WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-It develops that
Senator Byrd of Virginia, one Of the Presi'
dents ~severest critics, made it possible for
the budget to be held low enough to skin under
the 45-billion debt limit.
Last June the senate, at Byrd's request,
called on all the government corporations to
submit financial statements. The order went
to all such organizations as RFC, Commodity
Credit Corporation, Export-Import Bank, Fed
eral Crop Insurance and a dozen or more
others. Byrd said many Of them had a lot Of
Of capital they did not need and might well
send back to the treasury.
When it came time for the President to
make up the budget, he was ready to agree
with Byrd.
with the lessening need for loans in some
cases and the growing SURPRISES in other cases,
Mr.. Roosevelt said in his budget message, ut
appears that some of these corporations will
have excess capital funds. Currently, in re-
spouse to Senate Resolution $50 (Byrd's), a
comprehensive survey and appraisal of assets
of government corporations is being carried
out. On the basis of preliminary studies, I
estimate that it will prove feasible to reduce
the capital funds of some of these corporations
by an aggregate figure Of $500, 000, 900, without
in any way impeding their operations"
With that much money to give him a lift,
the President scaled the budget under the
deadline by a narrow s61, 600, coo. That is, pro-
vided $3.50, 000, 900 is raised by special de1ense
taxes.
However, Byrd thought the money, when
found, should have been used to reduce this
national debt, not merely to crutch up this
years budget. Just a technicality, however. he
agreed.
The fine hat of Rep. Marvin Jones OF
Texas, chairman of the House agriculture
committee, is yet to be heard from. He laid
out SIS for a fine new topper and was adj

"No, 1 DON'T drawled Summers, with

as much as a hat can in that direction"
But all is not frivolity on the hill these

Travel Far Different
Routes 10 Success
As Grid Leaders
Packers Mentor Quits
School, Forms Team
As Shipping Clerk
BY TOM SILER,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

CHICAGO, Aug. 28-Twenty-two
years ago Eddie Anderson and Cur
ley Lambeau were illustrious team
mates when the immortal Knute
Rockne began his dazzling climb to
fame at Notre Dame.
Now both are famous football
coaches in their own right, Ander-
son as the dynamic tutor at the
University of Iowa and Lambeau as
director of the Green Bay Packers,
pro champions and the "winningest"
team in the money game.
Thursday night they meet for the
first time as rival coaches in the
seventh All-Star game in Soldier
Field, which pits the Packers against
the campus senior heroes of 1899.
Their paths divided after that one
season together on the late Rockne' s
first Irish" eleven in 1918. Ander-
son finished school, tried his hand
at pro football while gaining his
medical degree, and finally wound
up as a top-fiight college coach.
Lambeau Guiding Light.
But Lambeau quit school and took
job as shipping clerk in the
Acme Packing Co. back in his native
Green Bay, Wis, and the bulky
French-Belgian never has had rea-
son to regret that decision. His
farewell to Notre Dame led to the
birth and amazing growth of the
Packer football machine.
Lambeau talked his boss into
financing a plant team to the ex-
tent of $500. The club was known
as the Packers and held it's name
through the years, although it has
had no connection with the firm
since 1920.
Green Bay fans merely tolerated
Lambeau's squad in those early
days. but did perk up bit in 1920
when the Packers defeated the Min
neapolis Marines, then a member of
the National League. BY 1921 Lam
beau knew he had something, so
when a vacancy occurred in the
National League that season he
rushed to Columbus, Ohio, and paid
$50 for a franchise. One of them
now costs $4,000. The Packers to-
day have an estimated value of
S250,OO0.
Small Towns Attendance Big.
Lambeau's daring in pushing
Green Bay into the big league OF
pro football appealed to the home
town pride. Fans Immediately sub
scribed to all the stock in the new
organization and have stood by
loyalty ever since.
The Packers, however, had rough
going financially for several seasons.
They lost 81 500 in 1921, first year
in the league, but managed to break
even for the next few years. But
they got going in 1929, winning the
title that season and not being de-
throned until 1882. They, won again
in 1886 and last year captured the
crown again, giving them a record
of having won two more titles than
any other team.
Green Bay is only a tenth the
size of Washington, yet the Packers
are in the leagues upper attendance
bracket, strong evidence Of their
amazing drawing power.

So far Mrs. Lees entries have

Hi Ho and Clover Seed became the

crown by winning the half-bred

an easy pass kept Tech from beat
