HOW HAPPY BECAME GEAR

l can remember the day several years ago when l was on my way over to the State Department to see Cordell Hull, then our Secretary of State.
 With me was my good friend Col. John Gottlieb. As We came up Constitution Avenue and passed the park behind the White House, I noticed a ball game in progress. It was just a few sandlotters, gov ernment workers, who were kicking the baseball around We stopped to watch. Man after man got up to bat and not one of them so much as hit the ball, yet everybody got on base. The pitcher wasn't very good All the time Col, Gottlieb kept nudging me, saying, You can't keep the Secretary of State wait ing"
 T know I can't" l replied, but one of these batterS ought to be able to hit a baseball. Let's just wait another couple of minutes" /" So we waited But 12 men batted, 10 men scored, none of them ever took the bat off their shoulders. Finally, Col. Gottlieb couldn't stand it any longer and dragged me away.
 When we got to Hull's office, l apologized, and told him a ball game held me up. He was under standing. He said he wished he had been able to see the game too That's how strong a hold baseball has on a nations capital.
 When Gottlieb saw what hot fan I was, he started a one-man campaign to make me Commis- sioner without my knowledge. dare say that had something to dc with my selection.

SENATE IS EXPENSIVE

guess I'm the only man in the U. $. Senate who is paying S40,00O a year for the privilege of serving there. My contract with the base ball people provides that l start collecting $50,000 year as soon as I leave the Senate. So far haven't taken a dime from baseball and l am still serving out my term. l was elected to serve in the Senate until 1949 by the people of Ken lucky. My contract with baseball gives me the right to make the de- cision when I leave the Senate. No one can find anything wrong with that. have been spending my vacation handling baseball business without pay.

a rabid rooter; but now that l am Commissioner, I've got to stand around and just watch the games; and I am not allowed to cheer my self because I am impartial. But I can think of nothing more de- lightful than getting paid to go to the ball games, so l think l will be very happy with my new job. I've got a lot of plans for baseball.

One look at Jean Cabin IS sut' fcient proof that he is back m the element he likes and under stands best, the type of realistic role which made him Frances Number One actor and ouCstand- ing dramatic star of the Contln- ent.
 As the title player in "The Impostor," which Cabins friend JulIen Duvivier, produced and directed for Universal, Cabin wears a soiled French Army uni form and a beard which is well over a week old. An overseas cap sits on the back of his head, and his prematurely grey hair hangs down in front
 "The Impostor" comes Satur- day and Sunday to the Lyric theatre.
 | Ills second American film pre- sents Cabin as a working man who has been convicted of killing a policeman in a strike, and is sentenced to be guillotined. He escapes during an air raid on the prison, changes identity by talk ing the papers and uniform of n dead French army sergeant, and makes his way to Africa. Cabins character is a bitter, disillusloned victim of society. Then he joins De Gaulle, and is regenerated through the intense 1 fighting spirit of the Free French. Through the patriotism and de- votion of group of soldiers he becomes natural leader, The cast includes Richard Whorf, Ellen Drew, Allyn Jos lyn, Peter Van Eyck, Ralph Morgan, Eddie Quillan and John Qualen.

islands and areas that we conquer
except those that We can turn
back to native peoples for their
own self-government.
The complications both in
Europe and Asia are, from now on,
principally with our Allies, not with
our enemies. There have been
two thoughts on this subject: ~
That we should at the beginning
have asked our Allies TO sign on
the dotted line with regard TO
boundaries. systems Of government
peoples rights, etc; ca That we
first win the war and then solve
outstanding problems. The lat
ter view prevailed except as some
irrepressiblo matters were dealt
with at quebec, Moscow, Teheran.
Yalta and other conferences. New
ertheless, the fact is that nothing
basic has been settled, and the end
of the war in Europe faces us with
the necessity of dealing with our
own Allies. whose views are not
identical with ours. We believe
that every people has a right to
selfgovernment. Our Allies be-
lieve in balance OF power. The
same difficulty will face us in Asia.
