Frances Tavern, one of New
York's most famous Revolutionary
shrines, celebrates its 180th an
niversary this year and has just
marked the 18th anniversary of
the discovery of a plot to poison
George Washington. The plot was
exposed by it's patriot host, Samuel
Frances.
To count just another of its
numerous connections with historic
events it has also just marked the
anniversary of it's bombardment by
a British warship in ITS and the
1875 scrap drive" of Samuel
Frances which stripped it of
leaden sashweights and other
metal equipment which were i'm

The Tavern has been restored
and is used as headquarters of the
New York State branch of the Sons
of the Revolution. 1t was a fine
mansion in Colonial New York
built in 1919 and was converted
into a tavern by Samuel Frances

Boards Lutheran Church is one
of the oldest churches in the county
and was built by Nicholas Beard,
who came here from Germany when
this part of the county was verita-
BILE wilderness and patented a large
tract of land in the CheWsville dis
trict. The first and original church
was built of logs and was located
near the Antietam Creek. 1t was
lust block house in which the early
settlers took refuge when necessary
for protection against attacks by the
Indians. In later years it was re-
built on the present location, some
of the original material from the
first church making up part of the
present church.
Nicholas Beard, who died at
Chewsville about 68 years ago from
injuries sustained from being
thrown from a horse he was riding,
near the home of his son, the late
John w. Beard, a mile east of
Chewsville, was relative and
namesake of Nicholas Beard the
first, and grandfather of the writer.
The late j. Oscar Beard had an
old German Bible which was
brought from Germany by his great
great grandfather, Nicholas Beard,
the first settler in the Chewsville
district and founder of Boards
Lutheran Church. The Bible was
printed in 1748. 1t is possible that
the Bible, like the communion
pitcher and plate, was used in the
first Boards Church.

Portugal and Spain.
The fact that the American
and British ground and air forces
have had the upper hand in
the last nine months in all their
engagements against the Axis
has contributed greatly to the
gradual change which Is reported
occurring among the people in
the southwestern corner of Eu-
rope.
Portugal has maintained a
strict neutrality since the out
break Of the war in spite of
heavy pressure exercised on her
by the belligerents. The Nazis,
however, were happy to see her
remain neutral because it offered
an excellent field of activity for
Axis agents.
The situation In Spain,
however, Is totally different.
The government Of Generalssimo
Franco has been patterned to a
great extent after that Of Mus
solini and Hitler. The strongest
bond which tied the Spanish
government to the Axis has been
the hatred Of Communism. This
has played an even greater role
than the gratitude of Franco to
the Axis powers for the support
given him in defeating the
Loyalists.
Axis Charges Answered.
The Axis agents have been very
active since 1941 in charging the
British, and later the Americans,
with desiring to hand the whole
Of Europe over to Communism
by giving a free hand to Moscow
on the European continent.
Allied propaganda has been
successful in disposing of. this
story. 1t has explained to the
Spanish people, who have a keen
political mind. that Russia Ger
tainly has no political views
about Western Europe and that
even If Moscow wanted to
spread Communism everywhere.
it would not suit the people of
America and Britain.
The Allies action in North
Africa have been such that they
appealed neither to the extreme
rightests nor to the extreme
leftists in Spain. But they did
appeal to the average Spanisrd
because We attempted to apply
old-fashfoned liberalism in the
areas entered by Allied forces.
The result Of this policy, ac-
cording to diplomatic reports,
has been that the Spanish peo-
pie have changed their attitude

The Great Game of Politics
Rebuff Of President Seen as Necessary to
Provide Any Law Curling Labor on War Strikes

vainly, the President must have
panied many who heretofore have
supported him. In particular, there
Is reason to believe he has lost
caste among the men in uniform
everywhere.
Nor is the situation improved by
reiterated insistence on the Presi-
dents proposal of Thursday to ex-
tend the draft to IS years so that
strikers might be put into military
service. There are several things to
be said about that.
First. it was generally believed
that this proposal was made to
afford an excuse for the antistrike
bill veto and the veto had been
expected from the moment he pre-
sented 1t. Second, the proposal
originally was made last March in a
bill introduced by Senator Byrd. To
this bill Mr.. Roosevelt and the labor
lobbyists were violently opposed.
The weight of the administration
was exerted against it
Under White House pressure, Paul
McNutt, Donald Nelson, Secretary
Knox and others went to Congress
and hammered the bill. 1t did not
come out of committee. Now Mr..
Roosevelt Is asking Congress to pass
the very proposal which he himself
opposed three months ago.
No Choice for Idea.
1t seems somewhat ridiculous. It
seems also impossible that Mr.
Roosevelt does not know there is
slight chance of passing this pro-
posal now. For one thing, there isn't
time. Congress intends to recess
for the summer right after July 4
and the resolution has already been
drawn. For another, it is a re-
versal of his own position. For
another the opposition in Congress
is strong Senator Byrd is for it,
OF course, but no other voice has
been recently raised.
Few think there is a chance of
favorable action now. Most believe
Mr.. Roosevelt knows that. Clearly.
then, had his veto been sustained,
We would now be without any legis-
lation at all with which to deal with
the strike threat-and with no pros
pect Of any. At least Congress, SEN
sationally rebuffing the President,
has given us law. It isn't a first
class law. but it is law and, had
the President been sustained, the
labor lobbyists would still be on
top and We would have nothing.
The defects in the law can be
cured by amendment later, but at
least it is something. The truth is
that it is difficult to explain the
Presidents attitude except on the
ground that he is a candidate de-
pendent on labor support. ,|

ables them to maintain greater
objectivity than is given to bellig-
erents or victims. And they are
a European people and will have
to live in whatever Europe
emerges after the war.
In this connection it is inter-
esting that the most pro-ally
Swedes are beginning to worry
at the apparent growth in both
Britain and America of revenge
ideas directed against the Ger
mon people as a whole.
These ideas received powerful
impetus a few days ago from the
British Labor Party, a majority
representation of which accepted
a resolution stating that Hitler

Theory Prolongs War.
II so progressive a force as the
Labor Party, whose basic princi-
pies should lead them to quite
other conclusions, takes this view,
it is not astonishing that here in
America some newspapers and
politicians are bristling with re-
venge, and there are suggestions
that the German nation will be
punished by being disnembered,
put for years under foreign con-
troll, educated by foreign teachers,
and even e-industrialized, ie.,
sentenced to starvation.
Such ideas grow in the absence
Of any clear, official statements
regarding the future OF our de-
feated German enemy. And there
is no doubt In my own mind that
the dissemination of these ideas
contributes to prolonging the
war.
Recently the leading Swedish
daily, Dagens Nyeter, which has
been astonishingly outspoken
against the Nazis, considering
the precarious position of Swe-
den, published an article which
will certainly not please the
Nazis, but will not please the
revenge politicians either.
The author, Albert Brock
Utne, warned that the democ-
racies must maintain legal and
ethical attitude, and fight for
law and justice, not vengeance,
or they will lose their own de-
mocracy.

AS Senator Byrd says, that veto
was not the act of the Commander
in Chief of a great nation at war.
Rather 1t seemed the act Of the
politician who is a candidate for
fourth term.
1t is significant that almost no
one in Washington thinks the Pres
ident's action was free from politi-
cal considerations. On the contrary,
nearly every one believes it was not
free.
From that standpoint, the un-
precedented speed with which Con-
gress overrode him has made what
may have seemed good politics be-
forehand look like bad politics now.
For Congress, vigorously responding
to an overwhelming sentiment, has
isolated the President with the la
Dor lobbyists whose obvious price of
support is that their right to strike
during the war not be taken from
them.
Bill Unleashed Pressure.
Anything but that has been their
constant plea. For a long time,
with the help Of the President, they
STAYED antistrike legislation off with
phony nonstrike pledged until Con-
gress, angered not only by the coal
strike but by plenty of others with
which John L. Lewis had nothing
to do and friends Of the President
had much. finally passed the Con-
nally-Smith bill.
Then the labor lobbyists descended
on the President and applied full
pressure. And, though Mr.. Roose-
velt was strongly urged to sign the
bill by his most intimate friends
and aides. he went in the other
direction.
No one contended the bill was a
perfect bill, but it was so much bet
ter than nothing that hope he
would approve existed in both par
ties and all sections. So far as
known, the opposition was repre-
sented by Philip Murray of the CIO,
William Green Of the AFL and Alex
Rose Of the Communist American
Labor party. If there were others,
their opposition was not open and
these three proved stronger than
all the rest.
In standing by them, even though
