Voice of the People" Replies
To Defenders of "Old Dear Economy.
To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Star, May g. the letter signed
Henry &. Parker commands attention
because 1t indicates a condition in the
body polite which seems to need cor
rection. To be specific, the trouble is
readily diagnosed from the conclusion
drawn In Mr.. Parker's letter: "Is it
any wonoer that some of us do not feel
particularly enthusiastic about the sue
cess of the defense program under the
present management" The answer
would seem to be clear.
Obviously, Mr.. Parker belongs to the
Old Deal party which has been out of
offlce fol IL years. His letter goes into
some detail in condemning the New Deal
policies and measures which were Sis
tanned by the people on November S,
1910. In doing this, the people exercised
their constitutional liberty to decide
whether or not the New Deal Govern
ment should be returned to power.
Now that the spending policy, having
been Endorsed in the democratic process
Is proving itself, there would seem to be
little left but epithets in the case of
the Old Deal VS. the New Deal. Mr..
Parker uses these freely "Communistic"
Is one, national socialism" another
class legislation" etc. Meanwhile. the
war spending is proving that we can
spend ourselves into prosperity. The
New Deal policy of borrowing money
10 put unemployed people to work is
demonstrating itself in practice. Sur
plus labor is taken off the market and
wages are rising. VOX popU11

Submits Sentiments of Prof. Munro
On "Most Glaring Example" Of Inequity
To the Editor Of The Star.

.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Referring to the campaign for politi-
cal equity for the people OF Washington,
the following quotation from Prof.
William Bennett Munro's THE Govern
ment Of the United States: National,
State and Local" may be worthy of
reprintirg:
THE Inhabitants of the District of
Columbia are entirely disfranchised.
They have no vote for President, since
the District is not entitled to any
presidential electors. They have no
Senators, no Representatives in Con-
gress, no mayor, aldermen or council
lors. The only way in which any in
habitant of the District of Columbia
ever marriages to cast a ballot is by
being legal resident of some other
place. That is the way many of them
arrange 1t. When men are appointed
to Federal positions which involve their
living in Washington they often retain
their legal residences in the States from
which they come, and go back to those
states to cast their votes on election
day. But there are many thousands
who are born in Washington and live
there who have no representation either
In the national Government or in the
management of their own local affairs.
The government of the District of CO.
lumbia affords the most glaring example
OF taxation without representation that
exists in any democracy. No sophistry
can explain that simple fact away"
Prof. Munro was a member of the
faculty Of Harvard University from
1904 to 1929. He now is an instructor
at the California Institute of Technology
and a trustee and treasurer of the
Huntington Library and Art Gallery at
Pasadena. During many years his
writings were feature of the editorial
page of the Boston Herald. He was
president of the American Political
Science Association, 1927, and president
of the American Association OF Uni
versity Professors, 1929-1931. A. w.

 of one of those homers he used to clout over the walls and into the stands of American league baseball parks.
 Babes Turn Today
 You know the story of his athletic contest by now. The matches were arranged for the benefit of the United Service Organization which Is interested in establishing recre- ational centers near army camps. The first one was played in Boston on Wednesday over the Common. wealth course and Cobb won, 3 up and 2 to play. If Ruth wins today and he will be favored--they may play the rubber match in Detroit Iris Speaker, also quite @ ball play CT in his day, may challenge the winner.
 The Boston match revealed that both men have carried some of their baseball philosophy over into golf. Bobb Is still the smart percentage player. He pokes short, straight drive down the middle, preferring to be on the fairway rather than belt the ball a mile and be in the rough. He places great emphasis on his short game and is superior butter.
 Ruth whales away of the tee, shooting for Q birdie on every hole. He likes to see 'em roar down the fairway and if they catch the rough he doesen't worry too much about 1t. He never has got around to de- veloping his short game and there is a suspicion that his interest lags unless he can cut loose and belt the ball. Tn the old days it was almost as much fun to see Ruth strike out as 1t was to see him hit a homer. The same thing is true in golf. It's quite show when he fiubs a couple on the fairway and then misses a two-foot putt to take a seven.
 Played from the back tees, the Fresh Meadow course will be longer than the one they shot in Boston, and Ruth figures that is to his ad- vantage.
 Washtubs
 "But there won't be much I can do," he added, If Ty puts down here the way he did in Boston. You'd think those cups were wash tubs the way he was rolling the ball into 'em. I wasn't so hot with my butter up there, so I'm bound to show some improvement.
 That Cobb plays his irons like a pro. He gets into a ball good, and I really didn't have any idea he played tohat kind of game. I'll be ready for him this time. That thing in Boston was just warm-up"
 Both men plan to have competent advice in event they find they are equally matched and a little strat- egy is needed to turn the tide. Cobb will have Jimmy Demaret, the well-known professional. as his sec- ond. Going all out, Ruth has asked Craig Wood. national open cham pion, to be his brain trust.

Major League Pitching Fails
 To Stampede $45,OOO Rock
Ground Balls Chief Concern Of Wakefield
BY LUTHER EVANS NEA Service Stan Correspondent

Dick wakeileld's early impression of American league pitching is;
 "The ball comes up little faster, There is little more stun on 1t, Pitchers are smarter,
 "Sttll the pitching doesn't look too tough"
 Wakefield, the 2O-year-old Michi- gan sophomore whom Walter o. Briggs paid S45,000 to sign D Detroit contract, smiles ruefully and admits he has Q lot to learn,
 But he has the utmost confl- Eence in his ability to hit well.
 Against fast ball pitching, he's likely to maim an nfiel6er or lose the ball at any time. He tells you frankly that good curve gives him the moSs trouble,
 It is his fielding that is causing Wakefield chief consern, the ham, ding of ground balls in particular. DETROIT VETERANS
 HELPING YOUNGSTER
 Wakefield says he learned con- siderable working out with the Tig- CTS, Indians, Reds and Dodgers on his unprecedented shopping tour. If fails to stick in the big show 1t won't be the fault of the Detroit players and coaches,
 The youngSter especially ape preciateS what Bruce Campbell is doing for him, Campbell works with the big boy each afternoon /. points out mistakes, 1t was different in the old days when veterans fought any young Ster who came up to take Q stab at Q regular job.
 Were 1t not for Ray Fisher, Wakefield might still be moving campus lawns, raking leaves, sweep ing walks and waiting on table by way of getting through college, And playing baseball purely for fun,
 Wakefield is the son of ball player and that is all he ever wanted to be, His father, Howard Wakefield, who died this spring, caught for Cleveland and Washing ton, Dick Wakefield wanted to be catcher, too. He worked out with the Indians as one at Comiskey kNAh N tWO SUiAtAAACAH 0SOs 11S ASBOl NGN to Fisher, the one-time Yankee pitcher coaching Michigan, as a hackStop,
 Fisher at once recognized that the foot 3, l92-pound kid belonged in the outfield, He foreSaw a great left-han6ed hitter with speed and & strong arm. So he yankect Wake field out from behind the pad and maSk-a job the lad did well but not phenomenally,
 LOOSE SWINGER
 LIKE WILLIAMS Wakefield is loose swinger re- sembling Ted Williams of the Red SoX.
 He batted ,ss2 and manufactured nine home runs in helping Michigan to the Western Conference cham pionship,
 Wakefield will not be 2l until next May 6, so did not have to reg ister for the draft.
 The Michigan professor might have overlooked Richard Cum mings Wakefield when he passed out the top-ranking grades, but he'll never have Q student apply his Eco- monies more successfully.
 Forty-flve thousand dollars for Q raw recruit is lot of Economics,
