Red Wing Goalie
Now Out of Race

New York, Mar 5-AP-The New
York Rangers virtually blasted
Goalie Johnny Mowers out OF the
race for the Vezina trophy last
night as they trounced the Detroit
Red Wings. to 0. in a National
Hockey eague game.
The victory pushed the Rangers
back into a birthplace tie with De-
troit, but the Wings. with five more
games to play, are still in a favored
position for the birthplace spot.
The Rangers have only two more
tits.
Bryan Hextall, Ranger right
wing, increased his hold on first
place among the leagues sharp
shooters by netting his cath and
18th goals OF the season. He now
leads Dave Schriner OF Toronto by
four goals.
The unsteady Detroit defense
yielded four second.period goals
and one each in the first and third
periods. Every goal was fired from
with eight feet or less on quick
shots from neat passes.
Mowers fell II goals behind Wal.
ter (Turk) Broda OF the Toronto
Maple Leafs in the Vezina trophy
race for the goalie who has the
fewest goals scored against him
during the season, and the total
practically eliminated him from
the race.

Newsonn Predicts
Tigers Will Win

Lakeland. Fla, Mar. SAP -
Louis (Buck) Newsom was back on
the Detroit Tigers training camp
scene today with new" thumb
and couple predictions.
After participating in his first
workout yesterday, Buck declared
that % he was headed for a
great season o. the mound and
90 that the Tigers would win an
other American League pennant.
The big Detroit hurler won 81
games and lost FIVE in 1910. Win
ner of Is consecutive games, he had
only three to go TO equal the Ameri-
can League record when he suffered
thumb fracture in a game with
the Boston Red Soa.
Newsom reported TO Manager
Del Baker that the thumb is com.
pletely healed.
ITS just like the other one
now" he remarked, holding both
up for inspection. That break
kept me out Of having a record
season. II hadn't broken the
thumb Ia have really showed
something"
Apparently In excellent physical
shape, Newsom said he was
about" 10 pounds overweight as
he tipped the scales at 2l0.
Manager Del Baker will have to
watch his pitching stan closely be-
cause OF the new major league rul.
ing that clubs must obtain waivers
on certain promising rockies before
shipping them back to the minors.
Nine OF the 20 pitchers now in
training will probably be cut adrift
by May Is, deadline for the 25-
player limit rule, and as a result
the more promising rockies will
probably get the call over non-pro-
ducing veterans.

Now, after 20 years. he gives up,
and disbands the whole shooting

radical groups are essentially out

to take positive. constructive stand
on present-day problems"
Well, 129,2557673 people in the
United States have known for q
long time those same things, which
it took Lovestone 20 years of heart
breaking effort to discover.
With the other radical parties
it fares scarcely better. Browder's

for turning Germany over to the
Nazis. 1t materially aided the COL
lapse of France. 1t disrupted the
Republican defense of Spain, and
brough on the disorders that gave
Japan its opportunity to overrun
China.
The Socialists, after a brief fir
tation with the Communists, have
had to start all over again after
receiving that kiss of death, and
the total vote for all radical parties
in the last election was lower thai

Why? Because the common man

when applied have brought nothing
but ruin and death.
No radical party can ever make
the slightest headway in the United
States until it convinces large num-
bers of people that a socialist or
deeply social program can be brought
about in democratic society. No
such example has ever been pro-

BARDIA
(Christian Science Monitor)

The wedding rings and the babies Of
Italian women, the formative years of
Italian youth, the energies of Italian man
hood-all have been taken by the Fas-
cists to make Italy great military pow
er Premier Mussolini has as much as
told his people that Italy would be first
class military power, or nothing. Now in
the dark wake of Italy's defeats in
Greece, Albania, Egypt, and along the
line of precipitate retreat in Libya, comes
the news of the fall of Bardia.
Bardia, according to earlier Rome dis
patches, was to be held to the last man.
But the British are reported to have TAX
en- 10000 prisoners in Bardia. Bardia
has been made a symbol of Fascist deter
mination, perhaps to impress defenders
with sense of great responsibility to
the Fascist cause. The fall of Bardia
seems to say that Italians are neither by
nature Fascists nor to be made Fasclsts
by iron-handed Fascist education. ltal-
ian troops who have given themselves up
to the British forces in Africa now num-
ber more than $4,000.
Italian comment on the fall of Bardla
suggests that the damage to Fascist NOR
ale is not confined to the Italian troops,
but has begun to affect official quarters.
After years of preparing for the war the
Fascists find themselves up against has
tily developed British military mechanic
alton which they must admit Is over
whelming. The fall of Bardia will fur
ther complicate Italy's problems OF sup
plying its African forces and may con-
sequently release some British warshlps

STRIKES UNNECESSARY
IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
Nevada State JournaD


A seventeen billion dollar budget was
handed to congress by President Roose-
velt shortly after he laid down the basis
on which he hopes congress ana the
American people will buckle down to de-
fense preparations and to aiding the OPP
ponents of the Axis powers.
In the meantime the president partial
" cleared up a misunderstanding about
the defense program by making William
S. Knudsen director general OF four
man defense board. Coincident with the
announcement of the budget estimate,
which includes more than ten billion for
defense alone, comes report that ClO
union of airplane engine workers IN New
York plans to strike to settle some DIS
pute with the company. The engines are
for army and navy airplanes and produc-
ton of them is far behind schedule.
The situation just does not make sense.
and it is no wonder that members OF
congress are disturbed and angry: Con
gress will not pass bill outlaWng
strikes, although it may be in MOOD TO
do so. as that would be entirely against
American principles and would be a slap
in the fact of labor that labor in general
does not deserve.
If the president gives knudSen unllm-
tied authority to crack down on the heads
of industry and on the heads Of labor
unions, Sidney Hillman, chief associate
of Knudsen on the defense board, will
fall into line.
Why it should be necessary to ''crack
down" on companies or workers in times
like this is beyond understanding. Per
haps it will not be necessary in the
course of few weeks if the president,
congress and the defense board make an
example of some of the principal violat-
ors who seem now to be placing dollar
sign on their patriotism.

Probably you never heard of Jay

In radical circles, however, Love-

one of the founders of the Amerl-
