WASHINGTON, May 23.-R-
Senator Byrnes D-S. c. charged
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh last night
with advocating an ostrich-like at
titude for the American people in
the present international situation.
The senator's radio speech was re-
earded as an administration reply
to n by the aviator criticizing
Roosevelt foreign policies.
Recalling that Lindbergh had ac-
cepted a decoration from the Nazi
government, Byrnes asked:
when Mr.. Lindbergh says no one
wishes to attack us, is he authorized
to speak for Hitler or Goering?
Can the American people, in the
light of recent history, accept the
assurance of this young gentleman
that if we do not ask for war, 1t
will not come?
IBID China ask for war? DID
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark.
Norway, Holland and Belgium ask
for war? No, not n of them did
Yet today these nations have beer

and children Slaughtered"

ments that there had been "hysteri-
cal chatter of calamity and invasion
and that a definite policy" of de-
tense was needed, Byrnes said:
Gwen Mr.. Lindbergh at the end
of his h~ysterical protest against 9TH
er people becoming hysterical about
our national defense program, ad.
mitted that we need a greater air
force, a greater army and a greater
navy and nowhere indicated in
what respect the Presidents program
is defective"
"Why then does Mr.. Lindbergh
try to create the impression that the
American people are being rushed
hastily and impulsively into a ma.
tional defense ~program?" Byrnes
asked.
He declared that England an6
France had been lulled into a false
sense of security by men expressing
the same international philosophy
which Lindbergh voiced in his radio
speech Sunday night.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON-A compact I'M
der which an American firm max
ing important military devices for
the U. S. army and navy was
obliged to permit German inspect
ion of processes and inventions
used in that production is revealed
in a document recently filed in the
U. S. district court at New York.
That document is a bill for partl-
culars filed April 26 by the Depart
ment of Justice in connection with
an antitrust indictment returned
a month earlier by a federal grand
jury, against the Bausch Lomb
Optical Co.
The indictment accuses Bauscb
g. Lomb of combining with the
German firm of Carl Zeiss to dl.
vide markets and maintain prices
on military optical instruments.
In the bill of particulars is an
agreement made between the two
concerns in 1926, Slightly modify

Governor Hoey, a prominent

find friends. I came here with the
idea of making friends. I did. l
know everyone in the crew." said
13-year-old Betty Brewer When
asked how she was getting along
! IN her first picture.
Betty's n of the most charm
ing, intelligent little girls in Hol-
lyWood. She looks you directly IN
the eye. It's impossible to doubt
even though some of her story IS
hard to believe.
Today Betty Brewer is playing
a lead in her first picture, Rang
ers of Fortune" with Fred Mac
Murray. But it wasn't very long
ago that Betty's family was on re.
lief. Likely, the Brewers Will
never suffer from want again.
Betty looks like star material.
She moved from her home town
of Joplin, Mo-, to Sacramento,
Calf, in July, 1888, because her
father, a carpenter, believed he
could find work there. The job
didn't materialize, but Betty and
her sister, Ilene, II, discovered
they could sing.
They made a little money on
the radio in San Francisco. In
June, 1889, the family moved to
Hollywood with the idea of get
ting the children into the movies.
The young brother, Monte, 7, had
by this time joined his two sisters
as a singer.
BETTY BREWER =.
HAD AN IDEA :.
They sang on the radio and in
a couple of short subjects, but
nothing important happened. Then
Betty Brewer had her idea.
There are a lot of ways to
break into the MOVIES" Betty
said, but whatever you do has to
be unusual. We sang. We made
the rounds of the studios singing
for everybody ven when they
told us it wouldn't do any good.
And we made the rounds of the
night clubs and sang on the side.

lone night Mr.. Wood heard us
when he was coming out of The

that isn't good enough then all
right. I'll have done my best and
that's all I can do"
Betty, strangely enough, is the
business head of her family. She
looks over contracts, approves OF
disapproves them. She tells a
story about an agent who ap'
preached her when she was work
ing on the radio:
He asked me II l would like tc

NEW YORK, Sept. 26. (UP)-
There are few things more pathetic
to watch than the suffering OF big,
strong men.
This is particularly true when
they're suffering about $1,000 each.
I know, because yesterday l watch
ed some big and strong men hard at
work suffering. They were New
York Yankees, who, unable to play
themselves because of rain, had to
sit by radios and listen to the
Detroit Tigers move closer to the
American league pennant and a
shot at the World Series sWag.
I visited Joe Gordon at home and
the description of the first game OF
the double-header between the Tlg-
ers and the White SoX was coming
in full blast. The White SoX didn't
know it, but Joe was playing second
base for them during that game. He
was all over the room, shifting with
each hitter. He played deep and
near the reading lamp for Green
berg, next to the piano for Gehr-
niger and hugged the fireplace when
McCosky came up.
With the Yankees slim chance of
winning the pennant dependent on
somebody knocking off the leading
Tigers, Gordon couldn't have been
more tense had he been playing in
a series game himself.
Over in corner of the room, try
ing to read a magazine but having
poor luck, was Bill Dickey, Yankee
catcher and fellow who knows
more about the strength and weak
ness of American league batters
than anyone in the business.
When the Tigers came up for
their half of the tenth inning. with
the score tied at Gall, Bill laid
down his magazine and began advis-
ing the White Sox pitcher, Clint
Brown, as to what to throw.
When McCosky opened the in
ming with single and Gehringer
sacrificed him to second, Bill and
Joe went into hasty conference.
They gotta walk Greenberg."
Gordon said.
Yeah. they gotta walk him. They
will"
With McCosky on second with
the winning run, Greenberg on
first and Rudy York up. Dickey
