Three players were ejected from the Longhorn- - Cougar contest, among which were Packy Fenn and Snellon Johnson, who were forced to leave the game when the second half was three minutes old, with five fouls. Larmie Bird was the Longhorn who had five fouls called by the officials. Shooting by tne cougars and the Longhorns was off considerably, which coupled with playing in the cracker-bo- x gym at Altamont, made the contest rather a dull affair. High scorer in the game was Dee Farnsworth for the Longhorns who collected 13. He was followed by David Hislop with 11. Ken Anderton and Fenn with 10, and Norman Hanson with 9 led the Cougar scoring. The Union B team won a 49-3- 6 game from the little Longhorns. Uintah Was Hot The Utes were a really hot ball club as thirteen players scored a total of 80 points with Valoy Eaton leading the parade with 21. They held Tabby to four points the first half while they were scoring 47. Last Fridays games wound up the regular scheduled games for Union.

B. H. Stringham and Francis McKinley, representing the Ute tribe. . . The bill was defeated earlier in the session by the House, but revived Monday and passed Tuesday by the Senate. . . In his plea to the Senate membership Mr. McKinley emphasized that he and his associates were not advocating liquor for the Indians, but were asking for equality with other citizens in seeking repeal of the long standing law in Utah. He was emphatic in his beliefs that the Ute tribe would not allow the sale of liquor on the reservation. THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS in neighboring states in Indians can cross the line into Colorado and buy who of local case there is the Then bootleggers any quantities. have had a pretty good thing fleecing an Indian for a bottle of liquor. . .

Its size is Inexcusable and its timing outrageous. There are a million and a half federal employees in the lower brackets who deserve a raise but who have so far received little attention from Congress. Moreover, Congress accords itself special treatment Conflict of interest laws, which apply to federal officials, do not apply to the nations lawmakers at all. If Charles E. Wilson had gone into the House or Senate, instead of into President Eisenhowers Cabinet, he could have retained his General Motors stock. It seems elementary that lawmakers, who are zealous in insisting that others divest themselves of financial holdings or business connections, should .be just as circumspect about their own affairs. But such is not the case. Representatives and Senators can continue to do business at the old stand while serving on Capitol Hill. Congress is a law unto itself.

Back in tfe, the yenr end of the session, the 42nd Congress raised its salary (from $5,000 to $7,500) retroactive to the beginning of the session two years before. This gave each member a $5,000 bonus and the country seethed with indignation over the back pay steaL" Many lawmakers found it advisable to refuse the money, or' to return it if they had already taken it, and the, 43rd Congress promptly repealed the whole thing.
