There is a chance that the United
States is over-seliing its Good
Neighbor policy in South America.
Too many Well-meant goodwill
journeys, too much emphasis on
words and propaganda, too much
talk, and not enough action.
Priorities have hit the Good
Neighbor policy just as they naNt

Much of Latin America IS SYM

is pretty we'll understood. NeVerthe-
less Latin patience wears thin JUST

Germany, such buyers depend ap-
solutely on filling their needs from

out of the running, goods can be de-

The Inside Track in WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26 = ANY
government employe of any import
ance who ever worked for a firm
which now has contracts to furnish
more than million dollars worth
of defense materials is going to
have his record and his connections
looked into by Senator Harry S
Truman's special committee inyesti-
eating national defense.
Public hearings on this subject. if
any, will not be held until after the
first of the year. II wall take that
long for the committee counsel.
Hugh A. Fulton and Charles Pa
rick Clark, and their Investigators
to go over all the data from the
defense agencies and prepare the
case. But letters have already gone
out to all government departments
and defense agencies, asking them
to submit revised lists of all their
consultantS. lawyers, accountants
and assorted experts together with
their past and present corporate
connections and their government
pay.
There may be an inclination to
conclude that this investigation
presageS a showdown between the
New Dealers and the special fee
men who are grouped under the
broad classification of dollar-a-
year boys. Men from big business
have come in by the score and de
parted by the dozen. The number
was nearly 300 once, but a recent
register listed Sc dollar-a-year men
and "a more who worked for moth
ing.
If these dollar-a -year-men were
inclined to feel sore at being in
yestigated' again, pack up their
bags and go home for good, they
might be justified. Before one of
these experts from business can be
appointed, he is investigated by the
FBI to make sure he has no Grim
inal record, and then by the Treas
ury to make certain he and his firm
are on the up-and-up as far as in
come and corporation tax records
are concerned.
The question naturally arises a
to where the government can GET

answer is that the wrong kind of
experts have been hired Instead of
getting engineers and general sup
erlntendents like knudsen, there
have been too many chairmen of
the board and financial
men. not production men.
Hugh Fulton of the Truman COM
mittee staff insists, however, that
this IS in 20 sense a probe to get"
anybody. The Truman committee
has fInc ,loned as an auditing COM
mittcc. making study OF the de-
tense progress, preparing a critical
historical record of how the defense
program was carried out With the
conduct of the preparedness pro-
gram under the closest scrutiny,
the committee feels that it has a
duty to look into every phase of
the defense elIOrt.
In the case OF the dollar-a-year
advisers this means a study of the
sub conscious b kground d with
which they approach the problem
OF national Defense as Fulton puts
il In other words, would the nat
ural conservatism of good bus
inessman make him reluctant to
see the country expand its produc-
tive capacity, realizing that after
the defense effort ended there
would be surplus productive capacity
of thc same kind the country went
through in the late. unlamented de-
preston? And would this reflect un-
faVOrably on the speed with which
all-or,t defense progressed?
QUESTION ON SALARIES
The question of the defense ad-
yiScrS' connections with business has
come up in the Truman committee S
public hearings only once. That was
when Arthur II. Bunker. who since
June has been chief of the alumni
um and magnesium section of the
materials branch Of OPM, testified
before the committee in September

of the Lehman Corporation of New

WHEN PEACE COMES

There is lot of talk these days about
what America is going to have to say
about peace terms, when they are drawn
up About all it is is talk, so far. Unless
America strengthens her position con
sderably she won't have any more to say
about peace this time than she did last,
when Woodrow Wilson took the beating
which eventually cost him his life.
America is in the best position today
that she will ever occupy in the matter
of debating peace terms. Britain and
Russia are willing to make concessions to
this country today. They're fighting
and they need our help. But after they've
won the fight, they can say, eve don't
need you any more, and we don't want
your advice"
Now, not tomorrow, is the time for
America to decide the shape Of things
she wants in the world after War IS over
for now is the time when America Will
be able to obtain guarantees that those
things shall come to pass.

I'VE can be a better club for

pitcher. Ken Chase is getting the

he's got a chance to get off to an
early start for a change And then
there's always the possibility that
Steve Sundra will pitch back to his

There are a couple of other cogs
who may help, too, according to
Bucky. One is Al Evans, the young
catcher, who is counted upon to
spell the veteran Rick Ferrell. An
other is Ben Chapman. who Harris
hopes will come back after a dolor-

chance that either George Archie

spindly legged, 35-year-old outfielder
who wears an old chamois cloth for
a glove and a 20-year -old pitcher
who wears tinted glasses will make
the 1941 Nationals a better ball
club than they have been in some
years.
This was Manager Bucky .Iarris'
story, anyway, as the Was. -.ngton
Ball Club waited for the $40 eve
ming train to wheeZe into Orlando
and start the Mats on their journey
nome.
There undoubtedly will be more
contributing toward making this a
better club" Harris qualified, but
right now Roger Cramer and Wal
ter Masterson are the two big boys
who'll make us look better"
Bucky thinks that, between them,
Clark Griffith and himself pulled
a shrewd trade when they got
Cramer last winter in exchange for
Gerald Walker. 'I was the guy who
hollered for Walker" he admitted,
"but when I got him I didn't want
him"
Walter Masterson Sidearms.
One reason why Harris likes
Cramer is that he is qualified to
play center field, not only as a
ground coverer but as thrower.
Walker wasn't center fielder" he
said. Neither were any of our
other outf1elders last year None of
them threw well enough. Of course,
I didn't want Walker to play center.
I just wanted him on the club, but
Gee wasn't the player for me that
ne was when both of us were at
Detroit. He lost spirit, or some
thing"
Masterson, who won 3 games and
lost 13 last year, has improved
enough to reverse that record, with
a little luck, according to Harris
Hes coming now" Bucky pro-
claimed. Hes learned to pitch
sidearm to right-handed hitters
as Sid Hudson learned last sum-
mer. As a matter of fact, Walters

That's going to make big differ
ence.
For another thing, Walter finally
has got confidence. When he came
to us he was only II years old and
scared to death. Maybe we should
have farmed him out to the minors
but I was afraid somebody in the
bushes would ruin him by over
work, or something. While he was
with us his eyes started to go bad
and he got gun-shy in the box
afraid that he was going to be hurt

Masterson's eye trouble was ended
by an oculist, who prescribed spe-

HurIers Poised,
World Champs
Have No Woes
Derringer Old Self
Again; Yonks SpIuree
At Minors Expense
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


The Cincinnati Reds aren't squeez-
ing the Grapefruit League dry, but
they are making themselves look
mighty good for the opening of the
National League season a week from
tomorrow.
The world champions have won Is
games and lost 10 in the citrus
circuit, a mark which looks
little puny beside the record of ths
New York Yankees % victories and
five defeats, and several other clubs
that have been piling up deceiving
decisions against minor league op-
position.
But "a of the Reds Is games have
been against major league opponents
seven different clubs representing
both leagues-and Bill McKechnie
has been steering his raiders to hit
opening day at full throttle.
The tipoff that he is about to
succeed came yesterday when Gin
cinnati downed the Boston Red Sox
5 to 3 with six-hit pitching by Duke
Derringer and Gene Thompson and
a 12-hit attack. The game settled
about all the uncertainty that ever
had surrounded the champs.
Derringer in Trim.
Derringer had been struck in the
groin by a batted ball in Florida and
had been away from the team for
a couple of weeks. He showed that
he is his old fearSome self again
by holding the Red Sox to one hit
for three innings in his first start
since rejoining the club.
Catcher Ernie Lombardi has been
limping on the ankle he injured just
before last years World Series and
there has been doubt about how
much help he would be this year.
But he raped out three hits, two
of them doubles, and caught six in
nings yesterday to show he is fit.
These developments overshadowed
the sleight-of-hand magic many OF
the other big leaguers were show
ing the bushes last week Most Of
the teams were heading homeward
with one-day stands against assorted
rivals and the Yanks, Brooklyn
Dodgers and st. Louis Cardinals all
succeeded in winning every one OF
their seven sessions during the week.
But there wasn't a major league vic
tim in the lot.
Tigers Badly Beaten.

ORLANDO, Fla, April If the
Mats capers in the citrus belt re-
fleet what to expect when the open
ing bell of the American League
pennant fuss rings a week from
today Washington either is prepar-
ing q pleasant surprise for its fol-
lowers or Detroit has fallen hard
enough to fracture its prestige.
Against Detroit's Tigers the Mats
have been amazing. They have
played the 1910 American League
champions five times, sweeping the
series. What that might mean is
conjectural, but it may be highly
illustrative in view of the fact
Washington won only six games
from Detroit last season. Only st.
Louis was more helpful in boosting
the Tigers to the pennant.
Two More Games With Tigers.
Washington hasn't ceased swing
ing at the Tigers, who are a bit
fiustered by it all. Tomorrow the
Mats will tangle with their Pied
mont League farm team at Char
lotte, N. c., and will face the Tigers
again on Wednesday at Greenville,
S. c., and Thursday at Goldsboro,
N. c. The Phillies will be met at
Martinsville, Va, Friday before the
Mats return to Griffith Stadium to
meet Baltimore on Saturday. The
team will taper off against the
Orioles at Baltimore on Sunday
before opening the American League
campaign against the Yankees on
Monday.

trunks today, youthful Walter Mas
