ment's Investigation of foreign es-
pionage in this country has been
centralized under Chief Oman j
Edgar Hoover and that extraordin.

When Murphy was pressed for
details of federal counter-eSpionag'

He estimated that Hoover's fed

Indicative of growth of such activ.
tiles, he pointed out that the F-BI
investigated only 600 such com

Mr.. Garner is the choice of over 500

This Season

TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 3 - Dixie
Howell's Bulldogs of the Arizona
State Teachers college here are
rolling on and on in a brilliant
season. Saturday night the Dogs
showed a versatile running attack
to crush Texas Mines 81 to and
retain the lead in the Border con-
ference.
Mines was the first Of six OPP
ponents defeated by Arizona State
that has been able to score. Before
that the Bulldogs had won five
games. made 100 points, and were
unscored upon.
Now the record reads: Arizona
State 1856, Opponents z.
This week the Bulldogs travel
down to Odessa, Tex, to meet the
Hardin-Simmons Cowboys in non
conference battle that could wreck
the Arizona teams winning streak
but not for sure.
The kind of power, the we'll
timed blocking and the terrific tack
ling displayed by Arizona State
in whipping the Mines could be
enough-if repeated in full-to
bring victory over the Cowboys, who
were only able to beat Tempe IL
to II last year when the Bulldogs
were much weaker The Cowboys
hold the edge by virtue of more
weight and more reserve strength.

461 Delegates on 1st Ballot

DALLAS, Texas. - John Nance
Garner. vice president of the United
States, will 60 into the next Demo-
cratic national convention with over
461 votes pledged to him. according
to E. B. Germany. chairman OF the
State Democratic Executive commit
tee and co-chairman OF the Texas
Garner-for-P President committee.
"We are convinced. from the del
uge Of pledges we have received at
the Dallas headquarters. that there
is genuine popular demand for the
nomination of Mr.. Garner on the
Democratic ticket. This comes. not
from one section or group of states.
but from the entire nation. From
Oregon and Vermont. and from
Georgia to the Southwest. we are
getting the most enthusiastic profess
tations of friendship and admiration
Tor our stalwart Texas statesman.
"Mr. Garner's way of thinking has
captured the public imagination of
the middle ground Of Americas
straight thinking citizenry. If the
politicians do not listen to the voice
of the people in 1910, ! predict that
the Democratic party as an organiza-
ton won't be worth shooting. | have
heard many comments that the poll
ticians are going to pick the next
candidates for both the Democratic
and Republican parties. My advice
to them in both parties is to listen
to what the people are thinking. If
they don't heed the deep longings of
the mass of Americas citizenry. they
will be politically dead after the next
election. repeat; If the Democratic
politicians attempt to thwart the will

Red Cross Nurse
Reserve. at Peak
Disaster Service, Home Nurs-
ing, Health Education, Keep
Thousands Busy

Washington.-The Red Cross re-
serve of registered nurses qualified
for immediate duty is stronger than
ever before, Miss Mary Beard, dlrec-
tor of the American Red Cross nurs-.
ing services, announced.
I'VE now have a. first reserve OF
$4,000 unmarried nurses under Az
years of age available for duty with
the Army, Navy or government
nursing services and subject to call
by the Red Cross for disaster work,
she said. "This is 700 more than any
previous first reserve registration. .
Miss Beard pointed out that the
increase has been gradual and that
only registered nurses meeting rigid
requirements of training and physi-
cal fitness are enrolled. All classes
of nurse reservists, including nurses
now employed by the Red Cross,
bring the reserve corps total to
44,2S3. During the World War OF
1914-18 the American Red Cross
mustered nearly 10000 nurses for
duty with Army, Navy and Red
Cross hospitals, at home and over
seas.
Maintenance Of the Nurses Re-
serve is provided by our charter
and is in line with Red Cross poll
cies of prevention and preparedness,
but the peacetime work of our
nurses is equally important" Miss
Beard said.
The director explained that more
than 1000 nurses, chiefly home hy-
giene and care of the sick instruc-
tors, were regularly engaged in WIS.,
iting the sick, aiding physicians in
examining school children, conduct
ing incubation programs to stamp
out contagious illness, launching
trial nursing services in out-of-the-
way communities, and carrying on
important health education work to
qualify family groups to care for
sickness at home.
All nurses who are needed for
Red Cross nursing activities are
drawn from the Red Cross reserve
of qualified nurses, Miss Beard said.
Last year Red Cross public health
nurses made more than one million
visits on behalf Of the sick and gave
skilled care to 272,729 persons. The
majority of Red Cross nursing SER
vices cover entire counties to in
clude both rural areas and indus
trial centers where nursing help is
scarce.
Last year, in schools and clinics,
nurses cooperated with physicians
in examining 595,575 children, and
aided in the task Of correcting de-
fects. Children examined were en-
rolled for the most part in rural
schools where this type Of preven-
tive service is rare. There are 655
Red Cross nurses engaged in this
work in ATT communities.
In the field of health education,
Red Cross nurses have instructed
more than 100000 family members
since 1914 in how to care for the
sick at home and have set new
standards of hygiene for the family.
Last year the Nursing Service held
4,505 classes in home hygiene and
care Of the sick and awarded GER
tiicates to 61,296 persons who
passed examinations.
This service to the public is sup
ported by the men and women who
join as members of the Red Cross,
through their local Chapters, during
the Roll Call, November II to 30.
