better all-around ball player"
DICK BARTELL - "Medwick

total bases, hits, runs batted in
so he must be the better hitter. Di
Maggie gets more walks because it
is almost impossible to walk Med

CARL HUBBELL-'We see so

instance, who helped stir popular
feeling against political oppression
as a long series of crises developed
between the Colonies and the Mother
Country. In one noted address in

death, which shot and killed thousands of suspected
rebels which conducted the incredibly farccal trials of
some OF Its own leaders, to be running true form
Such are the essentials of dictatorship
The brand-Communist, Nazst Transformations little
Brute force and the denial of all individual rights and
liberties are the backbone of them ALL
Our Constitution, under which we have become the
worlds greatest democracy says that man shall be de-
prVed Of life liberty property without due process of

Up to now that guaranty has been fairly well observed

joy to thousands of youngsters.
Mr. c. Marshall Finnan superintendent of National
Capital Parks MAJOR Ernest w. Brown superintendent of
police and others whose cooperation will make the service
possible, deserve commentator for their program
Since swimming in the pool will be free to children in the
morning hours the free ferry will make it possible for
many to indulge in healthy and pleasant recreation
We wish that provision Of Free safe swimming facilities
Tor children could be made even extensive than it al
ready is in Washington
Many of the publicly owned pools the city require fee
from children which makes it practically impossible for some
of the youngsters to them.
With the Potomac unsafe and nsantary for swimming
would be fine thing all of the pools could be avail
able to the kids during the hot days
