William Emmet Moore. SO, news edi-
tor in chief of the Baltimore Sun

been spending a brief vacation.
Death was caused by a cerebral
hemorrhage, his physician said. .
Mr.. Moore, who was left with a
seriously affected leg by infantile
paralysis at the age of 80. was i'll a
year ago last October. He recov-
cred and his health permitted him
to return to his post, where he
stayed until he left recently for
Florida.
Surviving him are two brothers,
United States District Judge George
H. Moore of St. Louis and Hugh
Moore of Columbia, Mo. He never
married.
Mr.. Moore had been managing
editor of the Sun since 1929 and
was appointed news editor in chief
of both the Sun and Evening Sun
on the outbreak of war two years
ago.
Born in Missouri.
Born in La Grange, Mo-, June
80, 1873, he went to public schools
in La Grange and Quincy, ILL.,, just
across the Mississippi River from
his birthplace.
He also studied at Whipple Acad-
emy in Jacksonville, Ill, and was
a graduate Of the University of
Missouri. In June of this year
his university conferred on him an
honorary degree of doctor Of laws.
Mr.. Moore began his newspaper
career at the Quincy Herald and
Journal AZ years ago. The turn of
the century found him working
for the American in Chicago. Four
years later he became city editor of
the Chicago Inter-Ocean. He was
that papers managing editor when

Daily News as an editorial writer.
His 10 years with Inter-Ocean
were broken by an interval in New
York on the staff of the Herald. 1t
was there he was stricken by in
fantile paralysis and bedridden for
nearly a year.
After a year with the Chicago
Daily News, he was back in New
York this time to become success
sively the Tribune's city editor and
managing editor until the United
States went to war in 1917.
Saw Active Service With A. E. F.
His aff1iction did not prevent him
from seeing active service with the
A. E. F. as first lieutenant and later
captain in the signal corps. He
received three battle clasps for the
Aisne Marine. the Champagne =
Marine and St. Mihiel campaigns.
After service in the War College
in Washington. he went to France
and was attached to Gen. Pershing's S
general headquarters as director of
The Pictorial History of the A. E
F." With automobiles and photog-
raphers at his disposal, his job was
to record the story Of the front
lines. e
Mr.. Moore became assistant man
aging editor of the Sun In 1922. He
was a vice president of the A. S.
Abel Co., publishers of the Sum-
papers, as well as in complete charge
Of the news departments Of both
morning and afternoon papers when

Ho,U Far a Polo Ball?

In his prime, Tommy Hitchcock
could hit a polo ball as far as any
one I ever saw. Dew Milburn and
Wilburn Guest were also on the
longer side. sA.s .bi
Hitchcock figures that $50 yards,
half the distance of the field, is
about all one can get from a full
polo smash. Amy wallop beyond 100
yards is good, hard hitting.
'The longest drive I've SEEM" an
eyewitness writes, ''came from q
combination of golf and polo. Wins
ton Guest teed up a golf ball at
Meadowbrook one day, mounted his
polo pony and was then handed a
polo mallet. With a good, galloping
start and a double windup Guest
drove the golf ball the full length Of
the polo field-a matter Of 300 yards.
It was all carry"
Golf machines can reach 500
yards, which shows how far the hui
man machine lags behind the metal
contrivance.

Getting Distance

Distance isn't a mere matter Of
bulk and physical power by many
yards.
Ben Hogan, weighing less than 135
pounds, is longer by yards than
most of the $50 or 200-pound swing
erS. -s
once saw Cyril Walker, then
weighing 10 pounds, outdrive Wal
ter Hagen, at 1856, consistently in a
big tournament.
Distance comes largely from club
head speed-more so than from any
other single factor.
Bobby Jones one day, with his
own clubs missing, used his wife's
set. Mrs. Jones' driver weighed
only IL ounces, much lighter than
BOb's.
81 was astonished to find that I
was hitting the BAH that day longer
than usual" Bob said. 81 found out
that could get much greater speed
from the lighter cIubhead. Natural
ly it called for less effort in swing

Golf Sluggers

In golf Jimmy Thomson remains
the long-distance ruler with some
thing to spare.
AS recall the figures Thomson
has won the last six driving contests
arranged by the PGA.
1t must be remembered that the
only true measure in golf is from a
fiat surface, with no helping wind.
Roll doesn't count. You can drive
a golf ball mile on the ice. And
few of the long hitters can stand
ON an elevated tee and pass 300
yards ON the carry with a helping
gale.
One earnest seeker for records
once drove a golf ball well over a
understanding at the top of the
Grand Canyon.
Driving from a level surface, un-
helped by a wind, ThomsOn's best
blows usually range from 270 to 275
yards. This is big blasting. A carry
of $50 yards under these conditions
is big hitting. / doubt that any golf
er ever carried 300 yards ON fiat
ground, minus a keen breeze.
know that few good hitters care
to risk a carry beyond 225 yards
when there is trouble to face.
A helping or headwind makes a
much greater difference than many
know. A headwind is also a mental
handicap since it usually brings on
pressing and overeffort, which is al
ways a mistake.

Elmer Twitchell is among those
Mortified by the prospect and he has
written the following appeal to the
President:
"Dear Franklin: ..t
IF you want the morale Of Amer
lea kept intact, do something at
once to stop this idea of no changes
in auto models during the emer-
gency. Year after year, through
floods, fires, dust storms, quakes,
strikes, erosions and depressions, no
matter what happened to the coun-
try, automobile models came out
every season full of changes. The
more trouble, the more changes.
And the people of America are not
going to feel that everything is all
right if cars come out next fall
with the starting button right where
it is today, and with the gear shift
not lowered, raised, hidden or cam
oufaged in any way.
IT think / could stand news Of
an American reverse in battle bet
ter than I could endure the sudden
realization that the ash trays in
our limousines were to be left as in
the 1941 models, and that, nobody
had decided on new type of bump
er.
Franklin, if we are to come
through this great crisis okay, don't
prevent those auto makers from
monkeying with the gadgets, color
schemes and front ends. It's little
things like that that undermine con-
fidence, kill causes and lose wars.
'Of course I want the auto in
dustry to concentrate on defense, but
it must make a few changes in the
limousine and roadster models if
we are to remain happy people.
See that the least they do is to keep
shifting the doorknobs.
"Yours for unity and harder
search for the starting button every
season,
ELMER Twitchell."
And we think Elmer is right. If
the President doesn't do something,
congress should.

 "Our training" Kreuger said, "is based on the idea of creating an army that will fight effectively If need me under any conditions of terrain or climate"

COMPLETING. PLANS FOR BIG MEETING
Anti-War Rally August 27 to Be Addressed By Dis-
 tinguished Speakers

The Waterbury Chapter of the America First Committee will hold an important meeting at 8 p. m. to- night in the Elton Hotel at which time final plans will be completed for the mammoth anti-war rally which the organization will hold in Wilby High school on August 27th.
 Norman Thomas, outstanding so- cialist leader and former presiden- tial candidate, Rev. James E. Gillis, editor of the Catholic World" and regarded as one of the most ele- quent Catholic speakers and writers in the United States, and Congress man James A. Shanley of New Ha- ven who has consistently voted against every move in the United States Congress which he felt would push this country into another for eign war, will speak at the rally.
 The meeting tonight will set up various committees to work towerd making this rally the most import ant and the largest attended ever to be held in Waterbury. Already hundreds of people from all over the state have made arrangements to come here and to listen to three of this country's finest orators.
 Norman Thomas, announces the committee. is the only presidential candidate during the last national election who can look at his state- mentS and his platform and say T still mean every word I uttered dur ing that campaign. I was not using political oratory. said then I was opposed to this country's going into another foreign war, and I still am opposed to it."
 In 8 communication received to- day from MT. Thomas by the local America First Committee, MT. Thomas said "The present wars raging in Europe and Asia are not our wars. It is up to the American people to take a definite stand against our involvement in a war which will not only cost us millions of lives, untold suffering, but more important than that, the loss of our very freedom"
 All chapters of the America First Committee throughout the state are chartering special busses to bring their members here.
 The rally is causing considerable comment all over the state, espe- cially in this city, where there is every indication that crowds will fill the large hall at Wilby High school.
 The prominence of the speakers assures the largest crowd to ever at tend an anti-war rally in Water- bury. Of that there is no question.

PLANES
 FLY OVER CITY
Courtesy Salute Paid By. Squadron on Way tO
 Windsor Locks :

Eleven of the IA planes whlcn took of from Mitchell Field, |. r.. yesterday saiuted Waterbury as they sped on their way to the re- gently built Windsor Locks airsbase. Among the group that circIed the city in greeting were two auxiliary trainers and camoudaged pursuit planes.
 Before arriving at Windsor Locks the birds of battle also saluted Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford and Springfield, Mass. The two training planes preceded the elev- en flying in echelon formation, and one of the interceptors developed motor trouble, causing the pilot to. leave the group.
 Lieut.. F. G. Cochran of Erie, Pa, the aviator who encountered engine difficulties, made for Hartford, but when the motor started to function properly again he proceeded on to the $4,500,000 military airport, and was the first to arrive in Windsor Locks.
 In charge of the squadron was Mai Clayton Hughes, who had planned on making the hop in IS minutes. The circling of the cities consumed much of the allotted time but Lieut.. Cochran completed the journey in 25 minutes. The remain der of the squadron in trucks passed through Cheshire earlier yesterday, and were escorted to the air base by State Trooper Loren c. Larson.
