Uneertoin Outlook
Keeps Directors
From End OF Limb

NEW YORK, Dec. Is -(R-
Recent activities in professions.
football and baseball left the
definite impression today thai
sports generally have decided
not to get too far out on a limb
and so have adopted q mark
time" policy until there is some
line on their outlook for 1943
You can't blame the boys il
they don't want to do anything
too definite one way or the 9TH
er just now concerning curtail-
ment, suspension or continuation
of their affairs for the duration,
especially since no one knows
just what the situation will be
by next April or September. So,
until the fog lifts they're appar-
emily trying bravely to keep the
business as usual" sign out,
with certain necessary wartime
variations.
You don't need a crystal ball
to figure out that conditions are
uncertain, at best, for sports
next year. The reports going
around Washington yesterday at
the National Football Leagues
December meeting were that
there might eventually be some
ruling from Manpower Commits
sioner Paul McNutt on Just
where athletes and athletics fit
into the picture.
One of these reports, heard by
some men in the league, was
that the place of spectator sports
in entertainment value for war
workers was being given consid-
Grafton, and that eventually the
green light" might be given.
But in the meantime, the folks
with investments in sports pro-
motions are marking time.
This was more than a little
obvious when the National Foot
ball League club-owners failed
to hold their annual draft of
graduating college players yes
terday at the December meet
ing, which is held each year spe-
officially for that purpose.
Of course, the draft could be
held at the regular meeting in
April, of any time Commission
er Elmer Layden might call a
get-together for that purpose. In
that case, however, the moguls
run smack into the problems of
where to begin drafting on the
graduating collegians, because
most of them, too are also ear
marked for duty with Uncle
Sam.
Veteran baseball writer's, who
have covered" the major league
meetings for years, point out
that the recent conclaves in Chi
cago had less doing, and the
least action of any in a long
time. The loops went through
such motions as agreeing to con.
tinue their 25-player club linn
its, assigning their all-star game
to Philadelphia next year and,
ut the request of the Office of
Defense transportation, began
study looking to the elimina-
ton of some $4,000 miles in
travel for next years pennant
chases.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15-(R)-
The other day Chief Bender re-
marked that "old men" of 10
ought to be able to play Big
League baseball if they could
keep their nerves under control,
and Navy Lieut.. Jim McMillen
the ex-rassler added that we all
ought to be ashamed when men
of 38 aren't in good enough con-
dition for the Army .. Maybe
they're both right, but since
baseball obviously is easier than
combat fighting, we'll merely
add our two bits worth to the
Chiefs idea E. Baseball may be-
come game for 40-year-olds
before very long and as a COL
umnist approaching that age, we
don't see why they couldn't
make those 20-yard sprints be-
tween bases or even run twice
as far after fly without losing
very many limbs OF course,
they'd look pretty bad by COM
parison with youngsters a step
or two faster, but wasn't Jack
Quinn still pitching for Brook
lyn when he was supposed to be
anywhere from so to $50 years
old? And you'll probably be
surprised at how many sprightly
young ballplayers finally admit
this year that they're over 38.

MARYLAND MERRy-GO-ROUND-
- BY DREW PEARSON

Washington, D. c.. Sept A A
very significant trend away from
President Roosevelt has been noted
by White House advisers through
out the country recently. Unless
remedied, the trend may have an
effect upon Maryland politics next
November.
Some political observers even go
so far as to hazard mild sugges-
tions that it is not beyond the
realm OF possibility that the State
might go Republican.
While this seems doubtful, never.
theless it is a fact that there has
been drastic swing away from
the President. This was particu-
larly noted in New York. 1t was
not Jim Farley alone which de-
feated Roosevelt in the Democratic
Convention for Governor. 1t was
the fact that there is a growing
drift against too long a concentra-
ton of power in the hands of one
man, plus worry with the war.
Roosevelt also struck trouble in
Texas when his candidate, Judge
James Alfred, was defeated by one
of the most blatant isOlationists in
the country, Senator Pass the
biscuits Pappy' Daniel. The vote
was close, but again many good
Democrats voted for O'Daniel tho
they knew Roosevelt was 100 per
cent against him.
But the most significant political
barometer of all the recent primar-
les was in South Carolina where
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-09-04

Republican candidates for Con-
ing great loneliness on the subject
Of lsOlatiOnism. They shrink from
being described as "iSOlatiOnists"
no matter how much their records
may justify the bestowal of that
appellation. 1t appears that, like
the author of the purple COW, they
would rather see than be one"
Everything was changed by our
entry into the war, is the explana-
ton, and now the only important
matter is to get on with it and win
it,
That is all very we'll; everyone
is Wholeheartedly in favor of prose-
cutting the war with the utmost eff
ficlency until victory has been won
But If it is so repugnant to these
candidates for public favor to be
classified as isOlationists, why, it
is surely permissible to ask, do
they continue to advocate policies
which allow of no other conclusion
than that they have not really
changed their minds about the
part this nation should play in
world affairs?
An example of this static condi-
ton in the attitude of the regular
Republican following has been
given by the Republican state
convention in Illinois which re-
nominated that staunch defender
of autarchy "Curley" Brooks, for
United States Senator. 1t is re-
ported that a proposal was made

Democratic opponent of Represen-
tative Hamilton Fish, Americas
No. l pre-Pearl Harbor obstruction
list, who captured the Republican
nomination in the New York pri-
maries.

The Fish battle is not yet over.
Nominated against him on the
Democratic ticket is a local figure
OF wide popularity in the district,
Judge Ferdinand A. Hoyt, one time

Already there are signs that the
Republicans who were after Mr..
Fish's scalp may organize in sup
port of Mr.. Hoyt, in the belief
that he will show better judgment
in matters of national Importance
than has Mr.. Fish.
They are right in considering
this course. If Judge Hoyt dis
plays intelligence he deserves the
support of independent Republi-
cans and this newspaper will be
glad to support him. Certainly,
Mr.. Fish's record, as we have re-
peatedly indicated on this page, is
not one of which Republicans can
be proud"

LEST WE FORGET

On June 25, 1910, in addressing
the Republican National conven-
ton, former President Hoover said:
Every whale that spOuts is not
submarine. The three thousand
miles of ocean is still a protection.
The air forces, tanks and armies
OF Europe are useless to attack
us unless they establish bases in
the Western Hemispher. To do
that thy must first pass our navy.
1t can stop anything in sight"
On June %, 1910, Congressman
Hamilton Fish, (RepD said: 'I do
not believe Colonel Lindbergh needs
any defenes before the American
public. | am glad to uphold his
right to discuss our foreign poll
cies over the radio. Lindbergh is
the voice of 80 per cent of the
American people, and represents
their will.
On July II, 1910, Isolationist
Republican Senator Wiley of Wis
consin said: Selection of Frank
lin Roosevelt for a third term
would mean that your children
would never be able to cast free

to the committee on resolutions to
put a plank in the platform declar-
ing against a return after the war
to anything like isOlationism. but
that this was rejected Instead
while the platform went about for
vigorous war effort, it asserted
that when peace was achieved
such world adjustments should
be made as will forever protect
and sustain our American republic
its representative form of govern
ment, and its traditional way of
life"
Weazel Words
The phrases sound we'll, as they
were intended to, and on the sur
face no patriotic citizen could fail
to indOrse the sentiments they
express. But when the atmosphere
in which they were conceived is
taken into account the declaration
assumes a different aspect The
voice is indeed the voice of Jacob
but in the words "its traditional
way of life" there is to be detected
the hairy hand of Esau. In plain
words not intended to deceive they
mean nothing else than the ''re-
turn to normalcy" of Harding.
If anyone is skeptical of this in
depreciation short trip to the die
tionary will convince him of it's
accuracy. In Webster "tradition-
al is defined as conforming to
tradition, or the order, code, prac-
tice accepted from the past" And

for the Mayor and Council to
take some definite action on
their request for little more
of the long green. Seems that
these lads in blue have asked for
an increase of IS fish per month,
and several of the Silent Men
have gone on record as favoring
the increase; however, the King
has only budeed SIS worth, which
amt the price of an old tire.
One of these days the coppers
will learn that the ideal time to
ask for more dough is just before
the city election. Employment
in Hagerstown will reach it's
peak within the next three
months, according to reliable es-
Inmates, but the labor turnover,
resulting from draft calls, deaths,
designations, ETC., will average
about 800 monthly. - The grow
ing number of vacant store rooms
in HagerstoWn can be traced
largely to the fact that merch-
ants can't get enough goods to
sell. - The big U. S. building
project at Camp Ritchie will fur
ther drain the fast-dwindline la
Dor supply in Washington and
Frederick counties. - S funny
thing, but year ago older folks
and those physically handicap
ped were given the brush off by
employers; today, many of 'em
are greeted with open arms. -
Several local men with rather
large families have already en-
listed in the Army; a feature
story for an ambitious reporter,
but don't look at me; I'm tired!
Several candidates have al
ready given up and are just
walking around to see what hap
pens. - There are proportion
ateIy more cars seen on the
streets in Hagerstown than in
Baltimore, which means some
thing or other. - Many folks 90
in for antiques, but I'm told a
fellow is collecting all types of
posters being issued during the
present war; wonder what our
grandchildren will say when they
see them on display so years
from now? - Family reunions at
the City Park this year just
about passed out of the picture.
i don't know who suggested
red paint for the Court House,
but it reminds me of an over
grown ''IittIe red school house,
Crowds at the ration board Of

one candidate will insert an ad
in a local paper (today or tomor-
row reminding the voters that
he is not applying for a special

he, as candidate, is entitled;
he will say that he wants all

Some months ago Jim Farley,
who knows his political onions
better than almost anyone in the
U. S. A, told friends that if the
war continued to drift as at pres
ent, Roosevelt would face a Re-
publican Congress. White House
advisers now feel that there may
be a lot of truth in Jim Farley's
prediction. However, what they
are hoping for is a couple of good

now and November.

MD. AND S. CAROLINA

Perhaps it is not inaccurate to
say that South Carolina and Mary
land have something in common
in that both have been ardently
for RoOsevelt's foreign policies and
both have rather large majorities
for the President in every election.
White House politicoes are not
worried about Maryland. Much
more important to them is the sit
uatiOn in various key states of the
Middle West where the loss of
Democratic seats in Congress
might give the Repuubluicans a
majority in the House of Represen-
tatives. Thus Roosevelt would be
faced with Woodrow Wilson's
handicap during his last two years
in office, and with the difficulty
confronting Herbert Hoover when

the job of running against Herbie

thought. He has issued a we'll

super-public works program for
Maryland after the war. Appar-
emily he will avoid any attack on
OConor's excellent war effort and
will appeal to the voters to con-

will mean to the returning soldiers.

known in South Carolina as no
friend of the New Deal.
Senator Maybank, on the other
hand, not only had the advantage
of being sitting Senator, but
also has been known as a close
friend Of Roosevelt. However,
with many people this hurt him
rather than helped him. And in
this connection, it is important to
