NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE
It doesn't take an expert to see
how much the loss of last years
stars has hurt the University Of
North Dakota and North Dakota
Agricultural college basketball
teams.
The Bison have gone straight down
the old hatch since ringing up the cur
tain on this years program, dropping
successive games to Wahpeton State
Science school. Moorhead Teachers,
Mayville and Concordia. And the
Sioux barely eked out a win over Ham
lines powerful quintet In their opener
and following up by losing to the
University Of Wisconsin Al to %.
Not that losing to Wisconsin and
: = close squeak with Hamline are
. discredit to the Sioux. But with
Bob Finnegan and Emmett Birk
In the lineup Coach Letich's boys
might have walloped the Pipers in
the good old-fashioned way and
probably would have turned the
tables on the Badgers as we'll.
And without big Russ Anderson and
several of his teammates who made
the Bison a top-notch contender for
North Central conference honors last
year Coach Bob loves A. G. boys
have been floundering helplessly.

THOSE OTHER BOYS
A Turtle Lake fan with q mind to
equal distribution Of just dues thinks
that credit for the success Of the
Turtle Lake football team this fall
should have been more evenly divided
among all members Of the team.
Granting that Fremont Philbrick
put on some brilliant exhibitions, he
points out that a young fellow by the
name Of Parks also contributed q
thing or two to the teams record
But when 1t came to passing around
the honors. Parks just didn't seem te
be there.
The Turtle Lake quarterback prob.
ably is as well satisfied with his LOT
Is anyone. He took his hard knocks
on the field and gave them there, and
no doubt didn't have to read the
newspapers before deciding whethe,
or not he did credit to himself in yes
terday's game. After all, the actua
honor is earned on the field of battle
and that which comes from beine
named on any "all-team" is Just
something transitory. artificial.
Like as. not some Of the boys who
went through the season unmentioned
In press notices will plod right into
the Big Time, while some of their
more widely heralded brothers will be
gone with the wind"

Bismarck high schools basket
ball team may not have been
stamped with the mark of the
champion in its opener against st.
Mary's here last Friday, bu. even
SO it did as well as could be ex-
pected of any outfit that has to
be rebuilt after losing most of its
old standbys.
It takes more than a day to bring
a team of any sort up to standard
after losing such performers as Buddy
Beall, Bob Peterson, Glenn Enge and
Bob Tavis, all regular first-string men.
It would be hard to replace any two
OF them, or even one, but when you
lose them all at one crack 1t brings
up problem that would justify Sleep
less nights on the part of any coach.
Weeks may pass by before Coach
Glenn Hanna is able to mold his team
into a smooth working aggregation
that knows what to do with the ball
and how to do its best against stiff
opposition. Right now it's like build
ing from scratch, even though the
Demon mentor does have two of last
years lettermen back. In no game
is teamwork more vitality essential
than in basketball. And even If you
have five stars you have just another
team until they start working to-
gether and have the "feel" of playing
with one another.
st. Mary's quintet, with only
few days more practice to its
credit than the Demons had when
they clashed last Friday, was
considerably more advanced as
far as teamwork was concerned.
With four of last years letter
men back In the fold, they pres
ented a smooth working passing
attack and staunch defense that
will spell trouble for anybody they
bump up against this winter.
But the chances are that the De-
mons will improve more rapidly than
will the Saints. Not because the Bis
marck high school boys are more able,
but simply because they have more
room for improvement. With the
Saints it will be more q matter Of
polishing the teamwork, of getting
their offense and defense down pat
after an unusually good start.
It's safe to predict that what
with the experience gained In the

court justice who would retire at
this particular time, by virtue of
the bait that was held out to him,
would not be the sort of individual
for whom l would have the greatest
respect"
The retirement bill was favored
by the President but, as Senator
Pat McCarren said, was not a part
of Mr.. Roosevelt's bill for enlarge
ment of the court. The controversy
over the latter measure grew more
bitter day by day and to the sur
prise of the administration, it was
found that it was likely to be de-
feated in the house. Therefore the
majority leaders decided to let the
senate act first. In that body the
decision rested with some twenty
five senators who had not yet an
nounced their position.
Mr.. Roosevelt stood firm in his
determination to force the bill
through congress, and announced
he would deliver radio speech In
its defense on March 9, the day
before the one set for the start
of senate judiciary committee, hear
ings on the bill. The President de-
MED report that he would make
a tour of the country in behalf of
his plan.
Senator George of Georgia, Dem
ocrat, stepped into the fight with
an assertion that the Supreme court
enlargement proposal is a repudia-
tion of the party's 1896 platform
pledge that it would seek a clarity
ing constitutional amendment if it
could not attain its social-economic
welfare program by legislation.
In defense of the measure various
members of the cabinet and heads
of federal agencies began a speak
ing campaign.

Panama Canal Toll Rate
Revision Is Proposed

\ BOLTON of the dual system
\ of measurement of vessels pass
ing through the Panama canal was
asked by the President in special
message to congress, in accord with
a report of an advisory committee.
Nothing definite was said about rails
ing the revenue of the canal.
The War department recently as
sailed the present dual system of
collecting tolls as permitting in
equalities, manipulations, and end
less reductions in charges, resulting
in losses to the United States and
unfair advantages to shipping in
terests. At present the canal, a 54612
million dollar investment, is losing
almost a million dollars year.
Manufacturers and other shippers
of the Middle West have long main
tanned that the Panama canal toll
charges are so low that the effect is
to subsidize shippers of the East and
West because it is cheaper to ship by
water from either coast than by rail
from the Middle West. The middle
westerners have urged that the
rates be raised to give them equal
footing with seaboard competitors
and also to give promise of amortiZ-
ing the canal investment.

The report concludes that per-
manent adjustment agency should
prove useful as central co-ordinat-
ing body, or board of strategy, for
an occupational group composed of
small and loosely organized operat-
ing units such as in agriculture. 1t
recommends the continuance of the
federal agency in order to assist
farmers in adjusting their industry
to changing technical and CONNER
cial conditions and to cushion the
shock of disasters such as drouth
and flood.
AS for crop insurance, the belief
is expressed that a system of all
risk insurance under government
sponsorship would prove financially
sound and beneficial to farmers if
premiums and indemnitieS could be
kept on a true actuarial basis. 1t
insists, however, that crop insur-
ance should not be mixed up with
the ever normal granary proposal.
To the whole ever normal granary
idea in general the Brookings report
is unfavorable.

him, and Miss Batten was rewarded
for her spectacular solo flight
across the south Atlantic.

Start of Bonneville Power
Sale Asked by Roosevelt

PEN warfare by the govern
" ment on private power inter-
ests will be started soon if the rec
concentrations of President Roose-
velt to congressional leaders are
acted upon favorably. In letters
to Vice President Garner and
Speaker Bankhead, the President
urged that prompt action be taken
to provide for the sale of electric
power from the $51, 100000 Bonne-
vile project on the Columbia river
in Oregon; and he intimated this
might be taken as the forerunner of
a national power policy. The rec
concentrations were in accord with
a report from the committee on ma
tional power policy and also with
the position Mr.. Roosevelt took in
the controversy with DR.. Arthur E.
Morgan, IVA chairman, who IA
vored cooperation with existing
power companies and consideration
for their investment.

Vidal Quits as Head of
Air Commerce Bureau

EUGENE VIDAL has resigned as
IL director of the federal air COM
merce bureau and says he will re-
enter private aviation. His conduct
of the bureau has been subjected
to much criticism at times and a
committee headed by Senator Cope
land of New York has recon-
mended the reorganization of the
bureau. Recently the bureau and
representative of the air transport
industry have differed sharply over
causes of the series of major air
crashes.
VidaPs successor is Prof Fred
d. Fagg of Northwestern university
law school. He became associated
with aviation during the war when
he served as a second lieutenant
with the ninety-second aero squad
ron in France. After the war he
returned to the United States and
specialized in air law. His assist
ant in the bureau will be Maj. R. w.
Schroeder, also of Chicago.

Victory Dinners.

WHO says New Dealers aren't
w smart business men? That
$100 victory dinner means a clear
profit of $94.70, figuring the food
at SIS a head and the combined
speeches at 80 cents, which, even if
they average up to most after-din-
ner speeches, is indeed a high valu-
alton.
Back in Andy Jackson'S day you
could pay off a campaign deficit
with hoop poles and coon pelts. And
in Thomas Jefferson's 4 time tn
strongest pack mule in Virginia
couldn't tote $100 worth of vittles.
So, naturally Jeffersonian simplic-
ity and Jacksonian thrift will be
eXtolled.
Presumably the Republicans will
follow suit with a nonvictory din
ner or donation shower for John
Hamilton's hope chest. Needy
guests will wear Liberty Leaguers'
old clothes, while the idea of hav-
ing Canada annex Maine and Ver-
mont will be strongly opposed.

News of the Strikes,
Sit-DoWn and Otherwise

IT AVING virtually countenanced
L the sit-down strike in the case
of the General Motors controversy,
the administration found itself en-
barrassed by that favorite ma
neuver of John Lewis Committee
for Industrial Organization.
Out in Monica, Calf, about 200
employees of the Douglas Air
craft corporation went on strike and
"sat down" in the big plant, COM
pletely stopping work on $4,000, 900
worth of airplanes the company is
building for the government.
Finally the strikers were indicted
for conspiring to violate two old
California laws against forcible en-
try and trespassing, and when 300
armed deputies appeared at the
plant, they surrendered and were
taken to Los Angeles for arraign-
ment.
Another big government job was
halted for time by a sit-doWn
strike of employees of the Electric
Boat company at Groton, Conn.,,
which is building submarines for
the navy. There, however, the local
and state police soon evicted the
trespaSSers and arrested them, and
the rest of the employees, a large
majority, resumed work.
Sit-doWn strikers in the plant of
the Fansteel Metallurgical corpora
tion at North Chicago, ILL.,, who de-
fed court eviction orders, were
routed by force of deputies and
police armed with tear gas guns and
were arrested for contempt of court.
Also taken into custody was the
strike leader, Max Adelman, who
had fled to Wisconsin. The strikers
and their friends insisted they would
prevent the reopening of the plant
by strong picket lines and the cor
poration obtained an injunction
against such procedure. The sheriff
said he was prepared to deal with
any act of violence. This is another
c. I. o. strike, and Governor Horner
of Illinois gained no glory in his
efforts to settle it.
Among the many strikes in the
Detroit district was one of $50 en-
ployees, mostly girls, of the largest
WoolWorth store in Detroit They
planned to extend the strike to all
other units of the company there,
meanwhile keeping the big store
closed by the sit-down method.
Japan had two strikes that at
distance seemed amusing. A large
number Of geisha girls struck for
collective bargaining and 'Sat
down" in temple on top of noun
tain. Then the merchant marine Off
GERS employed by the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha, largest japanese
shipping company, struck because,
when the emperor was reviewing
the fleet last October, the COM
pany did not order the raising of
the national flag on all it's vessels.
This, said the officers, was an in
suit to the emperor and the ma
ton, and they demanded n
apology.

President Asks State
Soil Conservation Laws

IN IDENTICAL letters to the gov
L ernors of the 48 states Presi-
dent Roosevelt called on the state
legislatures to enact soil conserva-
ton laws which would supplement
the federal measures designed to
lessen the ravages of floods and dust
storms.
Along with his letter the President
sent the governors a copy of
model soil conservation bill pre-
pared by the Department of Agricul
ture. This provides for the organiza-
ton of soil conservation districts to
carry on erosion control projects
with federal aid and regulations for
use of land.
According to the plan the sug-
gested state laws would have no
bearing on federal soil conservation
benefits, but enactment of state
laws would be necessary before
state could receive any federal con,
servation funds.

the foreign secretary then went on
to declare that before Great Britain
even could consider returning the
reich's colonies or yielding League
of Nations mandates over former
German overseas possessions, tn e
security of Europe must be estab-
lished by a general accord.
Eden said the question of raw
materials for Germany was one in
which all the great powers who
had control of principal raw ma
terials were interested. In this con-
nection, he said that while til e
league should settle the colonial
matter, he could envisage an al
tentative method of approach
through diplomatic channels.
