Adoree Defeats
Hindu Nat Rival

Apparently on the verge of de-
feat. Andre Adoree came up with
perfectly executed backward
body slam to win from Harnan
Singh in their Monday evening
wrestling headliner at Greenwich
coliseum.
Three rounds and most of the
fourth canto had elapsed without
fall being scored by either men
when Adoree suddenly galvanized
into action and rendered the big
Hindu hors de combat for the eve
ming.
Singh had applied a face
lock on Adoree just before the
abrupt conclusion. thus set
ting the stage for the French
mans sensational maneuver.
The fall came after eight min
utes, two seconds Of the fourth
round and Adoree was awarded
the match when Singh was unable
to continue when the bell rang for
the fifth.
Although there was some ques-
ton as to whether Referee Nick
zvolis had employed a short
count" in awarding him the fall,
the veteran Pat O'Shocker defeat
ed Ignacio Martinez with a short
arm scissors and body press in 5
minutes, 6 seconds of the third4
round of the semi-final Martinez,
strapping young Mexican new
conner. nevertheless made a fine
impression.
Bull Venable defeated Jack
Kogut In the special event,
obtaining the necessary fall In
I minutes, 3 seconds of the
second round by jumping on
KOgut after the Miami heavy
weight had missed n flying
tackle.
George Harden pinned Moose
Palmer in ! minute, 20 seconds OF
the second round with a backward
body press to win the opener.

civil service, the Federal agency which
handles this work assumes new i'm
portance.
The Civil Service Commission has
been a pretty much run-down-at-the-
heels Government agency as depart
ments go. During the fight to reor-
ganize the Government, the Presi-
dents advisors advocated complete
shakeup in all civil service procedure.
AS the legislation finally was enacted,
Civil Service was exempted from any
changes and it will probably continue
to function about the same as it has.
It's reputation for red tape is the worst
in Government and many an anxious
would-be employee has waited months
while the Civil Service Commission
slowly and majestically went through
its procedure.
To do its work Civil Service en-
ploys about 1,500 men and women,
many of them 20 or more years in the
Government service. Total cost to the
taxpayers for their work is about
S., 100000 year.
A widely known Minnesotan has
been in the Washington public eye for
the past two weeks. Former Cover
nor Elmer Benson has been mentioned
as the 1ikeliest candidate for the Inter
state Commerce commissionership for
which Tom Annie was nominated and
then withdrawn after terrific pressure
had been put on the White House !.

Despite all the agitation and the pro-
tests of many employers, the odds are
strongly against Congress making any
major changes in the Wagner Labor
law this year. Hearings before a
senate committee are now going on.
Senators Burke of Nebraska, Holman
of Oregon, and Bridges of New
Hampshire have all criticized the law
bitterly; Chairman ]. Warren Madden
of the Labor Board has defended it,
blames most of the troubles on labor
itself and the AFL-CIO split. Signif-
icantly, Madden made a good impress
sion on the Senate Committee.

u. S. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE
b. ITALY'S RAPE OF
.ss ETHIOPIA

Washington, April, (CNA)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's dramatic appeal to
Hitler and Mussolini to refrain from
further aggressions does not recognize
automatically the rape of Ethiopia and
Albania by Italy and Hitler's seizure
of Czech-Slovakia, Austria and Mcneil,
a State Department official declared
this week.
In his appeal, the President bluntly
put the question of peace up to the pir-
atical fascist nations and warned that
the issue is really whether our civili-
cations is to be dragged into the tragic
vortex of unending militarism, puntu-
ated by periodic wars, or whether we
shall be able to maintain the ideal of
peace, individuality and civilizations
as the fabric of our lives. "He pointed
out that the Western Hemisphere has
the right to say that there shall not
be an organization of world affairs
which permits us no choice but to
turn our countries into barracks unless
we are to be vassals of some conquer
ing empire"

not permitted to mingle freely. The
curriculum at the school was alleged
to be inferior. Negro students are dis
couraged from taking an academic
course and qualifying for university, il

The Administration-and Congress
too-remains worried about farm
troubles. They want to do something
for the farmers before the farmers do
something to them-in 1910.
The current move is to give the
farmers increased parity payments
$400,000,O00 more for the basic crops
such as cotton, wheat, corn; $50, 1000,
900 for the minor commodities. This
will not meet the whole farm problem,
everybody realizes, but it will soothe
ruffled feelings. Moreover, in attempt
ing this move the Congress is running
full tilt into Administration opposition.
The President has made it plain that
while he isn't against more money for
agriculture, he definitely doesn't want
the money to add to the already big
deficit for next year. In brief, if Con-
gress wants to give agriculture more
money, let the Congress provide for
the program out of new taxes.
All this means the increasing posi-
bility of two things - cost-of-produc-
ton farm legislation and processing
taxes. Both face stiff opposition.
If farm leaders in Congress can't
get together on compromise legislation
to help farmers, the threat of cost-of-
production becomes real. In both
houses of Congress, strong b1ocs favor
the cost-of-production plan as the only
solution for the farm problem. Min
nesota's senators and congressman,
like those of most big farm states, are
strong advocates of guaranteeing the
farmer the cost of producing his crop
plus fair profit.
Should this program be enacted in
the closing days of the present session,
there will be an insistent demand for
enactment of processing taxes to bear
the cost. Although processing taxes
are bitterly opposed by the big firms
who handle farm products, the whole
idea cannot be discounted as dead by
any means. Giving it added life is the
recent Supreme Court decision in a
tobacco case, which Administration Of
ficials believe is a complete reversal
of the old AAA decision.
What may come out of all this is a
return to the old AAA program.
With the emphasis nowadays in
Government to hire everybody through
Civil Service and to put everybody
who works for the Government under
