Herr Won Ribbentrop has been

Vichy Resents U. 8. Press.
Ambassador william Leshy is
reported to have received strong
complaints from the French

attitude Of the American press
! towards France. According to
these reports, the French En-
bassy in Washington has been
complaining bitterly that France

tration Is not aware Of these
continuous attacks in the shape

Even stronger pressure is being
put on the Japanese. The danger
of American British Russian CO.
operation In the Far East is being
strongly emphasized. The jap
anese are being told that the
United States has already started
shipping bombers to Russia by
way Of Kamchatka and. unless
the American feet becomes en-
gagged. in the Pacific rs well as
the Atlantic these shipments will
increase. As long as the United
States Is not involved actively in
. war 1t can escort transports and
cargoes to the Siberian ports.
These shipments OF war ma
terials, the Germans say, are di-
rected against Japan. They
cannot be Of much use in Euro
pean Russia. The distances over
land are too great and in any
event they will never reach the
front in time. But they can be
extremely useful to the Siberian
Army when the western powers
decide to squeeze Japan. These
arguments of the German diplo-
mats seem to impress the present
Japanese government-which has
recently been given to choice Of
abandoning the Axis and living
in peace and friendship with the
United States or fighting us. As
far As 1t can be ascertained,
the proposals Of the United States
have fallen on deaf ears.

The Great Game Of Politics
Failufs to Name Attorney, General AssoiIsd;
Murphy Reported Slated for vaconey

/ hsht. and that. 1t Il said. he
would like to avoid.
The other explanation Of the
Roosevelt reluctance Is that the
President feels under no obligations
to appoint Mr.. Biddle Just because
1t has been forecast that he would.
He has made him no promise, and
really would like to appoint Mr..
Justice Frank Murphy. who was
Attorney General before Mr.. jack
son. 1t il we'll established that Mr..
Murphy is not happy on the su-
preme Court. For one thing, 1t is
said, the work is not to his taste and
he rather dislikes the restrictions on
his social life which membership on
the court Is supposed to impose. For
another, he does not get along per-
sonally with Justice Felix Prank
furter. There has been no open
break, but there Is . complete abb
sence of affection or esteem between
the two.
Tsugh On Mr.. Biddle.
Within the past six weeks Mr..
Murphy has lunched with the Presi-
dent, privately, at least four times.
The result Of these luncheons has
been q series Of printed reports that
he wants to retire from the court:
that the President Is eonsidering
making him either Attorney Gen.
eral or Governor Of the Philippines,
both Of which positions he has held.
1t is said by Mr.. Murphy's friends
that he can be Attorney General
again If he wants to, which (unless
the President decides-as he might
to put Mr.. Biddle on the court in
his place. would be pretty tough on
Mr.. Biddle, though not at all i'm
probable.
However, it should be improbable.
1t is the sort Of appointment or
switch that no President should con-
slider. If Mr.. Murphy Is willing to
leave the Supreme Bench to become
Attorney General, it will be COM
plets proof OF his unfitness to sit
on that bench. If Mr.. Roosevelt,
accepting his resignation from the
court. makes him Attorney Gen.
eral, Or anything else, it win be
evidence Of his own lack OF appre-
ciation Of what is due the Supreme
Court. This business Of putting
politicians on the Supreme. Court
who continue to be politicians Is
without defense. A man who ascends
TO this bench owes 1t to the court
and to the country to cease all po.
litical Activity and remain ineligible
for any other public position or
political role-includins that Of ad-
wiser to the President. Any other
attitude, either by 4 member Of the
court or by the President, detracts
from the dignity Of the court and
lessons the reverence In which 1t
should Be held. And, when the
people cease to revere their Supreme
Court, the American system may
well Be despaired Of.

~ In normal times, but II does seem
that the Department Of Justice
should not be permitted to continue
indefinitely without Z head When
Mr.. Robert H. Jackson resigned to
80 to the Supreme Court 1t was
Generally understood that Solicitor
General Francis Biddle would sue
ceed him. So sure did the usually
Well-informed administration aides
feel about this that there was real
surprise the Biddle appointment was
not announced simultaneously with
the appointments of Mr.. Jackson
and Senator Byrnes to the court.
That was six weeks ago and 1t
has not been announced yet. In the
meantime, Mr.. Biddle has been
running the department and at
tending cabinet meetings as Act
ing Attorney General. Inevitably,
the delay causes speculation. The
general expectation still Is that Mr..
Biddle will be named, but the failure
Of the President to do 70 In the six
weeks since the vacancy occurred
would seem to indicate . certain
reluctance on his part. Two views
for this reluctance are advanced.
Hostility Of Colleagues.
One is that the Prssident hesi-
tates to nominate Mr.. Biddle be-
cause Of the certainty Of opposition
to him in the Senate and the
hostility evinced toward him by one
or two Of the higher oficiAls in the
department. Mr. Biddls Is An ex-
ceedinsly agreeable man OF the
highest character and real ability.
Nevertheless, he is not free from
enemies among his colleagues and
associates. In the Senate, the reason
for the opposition Is the suspicion
that Mr.. Biddle is very much farther
to the left than any man holding
the ONCE to which he aspires should
Be. This may d Mr.. Diddle an in
justice, but there are those who
insist that he Il at least . pink, !"
that his tendencies are distinctly
radical and his close friends more 20.
BY contrast, 1t is said, he makes
his former chief, Mr.. jackson, ap-
pear conservative. There seems
little in Mr.. Biddles record to
justify this feeling about him, but it
is true that most Of the so-called
advanced thinkers" of the New
Deal are anxious to see him installed
as the real head Of the department
and some are resentful Of the de-.
lay. As for the hostility Of certain
OF his colleagues, that apparently

He is indispensable. Nobody
could take Winston's place. But
still one must admit" And
they are at it again.
1t is often very hard to remem-
Der at such luncheons whether
one Is in London or New York.
and whether the topic of the con.
versation is Winston or Mr..
Roosevelt.
But the man in the street not
only has faith In the Prime Min
lister, he loves him. He loves him
because he is 4 gentleman, be-
cause he speaks the Kings Ent-
lish, because he is very brave and
because he never puts on.
The man in the street-and
have talked with hundreds in
London and in the provinces-
loves the Prime Minister because
he is aware Of Churchill's bur-
dens, which are only an enlarge
ment of his own. The man in
the street Is aware, but not COM
pletely, that he wants to get on
with the war. He wants every
body to do his best. He Is furious
if he thinks something is not
being done that ought to be done.
but he Is patient, the average
Englishman. with mistakes that
arise from false calculation. If
only he is doing his best. The
average Englishman doesn't
doubt that the Prime Minister Is
doing his best, and his best is
the best that can be done.
Anticipates the Worst.
The Prime Minister always
presents to England his most
sanguine face. What doubts and
fears he has he keeps within the
circle Of his friends. In public
he is debonair. In private he
concentrates: he is wary. skepti-
cal and pessimistic As = matter
of policy.
Let the country be optimistic;
he believes in anticipating the
worst. The country believes
England will not be invaded. The
Prime Minister believes an in
vasion will be attempted, and he
does not write OF the possibility
Of its success.
1t is true that practically every
man, woman and child is In some
part of the plan Of the defense Of
the British Isles. It is true that
any army hurled against these
shores will confront the same
passionate rising of the people
that quenched the fires In London
with water and sand and with
their coats and their burdened
bodies.
But Winston, who speaks with
romantic reason and passion to
the English soul. weighs the odds
with q cold logic.
Ask him How are you going to
win the war?" and he replies
First We shall see that We do
not lose it.
He surrounded himself with
an atmosphere most sympathetic
to him-women, pretty ones, and
young people, preferably girls
and devoted friends. The atmos-
phere is informal. He appears
late at meals, sometimes attired
in . siren suit, which is exactly
like the uniform Of = garage me-
chanic. He is likely to look you
full In the face without seeing
you, walk away and then sud
denly turn and recognize you
and begin to speak.
Mercurial in Speech.
His mind is on something else;
on the desk he just left with
reports and decisions and an un-
finished speech. He is mercurial.
He drums absently on the table
with q fine, small hand: he
changes the course Of the con-
versation with non-sequitur.

The game is the second such
contest in two nights. Another

sortment of the best players off
four other teams. With a nue.

who are the best, the all-stars
are given a slightly better than
even chance to down the champ
ions, even with the hot pitching
of E. Sarver against them.
The game will start at Sis on

and had nine ne-stroke jobs.
But yesterday, she slipped
again. Even just little better
stroking on the green's would

TRIPLE-SORROW ON 18TH
Triple-sorrow came again on
the 18th, where the youngster
took trio of slabs from the edge
of the green after clicking off a
pair of beautiful woods on the
45O-yard hole. At the same
time, Mrs. Berggren sunk a putt,
identical to Rylma's second
seven feet--to take the hole.
And lastly, on the 18th. Ryl-
ma rolled over the top of the
cup from ten feet to let the hole
escape her.
In the meantime, Mrs. Berg
gren, who was one stroke up on
the Hillcrest contender, going
into the final ID, dead-eyed her
puts inconsist.ntly, having no
three-stroke greens.
Rylma, longer off the tees
than either Mrs. Berggren or
Mrs. r. F. DeBolt, other member
of the threesome, had trouble
with her long irons as well as
her putter.
The champion raped out her
irons in nice fashion, but dubbed
several woods.

Her worst hole was the 1885,

Rylma's one really bad hole was
the ninth, where she trapped her
second wood and took two to get

trapped her third shot, but came
out beautifully with a load of
