FDR,s RIGHT HAND

In the ten years he has been in
office, Roosevelt has not really
changed. But; the people around
him have And in all the reams
written about Roosevelt after a
decade in the White House, no one
llas emphasized the most important
change in his staff.
1t is his faithful personal secre-
.ary Miss Marguerite Missy LIE
Hand. Few people knew it, but it
was Missy who every evening after
tie stream of callers left, got the
Chief" alone and made him make
important decisions.
Postpanemers of decisions which
may jar peoples happiness is nat
ural for any President. And FDR
is no exception. But Missy lived
on the theory that there was no
,ise putting off till tomorrow what
you could do today. and she saw
that the Boss" lived up to it.
Furthermore. when he made his
decisions, she was always in there
fighting for the little fellow.
Today, Missy is i'll, casualty OF
the tremendous pressure of White
House work. In her place are Harry
Hopkins, a worse procrastinator
;aan Roosevelt and General Pa
Watson who shields his chief from
unpleasant things with a curtain
OF gold braid.
The eaIthy, plebeian, do-it-today
si:f1uence OF Missy LIE Hand is
gone.

ED FLYNNs DEFEAT

That, perhaps, is one reason why,
when a White House order comes
through, it frequently happens that
the CABINET officer or administra-
ton sub-commander waits about
two days before carrying it out.
This occurred in the case OF Ed
Flynn. Back in 1910 when Jim Far
lev cot out of the Democratic Ma
tiol.al Committee, FDR persuaded
Flynn to become chairman. He
didn't want the job, but the Presi-
dent said You can resign and be-
come an ambassador after the
campaign is over" "All right
want to go to Mexico" Flynn re-
pliea.
Later the State Department OBJ
! Jected to Mexico but agreed to
Australia, and the President told
his secretary. Grace Tulley, to have
press relations secretary Steve
Early isslie an official statement.
But Steve waited two days Flynn,
having received word direct from
the President as to when the White
HOUSE statement would be issued,
went ahead with his announce
ment in New York. He did not
know that Presidential orders don't
mean SO much these days with
/ White House sub-cornmanders.
] Two days later, when Steve Early
/ got around to it, he issued his an
nouncement, but by that time Flynn
was out on a limb. To the Senate
it looked as if he had forced Roo
sevelt's hand. That two-day delay
was what defeated Flynn-a de-
feat which Roosevelt could not af-
ford-the first defeat of its kind
since the Civil War. And it set 8
precedent. The Senate now knows
its strength and is challenging many
White House appointments.

This is not an important day In
planetary influences. 1t is a prom
ising date for amusements. Public
craving for recreation will fill the
aters and benefit musicians.
HEART AND HOME: Women are
under a most favorable direction
Of the stars today and are liable to
indulge in extravaganza. Spring
shopping will offer temptations to
forget Government warnings about
reckless spending Girls will enjoy
much adulation. especially from
men in uniform and the prospect
for many weddings in June is
good. AS the war progresses old
patterns of living again will be
sought and the effort toward social
readjustments that ignore war OBJ
legations viii be evident. Despite
many bereavements In American
families, cities will encourage gaiet-
les.
BUSINESS FFAIR s.; Plans
more or less fantastic for the pur-
pose OF preventing initiation will
have little effect upon spring retail
trade which should be good. Mar
velous substitutes for materials
withheld for war needs will'be Of
fered by merchants and manufac-
turers. The habit Of looking ahead
in apportioning family incomes will
be encouraged in novel Ways hut

American inclination to enjoy each

plete the domestic budget. =.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Partisan
politics will cause much feeling In
Washington this month when criti-

When the war broke it was only
natural that she should want to
get right into it. She likes to be
where things are happening. She
has sense of adventure and she
has great deal of courage. Just
about this time she had met a
woman who was to play an i'm

extraordinary and able woman,
Mary MacCracken Jones. Mrs.
Jones had only recently lost her
husband, and the American Red
Cross was sending her abroad
with the Home Communicate tons
Service, the headquarters of
which were in Paris. Hazel
pleaded to go, too. She would do
anything, any work, just to 60.
She took a nurses aide course
and when Mrs. Jones sailed so
did determined Miss Edgar.
They were first sent to Paris,
then to the big hospital in
Herman and to navy base No. in
Brest. Almost as soon as she
reached France, Hazel had been
transferred to Mrs. Jones Home

the two worked together all
through the war. Part of the work
of this service was keeping the

Extension
Before March Il Seen
By Senator Conna||y
Moves to Amend Act
Lack Committee Aid;
Easy Possoee Predicted

b he Associated Press
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said
today any organized opposition to
a one-year extension of the Lease
Lend Act appeared to have van
ished." He predicted it would be
laid on President Roosevelt's desk
by March IL, I'd anniversary of
his signing of the original act.
This forecast by the Texan was
echoed by Senator Gillette, Demo-
crat, of Iowa, who said the COM
mittee probably would approve the
extension unanimously. Not vote
was cast against duplicate bill in
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee.
The House voted to allow two
days debate, beginning Monday,
and Senator Connally said the Sen
ate committee probably would hold
no further hearings following testi-
mony by E. R. Stettinius, jr., lease
lend administrator, and Secretary of
the Navy Knox.
Although efforts were under way
In both houses to amend the bill in
various particulars, they lacked COM
mittee support. Senator Tydings,
Democrat. of Maryland has proposed
an amendment which would open
| the way for immediate negotiations
with the British to obtain American
title to Western Hemisphere bases
leased from Britain, and similar
plans were being talked in the
House. Some House members be-
lieved the United States likewise
should take steps to protect its in
terest in airf1elds developed abroad
and that Congress should be given
the right to approve or reject any
final settlement Of lease lend agree
ments.
Administration supporters, how
ever, seemed confident they had the
votes to put the measure through
the way they wanted it-a straight
out extension until July l, 1914. with
details of reciprocal settlement left
up for final decision around the
peace table.
Mr.. Knox told the committee the
Navy Department was fully aware Of
the need for maintaining far
flung system of naval and air bases
in the Pacific, after the war is won.
But he said he believed the appro-
pirate time to make the arrange
ments would be when the peace is
drawn.

their infantry broke and ran in the
rolling green valley north of this
village, which has been subjected to
four day assault from massed
German strength.

still smelled of burning vehicles and
acrid explosive materials, Just be-

wrecked hulk of another Nazi tank
stood out in dim outline on a nearby
ridge
While I was there a reconnais-

that a company Of Germans was
seen to break and run after they
and the tank crews apparently had
been completely demoralized by
nonstop artillery barrage.
Even after dark the crack and

tinued, putting round after round on
the road which the Germans must
use If they plan to take their
vehicles out of this area.
AS I stood beside huge Churchill

elated major several groups of pris

their long overcoats making an I'M

answered.

Forest Hill, Aug. 31-Because he is the only player of any caliber who has been steadily exposed to tourna- ment tennis this season, Francisco Segura generally is expected to take the mems national amateur champ ionship out of this country for the first time since J. Frederick Perry Of England came down in front in 1886.
 Lively, colorful, bronzed Pan cho Segura of Ecuador has bag ged dozen tournaments this year, has lost only one match-to Seymour Greenberg, the Northwest ern southpaw, with whom he even- ed his score in the playoff of the Southampton Round Robin.
 Segura of the two-handed fore hand drive, which restricts his reach, went to the semi-finals a year ago, where he was elimina- ted by Frank A. Parker, and is a vastly improved performer.
 Nothing prepares player for the combined national champion ships ending on the courts of the Forest Hills, on Labor Day, Sept. 6, like competitive fire, and along that line, Segura alone among the leaders is fit and ready.

Jimmy Cavanaugh's softballers are the 1943 champions of SS. Peter
 and Paul League by virtue of their 6 to victory last evening over Billy Fitzrnaurice's defending champions.
 Johnny Wrenn of the Democrats composing room is the man who
 spelled defeat for the ex-butcher's array, for his underhand slants were as baffling as Thurston the magi- clan. Wrennie limited the defending title holders tJ five scattered hits and only in the fifth frame when the losers scored both their tallies was he ever in danger.
 The Cavanaughties started early and before the third man was de- ceased in the first frame four runs had been registered, enough to let 2Wrenn and his nothing ball coast thereafter. Buck Thornley was a thorn in the side of the losers with his big bat as was Gus Napolitano. Frankie Rotella looked like Joe Di- Maggie in the COW pasture making several spectacular catches.

 The second wartime champion ship fields include Schroeder and Pauline Betz, defending cham pions; Schroeder and John Kra- mer, twice winners of the doubles; and Louise Brough and Margaret Osborne, holders of the women's doubles.
 BETZ PICKED TO REPEAT
 With entry in the mems and Women's singles limited to 23, the quality of play from the first round promised to be of high order. This was true also of the competition in mems, Women's and mixed doubles.
 Red-haired, fiery Miss Betz of California and Rollins College of Florida, is favored to repeat in wo- mems singles, but there is always Miss Brough, runnT-up last year.

Three Bells To New York's "Big Guy"

Dan Parker did in his column ot a few nights ago what served Sports Writers had been intending to do for the past ten decades, and that was to remind New York Sports Writers that their information ought to be more accurate. Of course we all make mistakes the Big Guy'', stated but when we make them in plain facts and in headlines we have got to as diplomat would say, "get on to ourselves"
 The "On to Youngstown" Fund which is the only means to send 8 team from Waterbury, to represent the Amateur Leaguers of this City in the National Tourney deserves your whole hearted support.
 The proceeds from this campaign will be turned over to the Army Emergency Equipment Fund, mak- ing this worthy cause all the way.
