Phillie President Banned For Gambling

Rules With Iron Hand

CHICAGO, Nov. 23- R
Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
since accepting the post 40
commissioner Of organized
baseball in 1921, has ruled the
game with a firm hand to safe
guard it from criticism and
gambling.

which he has ruled:

members of the White Sox, as

As a result, the seven were
barred from baseball. They

Our idea concerning Notre
Danes chances against a o p

what on the showing of Frank
Leahy's team against tn Iowa
Pre- Flight eleven last Saturday.
The Irish won, IA to Is, but they
were played on better than even
terms all the way through.
Now there were five former pro
rlayers in the Pre-Flight ranks.
Neither the pros, nor their non
pro teammates had played togeth-
er before this year, and some OF
them haven't been on the squad
all this season.
Yet they provided large mouth
ful for the Irish who were fortu-
nate to escape at least a tie.

furnished electricity to the German war
machine. In spite of heavy anti-aircraft

While Germany's disastrous power

officials in our own government have
come forth with a postwar program for
continued expansion of hydro-electric
power development in this country. A
billion dollar was spent on government
hydro power dams prior to the war. The
latest proposals would add another five
or six billions, the intention being to
gradually shift large proportion of our
electric generating capacity over to a
handful of huge government taX-eXempt
hydro-electric dams, thereby diSplacing
hundreds of highly-taxed investor-owned
steam plants.

his life. Manager of United Press oper-

Brydon Taves was one of the most active

been the first American correspondent to
take over on arrival in Australia and
establish there headquarters for the UP
program of reporting the news. He was
in London at the time of the 1910 blitz
and since that time had had very active
life in his particular work.

the steel penny wasn't newly de-

deceptive shine too easily turned
to a wrong purpose. 1t cost many
stores what may truly be called a
pretty penny and drove one unfor-

get the materials to adjust its coin
boxes, almost crazy. On the other
hand, hoarders have been collecting
this steel issue in the fond belief
that 1t would become future rarity.
There will be no general mourning

they were new but that they never

Servicemen's Votes

Democrats and Republicans debated the
soldiers vote bill for six days and the
question narrowed down to the conStitu-
tionality and propriety of the Federal
Government managing the voting. The
concenSus of opinion was that the Army
and Navy might properly distribute the
votes but that the 48 State governments
must conduct the elections, and receive
the returns Politics were not involved in
reaching this conclusion. No one in
Washington, so far as the proceedings in
dictate, is trying to capture" the soldiers
vote in the next Presidential election, for
any one, or for any party candidate
The diScordant feature of the debate
came from charge by Senator Guffey,
Democrat of Pennsylvania, that Southern
Democrats and Northern Republicans had
formed an "unholy alliance to defeat the
Servicemen's absentee voting bill" This
brought singing rebuke to the Penn
sylvania Senator from other Democrat
Senators. Byrd, of Virginia made an an
CRY demand that Senator Guffey resign
from his post as chairman Of the Demo-
cratic Senatorial Committee, and Bailey,
OF North Carolina accused Guffey of Gin
Sulting" the Senate. Apparently Guffey
"gOt on the wrong foot" as no one seems
to agree with his position.
The attitude Of Senator'S and Represen-
tatiyes was non-partisan, fair and rea-
sonable. Aside from Guffey's remarks
there has been no feeling that anybody
had been trying to put over a political

A Thought for Today
Behind the Veil

The situation that is developing in
Jugoslavia is of much greater signifi-
canoe even than the military Importance
of that strategically located, potentially
useful little Balkan nation. Our handling
of internal Italian discords is described
by some as a supreme test of our real
attitude toward democracy. But the
Jugoslavian middle provides at least as
significant a challenge, which also can
have enormous military ramifications.
Much that we should know has been kept
from us by wartime secretiveneSS. Certain
things we do know, and they are worth
recapitulating. The Jugoslavian govern
lnent, under Paul, was captivating to
Hitler. President Roosevelt sent Colonel
William j. Donovan down there. Certain
representations were made. AS result,
there was a revolt. Paul was ouSted.
King Peter was installed. Jugoslavia re-
sisted Hitler. She took terrible beating,
which we could do nothing to soften. She
was beaten. Peter end his government

sored organization of the so-called Parti-
sans under Marshal (Tito) Josip Broz,
who did what Stain demanded, which
was the exact opposite of what London
and Washington had asked from Mikhai-
loyich. The Partisans began at once to
fight the Axis for all they were worth In
nation as independent, as warlike, as
iconocIastic as Jugoslavia, the Paritsans
appealed to the popular fancy, and their
bold activity drew to them the recruits
upon whom Mkhailovich had depended.
Therefore the Partisans became not only
the interesting, spectacular faction, but
also the powerful one. Now the Allies,
on the ground that they will help any
body who is fighting Hitler, and will help
most those who are fighting hardest, are
sending the bulk of their assistance to
Tito - and there is very strong evidence
that they are not discouraging Tito's
claim that his is now the government Of
Jugoslavia, that Peter is out for good
To laymen it seems questionable
whether Anglo-American advice to Peter
and Mikhailovitch was good. But we did
inspire the revolt which led to Peters
troubles, and we did hold back Mikhai-
lovitch when he would have done what,
under better Russian advice, Tito actu-
ally did For the fix that Peter and
Mikhailovich are now in, we Americans
and British are responsible. Therefore,
it seems to some of us, we have no moral
or ethical right now to turn on Peter and
Mikhailovitch in favor of Tito. This is
not to say that we should try to force
Peter onto his people. 1t is not to argue
against giving the Partisans the utmost
possible military assistance. 1t is merely
to suggest that, having got Peter into a
mess, we should stand by him and see
that his position remains in status quo
until liberated Jugoslavia is in position
to choose it's own government, both in
form and in personnel.

FROM GENERAL EISENHOWER
New York Herald Tribune)

II can tell you one thing: we will
win the European war in 1914. y
That, from the man appointed to
command the Anglo American con-
tribution to the victory, from the
one man more directly responsible
than any other for making good the
prediction, is brave and straight
forward thing to say. General
Eisenhower rather humorously adj
mitted that he was tempted to add
the usual cautious qualifications,
but resisted; his only qualification
is that every man and woman
throughout the Allied nations must
do his duty. If so, his prediction is
fiat: the war in Europe will be won
in the year about to open.
We believe the country will take
this for what it is-the honest esti-
mate of an experienced, fully in
formed and unusually competent
soldier. In war nothing is certain.
No one can gauge the future with
exactitude. No one, in particular,
can say what given victory will
cost. General Eisenhower gave his
listeners the credit for being in
diligently aware of actualities; he
did not think it necessary to re-
mind them that the cost may be
very heavy and certainly will not
be light. He simply expressed the
confidence which he himself feels,
and he is much better quipped than
most to judge. This Is the kind OF
statement which makes sense. 1t is
at the opposite pole from the out
givings at Washington, in which
high official administers anony-
nous gloom one day, only to have
Mr.. Wallace come back with a dose
of optimism a few days later. 1t is
not propaganda. 1t Is an estimate of
the future from man who knows
the facts.
History may or may not disprove
1t. The American people, who are
not children, are aware of that. But
they will take care of history. With
more statements of this kind and
fewer of the other kind they will
know how to fight their war on
their own account to the end.

Some people may think he Is

President about every speech he

lace disagreed. He did not send
the speech to the State Depart
ment.
Wallace has mo illusions about
how old-line Democrats feel
toward him, especially In the
South. He knows that nomin-
alton on the Democratic ticket
won't be worth much IL the
President doesn't run. And
friends say he has some doubts
that the President will rum.
However, Wallace thinks that
someone ought to get out Of
Washington, keep in touch with
the country, and discuss ideas
with them. So he is doing just
that, whether FDR likes it or not.
