His next error was geographic.
He returned to Dusseldorf, Ger

would have been unimportant had
Leutze belonged to that school Of
artists who sketch from memory.
But Leutze believed In models both
for man and scene.
Conveniently, there lived in
Dusseldorf at the time (185D a

folk said, was the splitting image
Of General Washington. This good
frau agreed to pose for Herr Leu.

definitely verified.) f~
Conveniently, too, near Dues
seldorf runs a model river - the
Rhine. And the local salts were
willing to sit for Leutze, as In all
too apparent from the unmlstak-
ably German faces on the sailors
who are jousting with the Ice

Incidentally, contemporary de-

O'Mahoney
Addresses
Women
Says Democrats
Must Make Aims
On Business Clear

The Democratic party must make
1t clear to the country in the COM
Ing election campaign that it has
no intention Of Government taking
over business, or-on the other
hand-of business taking over Gov
ernment, Senator O'Mahoney OF
Wyoming declared last night.
He spoke at the annual dinner OF
the Woman's National Democratic
Club at the clubhouse.
The Senator also declared the
party must seek to provide an In.
centive to employers of labor to
put men to work. Expressing the
opinion that the idea of increasing
taxes on business must be aban-
doned, If employment in private In
dustry Is to be encouraged, he sug-
gested some form of tax credits be
devised as a reward for employers
who put people to work.
Party's Greatest Danger.
The greatest danger the Demo-
cratic party faces today, Senator
O'Mahoney warned, is a growing
fear that Government will take over
too much control of business. While
denying this is the intention of the
administration, he declared the OPP

position would foster the idea IN
the coming election.
In this connection Senator O'Ma-
honey defended the Mo- opoly Com
mittee, of which he Is chairman,
against charges that the committee
is seeking to place the assets Of in
surance companies under Govern
ment control. Nothing could be
farther from the truth, he asserted,
adding that the idea had not even
occurred to single member Of the
committee until the charges were
made.
Business must be made to under
stand, he continued, that big Gov
ernments has been the result Of big
business"-that the growth of Or
ganized business has compelled the
creation Of new agencies and bu-
reaus to regulate it in the interest
of the people. Much of the control
exercised by the Government has
been in direct response to requests
from individual enterprises seeking
protection, he contended.
It Is important also for business
to realize that it is the capacity Of
the people to purchase things that
makes business possible, he added.
Liberty, Right to Work.
Capitalism and democracy are Of
the same metal, he declared. Lib
erty, he said, is the right to work
for property and capitalism the
right to retain 1t.
While urging that the Democratic
party recognize the Importance Of
the unemployment problem, Senator
OMahoney quoted statistics to show
that the administration had been
successful through its pump -prim-
ing program in raising annual gross
profits of business.
1T is not surprising that Repub-
lican candidates are saying they do
not want to do away with what the
Evening star., 1940-03-01

Democratic party is doing, but that
they want to improve It," he said.
Senator O'Mahoney also urged
particular attention to domestic
problems in view Of the war in Eu-
rope. France and England, he
pointed out, are directing their
purchases to those areas which will
best serve their military purposes.
After the war. he added, they Will
be so busy taking care of them
selves that the situation, from our
point Of view, viii not be materially
improved.

Landy Team Unscathed in League Tilt

In what was expected to be one
OF the best games OF the evening,
Landy's smooth clicking quintet
completely overwhelmed a United
Stove five by 80 to 10 score, Mon
day evening in the Ypsilanti High
School gym. Previously, both
teams had boosted indicated rec
ords for three games. but Landy's
was the only one to emerge from
the fray with its slate still clean.
From the opening whistle, Ian
dy's took the initiative, rolling up
a lead that never was threatened
throughout the contest. Led by
Wales and Heimerdinger, who each
bagged four field goals, the victors
easily outscored and outplayed
their opponents whose offense and
defense appeared very disorganiz-
ed in contrast with the teamwork
and passing of the Landy team.
Now in first place in the league
standings with record of four
wins against no losses, Landy's
looks to be a good bet to hold that
position throughout the season, #
the quality OF their playing stays
on a level with that exhibited
against the Stovemen.
