GERTRUDE HELLENTHAL IS ADMITTED TO BAR IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

Miss Gertrude Hellenthal, sister of Jack Hellenthal, s. Hellenthal and T. A. Hellenthal, who for the eight years previous to the death of Mrs. Rockefeller Mccormick was private secretary to the wom- an at one time supposed to be the richest in the world, has re- gently been admitted to the bar in Chicago, accoIling to information received here.
 Miss Hellenthal was so helpful in handling the spectacular post of secretary to the eccentric, wealthy woman, that she was retained by the Chicago Title and Trust com pany to assist in the administra- tion of the estate, following Mrs. Mccormick death.
 She still lives in the gray stone mansion on Lake Shore Drive, in Chicago, and occupies book-lined room off from Mrs. Mccormick s bedroom, where during the years she stood as a buffer between Mrs. Mccormick and those eager to in- wade her privacy, she pursued her legal studies as well.
 Miss Hellenthal arranged the fur niture for the auction sale, which has received so much publicity in all parts of the country, of Mrs. McCormick's priceless furniture, her gold plate art treasures and per- sonal effects, and sat with Muriel Mccormick Dyer, supporting her during the ordeal when her moth CTS effects were sold. Two pos- sessions of both sentimental and intrinsic value, which were pur- chased by her at the New York auction will remind Miss Helen thai of her years as private secre- tary to the wealthy and eccentric woman, pair of magnificently em- broidered linen sheets and great gold ladel from the famous Bor- ghese dinner service.
 Miss Hellenthal has many friends in Juneau, made when she taught in the commercial department of the High School, who have watch ed with interest the busy and col orful life she has led in the fifteen years since leaving Alaska.

NEW MANAGER !. OF TIGERS HAS
 GOT FEM COIN
Mickey Cochrane Making Quick Hit with Detroit
 Baseball Fans
By EARL J. HILLIGAN

DETROIT, Jan. 31.-If Mickey Cochrane is half as successful on the baseball field next summer as he is now in his rigorous 'sbuns and butter campaign" baseball fans here are confident they will see the busiest. most hustling mana ger the Detroit Tigers have had since the days of dynamic Hughie Jennings. !.
 All of which is to say that Coch- rane is a successful luncheon speaker, with date book filled from now until the latter part of February, when he will take his ball club to Lakeland, Fla.
 Enthused About It
 Mickey appears to have Init his stride" After dabb1ing in saxo- phone warbling, song writing and radio broadcasting Cochrane's bat ting average with Detroit fans is growing as he appears daily at club luncheons, church breakfasts and meetings of youngsters whc have ambitions to some day be- come big-league ball players.
 Cochrane has warmed to the sub- ject of his new managership SC completely that he is right at home before the table cloth and glass ware stage. His gestures, as sharp and quick as his signals to way ering pitchers, add convincing sin cerity to his remarks. And when he injects an occasional story his timing" is as perfect as when he swings on one down the groove
 Detroit's baseball-minded public likes him chiefly because of his enthusiasm for his new job and his determination to make the Tigers a hustling, fighting ball club.
 Makes No Predictions
 Asked what he thought of the prediction of his old manager Connie Mack, that the Tigers may win the American League pennant Mickey remarked that Mack never picked his own club to win the flag and he didn't intend to pre- dict as much for Detroit, although we'll be in the fight all the way
 "You don't think Connie Mack was talking through his hat, do you?" someone asked.
 "Ah-say, what are you trying to do, anyway? Put me on the spot too" replied the new Tiger boss.

The Little Napoleon of baseball, though gray-haired and in retire ment, has by no means taken a boat ride to St. Helena or Elba.
 In fact John Joseph McGraw's s interest in the national game is scarcely less keen during the 40- odd years he strode the field truc- ulently with such clubs as the old Baltimore Orioles or directed the strategy of the New York Giants.
 He has watched the progress of events intently since he turned over the management of the Giants to his one-time protege, Memphis Bill Terry. He was as delighted as any one associated with the club by the sensational exploits of the team last year. Mentally he played every game of the worlds series from start to finish. Esl
 While he thinks the idea of a standard ball for the two big leagues is all right in itself, Me- Graw told gathering of baseball folks recently that he thought it was a mistake to adopt the livelier American League ball, instead of the less deadly National League article.
 ''The National League clubs last season played better baseball, commented McGraw. Tt was more nearly like the old days than any thing I have seen in Is years The spectators evidently liked it, too. ]"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-01-31
THERE CAME WILLIE

Recalling the old days when he was with the Baltimore club and one of the best base-runners ot his time, McGraw related this in- cident:
 T was on first base when Will lie Keeler looped a single to short left I was on top of second base easily and knowing the outfielder had bad arm, suddenly hit up speed and darted for third AS l expected, the throw was bad and I decided to keep going. The throw to the plate was wide and I slid home safely, but that isn't the point of the story. I was barely out of the way when Keeler came sliding across the plate, tool"

GAME NEEDS FIGHT

Touching upon one of his favor ite themes McGraw suggested the advantage of more manifestations of spirit on the ball field by the contending clubs, as one means of helping revive public interest.
 4sI know steps have been taken to eliminate fraternizing by the players of rival clubs he remark ed, but I think it would be a good thing for the game if there was more of the type of rivalry that existed for instance, between the old Giants and Chicago Cubs.
 We don't want rowdyism, Of course, on or off the field. But the authority of the umpires should be less pronounced and the players given chance to let off steam now and then. The crowds like to feel that the clubs out there are

PORTLAND, July blow
ard McPeak, striking seaman

face trial next Tuesday on
charges of carrying smuggling
weapons. Mae is one of the

recognized by the bosses as Il

Instead of arresting him in
the presence of other pickets
where he would have received
protection, the officers took him
when a group of pickets were
stopping a truck from going
through to the waterfront. He
was put in the bottom OF a
patrol boat and kept hidden
until after dark before being
taken up the river to a police
wagon. The officers argued as
to what he would be charged
with. First, disOrderly conduct,
then melting to riot, and finally
the charge was decided to be
carrying smuggling weapons.
Mae had no slugging weapon
upon him so the officers hunted
among the trash along the water
front until they found a piece of
gaspipe. This is the evidence
which they intend to use against
this worker,

Mayor Bans Youth
Anti-JingO Meet

CENTRALIA, Wash, July II
Yielding to the demands of
the Fascist American Legion,
which seems to have established
an invulnerable monopoly on
independence Day as a date for
conjuring up hysterical prO-War
jingoism. DR.. Nugent, Mayor of
Centralia and self-styIed work
ers friend, refused to grant a
permit to young workers and
student organizations for 4th
of July Anti-War parade.
Nugent told the committee
that interviwed him as regards
the permit that This is the
American Legion's Day, and all
must be quiet and peaceful"
Thus Nugent, who plans TO
ask the people to send him to
Congress in the coming elections
puts his stamp of approval on
the American LegiOn's program
of nationalistic chauvinism, and
at the same time denies the
right of the workers to congre-
gate in protest of preparations
for the impending Imperialist
blood-bath.

Mass Protest Is
Asked To Save
Farm For Family

CENTRALIA, Wash, July u.
Asking the aid of all Voice of

NJ. A. Niedfelt of Centralia is
appealing for workers mass
protest against the looming
eviction of Mrs. Fred Aust, de
serted wife and mother of a
large family, from her thirty
acre farm in Lewis County.
Mrs. Aust has paid $500 on
the $4,000 total, in addition to
the Z per cent interest she has
been paying for years. Now
that she has failed to meet the
interest payment for the first
time, her farm-home is about
to be sold under the hammer
This action being pressed by
the mOneylenders will put Mrs.
Aust on relief break up her
family and put them on the
street without shelter.
Judge Bankers Agent
The corrupt judge, being a
former attorney for the money
lender, will neither save the
Aust home nor order Aust to
return to his deserted family.
Only our united mass action
and your protests sent to Judge
Studebaker and Sheriff Blank
enship at Chehalis, can save
this family from being broken
up. Be at the Lewis County
courthouse at 8 a. III. every Sat
urday, especially July II, to hold
the ranks of the workers and
farmers against capitalist vie
tory.

Canada Lumber Union

LWIU expressed the view of
the majority of workers in B. c.
that a unity between the brother
unions of Canada and the L. $.
must be established. This will
be a. spearhead in forcing greater
concessions from the intCrna
tiOnal lumber operators.
Two Leaders Free
During the convention, the
Canadian Labor Defense sent IA
telegram stating that NJ. POpo-
witch and Sam Carr two of the
eight Communists Jailed two
and half years ago because of
their membership in the party,
were released from the Kingston
Prison. 1t also said that the pos
Sibilities of the release Of Tim
Buck and his comrades next
month are very favorable.
This again demonstrated the
value of mass pressure, as every
strike committee meeting thru
out the strike sent resolutions
of protest demanding the release
of these militant workers. This
militancy and solidarity en-
pressed during the strikes has
put fear into the hearts of the
Bennett government which is
weakening under the pressure of
the Canadian working class.
Elect Strong leadership
A broad District Committee
was elected at the Convention
that will be component enough
to weld unity and lead the b. G..
lumber workers in their struggles
for the right to live.
The delegates went back to
their posts with renewed vigOr
and OrganiZatiOnal experiences.
with the necessary knowledge to
expand and build the LWIU in
conjunction with the cOncentra-
ton of the NLWU on the COM
pGnies that hold interests in
b. C.
This expresses in concrete Or
ganization that another imag-
mary boundry between the work
ing classes has been smashed,
and the unity of these two mill
tant industrial lumber workers
unions will be a menace to the
lumber operators profits.

Arriving at Salem a few hours
later the disrupters found the

much disgruntled they hurried
back to Portland and accused
the militants of stealing" the

the fact that a delegated cOnven-
ton had been called for the

bership, they asserted that the

versy were w. X. Patrick, dema-
gOgic self proclaimed Moses of

was very proud and very jealous
of his position as president of

beck, political ward heeler, now
candidate for county commissions

Chief of Police B. X. Lawson who
had previously declared, rather
indiscreetly, that he was going
to Smash this federation" Dur
ing the entire campaign Whit
beck was in constant touch and
received Unreasonable support
from POrtland's red squad"
After the split occurred Pat
rick announced himself a candi-
date for city commissioner and
Whitbeck, perennial candidate
on one ticket or another, came
out to campaign for the office of
county commissioner. Whitbeck
won the nomination. Patrick
whose organization boasts a
membership of 5000 received
about 1000 votes, coming in
eleventh in his field. Whitbeck's
role must be thoroughly exposed
to the Portland workers. He is
a demagogue and faker of the

REED SLABS STRIKING LONG
SHoREMEN IN FASCIST
TALK

EVERETT, July 12.-Joseph
Reed, International vice presi-
dent of the BOilermakers, was
the opening speaker of the
Wednesday morning session at
the Washington State Fedora
ton of Labor convention.
Reed, blOated like a balloon
as o. result of his long years of
duty as an A. +. of l.. labor
leech, rendered a rampant Fas-
cist address, in which he de-
plOred the presence of the "radi-
cal element" in striking coast
liza locals.
He urged the body to oppOsre
the general strike proposal,
which, he said, was adopted by
liza unions because of the Com
munist agitation from below"
I'VE leaders are still on the fir
ing line for the 1919 general
. strike, he walled.
Reed praised F. d. Roosevelt
and the NRA. He thanked the
president for the miserable pit
tance he has given the workers
of America, and hailed him as
the greatest friend labor had
ever had in the White House.
Tapering off his Fascist per-
formance, Reed took the floor
later In the morning to speak on
resolution requesting a new
drydOck for the Bremerton navy
yards.
I'VE should not be content
with just a new drydOck," he
grunted, Eve must demand
equipment for the yard that
would enable us to build and
repair as many vessels as the
government needs"
Suppose the government
should become involved In a war.
You delegates know as well as
| that we on the West Coast
would be inadequately prepared
to meet the emergency. 1t would
be a terrible tragedy"
Thus Reed attempted to turn
the convention into a lingo
preparedness affair that would
have reflected shame on even
the American Legion's prize eff
forts.
Reeds salary for his task of
betraying the Boilermakers' rank
and file is $3.50 a month, with an
additional $40 a day for travelling
expenses. The Voice of Action
suggests that Reed apply to
Adolf Hitler for a position as
American Federation of Labor
agent for the Friends of New
Germany. Reed demonstrated
clearly at Everett Wednesday
that he would be invaluable to
Der Fuehrer' in that capacity.
