Sing Sing Star
Good Grid Man;
May Become Pro
OSSHttNG, N. Y (A')—"Watch
Crtbbins!”
That's the word from Gerald Cur
tin, athletic directro of Sing Sing
prison.
Nlnl Crtbbins is the 33-year-old
halfback who is expected to become
another "Alabama Pitts” when the
football wars return to Ossining next
fall.
Until last season he had never
held a football in his hand, but great
natural ability and exceptional
speed gave him the call over more
experienced players.
The 170-pound - flash celebrated
his rise to the varsity by taking a
kick-off -and racing 96 yards for a
touchdown against the powerful
New Hochelle professionals.
He also shares the kicking assign
ments with Arthur Nelson, who al
ternates between end and quarter
back. '
Not only in football does Cribblns
hope to emulate Pitts. He is a base
bailer, playing center field, the po
sition Pitts himself held down be
fore "graduating.”
Cribblns' other distinctions in
clude his record in the dashes. He
is Sing Sing’s "fastest human."

Russo-Jap Fight
Nearing Climax
TOYKO, Japan, Jan. 34.—f/P)—
Numerous new frontier Incidents be
tween the Japanese advised state of
Manchukuo and Soviet-Influenced
Outer Mongolia drove the east Asian
border controversy toward an appar
ent climax today.
A Japanese news agency dispatch
from Hsinklng, capital of Manchu
kuo. said the recurring clashes
brought a vigorous protest from the
Manchukuoan foreign office oili
er Mongolia, considered by officials
as a virtual “final warning.”
The protest called for "immediate
and complete withdrawal of all Out
er Mongolian troops from Manchu
kuoan territory.”
MOSCOW. Jan. 34.—<>P>-The Rus
sian war commissariat organ, The
Red Star, today accused Japan of
preparing for military operations
against the 8oviet Union through
the encirclement of Outer Mongolia.
The newspaper said the Japanese,
by making Inner Mongolia « Japan
ese colony, commanded the principle
approaches to Outer Mongolia.
The Red Star said this movement
would put Japanese tr«*ps in a posi
tion to atterhpt cutting off Russia’s
far eastern army.
“Without Approval*’

bill In only three Important respects:
“It eliminates the issuance of un
secured paper currency to make the
payments required and substitutes
u. -cst bea.uig bonus, which, how
ever, may be converted into cash for
face value at any time; and it adds
>263,000,000 to the total payments by
forgiving interest after October 1,
1931 on amounts borrowed.
Same As Before
"In all other respects the circum
stances, arguments and facts remain
essentially the same as those fully
covered and explained my me only
eight months ago.”
One pertinent phrase from last
year’s veto message which Mr.
Roosevelt evidently had in mind to
day was:
“The credit of the United States i
Is safe but It cannot ultimately be
safe if we engage in a policy of
yielding to each and all of the
groups able to enforce upon the
congress claims for special consid
eration.”
White House aides said Mr. Roose
velt broke precedent of a quarter of
a century when he sent the mes
sage in his own handwriting. Up to
the time of the administration of
Theodore Roosevelt all messages to
congress were written in longhand
but none has gone to the Capitol
In longhand since then.
Congress Would
Curb High Court
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24—A move
ment to restrictr-by law—the su
preme court’s power to invalidate
acts of congress took shape Wednes
day in both branches of the na
tional legislature.
Encouraged by increasing talk of
such procedure in new deal circles
and an Indication that President
Roosevelt may have studied the
possibilities, leaders of the move
ment planned active campaigns.
Senator Pope, Democrat, Idaho,
said he would introduce a bill be
fore the end of the week and make
a speech on the subject as well, in,
addition to conferring with a num
ber of his colleagues.
In the house, Representative
Cross, Democrat, Texas and Rep
resentative Lewis, Democrat, Mary
land. have similar measures pend
ing. They are working together and
Cross said today he planned a “bat-,
tie if necessary” to bring the sub
ject to the floor. Representative i
Maverick, of Texas, said he and his
liberal group were ready to fall into
tine.

Best Cage Team
In World Is Said
To Be N. Y. Violet
By CHARLES GRUM1CH
NEW YORK—</p>—The city-bred
all-around athlete who was hailed
In 1920 as the "greatest basketball
player In the world" is steering the
Violets of New York University to
ward a shot at Olympic—and world
—supremacy on the maple courts.
Howard (Jake) Cann, pilot of the
perenially powerful basketball Vio
lets. is chary, as usual, about pre
dictions, but partisans of N. Y. U.
figure their courtsters will be
among the favorites in the collegi
ate elimination events leading up to
the Olympic tryout tournament here
in April.
Nineteen consecutive triumphs
stood behind the Cann-coached Vio
lets when they laid off competition
until February 5, taking their mid
season examination-time "breather.”
Headliners, at Madison Square
Garden s regular basketball pro
grams played before capacity audi
ences, the Violets this season have
bowled over such rivals as the Uni
versity of California, Dartmouth.
Purdue, Princeton, Fordham, Ken
tucky, Columbia and North Caro
lina.
Impressive Record.
In Cann’s regime as head coach,
dating back to the 1923 season, N.
Y. U. has won 139 games and lost
5T.
The Violets went through the
1933-34 campaign undefeated, win
ning 18 straight games, and they
were beaten but once last season on
a 20-game schedule. Their only con
queror in 1933 was Yale, which
broke their long string of victories
witt\a 33-29 triumph in overtime.
New York U. won the national A.
A. U. basketball title in 1920.

RALEIGH, Jan. 24.—Governor
Ehringhaus today designated J.
Dewey Dorsett as chairman of the
8tate Industrial commission to suc
ceed Harry McMullan, who will be
come assistant attorney general In
place of John W. Aiken, resigned.
Aiken, a native of Hickory, has
accepted an appointment as special

ant attorney general. Aiken has been
receiving $4,500, which will be Mc

elevation and Jumey’s appointment,
while Attorney General A. A. F.
Seawell made public Aiken’s resig
nation and the appointment of Mc
Mullan. The governor said Mc

“at the insistence of the attorney
general and with my full knowl
edge and happy consent.”
Jumey will be paid $4,320 yearly
and will represent the public on the
three-man Industrial commission.

boost In salary. He was appointed

dustry when the workmen’s com
pensation act became effective in
North Carolina in 1929. A native oi j
Chatham county, Dorsett was grad-!
uated from the University In 1922.!
He married Miss Minerva Jenkins of i
Siler City the day he received his
diploma.
Continuing his study of law after
Ms appointment to the industrial
commission, Dorsett received his li
cense to practice in 1932. He is a
former clerk of court of Chatham'
county and is a World war veteran.
MoMullan was born at Hertford
In 1884 and was educated in the
Public schools of Edenton and the1
University of North Carolina, re-1
eelving his law degree from the1
university in 1905. He represented I
the second district in the senate in
1929, and prior to his appointment
to the industrial commission was
connected with the revenue depart
ment as director of collections and
assessments.

1895, attended the public schools
there, and then went to Lenoir
Rhyne college and the University
of North Carolina. He represented
the 25th district in the senate In
1933, and became assistant attorney
