tournament as we said it would. Britain, except that we lose all This is also to announce that in January, 1961, we will select Shortridge to win its first city championship. 2 8 = AFTER WAITING since 1924, Tech regained the city title and verified a lot of whispers that Coach Bayne Freeman has had power and punch all along inside those Green and White suits. Tech’s season results tell a story of a gradual rise, climaxed just a week ago when the Big Green shut out Logansport for a full 16 minutes. Tech was loaded for Shortridge when the two came together Saturday afternoon. Tech has height and used it to snuff the usually strong rebound game of the North Siders. In their earlier meeting, yowll remember, Shortridge opened large gaps in the Green defenses at the last minute for a victory. The Greenclads picketed their goal more effectively this time, leaving Shortridge nothing to do but toss from the outskirts. When the Blue Devils realized they couldn’t get a bead on these, they knew they were sunk. Howe was as gallant Against Tech Saturday evening as it had been against Manual at tea-time, but Tech was over the hump and hard to brake. Roy Hurley's three field goals and a pair of gift throws shot Tech into an 11-4 quarter lead, and the’ Greenclads continued to climb in the second period. Howe staged a semblance of a rebellion in the third period, yet never came within striking distance of the Green. Bob Collins, hero of Howe's victory march over Manual, was limited to seven points by Tech defenders, while Carl Barnes scored eight. Hurley got an even dozen, his second of the day. :

FOREWARNED is forearmed, they say, so we're telling cityfolk

now that Decatur Central is going: i

to be one of the most unruly guests at the sectional. The Hawks are the tallest basketball bunch outside the city. limits and one of the heaviest. Of the first five, three are threeyear veterans and two are secondyear men. In 14 games, the Hawks have lost only to Lapel, ‘Greenwood and Central of Ft. Wayne. Decatur found the going fairly easy in the county tournament. The Hawks defeated Ben Davis by 18 points, Beech Grove by 11 and Franklin Township by 12 in the titular game. . In Saturday’s two games Bill Butler, Kenny Moore and Bob Lollar racked up most of the Hawk points. Butler gathered 17, Butler 32 and Lollar 19, altogether h52 of the 75 points Decatur made.

of Warships to British; Will Power Be Used?

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS United Press Foreign News Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 20—In all the 150 years since the inauguration" of George Washington, no American President has ever assumed office under such a menac-

cast its shadow over the induction

lof President Roosevelt today. The specter of early involvement

ocean war did little toward making che outlook more cheerful. The President himself has characterized the gravity of this moment as unprecedented in the history of the Union, while his War and Navy Secretaries warn that the crisis may burst upon the world within 60 or 90 days. Small wonder then that Congress seemed strangely preoccupied today. Every member with whom I spoke had his mind on something else than the inauguration. Without exception, their conversation veered to the lend-lease bill, hearings on which were interrupted to make way for the swearing in.

Confusion Remains

Oddly, too, these hearings which were intended to clarify the issue seem to be breeding rather than dispelling . confusion. And there seems to be a growing uneasiness. This seems to be due'to what is regarded as conflicting testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, some of the witnesses indicating that the transfer of American warships is really not involved, while insisting at the same hme that the bill be passed as draft-

® he impression seems to be intensifying, therefore, that American warships will be found doing business in the war zones if Britain needs them. And few doubt that she will. If we are not going to aid Britain by lending her some of our war vessels, many are arguing, the quick passage of the lend-lease bill is unnecessary. At present, they say, the United States is doing everything possible. Every available plane, gun, tank and merchant ship is being turned over to Britain. Even if the bill could be passed within 24 hours, it would not make the slightest difference to her so far as the next four or five months are concerned.

Warship Transfer Is Issue

Furthermore, it is asked, if the transfer of warships is not involved, why should Administration spokesmen insist so emphatically upon retaining the clauses which so clearly give the President the right of transfer? Sec. 2 of the bill states that the term “defense article” as used in

{the measure means “any weapon,

munition, aircraft, vessel or boat.” And Sec. 3 declares that, “not-

Text of Inaugural Address

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (U. P.).—The text of President Roosevelt's inaugural

address: On each national day of inauguration since 1789, the people have renewed their sense of dedication to the United States. In. Washington's day the task of the people was to create and weld together a nation. In. Lincoln’ day, the task of the people was to preserve that nation frorn disruption within, In this day, the task of the people is to save that nation and its institutions from disruption from without. To us there has come a time, in the midst of swift happenings, to pause for a moment and take stock—to recall what our place in history has been, and to rediscover what we are and what we may be. If we do not, we risk the real peril of inaction, Lives of nations are determined not (by the count of years, but by the lifetime of the human spirit. The life of a man is three-score years and ten: A little more, a little less. The life of a nation is the fullness of the measure of its will to live.

CITES FRUITFUL YEARS

There are men who doubt this. There are men who believe that democracy, as a form of Government and a frame of life, is limited or ‘measured by a kind of mystical and artificial fate—that, for some unexplained reason, tyranny and slavery have become the surging wave of the future—and that freedom is an ebbing tide. But we Americans know that this is not true. Eight years ago, when the life of this republic seemed frozen by a fatalistic terror, we proved that this

withstanding the provisions of any other law,” the President may au-

or any other department or agency of the Government “to sell, transfer, exchange, lease or otherwise dispose of . any defense article” to any country “whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the United States.” These and related sections of the bill are coming to be regarded as the heart of the issue. Within 60 or 90 days, Secretaries Stimson and Knox have testified, Britain faces the possibility of the gravest crisis in her history. Did Framers See Crisis? If and when this crisis comes, it is asked, will the United States stand by and see Britain beaten when by the use of the United States fleet she might be saved? In such a contingency, it is observed, the sale, transfer, exchange, loan or what have you of American warships to Britain might prove to be the one and-only way this country could give her more immedjate aid and few members of Congress seriously believe the President would refrain from using his power to the full,

that it was some such contingency as this that the framers had in mind when they drafted the bill. For, they say, the financing of aid to Britain short of some such situation - wo require no such blanket hoy ers as the bill conveys.

For they have brought to us greater security and, I hope, a better understanding that life’s ideals are to be measured in other than material things. Most vital to our present and our future is this experience of a democracy which successfully: survived crisis at home; put away many evil things; built new structures on enduring lines; and, through it all, maintained the fact of its demecracy.

STRESSES FAITH IN AMERICA

And a mation, like a person, has something deeper, something more

Permanent, something larger than

the sum of all its parts. It is that something which matters most to its future—which calls forth the most sacred guarding of its present. It is a thing for which we find it difficult—even impossible—to hit upon a single, simple word. And yet we all understand what it is—the - spirit—the faith of America. It is the product of centuries. It was born in the multitudes of those who came from many lands—some of high degree, but mostly plain people—who sought here, early and late, to find freedom more freely. The democratic aspiration is no mere recent phase in human history. It permeated the ancient life of early peoples. It blazed anew in the Middle Ages. It was written in Magna Charta. In the Americas its impact has been irresistible. America has been the New World in all tongues, to all peoples, not because this continent was a new-found land, but because all those who came here believed they could create upon this continent a new life—a life that should be new in freedom. Its vitality was written into our own Mayflower Compact, into the Declaration{ of Independence, into the Constitution of the United States, into the Gettysburg Address. Those who first came here to carry out the longings of their spirit, and the millions who followed, and the stock that sprang from them— all have moved forward constantly and consistently toward an ideal which in itself has gained stature and clarity with each generation.

resources and the capacity of the land. But it is not enough to achieve these purposes alone. It is not enough to clothe and feed the body of this nation, and instruct and inform its mind. For there is also the spirit. And of the three, the greatest is the spirit. Without the body and the mind, as all men know, the nation could not live. S.But if the spirit of America were killed, even though the nation's body and. mind, ‘constructed in an alien world, lived on, the America we know would have perished. That spirit—that faith—speaks to us in our daily lives in ways often unnoticed, because they seem so obvious. It speaks to us here in the capital of the nation. It speaks to us through the processes of governing in the sovereignties of 48 states. It speaks to.us in our counties, in our cities, in our. towns, and in our villages. It speaks to us from the other nations ‘of the’ hemisphere, and from those across thé seas—the enslaved, as well as the free. Sometimes we fail to hear or heed these voices of freedom, because to us the privilege of our freedom is such an old, old story.

RECALLS INAUGURAL OF 1789

The destiny of America was proclaimed in words of prophecy cpoken by our first President in his first inaugural in 1789—words almost directed, it would seem, to this year of 1941: “The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of Government are justly considered . .. deeply .. . finally, staked

on the experiment intrusted to the hands of the American people.” If we lose that sacred fire—if we let it be smothered with doubt and fear—then we shall reject the destiny which Washington strove so valiantly and so triumphantly to establish. The preservation of the spirit and faith of the nation

does, and will, furnish the highest justification of every sacrifice that we may make in the cause of na< tional defense, In the face of great perils never before encountered, our strong pur= . pose is to protect and to perpetuate the integrity of democracy. For this we muster the spirit of § America, and the faith of America. ‘We do not retreat. We are not content to stand still.
