Vast Unemployment Problem Seen
I'm Postwar Period By Speaker

This means an air force of about
$4,000 bombers to provide replace
ments and training. United States
is rapidly approaching this figure.
STARVATION
These bombers together with the
British bombers will bring devasta-
ton upon Europe. The hunger
blockade will bring starvation to
countless millions. Even at the
present time there are 300,0OO,000
people in Europe seriously underfed
according to an estimate of former
President Herbert Hoover.
A further profound effect on
American life will be taxes of stag
gering proportions. In England at
the present time 80 per cent of all
the income is going to maintain the
war.
INITIATION
Imitation is a likely consequence
of debts getting out of line. Page
was in Germany at the time of the
period of imitation and pointed out
that an American dollar bill would
buy six trillion marks which nor
mally would buy only four or five
marks.
In this period of despair Hitler
came to power, not because he was
a brilliant orator who pursued the
people against their better judgment
but because he was able to crys-
tallize the German public opinion
more efficiently than anyone else.
Consequently the majority of the
people were back of Hitler's pro-
gram, Page pointed out.
SPIRITUAL RESOURCES
The speaker concluded his re-
marks with some suggestions as to
how one could avoid some crushing
effects of the war.
1. Learn how to live in a storm.
In the crisis that will follow Amer
lean participation it is important to
be prepared for the eventuality.
2. Transform the home into cen
ters of spiritual power. Spiritual
resources must be called on to
xvaathar the storm
3. Repair friendships on high
level of spiritual life. There must
be fellowship in thought, prayer and
action.
With the present war already cost
ing much more than the last one
and devastation more complete, it
will be necessary to call on the re-
sources of religion to withstand the
shock, the speaker stated in conclud-
ing his remarks.

 Hogan finds himself pitted against such husky citizens as Craig Wood Vic Ghezzl, Jimmy Thomson, Law son Little, Clayton Heather, Jimmy Hines and Ed Oliver. Any one of them probably could pick him up with one hand, but little Benny will stand on a tee and, on the average, belt a golf ball as far aS any of them.
 Hogan's hands tell the story of how he got that way. They are Q mass of caliouseS where he has gripped clubs for years In hour after hour of practicing. Other pros could spend their time playing bridge or chewing the fat in the clubhouse. Benny was eternally practicing, hit- ting long irons, short irons, woods and staying on the practice greens till dark closed In on him,

 There were many times In his sub- Seauent career when 1t appeared that his prediction would never come true. Luck seemed to run against him, and he once shot three 66'S in the Texas Open open to have sorne- body tic him and then win the play.off.
 On Ills Game
 Hogan really got under way last year, The hours of practice began to count, something in his game started to click and he began rolling up victories. During one stretch last season he reeled of 2i6 holes of competitive golf in 34 under par. Ten times in i2 rounds he broke TO-
 To make up for his lack of size Hogan has developed . full swing and terrific impact at the moment the club meets the ball. But his chief weapon against the big boys at Fresh Meadow will be his ability tc concentrate, to dismiss everything from his mind except the job of get ting the little white ball into the I hole in the fewest possible number of shots.
 Hogan won the tough doodall last year and the law of averages will be running against him this trip, But you can't sell that Idea to the bookmakers who know what the little fellow can do when tho pres- sure !s heaviest.

POPULAR BOSS OF FEATHERS TO

(SPGClAA 70 tnC DeunVCG@V
 New York, May 2l.-Considerable interest is being shown by local fight fans in the eight-round semi final boxing event ct Madison Square Garden Thursday night. It brings together Chalky Wright, Los Angeles featherweight, and Sal Bar tolo, of Boston, on the program headlined by Anton Christoforidis rcunder.
 For Q long time Wright has been and Gus Lesnevich in a fiftee11- hailed as the uncrowned world featherweight champion. He has beaten practically every leading 126- pounder in the world but the lads who have held the official world title during the past few years have shown a vast disinclination to risk their laurels against Wright.
 The New York state athletic coi1l- mission stepped in some time ago, however, and demanded that Wright be given 6 chance at the title. Fora feits in the amount of LOCO each were placed with the commission by Harry Jeffra and Joey Archibald, guaranteeing that the winner of an Archibald -Jeffra fight would meet Wright.
 Al Weill Agreeable
 Archibald and Jeffra clashed in Washington last week with Archi- bald the winner. Al We'll, manager of Archibald, then visited the con- mission and agreed to have the new champion take on Wright before Aug l2.
 But Wright's hopes of fighting for the title may be crushed at the Garden Thursday. Tn Bartolo he meets a youngster who has title ideas of his own, a lad who can point to triumphs over such men as Maxie Shapiro, George sala- none, Poison Ivy, Sammy Garcia, Tony Dupre, Abe Denner, Paco Villa, Everett Rightmire, Vince Dell Orto, Monty Pignatore, and e draw with Bobby Ruffin.
 If Bartolo defeats Wright, Lew Burston, Sols manager, plans an immediate visit to the commission to demand that his fighter, instead of Wright, be given the crack at Archibald.

Fielding and batting well behind the one-hit pitching of Harvey Brownell, Waterbury Tool softball team went to the top of the Indus- trial League national division in easy fashion last night, when the Toolers turned in a l2 to 2 win over Undergarment which was nearly shut out with 8 no-hit, no-run performance by BrowneN, who was scored upon in the last inning. In the second inning, Tool piled up seven runs to clinch the game.
 Pete Yarnell of Benrus also chalk cd up Q fine pitching performance with a tWo-hit job on the Water bury Manufacturing array, though the latter team was beaten by the smallest possible margin 4-3. Eleven strikeouts by Yarnell also helped clinch the game, which, however, went into extra innings.
 Chase Metal shut out Manville Machine 30.0 in Q So-called "con- test" which saw the winners get il runs in one inning; while Brock Hall was beaten almost as badly by Plume and Atwood's ten, 9 to 2. Farrel Foundry defeated Paper Box in Q much better game 2 to 5. The PA team got off to a 9 run start in the first inning, Grant hit- ting home run that was good for four markers. Scores:

WH|RLAWAY NOW RATED PROBABLE. HORSE OF YEAR
Easy Victor Over Midland Yesterday; Wavered But
 Won $z,50O Race
Rx LACK GIIENTHER

United Press Stan CorreSpondent)
 New York, May 2l-(UP)-The little horse was up there all alone today-the master of all America.
 His name Is Whirlaway and he has accomplished every task placed before him. First he won the Ken- lucky Derby. Then he swept the Preakness. Yesterday he flashed his sensational stretch run again and overshadowed everything he had done in his previous races.
 In one great, late dash he hurl- land famed as the stoutest running bled 0. s. Towards vaunted Mo- thoroughbred In the land. He did 1t by two and c half lengths In . $2,5o0 race known as the Henry of Navaree, and he did 1t in Q manner that stamped him as the probable "horse of the year."
 He whipped Midland by . great gap of open daylight and he left such case hardened veterans as Grentree Stables Hash, Mrs. c. D. Kidener's Your Chance and Gustave Rings Ringie far behind In the mile and one sixteenth race that was run in 1:43 3-6.
 Slow Starter
 Just as he has In his efforts be- fore, Whirlaway broke last. He was of fifth before the l6,283 spectators ct Belmont Park. But he stayed last only Q moment. In a hundred yards he was fourth, while Your Chance was taking the lead away from the pace-setter, and in an- other l6 seconds he started his bid on the wide, sloplng turn Into the straightaway.
 Although young Wendell Eads was on his back in place of Eddie Arr caro, who rode him in the Derby and the Preakness, Whirlaway made that bid good. He wavered and he woblbed and he all but hit the out- side rail as he swerved, but never theless he hit the finish line first with plenty to spare. He earned only si ,e50 and paid only $360 on straight bets, but he proved his prowess beyond doubt.
 Midland caught Hash by 6 head in Q photo finish although Hash was ridden by Arcaro. Your Chance was fourth and Ringie fifth and both were hopelessly licked. Mo- land paid 92.40 and $300 end Hash 6 mere S2.80 for show, despite the distance which split them.
