Record holder Aims
To Lower Own Time
By Three Seconds u
BY EDWIN SHANKE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


STOCKHOLM, Mar. 24.-Arne
Anderson, Sweden's fleet-footed
teacher, who started running by
accident, is training to run the
4-minute mile.
Il should like to be the first to
do it," says the barrel-chested 81
year-old gunner, whose other ambi-
ton is to beat Gunder Haegg.
Though Anderson and Haegg are
great rivals, they also are great
friends. Anderson holds the world
mile record of 4:026. having shaved
2 full seconds off Gunder,s mark
last summer while Haegg was tour-
ing America.
1,50O Meters as Guide. 81
Easy smiling Anderson not only
has the phantom mile" figured out,
but he tells how he hopes to do it
with one-half second to spare, based
on the race in which he ran $500
meters and then carried on for
mile to crack Haegg's world mark.
His time for the quarter marks In
the $500 meters were 0:5s.1, 1893,
3:025 and 3:474 for 4402.6 at the
mile. He plans to lower these frac-
tions to 0:58, 1:59, 259 and 3:44 for
l 500 meters and then go 9 meters
farther to negotiate the English
mile in 3:59.5.
My training plans are quite
clear" says Anderson, who is abari-
doning customary cross country
running because he finds it saps too
much stamina for long competitive
outdoor season from April to Sep
Itember.
Snow Helps His Legs.
i've started my routine by run
ming as often as possible, sometimes
five days week. I run a bit, then
walk and then run again. When
possible, ski or walk through deep
snow. The housekeeping, pumping
motion through snow is magnificent
for strengthening leg muscles"
Unlike Haegg, who is a born run
ner, Anderson really had to work
hard to force himself to the present
standard. AS boy of IL he loved
the outdoors and engaged in all
sports, especially swimming, canoe
Ing and ice hockey, until he was I8.
He also dabbled in track.
Captured First Start.
One day in 1894, Arnes school
team needed some one to run l.5oo
meters. They turned to the versa
tile Anderson.
I'D never run before" he saws,
but I won the race in 4:41. The
next spring 1 started running seri-
ously and spent three summers at
Uddevalla, north of Gothenburg,

nerS. He helped me a lot.
Il ran 1900 meters in 4:04 while
IL military service and I got under
four minutes with 3:5S. In 1899 I
joined the Gothenburg Sports Club
and continued running steadily until
last August when I really hit my
stride, beating Haeggs 1,500-meter.

When Anderson runs. his, long
hair, combed straight back, flies out
to both sides of his head, reminding
one of dashing Ichabod Crane with
coattails f1uttering in the breeze.
At the beginning of the season.
Anderson runs on regular cinder
track for couple of weeks. Then
he takes to the woods about the

months, the forest is his training
ground and he runs in stadiums

come of the election for anyone
who will listen, seem to give
Roosevelt the edge over Dewey.
But even the most ardent Roose-
welt fans think Dewey might win
if he would do one thing, namely:
Pick his cabinet, make it the very
strongest cabinet possible, and
announce the names before the
election. In other words, they
don't thing the name Dewey can
take enough votes away from the
Democrats to win; but they do
think the name Dewey, plus a
four-star list of cabinet members
who have won the respect of the
nation, might do the trick.
There has been considerable
discussion here over the effect it
would have on the election if the
war with Germany ended before
November. This has been a fav-
orite subject ever since Prime
Minister Churchill made his ia
nous statement about the posi-
bility that the war might end
sooner than we have any right to
expect. But when you hear the
arguments presently by both sides
to show how peace in Europe
would shift votes, about the only
conclusion which can be drawn at
this time is that this happy event
might not shift them at all.
Of course the end of war IN Eu-
rope would take a lot of the wind
out of the New Deal argument
that you shouldn't change horses
in the middle of the stream. But
some analysts think the argument,
''He won the war; would be an
even more powerful one with the
voters. On the other hand, with
the President running for office
in the role of commander-in-ch chief
of the armed forces, the Republi-
cans point out that there would be
a lot less reason to elect him on
that basis if victory in Europe was
an actuality.
But since, there is little chance
that the japanese phase of the
war will end this year, the Presi-
dent will still hold powerful
card in asking the people to let
him finish the war job.

Washington, d. C.-The most
cuSsed, discussed, feared and
sought after group in the many
sided political fight that will be
with us until November, will un-
doubtedly be the new Political
Activities Committee of the CLIO
union. The power of this group,
which has become organized for
high-pressure politics during the
last year, was first brought to
public attention at the Democratic
national convention. At that con-
vention both Democrats and Re-
publicans were surprised over the
almost dictatorial power welded
over the delegates by Sidney Hill
man, the spokesman for the CLIO
group.
Both Mr.. Hillman and other
leaders of the CLIO have nation
wide reputation for their COM
munistic activities and commun-
istic beliefs. They are the most
left-wing division of the New
Deal, if they are considered a
part of the New Deal at all. But
their power at this time is un-
questioned "a power which grows
out of the fact that they seem to
have control over several million
labor votes and have a fund of
$3,OOO,OOO to spend on election ac-
tivities.
They are supporting the Demo-
cratic ticket presumably because
they consider it as ''the lesser of
two evils" They have also found
that the New Deal leaders seem
to respect the power of unions and
are willing to give sympathetic
audience to their pleadings.
There is no doubt that the CLOS
Political Activities committee will
influence goodly number of
votes this year, but it is also ap-
parent that any candidate who
gets under obligation to this or
ganization is in an extremely dan
gerous position. Whether Pres
ident Roosevelt will be able to
avoid such obligation and still &C.
cept the CLIO support is a matter
of considerable debate here.
