Giants Worry Less
Over Flag Rivals
Than Own Future
Bill f erry
After long hours o watching prac-
tice and conversing with the Giants,
i am forced to report that even
though the Southern heat has taken
the aches away from the wlnter-
softened muscles, the athletes are
far from happy. Definitely, they
are devoting much of their time to
worrying about what is going to
happen to them this season.
The National league champions—
the Haslins, Meltons and Chiozzas
who recently have come into our
midst, as well as the old reliable
pennant-winning Otts. Hubbells and
Moores—know they have a pretty
fair ball club. Many of them feel
that Pittsburgh probably is the best
club in the league, but they are not
unduly perturbed by thoughts of the
Pirates. Accidents and a long-con-
tinued inability to maintain a cham-
pionship pace again will eliminate
.Pie Traynor's hopefuls, they be-
ilieve.
Similarly, the Cards are not such
-bogeymen as newspaper reports
would have you understand. Any
-Giant will admit that Dizzy Dean
Is one of the greatest pitchers
•Of all time; that Durocher is a su-
perb shortstop, and that Medwick
Is lops among outfielders. But—just
as they feet that the Cubs have not
strengthened sufficiently and that
the Reds will have a nuisance rath-
er than a pennant-winning value—
the Giants are not fretting about
their St. Louis brethren.
What really concerns them is
their own estate. Given breaks such
as they received in
1936, Bill Terry and
the boys are sure
they can triumph
again. Their worry
is that such breaks
may not be repeat-
ed. vVhile worrying,
they might wonder
if a little added
strength here and
there might not
ease them of their
burdens. Let us con-
s i d e r the case.
Three of the five catthers warrant
little immediate consideration. Jim
Sheehan, who gives promise of real
hitting prowess some day, is far too
inexperienced even for third string
duty now. Madjeski and Spencer
merely are third-stringers. That
leaves Mancuso and Danning.
Probably—although Mancuso nev-
«r was fast and his thirty-one years
have not Improved hts siting flogs—
that Is enough. Danning, a shrewd
young man who can hit, has been
with the Giants most of the time
since 1931. This is his make-or-
break season.
Johnny McCarthy, tossed around
for several seasons by the Dodgers
and Yankees, has had most of the
first base call. It is unlikely that
he will continue there. Leslie does
not field like a Terry or even a Mc-
Carthy. But Sam is a steady work-
man, and an abdominal operation
has restored his health. He can
hit, and the Giants need power too
much to pass him by. That means
first base will be conducted in
good, reliable fashion.
So also will be second base and
sihortstop. Whitehead is a very good
fielder and team player. Probably
he is not quite as good a hitter as
his .278 average last vear indicates.
But, placed properly in the batting
order, he will not weaken the at-
tack. Barlell—even though occa-
sionally given to making plays the
hard way—is a good shortstop.
Third base is a problem. Lou
Chiozza. Mickey Haslin and Tommy
Thevenow have been working out
there, but it is unlikely that Mickey
and Tommy are being considered
fqr anything save utility roles. That
means Chiozza, placed in Joe
Moore’s old leadoff spot in the flrst-
game lineups is considered the reg-
ular at the moment.
Possibly Lou—a fair fielder and
hitter with the Phillies—will con-
tinue there. A slender, alert, pre-
maturely gray, twenty-six-year-old
man who lives in Terry's own Mem-
phis. he is in somewhat of a spot
now, though. As in all the years of
Terry's management, the Giants
must depend this season on superb
pitching, a tight defense and the
best possible use of their hits.
Moore is as good a leadotf man
ms there is In baseball. He is on
base frequently. Possibly his sharp
hits will do the Giants as much
good if he bats In the fourth or
fifth position. Possibly—because
this seems likely to be his last sea-
son at the Polo Grounds—it is time
to develop a new IcadofT man. There
remains the question whether there
will be anybody on base when he
cornel to bat along with Ott, Leiber
mad Leslie, the only power boys.

forgotten New Jersey snndlot days.
They concerned the Giants' pitching
problems and whut Travis Jackson |
might do with the new farm across
tne river this season.
Then there were answers. “Yeah,
Mae was along. She liked this place
pretty much and she deserved a va-
cation. No, the kids hadn't come.
One of them was in school and there
wasn't much sense In breaking up
the routiuc of the others just for a
couple of weeks down here. He’d
bring them back some swell pres-
ents though and he'd bet they liked
that." Would, asked the reporter,
any of them be as swell as the
‘‘turtle” he brought home two Junes
ago?
Jim Braddock grinned. When he
was preparing to fight Max Baer
for that mysterious
thing called the
heavyweight title,
the three little Brad-
docks could not
quite understand all
those big new words
so suddenly come
into the family vo-
cabulary. They in-
sisted that their
daddy was going out i
to get them a "tur- ti-
tle."
When he finally
arrived home with the title they
were disappointed, perhaps foresee-
ing far better than others how emp-
ty a thing a championship is unless
properly administered. So, being
a wise and fond father, he had to go
out and buy them a real live turtle
as actual, visual evidence of good
faith. The turtle is going well.
The title—?—Jim Braddock's grin
slowly faded when the reporter men-
tioned it. He was not exactly em-
barrassed. The champion is too
honest and well meaning to be
swayed from his poise of simple
dignity when alone. But new years
make new friends and divide the
best of loyalties. Perhaps while he
answered Jim was thinking of those
two Junes ago when- only one New
York reporter had faith enough to
remain in his camp, shout his
praises and bet on him while later
were yelping about 1,000 to 1 shots.
"Yeah, he felt swell. Later he
would go up in the Wisconsin woods
and rough it for a few weeks. Then
he’d be ready. What? Sure, he’d
had trouble with his hand last year.
Arthritis, right here. Look.’

Jim Braddock
Super Fighter of 1936
Looks Like Sucker JNow
There was no comment while the
reporter mentioned law suits,
broken contracts, the chances of the
public paying any kind of dough for
two drab heavyweight championship
airairsin one season and such things.
Then another question brought a
grin and animate response. "Yeah,
the super-fighter of last year did
look like the sucker fighter now.
Yeah, that Schmeling would be a
harder guy to lick. He didn't lead
to you and he was cute. Hard to
hit and hit pretty hard. Had the old
experience that was what It was.
“Yeab, Louis was a counter fight-
er, too. But you could kid him Into
making leads and going haywire.
Look at him against Schmeling
and Pfistor, strictly a one-track guy
that Louts. When you got him off
the track, well he - - Bandages?
Let him have all he wanted. It was
the tape that really counted. Be-
sides a guy with big hands really
needed more bandages than-.”
There was a polite pause while
the reporter mentioned that Louis'
hands were woefully small and soft
foi a heavyweight, scarcely two-
thirds as large as those of Brad-
dock and by no means as calloused.
This was a point that the cham-
pion evidently never had previously ,
considered.
Just as evidently, though, it was
a point '.hat did not interest him. 1
That could mean he realty does not
expect to fight the nueh feared
"Brown Bomber" or does not expect
to get bit if be docs. Perhaps he is
right about the not getting bit part.
When he said it just after the Louig-
Carnera spectacle I believed him, '
wrote it and got a few thousand re-
buking letters in return.
Now — well, this correspondent
still thinks Louis is the most over-
rated fighter of the era. He also
hates to spoil the memory of a
pleasant sunshiny morning's conver-
sation with one of the world's most
genuine guys.
But—no matter what has hap-
pened mentally, the Braddock who
fights this summer will not be phys-
ically the same Braddock who
wrested that “turtle” from Baer.
a sensation by sending to the senate
judiciary committee a letter declar-
ing that an increase
in the number of Su
preme court jus-
tices, as proposed
by President Roose-
velt, “would not pro-
mote the efficiency
of the court." He
added:
"It is believed that
it would impair that
efficiency so long as
the court acts as a
unit.
"There would be
more judges to hear,
more judges to confer, more judges
to discuss, more judges to be con-
vinced and to decide. The present
number of justices is thought to be
large enough so far as the prompt,
adequate and efficient conduct of
tl e work of the court is concerned."
Mr. Hughes said hi^ letter was
approved by Justices Van Devanter
ar.d Brandeis. He made it clear
that he was commenting on an in-
crease from the standpoint of ef-
ficiency and "apart from any ques-
tion of policy," which he said, "I do
not discuss."
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana. Democrat, was the first
opposition witness called before the
committee, and he started in by
reading Mr. Hughes' letter. Be-
fore entering the committee room
he said he believed the adminis-
tration would eventually accept a
compromise plan. He advocates a
constitutional amendment, permit-
ting congress, by two-thirds ma-
jority, to override Supreme court in-
validation of acts of congress, pro-
vided a national election had in-
tervened between invalidation and
overriding.
"The administration will compro-
mise, don’t worry," Wheeler said.
"They can't get more than thirty-
five senate votes for the President's
plan. Public opinion, which swerved
toward them for a while, is now
swinging heavily against them."
Edward S. Corwin, professor of
constitutional law at Princeton, was
heard by the senate committee in
support of the President's bill and
he got along very nicely until Sen-
ator Burke, leader of the opposition,
called his attention to a speech the
professor made a year ago and a
book he wrote 25 years ago, in both
of which he expressed views quite
different from those he seemingly
now holds. Then Senator Tom Con-
nally took a hand in the questioning:
“Now you say the court is biased.
You want to add six new justices
who will be biased in the other di-
rection, don't you?”
Professor Corwin evaded a direct
answer for some time, but Senator
Connally demanded to know whether
he did not support the President's
plan for this purpose.
"Well, that is one of the reasons,"
the jvitness said.
The American Federation of La-
bor, like its opponent, the C. I. O.,
has favored the President's court
plan, though rather mildly, but
President William Green, when he
appeared before the senate commit-
tee, was even less emphatic in his
approval of it. He denied that the
court as r.ow constituted "has as-
sumed dictatorial power or that its
members have not the mental ca-
pacity or the necessary learning."
Governor Murphy had declared
that constituted authority must be
obeyed, but he explained his failure
to act promptly by saying that
"blind adherence to a legalistic phil-
osophy will surely lead to eventual
frustration of the democratic ideul
of true freedom.”
The committee named by the gov-
ernor to devise ways of disposing
of future labor disputes was busy
formulaling legislation; and Mr.
Murphy held frequent consultations
with James F. Dewey, federal con-
ciliator. Also he was in communi-
cation with Washington.

Sen.Robinson
Sitdown Strikes Debated
by the Senate
^ENATORS indulged in an indig-
^ nant debate concerning the sit-
down strike and there were de-
mands for a congressional investi-
gation of this new
weapon of labor.
Majority Leader
Joe Robinson said:
"Manifestly the sit-
down strike is un-
lawful. It is not
within the rights of
any individual or
group of individuals
to seize or retain
possession of prop-
erty to the exclusion
of the employer for
the purpose of enforcing demands
against the employer.”
However, he added, it was diffi-
cult for the federal government to
do anything in the matter until the-
Supreme court has passed on the
validity of the Wagner-Connery
labor relations act.
Senator Van Nuys of Indiana,
Democrat, and others protested
against this seeming effort to place
on the Supreme court the blame
for the epidemic of sitdown strikes.
Senator Johnson of California
gave a "general warning" that the
sit-down strike is the most ominous
thing in our national life today, bad
for the government and in the long
run worse for labor.
The Democratic senate whip. Sen-
ator James Hamilton Lewis of Illi-
nois, vehemently criticized sit-down
tactics of labor and demanded in-
vestigation by congress. "Is the
United States a government?” Lew-
is asked. • "Every form of com-
merce is being torn apart under
the name of controversy between
employer and employee, leading to
the danger cf national riots.”
Pope Accuses Germany of
,Violating the Concordat
D OPE PIUS XI, in a strong papal
* letter to the Catholic congrega-
tions of Germany, accused the Nazi
government of violating the concor-
dat with the Vatican which wns con-
cluded in July, 1933, and of foster-
ing anti-Chrlstlnn movements. If the
terms of the concordat were not
"kopl, said the pope, "that Is not
the fault of the church. The otner
side made unfair interpretation of
the concordat, evaded its provi-
sions. undermined its content, and
finally more or less openly violated
its stipulations and the unwritten
luw governing Its actions."
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hiller’s news-
paper Voelkischer Beobachler, in
an editorial Interpreted as an an
swer to the pastoral letter, implied
the concordat might be cancelled by
the reich.
"At the conclusion of the concord-
at, the state could not know how
the church would later interpret its
provisions,” said the newspaper, de
daring that "even an agreement
with the holy see has not sacro-
sanct, untouchable and etcrnul val-
ue."

Detroit Is Threatened
With General Strike
D ECAUSE the Detroit police, di-
AA rected by Mayor Frank Couzens
and Police Commissioner Fickert
put an end to a number of the
smaller sitdown
strikes in that city
by raiding and ar-
resting the strikers,
Homer Martin,
president of the
United Automobile
Workers, threatened
to call a general
strike in all the auto
plants there except
those of General
Motors.
“I don’t believe
Mr. Martin would
be so unwise as to call out on gen-
eral strike men who have just been
through six years of suffering due
to depression and loss of work,"
Mayor Couzens said. "It would
be unfortunate for him to do so.”
The mayor added that the police
would continue to evict strikers
from plants and stores held by oth-
ers than employees at the places.
The eight Chrysler plants were
still held by the sitdowners, and
everyone was waiting anxiously for
Gov. Frank Murphy to determine
what action the state government
would take to enforce the law. Evic-
tion and arrest of the strikers had
been ordered by Circuit Judge
Campbell, whose order to get out
was defied by the workers, but the
sheriff said he couldn't act further
until he was given a sufficient force
of deputies.
Amelia Earhart’s Flight
Stopped by Crack-Up
A MELIA EARHART'S globe-en-
circling flight ended, for the
present, at Honolulu when she
cracked up her $80,000 "laboratory
plane" at the take-
off for Howland is-
land. By quick
thinking and action
she saved her life
and those of Capt.
Harry Manning and
Fred J. Noonan, her
navigators, but the
plane wns so badly
damaged that it had
to be shipped back
to the Los Angeles
factory for repairs.
The daring aviatrix
sailed immediately for San Francis-
co, asserting that she would resume
the flight as soon as possible.
As the big plane rushed down the
runway for the take-off it swayed
badly, the right tire burst and the
ship went out of control. The left
undercarriage buckled and the left
wing slashed into the ground. The
ship then spun to the right, crashed
down on its right wing, and the right
motor snapped off the right wheel.
Miss Earhart quickly cut the igni-
tion switches, so there was no fire,
and no one was injured.
The first leg of the flight, from
Oakland to Honolulu, had been
marie successfully and in record
time, but an inspection revealed
that the propeller bearings of the
plane were almost dry when she
landed. A motor expert there said
Miss Earhart might have been
forced down between Honolulu and
Howland island had this not been
discovered.
School Disaster Cause
Not Yet Certain
CEVERAL investigations into the
^ terrible explosion that destroyed
the fine London Community school
in east Texas and killed nearly 500
pupils and teachers were under
way. but at this writing the cause
of the disaster has not been deter-
mined. The most plausible theory
was formed when D. L. Clark, field
foreman for the near-by Parade Oil
company, testified that the school
had been using "wet” gas from the
pipe lines of the company. This is
a residue gas rich in butane, a high-
ly explosive compound of carbon
and hydrogen, and it is considered
too dangerous for home use. Clark
said he first learneri the school was
using the gas when he was notified
that Superintendent W. C. Shaw of
the school wanted it shut off. School
employees said the change from
"dry” to "wet”’ gas was made
only a month ago on order of the
school board chairman. That gen-
tleman said the company knew of
the use of the gas.
Information elicited from wit-
nesses indicated definitely that the
ciMshing explosion in the school
house had its origin in the air space
between the floor of the one-story
wing of the structure and the
ground.
John Murrell, one time Army foot-
ball player and all-American full
back, now an oil engineer, described
what he saw after the explosion.
He said many bodies were blown
into the yard and that most of the
victims were blasted out of their
shoes. He noticed no burns.
About 740 children and 38 teachers
were in the building at the time and
nearly all who were not killed out-
right were injured. Of the latter
was believed many would not re
cover.

Treasury Objects to the
Railway Pension Plan

A i
plan
man-
meet
agreed upon by railroad
agement arid labor doesn't
with the approval of the Treasury
department, which says its tuxes on
employers and employees are too
low to meet pension outlays. If the
income fails to level up with outgo,
say treasury officials, the. differ-
ence would come out of general gov-
ernment funds. It was predicted in
Washington that President Roose-
velt might intervene to settle
the dispute.
Under the voluntary plan, taxes
starting at 2:5 per cent on both
employers’ payrolls and employees'
wages would increase gradually to
3.5 per cent on each in 1949. The
management-labor understanding
provides that both would back the
plan in congress. It would supersede
the 1935 retirement legislation now
I under court attack by the roads.
M. S. Eccles
chair
man of the Federal Reserve
board, started something when he
issued a warning against the dan-
gers in inflationary
price rises, which
are due, he says,
chiefly to foreign
armament demands,
strikes and monopo-
listic practices by
certain groups in
both industry and
organized labor. He
argued for continu-
ance of low interest
rates but said the
budget should be
balanced and taxes on incomes and
profits should be raised, if neces-
sary, "to sustain the volume of re-
lief and at the same time bring
the budget into balance and permit
the paring down of public debt as
private debt expands.”
The federal reserve system, said
Mr. Eccles, "is powerful to main-
tain a stable economy unless other
essential nonmonetary factors nec-
essary to stability are brought into
line either by private interests or
by the government."
This statement, presumably made
with the approval of Secretary Mor-
genthau and the knowledge of Pres-
ident Roosevelt, aroused a lot of
talk in Washington and the adminis-
tration leaders were discussing
taxes and receipts. Generally tney
agreed that there will be no exten-
sive tax change—merely a resolu-
tion in June extending for one year
$400,000,000 in “nuisance” levies. It

Rarely does anything come of this,

tifully logical standby:
"Putting this man in the electric
chair will never bring back the
woman he slew—remember that,
Gentlemen of the jury."
But putting a brutal killer in the
electric chair will never bring him
back either, which, after all, is the
main idea, isn't it, Gentlemen of
any rational jury?

the relief of some of the suffering
which resells from a woman’s weak-
ened condition. It lms been found
to make monthly periods less dis-
agreeable, and, when Its U3e has been
kept tip awhile, has helped many
poorly nourished women to get more
strength from their food. This medi-
cine (prononneed “Cnrd-u-I") Iran
been used and recommended by
women for many, ninny years. Find
out whether It will help you by
giving It a fair trial. Of course. If

Position in Sleeping
Some psychologists attribute spe-
cial significance to the position one
takes in sleeping. Lying on the back
with legs straight out, arms and
face uncovered, is interpreted as
disposition to face life uncom-
promisingly, notes a writer in Lit-
erary Digest. Sleeping with the arm
partly uround a pillow indicates a
subconscious need for affection. The
sleeper who rolls up like a kitten,
knees drawn toward his chin, is
asserted to be unconsciously fleeing
the realities of life. It remains un-
explained whether or not character
changes each time the sleeper shifts
position; as he does this at least
ten times an hour, the result might
conceivably be an oscillating per-
sonality.
