He explained he didn't l>elieve the situation warranted an increase. That reflet its Robinson's opinion that the deficit probably will be small enough to l>e cared for by tlie issue of treasury certificates. Watson’s position resembles that of Robinson also with respect to leadership. Beneath the surface there are indications of even greater Republican disapproval of Wat-on than of Democratic dislike of the Arkansan. Watson and other Republican leaders have flouted the president to increase drought relief funds. Watson opposes Mr. Hoover on the world court project. Under those circumstances, the capital heard with interest today that the so-called Republican young guard composed mostly of newcomers devoted to Hoover policies, had met again last night.

NATIONAL NET MEET TO STOP Chicago, Dec. 9. (U.R) —Decision of the University of Chicago to discontinue permanently the annual national interacholastic bua-[ keibal tournament today removed, rne of the sport world’s most col-1 orful pageants. The national interscholastic tournament was founded by Coach A. 1 A. Stagg in 1917 and except for a 1 lapse during tlie war years of 1918, and 1919. has been hqld annually every since. It developed into tlie classic of high school basketball and <ne of the greatest amateur athletic events in the country. Tito meet promoted sympathy between all sections of the country through athletes who compiled and was a factor in improving sportsmanship and standards of play. The trip to Chicago to compete against teams from ether sections was a high spot in tlie life if many boys escaping from the provincilaism of their own backyards for the first time. Heroes of the tournament have been legion and the history of the •ompetition is a saga of athletic achievement. I. xington. Kentucky's "Blue Devils," champions in 1922; the Carr Creek. Kentucky, team that came out of the foothills unheralded in 1928 to become a national sensation; the great Vien-i na. Georgia, quintet that made three strong bids for honors; the' Athens. Texas. "Hornets” that in 1929 and 1930 achieved the unparalleled feat cf twice winning the, national championship and the. Kansas City, Kansas, team that in 1 1923 gave probably the most brilliant performance ever made in winning the title, are only a few of the groups of school boys that! came from all corners of the country to win national fame at the tournament. During recent years the tournament has been subject to attacks by the National Federation of High School Athletic Associations, which pposed the holding of high school meets by colleges and universities. Coach Stagg, sponsor of the meet, declared that when he was •onv need high schools were opposed to the event he would with'.raw the competition. A committee of Chicago univers'ty professors, appointed to invesigate the desirabilty of continuing he tournament, investigated and •ecommended abandonment cf the tournament. In announcing discontinuance Os he competition, Coach Stagg said: 1 believe the tournament has done much to ci eate interest in basketball and to improve, the level of day nationally. It has made a distinct contribution jo developnents of standards of eligibility and sportsmanship and has been m important factor in developmnt of the National Federation >f State High School Athletic Associations. “There now seems to be a feeling that each state furnishes sufTcient stimulus and organization for proper conduct of basketball and that a national tournament is innecessary. The University of Chicago wishes to cooperate with 'he principals and superintendents of schools and therefore abandons its national interscholastic basketball tournament.” o Nominees Are Approved Washington, Dec. 9 —<U.R) —The senate finance committee today agreed to report favorably all six of President Hoover’s nominees to the tariff commission. Four, ineluding Chairman Henry P. Fletcher, Repn., Pa., were given unanimous support in the committee. * Two, however, received only a majority endorsement, with some committee members reserving the right to oppose them on the senate floor. They, were Alfred P Dennis, Dem., Md., and Edgar B. Brossard, Repn., Utah. o “Horsy” Term What Is known as a “Uanterhury trot" Is a gentle gallop, such ns Is supposed to have been used hy the pilgrims when going to the shrine of Thomas n Becket nt Canterbury o Keep on the Toe* The development of synthetic products us the result of almost magical achievements Is going on at sucli a rate that no Industry can afford to sit hack In snug satisfaction with Its own security.—Amer lean Magazine. .. o Uncl* Eben "Hard work must lie respected," said Uncle Eben. “Rut ft's got t» be admitted dm de pride of de family is de hoy dat Inid down de shovel amide hoe an’ got hlsself a payin' Job in a Jazz orchestra.”— Washington Star. o Development of Orange Tlie orange was originally a pein shaped fruit about the size of » cherry. o Deterve* Remembrance Blankets got their name from Thomas Blanket, of Bristol, England, who started a factory for their manufacture in 1340.

HURLEY URGES NEW WATERWAY .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)' Citing figures to ahow that manufacturing plants in the middle west had d'-creased from 55,968 in 1918 I to 37.147 in 1927, Hurley ascribed tills loss to th- inability of MissIss ppi valley preducts to compete 'wth the waterborne manufactures j of other sections. « "We have u farm problem In the ; great middle west and nothing ! could contribute more to th soln-1 1 tion of that problem than tlie building of industry in the midst of agriculture,” Hurley said. “To build Industry in the midst of agri-; culture, we must have cheaper rates from that great interior to | tlie seaboard. The only practical method of getting cheaper rates, fi r our bulk commodities is by tlie : development of tlie Mississippi riv-: ! er and its tributaries." Outlining the magnitude of the 1 government's present waterway de-1 velopnient program, Hurley said the 1929 appropriation was tlie greatest in history until that of 1930, $146,000,000, which surpassed I it. Projects now liefore the war <1 partment will cost $350,000,000 to complete, he said. Tlie water- I way program of President Hoover, j he added, envisages 9,000 miles of navigable rivers and canals. HOOVER SCORES MEMBERS WHO ATTEMPT SHIFT — iGOKTINUFT) FROM PAGE ONE) , desire of individuals to show that | they art more generous than even the leaders of their own parties. They are playing politics at the expense of human misery.” The president said his proposed acceleration of the government building program represents the maximum which the government own undertake without an increase in taxation. i To Increase taxes would deprive wi rkers, farmers and industry of the opportunity of giving employi ment, he maintained. Yet, congress, he said, has been importuned by many of its membtrs to launch upon projects which would increase the expenses of the I government $4,500,000,000 (billicn) a year "mostly under the guise of giving relief in one form or another.” Washington.
