wise ignored until the situation
became so involved with per
sonalities and patronage that
Mr.. Roosevelt himself finally
took q hand.
A S action was being demanded
"A by a floundering industry
crying for orderly guidance,
finally the commission voted to
fix prices for all different grades
of coal and different marketing
points, starting on a job involv-
ing 100000 prices. But they
ignored the law requiring public
hearings.
This enabled any interested
party to walk into court and
get an injunction almost auto
matically. One coal company
got one first, then came rail-
roads, and the city Of Cleveland.
But the commission stuck to
its price list, thus creating a
situation permitting free-pricing
of coal in one State and a higher
Government fixed price in an
other.
Just a few days ago, the COM
mission finally capitulated en-
tirely, withdrawing the whole
price scale. Now it is starting
in to hold hearings.
Chairman Hosford has voted
with the minority to deprive his
allied commissioner of patronage
powers, and a semblance Of
peace has been reeStablished.
Operators are holding daily
secret meetings at downtown
hotels. Preparations are being
made to promulgate new prices
within so days, and start all
over again.
THIS and other recent expert
L ences are said to have made
Mr.. r. and his closest advisers
somewhat pesSimiStic about
their own commissions. Almost
exactly the same thing has hap
pened within iva where Mr..
Lillienthal has established HIM
self boss by lining up a vote to
overthrow Chairman Morgan on
all subjects.
Latest Of Mr.. Lillienthal's &C
compliShmentS was an an
nouncement at Knoxville that
he was negotiating to buy the
privately owned power plant and
transmission lines there. What
The Washington times., 1938-03-03

worries the Administration Is
that the PWA has invested
100000 in the opposite pol
icy Of underwriting construction
Of competitive municipal plants.
Indeed the PWA has taken
100000 worth of bonds in
Knoxville and promised to take
$240,000 for building a munich
pal plant there which seems to
make Mr.. Lillienthal's iva a
competitor to ruin Mr.. IckeS'
PWA policies.
Nobody complained as long as
iva used the Federal Treasury
to drive the private power COM
panieS out of business, but now
that he has turned to running
Mr.. Ickes out of business, there
may be trouble.
Thus goes the story of the
Government in business to date,
with the climax yev to be
reached.
BERNARD BARUCH'S teSti-
- mony made a deeper i'm.
preston upon Democratic Con.
gressmen because they gener.
ally have respect for his imper-
sonal judgment. What they
did not understand is how this
good friend Of the President
happened to go before a Con-
gressional committee with such
vigorous complaints against
White House handling Of busi-
ness.
Truth is this point bothered
Mr.. Baruch also. After reading
the headlines of his first-day
testimony, he arranged pri-
vately with committeeman to
be asked certain questions the
second day, bringing out the
fact that he favors much Of
what the, White House has done.
The processing tax plan being
drafted by Senator Pope would
raise about $160,000,000 with
$1O0, 100000 for cotton and $780,
100000 for wheat. 1t is just a
groundwork legislative proposal
for next year.

z FIELD GOALS.
BY CUFF DEFEAT
ALL-STAR TEAM
BY LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 G.NIS.)
Ward Cuff, a tall, husky young
man who spent his undergraduate
days at Marquette. has worked hi,
way into the records as one oi
footballs great kickerS and to him
almost solely was traceable today
the New York professional giants
third straight victory over college
all-stars.
You might go further and say
Cuff won the game all by him
self, except that some one had
to hold the ball when he kicked
two field goals and teammates saw
that he was unmoleSted.
TWO FIELD GOALS
The final score of 6 to 0 is
pretty much the story Of the game
"a game that was nStleSS and de-
void of thrills and strictly a giant
procession from the outset before
a crowd Of 10000, a record-breaker
for the charity event.
It must have been the heat,
which was quite terrific for q
September evening, that slowed
the game and deprived it Of the
spectacular, except for Cuffs boot.
ing. In any case, he practically
stole the show by scoring twice
from the 43-yard line with accur'
ate placements on angle shots.
For his performance he was
voted the most valuable player
among the Giants, while to Andy
Stopper, late Of Villanova, went
similar honors as representative
or the collegianS who shone on
myriad gridironS last season.
But none of them ever faced
and turned back a more de.
termined and better sustained
hammering around the goallineS
than they did last night, with the
Giants constantly threatening to
score but never quite able to do
it except via Cuffs toe.
It was when the Giants serl'
ously threatened that Wojcieho-
wicz of F'ordham, Toll of Prince
ton, Franco Of Fordham, MatiSi
and Souchak of Pitt, HesSberg Of
Yale, and Stopper mustered the de-
fense they so badly lacked at other
times and managed to stave off
touchdownS.
SPECTACULAR PASSING
The Giants got some passing
from Ed Danowski that bordered
on the spectacular, while the one
outstanding performance pre-
sented by the recent collegians
was the all-around play Of Stopper
and the punting Of Dave Colwell,
ex.Yale Blue.
The Giants smashed their way
to six first downs against four
made 78 yards rushing against a
paltry eight, completed 10 passes
against four, ran back puntS 80
yards to 80, and overcame 35 yards
in penalties compared with 25.
