Maybe I'm too fond Of repeat

true. and if Hitler has taken on
an invasion. conquest and re-

weakened himself by an inn

air strength.
Surely he might gain great
supplies Of wheat. oil and other
Sorely-needed war resources but
is il a sufficient offset? II is TO
be greatly doubted
THERE are a good many queS-
l. ton marks. Is the Russian

classes of so-called Riding

places, and there are many of
them. buy horses which already
are worn out and should be

There is neither instruction

of these places.
The investment is relatively
small and the owners feel that
il makes little difference. after
the money is recovered. whether
the animals are killed by their
treatment or not.
There are certain things the
public can do 10 help in the
campaign which the Anti
Cruelty Association has had
under way all Spring to help
the horses rented for riding.
FIRST of all, join the society,
for this organization has no fl
nancial support from either city
or county although both are
serviced.
Another is watch riders and
horses and report 10 us any un-

Riders could help much by de-
manding to see the horse with

no sores are being covered up.

War Takes
New Turn in
Red-Nazi Duel
Many Question M ark S
Confront Experts
BY HUGH s. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON, June "a
w Many fingers may still be
crossed on the grand feints and
parties between Russian and
Germany. 1t is still too early to
draw final conclusions and get
too far out on any limb. Just
the same, this news surely makes
the people who want us to plunge
into this European war before
we are remotely ready seem just
a little silly.
The following has been the
position of this column most
recently expressed in a little
book. Hell Bent for War,
which was pretty effectively
suppressed by pro-war book
distributors and newspapers;
1T is hard to see how any
kind of promises or paper pacts
between any of these treaty
busters and word-breakers hit
Ter, Stain and MussolinD would
affect their violent antipathy Of
interests or give, them any COM
fOrt-how anything could. less
than threat and power balancing
power and threat.
Neither would ever dare to
move very much farther off base
than the other had ventured.
1t Is these counter-balances and
tensions that have always sup
pressed or restrained world
powers-and they still remain
effective for us not to wait
and see something more Of the
interplay Of these great forces,
before stripping our own de-
lenses Of so much of our pro-
duction and plunging, body. soul
and britches' into a battle royal
which Is largely none of our
business-for us not to wait,
watch and listen Is the opposite
OF prudent statesmanship and
wise military strategy"

Runyon Finds Majority
Of Americans Play Cards
BY DAMON RUNYON

4 CCORDING to a survey that
"A has just come to hand,
four-fifths of the families of the
United States, or SO per cent.
play cards, which indicates that
the losers siZZle of which we
wrote the other day must be
more extensive than we thought.
The most widely known card
game is Rummy, though the
most men and women card play
ers prefer Contract Bridge.
We have this survey from the
associates of American Playing
Card manufacturers of New
York, per Macmillan Elser Jr.,
chief of the press bureau of the
j. Walter Thompson Company.
We think this must be the same
Macmillan Elser Jr. who pub
licizes the horse show in
stately high hat, and whose
impeccable sartorial arrange
ment on that occasion has been
immortalized by Dan Parker.
If the survey is correct. the
manufacture of playing cards
must be a profitable enterprise
and we hope and trust that the
A. p. c. M. via j. Walter
Thompson. diverts a reasonable
amount of its revenue to the
newspapers in advertising as the
newspapers pay the salary that
we have been known to lose at
card playing We believe in
reciprocity. But for the likes of
us, there might not be such a
great demand for playing cards.
When we are losing, we fire.
quently call for a new deck and
as are always losing many a
deck is used up.
THHS survey is said TO be the
L first investigation of the card
playing habits Of the country
and it places this pastime as
fourth in popularity. Reading.
going to movies and listening TO
the radio are rated ahead of
card playing. 1t lists II games
that it claims America plays. in
Guiding some we never heard Of
before. and it omits a number
quite familiar to us, though we
suspect the omissions may be
intentional. For instance, we
find no mention of the great
American diversion known as
"Or Tige." or Faro Bank, a
simple little game in which all
you have TO do to get stone rich
is to guess the way the cards
are going 10 come of the box.
We notice that the survey
asterisks several games with the
explanation that children also
play these games and among the
asterisked is something called
High Card" We do not sup
pose that this is Faro Bank as
adults know il, but the ex-
preston is distinctly faroesque
and we are wondering if it could
be an elementary form of "Or
Tige" for the adolescent. If so,
il would please Chew-Tobacco
Joe, the famous old time Faro
Bank dealer. He always con-
tended that every American
child should be grounded in in
fancy in the fundamentals OF
playing the bank.

Maxi Invasion

Peace Rumor
Hess Linked 10 Agitation
Before Soviet Move
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, June "A -
W Just before Hitler sprang
upon the Reds, a well-planted
rumor was passed around out
side the government here that
this conquest was 10 be in con-
nection with a peace drive e..
Hess was desperately trying TO
convince Churchill that all Hit
Ter wanted out of this war any
way was the humiliation of
communism.
The fuehrer badly needed peace
now 10 consolidate his. ill-gotten
gains and thus pcrpetuate his
economically Self-sufficient new
order He would destroy
Stain. seize the Russian store
house and offer Britain Sensa-
tionally generous peace terms -.
The yarn had more than a
slight Nazi odor. Its aromatic
qualities were heightened when
some phases Of the same story
crept into the news dispatches
from Nazi-directed Spain and
the international spy center IN
Lisbon.
GOVERNMENT officials re-
VI fused 10 accept the tale from
the first. They happened to know
concluSively the British were
working on the other side of the
fence. For several days before
Hitler jumped, London had been
pressuring Mr.. Roosevelt to
promise aid TO the Russians. 1t
seems the British, for once had
advance knowledge of Hitler's
intentions.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not 60 too
far out on the preferred limb,
perhaps because our state and
war officials were not as certain
as the British that the attack
would come at once. He merely
took advance belligerent action
against Axis diplomatic propa-
gandistS and wrote his Robin
Moor message promising Hitler
there would be no retreat from
his anti-Nazi position.
These original side-phases of
the current course give weight
and substance to Churchills
broadcast pronouncement that
no peace with NaziSm would be
considered until it was crushed.
In TRUTH. Hitler's move in it.
i self made peace even more
unpalatabIe than before, to those
here who woyld have TO agree to
il. BY regulating his non-ag-
greSsion treaty with the Reds, he
offered the ultimate proof, If any
were needed, on the complete
worthleSsness of any treaty he
might make.
So, while his conquest of the
Reds is likely 10 be less unpopu-
lar locally than any he has made,
il is only deepening the convic-
tons of the officials Of this gov
ernment in their belligerent
course.
The developments, however,
definitely doubles the serious
ness of the task they have under
taken. They would be foolish if
they did not see that if Hitler is
successful tand no one here has
much confidence in the Red
army he may be able TO acquire
all he needs.
The boundleSs raw materials
of Russia. developed only SLOW
emily under the comic Communist
government, might prod u &c
under German efficiency. With
the greatest raw native wealth
of the world under his manage
ment, he would have solid ground
