Chowder Club Refuses
To Quiton BimeIech
BY JOHN LARDNER,
neciAl Corresnondant ~ The Rta


NEW YORK May II (N.A.N.A).
This is just q short note to asso-
ciate members Of the Bimelech
(you probably remember Bimelech)
Marching and Chowder Club, ad-
vising them that the horse is sound
as button and will win the Freak
ness at Pimlico today.
The charter members Of the club
tramped out to Louisville last Satur-
day for the Kentucky Derby. Dis
guised as gate-crashers, we erased
the gate and tilted our poke of dust
on the ledge Of q $2-win window.
The result was paralyzing. Gala
hadion slipped through on the in
side. while Bimelech treated the rail
rs though it were the third rail.
That race is under investigation
BY whom, you ask? Well, the chair
man of our suspicion committee has
been working night and day to turn
up evidence that something was
askew.
This fellow is so suspicious that he
dngerprints his wife before and
after every meal. Approaching the
eight jockeys the day after the race,
he asked each of them this question:
"Was there anything funny about
that Derby?"

FIVE BOMBS
 DISCOVERED
Internal Contrapfions Lo- Cated in Ham and
 Egg Office

SAN MATED. Cal, Jan. 18.-Po- lice have begun an investigation of the source of five crude, black powder bombs found in an office formerly occupied by workers oi the Ham and Egg Old Age Pension Plan.
 The office had been vacant since the pension proposal was defeated in last November's special cleo tion
 The bombs were found in a closet by a workman redecorating the office.
 Police Chief Burks said each bomb was filled with powder and had a two-foot fuse attached. A paper bag held quantity of pow der left over after filling the bombs. Burke said that the Ham and Egg workers who occupied the office were from Los Angeles.
 Local Ham and Egg leaders sug- gested that the bombs were plant ed in the office in an attempt to discredit the pension movement.

The Tide of Opinion
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Had the war begun with this furious assault on the Low Countries and France last September, it seems well-nigh certain that Allied resistance would have been much less effective It also seems possible that American sentiment would have been far more militant by now. if the had continued. For the sense of outrage of the American people has been greater in the last Wek than at any time previous.
 In part this swift change of sentiment in Amer ica may represent cumulative indignation at Hitlers ruthless attacks on neutral states In part, it may signify that Americans feel more concerned about the fate of Belgium and the Netherlands than other small neutrals. But in the greatest part the new anger of the American people seems to grow out of the abrupt realization that Nazi Germany may win the
 All through the early months of conflict Ameri- cans speculated the outcome recognizing that it was not assured Yet almost without exception they took granted the superior resources of the Allies would count in the end. AS a result, most of us never took the pains to think through the matter and comprehend what outright German victory would mean-for Europe and for ourselves.
 Now this ugly possibility is vivid. And many Americans are wishing they had supported the un- spoken but dscernibe willingness of the Govern ment to give larger and prompter assistance to the Allies Now it may be too late. But if the Allies hold on into the their chances will improve steadily And our economic aid will become increas- ingly important The tide of American opinion in these critical days insures that such aid will be forthcoming.

Benefic aspects rule today. whicl should be propitious for plans af- fecting persons of all ages. especi- ally the young. It is day prom iSing for beginnings. Whatever is progressive should benefit.

Engage ments to marry are under friend ly guidance of the stars.
 Business Affairs: AS trade flour ishes in this country there will be revival this summer of get-rich- quick schemes and speculative ven lures. While it is wise to enjoy present prosperity, warning is given that there is reason to practice thrift; the days of reckoning for the cost of war will affect the United States, even though the nation may not be among the bel ligerents.
 National Issues: AS political par ties prepare to contend for suc- cess in the autumn, the value of national unity will be appreciated in view of internal as well as ex- ternal perils. Secret and treacher- ous forces will cause anxiety in the United States along new lines of subverSive effort. This is a time to see the good aims of the American people and to be blind to faults and mistakes.
 International Affairs: The spirit of contention and fault-finding vii affect leaders great and small al this time, for the stars presage grave psychological results of the European war.
