OPEN F0RU M
WALTER L. POPE FAILS TO SECURE
FEDERAL LJUDGESHIP

FEDERAL lJDDGEoHlf
On December 12, 1914, R. Lewis Brown
of Butte, Montana was recommended for
the Federal Judgeship vacancy caused by
the death of Judge James H. Baldwin.
Brown was chosen from list of many
candidates for the position among whom
was Walter L. Pope of Missoula.
Many citizens entered protest to our
Montana Senators opposing the ap-
pointment Of Pope.
PROTESTS PREVAILED
One of the protests forwarded to
Washington is in part as follows:
by way Of protest and objection to
any consideration Of Walter L. Pope for
appointment as Federal District Judge in
Montana, the undersigned respectfully
represents to you in your official capa-
city that such consideration Of potential
appointment would not receive the ap-
probation of the general public Of Mon
tana, more especially those who know
Pope or his background
The said Pape has never to the writ
er's knowledge ever taken part in any
important litigation as an attorney. His

question: what recommendations
has the Social Security Board made with
respect to extending the coverage of old
age and survivors insurance."
Answer: The Social Security Board
has recommended revision Of the law to
provide protection for all workers and
their families regardless Of occupation.
When a self-employed person or an en-
ploye of any non-profit institution or
farm or domestic worker reaches age
65, and wishes to retire, he or she is
faced with the fact that under the pres
ent law no old age insurance benefits
can be expected. If one of them should
die there are no survivor insurance pay
ments for his family. The Social Secur-
ity Board believes the law should bt
changed so that everyone who works Ions
enough to qualify may claim benefits a
the appropriate time.

At last a boxing commissioner has
come up with move that is really
important. John Hall, New Jerseys
one-man board, has organized classes
for referees and seconds.
Teaching the latter is the most
constructive thing boxing has had
since Big Jim Farley, encouraged
by invaluable equipment, saved the
professional game by passing the
no-foul rule. It strikes at a point
that has to do with the welfare of
the boxer. It's about time someone
thought of him.
More than 100 seconds assembl-
ed in a Newark auditorium for
Commissioner Halls first class Ply
sicians and Prof. Billy Mccartney,
Ray Arcel and other experienced
handlers lectured. Cleanliness was
emphasized. The treating of cuts
was fully explained by DR.. Louis
Stern, top medico of the New Jersey
body. Many questions were asked,
and DR.. Stern answered all with a
thoroughness that brought home
the numerous shortcomings of the
tyro handler.

New York, Feb. 23.-(UP)-Bill
Smith of Hawaii, now a sailor at
the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station, will head an about assault
on world records for free-style
swimming at the National A. A. U.
championships at Ann Arbor, Mich,
late next month.
Alan Ford Of the Canal Zone, a
student at Yale; and Hawaiian-born
Keo Nakama of Ohio State u, two
Of the worlds outstanding mermen,
will aid In the assault.
Husky, 19-year- old Smith, who
holds seven world free-style records,
told the United Press his teaching
Job at the Great Lakes pool had i'm
proved his condition so that he is
confident of churning out some new
marks at the A.A.U. meet.
This may be my last time to COM
pete for a long while, so I really
want to better my marks while I
can" Smith said.
Last week Smith cracked his own
20O-yard free-style record with a
CLICKING of 1889. During that eff
fort he was timed in So seconds
fiat for the first 100 yards, just one
second slower than Ford's world
record.
Other Smith records include: 200
meters in 2:06.1; and 220 yards in
2:07.1; 400 meters in 1885: $40
yards in the same 4:385; 800 meters
in $500; and $50 yards in 9:54.6.
Nakama taught Smith swimming
when both were youngsters on the
Honolulu beaches. Smiths father,
a policeman. began taking Bill to
the beaches when he was four and
as Bill grew older he became an ad-
mirer Of Nakama, Honolulu cham
pion, after Nakama went to Ohio
State. He induced Smith to 60
there.
Naturally I didn't feel so good
about beating Nakama at college
after he had helped me so much"
Smith said.
Smith is teaching boot trainees
at Great Lakes to pass the Navy
swimming requirements. This gives
him more opportunity to train than
when at Ohio State, where, he said,
II spent so much time studying and
working that I didn't have enough
time in the pool" He added that
now I'm getting stronger, and I'm
swimming better than ever"
