With millions of green government
checks going into the mails each

used to be.
Virtual Dictatorship.
Former ambassador William c. Bull
lit, the greatest diplomatic mischief
maker of all time, urges that the
President be given power akin to
those now welded by the dictators
of Europe and Asia. In a speech last
week he proclaimed that the world
of the future must be ruled by iron
force directed "from Washington and
London, and at the same time vio-
lently denounced American industry
for not speeding up production. He
might have gone a step farther and
included the CIO which has been
responsible for practically all the
strikes that have occurred in indus
try since the preparedness program
began.
Bullitt is the man who is charged
with having done much, while our
ambassador to France, to bring on
the present war, and I have it on
very good authority that he was
largely responsible for Poland's re-
lection of the Corridor settlement
plan. If my information is correct,
he has much to answer for.

VP33 and US. Marines were
victorious in the infantile paraly-
sis benefit basketball double
header last night at the High
School Gym.
In a listless opening game, the
Airmen came from behind in the
second quarter end gradually in
creased their margin over the
Soldiers. The score, 22-14, was
one of the lowest recorded by Is
land City League teams.
Doughboys never had their
first-string team on the floor at
one time, while the Aviator regu-
lars played practically the entire
game.
Highest scorer of the contest
was center Luce of the 33's. He
sunk four field goals. Eddie Mel
son paced the Marching Men
with the ridiculous total of five
points, two field goals and one
free shot. Two other Airmen,
Baker and Maxi, outscored the
best the Army produced. They
'swished" the net for six mark
ers.
The victory was the second in
a row for VP33, one league and
one exhibition. Previously. the
Air Squadron men had suffered
four straight defeats.
Each club committed eleven
personal fouls. Soldiers led in
sinking charity losses with 500
percentage, six out of IL.

Anderson Returns BUGS
194l Contract Unsigned

ATLANTA, Feb. 16. Up - ALT
Anderson, shortstop with the
Southern association Atlanta Crack
ers last year, said today he had re-
turned unsigned the contract offered
him by the Pittsburgh Pirates to
whom he was sold at the end of the
1910 baseball season.
Anderson declined to quote exact
figures on what the Pirates offered
him, or what he wanted. He said
the Pirate offer was not much diff
ferent from what l was getting with
Atlanta. =. 1t wasn't what I thought
/ ough to get" He added sit wouldn't
take but little more to make me
satisfied"
Anderson, who lives in suburban
Decatur, Ca, batted $50 with the
Crackers last year, and was sold to
the Pirates for $4,000 and a ball
player.
The Pirates sent him a contract
about two months ago, he said, He
returned it and they subsequently,
sent him the same contract five
times. He said he sent it back each
time.
