Maybe MT. Farley Did Not
 Lose Fdmous Battle Of Pa.
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 1. - And another thing, this James Aloyslus Farley isn't chalked up here as being % inept politically as he ap- peared to some in picking one wrong horse in the Pennsylvania primary
 It is true that Jim Farley has a thick political hide, but his skull is quite another thing.
 Farley said he would like the Democratic voters of Pennsylva- mia to nominate Governor Earle for the Senate and then step into another party faction and nomi- nate CLOS Kennedy for governor It was a last minute notifica tion Of how the national chairman thought things ought to be, and report here has it that Farley took the step after many worrying moments of thinking over what to do.
 It turned out that Earle was nominated and Kennedy was beat en and the hue and cry arose that Farley had lost the magic touch by which he had been able to fore cast that all but Maine and Yer mont would vote for Roosevelt in 1886.
 But report here has it that Far ley was not devoted to picking win ners, nor even in supporting an out and-out labor candidate against one less out-and-out. Farley is reputed here to be just average concerned about national policies and if the party goes a bit conservative or a bit liberal it is mostly all right with him so long as he can keep the party in power About keeping the party peaceful and in power he is very much concerned.
 MT. Farley, as he himself indi- cated, picked Kennedy for public support on one side and Earle or the other because it would help tc heal the breach within the party in Pennsylvania.

IT MAY HELP LATER


 It could be kept in mind that John L. Lewis, head man in C1O, was not especially mad at Earle, who had sided with him in the steel strikes. even if he was on the other party team. But Lewis was all for Kennedy, which Farley knew. So by giving Kennedy lift, even late in the campaign, Farley helped to soothe the bitterness which could have grown up in CIO ranks if nc help had come from Washington Moreover, the help extended in Pennsylvania would be remembered in other states where CIO can be useful.
 A disrupted party in Pennsylvania means danger in 1940 and any one with half an eye on things in Wash ington can discover that MT. Far ley is far more concerned about keeping the party together in 194( than with what happens to a scat

MOVER FINALLY WINS VERDICT
 OVER ACCIDENT
Judge Alexander Upheld by Supreme Court in Air

WASHINGTON, June 1. - The Supreme Court has refused to re- view the, decision of the ninth Cir cult Court of Appeals at San Fran cisco, holding that the term: part icipating in aeronautics' in an in- surance policy does not apply to an airplane passenger.
 In 1884, Mannow D. Mover of Juneau was injured in an accident to a plane operated by the Alaska Southern Airways. He sought dam ages under an accident policy is sued by the Mutual Benefit Health and Accident Association of Neb- raska. The insurance Asso., defended the action on the ground that Moy- CTS injuries were caused while he was participating in aeronautics," /" and that this fact by terms of the policy exempted the Association Of liability.
 The circuit Court ruled the term participating in aeronautics" was an artificial phrase; ambiguous in content, it connotes science or art of aerial navigation in which science or art a passenger does not partici- pate any more than pullman pas senger participates in railroading. '"

NEW YEARS DAY

Festivals in celebration of New
Years Day may be traced as far
back as 5000 B. c., when the Baby
lonians observed the day in honor OF
the sun god. Throughout the ages
various days of the year have been
considered New Years Day in vari-
GUS countries.
In church calendar, New Years
Day, coming seven days after Christ
mas, is taken as concentrating the
circumcision of Christ, but this re-
ligious significance is almost lost
sight of in the secular observances
pertaining to the beginning Of a
new year.
The giving of present pr good
luck token may be traced to ancient
Rome and still prevails in some coun-
tries. The Persians exchange eggs
ON that day. Many customs, pagan,
Hebrew, Christian and social, have
been associated with New Years day.
That of holding watch parties" to
see the old year out and the new year
in, is observed by some church con-
gregations, while more hilarious pro-
ceedings take place in night clubs,
and other centers of conviviality.
By means of greeting cards, writ
ten messages or spoken words the

Why Control Counts in
Sports, Business, Habits

On the baseball diamond, the diff
ference between a great pitcher and
a dub who can merely throw ball
hard, is largely a matter of con-
troll, asserts a writer in the Wash
ington Star.
Fire, when under control, turns
the wheels of industry. When out OF
control, it is one of the most de-
structive forces in the world.
A brilliant scientist, making revo-
lutionary discoveries in his labora-
tory, may be changed into a help
less mailman, simply by losing con-
troll over his mind.
Sounds pretty important, doesn't
it-this matter of control? And it
is. The motorist, the airplane pilot,
the locomotive engineer-the life OF
each one depends absolutely on his
ability to control his machine.
But that isn't all. Control is
important for you, too-control over
your habits, your temper, your I'M
desirable impulses, your unworthy
thoughts. If you have it, you'll be
like the good baseball pitcher, and
win lot of games. If you don't,
you'll be like the dub who not Only
never gets to first base, but who
never even makes the team.

NEUTRALITY

The present neutrality act was
passed for the express purpose of
keeping the United States out Of
foreign wars. The amendments that
are suggested to the neutrality act
would give additional power to the
President to act solely upon his own
responsibility in Identifying which
are aggressor nations, and leave it to
him to impose embargos on exports
of munitions and other essential
war supplies. the issue will be over
proposed amendments or sticking
to the neutrality policy-as is
until there is war threat to be
considered.
The opponents to the amendment
indicate that there are no political
questions involved as between Con-
gress and the President but that
they believe that no one person
should be clothed with power to
choose between combatant nations.
On the other hand fgends of the
amendment feel that if the Admins
tration is free to act it might pre-
vent a conflict, and that positive
gesture upon the part of Congress
itself against warning country
Japan, for ins&hnce-would be
more apt to precipitate war.
