After more than six months of exhaustive tests and experiments, Sir Malcolm Campbell is prepar- ing to take another fling, his fifth, at the automobile speed record on the beach at Daytona, Florida.
 He is convinced that his four and-one- -half-ton super streamlined Blue Bird is capable of bettering his own record of PIP miles an hour-and believes it might even reach the 300 mile mark. Whether or not he reaches 300 miles depends entirely on the con- dition of the Daytona sand strip and the length of the run avail able
 Two runs, one each way. are made in the record attempts. A nine mile strip of beach was used in 1883 to set the present mark of PIP miles an hour Two addi- tional miles have been cleared for the new trial but even that does not bring it up to the distance Campbell would like to have. | Mere Elbow Room He feels it will take run of seven clear miles before the car reaches it's maximum speed. Ob- viously with the additional meas ured mile for checking the record taken off, the remaining three miles would hardly be enough to bring the roaring racer to a stop.
 Even in his fiftieth year the worlds ace speed driver isn't giv- ing any though to retiring.
 A fatalist, like so many of the racing brethren, Sir M lc olm Campbell would chuck it all'' if he ever felt even the slightest bit fearful about the dangers in- herent to automobile racing.
 He once said You can get killed just as completely at 175 miles an hour as at 300"
 His hope is that he may not die in bed. When his time comes he hopes to be in the cockpit of his racing car-and about TO years old
 During his career Campbell has had many miraculous escapes and has seen many Of the worlds most daring drivers crash to death some when in actual competition with them. ,lM 3a Z Would Cement Friendship
 Sir Malcolm has the highest re- gard for American institutions and says he comes over here as much to aid in cementing the friendly relations already existing as for any other reason.
 Next to his love for speed and adventure. his ruling passion is desire for a strong Anglo-Ameri- can alliance. It is his favorite topic in his frequent speeches at luncheons and banquets. He could easily spend the rest of his life crusading for that end if need be, .he says.
 He disiiked the fuss we made on

the occasion of his last previous visit, but submitted graciously to it-especially after he was told that it was an American custom He made himself popular with the newspapermen and press photo graphers in Florida by his unfail- ing good nature under barrages of requests for interviews and pho- tographs, even when he had much weightier matters on his mind
 Courteous, with a keen sense Of humor, his favorite pastime is telling jokes on his own ancestry, the Scotch. He is easily one of the most popular British sportsm. n ever to visit our shores.

MRS. LAvE-N|k LEADS ALL PIN ! STARS IN SCORE
Woman Bowler Has 549 Count Last Night at Tan-
 anas Beat Coppers

Every so often it happens, this business of a woman leading all the bowlerS at E.ks Alleys for one nights competition. That is what happened last night as the Alaska Rivers League went through its paces, with Mrs. Martin Lavenik heading the individual scoring parade by 549 score.
 Mrs. Lavenik bowled for the Tananas, who nosed out the Cop pers in a thrilling match, 2 to 1. Right at Mrs. Lavenik's heels was Mrs. M. Williams of the losing Coppers. She had a 538 count. 1 Sandwiched in between those two for high score, was the best man bowler of the evening, Fred Henning of the Takus. Henning claimed 540-pin total to aid his club in another close 2-to-1 decis- ion. The Stikines, who lost out only in the final game, were the victims.
 The third contest last night found the KuskokN.ns defeating the Nushagaks, 2 to 1.
 There will be no bowling to- night at Elks Alleys.

although checked to but five mar kers, put up nice game for the Bremen.
 Moose Beaten
 The opener saw the strong George Brothers five massacre the hapless Moose, 67 to 26. The op- ener also found "sure-shot" Bob McPhee ringing the gong for ex- actly 31 points. This phenomenal total gave him the second half individual scoring championship, although final figures on this tab ulation will not be released until tomorrow Claude Erskine also moved into good position in the individual score table by collect ing 2l points.
 The winner finished the second half in triple tie for third place with the Juneau Bremen and the Douglas Bremen.
 McPhee's high score, incident ally, did not break his seasonal one-game record of 42 points made against the Moose during the first half of the schedule Neither did it better the 32-point second-best one-game high record held by Kinky Bayers of the De- Molays, also made against the Moose during the first half.

WAsHINGToN. MAY 1.-According to semi
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINIMS :

XXTASHINGTON. May 1.-According to semi
w Official news sources of a neutral country,
Germany has Offered" Lithuania to Poland in
exchange for the Polish Corridor and Danzig.
Lithuania, Of course. does not belong to Ger
many nor does Danzig belong to Poland. But
Chancellor Hitlers land, sea and air armament
program is said to be terrifcally handicapped
because of the Corridor. A swap would greatly
strengthen Hitlers hand
The ancient Hanseatic port and Bay Of Dan
zig with the nearby fortified camp Of Konigs-
berg are vitality needed to further the NaziS
army and navy plans. But as long as Danzig
is a free city and East Prussia is separated from
the rest of Germany by alien territory known
as the Polish Corridor, their use will remain
strictly limited.
Berlin, therefore, is reliably reported to have
proposed to Warsaw the exchange Of Mcneil and
Iithuania for DanZig and the Corridor Poland
would be compensated for the magnificent new
port of Gdynia which she has constructed in the
last few years.
DOLAND is said to have refused Germany
L any encouragement. She is aware however,
that more than once she and Germany have
been on the edge of war over the Corridor since
the war treaties gave her that outlet to the
sea- But it would likely require war to put the
deal across-even if Poland were otherwise
willing. And Poland does not want war.
The Poles however look upon LlthuanlanS
as brothers who have merely strayed from the
family circle Marshal Pil5udski, Polish hero
and dictator is of that stock, his ancestry 60
ing back to the Lithuanian princes of Ginet.
He himself was born at wilma, which city Gen.
Zeligowski and $4,000 Polish soldiers seized in
1920 and annexed to Poland
Since then Lithuanian relations have
been strained almost to the breaking point.
For years they were close to war. For centuries
Wilma had been regarded as Lthuania's tradi-
tional capital-and still is, although the geog-
raphes now place it in Poland.
But Pomerania (the COrridor) is Polish to
the core historically and even if the swap could
be made without bloodshed, Poland would
scarcely use her Pomeranian brothers to buy
her Lithuanian kin back into the fold.
n EENIEL was part of East Prussia up to 1919.
IVl Lithuania was one of Russas Baltic
provinces. The treaty at Versailles took Memel
from Prussia, and Soviet Russia recognized the
independence of Lithuania. Memel became its
port
Chancellor Hitler has made no secret OF the
fact that mis- eyes are toward the East. Russia
fears aggression in the direction of Lithuania,
along the Baltic and in the Ukraine. Moscow
believes one of the NaziS main objects in build
ing new navy is to control the Baltic. In
anticipation, Russia has strengthened Kronstadt
and Leningrad and is planning new warships.
Abolition of the Polish Corridor by diplomacy
or otherwise is regarded as imperative to con-
solidate Germanys position in the North Sea
and the Baltic. Weakness either east or west OF
the Danish peninsula would be fatal in war
with sea power.

body and mind. But until it sets about to
provide the least Of them wholesome food. edu-
cation. play space. sanitary home and medical
care it has not even begun to try.
The New Deal Administration has sought
70 meet its obligation in childhood's darkest
days. It's NRA codes have taken at least
l5OOOO child wage-earners from mines, mills
and factories. It's spokesman have urged un-
willing states to write ban on child labor into
the Constitution by raufying the Twentieth
Amendment.
OF nine titles in its social security pro-
gram six are devoted to the health and vel
fare of children. Its public works program
will touch most Of the 100000 children whose
parents are on relief. With industry and the
localities cooperating. these measures can be
translated into strong bones, tough muscles,
active brains and youthful laughter.
Some day. perhaps. every child will greet
this month by romping meath the waving
green of blithesome May" Until then We
must have child health days. as President
Roosevelt urges, ito awaken the people" to
the cry of the undernourished and underprivi-
legged children in their midst.

JUST AN ILLUSION

VOU can not talk very long about our
chances for staying out of this next war"
that everybody seems to be expecting without
ringing in at least few echoes from the last
one.
What happened between 1914 when the
European war started, and 1917, when we
finally got into it, is not entirely clear even
today. But it is about all we have to go on
when We try to forecast the future, and it
has a way of horling in on al our arguments.
One is reminded of it by some speeches
made the other evening before the Foreign
Policy Association in New York There was
a round table discussion of the war-and-peace
problem, and a lawyer named Frederic R.
Coudert expressed himself as follows:
Il disagree with the assumption that war
is most terrible thing. The people Of this
country will not be satisfied to preach neu-
trality rights, to keep their flag off the high
seas. They will want to know if there is
moral question involved in the war.
They viii prefer to take part in the war
if it is against a brutal aggressor They are
12O,OOO0OO energetic idealists who will not shut
themselves up lest they be drawn into a war
but will take sides undeterred by fear of war"
With the statement that we will want to
know if there is a moral question involved in
the next war there can be little quarrel. The
only trouble with it is that you so often can't
be sure about thing like that until some 20
years afterward.
If you will cast your mind back to 1917,
you will recall that we had not the slightest
doubt at that moment, that there was a ire
mendous moral issue at state. Freedom, de-
mocracy, civilization itself-they all hung in
the balance, and if we did not go forth to
fight for them they were apt to be lost.
So, as you remember, we did go forth to
fight, and the cause with which we sided won
as overwhelming victory as the history of
warfare records.
So what? So freedom, democracy, and all
the rest were preserved and made forever
secure? Just wherein Italy, in Germany, in
Russia in Poland, in Yugoslavia-or where?
The bright moral issues of 1917 don't look
as clear now as they once looked. We may
be 100000 900 energetic idealists, but we might
be better off today if we had been just a bunch
of suspicious cynics
And that's the trouble. Go around looking
for moral issues in the midst of a great war
and you lay yourself wide open to the sale of
gold brick.
The one great lesson of 1917 is that if we
are to protect our neutrality we must start
long before the shooting actually begins.

MAY DAY

THE first Of May, once holiday for spring
festivities, pagan pageantry and dancing
about the maypole in the Strand, has become
an occasion when radical workers parade their
wrongs through the streets.
Too often men have betrayed the days
merry spirit by acts of repression, violence and
even bloodshed.
America has nothing to fear from open
peaceful demonstrations. So long as radical
ism parades or speaks from stump and rostrum
it is not dangerous. Drive it to cellars with
gas bombs and night sticks and it becomes
dangerous.
May Day should demonstrate that Amer
lea is not a land of oppression. Every denial
Of the constitutional right of tree assemblage,
free petition, free speech and free press puts
a weapon in the hands of revolutionists The
authorities will be wise if they allow the free
est expression of opinion today.
With widespread want and insecurity still
within its borders, America can not this year
recapture the joys of the old May Days. But
it can keep the day free of hate and violence.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-05-01

analysis this may be a fact, yet the
psychological trend today leads one
to conclude that truth is largely re-
Sponsible for crime. For to retaliate
has been mans greatest blunder.
The coward who refuses to strike
back is despised by the mob. This
atavistic tendency is manifest both
by the individual and the state.
Parents who tell their children
the truth about society lower the
child's opinion of all our institu-
tions. The preacher who acquaints
his congregation with the hypocrisy
within the narrow confines in which
he moves, creates a burning indig-
nation in the righteous person.
What line of business is free from
the stigma Of graft?. Banking has
been likened to the money changers
in the temple whom Christ drove
into the street with a lash. The
government itself falls short in the
estimation of the man who is in
formed by the statesman that war
is game of the munition manu-
facturerS, and soldiers merely pawns
sacrificed in the interest of profit.
The wave Of crime is a wave of
retaliation, and to cure it, we must
either suppress truth or build
structure man can respect.

LET'S TEST OURSELVES

A N intelligence test to determine the fitness
N of state and national legislators is pro-
posed in the current issue of The Zion Herald,
Methodist weekly.
It's sound idea, as far as it goes; but
why not go farther and have similar test for
us voters as we'll? For when all is said and
done, these legislators-and some of them are
pretty sad-looking specimens were elected
by us.
We looked them over, listened to what they
had to say, and gave them their jobs
Strange when you stop to think about it:
we are almost unanimous in berating the
stupidity and the chicanery of Congress and
Legislature-but we never stop to think that
congressman and legislators are direct refiec-
tons of ourselves.
We put them where they are; if we're so
smart, why don't we put better men in their
places?

THE SOUTHPORT TANGLE

GLENN CURTIS Of Martinsville has turned
" down the contract offered him TO become
the principal Of Southport High School and
any one who has any conception Of the South
port Juror can not help but feel that Mr.. Curtis
is the innocent bystander" who has been hurt
the most.
Mr.. Curtis is an able basketball coach who
is an even more able school administrator he
Is the principal of the Martinsvile High School
and his work there has resulted IN one oil the
lowest per capita pupil rates in Indiana.
Ne has an excellent course Of study Tor all
his pupils and all Martinsville long has been
aware of his talents as a principal and school
executive. Mr.. Curtis loves good basketball
and he has elected to handle the basketball
affairs of his school. He has turned out many
champion and the name of Glenn Curtis has
become synonymous with great basketball
teams
When Trustee Leonard A. Hohlt of South
mort signed to a contract Janis P. 'HunK
Francis and then announced he had onered
contract to Mr. Curtis, Southport parents ana
indianapolis parents, too, sadly arrived at the
conclusion that perhaps Trustee Hohlt was
irving to improve Southport OdSAeUOa4A '0"'
From Glenn Curtis standpoint OF course
nothing was further from the truth Mr. Cur
it's was considering the Southport position as
= school administrative post and yesterday ait
ernoon when he announced he could not sign
the contract in view of the existing cncum-
stances. observers felt that the MartnsVlLe
educator had suffered a grievous wrong.
Glenn Curtis is a scholar and gentleman.
Nartinsville can we'll be proud OF him. Inc
pity OF the whole situation is that MS repuVa-
ton as a basketball coach has grown greater
than his fame as an educator. His talents are
not truly appreciated.

TO END HITCH-HIKING

ME Pennsylvania state highway patrol has
declared war on the hitch-hiker. Capt.
Wilson G. Price announces at Harrisburg that
any one caught thumbing a ride in Pennsyl-
wanna hereafter will he jailed and fined, and he
adds:
"A hitch-hiker and panhandler are the
same, except that the panhandler whines for
dime and the hitch-hiker wants a ride that
is often worth a $40 bill"
This stand may seem little harsh, but
there are plenty Of motorists who will applaud
it. For. when all is said and done, the aver
age hitch-hiker has colossal nerve.
AS Capt. Wilson remarks, he is pam
handler on big scale. 1t is hard 70 feel very
indignant over plan to squelch him.

TURNING THE HEAT ON
MIR. LOUIS LUDLOW

By L. Reed.
Mr.. Ludlow brought up the ques-
ton of looks and physical attributes
in speaking in great contempt, Of
"Beardless Boys"
Mr.. LudloW's personal appearance
and public behavior are at least de-
batable. I am guided by the car
toon published some time ago in The
Times. 1t must have been fair
sketch, as Mr.. Ludlow wrote
thank-you letter to the paper about
it. The pictorial Mr.. Ludlow stood
down in one corner of the picture
the corner to the left, where the eye
is supposed to first light.
The Hon. Mr.. Ludlow stood some
what toed-in, but he did take
stand-in the picture-and waved a
flag against war, about which it is
safe to take high moral ground, at
least for time.
He struck me as in need of a shave,
but overlook that, as a man who
has come out strongly for boards
naturally would want to get per-
oOAAo4 OAAO eN~4J 1 WIZ ACohC ~
to any good city or country town
tailor that his pants-I refer to the
pants in the picture-were too short.
Mr.. Ludlow also falls a little short
of lot of questions but not on those
concerned with the idea of classy
righteousness for the masses, which
prevail for the moment and on
which you will find Mr.. Ludlow
striking while the iron is hot. He
looks over his specs, in the cartoon,
with diSapproval at drink, bank
robbing and war. He will never be
found taking sides with kidnapers
or home wreckers. As a man who
takes a firm toed-in stand on the
matters affecting the morals of the
f1reside, Mr.. Ludlow is the top.
AS a loyal, intellectual, alert, keen
minded statesman, seeking to up
hold the government and the will
Of his constituents, he is the abso-
lutte bottom.
