made" gives better results than
bandaging and manipulation by
physiotherapy. The results of con-
sentative treatment r so good
that it is recommended to be tried
in al cases before operation.
Mistaken Courage
Athletes think it is manly to re.
fuse an anaesthetic and stand the
pain of reduction of a d~islocation
and other injuries. In the experi-
ence of orthopedic surgeons, such
procedures simply mc..e perma.
nent injuries, by tearing ligaments
and muscles. In the old days when
anaesthetics were not so readily
available the capsule of the joints
was often torn so that recurrent
dislocations were common,
amounting to permanent disability.
Another thing that athletes and
their friends should remember,
emphasized by DR.. Thorndike, is
that the athletic injury should not
be treated once or tWiC2 and dis
missed. 1t requires constant watch
ing and support, when activity is
resumed, because the histories
show that recurrent injuries are
frequent at the same site.

In w ashington
BY BRUCE CATION

WASHINGTON.-Don't overlook
the Smith committees current eff
fort to prove t t Communists
have been running the labor board
An immensely interesting story,
lies back of it all.
Convinced that the board is more
or less loaded with Communists,
the Smith committee has b cen
looking for some board official who
might prove sore enough about the
situation to spill the beans. And
the man the committee finally has
tagged for that role is the very
man whom the committee itself a
few months ago was denouncing
as the worst of Communists-Da-
vid j. Saposs, head of the boards
economic research division.
So far, the squeeze play hasn't
worked. It has landed Saposs in
the position of a man who bumped
into himself in a revolving door,
but it hasn't resulted in the hoped
for revelation. But the steps in
the drama are significant.
FAR FROM
COMMUNISM
In its report last spring Saposs
was the one board official tn e
committee e%xcoriated as a Com
munist. Shocked by the commit
tees charges, Congress refused to
appropriate any money for tn e
work of Saposs's division. Saposs,
who is so far from being a Com
munist that he enjoys the support
and confidence Of the boards lone
moderate" member, DR.. William
Leiserson, felt that he vas some
how being made the coat, and
tried to do something about it.
What Saposs did was visit two
congressmen-Keefe of Wisconsin
and Engel of Michigan-and have
a long chat, in which he explained
his economic and political views
and succeeded fairly well in un-
pinning the Communist label from
his shirt front. What else he said
is in dispute; Keefe told the COM
mittee that Saposs and Saposs's
chief aide, George w. Brooks, went
on to tell him there were plenty
of Communists on the 'oard, That
he-Sapsoo-knew who they were,
and that he was disposed to ex-
pose them.
Called before the Smith commit
tee. Saposs and Brooks denied this;
1I- +ooL tha stand and reaf-
firmed it. Engel took the view
that what Saposs may have said in
a private conversation was none
of anybody's especial business.
OWES BOARD
NOTHING
Meanwhile something else had
been happening. Although congress
in June voted his money away,
Saposs didn't lose his job, tt
board shuffling it's funds so as to
keep him and his division at work.
Now however, the House has re-
newed its earlier action, putting
enough teeth in the new bill to
make Saposs's dismissal unavoid-
able. This bill is pending in the
Senate at tbs writing.
The theory back of this action
is simple-namely, that is Saposs
were finally convinced his place
on the board was gone, he would
be willing to go on the witness

port of the Smith committee. draft
ed at the labor board and designed
to refute as many as possible OF
the committee majority's accusa-
tons, openly threw him to the the
wolves.
It hasn't worked out that way,
though. Saposs is in bad with prac-
tically everyone-with the Smith
committe, which thought it could
make him talk and failed, and
with the dominant people inside
the labor board, who 1--we never
liked him and who are afraid he
might yet decide to talk out OF

Charlottesville Speech
By the Associated Press.

DS VIC ASSOSldleC FEeSS.
TOPEKA, Kans., June l5.-Alf NJ
Landon charged today President
Roosevelt had taken a course "in
the direction of a war for which the
Nation is utterly unprepared and
to which the vast majority of the
people are opposed"
MIR. Landon, G. o. P. presidential
nominee in 1886, said in a statement
that although he had supported the
administrations foreign policies in
the past he was profoundly dis
turbed" by the Presidents attitude
as disclosed in his Charlottesville
speech.
THE President offered to the
Allies the material resources of the
Nation as if the material resources
OF the Nation were his to dispose of.
This is not the way of democracy.
1t is the way of dctatorships-the
way just taken by Mussolini."
Mr.. Landon said the Presidents
speech had been interpreted by the
British press as indicating that
America is about to enter the war.
He knows, if the British do not,
that only Congress has the author
ity to declare war and that Congress
has not the slightest notion of de-
claring war.
Nevertheless, his language wss
SO emotional and so loose that it
lent itself to this British interpreta-
tion. It would be cruel indeed to
arouse false hopes in the nations
that are fighting for their exist
ence."
