 with Hitler

BERLIN, Feb 29.--It is revealed 1 by high German officials, on the eve of the arrival of Sumner Welles, American Under Secretary of State, that the German regime will stand firm, demanding free hand in cen- tral and southeastern Europe and also return of colonies lost as result of the World War.

GERMAN CUSTOMS
 SYSTEM SUDDENLY UNDERG0ES CHANGE
Two ProfeCtorafes Moi h. eIuded in Proposed
 New Plan

BERLIN, Feb. 29.-Officials an- nounce that plans have been aban- doned for inclusion of the protec- torate of Bohemia and Moravia in the German customs system.
 Previously it had been announced that the custom frontier between the Reich and the protectorate would be abolished on April l. It was explained that the incorpora- ton of the protectorate into the customs territory of Germany would make necessary revision of Ger many's trade agreements with oth- CT nations. This lengthy and com plicated process was considered too difficult under wartime conditions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-Represen- tative Thomas of New Jersey, Re- publican member of the Dies Com mittee, charged today that Attor- ney General Jackson's "extraordin- ary" dismissal of recent indictments for Spanish War recruiting in De- troit was motivated by Communist sympathies.

The aid of Turkey, against which the Allies were forced to mass 100000 men in the last war, is a prime factor in Allied plans.

AN INSTITUTION

AN INSTITUTION
 Benny has long been an insti- tuition in Philadelphia. The stories about him would fill a book. It is related that one time former Gov. Earle of Pennsylvania was chatting with Benny when up came the subject of motion pictures. Benny complained of fraud.
 You can't never tell what these pictures is going to be about any more," complained Benny to the Governor. Just the other night here I was going to a picture show and it was supposed to be about sheep up on the Canadian Boundary. But inside do I get a show about sheep? Nav. It's about fightin' on ships down in them South Sea islands. But how was I going to tell that when outside everything says it is Mutton on the Boundary"
 Of course Benny does not sign his name Benny the Bum. He used to get mighty wrought up when

 In event Russia and Germany unite in the Near East, Weygand's armies might try to drive through the Caucasus and cut the Soviet's oil pipelines tA) from the Baku oil fields on the Caspian Sea to Baum on the Black Sea, thus severing Russias principal supply line and her main feedline to Germany.

Salvation Of Tennis

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Jan. -.
N-Open competition or revised in
depreciation of the amateur code of
the United States Lawn Tennis as.
ISOLATION are the only salvations of
this court game, Professional Bruce
Barnes said today.
Tennis in the United States is at
the lowest ebb in it's history" the
AUSTIN, Texas, veteran declared,
and unless the U. S. L. T. A. does
something to rectify the situation it
is headed for the ash heap"
rams are in a receptive mood and
the net game has all the possibilities
OF being n of the foremost sports
of the country if it sets it's house in
ORDER continued Barnes, who is
here to coach a New York PLAYER
Tor next weeks Florida west coast
tournament.
The amateur tennis situation is
IN a ~deplorable state, however. In
day as an amateur we went on
the summer tennis tours, it is true,
u today a number of the nations
ranking amateurs make a 12-months
business of tennis.
THE situation is most distastefu]
in view of the fact that many cities,
as in the case of st. Petersburg,
schedule tournaments only to find
that many of the foremost netmen
expected will not play, the usual ex.
cuse being hat offers were not at.
tractive enough
And even though they're making
a business out of it, the so-called
amateurs don't turn professional be.
cause they realize they can't com.
pete successfully with men like
Bulge, Perry, Vines, Tilden and 9th.
er top-notch professionals.
IF the U. S. L. r. A. is going to
clean up the game it ought to do a
thorough job Of it, either that or be
more liberal in Interpretation of the
amateur CODE"
Barnes offered as a solution spon.
sorship of open tennis competition
by the U. S. l.. r. A. Amateurs and
professionals would compete together
as they do in golf, the professionals
dividing the purse and the amateurs
receiving prizes,
Such a procedure would match
the country's leading players and
leave no doubt as to the national
ranking of a player. either amateur
or professional"

Pitt Coach Thinks Center Jump
Gone Forever From Basketball

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 12-R0On
the word of no less an authority
than the inventor of the backfiring
reverse offense,' basketball has de-
f%initely and finally divorced the
center jump.
TITS gone for good" said DR.. H.
C. Carlson, coach of the Pitt Cagers,
land all the agitation in the world
can't bring it back. The new game
Is the closest thing we've had to
perpetual motion and the customers
seem to like it,
A husky red head crowding the
six-foot mark, Carlson has been
coaching Pitt basketball teams for
10 years and doesn't e any reason
why "I can't go on for 10 years
more"
There have been a lot of changes
since I started coaching basketball"
he said, land I believe every one
has helped the game"
In a constantly changing game
universal enforcement of the rules
would go a long way toward elim-
mating sectional differences, the
doctor believes.
"For example," he said, there's
the rule that says an offensive play
err must not come within three feet
of a defensive man. 1t was pushed
through by a group of eastern
