Confidence Game
Works Again. BiIks
Man Of $1,000

PHOENIX, Jan. IA. (UP)-It's an
old. old game, this confidence rack
ct. but 1t seems to work just the
same.
AS witness the case of Adolf
Blanchard, middle aged Phoenix
gardner, who lost $4,000 yesterday
to a couple of smooth talking gents
with a new line.
Blanchard saio the two men,
strangers to him, approached him
and asked for a "safe place" to keep
their money, which they flashed
for the victims benefit. Banks, they
claimed, couldn't be trusted because
they won't give you your money
back when you want it,
Blanchard disagreed about the in
tegrity of the banks, saying he could
get his money ANY time l want
TO-"
The two smoothies had their cue.
They bet Blanchard Sl00 he could
mt get his money any time he want
ed to. The theory of the game was
that Blanchard was to take the bet
to get this easy money And Blan-
chard ran true to theory.
The gardner got his money, the
men paid off and all three, true
comrades to the last man, went
to drinking establishment to seal
their friendship.
The two men now were convinced
that Blanchard's bank was safe.
They produced a big handkerchief,
into which their fumes and Blan-
chard's were placed so that Blan-
chard might re-deposit it.
Quite by accident" the knotted
handkerchief fell to the ground, but
one of the men picked it up. They
escorted Blanchard to the bank.
In front of the teller's window,
Blanchard opened up the handker-
chief to find it stuffed with paper
towels. He ran outside but his
friends were gone-and so was the
other handkerchief containing his
$1,000.

Mr.. Hopkins said he had seen
Wendell L. Willkie during the lat
ter's recent trip to England and
gave this verdict on the 1910 Re-
publican presidential nominee:
"Willkie is all right"
Shortly after landing in New York
Hopkins conferred at length with
John G. Winant, newly-appointed
Ambassador to London, and talked
by long distance telephone with Sec

passage of the measure within two
weeks.
There was a difference of opinion,
of course, on the margin of its vic
tory, but even here the spread be-
tween rival views was comparatively
small.
The measures hackers, after a
last-minute count, gave the oppoSi-
ton between % and 25 votes. Sen
ator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina, an administration strateg-
ist, put the maximum for negative
votes at 25.
Opposition legislators claimed a
nucleus" of 20 votes out of the 95
now in the chamber. One seat is
vacant.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-.
souri,, an anti-bill leader, said, how
ever, that he believed at least go
or 35" votes could be lined up for the
final test.
Regardless Of rival claims, the
general expectation in congressional
circles was that the opposition, un-
able to defeat the bill, would concen-
trate its big efforts on amendments
which would sharply restrict the
scope of the legislation and the pow
ers it confers upon the President.
Some administration supporters
conceded the opposition a chance in
such attempts, particularly on the
projected amendment which would
prohibit further transfer of destroy
erS or naval craft to Great Britain.
Friends of Wendell Z. Willkie said
that despite administration argu-
ments to the contrary, the 1910 Re-
publican presidential nominee still
believed the bill should be amended
to name the nations to be aided Mr..
Willkie, testifying for the bill last
week, urged that it name Britain,
Greece and China. Supporters of
the measure argued that such a
limitation might have an adverse
effect on other nations not now III
volved in actual hostilities.
Floor leaders for the bill, mean
while, manifested no uneasiness over
their ability to defeat any frontal
assaults on the essentials of the
measure. Instead, they were hint
ing that as soon as the legislation is
enacted, President Roosevelt would
promptly seek S1,O00,0OO,000 in ap-
preparations and contract authority
to translate the language of the
lease lend program into tangible
war supplies.
The preliminary alignment on the
bill made an unusual political criss-
cross.
For example, the leader in the
fight for the administration measure
is Senator George, whom President
Roosevelt sought to defeat in 1888.
Austin Supports Bill.
Prominent among the supporters,
too, is Senator Austin, Republican,
of Vermont, assistant minority
leader who has opposed much New
Deal legislation aside from foreign
policy questions And as a member
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
Senator White, Republican, of
Maine voted with the Democratic
Evening star., 1941-02-17

majority to bring the lease-lend bill
to the floor
Besides Senator Clark, the opposi-
tons vanguard includes Senators
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana;
Johnson, Republican, of California,
and Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, who at some time or other
have favored various New Deal pro-
posals. In committee consideration,
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa
joined the bulk of the Republicans
in opposing the bill
Senator Wheeler has been the tar
get of special criticism from Mr..
Roosevelt because of his statements
against this measure. A Roosevelt
supporter before the Chicago con-
vention in 1882, he nevertheless has
split with the President often, on
such issues as the 1887 court reor-
ganization plan.
Senators Nye and Clark long have
been linked as critics of Roosevelt
foreign policy. They fought revision
of the Neutrality Act in 1899, and
took the lead last week in question:
ing Mr. Willkie when Mr.. Willkie
testified in behalf of the British aid
program.
George Was on Purge" List.
Senator George, who became COM
mittee chairman after the death
three months ago of Senator Pitt
man, Democrat, of Nevada, has been
staunch follower of Roosevelt for
eign policies even though he has
voted against many other New Deal
measures. The President went into
Georgia during the 1888 campaign
for the senatorial nomination and
Endorsed one of Senator Georges
opponents, calling the Senator a
dyed -the-wool conservative.
White-haired Senator Johnson

campaign although the Californian
said at the time that they did not

of foreign exchange and of trade,
including raw materials vital to this
countrys defense.
They would control investments
in stocks in the Western Hemisphere
outside the United States, which
we're heretofore held by Dutch, Bel
gian, Scandinavian, Polish, Czech,
French and British countries" Sem
ator Barkley continued. Through
the control of the products We need;
through their ability to sell cheaper,
unless we abandon our standards
of living; through all the trade and
industrial and economic advantages
which would accrue to Hitler by such
victory, the NaZis would have the
superb weapons she now seeks to
forge in order to destroy U.S."
Senator Barkley scored the notion
sometimes expressed by isolationists
that the United States is self f~suffi-
cient and could sustain itself no
matter who controls the rest of the
world He told the Senate that
only about half of the strategic
materials vital to national defense
are available in the Western Hemi-
sphere.
There are IA of such strategic
materials listed by the Munitions
Board, and only three of them are
to be had in any quantity from Latin
America, and only half of them are
available in small quantities.
Denounces New Order"
Striking hard at the new order"
enviSoned by the dictators, Senator
Barkley declared:
IF it be true that the new order
which Hitler proclaims he is to es-
tabliSh throughout the world con-
templates international trade on any
heretofore recognizable pattern; if
it be true that the world which he
proposes to dominate can trade with
his consent and upon his terms only;
If the labor and the hopes of mil
lions of men and women are to be
pawns in his game of barter and
exchange; if the economic freedom
for which democracies have been
striving since the democratic ideal
was conceived is to be blasted upon
the wheels of the NaZi .juggernaut; ;
if the Christian religion and the
human virtues which it has taught
us from childhood, and the right
to espouse this religion and to prac-
tice these virtues, are to be Scourged
from the souls Of men and women
by the lash of sinister and diabolical
forces which feed on hate and fatten
on theft and pillage; if the right
of self-government and the right to
enjoy life in its fullness through the
cooperative energies of free people
are to be snuffed out by the foul
breath of military usurpation; then,
may I ask, what is the duty of
strong and free people to do in order
to bring halt to. that tide in the
affairs of men and nations which is
taking them back to medieval tor
lures, Roman legions, pogroms, vigi-
lanteS and Spanish inquisitions?
There is but one answer to that
question. That answer is provided
in the measure before the Senate of
the United States"
Despite the momentous character
of the legislation, there was a touch
of the anti-climactic about the oc-
casion. Unlike the Supreme Court
reorganization battle, the wordy war
over the League of Nations and
other memorable Senate debates in
the past, the start of argument
found Capitol Hill in general agree
ment about the final decision. Few
questioned the bills prospects for
enactment. Supporters predicted

Mr.. Early said Mr.. Hopkins, who
told reporters on arrival yesterday
that he was confident the British

himself available TO confer at length
with Secretary of State Hull at the
latter's convenience. Mr.. Hull, suf-
fering from a slight cold, was not

his trip and none too specific about
his findings.
Asked whether his special assign
ment in London was "only a mission
of observation, he answered cryp-
tically: ut was more than that"
He did, however, have these things
to say when he stepped ashore from
the clipper plane yesterday:
Il don't think Hitler can lick these
(English) people. They're as tough
a crowd as there is. With our help
they'll win"
This will not be a stalemated
war. My opinions are based on OBJ
servations I made during four weeks
In England and Scotland. I saw

I watched their preparation for the
air raids from the hotel and homes
I visited. They're tough, these Eng

I'VE won't have to give them
soldiers-what they need is material.
They have wonderful leadership.
Churchill is a great man. The spirit
of the men in the street and the
soldiers Is wonderful"
I'm confident they'll win"
Desperately Needs Help, He Says.
Mr.. Hopkins reported, however,
that Britain was desperately in

He was asked, apparently apropos

whether that help would be forth

But as a veteran member of the

He is IA years old now. and his voice

nat ..snCing the axis powers.
''We ask you, Mr.. President" said
a group of educators, writer's, reli-
gious leaders and businessmen, ito
take such steps as may be necessary
to make us not only the arsenal, but
che larder of democracy"
The request was contained In a
telegram bearing more than $50
signatures which was released to the
press by Vice President Wallace.
After the Vice President and Ma
tority Leader Barkley conferred with
the President today, Mr.. Wallace
said he understood that Britain's
situation with regard to food was
not now acute, although rationing
was being used and aid in the form
of food might become vital later.
Lease-Lend Passage Seen.
After expressing the belief that
the lease-lend legislation would be-
come law within a few days and
thus make possible our becoming
an effective arsenal" the message
said:
But the gallant garriSons of de-
mocracy may need more than arms,
Mr.. President. They may need food.
Hitler boasts that the submarine
sinkings to date are only foretaste
OF what Is to come soon.
I'VE cannot directly help the con-
Quered peoples whose food is being
stolen from them to feed the Ger
man armies of occupation. They
can be helped only by being freed
from the yoke of the oppressor. But
We can see to it that their only hope
OF liberation is not destroyed-as it
would be if the British Isles should
be reduced to starvation"

Which would assume the present du-
ties of the state school commission
and the state board of education.
The joint education committee Or
dered for next Wednesday a hearing
on the teacher tenure bill, which
was introduced by Senators Stacy of
Robeson and Howell of Buncombe.
The measure would provide that
teacher with an "a" grade certifi-
cate and three years experience, or
with lower certificate and five
years experience, would get con-
tinuing contract subject to cancella-
ton only because of incompetency,
lnsubordination, immortality or a
justifiable decrease in the number
Of teachers.
School administrators would have
to notify teachers at least 20 days
before the end of the school term if
their contracts were not to be con-
tinued. Except in cases where i'm
morality or insubordination was
charged, no teacher could be dis
missed without hearing by the To-
cal board of education.
Local school committees wishing
to discharge teachers would have to
notify their county or city school
boards, listing the charges in writ
ing, and the teachers would be given
written notice, 80 to 40 days in ad-
vance, that a hearing would be held.
Teachers would not be allowed to
cancel continuing contracts except
with the agreement of local school
administrators.
The senate killed a bill which
would have prohibited the sale of
fireworks, and passed and sent to
the house measure providing a
bond issue of $15o,ooO as the states
share Of the cost of a 100000 agri-
cultural building at N. c. state col
