INVESTMENTS IN
 EUROPE APPROVED
Political and Social Science EX-
 pertS See Aid to Peace

Philadelphia, May Is Pl-Invest- ment of American capital In Europe will establish a new code of inter- national financial ethics which will advance the cause of world peace, in the opinion of speakers today be- fore the annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
 The speakers included Dr. George W. Edwards, New York university; Louis E. Van Norman, federal de- partment of commerce.: Dr. Harry T. Collins, University of Pennsylva- mia. and Raymond Robins, Chicago.
 Asserting that the change from the position of the worlds greatest debtor to that Of the worlds largest creditor has placed upon this coun- try q large share of the responsi- bility of future international conflict or peace. Dr. Edwards declared that the United States was particu- larlv well situated to carry out a constructive investment policy.
 American foreign investments, '" he said, 'are distributed among thousands of holders. so American foreign investment is essentially democratic in nature. American f. nance is primarily concerned in the economic merits of an investment and is unaffected by political con- alterations which exert so important an influence in other creditor na- tions."
 Mir. Van Norman said the shift Of the United States from a debtor to a creditor nation was one Of the most and significant develop ments in the financial and economic history Of the modern world. There are possibilities in this" he declared flor profound notifications in the foreign policy of our country"
 Dr. Collins said the present day investment market was information alized and that America continued to be the great reservoir of free capital, investing abroad, roughly, a billion dollars a year.
 Discussing the United States and Russia" MT. Robins declared the Soviet government was more pow erful and stable today than ever be- fore.
 Ut is now time" he said. Ito substitute sanity and common sense for hysteria and lying propaganda in dealing with the Russian question. Let our government send to Russia la competent diplomatic and bus iness mission and let them sit down lat a table with the opresentatves Of tho Russian government, Then if that government declines req |sonable settlement of the debt due our government to compensate

Franc Rallies a Bit
 Over Yesterdays Low

Paris, May Is R'-Unofficial quo- tations for the franc were 33.30 to the dollar this morning, after estab- fishing an official new low yesterday of 32.62.
 The tangled political and indus trial situation in Europe is the req son given in French and officials cir cles for the steady fall of the franc.
 The Polish conflict and the Cor man governmental crisis have had particularly depressing effects. Hur- ried buying of dollars and pounds by French importers. who have been waiting for an improvement in tho exchange, also has contributed to the francs fall,

greens.
 The eyes of those from the east were focused on Pompey, two year old champion of 1925. now primed to ascend the throne of three year olds. He was installed overnight as .the favorite at the probable odds of five to two. Western hopes were pinned on the entries of E. B. Brad ley, Bubbling Over, Bagenbaggage and Boot to Boot, second choice at 5 to i. -
 Nowhere in all it's long history has such a representative field been en- tered for the Derby. In addition to Pompey and Bubbling Over. Rock Man, Blondin. Bspino. Rhinock, Can ter and Display are strong conten- ders. The long shots" now are Light Carbine, Take Chance, Champ De Mars, Recollection, Bol- ton, Rasuli and Roycrofter.
 There will be no "allowances" in this race. Each colt will carry eX- actly the same weight, 1o6 pounds.
 The general consensus of the turf writers here from many parts of the country is that the race will be be- tween Pompey and Bubbling Over. Both are about as fast as animals can be made. Their turf duel, should that prove to be the case, might go down in history as one of the famous races of all time. Two. and possibly three of the colts named may be scratched, mak- ing for an even better race. As it stands, the field Is the smallest since 1922, when ten ran. On only two other occasions in the past sev- on years have the number of start CTS been as few as 12.
 The Derby, In he beginning the sporting event of Kentucky, now be- longs to America. Time was when the visitor to Churchill Downs on Derby Day gazed over the throng 10 pick out the Clays, the Breckinridgts and other notables of the state in social gathering. Today the veter- an Kentucky colonel is but ghost in the hustling, happy crowd-blot- ted out of the picture as effectively as the famed mint julep he once loved 10 sip.
 In his stead are found the Wall street barons, Chicago meat packers and motion picture stars of Cali fornia. On the borderland between tho north and the south, east meets west and sectionalism is obliteratcd by the cosmopolitan hosts which .treks in seeming endless procession ito gather at the Downs.
 Kentucky famed for it's fast horses, beautiful women and good whisliey, clings to two of the tradi- tions. The finest horse flesh in the world is on show, cleaning under careful grooming and showing the pink of distcudcd, velvet nostrils and the white of flashing eyes. Wis itorS have acknowledged during the past gatherings, and will acknowl- edge again today. that nowhere in the world is there such a gathering of feminine beauty as at a Kentucky Derby.
 The belle of Anderson is missing, gone the way of Paul Jones, old grandad and four roses, but despite the loss of these prohibition con solations of the loser and happy Icelchrants of the winner, the Derby lis the same Derby of former years. 'The electric excitement, the beauty and color, the airy tread of fairy hoofs and the hail Of king sport are as ever. .

TEAM
 SHUTS OUT BERLIN
Partyka Allows One Hit and Is
 Too Strong for SouthenderS
League Standing

The Eddy-Glover post team hand ed the Berlin entry whitewash last evening in an American Legion league game played at the Kensing- ton grounds. Partyka, the local mound ace, twirled the game and al- lowed only one hit in the six innings. He was altogether too much for the Berlinites who appeared to be kind of stage struck during the contest.
 Berlin's one hit came in the third when Johnson singled, but 1t went for nothing when Myers hit grounder to Partyka and a double play went through. New Britain started by scoring one in the first. Two more were added in the third and another in the fifth. Then the game was turned into a slaughter when New Britain scored five in the sixth and last inning.
 Levine started things in the first with a sharp single over second. He advanced around the bases ana scored on an error. The third lnnlng saw Kulas get on on single and he went to second. Mangan belted one that was good for two bases and Kulas counted. Mangan scored shortly afterwards on another error I-by the Berlin tielders.
 Partyka was sailing along in fine shape during all this time and held the Berlin hitters under his thumb The one hit and five free passes were the only times that Berlin had men
 on bases but they were never near | to scoring. Partyka's work shone | out during the entire game. Ayers worked hard for the losers but New
 Britain managed to bunch the hits
 when they were needed. The collect cd q total of 1C bingles, two of them
 being doubles, one by Bogdanski l and the other by Mdngan.
 Mccormick was easily the star 't the Berlin team. He is about as big
 as 4 pint Of cider without a klck'
 but he covered his position like veteran, He accepted six chances
 without an error. Lewis played d
 great game at third while Myers
 had six assists covering his position. Levine. Kulas and Mangan collected
 two hits each for New Britain while
 Partyka had five chances on the ln-
 field Berlin will meet New Britain
 in this city Friday evening. The | score.

Detroit Downs New York - Cleveland Falls Before Washngton-St Louis Scores Victory Over Red Sox-Athetics Down White Sox-Giants Conquer Cubs-Dodgers Lose to Pirates-Cards Trim Bos ton-Phillies Top Cincinnati.

By the Associated Press
 Fifteen games in the west, widely regarded as a crucial test, have left the New York Yankees well ahead on the field in the American league.
 Ten victories against five defeats, .667 baseball where .500 undoubted- ly would have been acceptable, show on the Higgins record for the in- yasion and only one more foreign tour stands between the present leaders and another league pen nant.
 Where a month ago Cleveland had to play .667 ball to tie the Tanks playing .500, the westerners per centage for the remainder of the season must be .750. In other words, if the Yankees win 22 and lost the same number the Indians must reg ister 80 conquests against II losses to tie.
 Yesterday Detroit took another shot at the leaders and won an abbreviated game, to 8, with a three-run rally. Ty Cobb, batting for O'Rourke in the seventh, singled home the winning score. The game was called at the end of that in ming to permit the Yankees to catch a train for Washington where a doubleheader was scheduled today.
 Meanwhile Cleveland fell before the excellent pitching of Dutch Ruether of Washington, 4 to 1. The veteran lefthander granted only six hits, one a double by Speaker.
 Ken Williams seventeenth home run of the year gave St. Louis vic- tory over the Red SoX, 6 to 4, com- ing in the eighth with one on the bases.
 The Athletics downed the White sox, to 8, after II innings. More harts tumble of Grabowski's throw in the final frame to catch Hale stealing was followed by Cochrane single which settled the issue. John- nv Mostil of Chicago recorded a homer.
 A shifted infield failed to hamper the New York Giants in the Ma tional league and today they are se- cure in fourth position as result of their victory over the Chicago Cubs, to O. Freddie Lindstrom their third baseman, has been called to Chicago by the death of his fath, CT and Frank Frisch is at third base Frisch's home run in the sixth yes terday won the game.
 Brooklyn succumbed to the Pi' rates, 10 10 ?, the ninth straight de- feat for the Dodgers. Thirteen hits by Pittsburgh and eight errors by Brooklyn tell the story of the con- test.
 Boston bowed to the St, Louis Cardinals, to 1, when foul straight hits in the ninth accounted for two runs. Manager Hornsby started the rally The Cardinal TUT in the fourth was the first scored of Braves pitchers in four games Rehm held them to six safeties.
 Philadelphia topped Cincinnati 10 to 8, by counting IT hits of1 Donohue, Luque and Lucas. Curtis Walker of the Reds hit home TUT in the fifth with two on base.

 BATTLE FROM SMITH TEAM
Washingtons Blank Willow Brooks - Kovaleski and Dobkowsk Engage in Sweet Pitchers Battle - South Enders Run Bases Poorly-League Leaders Never in Danger of Being Headed - Important Games Scheduled Friday.
WaShingtonS Win

The Washingtons were always in the lead over Willow Brook and pounded the offerings of both Hult- berg and Mirigliani to all corners of the lot. In the first inning Todzia started off by rapping out a sharp hit through second, Hultberg tight, ened up and famed the next batter but walked Luty. Todzia scored while Skonieczny was being retired at first. Martinczyk drove a liner at the shortstop which was too hard to handle and another run scored. Hultberg held the Washingtons well in hand until the fifth inning when the winners started the bar rage and crossed the plate with two more runs. In the sixth, however. they drove him from the mound with a shower of extra base hits and scored four runs.
 Martinczyk started off with a poke l to centerfield. went to second on a wild throw and sto,e third. He scored on f1elder's choice of Pier kowski's grounder to short which was thrown to the plate. PierkoW,
 ski stole second and third in sue cession and rode home on a double by F'lorkowski to left field. A dou- ible by Todzia and single by Toczko
 concluded the rally. In the eighth land ninth the Washingtons had men
 on the sacks but only one runner
 crossed the plate.
 The Willow Brooks on the other
 hand were unable to solve the slants ! of Pierkewski and with the eNcep-
 ton of the second were unable to
 do much. In this frame the losers
