A short cut through the valley
football situation:
Brawley and Holtviile grid teams
again have proved to be the sur
prise teams of the league
Holtville smothered saint Augustine
Thursday night and Brawley upset
the Sweetwater applicant Friday
night.
Holtvilles Jack Gray was not i'm
pressive as Holtville routed the
Saints but the all-valley back from
Vikingville will be ready when the
regular season opens.
Brawley's victory over Sweetwat-
er may prove costly. Lon Leedom,
half back. suffered a broken collar
hone and will be out for at least
a month. Ralph Skiles filled
in well in the backfield He
tossed the pass for the first touch
down.
Sasaki did good Job of punting
and gained large chunk of Braw-
by's yardage He place
kicked the extra point.
The Wildcat line, though lighter
than any other forward wall in the
valley, appeared to be the best. .
The Brawley line moved Sweet
water from one end of the fielo 10
the other and left holes large
senoueh to drive a truck through :.
Noble. McMurdo, and Harwell
were outstanding on defense. .
Calexico, though the Eench
Warmer hates to uncover Ed Cow
ington's strategy, used second and
third stringers through a large
portion of the game. Sander
scored a touchdown as soon as the
varsity entered the game.
The Bulldogs are still rated the
team TO beat the conference, though
all teams will be tough when the
season opens.
Fl Centro was not impressive in
losing to Point Iona. but the
Spartans flashed brilliance in spots.
The backfield is green but
= gained ysrdage against Point Iona
when timing and blocking were
working together. The line
was not as powerful as preseason
predictions indicated, but on the oc
casions the forward wall charged
forward. Point Iona plays were
stopped.
That fact indicates if the El
Centrans drive and carry out the
fundamentals taught to them the
Spartans will be in the thick of the
pennant fight when the season
opens
Ted Sander. diminutive CaleXico
quarterback is one of the best liked
athletes to don a uniform in the
border city . Sander played
softball with the El Centro ALL
stars all summer and made a host
of friends in Ell Centre. The
question in phone calls Friday night
was How did Sanocz do?". Fewer
were interested in the outcome of
the game. . -.
Jack kirkpatrick, FL Centro half
back, proved he had the stuff Fri
day night. He ran the oaIl
well. kicked superbly and tackled
with a deadliness that was delight
ful to see If he continues
TO play his best he will be among
the valleys outstanding backs.
BUD Measures did fair job OF
signal calling, but needs experience.
Harlan and Brown of HottYille
will be among the toughest liremen
in the league if Saint Augustine
players are 70 be believed.
Both Holtville boys cracked down
on Saint ball carriers Thursday
night with a vengeance. -.
Valley league officials did fine
Jobs on all fronts this weekend
They'll keep the jobs as arbiters
this season.

by a policeman there has been an in
vestigation by the appropriate agency
either the coroner or the grand jury
and in no recent case has a police ofiicer
been charged with unnecessary bru-
tally" While that fact alone does not
preclude the possibility that such bru-
tally existed, it does, in the absence of
new evidence, raise strong presump-
ton to that effect.
Unless convincing evidence already
has been discovered, the members OF the
bar association should proceed carefully
with the investigation and should be most
discreet in giving publicity to charges
against the police unless they appear
to be well-founded. It should be remem-
bered that the Police Department has q
difhcult job at best, and that its work can
be hampered by the untimely publica-
ton Of reports to the bar association
which might be construed by the casual
reader as condemning by implication the
activities of the department in particular
cases despite the fact that the proper
law enforcement agencies have exoner-
ated the officers involved.

New Librarian.

Every friend of the Library of Congress
will agree In the hope that q man may
be found possessed of genius equal to
the task of succeeding Dr. Herbert
Putnam. Such persons are few; perhaps
the ideal administrative head for great
photographic institution is born only
once in a century. Yet, remembering
the appointment of Dr. r. D. w. Conner
to be archivist of the United States, the
public need not despair of the discovery
OF competent candidate. Training and
experience, of course, are desired; tact
fitness, gentle manners and talent for
cooperation, also. The new librarian
should be a scholar, a philosopher with
executive skill He should come to the
position free to make notable record
in the discharge of its duties and
responsibilities.
Happily, he has one advantage in the
fact that Congress has provided that he
may have the help of DR.. Putnam as
librarian emeritus. The retiring incum-
bent is not really retiring. At seventy
seven he is much too young to rest.
Instead, there is reason to expect that
he will be active during at least another
decade. His family is distinguished for
energetic longevity, and those who know
him best are familiar with the vitality
of his body as we'll as his mind and spirit.
He can outwalk almost any youngster,
his ordinary hours of labor are double
those Of his average contemporary.
Moreover, he is keenly interested in GER
tain unfinished business" of high i'm
portance to the Nation-enterprise
which he desires to complete before he
passes from the scene he has loved and
in which he has served so we'll.
The time probably is not ripe for tell
ing how much his country is indebted
to DR.. Putnam. If the Library is today
the largest and richest establishment of
its kind in the world. the credit may be
traced back to his devotion, his efficiency,
his zeal for achievement of useful tri-
umphs. He cannot be replaced. But,
fortunately that issue now may be I'M
dertaken piecemeal. His successor can
be nominated and gradually, with his
assistance, trained to carry on the tradi-
ton of the Library's integrity and
reputation.

Defining Monopolies.

Insistence Of Senators Borah and
o'Mahoney, active proponents and COM
mittee members for the pending gov
ernmental investigation of monopolistic
practices, that the inquiry will not turn
into an instrument for new political at
tacks on American business is q reassur-
ing note.
It is to be hoped that their spoken
determination will not be overpowered by
partisan forces which might be con-
cerned more with campaign possibilities
than with salutary study of business
methods.
To be most effective, the investigating
committee must thread its course care
fully through what has undoubtedly
become the most complex industrial and
financial maze ever existent. America
Is Nation virtually founded on bigness
and efficiency Of the high .pressure type.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1938-06-21

OF themselves, these qualities are neither
unlawful nor necessarily bad and careful
distinction must be made between con-
centrations Of business wealth which are
monopolistically repressive and those
which are simply big.
Through operation OF the latter, for
instance, have come such BENEFITS as
low-cost production, large-scale employ
ment and generally praiseworthy utiliza-
ton of capital.
This is not to say, of course, that the
evils which prompted the pending in
quiry do not exist, for instances of
monopolistic practices have been but
poorly concealed in some Of the con-
temporary industrial financial develop
ments. Exposure Of these and recon-
mendations directed toward keeping the
business structure clear Of such malig-
nant growths would constitute a note
worthy service by the probe committee
and should mark the boundaries Of its
activities.

Unnecessary Brutality.'

The report of the Civil Rights Com
mittee of the District Bar Association,
urging that the association investigate
"a series of killings by police under cir
cunstances which have led to charges
of unnecessary brutality" should be
carefully scrutinized by the organized
lawyers of the District.
In the first place 1t is eminently proper
that the members of the bar association
should interest themselves in any viola
tons of civil rights by the police. and in
any flaws in court procedure that may
tend to defeat such rights. The nature
of their professional duties gives them
a more realistic view of the true facts
than can be had by citizens in other
walks of life, and if, as lawyers and
officers of the court, they know of in
justices it is decidedly In the interests
Of society that they move to correct them.
Secondly, it should be noted that the
report was made by committee Of able
and reputable attorneys. That fact, of
itself, is sufficient to command the full
attention of the association and the
public.
But, while the report merits earnest
attention, it should be studied in the
light OF the facts Of each case. No
mention Is made Of newly discovered
evidence and no specific killings are
iescribed
Presumably in the case Of every killing

Accident Prevention.

A welcome contribution to the ever
needful campaign against highway fatal
tiles has been made by the Junior Board
of Commerce through the establishment
of an Accident Prevention Institute. The
institute will present the best available
advice of experts to the public in series
of ten weekly sessions
1t is reassuring to observe an organ
ization such as the Junior Board of
Commerce, composed of business men
under thirty-flve, demonstrate that 1t Is
fully aware of the Nations disgraceful
highway toll and that it will try to help
make motoring safer.
The institutes founding comes ut an
opportune time. too-at the start Of the
summer. Tratac authorities repeatedly
have warned that warmer weather
means faster driving, and faster driving
means more accidents"
Such statements cannot be repeated
too often. They should be particularly
borne in mind now lest the downward
trend in accidents this year be halted.
Although the death list is still far too
high, automobile accidents have dropped
10 per cent in the first five months of
1888 despite an increase in automobile
registrations and in gasoline consump-
ton.
It is through efforts such as the one
being made by the Junior Board of
Commerce that day by day casualties
can be cut and the 1888 record main.

Plea Made for
Scientific Government.
To the Editor Of The Star:
WE ARE living in an age when
science has much to offer mankind
and We do not seem to know how to
use 1t to the best advantage.
It seems to me that scientific govern
ment Is the logical solution for the
times.
Science searches for the truth in all
things and is willing to abide by the
truth when 1t finds it. We have reached
the time when we must have govern
ment for the masses. and the Govern
ment must provide a means OF liveli-
hood for all the people. To do this. we
must have a different kind of Govern
ment. and one that is capable Of
handling the job.
We do not like Socialism we do not
like Communism, We do not like Fascism,
we do not like Nazism and we have
tried q middle -the-road course and
1t is huge failure,
AS early as the next election, or soon
afterward, we will have to look for a
new type of government. Right now,
the Republican party is working on
program aimed to carry the Re-
publican party to victory in the 1910
election.
The Democratic party is oiling and
printing its machinery so the momentum
VIII carry it across the 1910 line. Thus
the people whose welfare should be
the chief aim Of our Government are
left more or less in the lurch.
Any program carrying huge expendi-
lures, such as the New Deal, should
have been put before the people squarely
before 1t was inaugurated and the people
educated to its wisdom and necessity,
as its failure can be attributed at
least so per cent to unwillingness of
the people to carry out the provisions of
the program. The other so per cent of
failure was the fault Of the program
itself.
Therefore, we. should forget there
Is any such word as Democrat, Re-
publican. Communist, Socialist or what
soever and face the facts and work
Tor the good Of all the people. We
should all become square dealists."
This Government must be well chosen
and the people must be back of 1t. so
that 1t can and must function we'll
