Catholic University's track and field
meet Saturday night was a fitting
climax to winters indoor sports season
for local colleges. But before turn
ing our attention to the impatient
athletes whose current cry is When
do We get outdoors?" it Is timely to
note several points on the winter. in
general, and c. s meet. in particular
Two colleges. George Washington
and c. u. did all right by local crowds
whose sizes were limited because Of
the lack of more spacious facilities.
G. WIS basket ball team won every
game it played in Washington and
C. US boxing team finished unde-
feated.
The Colonials dropped four out-of-
town games, but IA victories in 10
starts entitled them to the top rank
ing hereabout as the Cardinals clean
ring slate gave them a record equal
to any in the country.
And if We were picking an all-Dk-
trict five. we'd put Charley Norton of
Maryland on it along with Tom
O'Brien. Jack Butterworth and Bob
Faris of G. w. and Mike Petroskey
of Georgetown. despite the Terp's in
eligible status during the last half of
the season.
With scoring average higher than
any player in local ranks when he
was forced to quit. Norton. in our
opinion. produced the spark in the
Old Line machine which gave it the
momentum to finish its season in a
burst OF glory. He was the best of
, the five when he played.
c. U. Meet Capably Conducted.
Now, to that C. U. meet, which
every one agreed was conducted in as
competent manner as any ever run
of in the Capital.
It wasn't any one thing that pro-
duced the impression of q Job we'll
done, but a steady stream Of small
things which gratified even the pop
'ularly-conceived hard-boiled press.
Drivers of automobiles were shown
where to park. courteous ushers led
the way quickly to seats. and, most
important of all, the result of each
event was announced over the ampli-
flying system promptly and clearly.
The usual arduous task Of covering"
a track meet was rendered compara-
lively easy by such service.
Whom do we thank most, Director
Dorsey Griffith? You, or such as
sistants as Fod Cotton, Dutch Berg
man, Earle Thomson, Kip Edwards.
Yank Robbins, Vincent Fraatz and
a host Of others space compels us to
fail to mention?
Take bow, also, for reinforcing
the north wall Of the c. U. gym. If
you hadn't, those sprinters would have
run right straight through instead of
merely climbing half way up!
He went unnoticed by all but few
observers Of the two-mile run. After
all. the thirteenth man to finish in
a race Of 13 seldom draws the attention
! of any one, yet the young chap with
No. 681 on his back was making such
an effort to finish in the face of ap-
parently heavy odds that one was in
quisitive of his plight.
From his teammates it was learned
that he was suffering from q stomach

JOURNALISM SCHOOL

AMES, Iowa, Mar. 16. (UP) -
Pblisher of a successful weekly
newspaper for five years, Victor
Bluedorn, 20, is attending Iowa
State college to study journalism.

moved the machinery to Walcott
and had plant of his own.
A subscription contest gave him
an assured circulation and won
for the newspaper the designation
of one of the county's official
publications.
While Bluedorn is at college,
its being managed by an associate
editor, %; a managing editor, 81;
bushes manager, Fl, and an ad-
vertising manager, As.
The Tribune, stresses local and
farm news.

dorm said.
Victor intends to follow the
newspaper business after gradua
ton.

ANOTHER ELECTION FARCE IN THE oFFING

Having seized Austria by armed force, Adolf
Hitler tells the world that he has liberated" that
country and that the people there shall now have
"true plebiscite,' whereby they can make their
authentic national will perfectly evident to every
body.
One can easily imagine the sort of true plebls-
cite this election will turn out to be. It'll be mod
eled, no doubt after elections held recently IN
Germany or the one in Soviet Russia. In each IN
stance there was but one ticket and those VINO

8. A number of prominent citizens of Salzburg
including two Jewish merchants, the editor OF

the president of the Salzburg Labor Bureau, and q
number of police officers were placed in "protec-
tive custody"-the same kind of custody Pastor
Neimoeller now enjoys in Germany.
a. Two Jewish newspapers at Vienna were sched-

10. An international News Service man who at

The Associated Press was forbidden to send photo

Austrians will have found out long before cleo
ton day that there is no true freedom for them
under Nazism. Their land has been seized, not
that they may have "liberty" or that they may
vote their 'true convictions" but because Hitler
erazed with power and the people dare not oppose
him.-Concord Herald Tribune.

GET TOGETHER IF POSSIBLE

GET TOGET Their If POSSibLE
Of course there is more indie
pendence in each nations having
it's own navy big enough to de-
fend itself against all corners.
Likewise there is more independ-
ence in each farmers having his
own combination reaper and
thresher.
But that means a heavy unnec-
essary expense unless the farm
er's grain fields are big enough
to keep his combine busy through
out harvest time. Usually one
such machine is sufficient to meet
the needs of a group of farmers
if they will cooperate together.
And if the democratic nations
would get together and work to-
getheG, a combination navy would
protect them all. Of course the
United States could build its own
navy big enough to be absolutely
independent Of the world if it
wished to spend money that way.
BY the same token, each well-to-
do man could have his own water
works, power plant, sewage sys-
TEN, police protection, education
al facilities, and let the. rest Of
the world go hang if he chose to
spend his money that way. But
good sense and good fellowship
argue against such policy. Intel
ligent cooperation is the keystone
of higher civilization.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

castically why the Senate doesn't
insist on applying the spoilS sys-
tenn to charwomen and others be-
low the $4,000 mark as we'll as to
technicians, lawyers and others
whose jobs seem to require train
ing, experience and ability rather
than political influence.
But he scarcely can afford to
veto the bill merely to fight the
Mcclellan rider. And the Senate,
no longer under his control
especially when it smells pie
shows every disposition to apply
similar provisions to the regular
executive department bills.
Senator George w. Norris, who
persuaded the Senate to exempt
TWAS engineers, chemists and
other experts from the rider,
branded the amendment "pie
counter" measure and was almost
alone in opposition. Other SEN
ators said they were better
judges of the qualifications of APP
pointees than the men who must
administer federal agencies and
employ them.
All articulate defenders of civil
service and the merit system de-
nounce the rider. Alfred Friendly,
who writes the column in the
Washington Daily News devoted
to the affairs and interests of fed
,ral employees, calls it "the harsh
est blow struck at the merit sys-
tenn by this Congress"
And it's doubtful whether the
House, although it has no interest
in increasing the patronage OF
senators, will stand out against the
iraid. +

WAsHINGToN.-No one ever
" has been able to keep the
Senate from raiding the govern
ment service merit system except
the House, and now it's up to the
House again.
The Senate stands by its APP
prevail of the Mcclellan amend
ment to the $l,412,454,465 indie
pendent offices appropriations bill
which provides that all new at
torneys and experts in independ-
ent federal agencies who receive
$4,000 or more year must be con-
frmed by the Senate.
II the amendment stands, it
means that all such jobs-running
INTO the thousands-wil become
items OF senatorial patronage. 1t
also has the effect of keeping such
Jobs outside the civil service and
dlscouraging hope of a govern
ment career service by informing
government employees below the
$4,000 mark that they can't get to
the top without political pull.
The measure would apply to
WPA, CCC, the Social Security
Board, PWA, the Federal Trade.
Tariff and Power commissions,
RFC, FILA, Hole, FCA, REA,
SEC and others.
House conferees on the bill
refused to agree to the Nickel
lar amendment and Chairman
Robert Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee is leading
the battle against it. But the
House is in the position of being
forced to hold up the vital ap-
preparations measure or give in to

PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBLE
FOR AGENT

Some folks say we should diff
ferentiate between Germany and
Hitler and between Italy and Mus
solini; that we should bear in
mind that Hitler is not Germany
nor Mussolini Italy.
True, in a measure. Yet what
Hitler says goes for all Germany
and what Mussolini says goes for
all Italy.
If l appoint someone to be my
agent and spokesman, / am re-
sponsible for what he says and

THE SHEPHERD OF MEN
"FURoRE" HITLER, BUFFER

-'Furore" Adolph Hitler is the champion
buffer of the ages, but his blutfing sue
ceeds which is all that is necessary to
make that course as good as any until 1t
blows I'D. If the free nations of Europe
got together and called Hitler's bluff in
determined way it would soon be definitely
demonstrated that he is braggart, blow
hard and tinhorn tyrant.
However, as suggested, as long as the
bluff works it is all right for Hitler's pur-
pose; and it seems it may work all right
for some time to come. 1t is clear that the
'Furore" has actually bluffed and eowed
the free nations and they are afraid to OPP
pose his plans and schemes. The present
one is a new role for John Bull, and the
old gentleman must know his country is in
a real jam, otherwise decisive steps would
be promptly taken to stop the antics OF the
wild man of Germany.
No doubt Germany lacks the financial re-
sources to fight major war; no doubt
there would develop much opposition at
home to a course which mightinvolVe that
cblitry in war ! But the question of forcing
Hitier's hand now, or waiting until he is
far on the way to a successful European
dictatorship is a problem of supreme i'm
Hottance" to England, as we'll as all the
other free nations of Europe.
The question is, Will Hitler be permitted
to over-run Europe, seize other countries
and force them into the German State, as
has been done in the case of Austria, or
will the free countries Withstand and de-
feat him?
The opinion of this newspaper lit is
merely our individual view is that the
'Furore" is bully who can be stopped
now with minimum of determined effort,
but once he has become a reincarnated
Caesar and dominates all of central Eu-
rope, England, France and Russia, if they
snrvive until that time, will find it gigan-
tic problem to save themselves from the
rapacity of this insane creature.
In short, Hitler could be stopped now at
al minimum cost in money and the other
tolls of war-probably without fighting a
war at all-within FIVE years the cost of
stopping him will mount toward the hor-
rors and toll of another World War.
Will Hitler be curbed and stopped now?
This newspapers does not think so. If he
makes false step and forces the free ma
tpns to take drastic action, the showdown
may come sooner than expected. Other
wise, Hitler will probably pursue the
course of taking over the small nations one
by one and consolidating them until he
feels able to bid defiance to the three large
nations opposing his plans
If finally successful, the "Furore" will
have to his credit the glory of having sue
cseded with the most monumental bluff in
the history of nations.

CARELESSNESS, NOT

DALLAS, Tex, Mar. 16. (UP).
Harry Hartz, Los Angeles racing

The main thing about driving
