Some of the alleged insiders around Jacobs Beach (49th St. in New York City will tell you that the college basketball situation probe has not yet reached a point where they have even scratched the sur face.

STAR PLAYER
 NOT STUDENT,
 FACULTY PROBE

New York, March i2--(Up).-May- or F. H. LaGuardia called the Brooklyn College faculty on the carpet today to explain how star basketball player, Larry Pearlstein, one of five dismissed from school for accepting bribe, could play there more than a year without enrolling as a student.
 LaGuardia made the sensational revelation in his weekly radio broad- cast yesterday in which he charged the college officials with ''laxity, indifference and negligence bor- dering on the unpardonable."
 Commissioner of investigation Ed- gar Bromberger, who reported the Pearlstein incident to the mayor siad that the college should tender public apologies to the Intercolleg- fate Athletic Association in which it competes, the schools 1t played, game officials and opposing play CTS
 The college also must insist iffl- mediately upon n reversal of all iFi- tercollegiate games wherein 1t was the winner during the time PearI- stein was player" Bromberger said.
 Re.Opened
 Bromberger, conducting an inves- tigation apart from the hearing in progress in Kings County Brook lyn) court, gave Brooklyn College 6 clean bill of health in an earlier report in which he involved only the five guilty players. He reopened the investigation. however, when pr. Harry D. Gideonse, president of the college, advised him that Pearlstein never had been q student.
 After LaGuardia's broadcast, Pearlstein was summoned before Assistant District Attorney Charles N Cohen. Cohen said that the youth explained he had gotten textbooks from the college library and carried them with him about the campus but that he never used them.
 T don't know why they did not become aware that was not Q student" Pearlstein said. T told nobody anything and asked no ques- tions."
 Walked In
 Gideonse said he had learned about the first week in February" that Pearlstein had never registered for enrolment. The youth came out of the Army on Dec. l9, 1943 and sought to enroll in the college in 1914 Failing in an entrance exam ination, he obtained the books and reported for the basketball team anyway, Bromberger said He played four games at the end of 1044 sea- son and was n regular during the current campaign, playing in every game until the bribery scheme wae revealed late in January.
 Pearlstein gives his ardent desire to play basketball as the reason for his course of conduct" Brombergef said. He denies that anyone sug- gested or induced him to associate himself with the Brooklyn team"

Congress. Some who are still
there have simply forgotten.
Rep. Frank Keefe of Wis
consin, a lawyer and veteran
member of the House appropri-
ations committee, has just rem
dered a distinct public service
by taking a striking fragment
of this amazing story TO the
floor of the House.
Those who are interested in
pursuing the subject in detail
should read Mr.. Keefe's state
ment in the Congressional
Record of Feb. 20 since ii is too
long to be reproduced here.
II is an almost unbelievable
tale of how, in the language of
Mr.. Keefe, hundreds of millions
of dollars arc flowing out of the
u. S. treasury through the me-
-dium of some 40 or so state
chartered government corpora
tions, which Congress has not
specifically authorized"

'It could ultimately lose the
entire $S, ,999, ,900, 900 ?" qHefied
Mr.. Keefe.
THAT Is right" replied Mr..
Bell, "and the deficits would

In other words, if Congress

A MONG the offices that
"A Henry Wallace would con-
troll il he were confirmed as
secretary of commerce would
be the national bureau of stand
ards.
This bureau was established in
1901 and its conception is ex-
cellent.
However, there is one little
jigger in this business that can
be used to destroy all our
commercial practices, that can
reduce our newspapers and
magazines 10 government SUBJ
sidized rags after the fashion of
Owl bulletins, that can Kill off
the radio, and that can, and
without difficulty, reduce pri-
vate enterprise to a noncom-
petitive, government chartered
distributive agency. 1t all has
TO do with trademarks and la
beling.
THE leaders of the movement
Il for the abolition of trade
marks and the substitution of
the bureau of standards grade
lab S, were Donald Mont
gomery, Robert Brady and
Arthur Kallet.
For some years, these men
and others sought to eliminate
the trademark altogether.
AS that would also eliminate
newspaper, magazine and radio
advertising, il would force upon
the American people a govern
ment subsidized press, for a
free press can only exist upon
the revenues of objective, i'm
personal advertising.
Donald Montgomery was ap-
pointed assistant TO the con-
sumers counsel Of the AAA in
the department of agriculture in
1895 by Henry Wallace. In
time, Wallace made him chief of
that department. He set up the
Consumers Emergency Council
which was lated called the Con-
sumerS National Federation.
Arthur Kallet, director OF
consumers union, was also one
of the organizers.
The Consumers National Fed
Grafton held meetings at the
Hotel Pennsylvania on March s
and z, 1887. at which Henry A.
Wallace and Arthur Kallet were
the featured speakers.
Robert Brady who was re-
moved from OPA after accusa-
