He was born and reared in Baltf-
more, attended Princeton univer-
sity, later taking his doctOrate in
theology. In his earlier years he
was a teacher and evangelist in
China and it is understood that this
experience has made him particu-
larly effective in the peace and
regeneration activities in China.

Soviet Liquidator.
TN ONE way, at least, Soviet Rus
l STA is like traditional America.
The postmaster is the patronage
dealer. Nikolai Ivanovich Yezhov,
receiving the order of Lenin after
his management Of the recent "liq-
uidations," has three-fold office
which includes control Of posts and
telegraphs, the selection Of person
mel for important posts and COM
mand of the secret political police.
He is regarded as second only to
Stain in power and the prevailing
conjecture among many observers
is that he may be Stalin's sue
cessOr.
His predecessors in Office were
grim, scowling men. He was elevat-
ed in September, 1886, with national
acclaim as ga man who knows how
to smile" Forty-two years old, he
has been tagged by the correspond
ents as a mystery man." just now
unveiled by the newspapers as a
handsome, personable citizen who
looks as if he had just been picking
daisies, rather than doing rush
job Of "liquidating."
He is certified proletarian, a
factory worker at fourteen and mil
itary commissioner with various
Bolshevik units in the revolution. In
1929 and 1890 he was vice-commis-
sioner of agriculture, and in 1894
became a member Of the central
committee Of the Communist party
and of the powerful party control
commission.
But, for the most part, he has
worked quietly behind the scenes,
rarely seen, saying little, adroitly
gathering strands of power. His con-
troll of posts and telegraphs dates
from 1928, his other offices having
been added later. He is one Of the
party's five secretaries and can
didate for membership in the Po-
ltburo, the high peak Of power in
the party organization.

WHO'S NEWS
THIS WEEK..

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Spiritual Salesman Aids the Ok
ford Movement.
NEW YORK.-Word keeps drift
y ing into this Office that the Ok
ford movement is gaining m0men-
tum in the trouble zones Of labor,
diplomacy and incipient war and
carnage. The story persists that it's
emissaries, having converted pow
erful Chinese, brought about the res
cue of Chang Kai-Shek when he
was kidnapped and prevented civil
war; that their followers now in
clude high officials Of Japan and
that they are working zealously, and
with hopes of success, to calm the
quarrel between China and Japan.
No verifcation as to specific &C.
complishment can be obtained, but
this writer is reliably informed that
they have enlisted powerful political
and business leaders in Europe and
the Orient and that they are con-
centrating on certain dangerous
situations.
Frankly, they are evangels to the
rich and powerful, as they say the
hope of the world lies in inducing
spiritual change in those who own
and operate it. That possibly may
60 into the files of history as some
thing new.
In the news this week is the Rev.
Samuel Moor Shoemaker, who has
been taking over in America as DR..
Frank N. D. Buchanan, founder Of
the movement, is busy with the
world organization. In London, he
is prominent in the proceedings Of
the convocation Of 400 Oxford move
ment leaders in thirty-five countries.
From the conference come stories
of employers and labor leaders
making concessions under the lead
ership Of the Christian revolution
aries" and averting strikes.
DR.. Shoemaker is pastor of CAL
vary Protestant Episcopal church of
New York. For the last few years
he has been preaching that the old
evangelism had failed and that a
new dynamic creed was necessary.
He became active in the Oxford
movement in 1882, since then a
vigorous expounder Of it's faith.
He insists that only by an en-
Ightened and aggressive rnobiliza-
ton Of spiritual forces can civiliza-
ton be saved. He is good looking,
highly urbanized cleric, usually
wearing a modish gray business
suit. He calls himself Spiritual
salesman" This might convey the
erroneous idea that he is an Elmer
Gantry." He is quite the contrary,
never seeking personal publicity,
and building a reputation as one of
the church's leading scholars, with
his authorship Of nine books in the
Acid Of religious research and
polemics.

McNeill. the Oklahoma City lad, who
scared Won Cramm. and Robert Har-
man of Oakland, Calf.
OF this group only Hunt and Cum
inggim were left when the some-
what scrambled program was re-
sumed today, but the others all left
their calling cards. Heldman,
loose -limbed left-handef who gave
Johnny Van Ryn terrific five-set
battle in an early round, particularly
made an impression on the so-called
experts. He, like Hunt and Bobby
Riggs, is former junior champion.

Jump right up among the big fell
lows. He was ranked only eleventh
nationally last year, but his showing
in the present championships, cli-
NAKED by his thrilling stand against
Won Cramm yesterday, is likely to
lift him to fifth place this season.
The German needed every particle of
his speed and guile to outscore the
Kansas City star.
Cuninggim is almost unknown In
his home country, but has developed
sound game while attending uni
versity in England the last two years.
He plays postponed match today with
Charlie Hare. the British Davis cup
per, and if he wins will bump into
Riggs in the quarter-fin tomorrow.
The outstanding tussle today ap-
peared to be that between the two
former "boy wonders" Sidney Wood.
jr., and Frankie Parker. NOBODY has
given Sidney much thought lately. He
hasn't been playing any tennis to
speak OF and apparently entered the
championships more for a lark than
anything else, but his game has sur
prised everybody. including Sidney.
He still has perhaps the most beauti-
fully fluent strokes In the business
and the weight he has taken on since
he stopped campaigning seriously has
added smoke to his fast ball.

INSERTED as the second period
started, Guepe opened I'D with an
l8-yard punt return, wiggled SO wards
on tackle slice before being dropped
from behind by Ray Nolting's fying
tackle on the 4-yard stripe and
then came back minutes later with an
eye-filling, 24-yard gallop for the lone
touchdown.
Again in the third period he speared
one OF Slingin' Sam Baugh's 20-yard
darts. This time Beattie Feathers
Bear halfback, brought Guepe to his
Knees on the pros 7-yard marker
A steady drizzle barely bothered
Baugh, for he also found Bud Will

yard pass the big back carried 30
yards more.
1t was Baugh's 60-yard quick kick

Joe was supposed to be on the nights

Baer. frightened Levinsky half to
death and flattened Pauline with
one punch. But the legend of his
super-Quality as fighter is dying
hard-and rises to plague him when
he fails to catch a Pastor or knock
out Farr.
The one thing that most of the
critics agree upon is that he is a
one-track fighter, equipped to slaugh-
ter a slow-moving opponent who
goes to him or, if he retreats, re-
treats in straight line, but is at his
worst with an opponent who bobs and
weaves, runs or otherwise makes a
moving target of himself. Joe COM

by what appears TO be mis-
N leading score, Coach Ray
Flaherty today saw plenty
work ahead for his Washington Red
skins despite their 50-to-0 rout of
the American Legion All-Stars at
Frederick yesterday.
The closest Flaherty would come to
expected praise in view of such a score
in their 1887 debut was that the 1895
Eastern champions of the National
Foot Ball League looked pretty good
at times" But" he hastily added,
I'VE really couldn't tell. The opposi-
tion was so Unexpectedly weak and so
ill-organized that its imperfection had
an effect on the Redskins. Most of
| our llneSmen were pulling out of po-
sition before the ball was snapped and
because we didn't need much of it we
could tell only little about our block
ing.
We certainly need more finesse and
that's what we're going to work on
this week Next Monday night we're
bound to run into great deal more
opposition when We play at New Will
mington, Del. Until then, we'll have
to content ourselves with what we
learn in our own back yard, for we
didn't learn much yesterday"
Blocking Drill Planned.
FOR the rest of the week Flaherty
plans plenty practice on blocking
and running back punts. At present
1t looks as if the squad will hold only
one more scrimmage before it opens
against the New York Giants one
week from Thursday. That scrim-
mage will come this Thursday, the
weekly scrimmage due tomorrow being
postponed day because of yester-
days game
Although his generalities were rather
debating, Flaherty had praise for. sew
eral individuals who distinguished
themselves in yesterdays seven-touch-
down victory. Cliff Battles. whom
many proclaim the best running back
on the squad, looked great, twice run
ming more than as yards with inter-
cepted passes for the first two touch

gained coming via the aerial route.
