Babe Ruth has been trying might
lily for a managers berth ever since
he retired. So far he has failed to
connect, although half dozen such
jobs have been filed in the majors.
That would seem to indicate that
there is considerable doubt in the
baseball world about his managerial
talent.
Walter Johnson and Christy Mat

their respective generations. Both
had fair managerial tryOuts, Walter
Johnson with the Cleveland Indians
and Matty with the Cincinnati Reds.
Neither lasted very long in his job.

hands and spoke earnestly together on
the entire international situation" for
more than 40 minutes.
The former President devoted every
free moment today to questioning Ger
mans and Americans from whom he
believed he could CLEAN first-hand in
formation on the German situation.
1t seemed evident he considered
Germany the pivot Of European de-
velopment and sought to obtain an
unbiased picture for himself of the
regime Of the man who became Ger
many's leader only five weeks before
MIR. Hoover returned to private life.
Mr.. Hoover was accompanied by
United States Ambassador Hugh r.
Wilson. At Hitler,s side was Inter-
prefer Paul Schmidt.
Mr.. Wilson arranged luncheon for
the former President after the audi
ence. The Carl Shurz Society will
hold reception in his honor tonight.
Tomorrow Mr.. Hoover will be en-
tertained by Field Marshal Hermann
Wilhelm Goering. Hitler's chief aide,

Speaker Bankhead said today he
thought the House would approve a
proposed surtax on closely held cor
porations, although 1T may be a close
vote"
1T sounds like a fair and equitable
proposition to me-" he added at his

levy. the Speaker said he hoped to
see some decisive action on the tax
measure before the end of the day.
With 1t out Of the way. the House

Two Other Proposals Pend.
Before the vote on the tax on
closely held corporations. the House
must make decisions on two other
proposals. which would:
l. Impose fiat 12Ea per cent tax on
capital gains in place Of section es-
tablishing maximum rates Of Is to 39.2
per cent on gains realized on assets
held for more than a year.
2. Require the Treasury to continue
making public corporation salaries in
excess Of $4,000. Although the House
voted 2 to l last year for repeal
OF the requirement, President Roose-
welt has recommended its retention.

The House thus stood by the sug-
