Of Assistant Secretary Patterson

| Washington is still trying tc
! figure out just how much this
United States got out of the Lima
conference of the 81 American
republics. There is a tendency
to fear that we enlarge oul
responsibilities toward the rest
Of the Western Hemisphere. That
may be used as an argument in
favor of the National Defense
program, which at present looks
as if it might be the principal
controversial issue of the session
There is no great opposition tC
broadening the defenses Of the
nation, but there is great differ
ence of opinion as to how that
should be done.
The Army wants more land
and cOaSt-defenSe ornaments
the Navy wants more fighting
ships; and all the air forces want
more fighting planes. The Presi-
dent inclines to a great new air
plane program, with the Nationa,

aViatorS and mechanics to operate

Washington, Jan. 9..-As Con-
gress gets into it's stride, and old
and new members exchange
opinions, it is becoming apparent
to observers on Capitol Hill that
one of the major themes of this
session will be the effort to cur
tail the personal authority of the
President.
This effort will be joined in by
members of both parties, includ-
ing sincere followers of Mr.. Roos-
evelt. It will be an effort to pre-
vent his denomination in 1910.
1t will be an effort to reassert the
authority of Congress in its Con-
stitutional sphere of action.
How far this movement will
get is, of course, problematical.
Congress surrendered many of its
Constitutional powers to the
President at the beginning of his
first term, on the theory that the
economic emergency could not be
death with in any other way
than by putting one man in
charge.
Some of the actions of Congress
were held to be beyond its pow
er, by Supreme Court decisions
in the N. R. A. and A. A. A. cas-
es; they delegated power to make
orders and regulations which had
the force Of law, and only Con-
greSs may enact laws.
Among the unlimited powers
which the President still has I'M
der the emergency legislation are
these:
Powers of President
He can devalue the dollar still
further at any time he so choos-
eS.
He can issue three billion dol
lars in paper money with ne
gold reserve behind it.
He can decree the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, and fix
the nation of the silver dollars to
gold at any proportion he sees fit.
He can prescribe the regula-
tions under which gold can be
owned, traded in, held or export
ed.
He can operate a "stabllZatlon
fund" of two billion dollars in
complete secrecy, being account
able to nobody for its operations.
He can suspend trading on any
stock exchange for a period Of
ninety days.
He can raise or lower by as
much as so percent any tariff i'm
posed by the United States on
goods imported from any nation
which enters into trade agree
ment with this country.
He can spend practically at his
own discretion funds for relief,
farm benefits and other similar
projects, totaling more than all
previous Presidents Jumped to-
gether have ever been authorized
to spend
There have been some talk of
the possibility that the President
would voluntarily relinquish
some of those broad powers.
Some plan for turning relief
back to the states may be put
forward. In any event the ex-
pectation is that the new appro-
priations for relief will be rigid
ly aportioned for specific purpos-
es.

PAGERS to Help Lash
And Boricun on
Springy Strip
BY the Associated Press.

HANOVER, N. H., March IS
Humanity's battle against time and
distance, given new impetus when
Glenn Cunningham raced his STAR
ting 4:04.4 indoor mile here last
year, will be resumed with added
force tonight when John Borican
and Don Lash attempt the fastest
half-mile and two miles in history
on Dartmouth's famous board track.
Every detail of those races has
been carefully plotted by Harry
Hillman and his scientifically mind
ed associates, and, judging from
their trial spins on those lightning
fast boards, both Borican and Lash
appear assured of performing at
least indoor record breaking feats in
their specialties.
Attack Relay Records.
Before and after those stars, who
will be spurred on by carefully ham
dlcapped opponents, race against the
stop watches, the mile and 2-mile
relay teams of New York University
and Fordham, the feetest quartets
of the current indoor season, will
attempt to reduce the indoor marks
for those group events.
Borican has two recent record
smashing performances behind him,
although one has been disputed, and
his goal tonight is to cover about
three and two-siXths laps under
1914, the indoor half-mile mark
set by Lloyd Hahn II years ago. Lash
hopes to wipe out the 1858 indoor
2-mile record he made in Boston two
years ago.
Hillman, regarded as an oracle, as
far as his own track is concerned, is
confident that Boricon. a powerful
New Jersey Negro. will be under
1892 when he breaks the tape. If
so, it will be the fastest half mile in
history. for that is the time of
Sydney Wooderson's outdoor world
mark, yet to be accepted officially
by the international federation.
Would Lower Two Marks.
While so doing, Borican also would
be well under the unaccepted 1:484
outdoor record for the 800-meter
distance, 5 yards 81 inches less than
a half-mile, which also was made
| by Wooderson.
Lash, after studying the quarters
Cunningham turned in during his
amazing mile, first set his goal at
$50, but he added two seconds to
that time when he tried out the ga
laps to the mile track on his arrival
yesterday. The world outdoor rec
ord for his specially is Mikelo
Szabo's 1856 fiat, which, like Wood
erson's 1:49.2, when accepted, will
stand until it is bettered out-of-
doors, for the international fedora
ton does not recognize indoor
events.

ORLANDO, Fla, March 15.-This

ais was buzzing with anticipation
today. The natives and visiting
baseball writers from all sections of
the State are preparing a modest
caravan into Tinker Field on Sat-
urday to see the Mats open their
Grapefruit League season against
the Detroit Tigers.
The attractions are threefold,
right-handed and as follows: Ro-
berto Ortiz, Washington's blazing
Cuban; Alexandra Carrasquel. the
Mats mellowing rookie from Vene-
zuela, and Fred Hutchinson, De-
troit's 19-year-old $4,000 recruit
from Seattle.
Carrasquel Will Start.
Carrasquel will open the game for
the Griffmen, to be followed by Joe
Haines and Ortiz, who will be pitch
ing in regulation game for the
first time in his 81 years. Manager
Del Baker is expected to pitch
Hutchinson, who was we'll pounded
by the Tiger second-stringers in his
first slab test at Lakeland last
Sunday.
AS an added attraction there Is
the possibility of Baker and Presi-
dent Clark Griffith getting together
and talking trade. Baker has deal
he will make in a minute if Griffith
is SO disposed. Delmar would swap
Pitcher RoXie Lawson for Jimmy
De Shong and ask no questions.
In the meantime the Mats were
to stage another intrasquad game
today, with Jos Krakauskas and
Ken Chase pitching for the regu-
lars and Early Wynn and Bob Gar
ner for the Yannigans in seven
inning game.
Myer in Action Today.
The afternoon will mark the first
appearance in semi-tormal compe-
tition of Second Baseman Buddy
Myer who, despite sore arm, will
play second base for the regulars.
Another sore arm in camp is owned
by Rookie Catcher Jake Early, who
has one of the best, normally, but

nounced today he had decided to re-
tire the colt, which won both the
Santa Anita Handicap and Derby
last year, because of bowed tendon.
Howard said Trainer Earl Sande
had reported the injury to him by
phone from Columbia, S. c. The
bowed tendon, Howard said, was the
result of an accident during the run
ming of the Widener Challenge Cup
at Hileah Park when Stagehand
was kicked on the foreleg at the
start. This caused the leg to fill, and
it was treated with mud packs until
the colt was shipped to Columbia
"The bow has come in the other
foreleg," he explained, "as the horse
in running favored the leg that was
injured and thus put extra strain on
the other leg. Sande tells me the
bow is only slight, but nevertheless I
have decided to retire Stagehand for
the year, as he is too fine a colt to
push when injured"

In the outstanding basket ball
natural of the year here, Eastern
and st. Johns, Washington public
high and parochial school cham
pions, respectively. clash tonight at
Tech gym in the final game of the
boys section of The Stars seventh
annual metropolitan interscholastic
championship tournament.
Preceding the boys game, which
will start at approximately $3.50
o'clock, the Mount Rainier and
Montgomery Blair lassies will fight
it out for the girls championship
starting at 7:30. They won their
way into the final round by defeat
ing George Washington High of
Alexandria and st. Patrick's, re-
spectively, in the first round Monday
night.
Last year in the boys section the
same two teams-Eastern and st.
Johns-fought their way through
the hot early rounds to meet in a
final thrill-packed game, with the
Johnnies nosing out the Lincoln
Parkers, 1925, to become the first
team outside the public school
realm to take the metropolitan
crown.
Have Double Incentives.
The meeting tonight not only
gives Eastern another chance at the
metropolitan championship against
the same team that nosed it out last
year, but st. Johns an opportunity
to wipe out one of the few defeats
on its record this year, Eastern hav-
ing handed the Johnnies their first
setback of the season. ST. Johns
also was defeated by two other
teams during its regular playing
schedule, once by Gonzaga and once
by Tech. Later it trimmed Con-
zaga for the parochial title. and
last night it squared matters with
Tech in 2 rough game, 1924, to gain
place in The Star final tourna-
ment.
Eastern earned its way into the
title round by playing one of its
best games of the season in defeat
ing Gonzaga, 1920.
Hancock and Battiste Star.
Howard (Soup) Hancock and
Francis (Bat Battiste paced East
ern into its early lead that the
Gonzagans never were quite able to
overcome. The Purple team played
without its star center, Lane ODon-
nell, the biggest boy on the SQUAD,
but even at that it held the public
high champions to a 1914 lead at
the half.
Eastern turned in one of its best
games OF the year last night, the
Lincoln Parkers seeming to improve
with every game they play, even
this late in the season. In the third
period they made victory a cinch.
Ralph Lassise, Hancock and Les
Cooksey collected 10 points shooting
from all angles, while Gonzaga was
gathering only four on a field goal
by Ralph Patton and two free tosses
by Fred Rice. Contributing to the
Eastern squirt was the absence of
Francis Counselman, fast headpin
of Gonzaga's zone defense, who was
banished for personal fouls shortly
after the second half got under way.
