Cleveland Rumor Hurts.

John DREBINGER, Times-Any-
way, Terry has had his say and it
might clear the atmosphere little.
I had my last scrap with Bill four
years ago. Now we have a pact to
tell each other when we get sore about
anything, and it works out swell.
Jimmy Powers, News-I would say
that Bills biggest fault is lack of
diplomacy. I'm not angry about his
piece. In fact, I think it's funny.
After all, turn about is fair play, and
Bills piece isn't near as singing as
some of the things that have been
written about him. I was the first
writer to criticize him, but now I think
he's the best manager in the National
League.

M as il the United States Golf

14-club limit If it wants to keep Old
Man Par from looking silly.
Tournament golfers have been
laboring since January / under the
new rule which limits them to IA
clubs, the same ones, from start to
finish of a tourney. So far the only
beneficial results that have been seen
are the tightening OF the burden upon
the caddies and the removal of some
of the mental burden on the boys who
occasionally had trouble deciding
which club to use.
The scores don't show any great
change. The professional sharpshoot-

manage to make the game look ridicu-

Is whiting becoming lost art? Not
until vacation time when we watched
countryman leisurely and deftly reduce
a pine stick to curly shavings with his
jacknife did we realize how long since
we'd seen whittier before. In our boy
hood most everybody, man and boy,
whitfield and kept his knife sharp and

house or crossroads store and Whitfield

versed with companions. If neighbor

hub of a front wheel, and found a stick
Most of the whittlers we remember,
except a few who whitfield out paddles,
watch charms or other articles, seemed
to whittle just for the sake of whiting
just plain, pure relaxation, and let the
shavings fall where they would. Not all
whiting, however, was a simple and
guileless as that When Hiram Stebbins
was cogitating a horse trade or wanted
to buy your bay colt, he could whittle so
nonchalantly that horse or colt seemed
the farthest thing in creation from any
thing he wanted to possess-that is, if
you didn't know Hiram.
Maybe a census of Whittlers would
show more of them left in villages and
on farms than the city man thinks. If
so, It's we'll. If whiting passed, some
thing very American, neighborly, and

AN EMPTINESS
IN OUR HEARTS

"And IcIen he fell
He trent dOIUn as IChen I0rdfy ce-
ddr, green IUith boughs,
Goes d0Un IUiH a great shout upon
the hills.
And iedUes lonesome place against
the sky"
edwin Markham
So does Doc Zinn leave a lonesome
place against the skies of Imperial Val
ley. With him goes a part of the hearts
of everyone who knew him.
Doc Git is easier to call him that went
as he would have wiShed-without fam
fare, in the outdoors close to the fields
of the valley he loved. He was 81. Be-
hind him lay 81 years packed full of
living, such complete living as few of
us ever know. Surely no one ever en-
joyed life more than he, nor lived it
more fully. No trifling incident passed
him by as too trivial for notice; no per-
son was too minor for Docs kindly at
tention. Each day brought to him more
happiness. Each day he brought more
happiness to those around him.
Doc was small town. He couldn't and
wouldn't have been anything else. He
would have been so had he been mayor
of New York. Rugged, homespun, toer-
ant of all men, there was quality of
understanding about him that set him
apart. Displays and affectations made
no impression upon Doc. He saw be-
meath them with a clean, clear twinkling
eye that would have made him as at home
in Bar Harbor or the White House, as
he was at home in every home in Impe-
rial Valley.
Above all things Doc loved his fellow
men. He loved to stop and talk with
them and pass the time of day, draw
them into political arguments and then
end the discussions upon a laugh. He
told many stories, mainly on himself,
but there was never a touch of rancor,
never a bitter taste. And when he had
finished his chat and moved on down
Main street, the sky was brighter where
he had been, and hearts were lifted.
1t is hard to speak of Doc in the past
tense. Is it really right to do so? Can
such men as he pass on without leaving
most of themselves behind, imprinted
upon the hearts of their friends? Sure
ly those things he stood for so splendidly
courage, kindliness, loyalty, tolerance
those grand qualities that Uere really
Doc can neUer die!
Docs last column ended with "I'll be
seein you. God bless you, Doc, we hope
so.

Little Demo Cash
On Georgia Vote
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHlNCl ClON.-AlUnOugn New
Dealers claim to have encouraging
reports from Georgia, few are bet
ing cash money that President
Roosevelts man Lawrence Camp
will defeat Senator Walter F. George
in the sept. 6 primary.
Even more astonishing than
George loss would be defeat of
Nevadas Senator Pat McCarran,
no New Dealer, on the same date.
Here are some of the high spots:
GEORGIA: Georges fate will
be the first big purge decision by
voters. He is the first senator up for
nomination whose defeat Roosevelt
specifically has asked. A Camp vic
tory would be a great tribute 10
Roosevelt's popularity because the
presidents support seem Camps big
gest asset.
A George victory would have
anti-New Dealers everywhere Sing
ing and dancing in the streets. The
third candidate is gallus-snapping
rabble -rousing Former Governor
Gene Talmadge, the farmers
friend whom few expect to win.
The winner must poll a majority
of county unit votes. Counties have
two, four or six votes each. Tai
madge is strongest in less populous
rural counties. If no one gets a
majority the two top men must
enter runoff.
Walter Judge, former judge, now
60, for 16 years a senator, has
strong Well-financed organization,
support from power, textile and
banking interests and even backing
from tle bulk of Georgias federal
machine Most county rings" are
for him and he enjoys the neutrality
of Gov. Ed Rivers and Senator Dick
Russell. He has William Green's
support and CIO-Labor's Non-Parti-
san League opposition. Few WPA
workers will vote, because of poll
tax requirements.
Extent to which Roosevelt's de-
claration for Camp will be offset
by resentment against his intrusion
in state politics is debatable. So is
the effect of the Republicans to en-
ter the Democratic primary and
vote for George-also resented by
some Democrats.
Camp campaigns unspectacularly
boasting New Deal achievements,
charging George is a pal of Wall
street and the Power Trust.
George stresses such issues as
presidential Intervention, one-man
party rule, white supremacy, car
Sherman's march thru
Georgia and alleged Communism OF

however, and Roosevelt was so sure
