Three Mems Futures In Public Life Hinge On Trial Of Tammany Chieftain
ACCUSER ACCUSED AND THEIR JUDGE BACH BASKS LELIGHT
BY PAUL ROSS

NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Aug. 22.-An impor- tant part of the drama at the trial of Jimmy Hines on charges of help ing Dutch Schultz run his $l00, 0,000,- 900 policy racket is the possibility that the fate of the three key figures -Justic Ferdinand Pecora, District ney Thomas E. Dewey and Politi- clan James J. Hines-may be very different after it is all over.
 The publicity may make an even bigger figure out of Pecora than he is now and may lead to place on the Supreme Court of the United | States.
 Dewey may be elected governor :. |. and perhaps even president if he wins this case. But If he fails he may remain simply crusading D. A. who lost his biggest case.
 And Hines, whether he goes to jail or not, will be as fallen Goliath, for 1t has been proven that this man who was believed to be above the law is not too big to be tackled by the law.
 Until 1888 and the days of Dewey, handsome Jimmy Hines led charm ed life. Here is little of Jimmie's record:
 Hines name is linked with that of Larry Fay, milk racketeer; Hines name pops up in the case of Jose Enrique Miro, policy banker; Hines name leads a published list of dis trict leaders "who are dependent upon gangsters"; Hines is pub licly named parole broker" by a reform group; Hines is frequently seen with Dutch Schultz; Hines name is frequently mentioned in connection with the Welfare Island prison scandal.
 Out of all this, nothing happen ed. No indictments were drawn. Not interested" was his usual com- ment to the press and that was that.
 James J. Hines was born on the tough upper East Side, finished pub lie school, learned his fathers horse shoeing business, married pretty Geneva Cox, became the protege of local boss, was elected an alder man in 1907, became a district lead CT in Harlem where the family had moved.
 When the World war came along, Jimmy Hines enlisted, came back a lieutenant and promptly picked 2 fight with Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall. In 1929, Jimmy become the boss of Tammany by engineering the election of Curry to that post.
 The Big Boss doesn't drink, not even beer, smokes lightly, plays golf and baseball, speaks good English and reads history and biography for relaxation.

 He was born in 1902 in Owosso, Mich, the son of small news paper publisher. In 1923, after fin ishing at the University of Michi- gan, Dewey came to New York, studied at Columbia's Law School and sang at churches to earn his living. He was admitted to the bar in 1926.

UNDERNEATH THE STARS
Good Evening.

Away from the noise of the city streets The din of trucks and motor cars, Give me a niche in the country
 Right underneath the stars. Away from the city life and stifing From heal on a hot summer night, The sound of a million insects
 Is far far better-oh quite. Just a mean shack is sufficient,
 No high buildings the vision mars Plenty of woods fields and more woods Right underneath the stars. Away from the noise of the city streets In sylvan retreat far from town But how did know when picked my spot The mosquitoes would mow me down! All through nights of loveliness
 Away from the sound of motor cars sometimes longed for the city lights Instead of my roost underneath the stars

said that Fighting Fox had more speed

may have been that Bull Lea did not
get the ride to which he was en-
titled, or it may have been that the
son of Bulldog-Rose Leaves simply
lacked what it took. Some turf crit

Irving Anderson for hustling Bull
Lea to the front at the break and
then allowing him to lapse into eighth
place, which was precisely the po-
sition he held as he crossed the fin

Lawrin undSputably was the best
of the Derby horses this cloudy, hys-

good length. Maybe Stagehand would

not quite the flop he looked today.
