And What
They Do
Count Csoky Adroit
In Getting Into
World Headlines
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.


Despite Hungary's humble posi-
tion In the none too amiable sister
hood Of European nations, Count
Stephen Csaky, Hungarian foreign
minister. manages to invest himself
and his country with sufficient i'm
portance these febrile days to gain
for both their share of headlines in
the press Of the civilized world.
Cast in the role of a faithful Fido
to growl at Rumania if need be and
to wag tail or show teeth to Poland,
Yugoslavia and Bulgaria as may be
expedient, Count Csaky's movements
about Europe are heralded and gos-
siped about. And to his presence in
Rome or on the top of Herr Hitler's
Obersalzburg Mountain, or wherever
else official mission may carry him,
is attached significance no less great
than that of ministers whose port
folios relate to the mightiest of chan
celleries.
He comes, as so many diplomats
seem to be coming these days, from
the press, his career previously hav-
ing lain in the publicity department
of the foreign Office at Budapest,
where his adroitness and general
efficiency lined him up for more
significant activity. He is as years
old, darkly handsome and his in
stincts are as canny as his per-
sonality is ingratiating. Hitler and
Mussolini have both spoken cor
daily of his ability and Count Ciano
of Italy quite evidently regards him
as a diplomatic peer.

Champ Clark of Missouri if he were
liberal, the answer, from Mr.. Clark,
would be: "Of course I'm a liberal "
Senator Harry Flood Byrd of Vir-
ginia would make similar claims.
And If the matter were broached to
Senator Burton X. Wheeler of Mon
tana, his answer would be so en-
phatic as to be almost apoplectic.
President Roosevelt, however, in
his recent message to the Young
Democratic Clubs, must have meant
something when he said that he did
not propose to support actively any
conservative nominated on the Dem
ocratic national ticket, or any Dem
ocrat who merely gave lip service
to liberalism" And generally it has
come to be understood the President
regards the gentlemen already
named as not sufficiently liberal. not
sufficiently loyal to his New Deal to
command his support in the coming
election.
Five Liberal Contenders.
In the light of the Presidents
statement, therefore, it becomes nee
essary to examine the list of posi-
bilities for the Democratic nomina-
ton with a more critical eye, pre-
suming, of course, that the Demo-
cratic National Convention of 1910
will not care to nominate a candi-
date who would not have Mr.. Roose-
velt's support. 1t looks very much
as though the President would have
to decide-or the convention would
have to decide-upon the nomina-
ton of one of five contenders-Paul
v. McNutt of Indiana, former Gov
ernor and recently appointed by the
President to be Federal Security ad-
ministrator; Gov. Lloyd C. Stark of
Missouri. chief executive of a great
Middle West State and the dethroner
of Boss" Tom Pendergast of the
Kansas City machine; Secretary
Cordell Hull of the Department of
State, who halls from Tennessee and
who has won the admiration of mil
lions of Americans in his present
capacity: Postmaster General James
A. Farley of New York, chairman of
the Democratic National Committee
and builder of the greatest national
organization the party has ever had,
and Senator Alben w. Barkley of
Kentucky, majority leader of the
Senate.

a
a bit-and, of course, in the belief
that Mr. Roosevelt will not seek a
third term. The great majority of
Democrats-eyen those who say
publicly they would 60 along with
the President in a drive for third
term-devoutly hope that Mr.
Roosevelt will not permit his name
to be laid before the convention
1t is true that many of Mr.. Roose-
velt's immediate circle-office hold
ers for the most part-are terribly
anxious that he run again. And
there are some others who believe
that only by renominating the
President will they themselves have
any chance for denomination and
re-electi6n-like Senator Guffey of
Pennsylvania. But Democrats in
high places who have stood by the
President through thick and thin
fear that should he run again the
third-term issue, plus other issues,
would be too much for the party to
overcome in the presidential race.

If "co-operation" is to come, it
will be when the A. F. l.. and
the c. I. o. and the National As
sociation of Manufacturers each
shows the public they sincerely
mean to cooperate. The best way
for this to be demonstrated, of
course, is for public announcements
to be made that do not always
blame the other fellow and do not
insist always on a 100 per cent ac-
ceptance of its own views, but modi-
fies them clearly in the common
interest. This is a formula which
will assure the rise of industrial
production.

Speaking Of Sports

Retain Worlds
Speed Record
By ROBERT McSHANE

"A COUPLE Of lantern-jawed Eng
lishmen and an American avia-
ton engineer decisively shattered
land speed records during the past
year, furnishing thrills aplenty and
setting up brilliant records for speed
artists to try and break.
The duel for the distinction Of trav-
cling faster along the ground than
any other human being was won by
Capt. George E. T. Eyston, who
whizzed through q measured mile
at 357.5 miles per hour last Septem-
Der. He thus erased the mark Of
350.2 established only "A hours pre-
viously by his compatriot, John r.
Cobb, London fur broker.
The engineer, Floyd Roberts of
Van Mugs, Calf, roared to hard
earned victory in the 500 mile Indi-
annapolis classic when he achieved a
record speed of ll7.2 miles per hour.
Late in August his black, seven
ton Thunderbolt travelled over the
saline course at Bonneville Flats,
Utah, to raise from 311.42 to 345 40
the standard which he himself had
set there in November of 1887.
The gallant captain was deprived
of one record performance. Three
days prior to establishing the rec
sofd'in such decisive fashion, Eyston
had attained . speed Of 347.15s on
one dash down the Is mile straight
away. However. on the return run,
required to strike an average and
make the mark official. the timer

Grid Rule Changes

THE rules COMMITTEES Of the Ne
: tional Collegiate Athletic associ-
alton, meeting recently, held one Of
its shortest and most uneventful ses-
sions-much to the delight Of thou
sands Of coaches throughout the ma
ton.
Only two changes in intercollegiate
football rules were adopted by that
committee. They are:
!. The penalty for forward pass
striking an ineligible player shall be
the loss Of q down and Is yards
from the point Of the previous
down, instead Of loss Of the ball.
.. All ineligible players-usually
the center, guards and tackles-must
remain on the line Of scrimmage
until after pass Is thrown. The
penalty for violation will be Is yards
and the play also will count As .
down.
The rules committee can well be
congratulated for the adoption of
these two rules. For one thing the
new rules will undoubtedly encou-
rage the use Of shovel passes-short
passes behind or to the line of scrim-
mage. 1t is very possible, of course,
that they may lead to longer rum
backs by the opponents on intercept
ed passes because fewer players will
now be allowed to 60 down under a
pass.

Cups and Coaches

DITY the poor football coach for
his lack of job security, but at
the same time reserve some of your
sympathy for coaches, managers,
etc.. of other sports. Theirs is by
no means a bed of roses.
Take the case of BALD BilP'
Stewart, former coach of the Chi
cago Black Hawks, world champion
hockey team last year.
Stewart learned recently that no
speedy wingman can skate half as

pends largely ON his teams ability

done with losing teams. The Black
