The High School B squad bow
ed to the Commissary quintet,

The Varsity started slow and
was trailing at the halfway
stage. The Students came back
strong in the final two rounds,
shook off the istless effect of the
opening half, sank 81 points to
eight for the Elks and put the
game on ice.
The battle was one of the
toughest seen on a local court in
many years
The Conchs were led by Bar
Der, Sawyer, Haskins and Schon-
eek. The latter was forced to
leave the game in the last quar-
ter because of an injury. He
scored Is points while active.
The Students looked like a
different team after the first
half as they kept peppering the
hoop for points.
Kroneck and Comet were the
best pointers for the Elks, while
Woodson and Gates played a
good game.

Fodav's Horoscope

Today's nature is jovial and
sympathetic, perhaps inclined to
be rather Self-indulgent and may
be liable to fits of indiscretion.
The resolute nature given by to-
day should be exercised lest
there be a relapse into weakness,
due, perhaps more to the liberal
ity of the nature than to wilful-
ness.

nered Todd in the living room.

realized it or not, but you lost

you were reading that letter. In
fact, thought you even cracked
a smile at one spot. Your first

Luttrell slapped Todd's thigh.

you. And it's bound to make
difference-a whale of a differ
ence. You know what I'm talking
about, l hope"
Todd grinned sheepishly. yeah,

1t was good news Todd had re-
ceived, but there was a qualify
ing note in it. Duke Malone eX-
pected to be paroled in two
months but in that time he had
to figure out way to raise some
money. A lot Of money, it APP
peared to Todd. Three thousand
dollars.
Duke Malone was going to
give up gambling. For good. For
$4,000 he could buy into a small
manufacturing business a friend
was starting.
There were men who owed him
plenty but it was a funny thing,
Duke told Todd, how easily they
forgot, or found themselves UNI
able to help. He'd get that money,
though.
And it wasn't to be Todd's
worry, either. The Duke was
pretty inSistent about that. They
each had their own private little

front was started quite by acci-
dent by a brilliant 21-year-old
radio instructor, Stanley Levin
son. Always anxious to improve
his teaching methods, the young
instructor was in the habit of fin
ishing up his courses by passing
out ''Gripe Sheets" The men were
asked to use the sheets for candid
and anonymous opinions and sug-
gestions for bettering the course.
ONE class, however, never seemed
to find time to write up ''Gripe
Sheets" So at graduation, Levin
son asked them to mail their COM
ments in whenever they could.
He expected one or two letters
at most, but a veritable avalanche
began to descend on him a few
weeks later. Almost as if prear-
ranged, each letter urged the men
in training to keep at it and men
toned bits of classroom study be-
ing put into actual practice.
The next class to graduate was
so impressed with this mail that
it decided on its own to continue
the new policy of writing back.
The first letters to be received
were a revelation to many. For
some it meant the first real un-
derstanding Of how their study
fitted into the war effort.

that there is no war production pro
gram as yet and that until there is nc
manpower program is possible.
Although not opposing compulsion
as such, it believes that the scurrying
around for immediate passage of COM
pulsory service laws is a sign of adj
ministrative failures and shows lack
of confidence in the American public
on the part of some agency officials.
In all of the current drafts of such
| legislation the committee has seen
nothing to suggest any of the related
problems, or anything save compul-
sorry service, is to be dealt with, said
the committee.
A few of the things the Tolan com
mittee found wrong:
When war manpower commission
issued directives and rejuggled a few
agencies, authority was never clear,
and chaos increased.
U. S. Employment Service under
VINO still responds to state and To-
cal pressures" and fails to make use
of training facilities. Government
subsidy of trainees and their later
movement to war jobs is urged.
On the production front, 100 major
firms still hold so per cent of all war
contracts.

war purposes increased from $4,000

December last, the committee says
that up to July 81 a total of 17,000,-
100000 was approved for industrial
facility expansion, as compared to
s63 900, 100000 for supply contracts.
Much of this was haphazard and UNI
necessary, the report says. Much pro-
duction still awaits new plants, some
not to be completed until July, 1943.
1.-THE war agencies and industry,
despite or because of their great pre-
occupation with facility expansion,
have thus far devoted little attention
to direct methods of increasing capac-
ity and labor efficiency"
Contracts continue to go to crowded
war areas. New York and some
smaller middle west communities are
idle, while of three programs an
nounced OF date for concentration of
curtailed civilian products in smaller
plants, one was in a labor shortage
area.
An aggressive inventory policy
