WILL UNCLE SAM STRIKE HIM OUT ? - BABE RUTH TO CONTEST INJUNCTION New York. ? Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey announced Its Intention to oppose the appli cation ot the Secretary of the In terior for an injunction to restrain It from carrying out its radio con tract with Babe Ruth, who has enrolled over 500,000 youngsters in his Babe Ruth Boys Club con ducted over the air. "This suit," officials ot the com pany explained, " Is understood to be based on the theory that in offering of the prizes to the boys in the form of baseballs, fielder's mitts, and trips to training camp violates rules 16 and 17 of the Code of Fair Competition tor the petroleum industry. "Rules 16 and 17 do not pre sent a new limitation on the marketing of petroleum products. These rules have been in exis tence for our years, and since 1929 have been part of a codc approved by the Federal Trado Commission. They were devised and intended to prepent the prac tice ot selling petroleum products below the open posted prices. It is regrettable that the govern ment's Interpretation of these probtsions should lead It to at tempt to interfere with the pro ject in which the prizes are offer ed not as a price concession or in any way in connection with sa!es, but in pursuance of a legitimate advertising program." It should be clearly understood, as emphasized In the radio an nouncements, that participation ittpthe contest involves no obliga tion whatsoever to make any pur chases from the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and its affiliates, the Standard Oil Com pany of Pennsylvania, the Stand ard Oil Company of Louisiana and the Colonial Beacon Oil Com pany. The company 18 supporting; the Code and endeavoring scrupulous ly to observe it in letter and in spirit." Babe Ruth and his Boys Club have been broadcasting since Jan uary 3 for the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey and its af filiated operating companies. The program is 'built around the Boys {Club idea and offers prizes each week of 200 baseballs and 100 flelders' mitts to club members. In addition, Ruth plans to take Ofty youngsters to his Spring tralnfcg camp as awards itn a prim contest. When reached today Ruth ex pressed surprise that the Govern ment would even attempt to in terfere with any effort to build an Interest in sports. "I've got half a million kids in my club now," he explained. "I can't let them down. These kids belteve In me and In my club and I've got to carry this thing along. Kids are writing me from alt over the country and I can't see why the Government wants to stoj our radio program Jost because we're giving the kids a few prises to keep them interested In the club." Coincidence Irate Golfer: Tou mast be the worst caddie In the wbrld. Caddie: Hardly. That wouM be too much of a coincidence. Nethiag to uglier than an ugly toot. ' GET SIGHT OF F.D.R. PUUIS Far Ahead Glimpse Into Program Is Offered; Will Ask Fund Washington, Jan. 17. ? Con gress bad a far-abead glimpse in to the administration legislative program today while setting out to dispatch the business more Im mediately at hand, the extraor dinary monetary bill. 'Vs Rejoicing that it was given jur isdiction, the house coinage com mittee put aside its dollar stabil ization hearing to polish the Roosevelt dollar bill. Senatorial doubters, meanwhile, had white house word that President Roose velt obtained an affirmative opin ion from Attorney General Cum mings on the constitutionality of his plan -for the federal govern ment to take-over all monetary gold before he put it into a rec ommendation for the legislation. There also fluttered to the cap itol from the other end- of Penn sylvania avenue the news that the promised request for over $1,000 000,000 cf additional recovery program funds for this year will be along soon. Trailing behind' a few weeks will be what Mr. Roosevelt has to say on stock ex change regulation, war debts, tar iff reciprocity powers, railroad and general transportation questions and more government agency con solidation. To Finance CWA Out of the added money to be spent between now and June the civil works administration will be financed. Senate committee banking and air mail investigations attracted many auditors there: while the house, busying itself with the In terior department appropriations, had little out of the ordinary to offer. Possibility of a banking committee contest against the Coinage committee there for jur isdiction over the 50-60-percent gold dollar bill provided one long chance for fireworks, however. Chairman Smith of the senate agriculture committee laid plani to introduce a bill to prohibit government cotton crop predic tions, which he Insists do not truly reflect the crop's condition and which "disturb" the market. Congressmen, their interests being as varied and full as those of the many-sided sections elect ing them, found in downtown de velopments more material for re flection, Including: Allot .Millions The PWA Continued to allot millions for job-making construc tion, setting aside almost $8,000, 000 for 53 non-federal projects In 23 states. It became apparent that the administration will make no efforC to extend the life of the Hawes Cuttlng Philllppine Independence bill, which expires today, but it .will bold the opinion that this legislation can always be revised. Meanwhile, Independence for the Philippines within two or three years, providing the United States grants ten years' preferen-^ tial trade .relations after inde pendence, was proposed to the President by the Quezon delega tion from the island. As an alternative, it suggested, a flat grant of independence on July 4, 1940, with present trade relations between the two coun tries to continue until then. No License "Mlstuh Johnson. I has discov ered I can get yo' yo' divorce on de (rounds dat yo' marriage ain't legal, on account of b?r father, he had no license to carry a gun." j ? Judge.
