"No Collection Needed"

I am writing you for the first
time in regard to the guy that
calls himself, Lover of Hitler"
I have just finished reading
what the Lover of America"
had to say about the great
Lover of Hitler.
I am a baker and I have
worked with German bakers for
the last tnirty-five years.
I know some of these Ger
man bakers are Lovers of Hit
Ter" but I don't think any of
them want to go back to Ger
many.
Let alone kissing Hitler's feet.
If the time ever comes for
this Lover of Hitler" to go back
to Germany I do not think the
Lover of America" will have to
put in his share, or the Wash.
ington Times have to take any
collection either. A BAKER.

Predicts Baneful Results

The appointment of Hopkins
as Secretary of Commerce was
bad enough, but that of Murphy
as Attorney General caps the
climax.
Murphy has become a symbol
of official and political inepti-
tude for his surrender to and
compromise with the forces OF
disorder and destruction in our
national life.
1t is now advanced in justi-
fication of his conduct in the
sit-down strike that to have
used force to suppress them
would have resulted in their
destroying the property of the
companies.
Such an argument, if carried
to its logical conclusion, means
that in the event of revolution
the Government will supinely
surrender, and permit itself to
be overthrown by hoodlum and
gangSter elements of society
rather than endanger someone's
property.

Mrs. L." in a recent issue of
the Voice, you stated that 1924
scientists declared themselves
against naziism and fascism but
favor democracy. You wanted
to know why they did not come
out against communism. Mrs.
L., as one who is seeking in
formation, will you please tell
me just what are the dangers of
communism and just what is the
basic principle upon which COM
munism was founded?

Disappointed Charles

Read the Presidents Congress
sional speech, and considering
it came from the man who holds
the highest office in the land, it
was very disappointing indeed.
Why does the President per-
The Washington times., 1939-01-10

still talked of The Big Wind.
With tragedy growing faint
through time, humor-the in
evitable. irrepressible Irish hu-
mor-began to assert itself And
the stories about The Big Wind
became so tremendous that they
made a piHer out of Paul Bun
yam, the fabulous liar of our
great Northwest.
And then at last. out of the
Wind, came opportunity-and
the Irish we're not slow to take
advantage of it. Few vital
statistics we're kept in the coun-
try until the late sixties-and
where those were kept the Big
Wind blew down the buildings
Or so said the Irish. For Eng
land had been persuaded to pass
an old-age pension act for the
benefit of the siSter-isle-this
was some thirty years ago.
Everybody aged seventy was
eligible and the law went into
effect on January 8, 1909-just
seventy years, mark, you, after
the passing of The Big Wind.
And what a grand wind the
big wind became overnight in
Ireland! 1t echoed sWeetly and
gently and ever so persuasively
in every pension office from
Bengore Head to Bantry Bay,
from Inishmore to KingstoWn
Harbor. And there was nothing
the English could do about it
but pay and pay and pay.
EVERYTHING went back to
that fearful night of 1889
and hale-looking men and
women, that you could have
sworn were not a day over so,
came SWarming about the SaSse-
mach distributors of cash and
on their heels were scores of
relatives and friends. All of
them were ready and willing to
swear that the applicant for an
old-age pension was either born
the night of The Big Wind or
was a scared baby in his or her
mothers arms when the great
storm struck.
With the coming of the pen
sion law those few birth records
that had been kept were by COM
mon agreement-among the
Irish, not the English-de-
stroyed and, of course, The Big
Wind was blamed.
All the arguments advanced
were met with fearful or angry
protestations-wasn't England
up to her old tricks once again;
offering pensions to the poor
and old of Ireland and then
trying to avoid payment under
technicalities?
Augustine Birrell, who was
Chief Secretary of Ireland at the
time, wrote book about the
second Big Wind-of pensions,
this time. He called it Things
Past Redress"
That was a good title-for
there wasn't a thing England
could do about it but pay off.

STARS FINALLY
WHIP BLUE SOX

Acevedo Stars, after losing two
games to Blue Sox, finally over
came the jinx and won a game
from their eternal rivals, 8 to 5.
Using two of the best pitchers
in Key West, Robert Bethel and
Puby Carbonell, the Stars held
the Sox in check until the last
two innings when the losers
scored all their runs.
Sox played minus Fidel Lopez,
shortstopman, who joined the
Pirates outfit. Ralph Arnold,
star Junior player, filled his
place during part of the game but
was sent to centerfield after COM
hitting several errors. Jesus
Garcia made one play at short,
after shifting from center to that
position, and left the game. The
Sox lineup then shifted all
around and the defense collapsed.
Carbonell, who pitched the lat
ter part of the game for the Stars
and off of whose delivery the
losers got all their runs, caught
during the first half of the con-
test. Esmond Albury went be-
hind the plate when Puby took
the mound.
Stars scored their runs off Diaz
Ibut several were unearned. Mo-
lima, cork-arm pitcher, relieved
Diaz after the halfway mark and
held the opposition in check.
