Dealers Choice.

Five men were playing poker in
the basement of one of their homes
one night when an odd thing hap
pened. They had just finished a
hand and it was peculiar kind of
a hand because of the dealers choice.
There were a number of different
opportunities for each player to fill
in to nice hand, and they wound
up with nine cards each, a choice
of the best five constituting each
individuals hand. That is more or

less beside the point, but the inter-
esting thing that happened was that
one of the men, after the hand was
all over, put his nine cards on the
table face up in a sort of rough tri-
angle arrangement. The cards were
of different suits but were numeri-
cally valued one through nine. It
that the total numerical
values of the cards on each of the
three sides totaled 20. Can you ar
range the numbers on each Of the
three sides 50 that this works out?

Employees Backfire
Civil Service Bar 10
.W.P. A. by Congress
Administration Stuff
Held Necessary for
Long Time to Come

Organized Government workers
today set up backf1re of opposition
to the move in Congress to bar civil
service to approximately 10000 ad-
ministrative employees of the Works
Progress Administration. Something
more than 1900 members of the local
force of w. P. A. would be affected.
The American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees, an affiliate of
the American Federation of Labor,
said the House Appropriation SUBJ
committee, which wrote the ban into
the deficiency bill. apparently was
actuated because it regarded w. P.
A. as an emergency agency and felt
to make the positions civil service
would tend to perpetuate it. With
this it took issue.
The emergency with which the
w. P. A. was created to cope has
been in existence several years and
its end is not in sight" the fedora
ton said TT seems reasonable that
an undertaking of such duration
should be administered under the
most efficient and capable procedure
known to the Government, and we
feel that the most efficient and
economical form of administration
is that provided by the Civil Service
Act and rule"
In more militant vein, the United
Federal Workers of America. C. I. o.
affiliate, said in statement that
every member of the House Ap-
preparations Committee would be
called to state his position both on
the civil service angle and on the
plan to cut the appropriation for
relief.
mo reform on the part of the ad-
ministrators of w. P. A. can so
effectively remove its partisan politi-
cal character as the placing of its
administrative employees under civil
service" the U. F. w. said. 1--WE call
upon all Congressman who are sim
cerely in support of nonpartisan
administration of w. p. A. to make
known their approval of the Presi-
dents projected application of his
executive order extending civil SER
vice."

Hoffman Launches Attack
On Murphy in House
BY the Associated Press.

The House heard a bitter attack
today by Representative Hoffman,
Republican, of Michigan, on the
labor policies and political back
ground of Frank Murphy, former
Michigan Governor recently NOM
mated as Attorney General.
The record shows that Frank
Murphy failed to perform his duty
as Governor of the State, that he
betrayed his people, that he left
many of them to the mercy of the
armed INVADERS Representative
Hoffman said in a speech from the
floor.
Mr.. Murphy's nomination to head
the Justice Department already has
been approved by Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee.
Representative Hoffman told the
House three grand divisions" of
shock troops" went to Michigan
last fall in an unsuccessful attempt
to re-elect Gov. Murphy.
First, he said, was an army"
carrying Federal funds for State dis
tribution; second, another grand
division consisting of the sit-down
strikers, the COMMUNISTS, under
leadership of Earl Browder and his
subordinates, and, third, a group led
by the commander in chief of the
Federal Government, the President
of the United States, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, whose subordinate
commanders were playing politics
with relief funds"

Dr.. Price Will Serve
6. H..A. This Month";;
Successor Sought
Association Head Differs
With Physician on Points
Cited in Resignation

DR.. Richard H. Price, who resigned
from the staff of Group Health As
sociation, Inc, yesterday, will con-
tinue to serve in that capacity until
the end Of January, it was indicated
today.
A successor, to serve as expert on
internal medicine, will be selected,
according to William G. Kirkpatrick,
president of G. H. A., but this selec-
ton will be left in the hands of
DR.. Raymond E. Selders, medical
director Of G. H. A.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick, while praising
the service of DR.. Price in G. H. A.,
differed with the physician con-
corning the charges he made yester-
day in a statement made public
along with the announcement of his
resignation.
Departure Held "NOt Grave"
The departure of one physician
from the staff was characterized by
Mr.. Kirkpatrick as mot very grave" "
Group Health Association doesn't
depend on any one person" he said.
I'VE have about 5000 patients to
think about. Unless a live organi-
zation doesn't have its ups and
downs. its ins and outs, there is
something the matter with it. Peo-
pie are resigning from jobs all over
the country, every day, for one rea-
son or another"
Taking up the charges made by
DR.. Price against the system of
treatment of patients at Group
Health, Mr.. Kirkpatrick denied
that G. H. A. members were "herded
like sheep" and fail to get individual
treatment, as the physician had
charged.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick refused to con-
cede that members who want to see
doctor often have to wait days
or weeks. If for example, he said, a
member should come In and want to
see DR.. Price, and there were others
ahead of him, he might have to
wait. But, the G.. H. A. president
emphasized, he would get to see
some other doctor and would not be
turned "out In the cold" without
treatment.
Operations Taken Care OF.
Failure of G. H. A. to provide
major operations as charged by
DR.. Price, could not be blamed on
G. H. A., Mr.. Kirkpatrick said, but
upon the forces which had been
aligned against G. H. A. to keep such
operations out of hospitals. All
emergency operations had been TAX
en- care Of, he explained, through
G. H. A. paying an outside physi-
cian,, not on the G.. H. A. staff to
operate. This had to be done be-
cause G. H. A. surgeons were barred
from the 'curtesy stats of hospitals.
Recently, however, Garfield Hospital
admitted three G. H. A. physicians
to its courtesy staff, including DR..
Price.
Answering Dr. Prices charge that
G. H. A. doctors making home calls
frequently were not the ones previ-
ously treating patients in the clinics,
Mr.. Kirkpatrick said: That's true,
and unless you have doctors working
"a hours a day it will remain true

most of those merely had cut out
gardens and small plots and had
not bothered the stockraisers a
great deal. This ranch ran little
stock, but usually raised great
quantities of wheat The grass
hoppers had completely wiped
them out the year before and were
Threatening to do so again.
After an early dinner, the two
men took us out to a half grown
wheat field. There wasn't any
need to explain. Half of the field
was completely gone and the
'hoppers were fast attacking tho
other half.
Find Fields "Alive"
Even as we watched, the field
lemed to be alive, as every stalk
Il wheat reluctantly swayed and
kbent under its weight of anywhere
from ten to twenty-five 'hoppers.
Along the higher ridges, where the
sun was warmer, the field actually
was red with the voracious pests.
AS we walked through the field,
millions arose from their labors
only to settled on some other I'M
fortunate stalk and begin imme-
date destruction. Even the weeds
in the fields were not immune to
attack.
Beyond, a field OF young corn
had just managed to peed above
the soil, only to be cut off at the
base. One of the men reached
down and grabbed handful OF
hoppers. We counted II he mad
imprisoned by that simple gesture.
Many Give Up
Both Montana and North Da-
kota are doing what they can 10
wipe out these periodic pests by
spreading a mixture of sawdust,
bran and arsenic. But every man
questioned on the feasibility OF
this method OF attempted cohlioi
will have different story.
Some think it is the only method
possible. II undoubtedly does XIII
thousands. but there are millions
Others think any attempt to con-
troll them at all is utterly foolish.
Their argument is that when the
little ones reach maturity they
will rise and move on to the next
place anyway.
Cattlemen and sheepmen don't
seem to know just what to say.
MANY of them have lost stock be-
cause of the poison, while others
are willing to lose some if the hop
pers are eliminated.
Still others, whose thoughts
center on the wild life Of the state,
claim bitterly that the poison bran
Is wiping out all the birds and
small game. This is very pos
sible. but it is open to argument.
There is this to be said about
the spreading OF poison. 1t is an
honest effort to control a pest
that is in reality uncomfortable.
The only way bran poison would
seriously make any inroads on
hoppers would be to literally car
pet the whole surface of the states
affected, which is, naturally. an
impossibility.
