elections meant, is getting ready to
make its first political blunder on
the subject of national defense.
Although every experience in the
field of political behavior for many
years has indicated that it Is the
better part of caution to go along
with the party in power whenever
foreign policy questions arise. there
are some signs that the Republicans
are anxious to make political issue
out of the armament program of
the administration as well as out
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's sharp rebuke to
the Nazi government.
Nothing could be worse politically
for the Republicans than to give
aid and comfort to the Nazi press.
Gables from Germany are already
trying to divide America by ingeni-
Gus references to the Middle West"
attitude toward armament, but the
Republican members of Congress
who have expressed themselves seem
to be more affected by the fear that
President Roosevelt may get bit of
public acclaim for national policy
than they are by the Importance of
looking ahead to what the public
reaction will be if the Republicans
attempt to Illustrate the armament
program when it is before Congress.
The manifestations come in the
form of expressed cautions about
armament "hysteria, or else the
President is charged with creating
the armament issue as means of
diverting attention from domestic
questions or else a cautious warning
Is noted that defense must be for
"home protection" and that "hemi-
sphere defense" is unnecessary.
Tendency Is to Oppose.
Even though there is room for
debate as to the quality Of the arm
ament program and its proper scope.
the minority party leaders will
hardly be able to convince the coun-
try that the present international
situation is of Mr.. Roosevelt's max
ing. But politics sometimes breeds
emotions of bitterness and so deep
is the antagonism to Mr.. Roose-
velt's Indifference to the arbitrari-
ness and arrogance in his official
family in the last several years that
even when a desirable national pol
ley comes along, the temptation of
the opposition Is to belittle it or else
attribute wrongful motives to the
Executive In formulating the policy.
So far az the American people are
concerned, it is safe to assume they
are not interested in the polemics of
political rivalry or in the selfish
ness Of individual ambitions in Con-
gress, which rise and fall with a
Presidents popularity.
The administration Is so vulner-
able on domestic issues that the
Roosevelt strategists would like Moth
ing better than a controversy which
would take the eyes of the people
of the failures on domestic ques-
tions. The Republicans, fighting
the national defense and foreign
policy programs, would be giving the
administration a better defensive

NEW YORK, May 27.-With
George McQuinn of the Browns and

it begins to look as though the

the week before it was st. Louis in

Including yesterdays games Mar

Kansas City Blue Called
Most Damaging Hitter
In Organized Ball
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, MAY 27-It
broke his heart when the Boston
Bees sent him back to the minors,
crowned major league strikeout
king. But Vince Di Maggie is
breaking many pitchers heart
with his bat on the climb back.
Papa and mama gave him that
name, Vince. But pitchers in the
American Association pronounce it
vince The outfielder who
whitfield 134 times last year with
Boston already has earned the title
most damaging slugger in organ
lied baseball this spring.
He's hammered out Is home runs
in Sc games for the Kansas City
Blues of the American Association
He has developed new swing as
smooth as whipped cream.
Manager Bill Meyer of the New
York Yankees fledglings here aided
Di Maggie in acquiring a new bat
ting stance, one which permitted
him to keep his eye on the ball all
the way to the plate. Last season
Vince turned so far around at the
start of his cut he saw the ball with
only one eye for a time.
That was the reason for the Jerk
in his swing and why pitchers
were throwing the fast inside pitch
by him. Right now, according to
the records, he has been the most
damaging batter in any league.
And they said he couldn't hit"
Di Maggio's anemic .228 bat
ting average of 1888 has flowered
into .317 this spring. He has driv-
en- AZ mates across the plate, COM
pared with the 81 he counted in $50
games last season. One of his
round-trippers travelled 48O feet and
his 18th broke up a 13-inning con-
test.
There never was anything wrong
with his fielding. Baseball experts
rank him at least on a par with
his famous brother, Joe, on the
defensive.
And just a hint to seven Amer
ican League clubs: The Yankees
think enough of Vince to have one
OF their master scouts eyeing him.
Ironically, the New York Giants.
who once passed him up, now want
Vince to offset Joe. But the Yanks
won't turn him loose, the way he's

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 27-Although
they haven't been knocking their
sparring partners kicking like
couple of Joe LouiSes and there's
not much time left for them to start,
there's an idea going around that
next Thursdays l5-round scrap be-
tween Max Baer and Lou Nova at
the Yankee Stadium will end in a
knockout.
They will wind up their heavy
training over the week end, al
though Baer plans daily boxing un-
til Tuesday. Both are reported in
fine condition, and presumably. as
professionals in the beak- busting
business, quite able to knock a rival
kicking. But that doesn't seem to
be the point behind all the talk.
Old-Timers Back Nova.
Baer's ability TO do damage when
he lands his Sunday punch is well
known. Maybe he isn't as good as
he was few years ago but that ap-
pears to bring the possibility of a
knockout nearer If he can't last the
Is rounds. he'll have to go out and
try for quick finish.
Up at NoVa'S camp there has been
a steady stream of visitors who
have had nothing but praise for
the young Californian. Perhaps it
was because Promoter Mike Jacobs
figured Nova needed more build
up, but the spotlight has been con-
centrated upon him while Baer was
working hard in comparative quiet
up in the Catskills. And a lot Of
these old-time fighters. after cast
ing their keen eyes upon Nova, have
picked him to f1atten Make.
Nova Impresses Tunney.
The most recent was Gene Tun-
ney, who explained. "Baer is
sucker for a one-two punch and
this boy has honey"

bit stronger than earlier ones,
but so was Novas punching in a
