DAVIS HORSEHIDE
UNIT UNCERTAIN
BY s-SGT. SID GRAY

The Camp Davis practice ses-
Sims have advanced another base
hall week toward the April % open-
mo with the Cherry Point Marines
but truth to relate coach Major
Henry Johnson is no closer to de-
+ermining a probably starting line
I'D than he was seven days ago.
What with inclement weather and
the uncertainties surrounding the
m0re important military chores of
prospective candidates the prob
lem of discovering who's who in
the Blue Brigade scheme of things
remains intact.
Only last Saturday did the AA
diamond asp:rants emerge for
their first outdoor pitching and
batting drill on the windswept Ma
pe Hill field. The moundsmen,
five in number, took turns throw
ing EN- to the stickmen. With
three weeks of indoor limbering
up behind them the twirlers enjoy
ed a pronounced advantage. And
yet a few bat-wielders managed
to drive the offerings to the dis
tant pastures under the watchful
upervist on of Major Johnson.
Before the two-four maneuve-s
had been concluded one pleasing
item had made itself manifest.
And that was the goodly mixture
Of left-handers taking cut at the
horsehide and getting a good piece
Of it on more than one occasion.
All of which is a strong indication
that the ultimate AA batting order
will have variety. if nothing else.
OF the 20 or so that composed
the batting array for the after
noon and the subsequent weekday
trials some proved a bit more
adept with the hickory. These in

Wildcats Engage Rocky
Mount Nine Here Today

Having broken up the bettors
good times by upSetting heavily
favored Durham club Friday, the
New Hanover High Wildcats meet
a strong Rocky Mount nine this
afternoon at 3:45 on the 18th and
Ann streets field.
The Cats, who looked rather i'm
pressive in their 1917 win over
the Durhamites, will enter today's
encounter as the underdogs. The
Blackbirds boast victories over
Durham, Raleigh and Goldsboro
and have in their lineup probably
one of the states best schoolboy
pitchers. This hurler, Lanky Joe
ACE" Fountain, is long and
strong armed bean pole who usual
ly manages to send in the neigh
borhood of Is men back to the
bench via the strikeout route dur.
ing a single game. In his last slab

jolting Joe breezed mis- fast ball
by IA batsmen for a third strike.
The local lineup is somewhat
uncertain, with great deal Of the
confusion centering around the in.
jured Whitley Aud. Aud, who
has been handling the third base
duties for the Cats, did not play in
the Durham contest because of a
torn leg ligament sustained in the
Goldsbroo game. 1t is not certain
whether he will be ready for ac-
ton in today's tilt. Adding furth-
Err to the mixup is the fact that
Hanoverian boss Shuny Britain
has been experimenting with Auld
on the mound and may decide to
send him to the hill against the
Birds this afternoon.
! Football Smith, slender lefthand-
err who received credit for the
Durham win, is another likely
choice for the twirling assignment.
The remainder of the Cats lineup
will be the same with Mike
Michaelis manning the hot corner
in the event that Auld does not gel
the nod.

Is lftE hOOSeNtlt duihliiis'io

retain control OF the govern
ment. prepared to censor the
campaign speeches of Gov.
Dewey and Gov. Bricker?
Would the administration be

publican nominee for president
in the middle of a sentence, II
he should undertake TO tell the
American people over the air
waves of certain things calcu-
lated 10 be damaging to the
political party in power In
Washington?
This has become an imme-
date issue at the very outset oil
the campaign. That issue is now
of immense concern TO Repub-
lican leaders here.
The presidential campaign OF
1914, because of wartime con-
dltions. will witness greater use
than ever before of the radio.
IF THE public speeches OF Re-
Il publican candidates for public
office can be subjected TO the
arbitrary censorship OF federal
agencies controlled by the
Roosevelt administration, the
opportunity to present the OPP
position case 10 the people VIII
be greatly restricted, If indeed
not denied entirely.
The application Of this ques.
ton, involving the constitutional
guarantee of freedom of speech
and of the presS-including the
radio-to the presidential cam
paign. in which presumably the
President will be candidate Tor
a fourth term, is clear.
Already Station WMCA in
New York has deleted portions
of a speech referring TO COM
munism and the Roosevelt adj
ministration, delivered by Fred
erick r. Coudert. a New York
State senator and candidate
for the Republican nomination
for u. S. senator.
If a campaign speech by a
candidate for the United States
Senate may be censored, BE-
cause of reference in II TO COM
munism. why may not a speech
BY candidates for president and
vice president be censored?
What Republican leaders in
Washington are asking is where
the Roosevelt administration
proposes to draw the line.
THE powerful influence long
Il exerted in the government
service in Washington by Com
munists and Communist sym
pathiZerS is one of the major
issues of this campaign.
1t has become particularly
important because Mr.. Roose-
welt already is the fourth-term
nominee of the Communists.
That Communist nomination he
has already accepted. in accord
ance with the well-known pro-
verb, Silence gives consent"
All that the so-called Demo-
cratic convention which will
meet in Chicago on July 10 will
have to do will be to RATIFY
THE COMMUNIST NOMINA-
TON already made.
The political alliance between
the New Deal and the Commu-
nists thus becomes OF para
mount important TO the Amer
lean people in making their
decision as 10 Mr.. RooSevelt's
further continuance in office.
The Coudert case raises the
question. at the very outset of
the campaign. as 10 whether or
not this Communist alliance may
be discussed over the radio by
Republican speakers.
Congress will make an effort
when il returns from its recess
10 fix the responsibility for this
outrageous abuse of the war;

Detroit Times tomorrow
MR.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,
McCLOUD, CALF.
Dear Mr.. Hearst
YOU ask through the Hearst newspapers my
l. opinion of the cooperative system of education.
Answer: Extra good Incidentally, your in
quiry has an encouraging sound to it.
BY way of further answer, let me say, in
general, that any system or plan of education is
good if the teaching is good.
This MEANS of course that the teacher knows
his subject
But even more important it seems that he
cares profoundly in his heart for his students
He wakens them by his personality.
He helps them to create by their own work
some outward expression OF their inner spirit
UNDER SUCH TEACHING THE CO.
OPERATIVE PLAN is VERY EXTRA GOOD.
The University of Pittsburgh was the second
university in the United States to adopt the CO.
operative system between engineering and
industry.
AT ONCE 1T BECAME OBVIOUS THAT
THE PLAN is FULL OF MERIT.
1t has such value, however, only If the teach
ing is good both on the part of the faculty and on
the part of the president of the corporation con-
cerned and of the superintendent, the foremen
and the WOfklnen VINO come lIlCO COHtdCI WIFI Vic
students.
In other words the plan is good only if every
body in it tries to make it good by living at his
top best.
THE war is stirring this nation to know that any
plan which can be honestly counted as good IN
industry or business or religion or government or
education is also good for all.
Such a conviction makes for the cooperative
system" in every phase of our national HE :,
1t leaves no room for sefishness or i'll will
1t is the underlying basis which this coun-
try ,Uas founded that that each OF US Is to haze
chance.
We are now more aware that that chance
means that we think in cooperation, hard and
long, about everyday, practical affairs, such as,
for example, maybe in a steel mill, and that we
think even harder and longer, also about how TO
perfect the unseen, inner forces of life.
An American chance that means lot OF hard
work and it means the growing within ourselves
of all the COURAGE, FAIRNESS, KINDNESS
and nobility Of which we are capable.
CERTAINLY the cooperative system should be
~ continued.
1t should be continued and developed Oith
industry and also With churches, schools, neUs
papers, hospitals, courts, city and state and
national government and especially Nth the
vorious nationality groups.
LIFE GETS UGLY WHEN WE FAIL IN
THE BASIC INTENT OF THE COOPERATIVE
SYSTEM

Il pensability is disputed and re-
futed, however, by the most respon-
sible and respected leaders of the
Democratic party.
At the beginning of his New Deal
administration, the responsible and
respected leaders of the Democratic
party assumed he intended to con-
duct a Democratic AMERICAN ad-
ministration, and accepted important
offices under it in accordance with
that assumption.
With singular and significant una
nimity, they found it was FALSE
assumption.
Consequently, the parade of re-
sponsible and respected leaders of
the Democratic party OUT of his
administration has been continuous,
until today the New Deal administra-
ton embraces a motley array of syco.
plants with no previous experience
in government and no subsequent
proof of capacity for or faith in
Democratic government.
The myth of Mr.. Roosevelt's as
serted indispensability is also dis
puted and refuted by the American
people as a whole.
The people of the 26 most populous
and productive and important states
have elected, and have consistently
sustained, Republican state govern
ments.
THE people have deprived the
l. Democratic party of a majority
in the House of Representatives.
The people have sharply reduced
the majority of the Democratic party
in the United States Senate.
The additionally Democratic
southern states are III open revolt
against the New Deal and several of
them have served notice that their
electors will REPUDIATE Mr..
Roosevelt If he is nominated.
These are not evidences of public
demand or command for the nomina-
ton and election of Mr.. Roosevelt,
but conclusive evidences of an ex-
actly opposite public opinion and
desire.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not a reluctant
candidate, bowling to the will of the
people; but the willing and ambitious
and arrogant candidate of the bu-
reaucratic army into which his orig
nal New Deal administration quickly
deteriorated.
