OPPONENTS OF PLAN

By that time 1t had become ap- parent that the chief opponents of having Bolivian tin smelted in the United States were CD the British tin monopoly; (2) the Patino tin interests, which were shipping ore all the way from Bolivia to Liver pool thence back to the United States, in order to enjoy British monopoly price, fixing; and t3) the National Lead Company and per- haps also other heavy U. s. users of tin, which seemed to be linked up with the British Patino inter- eStS.
 For instance, the late Edward J.. Cornish, chairman of National Lead, also was chairman of Pa tino Mines and Enterprises, while the present chairman of the Pa- tino company, Fletcher w. Rock well, is also president of National Lead.
 Thus big American business ap- peared to be cooperating with the British-Patino monopoly, despite national defense interests, while the State Department appeared to condone that cooperation
 But now, suddenly awakening to the grave danger of the situation, the State Department is trying des- perately to make up for past neg ligence. Several days ago it sought to arrange for space on a clipper plane for Patino to come to the United States. But since his faln- fly almost fills one clipper, he is enroute by boat.

Red Fans
 Are Happy;
 Six Reasons
Ifs Mid-season but Cin- einnati Looks Like
 Penndnt Winner
By JOHN FRYE AP Feature Service

CINCINNATI, Aug. 6-It's still mid season, the dog days of August are here, and baseball guessing is lethal pastime, but there's a feeling growing in Porkopolis that the Reds are going to win another pennant. Likewise a World Series.
 Nobodys saying much out loud yet, especially not the players and front office boys, but some of the whisperings back into the idea this way:
 Its going to be a dog fight down to the end and the Reds are at their best in dog fight
 The Dodgers are sure to fold up and then who's left but the Reds?"
 Tt takes what they've got and they've got what it takes"
 AS to winning the World Se- ries, the main argument, now bol- stered by the results of the spring and summer all-star games, is:
 Its National League year.
 Plenty of Reasons
 Among the factors by which Redleg fans arrive at the conclu- sion that they'll see another and more satisfactory World Series are these:
 Paul Derringer's new knuckle ball He's been working on it for years and it's finally under con- trol. It has helped him to two one -hitters and one two-hitter, the latter against the New York Giants on Juy 21 when he set down the first 2l men in order Babe Young, however, caught knuckler on the hard spot in the eighth and it went into the pleachers. 2.-Bucky Walters ever-present mid-season form. He was knocked out of the box just twice in his first l9 games and won IA of them.
 3.-Jim Turner development from a spot" to a regular pitcher. The -BoStonian, who came at the bargain price of Les Scarsella, now back in the minors, has earned his dollar day ever since he got into a Cincinnati uniform.
 Thompson Beats Jinx 4.-Gene ThompSon's refusal to say uncle" to the sophomore jinx This big fellow, as cool as Der ringer despite his youth, won l3 and lost five last year and won ten up to mid-season this year.
 5.-The teams hot-shot fielding, which has plenty to do with the | four reasons above. The Reds are averaging less than an error and more than double-play per game. It's fast hopper that goes through the infield and long drive that gets past the outfield for extra bases.
 6.-Finally, the kind of hitting that wins games even if it doesn't produce a heroic team batting av- craze. Any pitcher will tell you that for a bunch of 265 hitters, the Reds have about as many soft spots in the lineup as a green ban ana.

NO USE ASKING

NO USE ASKING
 Therefore, the upholders of this theory conclude, when the world crisis is over, when the ship is again on even keel, Roosevelt, if he is elected, will relinquish the helm and take the long rest he 70 much needs.
 But it wouldn't do any good to ask him. Just as announcement of his third term plans possibly would have weakened his position both in the capitol and abroad, so would any such hint from him weaken the power and strength of the Presidency when the country needs it most
 Well, that's the story anyway.

The first company to show an in- terest was Phelps Dodge, but more recently American Metals, American Smelling and Refining, and Ma tional Lead have shown interest.
 Meanwhile Hochschild, who has been mining tin in Bolivia for ten years, informed the National De- fenSe Commission that he was ready to do immediate business But the Defense Commission, like the State Department, bowed to the tin king and said they would wait for Patino's arrival.
 Most ominous development has been the recent and sudden ac- tivity of Nazi interests in Bolivia to try to block these deals. The Bolivian army, long trained by Ger man officers and leaning heavily toward the Nazis, is doing every thing possible to sabotage the ne- gotiations now being conducted by Bolivian Minister Guachalla IT Washington.
 NOTE-Dr. w. Y. Elliott, liar yard expert, comments on the pres ent tin situation: To-day the pros- pect of Japanese domination oi Asia and of German domination of Europe and the whole of it's colo nies presents this country with all entirely changed strategic situa- tion. desperate in it's implications The securing and processing oi these vital strategic materials is no longer a arguable point. It may bt matter of survival itself of tht American people"
