Come In and See the New luxury

DoN'T let anyone tell you that you can't afford a
- Dodge Luxury Liner!
Justread what MI. Ernest M. Collect, of Chicago, says:
Like a lot of people, always thought I couldn't afford
a big car.
The price of the smaller, four door sedan I nearly
bought was only $61.23 less than the big, four door
Dodge sedan. Here's only a difference of $3.41 a month";
in my payments. And look how much more I got in a
Dodge!
1T gives me big car performance and riding comfort!
On top of this, I got something no other car could possibly
give me-Dod9e Engineering that means real economy
on gas and oil and upkeep!" .
Since Dodge costs so very little more to buy than a
smaller car, why not make up your mind right away to
start enjoying big-car comfort and luxury!
And don't forget-to millions of motorists no other
name IN the automobile industry means all that the name
Dodge has come to mean. Dodge means dependabiityl
1t means brilliant manufacturing and sound craftsman
ship. 1t means economy of operation. III low cost of upkeep
...longer car life and real savings on gas and oil.
Come in today. Let US demonstrate the magnificent
new 1910 Dodge to you.

RALEIGH, April s. - Recently
there has been much talk about a
North Carolinian for appointment
on the Interstate Commerce com.
mission and the statement has been
repeatedly made that North Caro-
lima has never had such a post.
Technically, that's true; no com.
missioner has been appointed as a
North Carolinian, but there has
been since 1890 a native Tar Heel
on the commission.
He is William Erwin Lee, born in
Madison county January 81. 1882.
who was given a post as a repub-
lican from Idaho. He is a son of
longtime Sheriff Reuben Lee and
still has many relatives in Bun
combe and adjacent counties.
The commissioner, like the vast
majority of Madison county folks,
is a republican,, and was named to
the ice. as of that political faith.
He had previously been chief JUS
tice of the Idaho Supreme court.
How can Dan Tompkins, of Jack.
son county, run for lieutenant gov
ernor when he is the assistant SUI
pervisor Of the census for the elev-
enth district?
Why doesn't the Hatch act catch
him?
Jack Morphew, from Graham, will
attempt the tough job of being re-
elected to the state senate from
the 33rd district. It's always been
an unwritten rule that the senator
from that m~ulti-county district gets
only n term. Two years ago Jack
beat Kelly Bennett of Swain, who
was then trying to do a repeat per-

FIRST BASEMAN
OF CHAMPS IS
WRITER'S CHOICE
-~--~----
Mize Second Pick; Three
Reds in a Row Won
Coveted Award
BY GEORGE KTRKsEY

UNITED Press STAN COrreSpOndent)
New York, Nov. 13.-(UP)-F'rank
McCormick, big first baseman Of
the Cincinnati Reds, has been
named the National Leagues most
valuable player for 1940 by the Base
ball Writer'S Association of America
1t was announced today.
Key man in the Reds worlds
championship team, Mccormick
played every game of the campaign
and batted 300 and drove In 1877
runs to win the coveted individual
prize with 274 points. Johnny Mize,
st. Louis Cardinals first basenlan,
who led the league in runs batted
in, with 1877, and clouted 43 home
runs, finished second with 209
points.
Three Reds
Mccormick, who completed his
third season with the Reds, Is the
third straight Cincinnati player to
win the award, succeeding Ernie
lombard who captured 1t in 1888
and Bucky Walters who achieved
It in 1899. He will receive the SPORT
ing news award.
The Reds great pitching pair,
Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer,
finished third and fourth to give
Cincinnati three of the first four
places. Walters, the 1899 winner,
received 146 points for third place
and Lerringer, the 1889 runner-up,
got 121 points for fourth place.
Freddy Fitzsimmons, Dodgers vet
eran pitching stalwart, who led the
National League pitchers with 16
victories and two defeats, came fifth
with "a points.
A committee of "a members of
the Baseball Writer'S Association,
three from each of the eight cities
in the circuit, participated in the
voting. First place counted for IA
points, second place nine, third for
eight and so on down the line.
Iron Man
A durable ball player. Mccormick
has never missed a game since he
became Red regular at the start
Of the 1888 season. He's played 464
consecutive games, the longest
streak Of any current active Ma
tional League player. Around first,
the 205-pound Mccormick is a sure
and classy fielder. In 1889 he set the
National League double play record
for first basemen with 1853. He's of
Irish C2echoslovakian nationality
and was born in the Bronx, New
York, the cradle of such first base
men as Lou Gehrig, and Hank
Greenberg, the latter now an OUT
fielder. ~

Temple. Boston College also ran
rough-shod over Centre, Idaho, st,

University.
Georgetown this season has been
extended only by Waynesburg, a
fine little outfit which put up a
Drove fight before losing, 26-12. The
Hoyas disposed of Roanoke, Vir-
ginia Tech, New York University,
Syracuse and Maryland as they
pleased.
Syracuse players, who opposed
both, freely venture the opinion that
Georgetown would reper Cornell.
Chiefly credited with the con-
tinuance of the Georgetown surge
are Joe McFadden, quarterback
with ice water for blood, and Julius
Koshlap, left halfback. When Julius
isn't splitting the defense wide open
with passes, he is running the ball
for magnificent distances.
On a team studded with ALL
American prospects, Augie Lilo, a
210-pound place-kicking guard, is
the choice of teammates to be the
first Georgetown player to be ac-
corded that honor since Babe Con-

Dallas, Nov. 13.-(UP)-Thank
goodness, the Cleveland Indians
have named manager for the 194l
season.
Now there won't be any lack of
amusement for the baseball fans
during the long winter evenings.
They can gather about the fireplace,
stove or radiator depending on
how their homes are heated) and
start guessing who will manage the
Indians in 1912.
I don't like to scoop my fellow
reporters Gas you must have noticed
during the past ten years. but I
have a red hot tip on Peckin-
paugh's successor. It's from a
source who Is so close to the Cleve-
land front Office that he doesn't fit,
have learned that the following
men are being given serious consid-
Grafton as the Indians pilot season
after next:
/. Mickey Cochrane, former De-
troit manager, who is now in the
automobile industry, but who is said
to yearn for the good old days Of
second-guessers, fair weather
friends, and abrupt dismissals.
2. Babe Ruth, whose followers
still feel he was given a raw deal
by baseball.
8. Bucky Harris, manager of
Washington, who Is said to be de-
termined to get with a ball club
which has pitchers with names he
can pronounce.
4. The author of Take Me Out
to the Ball Came"
5. Cy Slapnicka, who has been
managing the Indians for years.
6. Alva Bradley, president of the
Indians, who is said to want place
on the bench so he can hear player
complaints more readily.
Z. Oscar Witt, the manager who
was just fired. The report Is that
the Indians dislike Witt so tnuch
they want to punish him to the ut
most and the best way they can
think of to do this Is to re-hire
him and give him another season
on the Cleveland bench.
Now that Peckinpaugh has taken
the job for 1941, the country
shouldn't wait too long before ar
ranging a national celebration in his
honor. He had the job once before
II think he started in 1928 and
lasted until he got the pink slip in
the middle of the 1888 season.
and his willingness to have another
try merits a nationwide applause.

spirit, such optimism, and when one

him. He rates ride up Broadway,
from the Battery to the Zoo-yes,
fellow who'd take that job should
be given a ride clean to the Zoo
and I am willing to furnish the
confetti If someone will volunteer
to hire the cars.
The hiring of Peckinpaugh so
many months before the start of
the i04l season was a thoughtful
act on the part Of the Indians man
agement. Now the members OF the
team will have time to arrange a
fitting reception for him. They will
have most OF November. and all OF

ASK LABOR TO HELP
LUGGAGE WORKERS

Petersburg, Va. (ILNS). - The
American Federation of Labor has
sent out an official appeal to all ma
tional and international unions, state
federations of labor, and central labor
unions calling upon them for financial
support to the 1,200 luggage workers
of Petersburg, on strike more than
two months against the American
Hardware Company. The appeal was
signed by William Green, president
of the American Federation of Labor.
In his letter, President Green said:
"The cause of the strikers is just.
Their demands are reasonable. They
deserve to win Any financial help
you may give them will be deeply ap-
preciated and worthily distributed.

you may find it possible to make, to

Luggage Workers Have Drastic Permanent Injunction
Against Them-American Hardware Company Re-
fuses to Negotiate-Judge Sustans Injunction.

Petersburg, Va. (ILNS).-A drastic
permanent injunction now stands
against Luggage Workers Local 81,
which called a strike at the big plant
of the American Hardware Company,
following the refusal of the company
to negotiate a new contract.
At a hearing in Hastings Court,
Judge Richard T. Wilson denied the
petition of the union for dissolution
or modification Of the temporary in
junction which he issued against the
union early in the strike.
Judge Wilson sustained and con-
tinued the injunction against the lug
gage strikers, limiting picketing to
three at the entrance, barring strikers
from congregating in the vicinity and
even calling upon the union to restrain
sympathizers from being in the vi
cinity of the plant.
Strike Held Provoked
In presenting Cne peClClon Oh the
union for dissolution or modification
of the injunction, Henry A. Kiser of
Washington, D. c., associate counsel
of the American Federation of Labor,
pointed out that the American Hard
ware Company, which obtained the in
junction against the union, did not
come into court with "clean hands" !"
that not only did the company not
make every effort to avoid the conflict
but that it actually provoked the strike
by refusing to extend the old contract
which expired on December 81, 1889,
as proposed by the union. Kiser fur
ther contended that no sufficient evil

son upheld the contention of the COM
pany's attorney that an injunction
against the strikers is warranted and
he even refused to modify it in any
way whatsoever.
During the hearing the court was
packed with several hundred strikers
who listened attentively to the pro-
ceedings and later held meeting and
decided unanimously to continue the
strike indefinitely until the American
Hardware Company grants them the
rights of collective bargaining and de-
cent working conditions.

Buying Power Is Big Need

In the past our country has de-
pended on the savings of its citizens
to create capital goods. Factories and
machinery, railroads, ships and mines
have been built out Of savings in
vested in our expanding industrial
equipment. Today, our banks and in
vestment markets are flooded with
idle funds, and much of our plant
capacity is standing idle. We need,
not investment money, but buying
power to put our plants to work, and
only when buying power reaches
large enough volume to justify fur
ther plant expansion shall we find in
vestment for these idle funds.-A. F.
