LETTERS URGE
PAN-ANER|CAN
PEAC,EPACT
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service

Personal letters direct from
President Roosevelt were en- route
by air today to the heads Of all
nations of Central and South
America asking them to join with
this Government in establishing a
peace system to stand as an ex-
ample for the rest Of the world
to follow.
They were designed to sound
out the heads Of these republics
on the possibility Of holding q
Pan,American peace conference to
perfect machinery for the preSer-
vation of peace among the nations
Of the Americas.
Much SpadewOfk Done
Contents Of Mr.. RooSevelt's let
terS were peing withheld pending
their receipt in South America.
The letters do not contain an
actual invitation to q conference
here, it was learned, but rather
sound out the Latin American
governments on their attitude
toward such a conference.
It can further be revealed that
considerable spadework in this di-
rection already has been carried
out through diplomatic channels
and a favorabl- response received
from most of the principal ma
tions Of Latin America. However,
the reaction of all the Latin
American republics will be sought
before any date is set for the con-
ference.
Existing Facts Weak
Furthermore, it has not been
definitely decided to hold the con-
ference in Washington, despite
the fact that President Roosevelt
has taken the initiative in propos-
ing the conference. There is
reason to believe this Government
would prefer to have the confer
ence held somewhere in South
America.

perhaps his best. so far as fem

That man certainly can pick

also a long list Of principals, the
best Of which, perhaps, is the
dance duo Of Lester and Daniels,
who do some nifty tricks but

every afternoon in the Cafe Samo-

hour all standard cocktails are

play for dinner and supper.
The stage is all set for q gala
Valentine party down at the pop

will be many special attractions.
George Stein and his orchestra
supply the dance music, with Art

do not forget the big open fire

Griffs Forgotten
On Star Team

BOSTON, June 1S.-With but
two days to go before the polls
close in the nationwide public bal
loting on players for the all-star
game between National and Ameri-
can League teams, the makeup of
both sides today appeared def
nitely decided.
The voting deadline is June 20.
Official announcement Of the
squads is scheduled for June 27,
and the game will be played at
National League field here July 7.
The trend of ballots to date
made the following American
League squad almost a certainty:
Lou Gehrig, Yankees, first base !:
Charley Gehringer, Tigers, second
base; Luke Appling, White soX'
shortStop: Jimmy Dykes, White
Sox, third base; Joe Dimaggio
Yankees, left field; Earl Averlll,
Cleveland, center field; Mule
Haas, White Sox, right field;
Manager Mickey Cochrane, Tigers
and Bill Dickey, yam KEGS,
Catchers; Lefty Grove, Red Sox,
Lefty" Gomez, Yankees, Monte
Pearson, Yanks, and "Schoolboy''
Rowe, Tigers, pitchers.
The National League lineup was
almost as certain except for the
center field berth where Wallie
Berger, Of the Boston Bees, was

WPA Nine Wins
Over AAA

The WPA nine continued to hold
first place in the Herald Govern
ment League yesterday by defeat
ing AAA, IA to 1, on the South
Ellipse.
Lee Raiford and Andy GleeSon
proved the heroes yesterday, as
the former, left-hander allowed
the AAA nine only two hits. Glee-
son carried off the batting honors
by getting three hits out Of four
times at bat.
Tomorrow the WPA nine travels
to Fort EustiS, Va, where they
will play the CCC boys two games.
A big time is expected as the
CCC boys are putting on boxing
show and a band concert for the
visitors.

deal Of money-although Pro-
moter Jacobs is -omewhat non
plusSed by the number Of both.
He thought it would do q mil
lion dollars when he made the
fight. but something happened
or better still, not enough hap
pened-in the meantime.
Sctmeling, a Seven-weekS condi.
toner with a degree of health so
palpable that it almost hurts to
look at it. is to motor down from
his training camp at Napanoch,
N. Y, in time to arrive about
noon. State police and his camp
attaches will see that the right
of-way is kept clear.
The black man, Louis, will
come in from Lakewood, N. j..
at the same time and they'll be
herded into the New York Hippo
drome for the weighing in, an
official but needless gesture.
Schmeling, as is well known.
will weigh around 1872, heavier
than for his other American
fights but accounted for by the
fact that he has now reached the
Staid, athletically "Sedentary"
age Of 80. Louis, only %, has a
great, but aforementioned ad-
vantage in this connection. He
will weigh around 200, in case
it matters.
Lost Magic Touch?
OF more Importance Is the fact
that the black man seemed to
have lost the magic touch Of his
timing at Lakewood and was un-
impressive, sometimes to the
point Of Illustration. Moreover, he
is meeting a bobber and weaver
for the first time, although that
point seems Of doubtful value,
There were hired help in Louis
camp who bobbed better than
Schmeling can and will.
Therefore, the general eXpecta-
tion that the German is to take
his place in the grim file Of the
condemned - from Camera to
Baer to Paulino-would seem to
be sustained by logic. After all
the German made a bad fight
against Shafkey here four years
ago; was knocked out by Baef
three years ago and his victories
over Hamas, Neusel and Pauline
aboard were not impressive.
And, when one gets right down
to it, the thing must always come
back to this:
TWO good hands against one.
TWO great feet against mona !

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. S U.N.SO.
The sacred Carlo set has been
crashed and Hollywood is chuck
ling over the episode.
Where dozens Of others have
failed, a 10-yearold boy succeeded
in eluding watchful studio guards
and in reaching the presence OF
the star herself.
His name is Martin Spellman.
and he lives in Los Angeles.
Martin made his first visit to
Metro oldwyn-Maye by hitch
hiking to Culver City and climb
ing over one Of the back fences,
carrying two canvas sacks filled
with magazines.
Dodging a policeman at the en-
trance, he slipped into stage 81
and found himself on the Ca
mile" set. The door of a dressing
room was open, so he walked in.
"Buy a magazine, lady?" he
asked the surprised occupant.
Carlo, smiling a little, asked:
aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid Of what?" asked Mar
tin.

boys are not permitted"
Nav, I amt afraid"
'Then, you don't know who I
am, do you?

Carlo bought a magazine. Fur

Director George Cukor, and watch
