ploded before it hit the ground, al
though there is some uncertainty.
Blazes from the burning wreckage
attracted crowds from miles around.
A rainstorm drenched the flames.
Maj. Maxwell advanced a theory
vapor from a broken gas line may
have gathered in the passenger COM
partment of the ship, that the pilot
sensed his distress and sought a
landing-but a spark set off the ex-
plosion before a clearing could be
found in the dark.
A witness to the catastrophe, Bob
Long, said the plane circled the
town, obviously seeking to land. He
watched its lights as it swung wide
over the rural terrain.
Suddenly fash lighted the
countryside and buildings in the
town-2l2 miles away-were shaken
by the blast.
Citizens rushing to the scene were
impeded by an almost impossible
road.

100 per cent of finished parts are

tees report. One prominent Repub-
lican said he would get to the bot
tom of a story that Mr.. Hopkins
once remarked at race track:
I'VE will spend and spend and tax
and tax and elect and elect"
Mr.. Hopkins has denied he ever
made the remark
When he chose Mr.. Hopkins for
Secretary of Commerce, Mr.. Roose-
welt scratched off one Office from his
list of major posts to be filled. He
is expected to announce soon a sue
cessor to Attorney General Cum
mlngs and to the late Justice Car
dozo.
Some informed legislators said
they had been advised Mr.. Roosevelt
would name Gov. Frank Murphy OF
Michigan as Attorney General. Mr.
Cummings has resigned, effective
in January, although the date he will
leave has not been fixed
There were general expressions OF
approval in the Senate at Mr.. Roose
velt's selection of Col. Harrington as
w. P. A. administrator. The Senate
will not act on Col. Harrington's
appointment, because he will remain
on the Army pay roll and will be
designated acting administrator.
Seen Grooming Hopkins.
One pro-administration Senator
j. Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, of Illi-
nois, said Mr.. Rosevelt's appoint
ment of Mr.. Hopkins indicated the
latter was being groomed for the
presidency.
p The President" Senator Lewis
asserted, cant be blind to the fact
that Hoover got the presidency first
by being Secretary of Commerce."
Shortly I shall go to the Big
Boss (the President and make bold
to ask whether he wishes by this
appointment to direct me to aban-
don Roosevelt for third term and
accept Hopkins for a first term"
There was some speculation that
Mr.. Hopkins elevation to the cabi-
net had cleared the way for fun
damental changes in New Deal re-
lief methods.
Many students of Government af-
fairs believe that the end of w. p.
A. as it has been operated since its
creation in 1885 is at hand. They
look for Congress to put restrictive
laws about it and the administra-
ton itself to place less emphasis
on the w. P. A. method of meeting
depression here.
Instead, they forecast greater en-
phasis on such undertakings as So
cial security with its unemployment
insurance program and on restora-
ton of private employment.
Also, If the clamor over w. P. A.
in Congress produces results in pro-
portion to criticism, the trend next
session will be the shift more of
the relief burden back to the States
and to take away from the admins
tration free hand in distributing
whatever relief funds Con- Lress does
approve.
At the some time, Congress Is ex-
pected to write into law rigid re-
strictions against w. P. A. activity.

estimates, refusing to mention the
amount he thought needed to pre-
vent a complete shutdown of the
program after February 7.
But there will be no backing
away from the idea of deficiency
appropriation, he emphasized.
Sees Two Responsibilities.
Col. Harrington said he saw two
big responsibilities" in administer
ing the work relief program.
The first is to see that the money
gets into hands of people out of
jobs" he said THE next respon-
sibility is to try to get the most
value and useful work results out
of the people on w. P. A. rolls"
He drew what former Admins
traitor Hopkins would call a real
istic distinction" between the work
program and President Roosevelt S
proposed enlarged national defense
program. He protested that the two
are separate things and should
be kept separated in mind. There
"NAS ooiiAS JiiaoSo VA any llollOildl
defense program, he suggested, how
ever, which could be handled by
people on work relief. Such phases
he said, included some of the en-
gineering work and light construc-
ton at Army posts
Col. Harrington paid a character
ristic tribute to Mr.. Hopkins, under
whom he has had charge of all
w. P. A. engineering work since
1885. Mr.. Hopkins, he said, had
helped him get his feet on the
ground" He smiled and added
I've got mighty big pair Of shoes
to fill"
The new administrator will not
draw the $4,000 salary that goes
with the job. He will continue on
his own Army pay.
Col. Harrington. who is 81. is a
widower and the father of two
children.

BY NELSON NJ. SHEPARD.


Col. Francis c. Harrington, who
succeeds to the w. P. A. post vacated
by Harry l.. Hopkins, intends to
keep the Works Progress Admins
tration on an unaltered course, for
the present at least, and to try to
get along with Washington poll
ticians.
Il don't propose to make any
radical changes in policy; I shan't
be a bull in china shop" the new
administrator said at a press con-
ference last evening.
Col. Harrington, a tWo-hsted West
Point engineer who acts and talks
directly, said that, from now until
next July !, the work relief program
will be conducted as now planned
After that. he indicated, there prob
ably would be some slight changes
or revisions to meet conditions as
they arise. However, he explained.
he certainly had no radical
changes in mind.

rington said he was lust an Army

Asked pointedly if he intended to
play BALI with the politicians,
he shot back this reply:
ANY man would be considered
a damn fool if he didn't try to CO.
operate with the people in Wash
ington who made this program
possible"
Col. Harrington. in reply to an
other question, said there has been
no change in forecasts of w. P. A.
officials that there must be a de-
flciency appropriation to continue
w. P. A. from February to June

Cards, Beaten At
Hutchinson 35-17

The weather was warm Friday
night but the Redwood Falls
Cardinals were cold as they were
defeated by the unhealthy score
of 35 to II by the Hutchinson
High cage team, in game played
at the Hutchinson arrhory. -
They were so cold that at the
halftime only one field goal and
two free throws were registered
on their side of the tally board.
They had consistently driven un-
der the basket to miss set-up
after setup. In the same period
the Mcleod county lads had
succeeded in spearing IA points.
The Cards Jared slightly better
in the last half gathering IS
points, while Hutchinson was adj
ding 81 to its halftime total. The
Hutchinson coach stated after the
tilt that his team played its best
game in eight starts.
The ponies were high scorers
for the Cards, Duea leading with
10 points and Dickmeier follow
ing with 6. Crooks contributed
the other point. Schramm led
Hutchinson with IL markers and
close on his heels was Kraesean
with 10. The game was married
with many fouls, Is being called
on Redwood and II on Hutchin-
son.

ELECTRICS WIN
COUNTY TITLE

The Modern Electric basketball
team is the champion of the Red
wood County Amateur league fol-
lowing their decisive win, 81 to
26, over Walnut Grove in the fin
ais of the county tourney at Wal
Lut Grove Saturday night. LAM
berton defeated Belview 81 to "a
to take the third place honors.
The Electrics led during the
entire game, IL to 4 at the quart
er and 81 to Is at the halftime.
They then really turned on the
power to add another 81 points
in the third period, while holding
the Grove boys to seven points.
Wallblom and Zimmerman were
again the high point getters as
well as the outstanding stars on
the floor. Wallblom led with %
points, Zimmerman followed with
10 and Peterson got the remain
ing II. Holstein for Walnut Grove
led his teammates with IL points.
In the consolation game, the
Belview quint looked tired and
did not play up to its season
standard. Lamberton led prac-
tically all the way, holding a 25
to Ia advantage at the half. The
Rongstad brothers stood out for
the winners and Holland and Sid
Hagen carried the brunt for Bel
view.

CHECK-UP SHOWS 80
CHAMPIONSHIPS
REPRESENTED

Members of the Modern Electric
basketball team got to counting UP
around the breakfast table the
other morning and found some 80
championships represented, not
counting the Redwood County
Amateur league banner which
they annexed as group Saturday
might.
Wally Zimmerman contributed
Is of the 80 championships, in
Guiding four with the Hamline
university team in the state coll
lege conference. Zimmerman
started his cage career with Ber-
tina, Minnesota, and his team won
two class B district titles back in
1928 and 1929. He then went to
Chinook, Montana, where his
team won the sub-district and
district meets in 1880 and re-
peated the climb in 1881 to annex
the state title, five more cham
pionships. That year Chinook
played at the national high school
meet in Chicago. His other four
championships include: Midi Cen
trail champs, Minnesota AAU
league champs and Minneapolis
Park board champs.
Chuck 'Wallblom, University of
Minnesota star, first appeared on
the cage horizon in 1929 when the
Johnson High school team, ST.
Paul, won city and district honors.
They repeated in 1881. Wallblom's
other titles are: Mid-Central 1881,
Junior State YMCA 1928, Senior
State YMCA 1881 and Wright
county champions 1887.
Eilif Miller's record includes
two intra-mural cage champion
ships at Carleton while Clark Ar
mott was a member of the Glen
wood High school team when it
led its district in 1929, 80 and 81.
Ed Heise played with the Boelus,
Nebraska, High school team in
1929 and 80 for district honors.
Only native son on the team,
Don Peterson claims Saturdays
was his first championship. He
starred, however, as a Redwood
Falls High school and Gustavus
Adolphus player, being named to
1929 and 80 for. district honors.

Checker Players Win

Moving against .. A. Holt, state
checker champion and his team of
four Willmar men, an aggregation
of Redwood Falls, Belview and
Morton players won 81 to 40 at
the city hall here Tuesday night.
A crowd, numbering 60 at one
time, watched the match which
was described as one of the best
checker enthusiasts in this vicin-
ity have ever seen.
William Stoneback chalked up
16 points, losing only two matches
and those to Holt. Play in each
looked like a draw until the last
few moves. August Fink of Nor
ton also played strong games,
winning five, drawing two and
losing three. Holt won all of his
10 matches but his teammate Sig
Nelson lost all 10 of his to, even
things up.
The local team included Fink,
Stoneback, John Peterson and
Martin Mogen of Belview and A.
L. Britton of Redwood Falls.
Holt played a blindfold match
against seven opponents who con-
suited on moves, and beat them.

Coop Oil Directors
Vote 10 Dividend

At a meeting of directors of the
Scenic City Cooperative Oil as
ISOLATION recently, it was decided
to pay a patronage dividend of
seven per cent on all purchases
made during 1897. The dividends
will be paid in merchandise cou-
pons to patrons who are stock
holders and credits toward the
purchase of stock will be set up
for patrons who are not stock
holders.
In arriving at the per cent of
patronage dividend the directors
took into consideration amounts
put into permanent. equipment in
vestment during the year and the
legal requirement of 10 per cent
of the net earnings to be put into
permanent reserve. Improvements
required an outlay of about 81 200
while old age security and unem-
ployment taxes were another new
item of expense and totaled about
$500. All of these items were paid
out of the earnings for 1897 and
total about $4,000.
The dividend coupons will be
ready for distribution the latter
part of March.
