COLUMBIA BEST BET IN HARVARD
 ATHLETIC MEET
Close College Test Today May Be Thrilling;
 Yale Strong

Cambridge, Mass, May e-(UP) Track and field stafs of the So- called "Ivy Colleges" compete at Harvard Stadium today in the third annual heptagonal meet, which marks the return to college track of English linear measurements after a four-year trial with the metric system.
 Though Harvard has dominated the meet for the past two years, the crimson forces weren't even conceded an outside chance Of being close in this one.
 Columbia was favored to win the title after 8 ding -dong battle for points with Yale, Cornell and Dart mouth. Princeton was picked to fin- ish fifth with Harvard and Penn sylvania following in that order. with Benny Johnson, the negro sprint star, a heavy favorite in the 1O0-yard dash and rated as prob- able winner of the broad jump. The New Workers also are strong in the shot put, with Francis Ryan and Danny Taylor due to fight 1t out with Tony Geniawicz of Dartmouth in tl1ta event.
 Yale's strength lay in the field events, particularly the pole vault and the hammer throw, and in the two-mile run.
 Lawrence Johnny Donovan was Dartmouth's biggest individual threat and looms as double win- ner"--in the 120-yard and 220-yard hurdles. Cornell's chances of cap- turing the meet faded with the an- nouncement that it's star two-miler, Herb Cornell, would not compete.
 Tn all, the 400 athletes from the seven colleges vii lcompete in IS events.

PITCHERS CAN
 PUT PIRATES IN
 PENNANT SPOT
Team Two Games Up in National L League-Red
 SOx Lead
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

;United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, May s-UP)-The 8 National league is beginning to take the Pittsburgh Pirates seriously. They're out in front with two- game lead, and at least three man. agers think they'll b aewfully hard to overhaul.
 There's just one catch--will their pitching hold up? If 1t does the Pirates have power to burn, with nicely balanced A and 4" attack -four left-handed hitters and four right-hmanded hitters.
 Southpaws used to baffle the Pirates but yesterday they blasted another southpaw to defeat, beat ing the Phils, 8-3. THhey rapped Waylne La Master for IS hits. Woody Jensen and Arky Vaughan got four each. The victory gave the Pirates 8 two-game lead over the second place Cardinals.
 The three managers who think the Pirates will be tough are Bur- leigh Grimes, Brooklyn; Charlie Grimm, Cubs, and Frankie Frisch, Cardinals. Grimm says: "If they get any pitching Pittsburgh is the team to beat"
 The New York Giants defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-2, and regained third place. The Giants scored five runs in the sixth on three Cardinal errors, walk, and Dick Bartell's homer. Slick Castle man held the Cards to six hits.
 Brooklyn stopped the Chicago Cubs winning streak at six straight by winning, 12-1. Fred Frankhouse held the Cubs to eight scattered blows. Gilly Brack and Cookide Lavagetto made three hits each.
 Cincinnati scored its third straight victory by defeating the Boston Bees, 6-3. The Reds col- lected Il hits off McFayden and Lanning, Bill Hallahan allowed the Bees nine hits.
 The Boston Red Box moved into the American league lead by tri- umphing over the Chicago White Box, 6-3. It was the Red Sox fourth straight victory. Boston made only five hits but combined them with nine passes issued by Vernon Kennedy to make their runs. Lefty Grove went the route to win his first game. It was the White Sox sixth straight loss.
 Roxie Lawson won his fourth straight game, pitching the Detroit Tigers to a 4--2 victory over Wash ington. Bill Rogcll hit a homer for the Tigers.
 Cleveland just lasted to beat the New York Yankees, 7-6. The In- dians held a so lead going into the eighth but Dennis Galehouse weak ened and the Tanks scored four runs in the eighth and two in the ninth before Whitehill, the Indians third relief pitcher. finally stopped the rally. Cleveland made B hits, includinging homer by Averill and triple by Lary.
 The St. Louis Browns won from the Philadelphia Athletics, 0-6, handing George Caster his first de- feat. Jimmy Walkup allowed 10 hits and his teammates made four errors behind him but he lasted the route. a4N IF .&

Naugatuck, May 8-The Nauga- tuck high school baseball team hoped to end its losing streak thIs afternoon when 1t faces Wilby high of Waterbury at the Brass City. Naugatuck has dropped its last two games after winning the first three and its supporters believe tlie team will snap into It's earlier fora today.

UNDOUBTEDLY WEAKENING

No reflecting person will be surprised if the New
Deal and the popularity of President Roosevelt go
to smash before 1910. Signs of the administra-
tons approaching debility already observable
The money is not holding out. The days of the
magnificent wasting are drawing toward close.
Mr.. Roosevelt has uncommon gifts that make
for personal popularity, but the policies of the last
four and half years would have made any man
a popular idol. A good magician of foul coun-
tenance and strident voice would have been be-
loved of the people long he gave men offices,
other men joys and communities "prOjects"-and
Mr. Roosevelt has pleasing face and voice.
The government of the United States has been
carried on with monStrouS folly. The spending of
nine thousand millions of dollars a year for four
years and the half of it bowOwed--in time of
peace-wil, of course, be written down as indie
fensble when the bottom of the till is scratched
and the people shall be compelled to crow for day.
All this will be well understood after few years
have passed, but it may be too late to save the
republic from the consequences of what has been
done. We hope for the best.
We notice that some of the American politicians
who have been noisy New Dealers ere smelling
around for holes through which to escape from it.

PRINCES OF PRIVILEGE"

Mr.. Roosevelt (1) condemns princes of priv
lege" and (2) condemned recently publicists and
commentators who talk too much without knowing
what they were talking about.
Taking category No l, it may be noted that the
Roosevelt clan hasn't done so badly these last five
years, to wit:
Papa has the No. l public office job in the Uni
ted States.
Mama writes a daily column, has broadcast COM
mercially, gives the proceeds to charity, but saved
on income tax by writing off more than the 10 per
cent allowable for charity-much to the treasury IS
embarrassment when it became public information.
James is papa's shadow No. l at $4,000
per, and has recently purchased himself right
nice little New England lot of few hundred acres.
Daughter Eleanor dished up a column for a
magazine for while, is now doing newspaper work
on the paper run by hubby, John Boettiger.
Elliott had a nifty gift from his wife, who
bought him a Texas radio station.
Franklin Jr., found wife among the du Points.
John is about to become sOn-in-law of the
wealthy and socially eligible Boston Clarks.
Maybe it's wicked to be prince of privilege,
as papa is always telling the ill-fed, -housed and
ill-clad-but at the same time the United States
royal family hasn't done so badly for tself.-Boake

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
TWO KINDS OF AMERICANS

James R. Randolph, in a letter to the Boston
Evening Transcript, reminds that there are two
kinds of Americans One kind has sacrificed rather
than abandon principles and the other has cho-
sen to let government support it. The latter con-
sumo what the former produce.
Roosevelt is Just as much an economic royalist
as any Republican, and all his life he has been as
far removed from any real hardship. But his posi-
ton is different. He isn't urging people to undergo
hardshps in order to be free and to remain true
to American ideals in spite of difficulties. He's
advising them to go relief, to cast their bur-
dens on the government and then to vote for HIM
as the friend of the underprivileged. He isn't tell
ing us to find new ways of earning what we need,
but is offering new ways of using political power
to take it.
There are millions of Americans who have en-
dured severe privatons rather than give up ideals
and go on relief. But you do not hear from such
people" When they open their mouths they are
attacked by politicians who are bent spending
federal funds for the selfish purpose of assuring
votes at the next election. The man who has been
thrifty all his working years is singled out as
target when he says that good Americans and true
should not look to government for their support
and maintenance. He is accused of trying to es
cape taxes.
The kind of American who contributes to the
wealth of the United States does not devote his
time and energies to living off government. He is
convinced that the spending politicians have vast
ed national wealth without accomplishing any eco
nomic purpose. Notwithstanding all the spending
by the Roosevelt administration, there are grave
fears that the country is gravitating into another
period of hard times and that too high price has
been paid for counterfeit prosperity. The poll
ticians hoodwinked a wide section of the American
people into believing that the Roosevelt admins
tration had rewritten political economy and had
revised the multiplication tables. People learn

THE REASONABLE JAP

There is this plan of the majority of the sigma
tories to the nne-power treaty guaranteeing the
territorial integrity of China which is now being
violated by Japan. The nations would have the
signers of the treaty get together to lay plans to
stop this violation of the treaty by Japan. Japan
as a sgnatory to the treaty which it violates, is
invited to attend
The Japanese government responds with pro-
posal the brilliancy of which the entire world will
have to admire Please delay the conference awhile
longer, the Japanese government says in effect
since we haven't time now to get ready for it.
In other words Japan would say, "We are too
busy now violating the nine-power treaty to engage
in a conference over the enforcement of that
treaty Kindly defer the conference until, having
fully partitioned China the treaty forbids, we
may then have adequate time to plan with the ma
tons for the enforcement of the treaty which it
will then be too late to enforce"
We may look through the annals of high diplo-
macy a long time before find anything which
for sheer brilliance eclipses this.-Miami Daily

IN WASHIN GTON
RODNEY DUTCAER--
BY RODNEY DUlCliEh
NEA Service staff Correspondent

Roosevelt's remark that the
government in the last year had
reduced its direct contribution
10 the national income by $780,
OOO, 900 may turn out TO be more
significant than it appeared.
DESPITE announcement that the
would be liquidated, the SpendinS
and lending machinery OF PWA
and REC are being kept oiled ana
ready for possible crisis. (ThatS
slppcsed TO be a secret.) One re-
ccives assurances that the spend
ing-lending program Will be &c
sumed "if needed"
Despite many recent pleas q
him. Roosevelt says he doeSn
think the secret Of national eco
nomjc success is in relieving "the
,.;ch man" or helping him make
more money. He holds that poor
men spend money much more
rapidly than rich men, that the
dollars of poor people thus accel-
crate increase in national income
mich faster than dollars OF ricn
nconIc and that it consequently Is
best TO feed poor people as many
dollars rs possible
Consequently, relief from inc
capital gains tax, if Roosevelt ma
his way, is likely to be coniiheo
70 rich men who will invest money
in housing construction.
AS TO the corporate surplus
nrof.. tax. the President thus fai
stick. to the principle that inVes'
tors rather than corporate man
agements should decide Whetnei
corporate profits should be oiS'
tributed, invested in expansion OF
slowed away. He won't accept the
New York view that the tax Is
wreckinG the capital market. APP
parently, however, he does realize
, mat the tax is hard on small bust
ness, which has no real access &c

No hint whatever appears tina
