THE COMMUNISTS UNDER HEARSTS BED

That old guardian of morals and free enterprise
William Randolph Hearst, had better stop shopping
other peoples beds looking for pesky Communists
and pay attention to what is going under his
bed.
For if we accept Mr. Hearsts definition of Com
munist who refuses to believe in republican
dogma, then his financial editor qualities On the
top of the front of Hearsts newspapers last Sun
day embazoned this slogan:
"vote Against New Deal communism-vote Repub-
can-Vote American"
On the financial page of the issue the lead
article is written by Robert P vanderpoe the Hearst
financial editor Mr. Vanderpoel wrote this about the
fruits of the last of republican rule in this country
"An acquaintance with short memory remarked
last evening that conditions in this country today
than they in 1882. In effort to clarity
the picture took paper and pencil and lined up
few comparisons. Some of readers might be in
terested in these:
1932-Unempoyment in the United States ranged
between 100000 and 100000 persons"
fe46-"No Unemployment in the true of the
word"
Certainly, this must be a Communist
1e32-"The value of stocks listed the N. " ex-
change down to low of S15,633, 100000"
1e46-"The value of stocks after the sharpest
decline in many years totals $66863 100000"
Any who would point this out the of
election must be agent of the Kremlin
1932-"Business failures reached an aIItme high of
1892"
1e46-"Busness failures are the fewest in history
except last year."
If this isn't carrying card he is cheating the
Communists out of dues.
1o33-"Bank failures reached an a-time peak of
$780, with deposit liabilities of s6,S5s, 100000"
1946-"For the first time in the history of the
country bank failures almost unknown
Mr. vanderpoe will learn that subversive facts like
these should be forgotten.

Fortune Survey "Lets Cat Out of Bag"

Confirming what labor unions have been contending
for monhsa survey by Fortune magazine reveals that
than little of the goods scarcity can be laid d
rectly the door of ndustrythat big business

Indications on the economic front are that this is

Farm lands today at the peak price in all history

goods field. However, in view of economic
factors this peak at should last few
months longer
For thing, instament buying during the past IL
months has reached unprecedented proportions and
before the recent lifting of controls mebuying was
already double the prewar high This means that pur-
chasing power for future months has pretty substan

in increasing quantities.
Closely related is the pyramidng supply of durable
goods piling up in warehouses estimated excess
of S32 billions and increasing at the rate approx

Mount Pleasant Usinq
An AN-Star 0utfieId

When a pair of Brooklyn Dodger
scouts recently offered contract to
Scotty Silvers, Mount Pleasant out
fielder, it was tip-off that the
Mounties, will field a powerhouse
crew of gardeners in the All-Ameri-
can limited division tournament
that starts Monday on the Ellipse.
According to Coach Jim Farley.
the lanky Anacostia star is the best
player on the squad, which includes
three all-high choices. Silvers is a
young Ty Cobb on the bases, has a
deadly accurate right wing and
switches to the port side to bat BAT
as leadof man.
The rest of the strong outfield in
cludes Pat O'Neill, southpaw who
is batting .402 and plays every posi-
ton but umpire, Jim Colliton, a .275
hitter, and Pete (Rudy) Lerario, a
Central star with hot wing. O'Neill
and Colliton alternate in right field.

possible sport with the small
mouth bass this week end. It is
quite a jaunt to these upstream
waters, however, and we urge any
one contemplating the trip to make
sure of conditions before making
the journey. Two other possible
bass fishing areas this week end
are Lake Jackson near Manassas
Va, and the Triadelphia Reservoir
in nearby Maryland.
In salt water, hardhead and spot
continue to be the chief attractions
and are taking the bats of anglers
all over the Chesapeake Bay and in
the lower Potomac and Patuxent
Rivers. Cumming for rockfish in
the Eastern Bay area continues
popular with some good catches of
medium sized fish reported. The
same holds true off Solomons. The
Gooses have been a hit or miss
proposition Of late, though, even at
night.
Tremendous catches of hardhead
and spot have been made recently
on the Potomac near Blackstone
Island, along with some small trout
and pan rockfish.
With the fishing fair on, boats will
be at a premium, except those suit
able for rowing or small outboard
motors. Latest reports from Solo
mons are that trout really are from !
to pounds in and surfacing by the
acre.

Country Club today.
Louise Suggs, this years Western
Open champ, and Mrs. Mildred

nents could not be regarded lightly.

Edwards Beginning
10 Take Firm Hand
AS Redskin Coach
BY Lewis f. Atchison
Star sfoH Correspondent

Los ANGELES, Aug. 16.-Turk
Edwards the big, easy-going guy
whom some fans thought might be
too soft to coach the hardened,
wizened Redskins, cracked bull
whip over some of his prize backs
today, jarring them out of lethargy
that might be expected to follow the
hum drum of routine training.
But if the boys had an idea OF
being privileged characters Edwards
shook 'em loose from it with brief
but forceful dissertation on the evils
OF idling. He wasn't nasty about 1t
but his words had dead seriousness
that carried lot of meaning.
Not long after Clark Shaughnessy
interrupted his explanation OF play
to baWl out Jack Jacobs and Frank
Atkins for not paying attention. Stin
later in the day both coaches cracked
down on Sam Baugh and q half
dozen other players who weren't
taking instructions too seriously.
Tomorrow, possibly today. the
linemen will put on their heavy pads
for the first contact work of the
season, but otherwise the same
warmup punt. pass and signal
routine will be followed.
In the windup yesterday Ed
wards had Ted Lapka and Stan
McRae, ends; Ollie Ola and Bill
Young, tackles; Leo Presley and
John Steber, guards, and Ki
Aldrich, center, running in one
combination and in another, same
positions, he placed Johnny Ko-
watch and Jim PEBBLES, Johnny
Adams and Johnny Konisczewski,
John Jaffurs and Bill Ward, and
Al de Mae, center.
The third line had Ed Cifers and |
John Lookabaugh at ends, George
Watts and Don Avery, tackles; Reid
Lennon and Glenn Stralka, guards,
and Clyde Erhardt, center. The
combinations don't mean anything |
in particular but they'll assume
some significance next week when
the Tribe starts the real grind.
Fullbacks Jack Jenkins and Sal
Rosato went on the casualty list
today but neither's ailment was re-
gardeda as serious. jenkins developed |
an infection in his left ear and
Rosato complained of violent t
headache. The latter's blood pres
sure was above normal earlier in
the week but recheck found it
okay and Doc Bohm believes he
had an overdose Of sunshine.
