City College Frosh Clear Field Of Pebbles For Varsity's Final
BY BURTON BENJAMIN NEA Service Staff Correspondent

New York, Nov. Sl. = Collegiate footballs Joe Unsunas are the thous sands Of forgotten men who play in the minor leagues.
 They get no bowl bids,
 They are conspicuously absent in the "All-Everything" classics.
 They may make the Little Ail- America, . collection of gridtron non-entltles. Or perhaps. if talent is scarce, an All-Natlonality team, And, of course, there's always the All.Jawhreaking team for the boys with tongue-twlssing monlckers,
 The minor leaguers are the boys who play in footballs backyard Their faces may look the same af- ter three years of mashing, but no one knows their names nor fills their pocketbooks.
 Yet, these lads from colleges of all sixes, which cannot or simply refuse to take football too serious ly, are the backbone of the game From thousands of campuses come stories of football devotion which oetdo the frantic adjectives of any big league praise agent.
 And, in many instances, the kids get just as much, or more, fun out of the game they play with such intensity.

Freshmen of City College of New York organized an interesting game to clear the deck for the varsity's final battle with it's keen rival, Brooklyn College.
 City College has 5000 students, but their team is bush league.
 Lewisohn Stadium, where c. c. N. Y. plays. is a grassless place. A pebbled turf bruised and bothered players. So the frosh got together for pebble picking contest.
 More than 500 purchased paper bags for nickel. were allotted a certain area on the field. Medals were awarded for extra diligence with the inscription: 'Plutocrats of Pebble -Pickers." It helped the field tremendously.

Committee members and staff attaches of St. Mary's Hospital struggled for more than two hours last evening to accommodate the more than l,400 persons who at- tended the Benefit Card Party held for the hospital building fund in the new wing of St. Mary's last night. The affair was sponsored by the Nurses Alumnae Association and the Knights of Columbus.
 So great was the outpouring of friends and patrons that 1t was necessary to shift the "45" tourna- inent to the Nurses Home on South Elm street where fourteen teams battled for the mythical champion ship of the city.
 Tn the hospital proper, tables had been set up in the basement and on the first floor of the wing, but these were soon taken and 1t was necessary to commander additional tables from all parts of the hospital, as well as secure more from nearby parish halls. Persons unable to play immediately enjoyed a tour through the upper halls and rooms of the new wing.

$l,000, ,000,00O in federal non-defense spending to ease the financial strain of the defense and British-aid pro- grams. The plea was made in con- nection with the $3,600 900 900 new revenue raising program which treasury officials urged the Ways and Means Committee to adopt yes- terday.
 Doughton said states and local governments have been paying off their debts while we have been increasing the federal debt"
 Tt seems they could well take back e part of the load to ease the federal tax burden" he continued. "The states, with their debts re- duced and better business condi- tions prevailing, ought to be able to carry a larger share of programs assumed by the federal government in the depression"
 Further Hearings
 After receiving Treasury Depart xaent recommendations for drastic new surtaxes on individual incomes beginning on the first dollar of taxable income for new and inc creased excise and luxury taxes, new corporation income surtaxes, up- ward revision of the excess profits levy, and heavy taxes on estates and gifts. doughton called a private meeting of the committee for today to plan further hearings, beginning Monday.
 He indicated the treasury believes it would be unfair to levy surtaxes on individual incomes, without tap- ping through srrtaxes this hitherto untouched source of corporate profit.

The treasury program met imme- diate criticism from Republican members of the committee. Repre- sentative Allen T. Treadway, Mass, ranking Republican, said he would insist that the committee hear in open session the suggestions of 0. E.. Stam, chief of the experts of the joint congressional committee on internal revenue taxation.
 Stam has presented plans for substantially lighter surtaxes on the lower income brackets, higher sur- taxes on the upper brackets, and for new excise and luxury taxes to raise more money than the treasury proposed to get from this source. The treasury started Its surtax at Il per cent on the first dollar of taxable income, and Starn proposed to begin surtaxes at six per cent after allowing a flat 5000 exemp- ton.
