Flores
Allows
l Hit

Displaying wonderful con-
troll and a varied pitching
repertoire. little Les Flores
let down the Brawley town
team with one hit Sunday
afternoon as his Ell Centre team
mates scored an easy 100 victory.
Batter after batter faced and was
baffled by Flores slants as he retir-
ed the side inning after inning.
Eddie Beechey started off on the
mound for Brawley and pitched a
good game. He had to be taken out,
however, when the Ell Centre squad
made three unearned runs off him.
When tall Claud Downtown came
in to replace Beechey the Ell Centre
team really went to work.
Amos Chick, playing second for
Ell Centre, led . off the hit parade
with a three-bagger. Johnny Ward,
substitute, added similar blow
to the FL Centre hit total while lVs
teammate, Otis Briggs, pounded out
long double. Briggs hit bounced
off the wall and might easily have
cleared for homer.

Every attempt will be made to
hold the annual Imperial Valley
golf tournament at the Barbara
Worth country club this year in
spite of rationing and such.
This decision on the part of Off
Gals of the club was probably reach
ed because the two other clubs in
the valley, the Del Rio in Brawley
and the International in Calexico,
will not try TO carry on their an
nual tournies.
This will encourage many en-
thusiasts from those towns to
trek to the club in the center of
the valley for their touch of COM
petitive golf for which every club
swinger yearns.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-(UP)-
Eastern basketball enthusiasts are
still agog over that goofy game
at Madison Square Garden Satur-
day night in which Fordham aban-
doned its usual defensive tactics
and pitted 'firehouse" against
"firehouse' methods to upset
Rhode Island State, "a to rs.
The Gardens record cage crowd
of 1894 developed balata neckS
from watching the torrents of shots
at both ends of the court, as half
dozen Garden scoring marks were
hettered.
Today the experts are arguing
all over the east about the signifi-
canoe of this supset-if any. Some
say Fordhams triumph proves
that the object of basketball is to
outscore the other team, regard
less Of defense. Others maintain
that Fordhams superior defense
prevented Rhode Island from scor-
ing as much as the FordhamiteS
in a fast-running game.
BLITZ SCHOOL
The latter school of thought,
which supports the bookish game
against the blitz type, points out
that the Rhode Island team had
averaged 90 points per game, be-
fore tangling with the Fordham
Rams. In fact, the Rhode Is
landers defeated Fl Williams by
the adding machine figure of l24

However, supporters of the fire
house" game insists that Ford
hams unexpected about attack
surprised the Rhode Islanders and
put them on the defensive, thus
permitting Fordham to monopolize
the ball. do more shooting, and
make more baskets.
We do not know which theory is
correct. We do know, however,
that last season Coach Ed Kelleher
of For0ham concentrated on de-
Tense against the Rhode Islanders
experimentation play, and lost to
Coach Frank Keaney's team in an
extra period. Kelleher kept his two
tallest Fordham men in the back
court where they could do no scor-
ing. Meanwhile his two smallest
men forward tried to fight five
husky Staters under the boards
Because Kelleher was expected to
use the same system Saturday

Politicians and OPA

Russell H. Potter, recently dis
placed as acting New York district
director of the Office of Price Admin
istration, has made public the serious
charge that the OPA in New York
and other Eastern States is being
used as a political patronage ma
chine, with results more insidious
than any black market" Mr.. Pot
ter's complaints have not as yet been
denied by anyone in OPA. although
Senator Mead of New York, one of
those named by the former OPA Of
fetal, denied that he had any po-
litical interest in the agency.
In addition to Senator Mead, those
accused by Mr.. Potter of political
Vaccinations" in connection with
the operation of OPA in New York
are Edward J. Flynn, former ma
tional Democratic political boss;
Frank v. Kelly, Brooklyn political
leader. and Michael j. Kennedy,
Tammany Hall chieftain. Writing to

ministrator, MIR. Potter accused these
men of number of specific instances
Of interference with appointments,
and said that he was severing his con-
nection with OPA because 1T is in
conceivable that the OPA, which was
created ostensibly for the public well
fare and the Nations security, should
become a political patronage ma
chine for the aggrandizement of poll
ticians and political machines"
This is a complaint which might
justif1ably be received with reserva-
tions. 1t may very we'll be true that
some politicians, pressed for jobs by
their adherents, would not hesitate
to pass them on to OPA. But it by
no means follows that this will re-
suit in the aggrandizement of their
political machines or the improve
ment of their political fortunes. OPA,
necessarily or otherwise, probably is
the greatest single source of irrita-
ton to the voters in this country, and
it may be doubted that any discern
ing politician would want to become
identified as the sponsor and backer
of a horde of OPA job holders
Notwithstanding these consider
ations, however, Mr.. Potter's COM
plant is supported by chapter-and-
verse recital of specific cases in which
OPA appointments have been inf1u-
enced by narrow political objectives.
In view of this, responsible OPA Of

hitherto unrecognized and unused poten-
tialities, emerged. It was not merely
change of name, but rather a change
Of character, and with the change of
character, a new purpose in life.
We recall as we write another notable
case of this transformation. Many years
ago there came under our observation
a man of unusual gifts and power, whose
large accumulations of wealth were the
result of his genius and application. He
had reached threescore years, and up
to that time he had interpreted life and
its meaning in terms of elf-development
and self-having. Suddenly he was ar
rested by the fact that there was some
thing better to do in the world than
to accumulate wealth. Further than
this he realized that if he were to have
the experience and joy of doing some
thing for others, it were better to do it
before his will was probated. The re-
suit Of his determination raised him from
a position of Indifferent regard in the
city in which he lived to place of high
distinction and power. He later became
the center of the peoples affection. In
other words, he had power with God and
with men, and prevailed.
Where Jesus touched mems lives, He
sought to interpret to them the real no.
bility of service for others. In other
words He transformed them. 1t is COM
ing to be assumed that no man or WoM-
an may have power with their fellows
and prevail unless they have power with
God Said great author, "the Almighty
writes letter of credit on some mems
faces, which is honored wherever pre-
sented" Such lives need no human
underwriting.
To see men and women struggling to
accumulate simply that they may have,
rather than accumulating that they may
give, and In giving prevail, is indeed
pathetic, If not tragic. After all, power
of any kind is valuable only when its
true serviceability is realized and applied,
and the sooner every one of us begins
to realize this fact. the sooner will we
create that great fraternity of interests
for which the global war is being fought
and for which we believe, under God, it
will be won.

TRANSFORMED POWER
By the Right Req. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop of Washnqton

Thy name shall be called no more
Jacob, but Israel; for as q prince hast
thou power with God and with men, and
hast prevailed"
The man to whom these words were
spoken was one whose life up to this
point had witnessed to selfishness and
self-seeking. Jacob had, by deceit and
sharp practice, attained q position Of
power and influence, but 1t was power
and influence misused and misdirected.
He was in his day what men call pros
porous and successful" but like much of
such prosperity and success, it did not
reckon with the great social plan Of
things. A certain great captain of in
dustry declared several years ago that
he regarded it as a sin. for a man to die
rich, and forthwith he undertook to dis
pense the millions he had accumulated.
But, work as he might, and he did it
with unusual consistency, he died before
his task was accomplished. Doubtless
the last 20 years of his long and event.
full life were the happiest he experienced.
Like Jacob, he reached the point where
he realized that mere self-seeking and
sef-having were unworthy and unsatis-
factory ends. 1t is amazing how few of
us realize the real purpose of life, and
at the same time its deeper joys until
we have passed into the period that
men call old age. Jacob, by ordinary
standards, was respectable member of
society. He doubtless made ample pro-
vision for his own household and was
generous to his own immediate servants
But his life was narrow, insular and sell
fish for all that. He had come to the
great crisis in his experience, where
he was returning to an environment
that he had dishonored and that prom
ised no assurance of welcome. He was
driven to think seriously of the con-
sequences of his sins and mistakes, and
it was while in deep reflection, coupled
no doubt with sincere penitence. that he
was called from his old life and outlook
to the new vision of life's larger mean
ing. His very name, which suggests
"supplanter,' was changed to Israel
which implies princely gifts of power,
power with God and with men. In other
words, the real, true man, with all the

troops.
United Kingdom casualties were
275,844-73,477 being killed, 75,403
missing, 50,163 wounded and 76,8O1
prisoners. These compare with cas-
ualties for the Empire as whole Of
92,089 killed, 226,719 missing, 1924
wounded and 101 ,891 prisoners. From
these figures it is evident that the
great majority of the men known to
have been killed, wounded or taken
prisoner came from the United King
dom. The seeming discrepancy in
the missing category is accounted
for by the statistics for India, which
show sc, ,289 missing as against 14,500
killed, wounded and taken prisoner.
This is attributable principally to the
defeat on the Malay peninsula, when
large Plumbers of Indian troops were
lost, presumably as prisoners of the
japanese.
1t is interesting to note that the
total of Empire troops killed in three
years of this war-92 ,O89-is far less
than the losses of either the Union
army or the Confederate army in our
own Civil War. But Mr.. Attlee's fig

Arqentinu's Busic Problem

A key to an understanding of the
history Of the Argentine Republic
perhaps may be found in the fact
that the country originally was set
tied from four different sources
Chile, Peru, Paraguay and Spain.
The great pastoral areas are occupied
by "the self-sustaining, conservative
gauchos" who are federalistic in their
political views. In Buenos Aires, on
the other hand, there always has
been strong unitary sentiment, the
portenos naturally striving to be the
dominating influence" in the gov
ernment of the nation.
This is to suggest that centripetal
and centrifugal forces are engaged
in long struggle for supremacy.
Should federalism or centralism
control the Plata basin?" was the
question throughout the nineteenth
century. The movement for separa-
ton from Spain came to a climax
in 1911, and a congress elected a
dictator for the achievement of in
dependence. The ensuing conflict
was a sanguinary struggle. When
freedom theoretically had been &C
complished, supreme director" was
chosen at a convention at Tucuman
in 1916. The new ruler, however,
discovered himself quite incapable
of reducing the political chaos to
anything resembling the organization
called for by the constitution" He
finally was permitted to retire" in
1919. Then followed civil war, the
irate caudillos of the Provinces of
Entire Rios and Santa Fe marching
against the "despots" of Buenos Aires
with the avowed object of insuring
the liberty and equality of which
they believed the constitution aimed
to rob them"
During the same period Argentina
was involved in a contest with Brazil.
The hostilities continued until 1928.

uel Rosas-shortly afterwards was

remained in power approximately
twenty years, ruthlessly prosecuting
"the filthy, loathsome, savage Uni

his rule, it will suffice to mention
that "at least 10000 Argentines were
in exile in the year 1843, when the
terror was at it's height" Friction
between the dictator and England
and France led to the blockading of
the Plata. A personal quarrel with
one of his lieutenants-Justo Jose
Urquiza-finally cost him a crushing
defeat at Monte Caseros. He fled to
Europe and died there.
But peace did not abide in the
Republic. There was civil turmoil
again in 1859. General Bartolome
