List Of Abuses

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5. (UP)-
Pacific coast conference officials
revealed today that their own in
vestigator had listed high pressur-
ing" of high school football players
as one of several athletic program
abuses at west coast colleges.
Edwin N. Atherton, former Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation agent,
spent two years investigating the
conference. He was paid $4,000
Tor what was believed TO be the
most exhaustive study ever made
of college athletic subsidization and
its effects.
The portion of Atherton's report
which dealt with individual inStitu-
tons was not made public and the
conference officials explained that
he found that certain practices
and abuses common to intercol-
legiate athletics in most parts OF
the country exist in the Pacific
coast conference, most notably in
the case of football"
Recruiting
Here were the abuses Atherton
said occurred during recruiting
of high school and junior college
stars:
l.-"High pressure" methods en-
ployed in competition for prospec-
tive athletes.
2.-Provision for trips andlor en-.
tertainment for prospective athletes
by alumni and other off-campu'
groups.
3.-Financial inducements TO at.
tend an institution, in the form
of jobs provided before enrolment
payment OF transportation to the
campus for men coming from a dis
tance; sponsorship; jobs arranged
by relatives and promises OF EN-
ployment or other favors after grad
uation.
Sponsorship" is the agreement
by wealthy friend or alamnuS tC
pay an athletes expenses through
school.
Prep School Pay s...
Another abuse Atherton revealed
was the payment OF youths way
through prep school while he make:
up scholarship deficiencies to en-
ter the university which wants hin
on an athletic team.
After the high school star ha'
been dined and entertained, and
lured to the campus on free
railroad ticket, the process con.
tinues, Atherton discovered From
his survey, the conference official.
revealed the following abuses oc-
curing on the campuses:
Scholarships granted for pure
ly athletic reasons and paid fol
either out of athletic receipts o.
from funds raised by alumni Of
public subscriptions.
2.-Lax or inadequate supervision
OF work on campus jobs and pay
rnent for services not actually rem
dered.
3.-Creation of off-campus job
for athletes in which compensation
is out of proportion to the service
actually rendered.
4.-Fraternity aids to athletes il
the form of reduced rates for room
and board, as well as granting lib
eral credit and other favors.

VOLUME l. NUMBER a.

The need for more leaders who actually have some
thing on the ball besides keen desire for fame Is
very great in Greenbe1t, not because have few
such leaders, but because have many org1 nations
needing such leaders. Few, if any, communities
boast of such hi On per cent of capable community
workers, but fewer still boast of many organ
tzations of strictly dom-to-business nature.
Such organi the Citizens Association, A-
1etic Club, the Church groups, we'll the Credit
Union, the Health Association the Milk Buying Club,
the Consumers Services, the Hospital Auxiliary, and
the Cooperator, all require astutes level headed,
Imaginative, energetic leadership-and that means
more than good executive officer; it the
whole executive board committee. Everyone of
the Who1e-the kinds Of work that busine would
hire big paid big shots to do.
For better or for worse Greenbelt Is committed to
thd @bi lions program. Ordinary groups Of mortals
would have said It cou1dn be done, and perhaps
would have been wiser to take thing at time.
But visual1zed ideal Greenbe1t, and We have
launched the program which think leads toward
that ideal. And had confidence in ability to
do leading; did not sell the capabilities
of the average man short, as do so many people.
And although have enough demonstrated ability
and determination the part Of present
nifty workers to give plenty Of hope for the flu
ture Of their basic carnations, there Is doubt-
eddy great need for workers and fresh ideas.
It is great opportunity, too. can testify, per-
sona11y that the practical experience gained by par
ticipatng in these enterprt Is of great personal
value, assuming Of course that one really partici-
pates. Greenbelt does than shelter people; 1t
develops them, rather it gives then the chance to
develop themselves.
The burden of all this IS If you not already
participating in the growth Of Grebe1t, won't you
you most7 community that Is built by all its citi-
Is the community that has the happdest citizens.
Surely such community has the happtest future too

FINLAND'S ACTION
OBy Associated Press)

BERLIN, Jan. 9.-Germany
continued its air attacks against
England today, sending a large
flight of bombing planes over an
east coast naval base, claiming
direct hits on five British ships.
Announcement was also made
of increased Nazi patrol activity
on the Western front in France.
German newspapers are still
carrying lengthy stories on the
subject of Finland. Theme of
the stories is mostly against the
neutral countries of Scandinavia,
although some editorials were
noted with a querying voice as to
why Finland apparently was
carrying on a campaign against
Germany in her communications
with other countries.

The Artman Press this week at

the only licensed printers of the
new patented process known as
the Colorgraph by which two or
more colors can be printed from
single halftone, without any

adaptable in this process. thus
saving the cost of extra plates.

A. c. Schaefer, inventor and
owner of this process, while on
brief visit to Key West, of
which he had heard so much,
made a courtesy call at the print
ing plant without thought of
selling the license, as the smaller
towns are generally disregarded
in such an advanced enterprise,
but when the method was ex-
planned it took no craftsmanship
to make the lease, since the pro-
cess is not sold as a general rule.

of ships for the trip.
Coast Guard Protects
AS a protection against pos
sible danger for the water cross
ing to Havana three Coast Guard
vessels were stationed in the
Straits of Florida on the direct
line to the Cuban capital. They
were the C.G. 1875, the Mohave
out of Miami and the Nemesis
out of st. Petersburg. Each of
the planes was equipped with
two-way radio, SO that swift
communication with one of the
surface vessels. was available in
case of emergency.
Some of the ships took on extra
cargoes of aviation gasoline from
a truck that went to the field.
