from the "Reds" land to this purpose the congression
al committee subpenaed Witnesses, offered bulky evil
derce, held ed1 ess hearings, and issued lengthy
dictments which made front page throughout the
nation.
But responsible newspapers like the Washington
Star and the Washington Post poked fun at Dies and
his committee while they gave headlines to the
revelations which the "savours Of country dug
out. Co1,mnists ridiculed the findings, Labor and
civic groups criticized the techniques in the
inquiry, and the public in general became quite
sceptica1 Of both the committee and it's aims.
Witnesses before the committee were discredited
in cases, evidence used often seized by
dubious means-by theft, bride and assault, hear
ings were sometimes secret, and the open ses-
sions run in such hapazard and biased that
leading lawyers and Congressional figures commented
openly the fraud, the indictments made never
presented to the accused, the victims of
these broad accusations ever allowed to appear in
their own defense. The methods Of the Dies Commit
tee strongly suggested fascist justice and the
group several occasions accused of fascist
sympathes. One prominent Nazi leader named Martin
Dies and Father Coughlin the two most promising
leaders in America.
With this background it was hard to understand
why the committee was voted more funds. Some have
thought that Administration leaders less harm
in letting the committee go its silly way than in
suppressing it. Others lay the credit for its new
life to pressure on Congress from cough1in letter
writer's.
Whatever the reason, a further appropriation ez.-
tended the couitte life. The last few
renewals of the "startling" revelations which
characterized the committee before.
In the meantime the international situation has
changed. Vie need to be the al ert for spies and
sabotage in this country, but do this without
witch hunts. The technique of the G es Committee
have not changed. The seizures of evidence made
by force and sometimes without legal sanction. The
recent raid Communist Party headquarters in Chi
cago was vaguely reminiscent Of the American Legion
viglate disorders during the depths Of the depres
sion. The stealing Of Socialist Party documents Last
week in Washington is the sort Of thing for which
are condemning European relationships. Nor is the
committee satisfied to stop with those two political
parties. Dies has said public platform what he
thinks about the Democratic Party, and would probably
go to extreme lengths in order to "prove" the rad
ica1im Of the New Deal.

By BURTON HAWKINS,
Star Staff Correspondent.

CLEVELAND, July 2l.-Mr. Ro-
berto Estalella, the quaint Cuban
who occasionally wedges his way
into the Mats lineup, by this time
has learned to harbor no love for
spacious Griffith Stadium. Bobby
holds the unique distinction of being
branded failure on his home dia-
mond and something of a sensation
on foreign fields.
1t may be the vast acreage of
Griffith Stadium dwarfs Estalella's
ambition. Bobby, anyway, has
sWatted a mere $50 in games at
home this season. but on the road
his whacking has averaged a more
respectable 1902.
The laughing Latin outfielder cur
rently is struggling along with
mediocre .277 average. but there is
sneaking suspicion Bobby still would
make the major league with graft
flying bang if presented the oppor-
tunity to perform regularly.
Bobby has stepped to the plate
only 10 official times in the eight
games of the present Western trip,
but on six of those occasions he
slammed hits. including two home
runs and double, and drove In five
runs.
Esty's Homer Beats Detroit.
The latest of those circuit clouts
was authored yesterday at Detroit
and gave the Mats an 81 victory.
1t gave Bobby more unbridled ioy
than any blow he has blasted this
season, for it was rammed off blus-
terry Buck Newsom. who admittedly
doesn't relish the presence of Estal-
ella in the American League.
The mountainous Detroit right
handler hasn't veiled his dislike for
Bobby either vocally or physically.
He has made it a practice to dust"
Esty with inside fast balls and when
Buck isn't pitching he gleefully
selects Bobby as the target of his
assorted verbal abuse.
I'll get him outa the league if
they let me pitch often enough
against him. boasts Newsom. I've
got him scared to DEATH"
But Bobby didn't know he was
supposed to quiver when baseball's
earache marched to the mound.
At least Esty didn't suffer any i'll
effects yesterday. The Mats had tied
the score at 6-6 when Buddy Myer
scored from second on Angelo Giuli-
ani's single to right with two out in
the eighth. That drove Archie Nc
Kahn from the box and in came
NeWsom to face Estalella.

Deemed Bad News
For Flag Rivals
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 21.-Bill Nc
kechnie says his Cincinnati Reds
are going to play better ball from
here on, which is bad news for
seven other National League clubs.
1t might be taken, in fact, as a
prediction the Reds will meet the
Yankees in the next Worlds Series,
except that McKechnie would scalp
any one who quoted him as max
ing such a phophecy.
We're going along very nicely"

sad. I think we're going to be
better, too. Our pitching is inn
proving steadily. The rest of the
club has been better than the pitch

right balance.
"Derringer and Walters have
pitched great ball right along. but
you can't win pennant with two
pitchers. Now Johnny Wander Nicer
is getting his control back. and Lee
GrlSSom is gaining confidence that
his arm is we'll again. Junior
Thompson is pitching such great
relief ball that I'm going to have
to make him regular starter"
So there you are If the Reds
have been able to gain eight lengths
over their rather drab rivals with
only a tWo-man mound staff it
stands to reason they are going to be
wolves the rest of the way.
And by the way" said McKech-

with three regulars on the bench
Goodman, lombard and Craft. Our
reserves are coming through fine,

McKechnie is tickled with the fine

he picked up for S25 5000 last spring
after the American League had
waived him out. Though hitting but

Chicago Climbs
From Fifth in
Big Surge
Bosox Are Shut Out
By Lee; Giants Lose
Sixth Straight
BY BILL WHITE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Wonder what kind of superethyl
gas Jimmy Dykes is using in that
White Sox machine of his?
The Chicagoans, in case you've
been busy watching the Yankees,
have won IS of their last 10 games,
have risen from the depths of fifth
place to a challenging position in
what is left of the American League
race, and are just three and one
half games back of the runner-up
Boston Red Sox.
Until two days ago the Sox hadn't
been able to shut out an opponent,
but now they are boasting about
pair of whiteWashing jobs.
The second consecutive one came
yesterday, and the Red Sox were
the victims by 40 score as Thorn
ton Lee turned in a nine-hit Job
that was backed up by four neatly
executed double plays.
Yanks Make 1t Eight in Row.
Included in the Chicago upswing
since the first of the month is
sweep of the St. Louis series, two
out of three over Cleveland, a clean
sweep of three games with Detroit,
lost series to Philadelphia, two
straight victories over WASHINGTON

the fact the Yanke got l3 hits and
threatened to bust loose any minute.

pitch himself out of lot of trouble
before he came up with a 80 deci-
sion over the stubborn Philadelphia
