in Washington, Cuts Himself a Slice
 Of Red Tape, and How
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHING TON. Oct. 1s. = Thomas E. Dewey, who not so long ago had at least toe-hold on nomination for the Presidency, came to Washington the other day to cut himself a slice of red tape. Along in the spring he was se- lected chairman of that drive to raise s1l,000,OO0 for the United Service Organizations the conl- munity chest for recreation in the armed forces. Dewey did his part and the money topped the goal.
 The government had sponsored the idea and agreed to furnish off, the reservation housing for the USO. Into the national defense housing bill for $120.000000 went provision for building 225 USO cantonments. The bill passed and John M. Carmody's Federal Works Agency was given administration.
 So what happens? Nothing, says Dewey With no cantonmenss quilt and no word of any build- ing, Dewey began to get a let Of complains. What was happening with all that $ll,C00 0g0?
 That's why the former Presi- 4ential aspisant came to Wash Egton tc nip q little red tape. lie wouldn't tell how he did it, but he did say that T think every thing will be all right from now on. I just called few people and saw a few more. For the most part, I found everybody very cooperative especially in the Army and Navy DELAY A CAPITAL MYSTERY
 The delay in getting the USO recreation drive under way has been one of the mysteries of the capital. The subject of Army mor- ale has been widely discussed. Edi- torials, articles and speeches on it have been included in the Con- gressional Record almost daily.
 Still, no one has taken it very seriously for very long. Not even those politicians who seize on anything for cause. Why? I asked an Army official, veteran of World War I.
 There are, he told me, two definite sides to this question and besides, almost any politician knows that the quickest way to raise . groups morale is to go about shouting that it is dragging bot tom

Ely split the six individual events

Defeats Border City Here
to End Three-Gdnle
Losing Streak.

Roaring back into the win column
after three consecutive setbacks, the
Memorial high basketball team will
travel to Mt. Iron Friday night TO
engage the Mountaineers.
Defeating International Falls, 44-33,
in handy fashion here last week, Ely
now takes on the Mountaineers, a
club that Virginia defeated last week
only on lucky break as the gun ended
the game.
A foul committed by a Mt. Iron
player as the gun sounded was turned
into a 1-point win, 1898, as a Virginia
player sent the ball through the hoop
to end a deadlock Virginia and Ely
split their games, each taking one,
which gives some indication of what
the Vermilion range crew faces in
Coach Bert SHADES crew.
Lloyd Bird, who cracked a rib last
week in a practice session, will not
be in the lineup, Bird, who also was
out Of the Falls game, will probably
not see action until the district tour
nament.
Displaying a defense that the Bor-
der City was unable to solve, Coach
Steve Smrekar's club had little diff
Guilty with the Falls. Just before the
half ended Ely was in the van, 20-7
and at the end of the third period held
a 32-7 advantage.
The cleanest game played on Men,
orial court this season, the two clubs
committed only 16 fouls. Out Of 10
chances at the free throw line, however,
only Z were good, Ely sinking and
the Falls 8.
Al Logar, George PerkoVich, Sub
Louis Senta, and Al Rowe, who re-
placed Bird in the lineup, all sank fou
goals, but Logar with two charity
losses led the scoring. Donald Prola,
another reserve, counted twice from the

State Bureau of Fisheries Says
Added Propagation of
Suckers Needed.

A recommendation for increased
propagation of northern pike and

forage species for game fish - is con-
tanned in the annual report Of Unit
of Fish Propagation, State Bureau OF
Fisheries.
During 1910 approximately $4,000, 900
northern pike eggs were handled. These
yielded about 10000 eyed eggs and
fry which were distributed. Five mil

with the expressed need of both
northern pike and forage fish in our
lakes, it seems that further propaga-
tion of these species is justified if
the source is available" the report
said
Statistics on the 1910 walleye pike

493, 900 walleyes trapped last spring
427 900 or roughly SO per cent were
males, while u per cent or approx

TO RESUME conference PLAY

Resume Conference Play After
Two-Week Layoff; ltasca
Has Formidable Club.

With two weeks Of rest and medlta-
ton behind them, the Ely Junior Col
lege basketball team VIII renew con-
ference competition here Friday night,
meeting the up-and-coming Itasca
quintet.
While the rest the club has been tax
ing has not eliminated practice ses-
sions. the meditation being done over
the accomplishments Of Itasca wasn't
exactly comforting.
Itasca last week polished of a deter
mined Hibbing aggregation, 1928, a
team that defeated the Vermilion
range crew twice. Earlier in the sea-
son Itasca invaded the Iron Ore cap
ital 10 down the Cardinals, 1884, or
their own floor.
The I.ascans' performance the next
night against Duluth was hardly less
creditabIe even though they lost by
a 3-pOint margin, 4I-38.
incidentally Ely started Duluth on
its present winning streak when the
Vermiion range club bowed TO Coach
Al Loucks' team, 1870.
In z previous engagement the Itas-
cans defeated Ely, 1881.
An inspection Of the records re-
veaIs that Torsti Franui, towering CEN
ter, has stamped himself as one of
the conferences leading scorers. Franti
has enmassed a total Of IA points in
z games, including the two with
Northland college, for an average OF
y per game.
Franti has tossed in SO baskets and
20 free throws.
Al Banks. who led the scoring dur
ing the first part Of the season, has
IO8 points. In recent games FTanti
and Banks have developed a passing
combination that has worked well
against all opponents, with each oc-
casionaIly sacrificing shots TO give the
other a chance at the hoop.
Tony Grahek is in third place with
81 points and Willie Grahek. fourth,
with So.
All told the club has tossed in 185
field goals for an average Of Is per
game.
