But three weeks later, February
last year, Mr.. Roosevelt sent another
reorganization measure to Congress
his bill for reorganizing the courts
And about the same time, during Jan.
uary and February, last year, he
seemed to show almost overt sympathy
with the sit-down type of strike, novel
in America, which in January of last
year emerged conspicuously in Flint
Mich.
About the same time, and before
and after, Mr.. Roosevelt did other
things which led the thoughtful to fear
that the sum of Mr.. Roosevelt's actions
meant fundamental change in Amer
lea. Out Of that fear grew the busi-
ness recession. The statistical begin
ming date of 1t is now seen to have
been March 10 last year. In just a
little over year the fear has spread
down to considerable masses of the
people. It is this fear that is now ex-
pressed in alarm over the pending re-
organization measure.
Sinister Spiral.
People fear that a quiet, concealed
revolution Is under way In America.
They are tragically right. Motion for
a changed form of society and gov
ernment is under way along so many
lines that neither public nor news
papers follow developments on all the
fronts. 1t has reached the stage where
1t has created vicious circle which
works to promote it. Until and unless
the motion toward revolution Is ar
rested, business will not function. In
turn the inability Of business to func-
ton promotes the revolution. We are
in sinister spiral.
Some of business and some leaders
of thought think the tmpediment to
business is certain forms Of taxation.
Senator Harrison assures the country
that the Senate is going to write a tax
bill which shall be business re-
covery bill" Probably the tax bill
will omit or greatly change the par
ticular taxes which strangle business.
After that is done, after the bill is
passed. we will then see whether re-
coVery follows. We will see whether
taxation is the only obstacle to re-
covery.
The Jackson Front.
An accurate appraisal of the mo-
mentum toward revolution might say
that there was as much importance in
events taking place at Jackson, Mich,
as in the debate over the reorganiza-
ton measure at Washington. Yet the
events in Michigan got so little space
In many newspapers that much of the
public was unaware Of them.
At jackson there was a sit-doWn
strike. Employees of electric power
plants serving several cities-not all
the employees, apparently only about a
third Of them-took possession of the
plants For several days they did not
allow representatives of the owners to
enter: they did not allow superintend-
ents and foremen to enter.
The strike was settled through nego-
tiations conducted by the Governor OF
the State, Frank Murphy. Whether
this settlement is wholesome from the
public point of view cannot be known

the advice of the business men. big
and little, who have the responsibility
for making the economic system work
but who declare themselves frustrated
at almost every turn by a President
who stubbornly insists everybody is out
OF step but he and that only the
selfish few are blocking national re-
covery. Small wonder that inside the
administration there are rumors of
designations in body to impress upon
the President that he must change his
policies If he expects to keep the eco
nomic situation from further disinte-
grafton. Certainly, to use a stock
market term, Government morale has
struck a new low for all times right
here In Washington.

New York, April 26-News item: A holdup with a gun is not a robbery in California if the person is recoy- ing the money lost at gambling according to a ruling of the state supreme court. The majority opinion of the court said that "the winner gains no title to his winnings at gambling. Therefore the offense can- not be termed robbery"
 Boy, run out and get me the biggest revolver you can buy, a set of matching blackjacks, and a car ton of hand grenades. Because I am off for California and Santa Anita in the morning. I want to get out there before that supreme court can change its mind, and have go at those long-fingered gentlemen back of the selling wickets who took my money all winter.

We're not very snappy troop in appearance, because few of US got out of Santa Anita with more than our shirts. But what we lack in ac- coutrement we make up in deter imitation. As commandant, it makes me proud to know that not single member of the McLemore Rifles will cease fighting until the last cashier has been yanked from behind his window and made to yield what the supreme court says is ours.

 Q. In baseball, if there is a run ner on third base and one on first base and the runner on first base steals second and then runs back to first base trying to get the catcher to throw the ball to first so the runner on third can attempt to score, is he penalized in any way?
 A. Section 2 or Rule 45 of the official playing rules says; "A base runner having acquired legal title to base cannot run bases in re- verse order for the purpose either of confusing the fielders or mak- ing a travesty of the game. A run ner violating this rule is out if touched with the ball, or the ball held on the base said runner was entitled to hold"
 Q. What was the number oi rounds of the Joe LouiS-Tommy Farr fight in the summer of 1887? Did the fight go the full distance?

Hassett May Become Boston
 Bee, Says Rumor
BY ROBERT WEBB

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Boston, April 25.-UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may
 Although Casey Stengel has de- nied the Bees are planning to make any changes in the team, trade winds continue to blow around Ma tional league field . . With Brooklyn in town, many writers thought some sort of deal might be worked out giving the Dodgers one of the Bees three catchers in return for Buddy Hassett, Brooklyn first baseman who is trying to wir a job in the outfield.
 Hassett has been trading materia ever since the club bought Doll Camilli, the hard-hitting Philadel- phian, to play first base Brooklyn is overloaded with out fielders which makes Hassett's chances of winning regular out field job pretty slim . Hassett hit .310 and .304 in his two seasons with the Dodgers.
 Playing " games in the spacious National league park, Hassett might find maintaining 300 average in Boston was impossible and unless he could hit better than Fletcher or West, there wouldn't be much use in bringing him here.
 Uncertain
 With Hassett at first, Max West would be released for outfield duty but whether the Pacific coast young ster could displace Johnson, Moore or DiMaggio isn't certain In other words, there is no guarantee that Hassett would strengthen the Bees and he is probably the only man on the Brooklyn club for whom the Boston team would dicker.
 The Bees lost a great chance to win their third consecutive game yesterday when rain forced a post ponement the Dodgers are much-Weakened at the moment with Max Butcher, a starting pitcher, in- definitely suspended; Third Base- man Cookie Lavagetto on the shelf with pulled muscle; and Catcher Babe Phelps nursing an injured hand.
 It was last season that Brooklyn came to Boston for four-game series and scored only a single run, losing three games by shutouts and the other by a close margin Casey Stengel is amazed that the Bees are confident of winning when they have a one or tWo-run lead in the early innings appar- ently he doesn't realize that even a one-run lead is a big advantage in the spacious Boston park. Going Up
 Many of the Boston writers, who figured both Bees and Red SoX would finish fourth or fifth, have revised their estimates as far as the Bees are concerned, while Turner, Fette, MacFayden. and Shoffner are at mid-seaSon form some of the press box experts sec the Bees finishing as high as thiro place . With Dean out of the picture at St. Louis, Boston is now rated a better team than the Car dinalS.
