CROSBY BARELY
 BEATS TECHMEN

Though rated "tune-up" oppon- ent for the more strenuous Valley league competition of next week, Leavenworth high schools hoopsters proved anything but that gainst a highly favored Crosby team last night, which had all it could do to win a 38-36 decision over a hard- scrambling squad that never stopped trying to find the hoops. McNa- mara and Ramon, scoring IA points apiece for Leavenworth were the standout performers on both sides. Woods, Holmes and Brady scoring we'll for Crosby while Captain Jim- my Day got one lone basket, which was worth much, though, as it was the difference between a Crosby vic- tory and an overtime game.

 Ruppert Offer
(Acne.)

New York, Jan. 22.-UP)-Sev. eral thousand dollars still separated Joe DiMaggio's name from a con- tract today after his first 1888 sal- ary conference with Col. Jacob Rup- pert, owner of the New York Yan- keeS.
 Ruppert offered the youthful out fielder $25,000 to put his name on contract yesterday, but it was un- derstood Joe was asking for $3o,O00- double his 1887 salary.
 The 50-minute conference in Rup- pert's brewery offices ended amia- ply enough, the colonel telling Joe You know where you can find me when you want to talk terms again."
 Any figure above $25,00O would make Joe one of the top-salaried players in the game. No National league player is expected to draw as much as $25,000 this year. Yankee Frst-Baseman Lou Gehrig will be highest paid, receiving between $35,- 900 and $40,000. Charley Gehringer. Detroit second baseman who won the most valuable player award for leading the American league in bat ting, also may top $25, ,O0O.

 day Night

New Haven, January P. - The Pittsburgh Hornets, reputed to be the toughest, toughest outfit in the In-Tam League this year, invade New Haven tomorrow night with the determination to put the sting into the Eagles for having broken their 13 game winning streak three weeks ago.
 The Eagles have had the Indian sign on the Hornets all season, shut ting them out to on their first appearance here and winning 2 to l in the last game.
 Allie Moore, former New aHven goalie, will be in the nets for Pitts burgh. Moore is now the property of the Detroit Red Wings, owners of the Pittsburgh farm.
 After a weeks lay-off, young Paul Gauthier will be back in goal for New Haven. Gauthier, weighing but a pound or so more than 115, was a nervous wreck after playing four games in four nights last week, three with the Eagles and one With the Canadiens and he was way oil form against Cleveland. The Barons nicked him for two goals in the last four mintes and stole the game just when it appeared as though New Haven had it won.
 The recent addition of Glen Bryd- son, from Chicago, and Gus Man cuso and George Brown, from the Canadiens, has strengthened the Eagles considerably and Coach Cou- tu expects the team to start off on winning streak at the expense ot the Hornets on Sunday.
 Eddie Powers, coach of Syracuse, predicted after Wednsday's game that the Eagles should win l6 ot their remaining 21 games. Its the strongest New Haven team I've ever seen," Powers said.

cabs from Washington hackers in
the series of holdups here last night
but they would be viewed by the
victims and questioned in connec-

Meanwhile, a man believed to be
one of Washingtons "sawed-o of
shotgun" bandits escaped with S6C
in a holdup of an Arlington, Va,
filling station and two customers.
Forced to Give Up Cabs.
In the local holdups, the taxicat
bandits hailed their victims in the
vicinity of Fourth and E streets S.W
during three-hour period and told
the drivers to take them to varying
addresses In each case the drivers
reported a hard object" they be-
lieved to be a pistol was put against
their necks to force them to turn
over their money and cabs to the
robbers
The victims and the amounts they

vantags of whatever impetus COM
merce and industry receive from the
usual spring improvement in busi-
ness conditions.
If Mr.. Hopkins decides to put the
system into operation, he is ex-
pected TO rely heavily on the Busi-
ness Advisory Council. This was
organized by his predecessor, Daniel
c. Roper, to give executives in
finance, industry and commerce a
voice in Federal policies relating to
business.
Mr.. Hopkins has disclosed that
he would confer soon with w. Aver
ell Hartman, Union Pacific Rail-
road chairman, who is head of the
advisory group. He did not an
nounce the purpose of the meeting,
but there was speculation that the
two would discuss both the posi-
bihty of employment drive and
the general topic of Government
business relations.
Relief Debate Seen.
= While Mr.. Hopkins was going
ahead with plans for the Commerce
Department, it was becoming in
creasingly evident that the work re-
lief system would be one of the first
subjects of congressional debate.
Chairman Sheppard of the Sen
at Campaign Expenditures Com
mittee disclosed that a report on
complaints of politics in relief" was
nearing completion. This was a
major phase of the committees in
vestigation into the recent election
campaign.
The report. which will be State
by-State account, may touch of
Senate debate on relief even before
the administration asks for extra
Pounds to operate w. P. A. until July

Hopkins confirmation believe the
report may give them some ammu-

dent Roosevelt's opposition, called
today for an overhauling of the
present relief system. He told re-
porters this was one of five main
issues before Congress. The others,
he sald were reasonable national
defense" agriculture, finance and
international relations.
Long Range Policy Needed.
: AS to relief, Senator Tydings said
that for number of years the prob
lem has been treated as a temporary
one largely by the Government"
1.-THE time has now come" he
continued, "for more permanent
long-range policies on relief, involv-
ing large measure of local re-
sponsibility.
I'm the future, relief-and all
Government appropriations-must
be formulated on pay-as-you-go
basis"
x Coincident with Senator Tydings
Comment, Senator King, Democrat,
Of Utah said he would propose that
Congress junk the present relief
program and substitute system of
outright Federal grants to States in
need.
He suggested that any State be
allowed to decide for itself whether
1t wished to provide work relief or
to make direct grants to individuals
He said the only Federal agency
needed would be a partisan

Senator Wheeler Hits
Radio Leader Over
Free Speech
Miller Cannot Make
Rulings on Speakers,
Senator Says
Hy the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana took sharp exception to-
day to recent statement by Neville
Miller, president of the National
Association of Broadcasters, that
radio could not tolerate "abuse" of
freedom of speech.
:'Who is Mr.. Miller that he should
set himself up to say when free
speech should be denied to any
citizen of the United States?" the
Senator asked.
What special knowledge does he
possess that he can judge when I or
any one else abuses free speech?
In times of hysteria which sweeps
this country there are always those
superpatriots who believe they are
destined to regulate the actions and
the speech of their felloWmen."
Views of Coughlin.
In an interview, Senator Wheeler
declared he did not agree with the
political views of Father Charles E.
Coughlir, for example, but said that
IF Father Coughlin is intolerant,
any radio station that would pre-
vent him from speaking because it
disagreed with him would be equally
intolerant'
Mr.. Miller had declared that
broadcasts ",nciting racial and re-
ligious hatred" were an evil not to
be tolerated. The Association of
Broadcasters said Mr. Miller made
his statement in response to in
quiries from member stations con-
!cerning the broadcasting of contro-
verSial radio talks by religious lead
ers."
The responsibility to accept or re-
ject material prepared for the radio
lies "on the shoulders of the Amer
lean broadcaster," Mr.. Miller said
land it is up to him to evaluate what
IS and what is not in the public
interest"
Senator Wheeler contended that
opposition to continuation of Father
CoughlinS broadcasts was mani
festation of "hysteria which, unless
it is checked, is very apt to lead us
into war with Germany or some
other totalitarian power"
Right to Give Views.
The Montanan asserted also that
'high public authorities should not
seek to inflame the public mind or
create hysteria," but that they could
not be denied the right to express
their views.
Striding restlessly about his Office,
he added, But whatever any politi-
clan may think, this country is in
no mood for war;
He suggested that if broadcasters
were to take the responsibility for
preventing abuses of freedom of
speech, some groups might want to
prevent Secretary of the Interior
Ickes from constantly making re-
marks about foreign affairs and at
tempting to stir the country up to
the breaking point of diplomatic
relations"
1t wasn't a question of agreeing
or disagreeing with speakers
views, Senator Wheeler said but
'if radio station can censor in one
particular, it can do so in all par
ticulars."
