Senator O'Mahoney Takes Issue
With Hayward Letter.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Last evening you published an inter-
esting letter by Mr.. Henry A. Hayward
in which he attributes to. me views
have never entertained, and then pro-
bill for the licensing of interstate cor
porations. not upon the basis of anything
contained in the bill, but upon the basis
of his statement of what the bill would
probably" contain.
For example, Mr.. Hayward says: IN
order to avoid any question of unconsti-
tutional delegation of power, such bill
would probably set forth certain objec-
tives and principles etc. - and would
require some board or commission to
issue charters with conditions and under
rules and regulations to be prescribed
by the issuing authority ."
Again, he says: In order to fulfill
one of the promises of the Senator, the
solution of the unemployment problem,
1t is highly probable that the issuing
authority would provide in certain char
tiers that the number of employees should
not be permitted to fall below a certain
number except with the approval OF the
authority = y"
Aside from the fact that both of these
statements are without the slightest
justification In any argument I have
ever made IN support of the principle of
Federal charters and cannot be sustained
by any provision of the bill introduced
by Senator Borah and myself, they
actually describe policy to which I am
altogether opposed AS matter of fact,
if any language in the bill is by any
chance susceptible of such interpreta-
ton, would gladly undertake to
amend it..
do not believe that any Government
board or commission should be clothed
with the power to prescribe the condi-
tions under which licenses or charters
should issue. My whole purpose is to
write clearly into the law all of the re-
quirements to be imposed. The powers,
duties and responsibilities of interstate
corporations would be fixed in the law
and not by the changing views of chang
ing commissions.
Indeed, as Mr.. Hayward correctly
quoted me, stated specifically in my
talk to the cost accountants that, in my
opinion, the system I have advocated
would set business free from the discre-
tionary control of Government bureau
Gratis" 1t seems rather amazing that
after having thus clearly quoted my pur-
pose to abolish discretionary control by
executive agents Mr.. Hayward should
proceed to build his whole letter upon
the assumption that it is my purpose to
do the very opposite

An Ambassador Returns

In returning the British Ambassa-
dor to Berlin, Prime Minister Cham
berlain presumably is making an
eleventh-hour effort to persuade
Chancellor Hitler to speak in con-
ciliatory terms when the Fuehrer
replies Friday to President Roose-
velt's plea for non-aggression pledges
by the axis powers. That, at least,
Is one inference to be drawn from
the fact that Sir Neville Henderson,
who was recalled from Berlin after
Germany seized Bohemia and
Moravia and shattered Mr.. Cham
berlains appeasement dream, has
resumed his post. The Wilhelm
strasse countered Downing Streets
gesture by announcing that the Ger
man Ambassador to Great Britain,
who was withdrawn soon after the
British envoy left Berlin, would
return to London very soon."
Mr.. Chamberlain has made haste
to assure Parliament that mo spe-
cial significance" attaches to these
developments and that they partic-
ularly do not denote British recogni
ton OF the annexation of Czecho-
Slovak territory or 1taly's conquest
of Albania. Whether the Prime Min
ister's attempt to divest his action
of any olive-branch suggestion will
carry conviction in Germany is ques-
tionable. Already Berlin is hailing
it as triumph for Nazi diplomacy.
A more probable danger is that
Hitler and Won Ribbentrop will con-
slider it sign of weakness and
quasi confession that the "encircle-
ment" program has broken down,
or at least not progressed as
satisfactorily as it's architects ex-
pected. The adhesion of Soviet
Russia and Turkey, while still re-
ported to be imminent, is not yet
definitely pledged. Meantime, Yugo-
slavia's accession to the axis bloc
disrupts the Balkan Entente
mania, Greece, Yugoslavia and Tur-
key-which has been a vital factor
in the calculations Of the anti-axis
powers.
It is exactly seven months ago this
week that Mr.. Chamberlain in trust

Suggests Abandonment
OF Donkey Symbol.
70 the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
A political party has been defined as
a body of persons organized for the
purpose of seizing and controlling the
Government.
That purpose may be accomplished at
times by persons intent upon it through
representing themselves as adherenIs
and proponents of the principles OF an
established party. Having thus sue
ceeded in arriving at power, the prln-
ciples which have served their purpose
may then be abandoned
In this country the success OF the
method is based in part upon the respect
which the average American has fof
his own undertakings and his reluc-
tance to regard others as less particular
in this than he is himself, and in part
upon the impression, held by the practi
TONERS of the method, that it is possible
to fool some of the people all Of the time.
BY combining those who thus fool
themselves" with those under obligation,
and adding this combination to those
who vote by party label, the result Ot
elections in democracy can frequently
be determined.
Possibly the desire to retain at all
cost that group which votes by party
label regardless of every other con-
sideration may account for the "kidde-
gram broadcast during the current
week, instructing those whose donkey
had been purloined that they must de-
termine whether they too will remain
liberal" or permit "reactionaries" Of
another party to supplant liberals" Ii,
power-a calamity such as few can
contemplate and remain dry eyed.
Would it not have at least been more
kindly had the liberals" recognizing
their own merits, abandoned the abused
donkey to its former masters and
adopted some new emblem as their very
own-and thus have demonstrated their
ability to stand alone to an anxious
world?

Course of Action
Suggested for Press.

To the Editor OF The Star:
The best and only way to keep America
clear OF European entanglements is to
stop all stopping Hitler agitation" We
should build up our Navy and naval avi-
alton, as is suggested in the splendid
article Of j. c. AIKEN in The Star of April
II, and insist that England and France
pay their Indebtedness to us.
If the American press would use as
much energy in this direction as it is
wasting in stopping Hitler" it would
give reason to believe it is working in the
Interest of its own country.

The grim guillotine of time is hov-

OF Buddy Myer. His career as a
major league baseball star rapidly
is approaching its horizon, but the
scrappy little guy who gave it all
he had for IA years today paused

ing suspicion Buddy saw it coming
and was prepared.
Myer, anyway, is inclined to feel
BloodWorth will make good and
that, in sense, is astonishing.
Because major league ball players
generally aren't exactly profuse in
praising direct competition.
Buddy, though, always has been
a two-fisted little fellow and a spade
caller. He drew a lot of customers
through Griffith Stadium turnstiles
with his shifting feuds. When the
going was tough Buddy was likely

Hes improved 100 per cent over

BY BILL WHITE,

The two American League teams :

the Washington Senators and the
st. Louis Browns-are busy accept
ing plaudits for the best played game
In the big leagues yesterday.

that the bottom place duo put on in

ISOLATION to them. 1t probably would
have been the best played game in
a full schedule.
And it brought to light, not only
the fact that two cellar dwellers can
have as much fun playing the game
as the more proficient Yankees, but
the suspicion that Manager Fred
Haney Of the Browns didn't do so'
badly by himself when he acquired
Vernon Kennedy in that trade with
the Detroit Tigers that sent big
Buck Newsom to Autotown.
Gets Some Fine Backing.
Kennedy scattered six hits over
the Thinning route to stop the
Senators, 81. And last week he
hurled three hitter to mufde the
Athletics, 60.
Kennedy, the 30-year- old Missouri
highlander, got some very vita:
help from one Chet Laabs, who
cracked out triple in the 14th,
sending teammate Johnny Berardino
home with the game winning run. .
The Mats got even by taking the
second game, 6 to !.
While all that was going on in
Washington, the league leading
Yankees stretched their lead to II
games by socking the Detroit Tigers.
8-5. The victim was young Paul
(DizZy) Trout, who last month
humbled the Yanks with seven-hit
performance and beat them, 6-1. He
seemed happy to retire in the second
inning with his life, and that roar
ing in his ears was from base hits
blowing past. The Yankees don't
forget.
The Champs made five runs OF
their young foeman. and didn't seem
to mind later being out-homered
by 80.
The Chicago-Philadelphia game
was rained out and Cleveland and
Boston were not scheduled.
Dodgers and Cubs Deadlock.
The National League wound up
right where it started. with an
entire day practically wasted. al
though the Dodgers and the Cubs
got a good workout, even though
they couldn't reach decision. They
played eight innings before the rain
came, and were punched at 3 apiece,
after Brooklyn had belted Charley
Root out with two runs in the last
inning they played.
The Giant-Card game was washed
out, as was the Bees-Reds tilt at
Cincinnati. The Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh clubs were not on the
days billing.

NEW YORK. June 20-The de-
throwning of John Henry Lewis is
promising to bring more activity in
boxing's light heavyweight division
than that class has enjoyed in a
good many years.
Lewis, ruler of the 175-pound
division since 1885, never found his
title very profitable. He had to
scuffle around looking for good op-
position and even take a shot at
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis
in order to make it pay. And he
suffered an injury which cost him
the sight of one eye and, as result,
his title.
But now that most of the ruling
bodies Of boxing have withdrawn
title recognition from John Henry,
he may be able to cash in to some
extent on the excitement. And at
the same time several would be
champions are ready to do lot of
fighting to determine a successor to
Lewis.
New York First to Act.
The New York State Athletic
Commission first dropped Lewis
from it's titular rolls. Then the
Michigan commission wouldn't let
him fight Dave Clark because of
his impaired vision and the British
board of boxing control followed
suit when he went over to meet
Len Harvey. On his return the Ma
tional Boxing Association demanded
he undergo an examination. Yes
terday it stripped him of his title so
far as the 3O-odd States under its
jurisdiction are concerned for the
double reason that his vision was
impaired and that he hadn't de-
Tended the crown in six months.
Hardly had the N. B. A. decision
been announced when John Henry
