RUSSIA Selfish
SAYS LECTURER
Soviets II Victorious Will
Attempt to Rule World
Declares Carveth Wells

Carveth Wells, author and travel
er, yesterday said that he would
urge aid to Germany in the event
that Russia defeats the Nazis, in a
lecture before more than 1000, at
the Second church forum.
Declaring that the Soviets are ut
terly selfish and concerned only
over the welfare CT the Communis-
tic state, Mr.. Wells said that there
was chance that, once victorious
over Germany, the Russians would
seek TO overrun the world. In that
eventuality, he said, he would pre-
fer that assistance be sent to Ger
many.
The speaker attacked the Soviets
for refusing to allow this country
the use OF bases from which Nip
ponese military detectives could be
bombed, adding that this refusal
would without doubt prolong the
war.
The scarcity, and difficulties OF
obtaining rubber and tin will con-
tinue for many years, Mr. Wells
said. Latin American countries
cannot supply nearly the quantities
needed here, and the japanese vii,
destroy the Malayan rubber crop il
they are driven out of the Far East
nation. .-...
If Africa and the Dutch East In
dies are seized by the Axis powers
he predicted, the war will last 6
generation.
A film, Around the World il
Color" was exhibited by the wife Of
the speaker. Next weeks guest lee.
turer will be Sir Norman Angel
writer, speaking under the auspice.
of Bundles for Britain.

the right kind of foresight then, we
believe he possesses 1t today.
Let us send Mr.. Ryan TO congress,
Let us show the politicians that we
can do without them. Let's send a
man in whom We can place our
confidence. Let's send mans man
to Congress. Mothers, mothers, this
is your fight, just as it is mine
Fight and fight, get your friends
to do the same. Fight by pulling
the third lever. Tell your friends
to do the same thing. Pull the
third lever must be our slogan to-
morrow. Telephone your friends to-
night to do the same Tell them in
turn to call their friends. Keep it
up. Vote tomorrow for man who
has remained by our side. Vote for
a man who will not play politics
with our future, with our lifes and
with the lives of our sons. Pull the
third lever I plead with you, pull
the third lever.

a special meeting in San Francisco
Feb. IL to discuss new problems
that have arisen during the war
weeks
transportation, night baseball,
contracts, free admission to service
men. spring training and twilight
baseball are on the agenda. The
meeting was called by President

him.
Transportation IN perhaps
the most pressing problem.
Lieut.. Gen. John l.. Dewitt,
commanding the western de-
Tense command. has urged cur
tailment of rail- schedules be-
cause of troop movements.
Night baseball has been the rule
rather than the exception in the
Pacific Coast league. and inasmucn
as President Roosevelt has sug-
gested more of the same, no objec-
ton is expected from army au-
thorities.
Spring training may prove to be
a headache. Many ball players are
working in shipyards and other de-
Tense plants and inasmuch as they
draw no salary during the training
period, Il was believed many would
be reluctant to report.

a matter of individuality. A stocky
person cannot ski with the same
style as a tall one. A short per-
son has better balance than a tall
one. A person with strong legs
will have a different style than
one with less physical strength
who uses his shoulders to counter
act the weakness in his legs.
Don't try to copy someone else's
style II your build is not the same.
Good style can be of a great many
types. It's chief requisite is respect
of skiing principles. Follow gen.
eral rules and let your style de-
velop according to your physical
attributes.
The best way to acquire precise
skiing control is through slalom.
This is a competition in which the
course is marked by various flags
compelling a runner to take turns
at fixed points 1t is usually q
short and difficult course.

Johnny Mize
Becomes Giant
Cardinal Slugger
Sold on Condition

NEW YORk-Basebalrs big
gest deal Of the winter-purchase
of First Bsseman Johnny Aize
from the Cardinals by the Giants
was made on a conditional basis.
Bill Terry. general manager of
the New York National league
club, revealed today.
Terry said the Giants made the
deal for the Cardinal first base
man on basis he could be returned
to ST. Louis IL his injured
shoulder continued to bother him
in spring training.
The Giants gave the Cardinals
a reported $4,000, Pitcher Bill
Lohrman and Catcher Ken O'Dea
for Mize.
Everybody knew Mize had
a lame shoulder" said Terry.
THE Cardinals believed Mize
ms TrtuNtftu lTou1 Hts INJURY
and so did we but we made
an agreement we could return
him II he wasn't all right"
Latest information from Mize,
who is wintering in Floriefa, is
that he has completely recovered
but the Giants are taking nc
chances. They have ordered him
to Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. / for
two weeks of baths and general
conditioning before going to the
Giants Mama training camp.
There's another reason, too
why the Giants are hoping they
can keep Mize-their other first
baseman. Babe Young, has been
placed in class la in the draft
and probably will be in the army
soon.
