said the trooper had recovered six
sticks of dynamite repeatedly thrown
from the fleeing automobile.

the shots were fired at the bus, but
before State Trooper E. G.. Clinton
had been advised of the incident.
All three were identified by the
sheriff as former bus company en-
ployes. The sheriff said no charges
had been placed against the men.
The shooting incident came after

the face, but Mr.. Hewitt was
struck three times and knocked to
the ground by an unidentified man.

not to take a picture.

son, Miss, told police they had
been beaten by group Of about
Is men. One Of the victims was
hospitalized.

Bluffton Sportsmen, team made
up of Bluffton's American Legion
and the Bluffton college cage squads,
swept tournament honors against
some of Ohio's best independent out
fits, in the annual Rotary cage meet
held last week in Ada.
The Bluffton outfit clinched the
championship with a 40 to 36 win
over Lima Holy Name in the tourna-
ment finals last Saturday night,
after turning back three other
strong foes in previous contests.
In their first start, the Sports
men drubbed Findlay, go to 81;
their second game brought Al to
80 decision over Plain City; and in
the third tilt Ada was the victim
by score of 81 to 35.
In Lima Holy Name and Plain
City, the local outfit, sponsored by
the Bluffton Community Sports
mems club, met two of the best in
dependent teams in the state. Plain
City was bolstered by Ohio State
players, and the Holy Name outfit
has an envious record this year.
Since close of the regular basketball
season, Neil Schmidt, Pirate star,
has been one of the main cogs in
the Holy Name offense.
Against Findlay, the Bluffton
team nearly doubled the count with
individual scoring as follows: Russ
Gratz, a; ]. Hermann, 4; F. Herr
mann, IL; Bob Gratz, q; Raber, Is;
Rich Gratz, 2; Cotterman, 5; LEIGH
ty, s; Burkholder, A, and Howe, z.
In the Plain City tilt, scoring was:
Russ Gratz, 9; ]. Hermann, O; F.
Hermann, II; Bob Gratz, O.; Raber,
6; Cotterman, 0; Leiehty, O; Burk-
holder, ., and Howe, 0.
The tilt with Ada found scoring
as follows: Bob Gratz, 2; Russ

ting Il for the All Stars.

ing, the 5-Potatoes won from the

the few players showing up.
The Roster of the Olympics is as
follows: Bert Swank, Dan Mathews,
Harry Klay, Bill Stonehill, Joe Davis,

a thriller right from the start with
the Bugs coming out on top to give
the Tigers their End loss of the
second round by the score of 44-35
The Tigers had only 8 players
present, but they gave the Bugs all
they wanted.
The Tigers led at the end Of the
list quarter 7-6 and also led at the
half 1918. But the 3rd quarter
the Bugs took over. the lead 32-37
but still the Tigers were not thru

STEEL HOARDERS

The forthcoming Senate Small Business Committee hearings on the critical steel shortage will put the State. Department, Army and Navy on the spot.
 The Committee will reveal State as very open-handed in granting licenses for large-scale steel ex- ports abroad, and the two mili- tary services as hoarding huge quantities of unused steel.
 Before leaving Washington on his vacation, Senator Bob Taft sent the Committee a complaint from an Ohio manufacturer charg- ing the Army and Navy with hoarding over 500,O00 tons of steel
 The Committee hearings, under the Chairmanship of Senator Ed ward Martin (R-Pa), will bring a number of top steel executives to the witness stand for sharp ques- tioning.

Trend of Industry

There is worldwide tendency toward higher per tion has made substantial progress A comprehensive study made by the National Bureau of Economic Re- search shows that the highly agricultural regions of southern United States southeastern Europe China India Africa and Latin America incomes are less by a major proportion than in the industrialized regions of western Europe and northeastern United States.
 Commenting this universal tendency Louis H. Bean of the Bureau of the Budget said "The low per capita incomes of China and India it may be expected could be doubled by shifting than Is per cent of their labor force from food production to other pur suits, with efficient of human and natural resources additional shift of less than 10 per cent would treble them The low incomes of Bulgaria and Rumania could be doubled If less than 20 per cent of the labor directed into non-agricultural pursuits. The progress of indusriazaon is, of largely up to the countries concerned but it could be greatly speeded up by international cooperation in capital and managerial assistance. The large gains in income that would to the underindustrialzed countries and the accompanying increase in demand Tor goods and of other countries would almost any stable international circumstances spread out to benefit other countries
 i The National Bureau of Economic Research esti- mates that if 40 per cent of the worlds 800 900 900 gainfully employed persons were engaged in farming instead of the 60 cent at present the general gains in productivity and living standards would be enormous This would require the shifting of 150O00- 900 of the 900 900 persons agriculture strucve modern science exemplfied by diversified industry better living conditions for the aver age
