force for good? Why not say,
We will accept Sunday movies
provided the films are the right
kind, and are not shown during
the hours Of church services?"
There are many films which would
do anyone good to see, Sunday or
Monday.
If we fight that which has good
in it, and which is going to be
anyhow, we place ourselves out
side the sphere Of influencing
constructive use of that thing. A
new era is on us. And a, girl and
a boy might be better off Sunday

WASHINGTON - P r esd e n t
Roosevelt has at least partially
5igested election returns and it is
safe to predict that the adminiS-
!ration won't even try to achieve
any new major reforms at the
next session of Congress.
Attention and baliyhoo will be
concentrated on proposals con-
coded to be generally popular and
unlikely to be blocked by coali-
lions Of Republicans and conserV-
alive Democrats.
This strategy, arising from real
Ization that the heyday Of New
Deal power is over, aims stimuli
:aneously at rebuilding adminiS-
:ration popularity and prestige
and at an aggressive program Of
activity calculated to offset attacks
IN existing New Deal laws.
Government reorganization, for
which the President had intended
10 press before the new Congress
in January, almost certainly will
De dropped from the Roosevelt
program of 1889.
Rearmanent and, national de-
tense measures will be the chief
measures on which Roosevelt will
90 to bat. Loud cheers are eX-
pected. No large number of con-
greSsmen and senators, regardless
Of party utilization, is expected to
vote against amy agenda calling
for billions of dollars for national
defense" Washington's most ef-
fective lobbyists will be whooping
it up.
Watch out also for a big ina
tional health program" with
appropriations extending social
security into the field of medical
care. Like national defense, health
is popular.
New Dealers appear to feel that
if they can't pass any new pet
legislation they at least can keep
laws already on the books from
being repealed. The election back
wash left 262 Democrats in the
House and ITO Republicans, which
suggests that any time the Re-
publicans can get IS Democratic
votes there will be an anti-ad-
ministration majority. But if will

All over the world the church

has been making empty gestures
instead of performing great

BEHIND THE SCENES

take 10 Democratic votes, added
to the full Republican strength, to
override a presidential veto.
Anti-administration attacks will
be directed mainly at the Wagner
Labor act, the Social Security
act with its reserve provisions anG
the WPA.
Aside from reorganization, ma
tional defense and health, the ad-
miniStration before Nov. 8 was
aiming at a new tax program and
anti-monopoly legislation. Plans
as to the latter are up in the air,
but it's now certain that anything
proposed will be advanced in ca
boots with Senator Joe O'Mahoney
of Wyoming, chairman Of the
joint Iegislative-eXecutive anti
monopoly committee.
The election results appear to
have killed the undistributed
profits tax at least for the time
being. The long range outlook
now is for hot battle over new
taxes, probably resolving itself
into a conservative demand for
federal sales taxes as against new
graduated taxes on incomes.
Nothing is sure as to social
security except hubbub. Half
the new Republican congressman
and six new Republican senators,
as well as two ether Republican
and five Democratic senators, were
elected with ToWnsendite support.
Roosevelt will counter funny
money" pension plans with pro-
posalS to extend the present fed
eral act and establish a federal
health program, although recon-
mendations to extend old age in
surance to agricultural workers
probably will be killed by South-
ern Democratic and farm state
Republican congressman.
Predictions of Repubican-Dem-
ocratic coalitions which will lick
the administration on all liberal
conservative issues are met by
assertions of administration lead
erS that House Democrats will
huddle together to save themselves
and the party from 1910 defeat.
This view may not include enough
cognizaace of the fact that South
ern Democratic members Gus
tomarily are reelected regardless
Of national political trends.

PLAIN DUTY OF AMERICA TO HIT
PREJUDICE HARD
IN RRUCE CATTON)

Recent news from Europe has sounded
so much like a thrOw-back to the dark ages
that it is a trifle hard to realize what a
truly terrible thing the new anti-JeWlSh
campaign in Germany is.
Since we live in world which has come
to accept the mass murder of women and
children in time of war as matter OF
course, a return to the barbaric pOgromS
of medieval Europe can hardly seem sur
prising. Yet if we grow callOus about these
things we lose our defense against them.
Only by making ourselves feel the horror
of these denominations can we keep alive
the hope for restoration of civilization.
Consider the cold facts for moment.
One of the innumerable victims of the anti
Jewish campaign finally snapped back,
and a sub-official in a German embassy
was shot. Immediately the great German
propaganda machine went into action,
whipping up all of the lowest elements in
the nation to make reprisalS.
So gangsters were allowed to do as they
pleased in the great cities for a few hours.
No country on earth is as we'll pOliCed or
as completely disciplined as Germany; can
anyone in his senses suppose that these out
breaks took place without the full approval
of the German government?
Yet this inspired hoohganism was only 4
starter. On its heels came new set of laws
the feroeity of which is almost mbeliev-
able.
, Jews may not attend theaters or concerts
or visit picture galleries. They must pay
the stupendous sum of S4OO,OOO,OOO for
the murder of one embassy tea-drinker
tand this in a land which protested the
World War PREPARATIONS billD. Jews whose
property was despoiled in the pogroms
must stand the damages themselves; if
they carried insurance, they must pay the
Insurance to the state. New restrictions
are thrown around their right to earn a
living. A restoration of the medieval ghet-
To is reelected.
3 Al OF his happened long way off, to
be sure. 1t is hard, living in America, to
realize that savagery like that can really
exist, or to translate into human terms the
utter misery that such program inflicts
on scores of thousands of innocent people.
Yet realize it we must, if we are to do our
duty to our America.
! For thing like this is what nation lets
itself in for when it gives rein to anti-Sem-
itism-or, indeed, to any kind of racial OF
religious antagonism. What is happening
in Germany today is simply the logical end
product of the familiar sort of unthinklng
prejudice that crops out occasionally II
our own land
And our only defense against that SORT
Of thing is to understand to the full the
horror of Hitler's most recent descent tC
barbarism. See this thing for the abomlna
ton that it is-and, whenever you see {
symptom of the same sort of thing in youl
own country, hit it and hit it hard. There
is no other way to make sure that it won
happen here.

the Chicago Cubs will enter the

ing more in dramatic possibili-

OLIVER SCORES
TWICE IN D. C.
p
By Lillian RrxEY

A wide-girthed driving range pro
from Wilmington, Del, named Ed
Oliver, drove home yesterday with
double honors in the invitation
pro-am event at East Potomoc
when he won the pro sweeps with
70, one over par, and, teamed with
Dave Douglas, took the pro-am
best-ball prize with a brilliant 66.
The Chevy Chase team Of Bob
Barnett and Ralph Quinter, ir.,
were next highest on the list With
II, five strokes over the Delaware
pairs scorcher.
JUNIOR ACE HELPS
Lanky Dave Douglas, teen-age
son of a Wilmington pro, did not
go along just for the ride. On
seven of the holes he helped his
partner, with whom he won the re-
cent Lancaster pro-am event.
On the out nine the Delaware
pair carded 35, one under par,
then proceeded to slice the strokes
OH right and left. They played
the back nine in 81, five under
par. One lonely bogey spoiled a
card which showed five brides
and an eagle.
Local aces came into their own
In the second layer of prizes.
After the Chevy Chase duo came
two-way tie at 72 between AL
Jamison Of Indian Spring, paired
with Buddy Sharkey; and Rut
Coffey, Winchester pro, teamed
with the MartinSburg, West Vir.
g1nia, champion, Paul Bennett.
13-WAY TIE
Also on the prize list were the
members of a three-way tie at 70:
Freddie Mcleod and E. A. Merkle
Of Columbia; Lewis Worsham and
Johnny Brawner of Chevy Chase;
and Maryland State Open Cham.

the Yanks got away from Penn
sylvania station last night with
only the station attendants and
other travellers gaping at them.
There were 10 cars on the Kan
kee special and it was quite fam
lily party. Bill Dickey was accom-.
panied by Mrs. Dickey and their
little daughter and other wives
making the trip were Mrs. Nc.
Carthy, Mrs. Gehrig, Mrs. Ruffing
and Mrs. Gomez. 1t was a second

Frances Willard, of st. Petersburg
Fla, was also in the party. This
was a romance that blossomed in
the Yankee training camp last
spring.
st. Petersburg was further rep.

* On the North Side Of chicago
the Yankees are still regarded as
super men who scourged the Cubs
six years ago, laid waste to Wrig-
ley Field and are coming back to
fdo it again. They never appear in
that part of the city except as
evening bombers from strange
country. North Side folks never
go to South Side where the Yanks
5expend their destructive power on
the White Sox.
LAST SERIES RECALLED
So they are regarded as a
0trange tribe set apart from COM
mon people like the Cubs. The
North Side has a distinct recollec-
ton of a Yankee horde that de-
ecended on Wrigley Field in 1882
and called it's shots as it blasted
the Cub pitching staff apart. An
.ticipating anot her Shambles,
women and children have been
ordered into bomb-proof shelters
hastily constructed in the public
parks and the male population has
doomed gas masks.
7 Chicago is proud Of the Cubs
and the final charge that put
them on top of the National
League ramparts, but fierce civic
pride is tempered with the thought
OF what is about to happen. Chi
;cago thinks the Cubs are good.
but not good enough to stand of
this new threat.
AWESTRUCK CROWD
And so the Yankees, alighting
from their special Pennsylvania
train which whisked them from
New York to Chicago in II hours,
rode through awestruck crowds as
they made their way to the Edge
water Beach Hotel on the shore
of Lake Michigan not far from
-Wrigley Field.
There were 73 in the party. The
Yankees were at full wartime
strength except for Mascot Timmy
Sullivan, who stayed behind to
do a broadcast in New York with
rsBelieve 1t or Not" Bob Ripley.
Timmy caught a midnight train
and will arrive this afternoon.
