Pupil Explains Origin
OF Injuries Among
High School Bows
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
BY Richard Nezcman, IS.

Coolidge High School.
Black eyes, sore legs and arms,
stiff joints and assorted scratches
and bruises are becoming common
place among the boys staggering
around Washington high school
halls.
The reason? Ranger exercises
and Commando basket ball! If you
have not had the pleasure of par
ticipating in or viewing these ses-
sions, a little explanation Is in
order.
Commando basket ball is basically
legalized murder. The class is di-
vided into two opposing mobs. The
idea Is for one team to sink as
many baskets as possible against
the other team, and vice versa. Thg.
is where resemblance to basket bali
ends and homicide begins. Methods
employed to shoot baskets are var
led, but everything goes. The game
continues until the 10-minute bell
rings, or the bodies are piled so
high on the floor that it is impos-
sible for players to travel across
the gym without tripping over mar
tyred teammates. The game is
combination of the worst character
istics, of basket ball, football, box
ing, wrestling and anything else
thought of during the course of
play.
Ranger exercises, a series OF the
wierdest positions imaginable, tend
to discourage faith in humanity.
Everybody rushes around the gym
initiating various animals in such
impossibiities as the duck walk ana
the kangaroo hop On completion
of the exercises the greatest phys
ical specimen has hard time walk
ing or even standing like a human
being.
Of course, there are some blood
thirsty games other than Com
mando basket ball, and some gruel-
ing exercises other than ranger, but
it is generally accepted that these
two lead their respective fields in
making their practitioners masses
of aching muscles.

spite sorrow and hardships, creating
to the end.
He must have loved to draw-any-
thing, everything. Through this
medium he attained volubility.
Lines and shapes were to him what
notes are to the musical composer
words to the novelist or poet. What
he saw he apparently jotted down
with ease and assurance, whether
it were a view of bridge, the por-
trait of a friend, or a prince or a
pauper, and in each instance he en-
dowed his drawing with life-char-
acter.
All that came to his mill was
grist, his relatives, people in the
market place, beggars, Biblical
characters, the tranquil landscape
of Holland that he so dearly loved.
Some of these may have been drawn
to serve in the future as studies,
but the large majority, it would
seem, were made for the sheer love
of the doing. How vital they are
what style they have! How skillful
was his handling of the crude reed
pen with which he so often worked!
His Output Vas Large ...
Because of Rembrandt's urge for
expression, love of his art, his out
put was very large-his known
drawings numbering, it is said, up
ward of 1000, his etchings 300 and
more, his paintings, perhaps, twice
as~many. Quite naturally this has
led to controversy. Students of his
art disagree, some claiming for
him many less and assigning all
those disputed to his pupils and
contemporaries. But surely it is
easier to believe in the possibility
of one Rembrandt, super talented,
than in 20 equally gifted and en-
dowed, living in the same little
country, at one time.
Rembrandt did have pupils and
was a good teacher, but there is no
authority for the supposition that
there was any rivalry between him
and them. Nor has any master of
his time in Holland done work
which actually ranks with that of
the master-such as "The Anatomy
Lesson" and "The Night Watch -
to say nothing of his magnificent
etchings. No imitator nor copyist
could so approximate the art OF
another, time and again. There
fore, why harry oneself with such
suspicious? The works speak for
themselves.

with rather dry brush. Her forms
are strongly simplified and occa-
sionally distorted.
Miss Burgess subject range is
extensive. She paints flowers, figures,
landscapes, the sea, animals and
street scenes. But they are exc
cuted IN a very personal manner,
apparently not for themselves, but
from the standpoint of the artists
reaction to them. Some of these
paintings seem to have been done
from the imagination, with no out
side inspiration. In this group are
The Enchanted Garden" Young
Astronomers" and yellow Forest" !"
which appear to have been painted
from the viewpoint of children.
"Hillyear Place" on the other
hand, gives the impression of hav-
Ing been painted while the artist
casts an occasional glance at the
street itself, connecting Twentieth
ana TWenty-f1rst streets, just off
Connecticut avenue. But it is doubt
ful whether the residents of Hillyer
place would recognize Miss Burgess
portrait OF 1t If it were not identified.
Her experiments with technique
produces some unexpected effects in
her paintings. One, for instance
entitled And So to Bed" depicting
a young woman standing before a
mirror in her attic bedroom. is
painted with streaks and flecks of
heaVy pigment, which give the
peaceful scene strangely feverish
atmosphere.
The most ingratiating work in the
group, in the writer's opinion, is one
entitled Tapestry" simple two
dlmensional representation of a
young girl with pure, lovely face
against a background of trees, in a
color scheme of green, blue and
golden brown. One may hope Miss
Burgess will further explore the
path opened by this painting.

Defense Hammers
|At Indictments Of
30 on Sedifion

Lawyers for the 80 defendants
charged in one indictment with
seditious conspiracy to set up q
Nazi government in the United
States were to continue their argu-
ments today attacking the indict-
ment before Chief Justice Edward c.
Eicher, in District Court.
MaXimillian St. George, counsel
for Joseph E. McWilliams, argued
yesterday that the court had no
jurisdiction over his client, because
it could not be demonstrated that
McWilliams had conspired in the
District.
Floyd Lanham, Chicago, CO.
counsel for Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling,
told Justice Eicher that the indict-.
ment was defective because in
effect it accused the defendants Of
two crimes although it only named
one.
Burroughs Protests.
j. Edward Burroughs, counsel for
Elmer j. Garner, protested that the
indictment referred to a plot born
in Germany in 1888 to set up Nazi
governments throughout the world,
though the law on which the indict-
ment rests was enacted June %,
1910.
The arguments on the demurrers
against the indictment are expected
to be the final step before the
beginning Of the trial of the 80
defendants. The trial probably will
open in March and may last two
months. John Rogge, special as
sistant attorney general, is the
prosecutor.
Mrs. Dilling, who carried in her
purse false mustache and a lapel
pin with the word, "Spy," attended
yesterdays proceedings, but few
other defendants were present at
court in the afternoon.
Counsel to Be Assigned.
Justice Eicher said yesterday
morning he would assign counsel
for Peter Stahrenberg, August
Klapprott, Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze
and Ellis o. Jones. Robert Noble
declined to accept counsel from
Justice Eicher pending a further
attempt by himself to find a law
yer.
Kunze, former leader of the
German-American Bund, wearing a
beard, told the court the only at
torney who understood his case was
Victor Keegan, who is in prison in
Minnesota. Justice Eicher refused
Kunze's request to arrange for Kee-
gan to represent him.
All the defendants have pleaded
not guilty. Their list includes:

Frankfurter AssaiIs
Colleagues Novel,
Basis for Decision
Sy the Associated Press.

=
The controversy among the Su.
preme Court justices continues.
Justice Frankfurter added fresh
fuel yesterday to the controversy
over the Interpretation of consti.
tutlonal law by asserting that hi!
colleagues were resorting "gratuit.
ously" to a wholly novel doctrine
OF constitutional law"
Those were virtually the same
words Justices Black and Murphy
used recently in criticising Justice
Frankfurter views on utility rate
making.
The latest tiff developed over the
courts decision that Federal bank.
ruptcy court, rather than State
courts, has exclusive power to fix
fees for attorneys who represented
in the State courts a corporation
undergoing reorganization under
the Federal Bankruptcy Act,
Justice Frankfurter agreed with
all the other justices that in this
particular case the bankruptcy
court should determine the fees, but
vehemently expressed opposition, in
a concurring opinion, to the grounds
which the Supreme Court cited for
Its finding.
Jersey Case Involved.
The case involved the reorganiza-
ton of the Reynolds Investing Co.
Inc, in the Federal District Court
for New Jersey. Three attorneys
acting for the debtor, and later for
trustees for the company, filed suit
in the New York courts to collect
certain claims. Before judgments
were returned the attorneys serv-
ices were discontinued. Thereupon
under New York State judiciary law
and in conformity with an arrange
ment in the reorganization pro-
ceeding, the three sued in the State
courts to obtain fees for their serv-
ices and were awarded 100000.
Justice Douglas opinion declared
that under chapter 10 of the Bank
ruptcy Act, Congress had conferred
paramount and exclusive" jurisdic-
ton on the bankruptcy court.
Where the reorganization super
sedes a prior proceeding in either
the Federal or State court, the bank
ruptcy court is the one which is
authorized to allow the reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in the
prior proceeding" the opinion said.
Frankfurter Dissemts.
But Justice Frankfurter asserted
that from the beginning Congress
had allowed federally created rights
to be enforced in State courts mot
only by the general implications of
our legal system but also by explicit
authorization"
He declared that the Constitution
does not give the Bankruptcy Act
supremacy over the right of States
to determine what shall be litigated
in their courts, and under what con-
ditions.
And certainly" he added, such a
wholly novel doctrine of constitu-
tional law should not be resorted to
gratuitously when the case before
us can be disposed of on the con-
elusive ground that the litigation
conducted in the New York courts
was conducted under an arrange
ment consonant with New York
