NAZI CENSORSHIP


It's not being widely publicized,
but Nazi Germany already holds q
tight rein on all messages sent by
the state department to its diplomats
in parts of Europe. In fact, the
state department is unable to COM
municate at all with certain sections,
and communications to other sec
tions must be relayed through Ber-
lin.
The department has its secret
codes for transmission of official
messages, but codes are no good if
the messages don't move.
If Mr.. Hull wants to communicate
with a member of the u. S. diplo-
matte staff in Paris, he cannot do so
directly, but must file to the new
French capital of Vichy, and from
there, subject to the within of the
Petain government, the message
may be moved on to Paris.
A short time ago, messages had
to be sent via Berlin, with the hope
that Nazi officials would permit
the U. S. embassy there to relay the
message to Paris by courier.
Both Brussels and Antwerp are
completely cut off, except through
Berlin, but oddly enough, Rotterdam
and Antwerp are open for direct
communication. Any messages from
Washington to Norway's capital,
Oslo, must be routed through Stock
holm.
Note-Though this has meant a
reduction in official messages to Eu-
rope, the total of cable messages
clearing from the state department
is breaking all records for volume,
chiefly because Of heavy communica-
ton with Latin America.

could begin to feel the difference
IN few days-sore ligaments, sore
feet"
Bartell was one of the main fac
tors In Detroit's early summer
charge. Both his spirit and his play
were major factors in the Tiger
drive. And the same goes for Geh-
ringer, who stands out as one of the
great second basemen of all time.
When these two begin to skid the
Tiger infield began to look porous.
Figure this one out" one of the
Yankees said. eve all know the
value of big, powerful hands in base
ball. Hands like Wagner's and La
Joie's-but one of the best infielders
I've seen in long time has the
smallest pair of hands in either
league"
Meaning whom?" we asked.
"BOudreau, the Cleveland short
stop" he answered. "Boudreau has
extremely small hands. They are
delicate looking. But I don't know
OF a better shortstop anywhere to-
day. He has been one Of the main
reasons for Cleveland's success.
When he gets either hand on a bali
1t sticks with him."
The Eternal Argument
"I'n tell you something" one of
the Cleveland veterans said. "Old-
timers are always talking about the
play of the stars who once made the
headlines. They talk about a more
scientific game. I'd like to see
some of these old-timers handle the
ball they hit at you today-infeld or
outfield.
"The game today is twice as fast.
This modern ball comes at you like
a rife shot many times. You can't
AFFORD to lose a split second. The
same Is true in the OutfleId where
line drives come whistIing by. II
takes much better starting speed TO
handle the new, faster ball, no mat
ter what position you play. Those
old-timers were lucky when Il came
70 handling a much slower ball, one
that gave you more time to cover
your ground.
Baseball today is far harder on
the nerves. You have to be alert
every second a man is at bat. You
are tense all the time in any close
game. The old-time game NAV
have been more scientific. but the
game today is largely q matter of
speed and power"
Pitchers Us. Hitters
The clubhouse chitchat drifted
around to the comparative value of
pitching and hitting.
IF you had your choice" l asked
one of the veterans, WHO would YOU
take-Ruth, Cobb, Wagner and Foxx
or Johnson. Alexander, Teller and
Grove-each at his peak?"

he said. I'D take the four pitchers.

might name In any baseball league,

and problems, mean mothers-in-law,
money troubles, faithless husbands,
extravagant and discontinued wives.
But there are a lot of us on the
other side Of the picture; men and
women who through the trials and
changes Of many married years
have only come the more sincerely
and truly to love and need each
other"
That's the letter. 1t did my heart
good. The writer did not give me
his address, but I hope his Dee will
see this column and know that she
is appreciated.
How Would You Rate?
How close to her measure would
you come, If your husband wrote
a letter describing you? What char
acteristics would you select if you
were choosing those of the perfect
wife? What 10 would come first?
Well, perhaps first of all a woman
should be gentle. She should have
a sense of humor. She should be
capable, a good manager of home,
nursery and budget. She should be
neat about herself and her belong
ings. She should be prompt. At
fectionate. Economical. Patient.
Imaginative. Cheerful.
This Is big order. Most women
never stop even to consider these
qualities, much less to ask them
selves if they happen to possess
them. Many women resent the idea
that they could change; they are as
they are, with no need for change.
You know me-" they say COM
placently, when anyone tries to put
anything over on me, 1 never for

him for Is years. Well, he doesn't
get any more of THAT I've got a
good hot temper of my own, and
it's about time Jim Baker found it
out"
Other women tell you prettily that
they are always late for things, and
1t does make poor Bob so mad! Or
they're very poor cooks; Mama said
she never wanted her girls to slave
IN any mans kitchen. Or they never
can keep their books Strengthened
out; don't know the least thing about
money. And in the last analysis, as
I've mentioned in this column be-
fore, money trouble turns out to be
OF them all the gravest cause of
marital unhappiness and unsuccess.
Wives in Name Only.
Some wives save all the davis an
noyances and worries until dinner
time, and then regale the weary
man OF the family upon them. 9th
ers quarrel and complain constantly
with and Of the children. Many are
extravagant and vain, home and hus-
oand serving them only as q back
ground for constant trips to the
beauty parlor and the frock shops.
Then there is always the wife who
puts somebody else ahead of the
man she married; whose heart is
really with her family, or whose
whole devotion goes to her child.
And the wife who has numerous love
affairs. Nothing really wrong, of
course, but such fun. And so HARM
less, If only Bob wouldn't be so ridic-
ulously jealous!
All these wives are considered
very nice women. Nobody expects
perfection, and we all have our
faults, we say leniently.
Which is perfectly true. And yet
II IS as refreshing as a summer
breeze to hear sometimes Of wom-
an who by chance and circumstance
and her own fine nature has reached
so high a point of human develop
ment that the man who has lived
with her for II years still finds her

Bills Pending to Give Credit.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah
Is the author of two bills now pend
Ing before the Foreign Relations
Committee designed to give credits
to the British. The first OF these
bills authorizes the President to
bpen negotiations for the acquisi-
lion by lease or otherwise of islands
belonging to Great Britain m or
bordering on the Pacific Ocean. To
make such acquisitions, the Presi-
kent is authorized further to make
oans through the Export Import
Bank, or any other Federal agency
be may select, to the British. He
S also authorized TO provide Tor

febtedness of the British govern
nent to the United States specified
! n the act of February 8. 1922, as
amended, by an amount equivalent
10 the reduction of the Indebtedness
bf the Italian government to the
Omitted States, which was granted
by the act of April %, 1926.
And in a final section of the bill
It Is provided that prohibitions in
The Neutrality Act and in the john
BON Act shall not apply so far as
credits to Great Britain are con-
kerned.
Another bill offered by Senator
King authorizes loans to foreign
hebtor nations" for the purchase
bf agricultural products in the
United States, despite the provisions
bf the Neutrality and johnson Acts.
Favors johnson Act Repeal.
Senator King said yesterday that
he would seek to have the Foreign
Relations Committee give considera-
lion Wednesday to these two bills.
He is strongly in favor of the repeal
bf the johnson Act and of the
Neutrality Act. He fought the neu-
krality bill when it was before the
Senate.

sought it.
Go Home" Rayburn Says.
The meeting of the Senate Dem
acratic Steering Committee was the
only official business on Capitol Hill
yesterday, but on the House side
Speaker Rayburn announced that he
was advising members to 60 home, II
they desired, and assuring them they
would have ample notice If any i'm
portant matter came before the
House.
The Speaker and other House
leaders were defeated last Tuesday
in an attempt to bring final adj
journment of the present session,
and his announcement was regarded
as decision that nothing would be
done.
When Representative Kitchener of
Michigan, assistant Republican
leader, was told of Mr.. Rayburn's
announcement, he declared his
party had entered into no agree
ment allowing members to 60 home.
The Republican position, Mr..
Kitchener asserted, was that the ma
chinery should be kept in readiness
for ANY emergency at any time
I'VE should like, of course, to see
action on the Logan-Walter bill and
several other matters, but If the ma
jority will not allow 1t, We must
accept the inevitable" he said.
The Logan Walter bill has been
approved by the House, and the Sen
ate is to decide tomorrow whether
to consider it. The measure would
prescribe uniform procedure for
quasi judicial Federal agencies and
facilitate appeals to the courts
from their decisions.

egg involved in the European war.
Now IS years old, Admiral Leahy
became a sailor more by force Of
circumstance than choice.
His father, M. A. Leahy, a Wis
conSin lawyer lumberman, was a
captain in the Union Army during
the Civil War. AS a boy, Admiral
Leahy was a close student Of Civil
War tactics, and his ambition was
to 60 to West Point.
When he had completed his pre-
paratory schooling, he asked for an
appointment to the Military Acad-
envy. His Congressman replied that
none was available, but that he
could give him one to Annapolis.
He Is Glad Now.
Somewhat reluctantly, young
Leahy accepted, Now he says he is
thankful" that things happened the
way they did.
Admiral Leahy has few hobbies.
He was an indifferent golfer at one
time but eight years ago put away
his clubs. Asked why he no longer
played, he said the Navy took all
his time.
He and Mrs. Leahy have one son,
1t. Comdr. w H. Leahy. who is now
stationed in Washington.
The younger Leahy has two chill
dren, Louise, II, and Bobby. 4.
who are the admirals favorite COM
panions when he can find oppor-
tunity to be with them.
Admiral Leahy's naval career en-
braces virtually every American sea
campaign since the 1905. He was
graduated from the Naval Academy
in 1897 and saw service in the Span
h-American War the Philippine
Instruction, the Boxer trouble in
China and the World War.
He retired with the rank of ad-
miral August l. 1899, and became
Governor of Puerto Rico. his present
post, September 10, 1899.
