technique of mass pro-
duction through mechanical and scien-
tific processes is an outstanding mar
vel, but we have not kept pace with
this in finding ways and means of
correspondingly reducing cost charges
between the producer and the con-
sumner.
I'VE need to realize more definitely
the interdependence of the two major
activities-in production and distribu-
ton. Not to do so is to disarrange
both, and even jeopardize standards
of living -
Let it not be said of this genera
ton that We left uncorrected a con-
dition under which the people of one
section of our country are smothered
with overproduction of raw materials
and goods by the people OF another
section who are in dire need of them"

Most Maryland and Virginia

Officials and civic leaders In nearby

County, DR.. H. T. Willis, mayor of
Hyattsville, declared "it is at least
something worthy of consideration"
The greatest drawback, in the opin-
ion of DR.. Willis, was the possibility
that Marylanders might lose their
franchise by being placed under Dis
trict Jurisdiction.
I'VE certainly are not willing to lose

Several years ago DR.. Willis spon-
sored the idea of having either a

the purpose of administration, by the
District of Columbia.

Commissioners, in commenting on the

the idea of having a coordination of
police work." but declared he would
have to give the report more study
before making further comment.
Says Plan Impractical.
Paul M. Coughlan, Montgomery
County commissioner from the Silver
Spring area, expressed the opinion
the idea of coordination between the
District and the nearby MARYLAND
communities seems good one, but I
don't see offhand how the plan could
be worked out successfully.
Il do not believe too heartily in
Capitalization of government, and
from the outlined system I Judge a
centralized order would be necessary.
Just what effect the plan would have
on county residents would be my chief
concern, however, and / am certain
the matter is one for much study
along that line"
State Senator J. w. Rust at Fair
fax, Va, this morning said that while
he had not received the report and
was not familiar with it in detail.
the general idea of the plan to con-
solidate the various departments
seems to be impractical"
