12 other conference cage stars.
Among that number were Armand
Dixon and Harold McSpadden of the

Assistants Gone
Said W. W. Davis, chairman of the athletic board: "In my opinion the situation holds promise for as high quality of coaching as any university in America."
Eating Spree Is Real Reason For Shortage Of Food--Hendrickson
At that time Henry named as his assistants Vie Hurt, Mike Ghetto, and Henry Lansing. The last of that trio, Vie Hurt, earlier this year declined to ask for a renewal of his contract.
New York, (INS) — Americans have been on an "spree," Roy F. Hendrickson, chief of the food distribution administration, maintained yesterday, adding that this was the real reason for the food shortage.
He warned that the only solution was a government-specified diet with the balance of the available food going for war purposes.
"The time has passed." Henrickson told a group of advertising women, "when we could think of sending to the war the food that was needed, and getting along very well with what was left. Today we have to start with this question: Just what and how much mus we keep at home?"
Senator Says Davis Is Propagandizing
Washington, (INS) — The Office of War Information was under the attack of Senator Taft (R) of Ohio yesterday.
Taft declared that it is "both an abuse of power and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and to the abilities of our free press and radio workers" for Elmer Davis, OWI Director, to commandeer radio stations for "propaganda broadcasts."
Referring to the first of a series of radio reports which Davis made last Friday night, Taft said that the broadcast did not contain "one word" for which he could not have depended on the regular radio newscasters.
"If he will make the facts available to the newspapers and the radios with frankness and candor," Taft said, "they will make it unnecessary for him to take over the job.
"Americans do not take kindly to propaganda by their government."
Allotment for Lindley Hall Made By State Committee
Topeka, March 15, INS—The house ways and means committee has allotted $50,000 for furniture and equipment for the new mineral resources building, Lindley hall, at the University of Kansas. At the same time the committee added to the appropriation measure $34,000 for equipment for the new library building at Kansas State College, Emporia.
Washington, (INS) — Charles A. Halleck, representative from Indiana believes, "Destroy the newspapers, and, in effect, you make possible an Axis victory, a victory for ignorance and oppression in our assembly halls, in our schools, and in our homes, if not on the field of battle."
Newspapers Valuable.
Lewis Delivers Strict Demand On Miners' Wage
New York, (INS) — United Mine Workers President John L. Lewis declared yesterday afternoon that his 450,000 followers won't work without a contract after March 31st in the nation's soft coal fields whose output is vital to war industries.
His demand for a $2 a day wage boost—far in excess of that authorized under the government's "Little Steel" formula—rejected by both northern and southern bituminous operators, Lewis flatly told leaders of the former group that members of his union are "law-abiding" and added:
"The mine workers don't intend to break their record by trespassing on property in the absence of any negotiated agreement.
"It is a safe assumption that if the miners do not get their contract they will not trespass on your property the second day of April."
Meanwhile, H. C. Washington of Cabin Creek, W. Va., meeting with southern operators in a separate conference, echoed Lewis' declaration.
"The boys I represent told me to give you this message—no contract, no work," asserted the union leader.
The current contract expires on March 31 but April 1 is observed as a holiday by coal miners so the first working day following falls on April 2. Lewis' statement made it clear that he intends to adhere to the union policy of "no contract, no work" regardless of the need for soft coal by war industries.
The attack on the little steel wage formula was voiced by John Saxton of Norton, Va., president of district 28.
"We are sitting here quibbling over a matter of $2 a day which isn't anywhere near what the cost of living has risen," he said. "You operators are sitting there feeling you are safe in the little steel formula that wages cannot be increased more than 15 per cent.
"You're making an error, and a serious error, because labor must be recognized."
Missouri Ace Pilot Missing In Action Following Sea Battle
Somewhere in New Guinea, (INS)
—Two of America's ace fighter pilots were officially reported missing in action yesterday although their comrades knew for days that they had gone down gallantly in last week's battle with the Japanese in the Bismarck Sea.
One of the missing airmen is Captain Robert Thoreau of Cape Girardeau, Mo. The record of the two men was 11 enemy planes shot down and 20 additional probable victims.
Chicago, (INS)—The theory that some young men of draft age may be turning deliberately to crime to avoid military service was advanced yesterday by Chief Justice John A. Sbarboar of criminal court.
When five young men, charged with robbery and car theft, were brought before him, Justice Sbarbaro learned that two of them who had no previous records had committed their crimes three days after their induction.

Judge Says Draftees Are Breaking Laws To Escape Service
"Are you slackers?" the justice inquired as he sextened them to serve 1 to 10 years. "Are you trying to get to prison merely to avoid serving your country? I am at a loss to understand why so many young men of draft age, many first offenders, are coming into court as criminals."

Governor Says Oklahoma Wants Roosevelt Aqain
Oklahoma City, (INS) — Governor Robert S. Kerr, who also holds the position of national Democratic committeeman for Oklahoma, today was on record as favoring a fourth term for President Roosevelt.
Although Governor Kerr qualified his endorsement of the president for another term by saying he believed he would be selected again to head the nation's war effort, "if the nation is still at war," he predicted that the present world-wide conflict would not end for at least another two years.
"Every indication that I have seen leads me to believe that if the war is still going on, and if it is still being handled as it has been, is being, and I believe will be handled, President Roosevelt will be overwhelmingly endorsed for a fourth term by Democrats of Oklahoma," Governor Kerr said.
The fourth term question was brought up when the Governor was asked about his views along the line of Governor Sam Jones of Louisiana, who in a recent magazine article saw the South breaking away from the New Deal.
