Jacob (Jake) Gimbel, whose sportsmanship award was a highlight of the annual state basketball tournament, is dead. ] The former Vincennes merchant died Thursday in Santa Monica, .. Cal, and in compliance with a proviso in his will there were no funeral "services and the body was cremated yesterday. Only a few weeks ago, Mr. Gimbel had written to Arthur L.

The award stood second only in
" public interest to the outcome of
the titular tilt. It was conceived at the time when Vincennes annually was producing contenders for the state champiogship. Mr. Gimbel spent some time in a Martinsville sanatarium and noticed there, $0, the great interest of basketball ans.

Both later played basketball for Purdue, Mr. Gimbel also presented annual athletic awards at Indiana university where he was given an honorary degree in 1933. He. also gave financial assistance to youths to attend the state university and other colleges and universities.
Born in Vincennes
Mr. Gimbel was born in Vincennes and for many years was connected with the Gimbel & Bond department store there. He was a cousin of Bernard Gimbel, head of Gimbel Brothers in New York. He devoted much of his philanthropic activity to the city of his birth. He organized the: “dollar savings bank plan” for the poor boys of Vincennes. He financed the Gimbel expedition to South America in 1910 in which the, rivers of British Guiana were explored by scientists. He was 66, unmarried and had lived in Santa Monica for many

“I am against any changes whatsoever in the present athletic setup. The I. H. S. A. A. is wholly voluntary, entirely legal and there has never been a breath of scandal in its long existence,” he said. “If and when charges are filed against Arthur L. Trester (I. H. S. A. A. commissioner) and. are substantiated by courts of law, then and only then will it be time for the legislature to take action.” . Senator Higgs charged that the extensive amendment to the bill, submitted by proponents of the measure and approved by the senate yesterday, paves the’ way for state control of the independent athletic association. The amendment, submitted by Senator Clyde R. Black (R. Logansport) would leave the present system of election of the 25-man council controlling the I. H. S. A. A. as it is at present except that it would require that 10 members be coaches, 10 high school principals and five school superintendents.

The Canadian agriculture department has obtained power to pay subsidies to farmers, something simlar to Claude Wickard’s plan for a 100 million dollar subsidy program in this country. Production of some war ma_teriel, ells for example, is being slowed but production of shipping ‘and protection for ships (such as cor- : vettes) is being Mr.’ Budrow stepped up. / Post-war plans are not forgotten. Shipbuilders wonder if they can manage to hold on after the war so Canada can have a fleet of her own. The aircraft industry, not a small one by any means, also hopes to become a peace-time industry. Canada’s rationing includes sugar, tea, coffee, butter, gasoline, tires and railroad watches; and meat is being considered, U. S. and Canadian officials have found a close co-ordina-tion of rationing between the two countries is necessary. #" » ”

Times Special PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 2—Rec-ord-breaking ship production is being accompanied by recordbreaking housing construction in the shipyard areas of the Pacific Northwest. Ships are now being built in the Portland-Vancouver yards within ‘a few days, and homes to. house ‘the shipbuilders are being erected within a few hours. Hundreds of new living quarters are being provided daily under the enormous program of the federal public housing authority on both banks of the Columbia river—in Portland, Ore. and Vancouver, Wash. This is the scene
of our test war housing activity of all time, One of the projects—called Vanport—is being rushed to completion especially for the workers in Kaiser shipyards and is the largest singie housing development the world has ever known. It will be second in size, only to Portland, in all Oregon. It is located north of Portland on the banks of the Columbia and covers 647 acres. A total of 182 service buildings for heat, laundry, storage, etc., are required for this project. Vanport is not the only Pacific coast housing project. There are 35 other separate projects under

the moving expense for the men who are changing their homes to make their maximum contribution to ‘the food for victory program. ‘Beck said the land vacated in southern Indiana will be farmed by neighbors of those leaving it, allowing them to rise ‘above the subsistance level.

'Free’ Sterling Market Ended
NEW YORK, Feb. 2 (U. P.).—The “free” pound sterling market will be virtually eliminated today when a new British treasury ruling becomes effective, placing all sterling accounts held by U. S. residents into a single type of account,” The practice of carrying regis-
tered, sterling area and. free ac-
counts for various purposes will be discontinued and replaced by the single system of registered accounts. These new accounts may be opened in the names of individuals as well as banks and corporations. ~ With the new accounts will go a British treasury guarantee of convertibility into U,.S. dollars at the rate of $4.02% to the pound. , Actual effect on' the foreign ex-] change market here is expected to] be negligible, since the use of free sterling has been narrowed in recent months,
