On the subject of summer bas-

this corner a majority of the Du-
quesne University hoop squad was
engaged intact as walters, bus
boys, and athletic directors last
summer by one of the Catskin re-
sorts. The boys played about six
teen games against top opposition
and picked up a lot of savvy and
experience. A few weeks ago
this club came to Madison Square
Garden and calmly proceeded to
knock off LIU. The same team
showed against the Blackbirds last
winter but was scared stiff, lacked
pOise and had the Garden filters.
One player, Charley Cooper, the
star of the Iron Dukes aggrega-
ton, frOze badly in the Garden,
last year, and consequently was
of little aid to his mates. However,
as result of his summer expert
ence, his association in combat
against many of LUIS players,
and his acquired pOise, big Coop
er came back recently and gave an
exhibition that ranked him with
the best center men of the cOun-
try. He controlled both boards and
scored seventeen points against
Clar Bees boys. 1t is our cOnten-
ton that the Catskills definitely
helped this boy. The referee who
worked the Garden game worked
many of the BOrscht circuit con-
tests so the Dukes felt completely
relaxed when they saw Lou Eisen-
stein take the floor to handle their
game. They knew they wouldn't
get any favOrs but they also knew
they wouldn't be "jObbed."
At any rate this association did
not hamper the Dukes and as one
of the boys told this corner after
the game, when I saw Lou take
the court 1 knew we were going
to get a good break on calls and
told the few boys who didn't know
Eisenstein that they could relax
and play their normal game"
Everything isn't as smooth as il
seems over at the Twentieth Cen
fury Sporting Club. 1t appears
that Sol Strauss is still resentful
over the fact that he was removed
from the promoters position and
replaced by Harry MarksOn.
Strauss has been bending Mike
Jacobs ears about the matter and
is repeatedly after MarksOn' scalp.
Harry is doing great job since
taking over and has the backing
of the writer's, to say nothing of
the approval of Ned Irish, Garden
major dome. If Jacobs and the
Garden should fall out for one rea-
son or another it is reasonable to
assume that MarksOn will take
over.

President Bugas OF the Ford Company

with perhaps a similar loss involved in

More than 100, 900 Ford production workers

To Rescue Reorganization

It is hard to believe that the same Cong
ress that Is Represented as being in an
economy mood" would mum its chances
OF making a lasting, monumental con-
tribution to the cause of governmental
economy. Yet, ironically, that strange
turn of affairs seems to be happening at
the Capitol For, unless Congress has
change Of heart about adjourning sine
die on July 81, all hope of economy
through reorganization this year OF the
executive establishment faded with con-
gressional adjournment over Memorial Day
The Senate and House bills to give the
President the green light on reorganization
under the Hoover Commission program
were reposing over the week end In con-
ference committee desk It Is said the
conferees are stalemated over the issue
of whether to. give the legislative branch
q one-house or two-house veto on presi-
Dental reorganization proposals. This
issue, raised by the Senate, should never
have been injected into the reorganization
legislation. Mr.. Hoover strongly favors
q normal concurrent veto by both houses
and so does everyone else who remembers
tIlc HullllylllS CACSt Va oAAc-Aoooe WV
in the past. Yet the Senate conferees are
reported to be holding out for this re-
organization frustrating arrangement
This deadlock has carried the conferees
up to the time limit for action under the
present congressional timetable. Under
both bills, the President must submit his
reorganization plans to Congress at least
sixty days before the end of continuous
session. Unless Congress should decide to
extend the session beyond July 81, there
will not be time enough left for congress
sional consideration Of any presidential
program at this sitting. The most alarming
aspect of this situation Is that the longer
Congress puts of action, the less likelihood
Of any effective action at all. Mr.. Hoover
is not alone in the belief that II nothing
Is done at this session, when Teorganiz-
alton has more support than ever before,
the prospect of accomplishing anything in
the future Is distressingly dim.
There Is one way that Congress could
rescue reorganization from such dismal
fate. 1t could insist on an early confer
ence agreement-preferably on the House
version Of the veto plan-and 1t could then
remain in session long enough beyond July
81 to insure action on the first Of the
Presidents reorganization proposals If
Congress is as earnest about economy as
its members profess to be, it will make q
supreme effort to launch the reorganiz-
alton program right now.

One-Armed Bondit Invasion

In preparation for the referendum on
Thursday by the people Of Prince Georges
County on the question of legalizing slot
machines, proponents are making some Of
the claims that were made not long ago
in other counties One of these relates
to the benefits, in cash, accruing to the
county government. In Prince Georges 1t
is being said now that legalized slot ma
chimes will reduce taxes and provide funds
for schools and better highways.
That has not been the experience else
where. In st. Marys County, anticipated
revenues have fallen short of the estimates
and taxes have gone up, not down, since
the machines were legalized. In Calvert
County the tax rate remains the same,
after almost year OF experiment The
counties have, of course, shared In the
profits of the 'one-armed bandits" But
in one of them, at least, the profit is re-
duced by necessity of putting an inspector
on the payroll to check up on the number
of machines that are holding up the Gus
toners by bootleg methods-that Is, with
out securing license.
Three of Maryland's southern counties
del was able to do it by act OF the Legis-
lature, Calvert and ST. Marys by referenda:
The Prince Georges referendum on Thurs
day will be followed by another one, June
21, in Charles County. We have the pros
pect of q solid block OF i've Southern
Maryland counties with legalized slot ma
chine gambling. The take" Is going to be
substantial. But the take OF the county
government is very small compared with
the take Of the owners and the lessees OF
the machines.
There is a large element Of substantial
citizens, joined by the clergy, fighting
what seems to be losing battle against
this invasion. The time may have come
when they would put up more convincing
case by dropping the moral issue OF slot
machine gambling and getting down to
brass tacks on whether these machines do
not channel more money out of the coun-
ties than they bring In. Some careful
research into this question might open the
eyes of the taxpayers as to the actual ball
ance-and with experience now being ac-
cumulated, the answer should not be hard
to hnd.
