The winged stalwarts of the
sky who make up the air force OF
the United States Navy have a
new recruit worthy of their ira
ditions.
He's Paul KRONER. the Univer-
sity of Michigan football player
who will enlist as soon as his birth
certificate arrives from his home
in Lorain, o. The solid little
gridder passed his physical exam
with no trouble at all yesterday
at the Crosse lie base.
PRAISED BY EDWARDS
Lieut.. Commander c. L. Ed
wards of the Crosse lie base, who
signed Kroner, said:
paul Is just the type we are
looking for. One of the chief
assets of q successful fiier Is a
cool head. I've seen enough of
Paul on the football field to
know he Ii as cool as they
come"
A senior in school, Kromer's
order number in the draft is 1912,
low for Ann Arbor, where he reg
istered. And so the 23-year-old
athlete decided to cast his lot with
the air force.
That's about all there Is to
IT," grinned the happy-go-lucky
youngster as he went through
the rigid tests given him. by DR..

Soon he didn't have a peer at the
position.
He and Aurie blossomed into
such stars that they made Connie
Smythe of Toronto dissatisfied
with his great kid" line, and he
broke it up by selling Harvey
Jackson and Charley Conacher.
Lewis went on bagging goals
by the bushel for the Red Wings
until the Wing cup machine col
lapsed following the 81 victory.

Herbie and Hec are coming back
to the Red Wings! Two of the
foremost players of Detroit's STAN
ley Cup winning teams of 1896
and 1887 will slip on those red
jerseys again to play with the
Wings against the amateur all
stars in the Frank MacDonell

Herbert Lewis and Hector Kill

indianapolis Capitols m anage
themselves for a day to rejoin
some of their former mates in the
fund game.
1t will be a real homecoming il
Larry Aurie and Marty Barry,
who formed the Wings best for
ward line of all time, can join
Lewis in a sweep down the ice.
but even the presence of Herbie
and Hec. with Normie Smith back
there in the nets, will add plenty
to the battle.

Herbie and Hec to RejOin Wings
Old Stanley Cup Heroes to Play in MacDoneI Game

Then the black-haired star, who
had been packing his money into
investments in Duluth, did an
other smart thing. He quit hockey
and took over the managership
of the Wings new American
League affiliate, the Indianapolis
Capitols.
FAMOUS PASS RECALLED
Lewis has been a real success
as boss at Indianapolis, and one
of his trusted aides Is Hec Kilrea,
who went down to the Capitols
Last season from Detroit. Kilrea
was a kid star at Ottawa when
Jack Adams was playing his last
seasons.
AS a member OF the Red Wings,
Kilrea scored many valuable goals.
Among the plays that will never
be forgotten was his pass TO Mud
Bruneteau for the goal which beat
the Maroons in the cup playof
game which went 116 minutes and
80 seconds overtime at Montreal
in 1896 and his shot which put
Canadiens out of the playoffs in
1887.

MOVED TO LEFT WING

Left wings don't come any
better than the Duke of Duluth,
Herbert Fitzmaurice Lewis. He
came to Detroit as a center when
the Wings drafted him from the
minor leagues, but Jack Adams
soon switched him to left wing.

PROVES HIS COURAGE

But there is more to it. And
those who have followed his tur-
bulent gridiron career will so tes-
tify. Courage and keenness are
the prime requisites of an aviator,
and Kroner will bring both those
attributes to his new career.

BRAVES CRITICISM

Left off the squad that made
the trip to Illinois that year,
KRONER went home to Lorain. But
he came back in the face of criti-
cism that arose over a reported
difference between him and the
coaching staff and finished out the
season.
Although he wasn't invited back
for practice last year. Kroner re-
ported again. 1t took courage TO
stick, a courage tested by doubt
whether he would play. and. if he
did play, if his knee would hold up.
That courage was rewarded and
his keenness proved when, in the
final game of the season and the
final game of his career, he ran
80 yards for touchdown against
arch rival Ohio State.
The Naval Air Force has a
worthy recruit.

How
 America Feels
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The poll just completed by the American Institute of Public Op- inion on the issue of conveying war materials to Britain reflects both a growing awareness in the American people of the need for more vigorous action in defense of our way of life and an ulti- mate determination that England must not be permitted to fall.
 Of late, the isolationists and op ponents of aid to England have taken noisy comfort in the Gal lup poll which showed only IF percent of the p-ople in favor of an immediate declaration of war against Germany. That meant. thsy insisted, that 83 percent of the people were against conveys 'because conveys mean war
 To them, the latest Gallup poll is certain to be disillusioning, be cause 1t shows that in the inter viewing process begun just a few days after the start of the Balkan war, only 50 p-rcent of the people are now opposed to the use of conveys; fl percent favor it, and nine percent are undecided. This sample of public opinion bears out what the isola- tionists and enemies of England in this country overlooked - the fact that the Gallup polls have consistently shown the American people are willing to aid England even at the risk of war.
 The latest Gallup poll further showed that Fl psrcent of the people interviewed favor the use of conveys if they become neces- ssry to prevent the defeat of Eng land, with only 2l parcent op- posed and eight percent undecid- ed. If this means anything, means that the American people mean to deliver the goods to de feat Hitl rism.

Lloyd George flashing Out
 At Churchill

LONDON, May 2 Prime Min iefer Churchill won the over wheln7ing vote of confidence in the HouS7 of Commons despite the stride7t charge of Lloyd Geo rge that America has got to do more" if she enables Great Brit ain to beat Germany.
 The former Premier, in the most outspoken utterances in many months, warned the Gov ernment against exaggerating speed or amounts from the Unit ed States in war materials and de clared the American war organiz ation is traditionally full of dis appointments" and he also de- manded real war Cabinet to lend all kinds of blunders and that would weaken aid from the United States"
 Lloyd c orge cried out: q thank God" for Secretary of War Stimson's speech as it indicates that President Roosevelt and Stimson both realize the gravity of Great Britain's position.
 Churchill remained restive un- der Lloyd George's hour-long ton que flashing.

The spread of fatalism and fear should be left to Hitler. It is an improper business for those who profess to have nc liking for him and his doctrines. It is doubly improper when indulged in by someone in high place. The achievements of Col. Lindbergh in the past have given him a strong foundation in tn, esteem of his countrymen. An unfortun- ately large number of them will De inclined to think that a thing IS so because he says that it is so, Furthermore, no matter how pure his motives, his point of view allies him with those who's motives are not characterized by like degree of purity. He should nave spoken only with the ut most of caution.

Listening for a voice from the 9thsr side of the fence, Secre- .ary of State Hull has made him self heard As might have been expected, his utterances were zomewhat guarded, but there was no doubt as to the trend of his thought, generally considered. No direct reference was made to conveying, but portions of the address were strongly suggestive. Since the s -cretary believes that this is our fight, and that ways must be found to get quick and full aid to Britain, it can hard ly be said that he considers a convoy system to be out of the question.

Current Comments From Washington

Expressing his opinion in Enoch Arden, the poet Tennyson said that things |. seen are mightier than things heard, Consid ring the time, place and attendant cir cumstances, the remark was pro- bably correct. Radio transmission has changed matters consider ably. The spoken word now can be poured into millions of ears at once. A p=rson does mot even have to be able to read, in order to keep fully posted as to what is going on. Moreover, the in formation passes from speaker in New York to a hear-r in Lon don or San Francisco in less than a second, and there is no oppor- tunity to undermine it's force by contempOraneous argument or denial.

In any event, London sees much of encouragement in the address of Secretary Hull, and is confident that help will be enlarg ed, rather than reduced. The Brit ish may find even more comfort embodied in the words of Mayor La Guardia, Chairman of the Canadian and United States Joint Defense Board, who has let fall the hint that this country may find 1t necessary to extend ma rine protection within a bound ary a thousand miles from our shores.

So argue the friends of the cor voy movement, whether right or wrong. There is widespread diff dence about suggesting that we go the limit. Equally wid spread is the conviction that the United States stand in the Valley of De cision. If anything is to be done, more effective than what is be- ing done, it should be accomlish- cd quickly If tn United States intends to maintain its present status, then that should be made manifest and without delay.

Thought For The Week
Philadelphia Recard)

A report of the National Safe ty Council breaks the bad news that it is little safer, if any, to be living in the peaceful United States than in bombed England Our average of deaths by acci- dent last year was over 5000 a month"
 We don't think this news will make the British feel better.
 But it ought to make us feel terrible.

Thus it comes about that the takers of the past f w days have furnished plenty of material for comment, and Col. Lindbergh comes first in the order of deliv- cry. He does not believe in war. Few do. Ths right to say as much should not be abridged. Yet it is no argument against war to in sist that England cannot possibly win, that the United States is wasting her efforts on a lost cause, and that what has happen ed to nations who presumed to stand in the way of Maxi ambi- tions is an awful example to thosa who have a like degree of self respect, and love of liberty ci~her in the abstract or the con- crete.

 United States has a sound busi- ness brain. Why stretch every nerve to supply war munitions, and then let them be sent to the bottom? Again, the Lend-Lease law is here and approved. Having set its hand to the blow, it will be hard for the United States to turn back. The Lend-LeaS- law will become a dead letter if the material furnished under its terms goes to the fishes, or worse yet, b comes the sinews of war in Axis hands.

Major Offers DeIuge
Wakefield, Star Of
Wolverine Nine
Dodgers Now in Ranks
Of Bidders; Likely to
Get $25, 900 Bonus
By the Associated Press.

by tHc hsSOCldJeO ELcSn.
CHICAGO, June 2O.-Young Dick
Wakefield is keeping his ears open
and his mouth shut these days as
the major league offers pour in.
This 20-year-old University Of
Michigan sophomore announced
quite simply three weeks ago he was
quitting school to play professional
baseball. The scouts almost tram
pied each other in their rush toward
Ann Arbor.
Now, three weeks later, he has
had tryouts with five clubs and has
talked terms with two others, The
consensus is that Wakefield, willoWy,
6-foot-3 outflelder, is a great pros
pect.
The Brooklyn Dodgers looked him
over yesterday in pre-game practice
at Cubs park. Wakefield smacked
several liners off Southpaw Vito
Tamulis and lashed two of Luke
Hamlin's fast balls into the right
field stands 400 feet away.
Say, that kid really takes a good
cut at the ball" enthused Manager
Leo Durocher of the Dodgers.
The Chicago youngster put on
similar~>clouting exhibition for De-
troit, Cincinnati, Washington and
Cleveland. The Boston Red Sox also
are interested and the Tigers and
Yanks repeatedly have told him they
would top any other offer.
Wakefield has divulged no offers,
but one big league executive esti-
mated it would take bonus of close
to s25 900 to sign the young slugger.
Wakefield's father, Howard Wake
field, was catcher with Cleveland
and Washington IS years ago.
