CLEVELAND, April 1l-Herb-
ert Hoover tonight proposed three
first steps" to "get the Federal
Government out of the business
of generating and distributing
power as soon as possible"
One of those steps, if followed,
might result in a new and diff
trent Hoover Commission"
The 78-year-old former Repub-
lican President declared that in
the field of Federal electric
power I'VE have an example of
20 years of creeping socialism. 4"
AS initial remedies, he urged
that Congress stop providing
money for plants "solely for
power" and stop appropriating
funds for multi-purpose projects
unless the electric power is
first leased" to private industry,
or to cities, States or State
managed regional authorities.
Would Create Commission.
His third proposal dealt with
the creation of commission. He
specified four functions it would
perform.
He said Congress, Jointly with
the President" should set up a
temporary commission on reor-
ganization of this whole Federal
venture"
He said hiSOplan would begin
the end of Federal bureaucratic
regional control of the States
and their people"
Hoover's proposals came in ar
address prepared for delivery al
the final session of a tWo-day
diamond jubilee convocation O.
Case Institute of Technology.
! Mr.. Hoover recalled that love
20 years ago I recommended t.
Congress the transformation O
an ex-officio commission into
Federal Power Commission, witt
regulations which had teeth il
them. The purpose was to con

growing in the private electro
utilities"

By Taft on Proposed
Treaty Amendment

Senate Majority Leader Taft
revealed yesterday he will try to
work out a compromise between
the Eisenhower administration
and a large group Of Senators
who want to write new curbs on
the treaty-making power into
the Constitution.
Senator Taft was one of 81
Senators, including 18 Demo-
Gratis, who joined in sponsoring

Administration Opposes.
Last week Secretary of State
Dulles and Attorney General
Brownell went before a Senate
judiciary subcommittee and put
the Eisenhower administration
on record against the proposal

hamper the Government in the
conduct of foreign policy.
AS Senate hearings ended yes
terday, Senator Taft told re-
porters he is still in favor of the
constitutional amendment, but
would like to study it to see if
changes are possible too meet
the objections.
Asked If he sees as much dan
ger in the resolution as Mr..
Dulles did in his testimony, Sen
ator Taft replied, mo. do not.
He added, however, it probably
could be amended.
FavOrs Action Soon.
Asked about an administra-
ton suggestion that the SUBJ
ject be put off for intensive
study, Senator Taft said he does
not quite see the necessity fol
putting these things off" fol-

If the Judiciary Committee re-
ports out the resolution. Senator
Taft said, it would be on the
Senate calendar land would be
one Of the things we would try
to get through" He indicated
however. that if Congress adj
journs during July. there could
be no assurance Of action.

The Romance Of
Benedict De Spinozo

The love affairs of the super
men of Israel, whose deeds and
dreams and memories have vivi-
fled Israel have, in nearly every
instance, been almost as turbu-
lent as their careers.
When the famous philosopher
Benedict de Spinoza at the age of
40 asked Klaartje Van den Ende,
the daughter of his lifelong
friend, to become his bride, she
answered after a FACILITATING sill
ence: "But thou art Jew" Upon
his reply that she was too broad
to let religion stand in the way,
she answered, 81 know, but
nevertheless women are not phil
osophers." With these words,
Spinoza knew that religion and a
woman's will obstinately stood
between him and happiness. His
own philosophy seemed to jeer
and mock him.

Thus intra-mural competition in foot
ball. BASKETBALL tennis or other sport is not
considered highly organized. The committee
felt that the failure of many midget sports
programs, in the highly competitive field,
was that they did not provide every boy
with a chance to compete to the best of his
ability even though he was not one Of the
best players in his particular community.
The committee also felt that the fun
damental goal in all midget recreational
programs should be the development Of the
qualities of good citizenship and the salts
faction of basic human needs, such as ac-
ceptance, adventure and recognition. and
also happiness.
Further. the committee feels that COM
petitive athletics should be only part of
the total community recreation program,
which should include activities like outdoor
living. games, music, drama and the arts
and crafts. This field is too often neglect
ed in favor of some highly organized and
highly competitive midget sport. 1t also
suggests that equal funds be allowed for the
recreation opportunities of girls, compared

Midget Sports

IN the last two years an interesting con-
troversy has arisen over the growth Of
midget sports in the United States. By
midget sports. we mean all organized sports
for youngsters twelve years Of age and un-
der.
In 1850, the National Recreation Asso-
citation Congress- set up committee from
the recreation field to formulate principles
Of guidance to be followed by community
recreation leaders.
This committee of twenty-three mem
bers met the next year and, in 1852 the
committee released number of conclusions
and suggested principles concerning highly
organized, competitive sports for young
sters twelve and under.
The committee found that sports for
those under twelve years of age should not
be highly organized, competitive athletics"
The committee considers any athletic ac-
tivity which involves considerable amount
Of leisure time of the youngsters spent in
formalized practice; or encourages large
scale attendance by adults; or is limited to
the best players, and involves selection of
winners on state, regional or national sche-
dulles, highly organized.
