Credentials. Fast gaining popularity with the A. F. of L. delegates as the convention entered its second week was a proposed boycott on Japanese-made goods, similar to the four-year-old A. F. of L. .boycott on German imports. President Charles P. Howard of the International Typographical Union even suggested a 30-day jail sentence for purchasers of Japanese products. Mr. Howard, who provided the convention's only excitement, was out of order in speaking up at all in Denver, for the reason that the convention refused to seat him.

...privileges to C. T. M. labor unions, permitting Catholic schools. The committee recommended that the Cedillo Government be ousted. Month ago Cardenas closed the Government aviation school in Potosi, ostensibly for economy, actually to remove a possible weapon from Cedillo. The old General countered with the purchase of six fast planes from the U. S., stored a few away on his ranch. Afraid to move against Cedillo because of his private army of over 10,000 men, the last in Mexico, Cardenas has placed encampments of Federal troops on the borders of the State, strung them along...

Owner of a fast motorboat, he charters it to big-game fishermen, also uses it for running contraband. At the book's outset he is seen in a Havana cafe considering and refusing another such shady proposition-this time on the part of three young Cuban revolutionaries, who want him to save their skins...

Heckel, Junior Varsity third baseman last year, should fit into the Varsity picture this pring. He is a steady, fast fielder but has heretofore proved pretty weak at the plate. If he can improve his hitting a place in the infield is waiting for him. Bob Fulton, Freshman catcher and captain, is a flery ball player and a potentially good hitter. He will have to work, however, for Eliot Bacon, Jayvee backstop, seems to be coming fast and by spring may really be in the running. Merrill, Freshman third sacker, is, like Heckel, another smart fielder...
