SETS NEW RECORD FOR EASTERN LEAGUE

When Lon Jourdet took his Penn- sylyania team up to Hanover he came away shaking his head. That boy Broberg," said Lon, who has been around for 10, these many years, "goes down in my book as one of the great basketball players of all time"
 The 26 points he dumped in against the Quakers is new league mark for single game.
 If his high-geared scoring antics continue he'll break the Dartmouth record of 145 points in league com petition, set by Al Bonniwell, 1885 star. And Broberg's physical make up should make him a greater play CT than Bonniwell, who was tall but slightly built, and never at his best when the going got rough.

STANLEY ASKS CONGRESS FOR
 BASEBALL DAY
Connecticut Congressman Maks Popular Petition
 to U. s. Body
BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff CorrespOndent

N0sAAWSNA = AO90 0StAAA NVkEG9VUNhuGAItl Washintgon, Feb. 3 3- (UP.) = Representatives James A. Shanley, D., Connecticut, who thinks his three-yeaf-old son is @ potential Ty Cobb, asked congress today to cre- ate a national baseball day Baseball, he contended, has saved the United States from the excess prevalent among nations abroad" and deserves @ place of honor on the calendar.
 Shanley introduced a bill in the house that would authorize Pres- ident Roosevelt to proclaim June l2, 1889, a baseball holiday and to or- der flags displayed on public build ings land other suitable exercises" This year is the tooth anniversary of the first game of baseball.
 Popular
 Support for Shanley's bill was ex- pected from such congressional and government fans as Vice President John N. Garner, Postmaster Gener- al James A. Farley, and the Pres- ident himself.
 Shanley introduced his bill with a short speech, but in an extension of his remarks-to appear in the con- gressional record - he lauded the game.
 Baseball" he said, "best exhibits the American ideal of true sports manship, has contributed most to the development of the American temperament and has been the lla. tion's safety valve. c
 For a hundred years, 1t has been Americas pastime and passion. For a solid century 1t has brought des- pair to Mudville - joy to Middle town.
 Let all America rejoice and thank God this year for @ game that for 100 years has built Amer icansiin."
 Shanley's remarks reviewed base- ball history from the laying out of the first diamond in Cooperstown, N. Y. He discussed such old timers as Abner Doubleday, Al Spaulding and Al Reach: then Anson's Colts, Mike Kelley and Billy Sunday; and finally a word about the modern stars.
 Let Us honor all of them in this celebration" he said.
 Shanley, who still looks like he could knock the cover off a ball, comes from ball playing family.
 Ex-Yale Player
 He played center field for Yale and his father was regarded as one of the best shortstops in New Eng land. His grandfather, the congress- man contends, was @ mighty good right handed pitcher during Civil War days.
 Shanley's son, Jimmy, already is being groomed for baseball.
 He looks right now at the age of three as if he would be good enough for the majors in few years" Shan ley said. His curves are kind of wide, but he's got the idea-expen- sive vases and other breaxables not withstanding."

REPORT SHOWS c B & @
SAFEST" RAILROAD

Completing eleven years with
out a single passenger death in
a train accident, 24,196 employees
of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad today we're re-
ceiving congratulations and
thanks for their safety cooper
alton from Edward Flynn, eX-
ecutive vice-president.
IA report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission has just
revealed Burlington as having
the least number of train acct
dents per million locomotive
miles of any major railroad in
the United States for 1887, the
latest complete figures available.
For the ten years from 1928 to
1887, the C B & @ also had a
noteworthy record with $685.
121 messengers travelling 5.201,-
904,45 miles without a fatality
in train accidents. Statisticians
declare this means a single pas
Senger, necessarily a modern
Methusaleh or discoverer of the
fountain of youth, could have
travelled 1896 years without sus-
tanning a fatal scratch. "Acci-
dents" in the technical language
of the I.C.C. are accident, with
or without casualties, arising IN
connection with the operation
or movement of trains, locomo-
tives. Or cars that result in
damage to equipment or other
railway property in excess of
$4,000 including cost of clear
ing wreck"
The report also showed that
railroads as a whole are still by
far the safest type of transpor-
tation with lowest ratio of acct
dents per one hundred million
passenger miles.
Burlington was lowest among
1876 class one major railroads
with 2.74 train accidents per
million locomotive miles during
the ten year period. Mr. Flynn
credited the record to sound op-
Grating practices, employee dill
gence and good equipment.

o JAMES PRESTON

lcleS OF our national QeIenSe,
were not a little surprised
when they were credited recent
ly with urging 10000 airplares
to be built Immediately under
the national defense = spending
program.
Such a program, because of
the factor of quick obsolescence
in airplaneS, would quickly
wreck itself according to the
best experts. Quiet queries
among the naval and military
men themselves disclosed that
none of them had advocated
such a program. A much lower
figure for such a building pro-
gram had been set by them as
the number of planes that the
United States could build under
a practical program.
Mixing some two = plus = two
equals = four speculation with
their own inquiries the experts
opine that the 10000 figure vas
sent up by the Brain-truSterS
as a trial balloon to see if they
could get away with a heavy
spending program to the time
of drum-beating for defend
the nation at all cost"
The military and naval eX-
perts further argue that it IS
we'll that the United States do
some we'll considered thinking
on defense inasmuch as it would
be we'll to impress any poten-
tial enemies America might
have with real defenSeS rather
than by theatrical spending.
incidentally, the current bud
get estimates now before Con-
gresS call for spending by the
federal government during the
next fiscal year at the rate of
$17,113 a minute, or S24.643,8 1886
a day. AS one neWspaperman
around the National Press club
remarked: THAT means my in
come tax will run the Govern
ment just one-one billionth part
of a second"
Among life's little problems,
list this one:
One of the Cabinet officers
has a fancy for green ink. He
has used it ever since he came
to Washington. He finds now,
however, that his signature is
fading from documents. and the
U. S. Bureau of Standards in
forms him nothing can be done
about it. The dye used in green
ink just won't last, the Bureau
has reported to him in a
lengthy official report.
The Cabinet member, there
fore, has to use permanent
black ink now for his signature
to official government docu-
mentS.
1t is better than an even bet
around Washington that Con-
gress will soon be asked to in
crease the limitation on the ma
tional debt. Congress passed a
law last year placing the lab:
solute" ceiling on the national
debt at as billion dollars. I'm
der the law, therefore. the
Treasury cannot lawfully accu-
mulate a debt beyond that fig
ure. At the present time the
debt is just short of 40 billion
dollars, an all-time high.
The new budget, however,
projects the debt to "A 1-2 bill
lion, which will be too close to
the ceiling for the Treasury's
comfort. A so billion dollar limi-
tation, or even more, probably
will be asked of Congress.
Coffee made news at home
and abroad last week: In Wash
ington it was announced that
hereafter coffee will be only 5

tatives do their midday din

ded to the list of food rationed
things for us. The whole thing
seems to work on a sort of cir
cle-the more money spent here.

EDITORIAL

Maybe we aren't in such a
bad situation out here in Mon
tana after all. Reliefers in some
places in Minnesota seem to be
having a hard time of it, and
county funds seem to be pretty
low, as evidenced by the clip
ping from the Mile Laos Mes
senger of Isle, MINI.
Signing of a pauper's oath,
turning in of automobile license
plates and publication of names
of all people receiving relief are
among the drastic regulations
laid down by the Crow Wing
county welfare board for any
one seeking relief in the county,
c cor d in G to announcement
made by the board.
Limited funds for relief aid.

grim restrictions absolutely nee
essary, and even with the steps
taken toward cutting down ex-
penses, officials e almost in
Surmountable obstacles ahead
for the coming year.
Applications from rural areas
will not be accepted by county
officials thu statements
from township or village boards
that those seeking aid actually
require it. Investigations will be
made by the county assistance
office in Brainerd, Crosby and
Ironton.
leases now being carried by
local units will be continued
when the county takes over adj
ministration of relief January
I, but the new regulations will
become effective in all cases in
February. On new cases the
regulations announced are i'm
mediately effective.
"Under the boards's decision,
the names of those receiving di-
rect relief will be published in
the financial statement of the
county for 1889.
There will be no supplement-
ing Of groceries, rent, fuel or
clothing for those now en-
ployed. This will mean that
those receiving WPA employ
.ment will receive no relief aid
from the county"
These regulations seem dras-
tic in a good many ways-for
they mean that a great many
families will have a hard time
getting enough to eat, and it
is pretty humiliating to have
wour name published as a IRE
liefer." Unfortunately though,
such publication isn't as humil-
