at Rockefeller Center and attracted
80 outstanding players who COM
peted in three sections during the
preliminaries played at the Man
haitian, Marshall and West Side
Chess Clubs in New York. Some
16 advanced to the grand final at
Rockefeller Center. Again Samuel
Reshevsky vindicated his right to
the chess crown that he first won
in the National Chess Federation
Congress of 1886.
The late Silas w. Rowland di-
rected the successful 1888 cham
pionship affair. He possessed
strong, versatile character and in
his promotion of chess he knew
neither East nor West, North or
South. To him all chess players
were brothers and he selected his
Congress Committee accordingly
When Rowland joined the Valhalla
of great chess patrons and masters,
chessdom mourned his passing, for
his generosity in sponsoring national
contests was unsurpassed.
Howlands mantle fell to President
George Sturgis of Boston, the leader
of the merged National and Amer
ican Chess Federations. AS chief
executive of the nascent United
States Chess Federation Mr.. Sturgis
looked around him and wished for
a worthy successor to Silas Rowland
Happily he anointed L. Walter Ste
phens for the thankless task. And
why Stephens?
Because he is very able man,
who takes pride in his chess hobby
that dates back to his college youth
at Princeton, where he fostered in
tercollegiate matches and gained
valuable experience both as player
and as puffer of the royal game.
Later he served as secretary of the
Manhattan Chess Club, progressive
rival of the celebrated Marshall
Chess Club. To encourage college
chess among Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton and Dartmouth Universities he
became one of the joint donors of
the beautiful Belden-Stephens H.
Y. P. D. intercollegiate Chess
Trophy. AS he has prospered in
business he has given a tithe of
time and income toward the pro-
gressive development of his hobby.
which he considers to be the most
interesting game in the world.

Newsom Now BeIIwether
Of Bio Leoque Stoff

He has worked two and three
times week, sweating, grinning and
strutting, carrying the load for weak
pitching staffs on his wide should
ers.
Buck came up the hard way, and
fetched no fancy prices. He went to
Detroit last year for a handful of
used material. But even before he
had proved himself, he always was
talking. When he beloved, some
years ago, that he would make high
priced guys like Dizzy Dean take
back seats, it sounded funny. 1t

much good to anybody. Newsom is

Hutchinson, standing beside hi n,
grabbing the ball off the ground in
his turn and lobbing it back to the
pepper batter, Coach Mervyn Shea,
was quiet and studiously nonchalant.
Now and then his set face would
crack into a smile at some word in
Newsom's steady patter. Then he
would freeze again.
Hutch is barely 20. He wasn't
always so repressed. In the DAYS
when he won games in the Coast

plenty to say and gift for dramatic
gestures.

A new national defense unit, the
Defense Communications Board.
was prepared today to begin its
task of co-ordinating plans for war
time use of cable, wire and radio
facilities by armed forces and other
governmental agencies and by pri-
vate industry and civilians.
President Roosevelt, in an execu-

instructed the new organization
yesterday to make plans for speedy
and efflcacious use of all necessary
facilities in time of military emer-
gency," but to take no cognizance
of matters pertaining to censor

Nor will it have any authority,
the White House said, to take over
any communications facilities.
The members will be the chair
man of the Federal Communications
Commission. director of naval COM
munications, chief signal officer of
the Army, an Assistant Secretary
Of State and an Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury.
A White House statement said the
board did not propose to interfere
with the normal operation of broad
casting or other forms of communi-
cation ANY more than is necessary
for the national protection" and
that all plans involving utilization
of private facilities or requiring in
duStry cooperation would be taken
up with industry representatives.
Chairman James l.. Fly of the

ested Federal agencies took the
initiative in getting Mr.. Roosevelt
to establish the board The White
House said the radio industry had
co-operated in the preparation of
the executive order and that various
branches of the communications in
dustry would serve the board in an
advisory capacity.

No Comment in Berlin.
In Berlin today official German
sources professed ignorance of an
impending Japanese German Ital-
ian alliance. We cannot deny
something about which we know
nothing said one authorized
spokesman.
But in informed although unoffi-
cial circles it was learned that ia
pan, the Far Eastern partner in the
anti Comintern pact of 1861. was
being prevailed upon TO form coun-
terWeight to any possible closer CO.
operation between Britain and the
United States.
Officials said that Japan's rela-
lions with Germany were so cordial
that Berlin was kept constantly
informed on developments in the
Far East.
In Rome, Foreign Minister Count
Ciano has just held long talk with
Japanese Ambassador Eli Amau to
discuss Japans role in the huge
changes already induced by the war
and still to come, with special refer
ence to Japan's sending of troops
into Indo-China.

Many Americans have insisted
that the interests of the United
States and Britain in the Pacific are

Indeed. there have been !ndica-

An alliance with the axis would
