Duke Meets State Sat-; Caro-
lina-Virginia Clash On

The Duke Blue Devils, victor
ious over the North Carolina Tar
Heels last Saturday by a score OF

of $4,000 in Duke stadium, are
now preparing for Saturdays
game against State college.
Each year the Wolfpack makes
its best showing against Duke.
No matter how many times the
Pack may be stampeded in pre-
vious battles it gets itself togeth-
er for the scrap with the Blue
Devils. That the State boys are
printing themselves for Duke
next week is indicated from the
fact that they scored a IL to Z
victory over Furman Saturday.
The North Carolina football
squad came through the Duke
game in good shape and turned
its eyes today to its next and fl
nal game with Virginia Thanks
giving.
Paul SEVERN, end; Don Baker,
Halfback, and Bob Stoinoff,
guard, suffered occurrences of old
injuries, but the Tar Heels es-
capped without new injuries.
Barring further injuries, Train
err Chuck Quinlan said the whole
squad should be ready for Vir-
ginia, including George Radman,
who was held out Saturday with
injuries, except for Chuck Kline,
end.
While keenly disappointed over
their first defeat, Coach Ray
Wolf and players who were ques-
toned were warm in their praise
of Dukes magnificent play.
Duke was the better team Sat-
urday," Coach Wolf declared. 1T
just wasn't our day."
One of the assistant coaches
added the opinion that it was the
Blue Devils finest performance
of the season, and another de-
clared he had never seen "a hard
er charging line" in action.
Coach Wolf praised especially
Dukes hard and effective rush
ing of the Carolina passers and
singled out particularly the slash
ing guard play of Frank Ribar-
the ''best man on the field" &C
cording to Wolf.
The Carolina mentor also COM
plimented his own boys and par
ticularly George Stirnweiss, who
called and played bang-up game

Kimhall, tackles; Bill Faircloth
and Jim Woodscn, guards; and
Paul SEVERN, Stewart Richard

Stirny and Sweet Lalanne,
Cardinals touchdown twins,
again led the attack. The Flying
Dutchman gained % yards net in
seven tries for a 4-yard average
Lalanne had 20 for nine and Ba-
ker "a for four.
Reviewing the game with Caro-
lima at a conference with news
papermen Coach Wallace Wade,
of Duke, paid a tribute to the
fine play of the Carolina tackles,

Democrats and Republicans may

Spring.
Political observers see in the
results Of the state elections in
California and Ohio, signs of a
popular revulsion against vision
ing schemes such as the excessive
old-age pension plans which were
defeated decisivefy in those
states, end some are drawing
from those and other signs the
conclusion that the Republicans
chances for carrying the national
election Of 1910 are better. than
they seemed to be few weeks
ago.
Third Term Discounted
The, belief that MIR. Roosevelt
will seek a third-term nomination
is being discounted. There is a
general impression among those
on the inside of party politics that
Postmaster General Farley, who
has a tighter control of the party
organization than any national
chairman has ever had before,
has set his foot down against a
third term and has the dominant
party leaders with him.
If that is true, observers here
believe, the Republicans have a
fiftyf fifty chance or better, pro-
vided they don't make any bad
breaks.

would be wasting too much time
to wait until Senator Overton's
proposal has been adopted by

Senator Overton has worked
out a formula by which the Fed.

would be about 20 per cent of the

amount of tax-exempt land held

would reduce the membership Of
the commission from seven to

WIDE STUDY PLANNED
Wheeler said the legislative pro
gram, to be introduced either by
himself or at the suggestion OF
Federal officials, will form the
basis for a complete study Of the
commission by his committee.
There has been all kinds Of
wrangltng, diSsenSion and poll

said, land there ought to be q

In outlining his proposed legis-

commission was not entirely at
fault for failure to lay down ade-
quate policies concerning Federal
control Of radio, telegraph and
telephone communication.

Making WPA Career?

HONGRESSMEN are trying to
" find out how many people
have been on WPA from the be-
ginning-those who are making
WPA a career-but they have
not had much success. WPA
does not keep such figures on
the rolls for the past three years
which would mean around
600, 900. Average duration Of re-
lief recipients on WPA Is guessed
around 18 months.
Interested legislators, how

It was thought that Governor ODaniel Of

but not at all. 1t is reported that he has been

on appropriated American Oil
An acting division chief has
sent q letter to a Senator on
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee setting forth what the de-
partment has been able to find
out about what is going on over
the back fence along the Rio
Grande. Some of it is new,
some old, but all Is official for
the first time.
The letter sets forth that the
first deal between President
Cardenas and Hitler, through
w. r. Davis, called for the
Mexican government to take
100000 worth of irrigation
equipment from Germany. The
oil credit for that transaction
is presumed (by the State De-
partment) to have been COM

are contemplated for other ma

NOTE.-The contract which
AN Davis signed with Mexican
government provided for pur-
chase of 10 million barrels Of
oil in 1899 for which Davis will
pay is millions in material
credits. He does not pay any
cash. He merely is to establish
credits principally in Ger
many"
The Washington times., 1939-01-25
That Cdrdends Promise

THE LETTER further says
- specifically that everything
which State Secretary Hull has
told Mexico in his notes about
appropriated Agrarian property
also applied to oil property. It
also says Cardenas promised
Ambassador Daniels specifically
that proper compensation would
be made to the Americans who
were deprived Of their invest
mentS.
But being a diplomatic letter,
with official implications, It
falls to acknowledge Mexico'S
promise is not considered worth
the air that carried the spoken
words. It fails to say, for in.
stance, that the constitutional
ity of Cardenas' seizure will be
decided March II by Mexican
supreme court, the six Justices
Of which were all appointed BY
him to siX.year terms.
It neglects to note that Car.
denas' suggested compensation
was a 10-year payment plan
which would call for about 40
million dollars q year, whereas
his whole government budget Is
only 100 million dollars annually,
and everyone knows that in the
permanent financial crisis which
the government Of Mexico has
always been in, he could not
even make the first years pay
