Third Party?

While the third party movement is secuted Nin both democratic and republican circles ss national convention dates draw near the threat of prohibition looms ominously. To isnon the demand for prohibition reform may spell doom for,the republican party this fall. On the other hand to insert wet plank in the platform certainly means that the party will be split into the prohibition and snti-prohibition factions. Whether a candidate will be selected by each group is more than we can predict. Offhand we say. no, but certainly if President Hoover declares himself in favor of some change from present conditions the occasion will be ripe for Senator William Borah's entrance upon the scene.
 Senator Borah proved this past week that he is the leader of the dry members in the Senate when he engaged in tilt with Sem ,ator Bingham of our own state. Let it be said to the credit of Senator Bingham that he fared much better than did any of the wet measures that he has sponsored in the present session of Congress. There are few legislators that can stand up with Borah on the debating floor. Few are able to match wits with him. but for once he was silenced and in such manner that he himself was forced to acknowledge his respect of the opponent.
 The desire to capitalize prohibition has been uppermost in the minds of astute re- publican leaders for some months now. lt is probabl part of a well thought out scheme to resell Hoover to the nation. It may be remembered that in 1928 he was pointed out as one of the wonders of this modern age where business of nations was concerned. To date he has not lived up to this reputa. ton. Likewise the republican party was hailed as the party of prosperity in 1928. a boast that it's members wish had been left unuttered. It is so foolish for any political party to imagine that the rise and fall of business depends upon it.
 But as we say new touch was needed to Mir Hoovers bow in l932 and it is generally conceded that some such startling declaration. such as demand for modification or repeal of the liquor laws, would constitute this ft didn't matter that the democratic party had generally been regarded as the party of the anti-prohibition wing. As long as thc southern democrats had any say republicans figured the democrats could not nationally align themselves with a repeal plank, There. fore. they may steal the show in June by direct plea to the vote of the increasing numbers of those opposed to our sys~m of liquor control. But if it means the lorna. ton of third party with the formidable Senator Bofah at it's head why second thoughts in republican circles may cause revoke. leaving it up to the democrats 10 champion the wet cause. which they must do to nominate any one of the leading presidcn- tial candidates.

ty years ago this spring he con- tosted with the Hon Michael Ken. ealy of Stamford for tho sAte committee chairmanship.
 The Xenealy people, who repre- sented the Dulkeiey.Brnndcgce wing of tho party were confident. They could count noses and show that they had Mr Horaback beat. en, However, he fooled them by winning away the support of Jo.

 There have been one or two fIurrics since, but Mr Rorab9ck's reigr, has been secure despite thcm. Al the time he was elected state chairman the national committee. man was the iAte Charios r.

 MT Roraback and MT King did not remain iong on terms of poll tlcai friendship. It was iml,ossiblo that they should.

New York's forests. both public and pri- vate, were ordered closed this week because of fire dangers. We don't presume the heavy showers of Thursday will nullify the order, as it would require few days rain to wet down the underbrush and woods sufficiently to remove all danger. As Lieutenant Gov. ernor Lehman said. The present forest fire hazard is matter of extreme gravity and concern to all the people of the state.' And in all states for that matter.

Pinch Hitting for Henry McLemore
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24.-Mild-
red (Babe) Didrikson's row over
eligibility recalls rather pointedly
the troubles Charlie Paddock and
Bill Tilden used to have when
they were king pins in their re-
spective sports.
Poddock, the worlds fastest hu-
man, was on the carpet time and
again before the A. A. U. but he
never lost lasting decision to that
body.
Similarly Tilden fought time upon
time with the U. S. L. T. A., win
ming persistently until he volun-
tarily turned professional.
No track meet then was a sue
cess without Paddock in the 100
yard dash and Tilden, of course,
kept tennis alive during the years
he was top man.
Miss Didrickson't great track rec
ord last summer, eliminating in
two first places and one second in
the Olympic games, made her a
very important drawing card for
the Amateur Athletic Union.
The Texas girl apparently de-
cided just to take the A. A. U. by
the horns, SO to speak, and, with
out even awaiting it's ruling on
her temporary suspension, announ-
ced she had turned professional.
She has said the action of the
union in clearing her has not af-
fected her intention and she was
last reported enroute to Hollywood
for possible motion picture con-
tracts.
Just as her brush with the A. A.
u. recalls troubles of amateur stars
of the past. Miss Didrikson's lean
ing toward Hollywood has fam
iliar ring.
Two other members OF the AM
erican Olympic team have drop
ped their amateur vows and entered
bids for screen fame. Eleanor Holm,
beautiful brunette and champion in
the 200-meter backstroke swim,
was the first, and Helene Madison,
queen of the short distance swimS,
was next. Neither has appeared in
q picture yet.
Johnny Weismuller and Buster
Crabbe, both former Olympic aqua
tic stars, have good chances to
achieve success in the movies while
Johnny Mack Brown, All-Ameri-
can footballer from Alabama, has
an established place in pictures.
After forsaking his amateur
golf standing, Bobby Jones turned
out a highly successful series of
films illustrating playing technique,
and plans another starting next
month. Tilden made tennis SER
les that paid well
Paddock was opposite Bebe DAN
iels in campus romance film but
that was his lone appearance. Har-
old (ReO Grange, the "Galloping
Ghost" of Illinois, made one picture
and then returned to the gridiron,
although it was said that Grange
showed promise.
Hollywood too has been a favor
ed haunt of professional athletes.
Jack Dempsey has done film
work without causing John Barry
more any loss of sleep, and Gene
Tunney, Jim Jeffries and Jack
johnson are other former heavy
weight champions who have ap-
peared in flickers. Frank Moran,
Gunboat Smith, George Godfrey
and Arthur De Kuh have appeared
before Kleig lights.
Babe Ruth tried acting before
the camera several times but the
Babes better at hitting home runs.
