TO SUBDUE DEANS.

Series With Cardinals.
Tigers Lose Ground.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, Jr.
Associated Press Sports Writer. =

%HE Giants today faced another
important series in the battle
for their second straight Ma
tional League pennant - a
four-game struggle with the second
place Cardinals-and they hoped it
would be the last time they had to
bear down until the time comes to do
it before the flag-decked world
series stands.
With a lead of 51z games to start
the fray as the result of New Yorks
3-to-2 triumph over the Pirates while
the Cards suffered a 81 setback In
Philadelphia, the Giants needed only
to conquer the Dean brothers jinx
again to settle the campaign.

TT WAS Carl Hubbell who brought
New York yesterdays triumph
and removed Pittsburgh's last
mathematical chance CT tying for the
flag. Carl not only limited the Bucs
to six hits in a duel with Ralph
Birkofer, but singled in the sixth to
start a rally that tied the score and
in the next inning drove in Blondy
Ryan, who had doubled. with the
winning tally.
A homer by Dazzy Vance was the
only run the Cards could get off
three Philadelphia pitchers. The
Dazzler weakened in the eighth to
give the Phils their three runs when
he yielded four hits and Dizzy Dean,
who followed, was touched for an
other.
The third-place Cubs kept pace
seven games behind the Giants with
a 5-to-2 triumph over the Braves be-
hind Lonnie Warneke, who won his
twenty first game of the season.

GAS RATE FIGHT.
IN COUNTY

Spirited attack of the Arlington
county board for compromising
the gas rate litigation with the
Rosslyn Gas Company is con-
tained in a letter to the three
United States judges sitting in
the case by Arthur Orr, president
of the Arlington County Civic
Federation, and I. C. Kephart,
chairman of the Arlington county
public utilities commission.
The letter was made public in
connection with petition, cir.
culated by Mr.. Orr, asking the
circuit court judges of the county
to set date for an election on a
proposed bond issue of $1,000,000
for constructing or acquiring q
gas plant by the county.
The letter aSsailing the gas rate
compromise, in which the county
board last week agreed to accept
reduction of the present rate
from $3.50 to approximately $1.20
per 1000 cubic feet, was adj
dressed to the three judges, who
were to have heard the case in
U. S. District Court at Baltimore,
December 81.
The letter asked the case not be
dismissed until the gas consumers
of the county can voice their
views.
The petition already has Is
signatures. Only 50 are needed
to obtain call for the bond
election.

SA|TO HOLDS UP
NOTE AS TOKEN
Of GOODWILL
Japanese Envoy's Gesture
Leaves Officials Free for
Holiday Plans

American observance Of the
birth of Christ today stayed the
serving of Japan'S sentence OF
doom on the international naval
treaty, designed to help maintain
peace on earth and goodwill
toward men by ending naval
rivalry among nations. ,
Japanese Ambassador Hirosi
Saito was in possession Of instruc'
tions from Tokyo to deliver to
the State Department formal noti.
fication of Japan's intention to
terminate the Washington naval
treaty, the cornerstone on which
was lain the basis Of world naval
limitation.
Decides to Wait
However, as a gracious gesture
toward the State Department Of
ficials, who were engrossed IN
Christmas thoughts or prepara-
tions, the envoy decided to wait
until after tomorrow before carry
ing out his instructions.
Ambassador Saito receive d
Saturday the instructions which
seal the doom of the Washington
naval treaty. He at first conten-
plated deliverins; the formal notice
of denunciation to the State De-
partment this morning but upon
learning that some of the officials
already had left for their homes
on Christmas leave and that
others hoped to get away this
afternoon, he decided to wait.
Under the terms of the treaty,
the United States is duty bound
to inform Immediately the other
signatorieS if one power serves
notice of denunciation.
Friendly Gesture
This also entails the dispatch
of a certified copy of the notice
Of denunciation to each Of the sig.
natories. Had Ambassador Saito
delivered the notice today, it
would have meant that some alb
sent officials, especially Jay Pierre
pont Moffat, chief of the Division
Of Western European Affairs,
would have had to leave their
Christmas eve firesideS to return
to the department and probably
work Christmas Day as well.
Despite the profound disappoint-
ment in official circles at Japan's
action in scrapping the Washing
ton Treaty, for which this country
sacrificed "a vessels, the conSidera-
ton shown by Ambassador Saito
enabling the State Department
workers to enjoy the Christmas
holidays was held likely to en-.
nance his personal esteem here.

BUSINESS PLAN
FOR NEW DEAL
LINK FAILS
Leaders Rebuffed by Chiefs of
Administration; Program
of Cooperation Lost
BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL

BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
The efforts of business men to
carry out what they had thought
would be a likely program of CO.
operation with the New Deal are
meeting with about as much sue
cess as the proposal which was
made shortly after the Demo
cratic landslide in November for
a coalition of parties in the Gov
ernment.
The proposal for a partisan
coalition came from some of the
Republicans. 1t was remarked then
that it was the first time that
anyone had seriously proposed
that the tail should wag the dog.
That remark just about killed the
proposal.
There was, however, more rea-
son for believing that it would be
possible to effectuate a coalition
of big business and the New Deal,
particularly after the convention
of bankers here and the maneuVer-
ing that went on at that time to
show that the Administration and
the financiers were not leaping at
one another's throats.
Second New Deal Seen
Big business went away from
Washington thinking that it had
been invited to participate in the
next moves of the Government,
the departed hailing the arrival OF
a new deal within the New Deal.
The business men then went out
and trieC to work out definite
program upon which they could
go along with President Roosevelt.
One expression of that program
came from White Sulphur Springs
last week. There were gathered
the biggest of the big business
men. They met to perform a pub
lie service and they met also to
attempt to reconcile the New Deal
to their interests.
The business men announced
their program. They hoped that
it would be received sympathetic
CdA1y III w doAIA1AS COu.
Plan Made Useless
Well, the simple fact is that,
while the program was received
here, it was received in such a
spirit as to make it practically
useless to both the big business
men and to the Administration.
President Roosevelt, of course,
has not indulged in criticism OF
the program personally. He
scarcely could do that because he
is more or less in the position of
having asked that it be submitted.
But numerous of the Presidents
intimates and aides have made it
known that they don't think much
of the contribution which the busi-
ness men have made to the New
Deal.
This attitude isn't helping the
Administration or the business
men a great deal.
Another Rebuff
The business men are getting
the idea that they have been re-
buffed again. They are gaining
the impression that the Admin.
istration no more wants their
cooperation now than it did in
its first year or eighteen months
when it missed no opportunity
to take a crack at business.
Naturally, the business men
are resentful. So they strengthen
their lines of opposition to some
of the New Deal philosophy.
Many of them are apt to be
driven, or to think that thSy
have been driven, into the ranks
of organizations which are ad-
mittedly hostile to the Admins
tration. In those ranks they
will cement their opposition to
the developments of the New
Deal and that won't help either
the New Deal or big business.
