THE MAGIC OF THE
MOCCASIN

The sports picture is usually
.o;nted on a broad canvas with
p~oening strokes. AS such there
: nothing timid in a painting that
.sveals at once the rOsin and the
sweat of the prize ring, the dust
a. the diamond and the fanfare
II the gridirOn. And it is a bold
hr,,sh that depicts so wildly the
.meIl of the track, the green of
The fairways and the splinters of
tbe indoor boards as well as the
straining backs Of the stalwarts
who man the sweeps in an eight
man crew; the dash and the spirit
Of the winter sports enthusiasts
and the zip with which the water
surites play. But tucked away in
a corner is a more charming pic
ture: a more idylIic world of
sports than meets the eye at first
glance. 1t is the sporting world
in which the canoe and the sail
boat move and it reveals too the
forest trail that leads deep into
the woods.
Forever watching as we are the
main currents on such a tremen-
dous canvas on which the smoke
filled arenas Of shrieking thous-
ands and the blaring trumpets of
championship professions are her.

it any wonder then that the sport
of walking has evaded us all these
years. Walking a sport? IS fun

us before.
The philosophers. who. watch

by saying that modern civilization
needs an outlet. To which the
theorists add that sports, ergo, is
the outlet. SpOrts-playing or
watching-are the relaxing NOM

is the lust of battle, the nerve
tingling sensations of the last lap,
or perhaps the zOOm and zip of the
basketball court. Others find it
over an eighteen-hOIe golf course
and still others in refreshing
plunge into the sea. We hold with
this argument and if the world
of sports is a relaxing antidOte to
modern civilization then the magic
of the mOccasin still makes good
medicine. The lure of the trail
makes for grand sport.

AROUND THE TOWN:

@AOOONO HE 1OWNs
The State Departmental is
becoming increasingly embarrass-
ing to the Secretary of State that
the American Foreign Service has
been unable to obtain any peril
nent information ON the land of
horror that is Poland Every
day newsmen question Secretary
Hull, or one of the Assistant Sec
retaries, or Michael McDermOtt,
the press chief, on specific Incl
dents in Poland !. and every day
they are told, 1--WE have nothing
ON thatw
The Department freely admits
that the almost unbelievable
atrocities reported in Poland may
be true, but that it simply can't
confirm them. The lone Ameri-
can Consul in Warsaw isn't al
lowed by the German authorities
to leave that city-unless he
wants to leave the country alto
gether.
1t seems unlikely that this gov
eminent will ever learn, officially,
the whole truth. 1t is already
many months behind events.
Embassy Row-The Germans
have found a new excuse for keep
ing the Polish Relief Committee
and the American Red Cross out
of Poland A German Embassy
attache told an American reporter
that friction between the two or
CARNATIONS is preventing them
from accomplishing anything in
Poland" s. which on the face of
/ it, of course, is lame excuse.
The Hill-When William Dudley
Policy, the notorious anti-Semitic
publisher, blandly walked into the
Dies Committee offices and asked
whether any one was looking for
him, it was described by wise
Washington correspondents as
"the phOney ending to a phoney
, chase"
They give dozen reasons to
justify the viewpoint, and the
strongest one seems to be that
Policy arrived at the precise mo-
ment when Martin Dies needed
him to prove that Policy and Dies
were NOT pals and buddies.
....Pelley himself said, I'm giving
Martin Dies a clean bill of health"
This doesn't seem to be a state
ment that really gives Martin a
clean bill of health, however.
Frankly speaking, I don't think
Dies was ever overly anxious to
have Policy on the witness stand
but this was not because of
any love of Policy :. Dies figures
that Policy had been wrecked by
the disclosure by the committee
investigators of his financial man
ipulatiOnS, and it wasn't neceS-
sary to put him on the stand "tO
fill the record with bunch of
lies"
Hardest hit by the whole matter
is the very liberal Rep. Jerry
Voorhis who was chairman of the
subcommittee entrusted with find
ing Policy, and who fell down on
the job +. It wasn't until a few
days ago that Jerry discovered
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton was not searching for Policy.
Up to that time he thought
that the G-Men were on Pelley's
trail He had written them,

The Nazi salient driven at head

Tonight it lies like a broad bayonet

Why Line Broke
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, May 21.-Premier Rey-
maud announced in the Senate to-
day that the Germans had taken
Amiens and Arras and freely con-
fessed that the classical French
concept OF war had come up against
something new in deep motorized
raids and parachutists.
Telling the Senators "the truth"
because it alone "can save the
fatherland," the Premier declared
I'VE must take immediate decisions"
M. Reynaud spoke about 10 min

it necessary.

"The best troops had been sent

The Premier laid part of the blame

across the Meuse.

shouted and the Senate, which had
been listening in somber silence,

queror of Abd-el-K was forced
to fall back from their advance po-
sitions in Belgium to the line of the

Explaining the first phases of the
operations, M. Reynaud said that
when the Germans invaded Hol-
land, Belgium and Luxembourg, the
French were forced to move for

of prepared Notifications along the
Belgian frontier.

that the enemy launched its attack
