Cochrane Is Certain
Tigers Will Regain
Vigor Come July 4

E>VEN though he could not believe his
- ears, the reporter felt that he had
something for which to be thankful.
He rendered thanks for not having to
believe such an diversified set of Jugs
as those which waved In front of him,
and returned resolutely to his task.
'Don't," he coaxed the gentleman,
you mean Christmas? You know
that's the day when Santa Claus comes
along. Maybe he could unload you a
few such knick-knacks as third base
man who could hit or an outfielder who
could field. From what I've seen of
this outfit of yours, you certainly could
use something like that, and the
quicker you get 1t the BETTER"
The gentleman did not witch an ear
at such bIasphemy. He had been bal
ancing his weight on his left foot, so
as to provide some solace for bruised
right instep. Now, while he repeated
the words which had caused all the
trouble, he shifted back to the right dog
again. The reporter noted this effort
to ease the ache of Ieft-leg charley
horse.
Maybe we can settle on Labor day,

mean"
"sure, Know" persisted the re-
porter. "What you're getting at Is
that you want to prove your patriot
ism. But just because those loving
cups Of yours start Hopping around
like a couple of May Day banners
every time you get burned up about
what has been happening lately is no
excuse for going to extremes. Why,
even the Hearst papers wouldn't take
you for Red just because your ears
get that way when"
There was a wistful look in the eye
of the gentleman who now was fon-
ding three big black bats. The reporter
understood that, too.
"Hnnh," he said. So you're Just a
great big boy, are you? All you want
Is the noise and the excitement. Well,
all I've got to say is that the way that
big Rowe blew up In the first frame
today and the way that Lawson fizzled
like a Roman candle and the way
some of those other birds have been
blasted lately, you should already be
having all the fireworks you want.
Why"
Nevertheless" said the gentleman.
Fourth of July is the day and" Che
waved a bat invitingly) "if you would
like to debate the subject any longer,
there is"
But there are some ideas the report
er could get even if it was only one
of the Dodgers up there swinging. He
hereby passes along the word that
July 4 is the day on which the Tigers
will resume their pennant progress.
Also he desists from the writing of
Sanskrit to inform the world that this
information comes direct from the lips
Of Mickey Cochrane.

Simmons Potential Power
Is Reason for Prediction

incidentally, the full facts Of the
case indicate that the Detroit leader
has some very good reasons for setting
this beated date for the return to
form of the team that had been ex-
pected to romp through the American
league race. BY that time Schoolboy
Rowe may be pitching In the manner
to which he once was accustomed. Tom
my Bridges may have overcome the
tough luck which Is besetting him.
Hank Greenberg may be avenging his
broken bones by breaking down enemy
fences and there may be other success
angles far more important than the
fact that the 1885 and 1896 winners
did not do their best until mid-seascn.
One Of these angles could concern Al
Simmons. Until the Tigers tackled the
Athletics recently, AL was going along
in fair fashion. Then, because the
fans who once cheered him so heartily
now bOoed him with equal vigor, he
frightened up while striving to obtain
hits. The result was that the big
fellow, who should be driving in 100
runs a season and making up for the
absence of Greenberg, continually left
runners stranded on base in time of
need.

cording to the report, the resettlement

lions on 8,469,0OO acres, costing $780,
344,000 had become legal commitments.

Tugwell's Housing Hit
bv Court Decision

THE resettlement administration
L headed by Rexford Guy Tugwell
was declared by the District Of Co
lumbia court Of appeals to be "clear-
ly unconstitutional delegation of pow
en-" in a case involving model COM
munity project in Somerset county,
New Jersey.
Going beyond the issue before them,
the justices Of the Appeals court
called the entire relief appropriations
act Of 1885 into question. The act was
invalid and hence RA was invalid, ac-
cording to the court. Legally, however,
none Of the rest Of the act will be
affected by the decision because the
other multitudinous activities Of the
New Deal under the appropriation
were not before the court.
Solicitor Gen. Stanley Reed said an
appeal would be taken to the Supreme
court at once.

Uncle Sam Stands by
Nine Power Pact

OWCk dSl
NEWS that Japan was greatly en-
" larging her force in North China
led the State department in Washing
ton to announce that the position of
the United States is the same as that
outlined last December by Secretary
Hull affirming its support Of the nine
power pact that guarantees China's ter
ritorial integrity. At that time Mr.. Hull
said this country has a binding faith
in the fundamental principles Of its
traditional policy. This government
adheres to the provisions of the
treaties to which 1t is party and
continues to bespeak respect by all ma
lions for the provisions of treaties SOL
EMMY entered into for the purpose Of
facilitating and regulating, to recip-
rocal and common advantage.
At the State department 1t was said
that the reafirmation Of support Of the
nine power pact does not mean that
the administration will abandon its pol.
icy Of declining to take the initiative
in any attempt to curb Japan for vio-
lations of the pact. This was at
tempted by Henry L. Stimson, secre-
tary Of state in the Hoover admins
tration, with the gain Of nothing but
Japanese Ill will.
japanese military strength in North
China south Of the Great Wall is now
said to be fully $4,000 men. There are
about $4,000 more in Manchukuo and
still others in Inner Mongolia.

this defeat calmly. He gave out state

nipulating the votes of colored citizens

Ohio Democrats polled about 100000
votes in the primary, nearly 100000
more than the Republicans, and they
expressed their preference for Mr..

renominated Gov. Martin L. Dayey,

Initiation Bill Defeated
hv the House

WYE ARE not going to have any cur
w rency imitation, at least before
next session of congress. The Frazier
Lemke farm mortgage refinancing bill,
dragged out of committee by petition
signed by 21S house members, and then
holly debated for a day, was defeated
by the decisive vote Of 235 to 142. The
bill called for the printing of three bill
lion dollars for its financing.
The petition signers included 159
Democrats, and before the vote every
one of them was told by Pat Boland
of Pennsylvania, the party whip, that
the President didn't want the measure
passed at this time and that If the
member voted for the bill 1t would be
just too bad for him. Besides this po-
tent argument the Democratic leaders
induced President William Green Of
the American Federation Of Labor to
intervene and he called together the
federation's executive council and had
1t write letter saying it was opposed
to the bill because of the imitation fea-
ture.

he hoped the war debt "misunderstand-

PAY BILL, HE SHOUTS
By LESLIE EICHEL
CentraJ Prose- Staff Writor

New York, March SIT begins to
look as if President Roosevelt made a
master move in forcing the taxation
issue on Congress now.
Congress had begun veering in all
directions.
1t had passed the bonus bill over
a presidential veto.
It had agreed that the farm bill to
take the place of the invalidated AAA
must be passed.
1t had thought of doing nothing in
regard to taxes Ito pay the cost and
in regard to relief until after election.
The President, in demanding that
Congress find the new taxes, and at
the same time in trimming the ma
tional budget, has pulled the chair
from under Republican critics-for
the time being.
Yes, he not only Is willing to pay
as we go, but demands it.
And will the Republicans vote for
the new taxes? Well, they voted for
the bonus and they favor bounties to
the farmers.
Yes, they will have to swallow the
taxes And if they blame the Presi-
dent, they may lose votes where they
need votes
Furthermore, the taxes to which
they will be forced to assent undoubt-
edly will be on big corporations
