MR. GEARHART. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to unanimous consent granted by the House, I am including in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD some verses entitled, "Prophecy for Peace," which are so exalted and majestic as to be worthy of publication everywhere. These inspiring words were written by my friend, James Patrick McGovem, of the District of Columbia bar, a captain in the A.E.F. during the First World War, whose poem on the war effort, inserted by me in the RECORD of September 17, 1943, has also appeared in recent issues of The American Legion Magazine, THE STAFF The Stars and Stripes, and other patriotic publications of Nation­ wide circulation.

By Jim Begem Plans have been completed by the Physical Education department for the basketball program this winter with two civilian leagues in operation. Both the regular Inter-hall league and the Overflow league will have the basket­ ball court of the Rockne Memorial as the scene of their games. The Overflow leag^ue will open its schedule during the week of December 20 while the Inter­ hall circuit will swing into operation during the week of December 27. Twelve teams are entered in the Over­ flow league and many practice games have already been played by these teams in order to learn the comparative strength of the teams. This league will have an earlier starting date than the other league because the teams select their o^vn men, while tryouts were nec­ essary for the Inter-haU league.
