BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, March O.
American correspondents waiting at
Bad Nauheim, Germany, to be ex-
changed for Axis journalists in the
United States have started the only
American newspaper in Europe: The
Bad Nauheim Pudding.
The first issue, edited by 10 cor
respondents who stayed at their
posts in Berlin and Paris until
interned, reported that their colony
was enjoying normal health, con-
ducting its own university, reading
mainly detective stories, and was
seeking a place to play baseball with
equipment recently received.
The paper said the Bad Neuheim
university exile had an enroll
ment of 228 students with IA instruc-
tors teaching II subjects, ranging
from modern languages to tap dane
ing.
Most popular course is Russian
history, taught by George Kennan,
former first secretary of the United
states Embassy IN beTun. Louis r.
Lochner. former chief of the ASso-
ciated Press Berlin bureau, is teach
ing civics.
Other Associated Press men at Bad
Nauheim are Alvin J. Steinkof,
Edwin Shanke. Ernest Fischer and
Angus Thuermer.

turn home. the paper cautioned,

Early III LIle rrAhk NJ heht.
Roosevelt regime DR.. Rexford G.
Tugwell, in Los Angeles speech,
urged a political alliance between
the factory laborer and the farmer,
with which, he contended, business
could be relegated to the rear and
the country more or less perma-
nently be run by the advocates Of
the more abundant life, of whom he
was one.
Whether the New Deal politicians
showed the farm and labor lobbyists
the mutual advantages of co-opera-
ton or whether they themselves
saw the logic Of combining these
two powerful pressure groups, the
fact remains that the farm lobby
and the labor lobby have worked
together for eight years. Each has
played the others game, usually
with White House support.
Tickle Me" Technique.
This was bad enough in peace
times, but with the Nation fight
ing for its life in planetary war the
cooperative and selfish insistence
of these lobbies upon special favors
which imperil the national interests
Is enough to justify public resent
ment and revolt. 1t Is the sort Of
thing that ought not to be toler-
ated. 1t Is the sort of thing for
which there is neither excuse nor
defense. A fine example OF the you
tickle me and I'll tickle you tech
nique Of this lobby combination was
given this week in Washington when
the House began consideration of
the Farm Credit Administration ap-
propriations in the agricultural bill.
The Byrd committee had urged
drastic reductions in both the scope
and the funds OF the F. c. A. Ten
der concerning one of his own crea-
tions, the President could not bring
himself to go as far as the Byrd
committee, though agreeing on the
necessity of curtailment. Neverthe-
less. he did recommend a consid-
cradle cut. Despite all this, the
farm lobby opposed any reduction

sponsibility for operations of the
Navy.
Observers who have been In
close touch with the Navy for
many years hope much younger
men will be given responsible
positions, even though they may
not possess the required rank"
AS matters stand now in both
the Army and Navy We could
never have either a Nelson or
Napoleon. They would not have
high enough rank to prove their
mettle. Napoleon was a major
general at "a and Nelson was in
command at the battle of Cadiz
when he was only 81 years old.
Older Men Useful as Advisers.
In our system a man of Napo-
Icons age-if he were outstand-
ingly brilliant-could be a COM
pany commander while an officer
of Nelson's age would, at most,
command a destroyer division
(seven ships. The most bril-
liant military and naval minds
could not show their worth, be-
cause their senior officers, trained
in the orthodox manner Of the
services. would be ill-disposed
toward imaginative and unortho-
dox ideas.
This does not mean that the
elderly gentlemen in the Army
and Navy ought to be thrown
into discard Quite the contrary.
Their experience could often be
put 10 valuable use in advisory
positions.
What many students Of the
present Army and Navy organi-
Zation would like to see before
this war has gone much further
is a mixture Of old and young
men in responsible commands.
AS things are now only those

background merely because of
their age. Hitler cut through
all this maze Of tradition when
he was selecting officers to CON-
mand the Nazi land, sea and air
forces. SO far his judgment has
not been proved wrong.
The British are trying to give
promotions for merit rather than
seniority. When the former Brit
ish war secretary, Leslie Hore-
Belisha, introduced the policy of
rejuvination in the British Army
there was such a howl from the.
old guard that he was unable
to keep his job long enough to
make all the necessary changes.
But his policy is being revived
now and the British expect that
before they have a chance to
tackle the Nazis directly their
commanders, from chief Of staff
down to brigade. will all be young
men who are not stepped in the
military dogma Of century ago.

The Great Game of Politics
Labor Lobby Support Of Farm Credit Bill
AssoiIed as Ignoring National Welfare

and put its whole weight behind
unrestricted continuation. 1t was at
this juncture that that somewhat
pompous and pretentious labor
statesman" as his press agents like
to refer to Philip Murray of the
C. I. O., thrust himself into the
picture.
Now, the F. C. A. is no concern of
Mr.. Murray's. He is not employed
to represent 1t, and he knows noth-
ing about it. Farm problems are
foreign to him. and in the true in
terests Of labor (to say nothing of
those of the Nation) he should op-
pose all appropriations for unneces-
sary activities-and especially any
legislation likely to increase the
cost of food. Because unnecessary
expenditures, as the President has
pointed out, increase the dangers of
imitation, from which the wage
earners whom Mr.. Murray repre-
sents would suffer more than any
one else. And also because any rise
in the cost of food products will be
felt hurtfully by the wage earners in
increased cost of living.
Complete Humbuggery.
But none Of these things deferred
this labor statesman" from adding
the weight Of his lobby to the weight
Of the farm lobby in an effort to
Illustrate the recommendations Of
the President, whose support is 50
ardently advocated In the windy
statements that issue from labor
headquarters. On Monday, as the
House prepared to take up the bill,
Mr. Murray publicity proclaimed
himself as in favor not Of the con-
traction but Of the expansion Of
the F. c. A. program, declaring that
''it Is important that organized labor
lend its support to this program -.
because it is imperative that the in
dustrial workers and the working
farmers Of this country stand shoul-
der to shoulder in this emergency"
In other words, the Tugwellian plan.
The sheer effrontery Of this is hard
to exaggerate Its humbuggery is
complete 1t is a clear case of the
labor lobby supporting the farm
lobby in an effort to hold on to
costly favOrs to which 1t was never
fairly entitled, in return for support
which the labor lobby has had in the
past-and expects in the future
from the farm lobby for advantages
to which the labor lobby is not
fairly entitled. 1t is a back-Scratch-
ing operation which utterly ignores
the national interests and renders
ridiculous the Presidents insistence
that the war calls for sacrifices
from all classes. What makes it par
ticularly odious is the constant pos
ing of these lobbyists AS unselfish
patriots, eager to give all to save the
country.

who have seniority-a require
ment imposed either by law or
tradition-can obtain high COM
mand, regardless of whether
younger men are better qualified.
Seniority Factor Cited.
An example of this is the post
Of chief of naval operations.
To fill this place the Navy will
have to look among the admirals
who have been on the list for a
long time. The suggestion that
an officer now holding the rank
OF captain be given this impor-
tant position would have the
effect of a 1,000-pound bomb in
the Navy Department. Yet there
are quite few senior captains
and junior admirals, both ashore
and afloat, who are full OF en-
ergy and imagination and would
make ideal chiefs of naval oper-
atiOns.
The same thing applies to the
Navy afloat. An attempt to place
some younger men in high COM
mands at sea has been made, but
only mildly.
Halfhearted Efforts.
The situation of the Army is
similar, although in that service
too, there has been a mild at
tempt to push up younger men
OF proved ability. But these ef-
forts are halfhearted. Precedent,
tradition, law and other con-
siderations which are perfectly
valid in peacetime are still ad-
hered to by the men who are
responsible for selections for re-
sponsible positions in the armed
forces.
According to the generals and
admirals who look at the situa-
tion from an entirely impersonal
standpoint. the Army and Navy
are full of able young officers
who should not be kept in the

James B. Carey, national secre-

as a means of winning the war.
Labor, he told the Junior Board
of Commerce in the Annapolis
Hotel, feels that I'VE are not doing

ing of "all organizational machinery

The labor official blamed Sher-
man antitrust laws and reluctance
of industrialists to pool their trade
secrets for the begging down" He
commented: 1T is no violation OF
the law to form a combination in
industry if it is to help win the war"
Mr.. Carey also assailed news

added: What would happen to

Commenting on the large num-

asserted there were too many of
them although I must say
they earn every nickle of that

He said that labor had a serious
objection to increasing man hours

A shake-up in the upper levels
Of the Navy hierarchy is ex-
pected shortly, with the changes
involving not only some of the
admirals commanding at sea
before Pearl Harbor-but also
Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief Of
naval operations.
1t is emphasized that the off,
GERS to be affected are not being
transferred or removed because
of any particular dissatisfaction
with their services, but it is felt
in the highest quarters that new
blood Is necessary in the high
command after three months Of
unsuccessful warfare.
Admiral Stark, for example, Is
as fine a fighting sailor as the
Navy ever had, but he has been
so overworked in the last year,
and especially since December 7,
that he needs a job which is less
telling on a man than the re-

Henry McLemore. pages have been
sprinkled the past few weeks with
stories of how this first baseman,
this catcher, that pitcher is holding
out and refusing to join his team
unless he gets substantial raise IN
pay.
This isn't knock at the players
who are trying to get the ante
boosted or at the owners who are
trying to save themselves some
money. That's their business. They
can lock themselves behind doors
and argue from now until doomsdat,
or they can exchange airmail let
ters and wires until they run out Of
money. But for the good of the
game. for the good of themselves
and for the good of the morale of
the country at large, let them keep
their differences quiet.
1t Just doesn't set we'll to read
in one part Of the paper about some
young man losing his life for his
country at s2l month, and in an
other section about some young man
refusing to play at a game for any,
thing under S25,000 a year. Maybe
he is worth this to his team. The
chances are he is, and more. All
during my sports writing days I
contended that the players, day IN
and day out, got the worst of 1t
from the owners, thanks to the un-
usual system under which organized
baseball is operated. 3.
But that's neither here nor there
now. The truth is, the owners and
players are still blind to the fact
that what used to be good publicity
now is nothing but bad taste, to put
it bluntly. They are so accustomed
TO utilizing salary disputes as
means of getting the names of the
teams and players in the papers that
they apparently can't change.
Well, I've heard enough criticism
around and about to feel safe in
advising them TO do something
about it. With hundreds Of thou
sands of the Nations young men
tand old ones, too, for that matter
undergoing hardship, danger and
privation in all corners of the earth,
no baseball player is going to in
crease his popularity with the fans
by publicizing his refusal to put on
a flannel suit and work three or
four hours a day under Southern
sun.
AS our national sport, as the game
singled out by the President of the
United States himself, as one of such
importance that it should be car
ried on for the peoples good even
during time of war, baseball has a
tremendous obligation. 1t should
see to it that every one connected
with the game conducts himself In
way becoming to the new respon-
sibility.
The men who make baseball Just
can't assume that they are priv
iIeged characters with special dis
pensation. They have no right 70
take the attitude that they, and
they alone, can hang out the "bus-
ness usual" sign and go right
along as If these we're the days OF
Cobb, Three-Fngered Brown, the
indestructible orioles and Hoss Rad
bourne.
There is something else for the
players to remember. Nearly every
one of them who is prominent
enough to be holdout is hero to
half the youngsters in this coup-
try, and to a lot of the older folk,
too. This is no time to let them
down, and I can think Of no better
way to let them down than to argue
publicly for salary three. four,
five or six times the amount Gen.
Macarthur is getting.

ganda, espionage and sabotage.
The Justice Department COM
plains that 1t Is understaffed--a
dispatch from Washington on
Saturday quoted Mr.. Biddle as
saying that there were only $50
F. B. I. agents on the whole West
Coast.
Now that is not enough, but 1t
Is not possible to have enough to
deal with this problem. 1t can
not be dealt with that way at all.
No F. B. Lean by itself deal with
a mass conspiracy that includes
everything from active sabotage
to the spreading of rumors, to in
filtrating into every sort of group,
to backing up native Fascists to
spreading distrust against the
Allies and in general breaking
down confidence. The potential
Fifth Columnists in this country,
those who have already been in
one form of Fascist organization
or another, number hundreds Of
thousands. And that sort of mass
organization can only be met by
a much greater counter mass Or
ganization.
But actually counter-espionage
and er-propaganda organi-
Zations exist, financed and stated
by private patriotic groups. They
exist among the Germans and
Italians, for instance-such groups
as the Mazzini Society. and the
Loyal Americans of German
Descent.
These organizations and many
more do, to an extent, enjoy the
cooperation of the F. B. I. They
do, for instance, send informa-
ton to the F.. B. l., whose agents
then consider whether the in
formation warrants investiga-
ton or whether any law has been
broken. But 1t isn't against the
law in this country to spread
pro-Axis propaganda and Vhis-
pering campaigns.
And actually, the friendly and
active enemy eliens who could
help with counter-espionage are
being treated just like the Fas-
cists.
Solution Suggested.
The problem of eliminating or
ganized internal enemies is the
problem of pushing them out OF
the places where they can act.
A mass organization Of people.
whose members, whenever they
heard Axis propaganda being
spoken publicly or privately-and
if Mr.. Fish doesn't recognize Axis
propa ganda the people do-and
were backed up by the local police
in asking quietly for the speakers
name and address, would soon
stop this sort of talk in America.
The workers of this country
are SO per cent loyal and they
can remove saboteurs or poten-
tial saboteurs from their midst.
They can do it through their
union organizations. But they
must be given the responsibility
for doing it.
