Jose lynchings and denounced the
late Sunny jim Rolph, who gave
his gubernatorial blessings and as
sistance to the public-spirited
lynchers. Mr.. Pegler proved in a
number of columns how empty and
puny were these people who pro-
tested such a necessary act OF
American justice; and this brought
him lustrous opprobrium. 1t was
pointed out that he was approving
a fascist act.
QUT one thing was not pointed out
- and still, though 1 have done
plenty OF research, has not been
pointed out. And that is Mr.. Peg
ler's equipment for his thoughts on
any subject but sports. THAT sports
writer turned observer and philoso-
pher," a contributor to Mike Colds
column sarcastically described him,
a few weeks ago, and though the
thought that sports writers cannot
seriously be considered as observers
and philosophers hurts me, yet in
the sphere of things such as econ
omics, sociology, etc., Mr.. Pegler's
comments, though they demand ex-
posture, are the comments Of a
snotnoSe. Examine his stuff and
you will discover that his back
ground is that of the capitalist
sports writer's, men who spend their
leisure enyying those who get their
stories accepted by the Saturday
Evening Post, the men who held up
Gene Tunney for an ass because he
had intellectual ambitions. In all
the columns he has written for the
World Telegram Pegler has never
shown any semblance of analytical
power.
WE have the latest example of his
W thinking in his piece on ''Putzy'
Hanfstaengl.
1.-THE Haryards are an offensive
lot. They are always SO right and
superior, and the worst of it is that
they are right and superior" Thus
Mr.. Pegler of the invitation to
Putty"
when DR.. Ernst Hanfstaengl,
the aid to Adolph Hitler, returned
for his class reunion Harvard re-
ceived him as one of her sons,
without examining his political be-
liefs or the record of his govern
ment, deeming his class member
ship to be the only credential worth
considering"
Even Mr.. Broun, though he
thought that the best way to- treat
Hanfstaengl was with silent scorn,
laid it on Harvard for its invitation
to Putty" But Mr.. Pegler is even
more liberal than Mr.. Broun. 1t is
his idea of liberalism to commend
Harvard for being liberal enough to
glorify fascist. Like Harvard, Mr..
Pegler deems "Putzy's" class MEM
bership the only credential worth
considering.

of the reaction of the British rulers
to present events in Germany.
'The future Of Germany is full
of anxieties, as seen in official
British eyes" says this cable, C
anxieties not only for Germany
but for Britain, whose future is
inevitably bound up with events
on the Continent. If today's reyo-
luton turns out to be a swing to
the right with the junkers firmly
in the saddle the British viii not
be too happy about it. =. In the
next few days the British will
watch carefully to see the atti-
tude of the aged President Won
Hindenburg, and leaders like Vice
Chancellor Won Papen.
''They will be curious to see the
fate of DR.. Joseph Goebbels, min
ister of propaganda, who, they
feel, cannot remain part of a
purely right wing government.
"Above all, they will watch for
signs of Communist unrest, for if
there is one thing the British fear

broun S constitution needs
recuperation. 1t is perhaps
significant, if we wish to
compare the qualities of these
three, that all adopt the
liberal attitude, that all have prais-
ed Franklin D. Roosevelt and the
New Deal, that all pose as friends
of the laboring man.
MR. PEGLER, like Mr.. Broun, was
M sports writer with reputs-
ton. He and Bill Mcclellan were
undoubtedly the best known, and
perhaps the best, sports writer's in
the field of sports journalism in
America. They had an attitude. It
was a cynical, superior attitude, and
in the corrupt, molasses field they
inhabited, it was an attitude that
was welcomed by the discerning.
One need not have believed them
to be mental genuiSeS or economists
or socialogists but they had knowl-
edge, and I, for one, confess that
much of the reading that I did of
any one Of the sports columnists
for anything resembling revelation
was done in Mr.. Pegler's and Mr..
McGeehaniS Stints.
IT is therefore unfortunate that
1 Mr.. Pegler now has to do eco
Monies, sociology, metaphysics, pol
itics and the arts for the customers
of Scripps- Howard. Because. nn-
fortunately, Mr.. Pegler, though he
has a large forehead for sports,
seems to have no ideas in that fore
head for all these other intricate
subjects. 1t may be pointed out, in
regard to this, that many of his
columns are still devoted purely to
a recounting of athletics and their
characters. In viewing the long
range of subjects which he must
now comment upon, he has only his
attitude, the cynical; superior at
titude. Pegler is in that poor posi-
ton where he must use his man
ner to camoufiage his matter. That
is why when he gets hold of a good
matter for his manner like the
current Astor- Gillespie French cir
Gus he thanks god and grips it till
his teeth are breaking. When I
picked up the paper, Saturday, Mr..
Pegler was still rolling around with
it, now in Newport.
Being considered a doctor of all
other enlightened human pursuits,
it is only natural that he should
also be considered a good society
reporter, and that he, like the sales
girl from the furniture department
of New York department store,
whom the Mirror planted on the
scene, be assigned to cover the we'd
ding.

Late Friday night all police and
reliable fascist troops were mobi-
liked and thrown about all public
buildings. The streets were flooded
with armored cars, trucks, filled with
police, and machine guns we're set
up at strategic places.
Former. Chancellor Slain
Among those killed in the mas
sacre were General Won Schleicher
and his wife. Won Schleicher, who
was closely associated with leading
forces in the German army, the
Reichswehr, had been chancellor for
81 days, just before Hitler came to
power. He was connected with vari-
Gus capitalist and monarchist groups
who wanted to supplant the fascist
regime with a military dictatorship,
representing more liberal forces.
Supreme Storm Troop leaders
killed in Munich were as follows:
August Schneidhuber, district group
leader; Edmund Helms of Silesia,
district group leader; Karl Ernst of
Berlin, district group leader; Will
helm Schmid of Munich, district
group leader; Hans Peter Won
Heidelbrack of Pomerania, district
group leader; Hans Erwin Count
Spreti of Munich, standard leader.
A Central News dispatch from
Berlin to London declared that
Hjalmar Schacht, president of the
Reichsbank and director of the eco
nomic policies of the fascist regime,
had disappeared or been killed.
Vice-Chancellor Franz Won Papen
was reported as placed under pro
tective arrest" and later released.
In statement made to foreign
correspondents General Goering de-
clared: For weeks and months we
have observed that a certain clique
