One of the leading social
events of the season was the
high tea" given last Sunday
afternoon, January 14th, at the
palatial home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter R. Webster of West 18th
street, at the hour of four o.
clock. Fhe occasions was the ini-
tial event of it's kind given by
one of Los Angeles social lead
ers and a member of Delta Sig
ma beta Sorority, the charming
and gracious Mrs. Walter R.
Webster honoring Mrs. Charles
Satchell Morris, II, a recent bride
who is also a member of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority. The
bride was picturesque in crea-
ton of white chiffon and gold.
The house was decorated with
a profusion o white and pink cut
flowers and was a beautiful set
ting for the thirty-six fashion
ably gowned ladies who partook
of the delectable three-course
luncheon.
The centerpiece of the dining
room table was most attractive
in that a cluster of white sweet
peas on a mirror with a miniature
bride and groom gave a beauti-
full background under the mellow
glow Of slim tapering candles for
the many beautiful and useful
gifts received by the bride.
1t will be remembered that a
very short time ago local and ma
tional society was thrilled by
the cpocal romance and elopment
of the Los Angeles socialite,
Irene Givcns Freeman, and the
nationally known orator, educa-
tor and clergyman, Charles Sat
chell Morris, II. to PhoeiX, Ariz.,
where they were quietly marri-
cd by the Rev. DR.. G.. l.. Upthe-
grove, just two months ago. The
day following the marriage the
bride returned to Los Angeles
mad the groom left or an extend
ed speaking tour. 1t was learned
that he is leaving Detroit today
and after filing numerous en-.
gagements will join the bride
here sometime during the ensU,
ing month.
In the receiving line was the
hostess, Mrs. Walter r. Web

Morris, II; the brides sister
Mrs. Paul r. Williams, Rev. Jun,

Control of h e state house

far more important to ex-Gov.
H. G. Kump and his wing of the

Governor Kump was quoted in
a story in local paper as say

took sharp exception.
"While the nation faces the
smost critical problems in it's
history" the national committee
man said, with millions of its
people unemployed, the needy
shackled in chains of political
serfdom, the national debt 20
billion dollars higher than at the
end of the World War, and reck-
les spending continuing at the
rate of three or four billion doll

ut seems that Governor
Kump carries the right kind Of

to the perpetuation of the state

set up at the expense of West
Virginia taxpayers in the re-
demption of h s campaign
pledge to eliminate unnecessary
office holders and reduce the cost
of government by 25 per cent.
"The people of West Virginia
know" Hallanan declared. "how
that pledge has been fulfilled
by the creation of an all-time
high in hundreds of new polite
al payrollers under the state and
increasing the cost of govern
ment to an undreamed of figure.
OBVIOUSLY" the national com
mitteeman pointed out, "the con-
troll of the governorship is view
ed by the Kump group as over
shadowing everything else :
even, to the extant of making the
Office of United States senator

our government is pouring out

it is taking it in. The govern

This is a fitting place to talk

In the current discussion of
/ our national finances. two QueS-
tionS appear to be confused. TO
me they are quite distinct.
The first question: Is the New
Deal right i'm its policy of UNI
1jnited spending "f borrowed
money?
believe that the American
people. aware of the consequence
cS. will decide that this policy
is wrong.
If they believe il is wrong. we
come to the second question::
Can runaway spending be stop
ped?
Now. what Go2S this second
question really mean? 1t asks.
in effect: Does the United States
government manage spending, or
does spending manage the Unit
cd States government Do our
100 million people run their gov
eminent, or does nine billion
dollars Il year run our people?
The New Dealers would have
us believe that the American
people have lost coEtrol of our
own destiny. because they say
this unbridled spending can
not be stopped.
This is the challenge posed to
America by the New Deal. To
this challenge, there can be but
one answer. The American peo-
pie can stop this reckless spend
ing. And furthermore they Will
stop it.
We talk about an annual eX-
penditure of nine billion dollars
and a national debt of forty bill
Ito dollars. do not know any WAY
to bring such amounts within our
comprehension. Nobody ever
saw nine billion dollars. If / start
ed to count it at a dollar second
it would take me two hundred
and twenty eight years.
| am sure that the adminiStra-
ton in Washington is very tired
of hearing about its budget. 1t
is perfectly plain that the Adj
ministration is too tired to DO
anything about its budget.
Since the New Deal refuses to
do anything about balancing its
budget, and since its budget cS
Inmates don't make sense, many
otherwise intelligent citizens
throw up their hands in despair.
But that is dangerous bust
I ness. That is precisely the de-
featiSt attitude the Administra-
ton has been fostering on the
subject Of the budget. 1t is part
and parcel of its defcatiSt atti-
tude on the whole subject Of our
economic future.
This defeatism is based on the
theory, first, that the Americans
people arc finished as 4 great
and growing nation, and second,
that they cannot understand the
financial problem, anyway, so
| why worry them about it?
TO be sure ,scvcnycars Of NAL
administration in Washington
have temporarily held back the
I growth Of our country. But ]
deny that the American people
are finished. America is at the
morning Of IFS destiny.

Three Linemen And Four
Backs Products Of
Knoxville
BY DON WHITEHEAD
APP Feature Service Writer


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 3d.
The hometown boys are doing al
right with the Tennessee Volun-
teerS.
In fact, seven of Major Bob
highlands brightest stars-three
1inemen and four backs-are
home grown products who didn't
have to leave home to have their
talent recognized.
You may find one or more OF
them in the All-America lineup
at the close of the season if they
play the same sparkling brand of
football which crushed Duke 1870
and Florida $40.
Here they are:
Robert (the ripper Foxx, a big
blond lad who is making Tennes-
see fans forget about George Ca
fego in the important tailback
spot. Bob was the hero of the
Duke conquest, passing to Sub
.Stitute End Al Hust for the first
touchdown, kicking the extra
point, and then scoring the sec
ond marker himself through the
line. He played for two years
at the wingback position with
little chance to, shine as a ball
carrier. And now he has his
chance for football glory for Ten
neSsee's tailback does most of the
passing, kicking and running.
Eel-Hipped Rebel
Johnny (Reb) Butler, an eel
hipped little fellow who spells
Foxx at the tailback spot and
can run, pass and kick with the
best of them. 1t was Johnny
who broke loose in the Alabama
game last year with a sensational
67-yard broken field run to spark
the Vols to victory over the
Tide. He came through with ST.
and 50-yard runs against Ala
Ooiild again lillS yCdI.
Bob Suffridge. one of the fin
est guards in the nation and a
defensive wheel-hoSS. .Bob's ad-
mirers thought he would have
beat out his teammate, Molinski,
for All-America honors last fall
If he hadn't been injured in mid
season and forced to the sideline
during the last half of the cam
paign. But his bad knee ap-
pears to be coming along in good
shape this year.
Bob Andridge, understudy to
Foxx last year, has been shifted
to the wingback post on the
starting lineup and is one Of the
most improved players on the
squad. He's fast, does the 100 in
better than 10 seconds, and is the
hardest blocker among the Vols.
Fred OK Newman, a rangy,
192-pounder. was the only sophie
more backfield man to get into
the first-string lineup on Ten
nessee's undefeated, united, and
unsecured on team of 1899. This
year he is alternating at wing
back and fullback on the No.
team.

DIAMOND GLEANINGS

SAVERS BARRIERS reg
tistered a one sided victory over
NavSta last night at Bayview
Park in an exhibition softball
game for the benefit of the Red
Cross. Two games have been
played for the benefit of the To-
cal chapter but the money above
expenses has been very Scant.
Cheta Baker. NavSta shortstop,
accomplished one OF those "once-
ina lifetime" feats last night.
| Lead-off man for the Station
players, he stepped into the bat
ter's box to open his teams half
of the first inning and poled a
home run into center. Memo Cas-
tro, relieving Walker in the sew
enth, walked four batters in a
row after retiring the first one.
PLAY RIGHT OF not at all"
is the sentiment of several man
ayers of the Key West Amateur
Softball Association. Forfeits,
disregard of board of commits
sion's decision by the BARRIERS,
who continue to use associations
equipment without charge in ex-
hibition games and other minor
faults have tended to reduce in
tereSt in this sport. A solution
must be found in a hurry or soft
ball will be definitely OUT in
the next few weeks.
EVIDENCE of the situation
now current in the Softball sport
is supplied by the lack of interest
displayed last night. A regular
meeting of the Board of Mana
gers had been scheduled to take
up important matters. A change
of bylaw was to be voted on
and approval given revised
schedule. Ways and means to
raise funds to keep the asSocia-
ton out of debt were also on tap
fer the meeting last night. But
what happened? Only three man
ayers out of nine were in at
tendance, thus neceSsitating post
ponement of the session due to
lack of quorum.
