Pilot Is Doubtful About Fun With "A Barrel Of Monkeys"
New York—(UP) — Pilot Miguel Bragancia said today he knew what was less fun than a barrel of monkeys—a plane full of monkeys.
While flying a cargo plane loaded with 300 Rhesus monkeys from Calcutta, India, en route to Warm Springs, Ga., he said the primates picked the lock on their cages and made merry in the baggage compartment.
When the plane arrived at La Guardia field it took attendants several hours to round the monkeys up and put them back in their cages

Eagles Will Play Linwood
The University high school Eagles will meet Linwood tomorrow night at Robinson annex in a battle for third place in their last Tri-County league game of the season. The game will begin at 9:15 following a "B" team contest.
A victory would give Coach Grant Clothier's Eagles a final league record of five wins and five losses. Linwood edged the Eagles 32 to 20 in the first game of the season.
University High lost its chance for second place when it dropped a 34 to 35 overtime battle to Tonganoxie here Wednesday night. Lansing, one of the state's best Class B teams, leads the league with an unbeaten record.
The Eagles' record this season has been better than expected. Four members of the 1948 starting five were graduated, and also reserves who saw a lot of action and received letters. The team has lost five of its six non-league games, two by narrow margins, and two to Eudora, who ranks with Lansing as one of the best Class B teams in this part of the state.

THE SHOE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL FIT Naturalizer
SHOP Phone 259
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 10—(U.P.)The Big Seven conference, usually quick to raise a ruckus about eligibility, has accepted the return of "Controversial Clarence" Brannum to Kansas State college with astonishing calm.
More About 'Controversial Clarence'
Brannum stayed away from school during the first semester this season because, as the K-State public in formation office put it, he had to make a living for his wife and three daughters. State last week with two years of playing this one full year
Not a shot was fired as he returned to school, though this same Brannum last year was the fuse of one of the best blowups in recent years around the midland circuit.
Nobody ever did know exactly what all the shouting was about although other coaches and officials joined in almost as loudly as Coach "Phog" Allen who started it.
But last week he announced he was through with independent basketball as it is played at Joplin, Mo., and Peoria, Ill.
Brannum returned to Kansas

204 leaks in your pocketbook!
All those 204 white pins in this map are costing you money.
They mark the places where the Federal Government is in the electric business indirectly, through projects such as flood control and conservation.
The black pins mark additional Government electric power projects now planned or proposed. *There are 421 of them!*
Maybe you haven't known how far Government has gone into the electric business.
Perhaps you haven't realized that Government electric power costs you money and affects you directly.
It affects your pocketbook now. Hidden federal taxes on everything you buy and direct taxes on your wages help to pay for it.
The subject is very important right now because Congress is deciding whether Government can take the next big step—and go directly into the electric business, by building a giant fuel-burning power plant at New Johnsonville, Tennessee (marked by the big pin on the map above).
It could affect your job, too. It could affect the kind of country you'll live in and your children will grow up in.
You may think we're telling you this because we are selfish. Of course, we're selfish—enough to try to defend our business when it is threatened. This plant is a move that could destroy all the independent electric companies.
But it goes far beyond that.
Government sells electricity below its real cost in order to sell it "cheaper" than tax-paying companies can. The difference is made up out of taxes you pay. And you'd still have to pay that difference somehow if the Government took over all the electric companies. Unless Government raised all electric rates—but then Government electricity wouldn't be "cheaper."
If Government gets this new plant, it can easily socialize the entire electric industry. From that, it can easily move on to socialize other industries. That is what is happening in Europe today.
When Government becomes the only employer, where will your freedoms be, or your opportunities, or your chance to rebel against injustice or unfairness?
That's how much the New Johnsonville plant can mean to you. We hope you'll tell your representatives in Washington that you are interested, too.
