PERSONAL WAR OF
Munich Bombing Is Cause
NERVES FOR HITLER
By PRESTON GROVER
AP Feature Service Writer
ssOsSesssessssssssssssss


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-In
spite of statements laying on
British agents the responsibility
for the Munich beer hall bomb
ing, it is better than an average
gamble that Herr Hitler doesn't
sleep well these nights wonder
ing if some of his friends had a
hand in the business.
Doubtless the British would not
go into mourning over any trag
edy which might overtake the
Reichskanzler. But if the British
did it Hitler has reason to reor-
game his police.
Being dictator is a nice job but
it has its drawbacks. A man
can't trust even his friends. Oft
en- enough the rise to power is
measured in sword thrusts. So
it was both in Germany and Rus
Sla. Inc purgeS IN those two
countries caught up old friends
and foes alike The victims oft
EN- were merely suspected OF
wanting to do what someone in
Germany actually tried to do in
planting the bomb in the beer
garden in Munich.
In dictatorial Italy, the purge
was accomplished in rough humor
with quarts of castor oil forced
down the threats of hapless sus
poets. There the method seems to
have produced less bitterness
than in the other two dictator
ships but even Mussolini has
been fired upon and now car
ries a nick in his nose from an
aSSasin's bullet.

! an act unperformed by her, but
rather by her sister ship. Cap
| tain Dallas of the Constellation
was called commodore, according
TO the naval records; but that
was merely courtesy title given
him because he commanded a
squadron. The rank of commo-
dore was not established until
1862.
Constitution Was In East
When the Constellation came
to the defense of Cayo Hueso the
Constitution was in Mediterran-
can waters under command of
! Capt. Jesse d. Elliott, and the
cruise continued from 1885
through 1888. There is no record
to indicate that Capt. Dallas of
the Constellation ever served on
the Constitution as he is credited
with doing by several historians:
; certainly the Constitution never
got to Key West until December
81, 1882, when, reconditioned by
the pennies of the school children
of America, "Old Ironsides", in
tow of The U.S.S. Minesweeper
Grebe, reached this port on a
tour of the nations coastal wa
tiers, and remained several days.
! The Constellation served dur
ing the Wilson administration as
a training ship for recruits at
:! Washington. On Nov. %. 1894,
| a memorandum from "U.S.S.
Training Ship Constellation" !,
signed by Lieut.. Com. E. w. Hin
ton, ordered the vessel to New
port, r. l., before Dec. 5 of that
year. The very next day the Con-
stellation had mighty narrow
escape in storm: was driven
ashore with 20 men on board.
After being rescued she was tow
ed to Newport. She lost two an
F., chors when cast adrift in Chesa-
peake Bay.
Three Sister Ships
| Constellation was one of three
j sister ships built during the ad
ministration of President George
| Washington. The others were
the Constitution and the United
States. The latter was retired
years ago, and destroyed. The
noted Constitution was saved for
posterity only through the late
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
deathless poem, "Old Ironsides"
you remember snatches of
it?-
"Ay, tear her tattered ensign
downl
/ Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to
That banner in the sky.
| Built in Baltimore, the Constel-
lation was lowed there for the
Star Spangled Banner centennial
in September, 1881. On her way
to Baltimore she put in at Nor
folk, where guns and spars were
installed TO give the frigate the
appearance she had in the yes

took part in the war with Tri-
poll in 1902. and struck terror to
the British in the War of 1912.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. =
When you get ready to plough

your eyes are feasting lovingly
on all the chestnut stuffing,
cranberry sauce and ice cream
and cake that goes with it, you
might remember that George
Washington and Franklin d.
Roosevelt were both vitality in
terested in Thanksgiving.
It was George Washington
who first proclaimed the fourth
Thursday in the month the Off
cial Thanksgiving date. Presi-
dent Roosevelt set it up to No
yember 23rd this year and about
half of the country has followed
his date.
Skipped Four Years
George Washington did not
proclaim a Thanksgiving day for
four years after his first procla-
nation. He thought that the ac-
tons of the people were too vul-
gar in their rejoicings and once
picked December 10 as the Off
cial date because he thought the
first northern SHOWS would kill
off much of the vulgar display.

key tomorrow or next Thursday
or both days you will get your
Thanksgiving dinner at a cheap

Commercial League bowlers per- forming in double header at the Brunswick alleys last night, pro- duced two lop-sided decisions.
 First game between New York Tavern and Rainier Beer was a walkaway win for the Beer crew. They took all three games, their closest push coming in the second game when their 541 was on top by only ' pins. Magasino of the winner counted a SIT for individual scoring honors.
 Another beer sponsored club, the Alt Heidelberg, duplicated the three straight feat by knocking off the Broadway Cabbies in that fashion. Total pins for the winners was 1885 as compared to l446 for the Cab bies.
 Startling feature of this contest was a three-game score of CAT rolled by Hildinger of the Hidelberg. This one of the outstanding tourna- nent marks of the year. His game started strong at l9l, kept going up Q 22l and 235. His tally won all honors for the evening.
