SACRAMENTO, April 26. - For
NAL entrance of George Creel in
the race for the Democratic CUB
ernatorial nomination added fur
ther complications to a political
situation already so bewildering
that the most experienced prognoS-
ticatorS refuse to say what will
happen next Au9ust %
There is one solution 10 the pres
ent Democratic problem, in the
opinion of some observers. That
would be the withdrawal OF Justus
S. Warden from the contest and
the uniting of party effort behind
Creel.
This proposal, however, was ex-
pected to meet with violent oppos-
ition, not only from Wardel S
hackers, but from the other seven
bourbon candidates and their sup
porters.

was expected to enter the race up
ON his return from a publishers
trip to Mexico City. There also
was a strong possibility that John
R. Quinn, Los Angeles county su-
pervisor, would join the contest
when he returns from Washington.
Addition of Richardson and Quinn
to the field would add the final
note to a confusing political picture,
in the opinion of observers here.

2 Women Lose
Relief Checks
To SEcker

commissioner Allen wants to
see If you really got relief
checks"
These words, from the lips of
a glib "city slicker," worked
magic yesterday with the result
that two women on District re-
lief rolls are minus their relief
checks today. Appearing at the
homes of the two women, the
glib one posed as a cousin of
the secretary to Commissioner
Allen, Ross Haworth. He went
on:
Commissioner Allen wants to
see how much they are for.
Give them to me to show to the
commissioner and l will return
them later"
The checks and the cousin"
have disappeared and police
have notified all banks and com.
mercial houses not to cash the
checks.

SOCIALIST RAPS

President Roosevelt played a
"low order of politics" in appoint
ing a commission to take the
profits out of war" before the Sen
ate Munitions Committee had
completed it's inquiry, Norman H.
Thomas, Socialist candidate for
President in 1882, declared today
after visit to the investigators.
Mr.. Thomas charged the Presi-
dent with an effort to sidetrack
the investigation" He also criti-
cized the appointment of Bernard
M. Baruch, New York capitalist,
and Gen. Hugh S. Johnson. for
mer NRA chief, to the Admins
tration commission.
Plants Approved
He attacked the President, just
after the committee opened an in.
quiry into the Governments plans
for the next war. There was a
hint Of a bill, for Federal licensing
of newspapers in time of war. 1t
was shown that under another
bill, the Government proposes to
set up an administrator of public
relations with authority to "super.
wise a voluntary censorship Of the
press"
The committee sought light on
the governments plans for deal
ing with contractors and supply
dealers in next war. Already, the
planning commission of the War
Department has approved 10000
plants for the making of muni-
tions and other war materials.
The forms of contracts have al
really been prepared.
Price Fixing Plans
One contract, which may lead
to widespread opposition from
induStriaiSts, would authorize
payment of cost "plus per cent
Of the capital" used in manu-
featuring or producing the gov.
ernment's order.
Another would allow fixed
prices and the committee learned
the government planned t. fix
the price of virtually every COM

was just as interesting as the
score indicates.
Western Maryland kept close at
all times. trailing only 18 to 13 at
the half. Going into the last five
minutes Of play, the visitors broke
out with such a barrage of baskets
that George Washington found

Fund For Victims
Of MfGntiLe Paralysis

Hsee how professional sports can
afford not to be affiliated with
this movement. Not necessarily
at Warm Springs, Ga. They may
already have all the money they
require, or can conveniently use
at that point.
It is a small place and every
sufferer from infantile paralysis
can not go there, of course. There
wouldn't be enough accommoda-
tions, and won't be when this
money is spent. But according to
the doctors, any place where there
is a decent climate, hot baths
and facilities for massage will
serve, and there are dozens Of
such places in the United States.
Now as you are well aware,
judge, the good steed charity Is
an over.ridden and jaded animal.
And I know of no class Of people,
save possibly those Of the theater,
who give more often and
more willingly than the people OF
sports. I'd like to have just the
interest on the money Jack Curley
has given to charity, to mention
only one outstanding example.
Here's the Plan
So I am not thinking that
you should ask the owners, such
as Mr.. Stoneham and Colonel
Rupert and Judge McKeever,
ct al, to make any contribu-
tions, or that baseball as a sport
donate anything out of the funds
it has on hand.
Rather it is my belief that the
suggestion eventually will pay
the owners back many times
over; for whatever builds good
will must in the long run pay
dividends.
Therefore, I was thinking that
it would strike a popular chord
and be a most timely and most
logical thing, If at their schedule
meetings, the magnates would set
aside one day in their season OF
154 games on which some small

of this project that honors and
also pleases great President.
He probably would appreciate it
more than a gold season pass,
Judge, even though he is a real
fan and used to pitch some him.
self. And if professional baseball,
and all other sports, for that mat
ter, are not deeply interested in
the physical welfare Of the young
Sters of this country, then baseball
is not as good a game as you and
I think it is, Judge. Nor has it
any right to the title of national
pastime.

Here's what Prof. Coggins has
to say about the Italian athlete:
"When Len first came out
for the basketball team he was
a bit awkward, but developed
rapidly. Now he is a fine de-

held the high scoring 'Huck"

points"
Leonard played end on Centraps
championship football team and
was selected unanimously on the
Washington Times all-high team.
Great Receiver
He was considered one of the
best pass snatchers in the high
school ranks last season.
Young De Lisio comes from an
athletic family. His brother Ed
die, starring in basketball and
football at st. Johns College of
Annapolis, was all-high fullback
while attending Central several
years ago. He also played on Cen
trails five.
Incidentally, Len plans to enter

Suggesting Baseball
Contribute Its Bit

NEW YORK, Feb. Com
missioner Kenesaw Mountain
Lands,
333 Michigan Avenue,
,rs Chicago, Ill.
VI, Good morning, judge: Do you
know, Judge, until I typed your
address just now, I never realized
that you strike out oftener just
getting a letter than Joey Sewell
did all last season. I mean that
1888" business. That's a terrible
street number for a baseball
commissioner. Why don't you
move to 4444 and take a walk
for yourself some time?
Judge, I'm a-fiXin', as the folks
down home in Tennessee used to
say when you were a boy, to get
away from here for Florida right
soon now. I mention it because
it will no doubt be good news
that I won't be trying to run
your office for you for some time.
1t wasn't more than two or
three weeks ago that I was try
ing to get you to reinstate Joe
jackson, Hal Chase, Swede Ris-
berg and all that crew for what
you might call the duration,
meaning for the rest of their
natural lives. Their futures are
behind 'em as you know, so I
thought it might be a smart idea
for baseball to show it could be
charitable and forgiving, as well
as outraged and stern, in the
face Of a grave, though very
human mistake. You didn't think
so?
