BASKETBALL HOPES

Hopes are running high in the Douglas basketball camp as six re- turning letter men and two reserves have returned to form the nucleus of the 1951-52 court squad. Senior Herb Riley, Juniors Tom Cashen, John Jensen, Pat Wellington, Rich ard Isaak, Soph Tony Mccormick are hold-overs along with reserves Bob Johnson and Henry Stevens. Several newcomers also show pro- mise.
 Left handed Tony Mccormick, at left forward, is again expected to do most of the scoring although right forward Tom Cashen may also develop into high pointer. Pivot man John Jensen, who tops foot 3 inches is rapidly becoming mainstay under the backboards along with guard Pat Wellington. Richard Isaak, smooth ball hand Ter is at the other guard post. Herb Riley, equally at home at either guard or forward, will undoubtedly work into a starting position after he has had more opportunity to practice.
 The Huskies meet the Alumni in their opener on the home court. November 21 and are expected to put up a good battle against the former Douglas stars. The alumni squad includes Lou Bennett and Curtis Bach who had a hand in defeating Juneau several years ago, and Prank and Harry Cashen who played with the University of Alaska several seasons.
 The majorettes and band will also make their 1851 debut during half- time.

U. S. Reyises
 indictment in Sale Of Surplus Plane

POCATELLO, Idaho, Nov. 13 - Special to the Empire) A re- vised indictment was filed in US. District Court here today against s. B. Simmons, of Juneau, and Silas King, aircraft broker of Portland, Ore, ccnti ming only charge of clepriving the United States of an alleged right to have a Grumman aircraft used for educational pur- poses which the Idaho State Edu- cation agency is alleged to have sold to Alaska Coastal Airlines.
 The previous indictment charged the defendants with conspiring to defraud by making false statement in the application of the state edu- cation agency.
 These charges were dismissed after defendants filed motions and briefs to strike portions of the indictment. It appears no conspiracy, to make false application that the property would be used for educational pur- poses, could have included Simmons and King as the application was made in June, 1949, eight months before they met the chairman of the state educational agency who signed the application.
 Defendants briefs cited legal de- cisions to the effect that such sur plus property became the property of the state of Idaho upon de- livery to the state of such property under the law in effect when the state received the plane as dona- ton for education use. The briefs cite law saying that the plane was not federal property four months later when Alaska Coastal Airlines bought the aircraft.
 Government attorneys were re- lieved of the necessity of arguing these matters when the grand jury dropped these charges. The re- maining legal question is whether the United States, after donating war surplus property for educational use, can prosecute the persons buy ing the property from the state on charges of conspiracy to defraud the government of a right to have such property used for educational pur- poses.
 The grand jury is still in session Investigating numerous sales of such property by the state of Idaho. The state used such sales to finance the cost of administering warehousing and distributing the remainder of it's war surplus allottments to edu- cational and other state agencies.

Whut Your Labor Will buv

The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently issued a
new study comparing u. S. workers food purchasing
power with that of workers in other countries. In only
one country, Australia, is less working time required than
in the u. S. to buy a given amount of food. In most cases,
the advantage in favor of the American worker is tremen-
dous. To take the most extreme example, an hours work
by an American will buy about seven times as much food
as an hours work by his Russian equivalent.
BIS also pointed out that between 1898 and the
spring of 1850, U. S. food prices less than doubled and
hourly earnings more than doubled-increasing the power
of American workers. earnings in terms of food at the
market by about II per cent.
Facts such as these may not take the sting out of
high prices, but they do show how far superior the A
merican earning power is to the rest of the world. That is
not true of food alone-other surveys and analyses, deal
ing with ~clothings, home appliances, and all manner of
consumer goods, have reached similar conclusions. The
average American, by comparison, is the most favored of
human beings.
This is one of the fruits of our magnificent pro-
ductive enterprise in agriculture and manufacturing in
dustry. It is also the result of our magnificent system OF
retail distribution a fact which should be remembered
now that the storekeeper is so often blamed for price in
creases which are totally beyond his control. Mass pro-
duction gives us more and better goods of all kinds. Mass
distribution, which the chain system pioneered and indie
pendents have adapted to their own use so effectively,
brings us those goods at the lowest possible cost.
