Keeping Quiet Might Help.

EVENTUALLY, with the cooling of
his rage, was forthcoming from
Grif a theory on Mr.. Newsom's case,
and others similar to it. If Blushing
Buck only knew it, he is helping his
campaign for a shift of scenery far
more by keeping quiet than by broad
casting as he did month ago. The
Old Fox was explaining his viewpoint
today.
81 will not say that I won't
trade Newsom," he said. .Tu
|. trade anybody on the bail club
II the right proposition is made.
Newsom might yet be traded,
but only II he keeps quiet. In
short, won't trade player who
tries to dictate q policy to the
club owners.
IF Newsom should be a holdout,
f'rinstance, wouldn't trade him un-
der any condition. Why, that would
be setting fine example for the rest
of the ball players. All one of them
would have to do, in case he is dis
contented, is to hold out, and, presto,
the club owner would trade him.
II never put Newsom on the block
at New York. The offer for him came
from Mickey Cochrane. After Buck
did that phoning, though, he was
more closely knit to the Washington
club than ever. He's the kind Of q
guy want to keep and teach q les
son. Treated unfairly, huh?"

might have trouble with Joe Di Maggie,
Who put in a bid for 10000, compared
with the s8500 he was reported to have
received for 1886. However. the word
Is that Joe settled for something be-
tween Sl3,500 and $4,000.
Outflelder Jake Powell, batting hero
OF the world series, and Pitcher Red
Rufing, who received some $4,000
for his fine 1886 season, are possible

Washington also is having smooth
sailing despite a threatened protest
from Jimmy De Shong.
Brooklyn can look for trouble from
Van Mungo, who insists he won't set
tie for less than $4,000 and is getting
ready for long fight. This figure
would mean an increase of about
$500. He may be joined by Catcher
Babe Phelps, the National Leagues
No. 2 batter last year. and Buddy Has
sett, star freshman first sacker of 1886.
Protests may come from a couple Of
the Chicago White SoX standouts,
among them Batting Champion Luke
Appling and First Baseman Zeke Bo-
nura, but the odds are the Sox won't
let many dollars stand in the way Of
signing two such valuable performers.
OF course. there's always Dizzy Dean.

garded as so closely resembling Babe

Relieved of Stigma But

NEWSOM recently was relieved OF
y the stigma that was bestowed
upon him for allegedly calling a
Washington newspaper man by long
distance telephone during the Winter
meeting in New York and declaring
he wanted away" from the Griffmen.
The writing gent who spread the tale
later confessed that he and not New
som put through the call. Buck,
however, has not been forgiven by
Griffith for popping off as he did, re-
gardless of from which end the con-
versation was instigated.
Briefly, Blushing Buck de-
clared he was treated unfairly
by Griffith and Bucky Harris,
that he was not given q real
chance to collect a bonus for
winning a certain number Of
games and that he would be ex-
tremely happy to be traded to
some other team.
News of the declaration was met
with a loud, indignant snort from
Griffith, whose first reaction caused
the old gentleman to brand Mr.. New
som as something of an migrate. "If
the Washington club hasn't treated
him fairly" ripped out Griffith, I'D
like to know how it possibly could be
done. He came to us as a $5,500-a-
year pitcher. Right of the bat I
raised him to $500. I loaned him
money three times to meet what he
described as emergencies, and last
year I upped his salary to $1,000
and threw in bonus clause as well.
Hummph!"

T IS matter of public record that
once Uncle Clark Griffith leaves

L opening of Spring training camp.
the chances are highly in favor of the
Washington base ball firm standing
pat as far as its playing personnel Is
concerned.
OF late, the Old Fox appears to
have made a habit of doing his trad
ing from the home Office or not at
all, and, inasmuch as he is spending
his final week in the Capital, it would
seem logical to assume that if the
Senators are to dicker further for
fresh talent, it will be done in the next
few days.
This theory, then, might well
revive such sundry trade rumors
as made the rounds a month
ago, when the base ball big-wigs
were conducting their annual
shopping mart in New York.
Since then the Bolton-to-St. Louis
rumor has grown quite cold and MOTH
ing further has been heard on the
NeWsom-to-Detroit talk, but the more
optimistic of Washington fans might
cling to a shred of hope if only be-
cause no recent word has been heard
from Hartsville, S. c., admitted to be
the diamond center of the world by
Buck Newsom for the reason that
Buck Newsom lives there.

AVIATION DAY

Congress today finally approved
resolution setting May % as
National Aviation Day. TIL e
measure. now goes to the White
House for the Presidents sigma
ture.
AS a fitting gesture on the ami
versary of the day on which
Charles A. Lindbergh made his
flight across the Atlantic, the Sen
ate by unanimous consent ap-
proved the resolution, which the
House also unanimously voted two
days ago.
Under the terms of the bill, the
President is called upon to issue a
proclamation, calling for a coun-
try-wide celebration Of National
Aviation Day on May %. The
country's flag is to be displayed
on all public buildings and appro-
pirate ceremonies will be held
throughout the nation.
Speedy action on the bill by
Congress followed a wave of ap-
prevail that swept over the legis-
latorS who are vitality interested
in the progress Of commercial
aviation in the United States.

ROOSEVELT
CALLS FOR
PROMPT
REVISION
Reorganization Plans
Hint Long Session
For Congress

Members of the House Reorgan.
ization Committee we're told fatty
by President Roosevelt today that
he wants his entire Government
reorganization program put
through at this session of Con-
greSS.
The six Democratic members Of
the House committee were thus
directed when they conferred with
the Chief Executive at the White
House this morning.
The members of the committee
are Representatives John j. Coch-
ran of Missouri, Fred Vinson of
Kentucky, j. w. Robinson of Utah,
Lindsay Warren of North Caro-
lima, Harry Beam of Illinois, and
Frank Kniffin of Ohio.
The House members have been
meeting periodically with the Sen
ate reorganization committee in
point session for the past two or
three months, but nothing con-
crete has come from the reorgani-
zation group.
Some doubt has existed within
recent weeks that any action
would develop on the reorganiza-
ton program Of the President dur
ing this session of Congress, but
with the Presidents mandate to-
day, it is apparent that the vari-
Gus changes he recommended will
have to be put through before
the current session is ended.
Capitol Hill observers have ex-
pressed the belief that if the Presi-
dent insists in pushing this re-
organization plan through at this
session, considerable argument will
arise over it and the length Of
the session will be extended.
The Presidents program, as out
lined in his message to Congress
early in the session would affect
virtually every Governmental
agency, as to personnel and as to
the regrouping Of units now exist
ing.

HOUSE HELD
CERTAIN TO
FOLLOW
Conference Reports
Prompt Adoption
Is Forecast

Without a record vote, the Sen
ate shortly after converting today
approved a conference report call
ing for outright repeal Of the red
rider. <y-svss -ssfs
Although q bloc in the House
has been fighting this proposal, it
Is expected the House viii ap-
prove the report because OF q
proviso in the report obtained by
the House confrees.
This proviso declares that Moth
ing in the repeal shall be con-
strued as permitting the advoca-
ton of Communism.
Long Battle
The fight over the red rider
dates back to 1885 when the ap-
preparation act of 1896 carried the
rider which prohibited payment Of
salaries to any teacher teaching or
advocating communism. AL en-
ployeS of the public school system
were required to sign an afhdavit
that they had not taught or adyo-
Gated communism before hey re-
ceived their salaries.
At the opening of this session
a movement was started in the
House and Senate to eliminate
this provision. A bitter contro-
versy arose in the House and final
ly a pink" rider was approved.
Senate Insistent
The Senate, however, voted for
outright repeal and conference
was called. In a statement pre-
pared for the House by its con-
ferees it is stated:
"The conference agreement
has the effect of repeating the
prOvisO as in the Senate amend
ment and adds thereto express
provision under which repeal
is not to be construed as per-
hitting the advocating Of COM
munism."
