Basketball fans who missed either

local grocery store last Oct. 3
In payment for a bill of groce-

cleared a part of the signature
was obliterated and consequent-
ly could not be cashed.
Saturday Mrs. Wall was In
the store again, bought another
bill of groceries, and gave a
check. The clerk recognized the
handwriting as being the same
as that on the other check
which had been spoiled, so he
told Mrs. Wall about the incid-

Followers of the supreme court re-
organization battle saw today the
start of a carefully timed ad-
ministration move lor nationwide
support In Attorney General Hom-
er S. Cummings’ assertion that the
Roosevelt program was moderate
and constitutional.
This strategy, similar to that
of the opposition, would bring ex-
pressions from public figures at
definite intervals until public op-
inion has crystallzed.
The next step undu these tac-
tics will be a radio address tonight
by Senator Sherman Minton. Dem-
ocrat. of Indiana, favoring the
proposal to enlarge the supreme
court if members over 70 do not
retire.

Schedules were rearranged so
that a short talk to be broadcast

OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb 15-tAA
—The names of three Oklahomans
were mentioned frequently today
by state senators In discussions of
a successor to the late L. B. Sel-
man, highway commissioner
The three were John Coffey,
president of the state board of
agriculture. Dr. J. J. Rogers, sec-
retary of the state tax commis-
sion. and Walter Archibald. Durant
newspaper publisher.
One senator, who would not
permit use of his name, said Rog-
ers. former mayor of Frederick,
had been picked for the place by
some administration leaders and
waa looked upon favorably by How-
ard B. Drake. Governor E. W.
Marland’s patronage advisor.
Rogers Is a close friend of Cecil
Chamberlin, floor leader of the
senate. Another senator said he
had the same Information.
Other Changes Foreseen
Another senator from western
Oklahoma declared that a move
was underway to have Marland ap-
point Coffey as highway commis-
sioner and select either Senator
Homer Paul of Pauls Valley or his
brother. Haskell Paul, as president
of the agriculture board.
Other reports mentioned Archi-
bald as a possible selection for
highway commissioner.
Selman. appointed by Marland
early in January for a six-year
term, died Friday after an opera-
tion.
Both Drake and James C. Nance,
house floor leader, declined to
discuss the possible selection until
after funeral services are held to-
day for Selman.
Gentry Has Support
Meanwhile, friends of J. M.
Gentry, former commissioner, Enid,
who wa* replaced last month bv
Al Commons, Miami, rushed in to
engineer re-appointment of Gentry,
Gentry resigned at Marland's be-
hest whep senators told the gov-
ernor they would block his con-
firmation if his name were sent
up when his term expired early
this month. Then the senators
forced Marland to name Commuut
