of badly needed cheap power; but
did pass the Reed-Bulwinkle bill ex-
empting railroads from antitrust ac-
tions. This latter measure puts those
same wheat farmers at the tender
mercies of the rail monopoly on rate
fixing.
The house did pass by overwhelm-
ing majorities bills making a federal
erwise, and the Mundt-Nixon bill to
curb the civil liberties of all Ameri
cans, but both houses refused to APP
prove legislation protecting the civil
rights of minorities, against lynching,
or out-lawing the poll tax.
Billions for Murder-Not a Penny
for Homes
The house refused to have anything
to do with the ft-Ellender-Wag
housing act to provide low cost homes
for veterans and other Americans, but
both houses fell all over themselves to
appropriate over a billion dollars to
provide guns and munitions to MUIR
.derously corrupt and reactionary gov
ernments of Greece, Turkey and
China.
Both bodies cut to pittance ap-
preparations for such things as school
lunch programs to provide at least
one decent meal per day for under
nourished American kids; refused to
appropriate a reasonable amount for
removing inequalities in educational
opportunities in the various states
| but-neither .hesitated in appropriat
| ing $6.3 billions to stop the spread
!, of communism in Europe. This is
particularly inconsistent. The con-
gress although showing a Hooverian
determination on the home front to
fertilize the ground in which the seeds
of communism terminate fastest, yet.
okehed going half way round the
world to protect" other nations from
the "red virus" 1t doesn't make
sense.
More Inconsistency
The congress refused to consider
Senator Murray's prepaid medicine
plan" on the false cry that it was
"un-American" and yet, both bodies
gave thunderous approval to a 1925
year draft law-something which in
peacetime is as foreign and contrary
to our traditions as the much damned
"one-party'' system practised in Eur
ope and much of the world for the
past score or so of years.
The congress passed a measure
social security taxes at l
per cent and refused to increase bene-
fit schedules, but, in line with it's
retrogressive outlook on all social

Citadel In Process Of Rebuilding
Cridiron Machine After War Lavoff

Charleston, S. G., Sept IS
(AP)- Football at the Citadel
is in the rebuilding process in
more ways than one.
The new johnson Hagood Me
mortal Stadium will be dedicated
in the Dec. 4 finale against
Clemson. BY that time head
coach Quinn Decker hopes to
have a strong ball club "a sophie
more and junior dominated ag-
gregation, that will be ready to
step up several notches in
Southern Conference rankings.
With the experience under
fire during the season just ahead
and the relniorcements of some
better than average freshmen,
1o49 could be the best Bulldog
season since 1912 when five
games out of seven were taken.
The military school discon-
tinued the sport for three war
years and in its last two years
compiled 3-5 records. Decker
looks for some improvement
this fall, with the big push next
year.
Six SophomOres
At least half a dozen sophie
mores figure to be in the start
ing lineup off the form they We
displayed in recent demonstra-
tions of Decker's modified Ten

Pinckney is being pushed by

who was the best frosh ball car

with his generalship, looks like

Steadying these youngsters
will be junior fullback Wadere
Shahid, who has given the Cita-
del some of its finest punting in
history during the past two
years.
Back of them will be still
other sophomore backs who have
shown promise. They include
Arnold Bellini, Bob Boyd, Bob
Cunning and Al Bohlen.
Two juniors will start at end,
Gene FoxWorth for the third
year. His running mate will be
Jack Pickard, a fullback last
season.
Bright Star
One of the brightest stars Of
the team is expected to be
| tackle Jim Whelan of Charles

, West man on the squad, Whelan
was outstanding year ago.

Hope Of Co+chine
Boston Braves

New York, Sept. 16 APP
Biny Meyer, the realist, would
like nothing better than to pull
the upset of the year by winning
the National League pennant,
but the astute Pittsburgh pilot
doesn't believe any team will
catch the runaway Bost on
Braves now.
THE schedule is very much in
their favor, and with Johnny
Sain and Warren SPAIN pitching
every other day like they've
been doing, l don't see how my
club or any other team can
catch the Braves" he said.
Boston has only Is games left
TO play, most of them at home"
he went on. Except for four
games with Cincinnati at Forbes
Field, we play all our remaining
games on the road.
Then too, we simply don't
have the pitching depth needed
TO make up that five-game de-
ficit. My staff is tired and over
worked Those doubleheaders in
recent days haven't helped eth

veterans like Fritz Ostermueller

II never kidded myself. I

said. Il said before, and l re-
