Activities Which Are
CamoufIdged

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. = The
Dies Committee was told yesterday
that the Nazi government, through
its Consul General at New Orleans,
has tried to inject unAmerican &C
tivities into American universities.
President John Sherman of Tam
pa University, told the committee
that German Consul General Won
Peckelhein had offered to give the
Florida school large addition to
its library Sherman said that the
consulate's offer was made on behalf
of the Nazi government.
The university president quoted
the consul as saying that the Ger
man government has made it prac-
tice to give books to schools which
have the right sort of German pro-
fessors. Sherman also quoted the
president of Tulane University as
expressing annoyance at the activ-
tiles of the Nazi representative.

Foretasfing: Third
Term! Democratic Split or
Comeback for Republicans
BY MORGAN M. BEATTY
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - Now
that the men who make political
history in the capitol have said all
they have to say about 1910 FOR the
record, what do they really think
about the presidential year ahead
OFF the record?
I have put the question to several
key men. have talked to Democrats
and Republicans, pro- Roosevelt men,
and anti-Rooseveit men, economy
minded men and spenders.
They are willing to think out
loud for your benefit, so long as I
do not give them away. It's too
early to be putting definite opin-
ions opposite ones name, especially
for men in a position of leadership,
or close to it, Early opinions often
come home to roost.
But just so you won't be misled,
I'm giving you general focus on
the political complexion of these
men. That will also give you an
idea how much what they say
should be discounted, if any.
Furthermore, all bets are off in
the event of World War or SINH
lar emergency.

Japanese Issue Statement
Regarding Charges
from Kaifeng

TOKYO, Aug. 22.-The Japanese
Foreign Office has issued a state
ment saying that there had been
no mistreatment of American citi-
zens at Kaifeng. 1t was said that
a thorough investigation had been
made. This incident closely followed
a hint from the Japanese news
papers tn retalitory measures
might be taken against the United
States if the proposed embargo on
arms shipments to Japan was put
into effect.
The newspapers also printed state
menCs to the effect that new policy
toward the United States was in the
process of naturalization.
Recently several reports have been
made to the United States Consul of
mistreatment to United States citi-
zent in the area around Kaifeng.
Reports now come as a direct con-
tradictioa.
The Foreign Office declared that
the foreigners were not being an
noyed and said that they have no
intention of leaving.

Germany has threatened the peace

By FRANCIS E.. STAN,
Star staff Correspondent.

DAYTONA BEACH. Fla, April 5.
After nearly 10 weeks of delibera-
ton Mr.. Stanley Raymond Harris.
erstwhile boy wonder as a man
ager of the Mats in 1924 and now
only a manager, is ready to commit
himself on the personnel of what
hilariously might be called WASH
ington's big four Of the pitching
staff.
For weeks now the possibilities
have been pictured as intriguing.
There were times when Mr.. Harris
seemed ready to name Roberto Ortiz
as the opening game pitcher. There
were other times when 1t looked
as if the starting hurlers would be
Alexandra Carrasquel, Arnold An
derson, Rene Monteagudo and
Bucky Jacobs. There was brisk
furry of votes for Joe Haynes on
more than one occasion.
But Harris big four today en-
braced no new or startling per-
sonages, with a single exception.
He listed the names OF Joe kra-
kauskas, Ken Chase, Dutch Leon
ard and Jimmy De Shong, and Of
the quartet only the name Of De
Shong comes as something OF a
surprise.
Jimmy Makes Real Comeback.
AS for the others-Carrasquel,
Ortiz, Monteagudo, Harry Kelley,
Anderson, Jacobs, Pete Appleton
and Haynes-they will have to wait,
to quote Harris, until they get
the opportunity and show they are
ready to displace one OF these fel-
lows"
The nomination of De Shong, and
Harris seems very positive on this
score, is a real tribute to Jitterbug
Jim. A year ago De Shong was
pretty close to being waived out
of the American League. He won
only five games and dropped eight.
His earned-run average was $50 per
game.
Early in the season Bucky
stopped using Jimmy as starter
and sentenced him to the bull pen.
When the important relief assign
ments came up Appleton was called
into the picture as the No. fire.
hat grabber.
He's Found That Fast Ball.
But now De Shong is a starting
pitcher again, at least according to
Mr.. Harris April S, II am. bulletin.
So far this spring De Shong hasn't
won an important decision. He was
charged with defeats at the hands
of the st. Louis Cardinals and the
Brooklyn Dodgers. The only victo-
rious game in which he participated
was when the Nat second team de-
feated Chattanooga.
But Jimmy has looked good. He
has looked as if he has regained the
fast ball which, in 1886, enabled
him to win 18 games and lose 10.
He worked six innings against
Brooklyn last Monday and was
charged with defeat when he al
lowed one run. But it was a score
