But Teller is; headed for the same

boned kid with a great pair of hands
and a great pair of wrists.

BULLITT MAY STUMP FOR
BRITAIN. AID -

Ambassador Bill Bullitt, most
versatile and volatile of all Roose-
velt's diplomats, probably will go on
the stump throughout the country
campaigning for national unity
and urging American support for
Great Britain
His tour will be divorced from the
New Deal, and he will not return
to his embassy in France.
Many of the men around Roose-
welt now are far ahead of him in
proposing aid to Britain, and some
of them may cooperate with Bullitt
in this movement Some are def
initely critical of the President,
though close friend Bullitt is not.
They feel that Roosevelt has been
holding back, and that the country
is ready to 60 much further than
he

Ter. He lacked control, but from the
jump he was as cool as slice of
cucumber on ice.
After whiting IL of the enemy in
one of his first games, the Van Meter
phenOm was trifle too keen on the
strikeout path for some time. This
wrecked his control. He was also
a bit lopsided at holding runners on
base. But he has long since cured
both faults. He has added a good
curve ball to his speed.
Teller has the poise and balance
of much older man. He has
shown no sign so far of an enlarged
head, no sign of kid freshness with
older men.
A fellow like Teller will mean a
healthy package to Cleveland when
the stretch running begins few
weeks later on. And a fellow like
Teller can turn a world series up
side down, if he gets the chance.
The Reds Sad Story
When I sat on the bench a short
while back with Bill McKechnie his
Reds had a nine-game lead and they
looked to be breezing. 1t was the
first time had ever seen Uncle Will
breathing normally with his pulses
in order. You could see that with
this lead, plus Derringer, Walters
and Thompson, his worries were
just about over. /.
But they are not over now.
1t has been suggested that Willard
Hershberger's death had a depress-
ing effect. But the sliding had start
ed before the young Red catcher
ended his life.
The shock began when the Giants
beat Bucky Walters in the game that
Walters had tied up in a true lovers
knot in the ninth inning with two
out. The Reds have never quite re-
covered from that shock. Later on
the suicide episode didn't help.
They were due for slump, but
no one looked for any such August
dip. They still have the call with
the pitching they have, but the old
easy-going gallop is over. AS some
philosopher has said, "There is also
gameness in front running" In
fact, there is plenty.
What about Fo1x?
The Mel OFT day was a knockout.
No ball player had more wild laurel
blossoms coming his way. Except
possibly one James Emory Foxx of
the Red Sox. Here is a great ball

DEFENSE BLOW-UP

If certain legislative and admins
trative snarls in the defense pro-
gram aren't cleared up quickly.
there is going to be blowup in the
defense commission that will knock
a dent in the Roosevelt administra-
ton. Some fast footwork and
placating White House palaver has
kept the explosive situation under
cover so far, but it is very serious.
Inside fact is that William Knud-
sen, who gave up a $500, 000-a-year
General Motors job to become de-
tense production chief, is getting
FESTIVE over the delays he is en-
countering. He has made no
threats, but he has also made it
clear that unless he gets action he
does not intend to continue in posi-
ton where he could be blamed for
lack of production.
A "plain operations man." as he
describes himself, Knudsen worked
out a schedule of production for
tanks, guns, planes, armor plate,
and the other vital essentials for de-
tense. But these plans, partly be-
cause of tax delays, partly because
of business sit-downs, have encoun-
tered repeated Instructions.
For example: Knudsen was first
told that the amortization problem,
which has held up the construction
Of several new defense plants, would
be handled in congress in a separate
bill. But at the last minute, treas
Ilury tax experts objected to this and
insisted that the matter be included
in the excess (war profts) tax bill.
Next Knudsen was assured by
congressional leaders that the tax
bill would be passed by August II.
But first the Republicans recessed
to attend the Willkie acceptance GER
emonies at Elwood. Then it man.
aged to get other delays.
RFC LOAN DELAYS
While this dilly-dallying was go
ing on at Capitol Hill, Knudsen was
having other difficulties with Fed
eral Loan Administrator Jesse
Jones.
The RFC was given wide powers
by congress several months ago to
make loans to industry for defense
purposes. But when Knudsen SUBJ
mitted list of plant expansions that
needed financing, Jones baked.
He objected on the ground that
one-third of the ol1tpI1t of the D1antS
would go to fill British war orders.
Knudsen pointed out that this was
not impairing U. S. preparedness,
but on the contrary was providing
the country with vital productive
capacity at the expense of the Brit
ish.
Still Jones, despite the Presidents
policy of extending every assistance
to the British, didn't like the idea
of lending U. S. government money
to aid factory expansion for the Brit
ish.
