One DEVELOPMENT is the disclosure that

OF the political consequences of impos-

is pronounced among some of the South

have its effect when 1t comes to shaping
the defense program.

One Of the most prominent Of the
Southern Democrats in the House de-
clared today that II more revenue We're
extracted from the public, it would de-

BILL BRADLEY TRANSFERRED

In addition to being deposed as man. ager of the Brooklyn Federal league club in favor of Lee Magee. Bill Brad ley will no longer. be with the Brook feds Robert B. Ward has admitted that Bradley had been transferred to the Kansas City club, and that he would go wherever the franchise was shifted.
 Bradley has been released outright to the Kawfeds. and his case presents a. novel situation It is not every day that a former manager is presented to another club without any considcra- tion. The KaWfeds did not even give Ward a bird dog for Bill. There is another strange angle to the affair.

 No matter what happens. Bradley should wOrry. He has a, tllTSe year contract and will be taken care of even if he has to spend the next two sea sons at his villa in Cleveland.

 Ward has asserted that Magee's 2r- nouncement was premature. He said that Brooklyn had not yet obtained the pitcher.
