HIS PLACE WAS IN THE SUN

Pinky sat out in the infield. where the full heat of the day poured down on him resting for the final. la fe " Officials, coaches and athletes advised him to move into the shade warning him against sunstroke. and telling him that he was broiling away his chances of winning. Pin Ky merely smiles his thanks for their kindly interest and remained if1 the sun.
 When the event was finally call ed he tiroxsily dragged himself to the starting line. The gun sent eight eager youngsters racing down the track. with Pinky bringing up the rear and apparently losing a great deal of ground with each stride.
 Coming into the final straight away with about 200 yards to go he trailed the leaders by 25 yards an almost unsurmpuntable handi- cap.
 Suddenly he came to life and with long powerful strides began to pick up the field. which then appeared to be standing. His very amazing drive carried him home a winner in the last step.
 Pinky was plenty shotp that af- ternoon for he set a new junior national record of 54 1-5 for the half mile.

CoughIin Flags Baruch
In Reply to Johnson

DETROIT, March IL Q.N.SO.
Declaring that the defects of the
New Deal are directly attributed
to Bernard M. Baruch and his
Wall Street associates. the Rev.
FIR. Charles E. Coughlin lashed
back at Gen. Hugh S. johnson,
whom he characterized as Baruch's
puppet who "strutted upon the
stage of this depression like a
comic.opera cream-puff general" ;"
in a 45-minute speech over a ma
tional radio network last night.
Speaks SarcasticaIly
Father Coughlin referred sar-
castically to General Johnson's
"underslung vocabulary" and as
serted the former NRA chief
never faced an enemy nor sue
ceSsfully faced an issue" The
highlights of his speech were:
/. Denial of charges that he
and Huey P. Long formed polit-
ical alliance, though Senator
Longs name was not mentioned.
2. Defended his citizenship.
3. Charged that Bernard M.
Baruch was General Johnson's
lord and master"
Hush Campaign
4. Declared he knew General
JohnSon's attack on him was the
beginning of a campaign to silence
his voice in public affairs.
S. Answered the charge that he
was a revolutionary by a declara-
ton that 80 were Washington
and jefferson in 1776."
6. Referred to General Johnson
as a "a red herring, but a dead
one, a cracked gramaphone, the
New Deals greatest casualty,
chocolate soldier and political
corpse whose ghost had returned
to haunt"
Defending his right, although
priest, to speak as an American
citizen, Father Coughlin said:
II am mindful that as q
The Washington times., 1935-03-12

"a man who never taced ar
enemy nor successfully faced an
issue" Father Coughlin declared
To-day he and the Wall
Street, who he represents, be-
come distOrters of history, per-
verters of logic as they, the un-
just aggreSSOrS, garb them
selves in the raiment Of patriot
ism and cast upon those who
have suffered from their mis-
deeds the scarlet cloak Of the
rebel"
Father Coughlin addressed him
self directly to General johnson:
"My dear General, I am as
much, il not more, of an Ameri-
can as you are or ever will be.
Your parents are but one gen.
Grafton removed from Ireland.
My paternal grandfather's bones
are buried in Lackawanna, New
York.
NEVER VOWED POVERTY
Secondly, you categOrically
accuse me of breaking the relig-
iouS VOW of poverty. The truth
is, as my religious superiOrs will
testify, 1 never made vow Of
poverty and therefore could
never break one. More than
that 1 never belonged to any
religious order although I was
associated with a group Of
priest whose lives we're dedi"
Gated to the teaching Of Ca
madam and American students"
Father Coughlin accused Gen
eral johnson of lnsinuating that
he was once accommodated by
the church for protecting 1.-THE
plundering BourbonS."
General Johnson's purpose, the
priest declared, was "to confuse
the people of my own faith"
RAPS "EXAGGERATIONS"
Father Coughlin asked Genera
Johnson:
what insanity possessed you
to say such things? What
desperation forced you to utter
such exaggerations?"
The priest said General John
son criticized him personally, but
mot once did you dare attack
the truths which I teach"
Father Coughlin, addressing
himself to General Johnson, de-
clared:
81 need not condemn you
before the court of public
opinion. You have condemned
yourself"
Calling upon his listeners to
bear no ill will against General
Johnson, he advised that the
general sis to be pitied and not
condemned" The priest said:
"He has been cast out by an
Administration because he and
his plans were failures. Thus,
as he appears before you on
future occasions, rem m ber

that he is to be regarded as a
cracked gramaphOne record,
squawking the messages of his
masters voice."
POLITICALLY DEAD"
Again addressing General John.
son directly, Father Coughlin
said:
whether you know it or not,
you are but a political corpse
whose ghost has returned to
haunt u.s."
although l believe that your
unquiet spirit will not rest in
peace, nevertheless, 1 still be-
lieve the ethical axiom-'de NOR
tuis nil nisi bOnum'-'Of the
dead let us speak kindly"
Replying to Gen. Johnson's
accusation that he plans to make
worthless money of nothing. the
priest declared he was crusading
for the common people before
Gen. johnson appeared on the
scene. He said:
"Why General, before your
name and underslung vOcabu-
larry became household words
in the nation these pioneer
associates of mine had been
fighting in the front trenches
against the enemies of the
New Deal, bearing its heaviest
burdens, carrying its heaviest
crosses"
MASTERS" BLAMED
General Johnson's master"
themselves are the ones who manu-
facture money out of nothing, the
priest said.
81 have advocated that the
Government employ this idle
gold and silver lin the Treasury
instead Of building up unpayable
debts to be shOuIdered by the
unborn children of future gener-
ations. You and your group
have been the inflationists, the
makers of money out of moth.

The Administrators plan to
put national bank notes out of cir
culation, Father Coughlin told
General johnson, is the answer
ito you and your false charges. I"
Father Coughlin reasserted his
faith in Mr.. Roosevelt.
"The fantastic fusillade Of
false charges which the genial
ghost, the kind chocolate soldier,
and the sweet prince of bonn
bast so engagingly rublicized,
certainly were not potent enough
to rouse my wrath. More i'm
pOrtant things must be accom-
pliShed. dare not be diverted
from my course by red her
ring, even though it chances to

pledge himself today to fostering

tion.wide movement to exterminate
the influence Of this pair OF po-
litical termites"-the Rev. Charles
E. Coughlin, Detroit's radio priest,
and Senator Huey Long CD OF
Louisiana.
The former recovery adminiStra-
tor made this offer-and some OF
his ,timates say this is his actual
intention since he is due to be
engaged as a radio broadcaSter by
a commercial concerr-in a pre-.
r%red statement issued here after
he heard the priests radio reply
to Johnson's recent broadcast. He
had described the priest and Long
as preaching revolutionary policies.
General johnson said:
ANY person who heard both
Of our speeches knows that he
(Ccughlin) made not one single
major conclusion that was not
based on absolute falsehood or
distortion IF what I said and I
will make this clear. Not one
single aspersiOn was made that
did not equally rest on false
hood"
PIOUS ELUB-DUG
johnson said as a Cracker
downer" Father Coughlin has me
backed off the board, and con-
tinued:
"After hearing his piOus flub-
dub and examining the most
recently modified insanities Of
the Louisiana Kingfish. l am
more than ever convinced that
this Pair of male sirens rank as
public political enemies num-
berS one and two. There's less
national harm in 100 worst gun
men than there is in these two
political racketeers."
johnson described as "the worst
and most deceitful part" of the
priests speech his attempt to say
his speech was an attack on the
Catholic church. The General
said:
High dignitaries of that
church knew about that speech
beforehand and they and many
others who knew about it since
have warmly approved it."
ALL SET FOR REPLY
He said he has received thou
sands of letters since his radio
attack on the priest and the
Senator from persons of every
creed and position.
"If they are any index there

sensible American opinion with
me in believing that the gospel
preached by these economic
shysters is q gospel that leads
away from recovery and prog
ress to disorder and anarchy
that their rose-painted plans,
If tried, would make even the
poorest citizen worse off, rather
than better, and beggars of us
all."
He dismissed the attacks made
upon him that he is "a tool Of
bankers and big business" by say
ing the way he "batted those
babies" around in NRA he is "less
popular with them than small
