recent victory of Gregory I Mangin in the National Indoor -» Tennis Championship further complicates the already complicat-! ed Dav iv Cup situation. Even with ■ the American representatives vir- < tuaily decided upon, the tentative; selections being Ellsworth Vines, national champion and ranking No. 1 man; and Francis Shields, in the s.ngle-, and G. orge M Lott and John Van llyn in the double*, it i-> difficult to see how Mangtn can now be ignored. Last year Mangin was overlooked in the team -election’, but: d.- pite that he went abroad and played at Wimbledon in the hope that his play there might bring about a change m the team makeup He ha<l played excellently in the team trials here, but failed to continue his form at Wimbledon where he was quickly eliminated.; probably much to the relief of th’American tennis officials.

HOGG WARNS OF WEALTH POWER Congressman Says Two Groups Will Own Half of U. S. In 10 Years (Special to Daily Democrat) Washington. I). (’..

Purchasing power cannot be restored under such conditions. Ranks nre«tj guarantee deposits,” said Mr. Hogg. In discussing the present situa-| tion Congressman Hogg said: "To attack the rich because they ; are rich and to assail capital because it is capital is one thing, but to insist that those who are in a position to influence the entire trend of social affairs that they: shall operate in accordance with' just means and honest principles. is the supreme question before the! American people today, "The man of vast wealth is not, in possession of it to deal with it as he chooses, regardless of benefit or the welfare of society. "The god of gold is enthroned on too many hilltops in America. Clean living, virtue, and excellence in achievements are far secondary in the minds of too many lovers of luxury.
