Farm and
Home Authority, chairman Of
the national purge committee;
but, as you know, these are
only avocations to his real work
as master mind in Government
for everything that no one else
thinks Of first. He has more
hands that you have fingers,
and each Of them Is generally
in an individual pie.
This time he plucked the wage
hour plum at the expense OF
Labor Secretary Perkins, II, In
deed he did not take it directly
from her hand.
"BiR Name" Needed
MISS PERKINS, 1t appears.
Wk had loaned her able young
assistant Labor Department So
licitor, Rufus Poole, to Wage
Hour Administrator Andrews as
soon as Andrews arrived on the
scene here to organize the new
Government agency. Poole ad'
vised Andrews on legal phases
of the wage-hour law. His
friends thought he was certain
to get the appointment.
Andrews, however, said he
wanted a big name in the job
at the start. Professor Magru-
der, assistant dean Of the Har-
ward Law School, an associate
and friend of Felix Frankturter.
came up-as Harvard names
do. DR.. Magruder, however, had
doubts about his ability to get
leave Of absence.
Who should volunteer but
TGC. He caught q train, went
to Boston, arranged Magruder'S
leave Of absence for q year.
WHILE this is further con-
w elusive evidence that the
Wage-Hour Administration is
not under Miss Perkins, the in
side groups say no harsh feel
ings were caused by the failure
Of Poole to get the job. They
understand he will take over in
o year when Magruder goes
back to Harvard.
To the Rescue
OENATOR TYDINGS has 1S-
- sued some thousand or more
mimeographed statements pro
claiming that he had not op-
posed the railroad labor rela-
tions act as contended, but
really supported 1t in absentia.
The statement was true, but
the credit should go to Leslie
Biffle, secretary Of the Demo
cratic majority in the Senate.
Fact is Tydings could not re-
member how he voted on the
act, called Biffle and asked him
to look up the record. Biffle
found Tydings was absent the
day Of the vote but an an
nouncement had been made on
the floor by Whip Lewis that
Tydings would have supported
the measure, had he been
present.
Biffle then recalled that on
the day Of the vote he had not
heard from Tydings, but
thought the Maryland Senator
wanted to support the measure.
He, therefore, took the RESPONSE
btlity of getting Senator Lewis
to make the announcement.
When Tydings found out
about it this week, he elected
Biffle his creditor for life.
MOTEL is customary in
~ the Senate for Biffle to
write out such announcements
for Senator Lewis. It has been
since Biffle sent a verbal mes
sage to Lewis one day to an
nounce the absence Of q Ger.
tain Senator because Of a mar
riage in his family. Lewis some
how got the message wrong,
announced the Senator was alb
sent because Of "a domestic
emergency"

WHITE HOUSE planners were
w disappointed when the Presi-

got lost in the publicity shuttle
of his Maryland tour.
Obviously trying to meet
third-term talk, Mr.. Roosevelt

Now everyone knows plans for
the bridge are to start immedi-

said so in the same speech.
Thus, the remark constituted an
announcement that he intends

STEELE PUTS TURNER DOWN
 THREE TIMES

ROCHESTER. NY, Feb. 3. = Flooring his opponent three times in less than two minutes, Freddie Steele, Middleweight Champion, knocked out Bob Turner in the first round of a scheduled Hereunder overweight fight here last night.
 Coming out of his corner with a rush, Steele spared with the New port News fighter then shot a right to the chin which floored Turner for the count of nine, after the fight was barely 15 seconds old.
 Turner regained his feet and Steele rushed in with lefts and rights to the head and Turner went down, this time for the count of eight.
 No sooner had Turner risen than Steele floored him the third time
 Turner staggered to his feet and the Champion threw jolting left to the jaw. Turner bounced off the ropes to the floor and was counted out
 Brigadier General John Phelan, Chairman of the New York State Boxing Commission, said Turner's share of the purse will be held up pending investigation.

DEMOLAY FIVE WIN VICTORY
 OVER FIREMEN
Lodgemen Defeat Flame Battlers After Poor
 Start Last Night

It was Is to in favor of the Fire men as the first quarter ended, but despite poor start the DeMolay league -leacing five turned tradi- tional tables to their advantage by the end of the half and walked away with last nights basketball game by a final score of A to fl.
 Playing in the High School gym nasium where enthusiastic rooters braved the Taku to see the game, the two teams started last nights single header at a slow pace. Even the Bremen, though they tallied eight field goals in the first quar- ter, moved with a minimum of pep. aided by their opponents lack of opposition
 DeM0lay Drive
 The second quarter saw the be- ginning of a DeMolay drive which brought the score to tie after eight minutes of play, but a last minute score by high point man, Joe Snow, gave the Bremen a two point lead.
 Increased checking and superior passing gave the DeMolays the lead throughout the second half, as the Bremen found their heretofore easy shots now landing in purple setups. Both sides gave way to some furious, long passes which more than half the time missed their des- tination, and the game during the third quarter was marked by races up and down the court with shot attempts occasionally going through.
 Raise Score The DeMolays raised their score ante to 34 over the Firemen's 26 as the third quarter ended, and con- tinued to maintain their lead through to the final whistle, despite a last-minute Bremen drive.
 Sammy Nelson, Ray Manthey and Elmer Lindstrom kept up the score for the DeMolays, with Nelson play ing in good shooting form through out the whole game.

POUCKKEEPSIE REGATTA DATE
 IS ARRANGED

NEW YORK, Fep. 9-The Inter- collegiate Rowing Association has unanimously rejected proposal ot the rowing coaches that the versity race of the Poughkeepsie regatta be shortened from tour miles to three.
 The decision of the Board of Stewards was the most Important business of the I. R. A. meeting at which the date Of this years re- gatta was set for Monday, June 27 with the freshman race starting at 2:45 D. m. eastern standard time) and the junior varsity and varsity events an hour and two hours la ter. The starting time, as usual, will be dependent on the tide.
 The coaches proposal was made at their associations meeting here in December. in an effort to bring the University of Pennsylvania, a charter member of the LA, back to the regatta Penn withdrew from last years regatta, because the Quakers had no home course in which to prepare for a four mile race.
 New Course
 It was learned from c. Louis Borrie III, Penn's representative on the Board of Stewards, that. owing to unfavorable conditions on the Lower Schuylkill River, Rusty Cal lows crews will train part of the time on the Flat Rock Dam course this spring and will hold the Blackwell Cup regatta on that course in May
 Borrie said that the Flat Rock Dam course provided a four and a half mile straightaway, both up- stream and downstream, and was far superior to the old course on the Lower Schuylkill. This will solve Penn's difficulties in training for the Poughkeepsie race and Bor- re said he expected Penn to parti- cipate in the regatta of 1889.
 Six times in the past the varsity race of the IRA. has been less than four miles in length. The race was three miles on Lake Saratoga, N. r., in 1898; two miles on Lake Ca yuga, Ithaca, N. Y, in 1920, and three miles on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, in 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924.
 Reasons Given
 The stewards gave four reasons for keeping the varsity race at four miles. They were:
 1.-The four mile race is better test of rowing skill than shorter race and takes a better crew to win 1t.
 2.-In their opinion a four-mile race entails no undue strain on a well conditioned oarsman.
 3.-Four miles is the classic dis tance and has been rowed by OK ford and Cambridge for over 100 years by Yale and Harvard and the three original members of the I. R.

PROGRESSIVISM
OF JEFFERSON
Justice Given Medal at
Welfare Farley

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Nov. "a
More universal use of the progress
sive ideas of Thomas Jefferson
was urged upon the nation by
Justice Hugo L. Black in an ad
dress here last night.
Justice Blacks Commute speech
first in Alabama since he was
named to the highest tribunal
came after he had been awarded
the Thomas Jefferson Medal Of
the Southern Conference fol
Human Welfare.
The ALBANIAN, whose elevation
to the Supreme Court caused con
siderable controversy, was de
scribed by the society as 'the
Southerner who has done most to
promote human welfare"
JEFFERSON REAL LIBERAL
Recalling Jefferson's firm belief
In public education and wide own
ership of land, Justice Black de.
clared:
He believed the means adopt
ed by each generation should be
adapted to its needs. He con-
demned as absurd the static
condition that all methods of
past ages are adequate for fu-
ture conditions, which condi-
tons were both unknown and
tlnknowable to the past age.
His only fixed formula for
achieving continuously the peo-
pies welfare at all periods was
that they should be educated
and left wholly free to think,
formulate opinions and openly
discuss them"
HUMAN WELFARE FIRST
Justice Black quoted Jefferson's
prescription for good government
as equal justice to all and special
privileges to none" In concluding
his address he made a strong plea
that governments give first i'm
portance to the welfare and hap
piness Of human beings"
Especially referring to the prob
lens of the South, Justice Black
said that "es you serve the South
you serve the nation"
RAP JIM CROW LAWS
The conference, at the conclu.
sion of Justice Blacks address.
voted condemnation of Jim
Crow laws and decided not to
hold a meeting again in a city
which had segregation ordinances
on its statute books. Governor
Bibb Graves of Alabama later
said he was Shocked" at the reso
