The Allies. Premier Paul Rey-
maud, appointed when Edouard
Daladier's French cabinet resigned,
got off to a humble start when the
chamber of deputies gave him only
a one vote majority in the first
ballot. Later, when Reynaud stuck
out his chin and announced his de-
termination to fight the wars both
at home and on the western front,
the chamber increased its majority
to II.
Frances political crisis had APP
parently passed, but Britain's was
just beginning to brew. Nobody
knew who would be ousted, but 1t
was a virtual certainty that Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain would
reorganize his cabinet to include a
few Laborites.
The Dictators. Turkey, only Bal
kan friend of the allies, was busy
trying to patch up an agreement
between London, Paris and Moscow,
thus staving off threatened expan-
sion of hostilities into the near east.
But the dictators, apparently bent
on making the Balkans benevolently
neutral, were playing every card in
their deck.
Germany, with the most to gain,
worked for "reapproachement" be-
tween Italy and Russia. Meanwhile
she also pressed new demands on
Rumania, chiefly concerning speed
Ter oil and agricultural production.
There was every reason to believe
combined Russian German pressure
made Rumania the next Finland"
given her choice between capitulat-
ing or being beaten to death.
DEFENSE:
Warplane Tempest
Ever since World War II began
last fall isolationists have argued
that sale of u. S. warplanes abroad
is (1) blocking expansion of our own
airforce; (2) exposing U. S. mill
tary secrets to the highest bidder;
(3) boosting aircraft prices because
of the rush of foreign orders.
BY late March this tempest
seemed headed for a showdown.
Both house and senate military af-
fairs committees planned hearings
on the subject. President Roosevelt
injected his two-bits worth by de-
bunking the military secrets charge.
He advocated mass sale of U. S.
planes abroad to build up produce
ton channels. Next day an allied
purchasing commission offered to
place billion-dollar plane order If
secret mechanism were included.
Shortly thereafter the war depart

to principles of democracy and JUS

II two, or even one, of the new
appointees turn out to be Of like
mind with the members who have
smirched and perverted the pur-
poses of the labor act, this proposal
can only keep its shocking injustices
intact or at best make them worse.
And what chance is there that
any number Of additional judges
would change this situation? There
remains the philosophy of whatever
reigning influence worded the law.
1t still defends the board it attempt
ed to shield from investigation.
After the boards conviction upon
the facts and at the bar of public
opinion, it is still unwilling freely
to acknowledge its errors and offers
only this futile and tricky clever
little scheme, to calm the public
clamor against it's evils.
1t is difficult to see why Senator
Wagner's opinion is to be greatly
considered in this matter. He did
not originate the labor board. That
was done by MIRA in 1888 while he
was abroad. The idea of that board
was for a strictly unprejudiced UNI
pire to decide the controversy in
the application of the provisions of
MIRA for collective bargaining, in
dependent labor representation and
maximum hours and minimum
wages. Senator Wagner was sug-
gested in 1888 by the MIRA admins
traitor and appointed by the Presi-
dent during Wagner's absence in
Europe.
But it was under the senator's
administration that the idea of a
strictly impartial tribunal was
scrapped and the board became a
government pressure bureau to or
ganize industry, not in whatever
form workers might select, but in
particular forms favored by the
board. That new policy is at the
root of the bad repute of NLRB.

Night Police
Court To Go

There will be no more night
police courts in Montgomery coun-
ty if the wishes of the Montgomery
County Bar Association are car
ried out. Two police trial magis-
trates, Judge Donald A. DeLash-
mutt, Rockville, and Judge Ralph
Shure, Silver Spring, have indi-
Gated their willingness to discon-
tinue the night sessions. The
county's other arbiter, James c.
Christopher of Bethesda, will abol-
ish his night court if the other two
do. 81 have not conferred with
Judge Shure or Judge DeLashmutt
but will act in accordance" the
Bethesda magistrate said.
Lawyers claim the night courts
require too much night work, while
members of the police force who
are conencted with the cases are
handicapped.

SPEAKING OF
Sport
BY ROBERT McSHANE
Released by Western New,pope, Union

DHOG ALLEN, University of Kan
sas basketball coach and for.
merly a well-known football men,
tor, predicted recently that college
football will die-a suicide-in 10
years.
The Kansan, in an interview, stat
ed that tits sad commentary on
our present setup that boy has to
prepare for four years to be a pro-
fessional football player instead Of
starting out in professional football
as rookie and working up the
hard way. Educators want boy
to get an education in college. not
to learn to play pro football"
Allen emphasized that he has no
personal prejudice against the
game, but
THE handwriting Is plain. Al
ready such schools as Yale, Prince
ton, Harvard, Cornell and Chicago
have de-emphasized football or are
preparing to do So"
He further stated that ''the big
time starts when any athlete in col
lege gets more than he works for,
when a player demands and gets
room, board, tuition. books and ex-
penses or won't play.
''In some schools under present
conditions football is more profess
sional than it is on the straight out
and out pro teams of the National
league. Certainly there is less
hypocrisy among the professionals.
Hypocrisy?
Admittedly the esteemed Mr.. Al
len Is correct In at least one Of his
utterances. Hypocrisy does exist In
certain intercollegiate football cir
cles. However, It isn't fair to indict
the whole setup because Of q few
localized sore spots. A wholesale
condemnation isn't justified on the
basis Of vague and improved
charges usually directed against the
athletic departments Of schools rep
resented by consistently victorious
elevens.
The thought that Allen seems to
convey, at least to this observer,
is that the average college grid star
is burning with the desire to leap
on the professional band wagon.
He reaches first for his diploma,
then for his pro contract.
We are inclined to doubt this. II
is no great secret that the mOguls
of the National Professional Foot
ball league, the major circuit Of pro-
fessiOnal gridiron artists, are COM
planning bitterly over the failure Of
many Of the most publicized cole
giatc stars to join the play-for-pay
ranks.
