PAGE TWO EDWARBSVILLE, INTELLIGENCER FRIDAY, PEBBTJABY 14, 1936 Party Leaders Develop Strategy for 1936 Presidential Command. Feb. 14--Shake-ups, in the high Republican command are taking place as party leaders develop their strategy for the 19 3 presidential campaign. Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican national committee gradually is drawing Into committee head quarters the lines which will control G.

O. P. activity this year. The young Republican movement which began as an Independent organization in 1032 and has been somewhat of a political naverick since that campaign Is now safely lodged at committee headquarters. The young Republican conference here a fortnight ago accepted Fletcher's candidate for national chairman.

He is J. Kenneth Bradley of Connecticut, who was named by Fletcher to direct young Republican ac tivities while the official organization the younger element still was debating whether to throw in with the committee or continue to go it alone. It is understood that young Republican finances, henceforth, will come largely from Fletcher's war chest. The few young Republicans who opposed amalgamation with the national committee were voted down easily In the meeting here. It is believed that John D.

M. Hamilton, Kansas national committeeman shortly will retire as assistant to Fletcher in organization work. No announcement has been made but some party leaders have concluded Hamilton probably will be drafted by GOT. Alt M. Landon to run the Kansas governor's pre-convention campaign.

Hamilton is a sure choice for party chairman if Landon is nominated. He was leader of the anti-Fletcher forces in Chicago in 1934 and almost beat him for chairmanship then. Arthur M. Curtis, Missouri national committeeman, was named this week to assist Fletcher in a capacity so nearly identical with that assigned to Hamilton that the latter's return to Kansa sappears more likely than not. Cnrtis was selected, partly, because there are no Republican presidential candidates in Missouri.

His presence at national headquarters would not give favorite sons from other states bad dreams of discrimination against their candidacies.

SPORT COSS1P BY IMA FAN McKJnley St. Ixnds Cbanapians.

Yesterday MdUnley won its second straight city basketball title by turning back Soldsn 86-31. They come to EdwarteHIle tonight with tbe undisputed championship of St. Louis Charles "Mickey" Russell won the league high scoring with points for Bis league games, which averages better than 14 points per game. Yesterday against Soldan he garnered 16 points. McKinley has four scorers, Russell, P.

Housman, W. Housman and Globig, listld in the "leading scorers" of St. Louis column. At on-e time in yesterday's game Soldan held a 10-0 lead and at another an 18-7 lead. However, this did not worry the McKinley Goldbugs a bit for the went on to win 36-31 The Tigers may never get the lead tonight, -but if they do, just bear in mind that in almost every sjame played this season, the Goldbugs have made a dazzling finish to win their games.

Reports about McKinley indicate that they really do have great ball team. They are fast, clever ball- handlers and above all, they can "hit." Perhaps this game tonight will outshine the original scheduled Oblong contest. Indeed, there will be plenty of color attached to it. McKinley is confident of victory. They would be greatly humiliated should the Tigers upset them, and according to McKinley boosters a Tiger victory -would indeed be an "upset." Regardless of the outcome of the game, a tough battle with a crack shooting team of this calibre is just the setting tor the Tigers and tbeir fans, right here at tournament time.

No doubt this game will be one of the speediest and most exciting of the season. I can't conceive cjf anything faster than Vandalia, but this team will be of a different type. Arkell Fischer, Lebanon coach, is nursing a severe case of mumps. Oblong was forced to cancel all remaining games and maybe the regional, due to the same epidemic. Mark Peterman describes the High- lnnl regional as one of the toughest, in the -nith southwestern Illinois teams hotbed of feood basketball." MrKinley Hiph of St.

Louis may be the best team in tonight's buttle, but I'll wager my last nickel (plus) a the Ticers i be the best look- Ing. I have a feeling that the Goldbugs will try to work through our defense for a while and just as soon as they find that difficult, they will open up a long-shot barrage, at which they are experts. Just how a fans will brave the disagreeable weather to see one of the most intei e.sting tames on the schedule? My guess will be that everybody who wants to see a great game will subject himself to a few minutes of cold in order to see 32 minutes of clean, exciting basketball. Come out and ce the Tigers bat- tlo the best that St. Louis has to offer.

CTitca-go, 'eFb. 14--For -tlKJBe -sfcep-i tics who claim has been lucky to remain undefeated in tbe, Big Ten basketball race, Geo. Gardner athletic director, today produced batch of statistics to prove the Boosters are deserving of lofty spot.

The scoffers base their contention dn tbe fact that in of their seven conference games the HoaEiers tiawe won by only three points or less. Minnesota, the critics -pointed out, is ninth In Che standings and Chicago Which was defeated by only three paints at Bloomington, hasn't won a conference "In all its games Indiana hag never been headed for more than a minute except in the very early stages of Bhe games," Gardner writes. "Maybe Indiana's ability to stay in front has something to do with Its record. "Add to this a knack for converging free throws. "Against Michigan, Indiana converted seven out of nine attempts; against Northwestern, 13 out -of Hi; against Chicago 11 out of 16; against Minnesota, 7 out of 13; against Wisconsin, 6 out ol 14 (it was a cold night); against Minnesota 8 out of 14; against Chicago out of 14.

Although the boys have converted 60 of 91 attempts, percentage of .659." Gardner pointed out that Indiana's attack has -been hard to stop because the scoring is so evenly divided. The forwards have made 27 points, the guards 72 and Fred Fechtman, center, 31. GOVERNOR RELEASES BELIEF COMMISSIONER Springfield, Feb. 14--Action of Gov. Henry Horncr in ousting Robert J.

Washington, Feb. 14--Criticism tlhe supreme court by friends ot the New Deal was reflected today "by more than 40 bills to curb or revise the court's power.

Bearing testimony to the adage' that when a congressman is angry he introduces a bill, house and senate bill rooms provide a gauge of the extent of the attacks directed at the court and its present powers. The speech of Sen. George W. Morris, emphasized the movement which began when the court handed down its first adverse New' Deal ruling. The majority of the measures have originated in the house which is taken by New Deal friends as a token of popular demand for changes in the court's methods.

On the other hand, Congress has many staunch defenders of the court and of its ruling on the New Deal. Some of the bills are based on historical ideas considered and rejected by the framert of the Constitution. Others are plainly uttered for political purposes without hope of being passed. The preponderance favor new laws curbing the court. The court might, if it desired, hold these laws unconstitutional, however, others suggest oontitutlonal amendments.

Most of the bills fall into one of four categories. They would: 1. Forbid the court to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. 2. Require that holdings ot unconstitutionality be unanimous or by a larger majority than that of five to four at present required.

3. Increase the size of the court, which would permit the possibility of "packing" the tribunal with judges favorable to the administration. 4. Require the court to give advisory opinions on the validity of a law before it became effective. COTTNTEEFEITING PLANT FOUND IN SAN QUENTIN San Feb.
