Talk about constitutional rights

about stop lights or parking tickets or

The high court of appeals in Eng

constitutional right to stand in the
middle of the road and chen her cud,
and let traffic go hang or go around.
At least the court said that co,Us do not
noue in straight lines and no driver

in straight line or stay out of the road.
The decision ,Uas made in a case tuhere

CHICAGO LINE-UPS

Speaker Bill Bankhead is in a
direful predicament.
It's a White House secret, but the
courtly hammered and able Ala
baman is the Presidents personal
choice for keynoter at the Demo-
cratic conventional high honor
much sought after by a number of
big shot party leaders. At least
half dozen are pulling every pos
sible wire to land it.
But Bankhead, who can have it on
a silver platter, doesn't know wheth-
er he wants it or not.
Reason for his dilemma is a
virulent case of vice presidentitis.
Bankhead feels he is a strong sec
ond-place possibility and that the
keynote speech customarily is made
by a dignitary who is not candi-
date. For him to accept the role,
therefore, would be an admission
that he was out of the running. And
Bankhead is anything but that. He
is very much in the vice presiden-
tial race.

cause he liked the speakers witty
speeches at the last two Jackson
day banquets. But while flattered,
the speaker is still undecided wheth-
er to accept the Presidents offer.
Note-Roosevelt's choice for per-
manent chairman of the convention
is Senate Floor Leader Alben Bark
ley, 1886 keynoter and also vice
presidential hopeful, though not a
very hot-and-bothered one. The
Presidents choice for his floor man.
ager is brainy little Senator Jimmy
Byrnes, assisted by Senators Minton
of Indiana, Pepper of Florida, Lister
Hill of Alabama and Mayor Ed
Kelly of Chicago.

HOOVER VS.. LANDON

Behind the scenes a bitter strug-
gle is shaping up between Herbert
Hoover and ALI Landon at the Phila-
delphia convention.
The ex-President is bent on writ
ing into the platform an endorse
ment" of his administration along
the lines of the one in the Glenn
Frank Program committee report.
Landon is not fatty opposed to this,
although he considers it unnecessary
and likely to prove campaign
handicap.
But he is prepared to wage last
ditch fight for a liberal platform.
He is determined to resist to the end
Hoover's plans for a platform to fit
his conservative views. Landon is
against any blanket denunciation of
the New Deal.
Landon will be in powerful posi-
ton to wage his battle. In addition
to leading a midwestern bloc of at
least 100 votes, he also will be the
Kansas member on the resolutions
committee.
Note-In it's original form the ar
rangement under which Hoover will
speak Tuesday night, the first ses-
sion of the convention, also called
for a speech by Landon. But this
was dropped when it was pointed
out that as a delegate he can get
the floor any time.

WILLKIE BOOSTER

Remember the Liberty league
which crusaded against the New
Deal in 1886? And remember Jouett
Shouse, it's dapper head, who was a
crony of Al Smith and the dup Points?
Well, Jouett is now the No. Wash
ington booster of Wendell Willkie.
dewey will lead on the first bal
lot" he says, "but that will be his
high point. From then on he will
fade out of the picture. On the Sec
ond ballot, Taft will jump to the
front. But he, too, won't have the
staying power; and on the third bal
lot Vandenberg will forge to the fore
for moment. But that will shoot
his bolt. He won't have what it
takes to make the grade and the
leaders will then turn to the one
man who has--Willkie.
Con the fourth ballot Willkie will
lead and after that it will be stam-
pede.''
Shouse's explicit forecast should
interest the other candidates-par-
ticularly Senator Taft, who has pub
licly declared he will lead on the
first ballot. 1t also is interesting in
view of the fact that Willkie is the
one dark horse who SO far hasn't a
single delegate pledged to him.

In Chicago Meet

Own Mark; Stors Pack
Distance Events
BY TOM SILER.

CHICAGO. March %. -Lanky
Earle Meadows of California is
going up into the air again tonight
and he hopes to come down with a
new indoor pole vault record.
Meadows, co-holder of the Olympic
record, came to the Chicago relays
a year ago with the same aim-and
went away with a new mark, vault
ing IA feet 6A inches. This year
he's after not only better indoor
performance, but also his straight
first place in the relays.
The star pole vaulter is one of a
star-studded field making a mass
assault on records tonight in the
International Amphitheater.
Fenske After Meet Mark.
Chuck Fenske, new king of the
milers, is shooting for his eighth
victory of the season. He has de-
signs on the meet record of 4:099
minutes established two years ago
by Glenn Cunningham, Fenske's s
predecessor as mile champion. With
Fenske and Cunningham tonight
will be Gene Venzke and Archie San
Romani. All have run better in
door mile than the Kansan's two
year-old mark.
Another meet record apparently
in danger is the 2-mile mark of
9:05 set by Don Lash last winter.
Greg Rice of Notre Dame, hottest
2-miler this season; Walter Mehl of
Wisconsin, Tommy Deckard of In
diana and Lash, all have done better
this year: Rice setting a new record
for the distance few weeks ago.
Stars Crowd 900" Race.
Another highlight should be the
600-yard special race, featuring
Jimmy Herbert of New York u,
Charley Beetham, ex-Ohio State
star; Roy Cochran, Indiana boy who
set new Big Ten mark two weeks
ago; Charles Belcher, formerly of
Georgia Tech, and Wesley Wallace,
Fordham.
A special series of sprint races will
present Northwestern's Myron Piker,
Big Ten champion, against Mozel

now is that his pitchers ARE coming

CLEARWATER, Fla, March 23.-
Among the sillier manifestations Of
spring in these parts are the hold
out situations involving Dolf Camilh
of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Joe
Medwick of the st. Louis Cardinals.
After devoting an entire afternoon
trying to make some sense out Of
the two celebrated cases, I can an.
nounce only that all is confusion.
Camilli was interviewed first, Just
before he went out to play first base
against the Cardinals. He was asked
II he had signed contract.
NO." said Camilli.
He was asked why he hadn't
signed contract.
Because I haven't been able to
find Mr.. MacPhail since we agreed
on terms" said Camill. i've been
past his Office twice, but he wasn't
in either time"
Dolf was asked if he didn't think,
all things considered, that he ought
to have contract if he was going
to continue to play for the Dodgers.
oh, I'm not worried about that"
said Dolf. airily. "Once I played a
whole season in the minors without
a contract. All I'm worried about
is getting those checks. They're a
lot more legal than any contract"
Subsequently, it was learned that
General Manager Larry MacPhail
hadn't been around for day or two.
Somebody thought he might be over
at Lake Wales. Fla. 1t was agreed
that the Brooklyn boss was sore at
Camilli and was letting him sweat
for a time. Camilli, it is alleged,
aimed some salty language at Mac
Phail the other day.
The Medwick case next was taken
under advisement. The husky Card
outlelder was located in a grand
stand box, saying nothing to Vice
President Branch Hickey of the
Cardinals, who was sitting in the
same box.
Joe was asked if he had signed.
He shook his head. Hickey was
asked if there was anything to re-
port on the situation. He said no.
Both acted like they preferred to be
left to devote their attention to the
game
Cardinal Manager Ray Blades said
he knew nothing about the Medwick
situation. Ray implied that he had
his hands full trying to put together
a shortstop-second base combina-
ton. Now he is giving Joe Orengo
a trial at second base.
Those who are supposed to be
more or less on the inside of the
Meawick case declared that there no
longer is any argument between him
and Hickey over the amount of Joes
salary.
Hickey, they say, now is the hold
out. Say, is this MacPhail thing
catching?
Hickey, they say, is determined to
make new and better boy out of
Medwick. The report, difficult to
confirm, has it that Hickey wants
Joe to make an official promise that
he will play his head off for the
Cards and give full obedience and
allegiance to Manager Blades.
Medwick blew up once last season
when Blades removed him from the
lineup and they are known not to
be pals.
