and then the Republicans really
started Z come back In - which
was MI. Tafts 1irst year. Hence
they lack i collection OF elder Sen
ate statesmen comparable to the
Southern group on hand when Mr..
Roosevelt took Office.
The House leadership, Of course,
faces similar problems. But the
awarding OF top prizes among the
much larger House membership Is
not 20 jealous q matter, as few car
necessarily be chosen among the
many called. II still appears, how
ever, that the most bitter fight Of oil

With the 40 field wide open, such

The nalcontents hope to have
New England and Western liberal

down the big three. Most Of this

Few Have Seniority.
The Roosevelt tenure was 30 long

with flames leaping and dancing
all he has to do Is rear back and

Tosses Fast Curve.
With the winter season just ,ln-
derway, I started pitching too
brskly. Why, by the time We
started our second hre, I was at
tempting curves from the far cor
ners Of the room. and bearing down
on q hard, fast one from the sofa.
1t was when was trying to cut the
far corners Of the logs with the
light and gas bill that I felt the
first twinge Of pain in my throwing
arm. I should have had enough
sense to quit right there and 80 to
the showers and then take heat
treatment. But, no, was just ike
the rookie ball players who want to
cut loose with everything the first
day they hit spring training camp.
Ignoring the advice Of my man
ager, I tried out my knuckle bail
with = wadded bunch Of anonymous
fan letters. 1t was high and wide.
I tried again, this time with q ball
made Of my monthly bill from the
Ocean Dunes Club. It was low and
outside. My arm was really hurting
now, and the hearth was Uttered
with paper, but I was determined to
get across . strike. I switched to
my fast ball, and finally made 1t
with q letter from Toots Shor ask
ing me to please come and get the
suitcase left In his checkroom the
last time I was In New York. It
cut the heart Of the fireplace, fiame-
high.
Arms Get Rusty.
No one who. lives In Florida or
California, or any Of the other
States, where the winter climate is
comparatively mild, and fires In the
fireplace are needed only OCCASION
ally, will ever be . real big league
fireplace pitcher. We don't get
enough workouts. The fire goes two
or three days, then we get warm
spell, and our arms get rusty.
It burns me up to see the skill
some of our guests from the North
have developed by midwinter. We
had guest from Chicago last vim
ter, Tom Echillo, and he was regu-
lar "Cat" Brecheen. He could hit
the fireplace from halfway up the
stairway without even winding up.
And one time I saw him throw q
curve from the dining room-he was
using an old set Of Navy orders
that was right in the fireplace's mitt,
Just as If the fireplace had called
for the pitch.
Right this minute I am sitting
here In front Of . fine fire, sur
rounded by enough old letters, pa
pers and bills to pitch . nine-inning
game. But, because Of my sore arm,
I have got to get up and walk clear
across the room to wastebasket.

You Can't Fool Ernie.
Recently he went to Hollywood
You may recall his earlier expedi-
ton to those sinister precincts, the
time he turned up Shirley Temple
as an enemy agent bent on the de-
struction Of our great and powerful
country. That was some years ago
when Shirley was only knee-high
to q grasshopper and 1t was dincult
to convince anybody that she was
q black Whiskered william at heart.
But you can't fool Ernie. He knew
there was something wrong among
the movie makers and he bided his
time. Now he Is closing In for the
kill.
His committee, he announces, will
open hearings in January and will
call Is or 20 witnesses, many Of
them outstanding members OF the
picture profession. Heading the list
will be Charlie Chaplin. That
doesn't mean that Charlie will have
the comedy lead. Ernie has reserved
that for himself.
I'VE want" he says, "to hear
more about reports that motion pic
ture money Is financing q third
party, tentatively named the 'Peo-
pies Front which has an eye on
running Henry Wallace for Presi-
dent"
Now you may wonder what there
Is un-American in that. To your
simple mind 1t may seem perfectly
constitutional and American to Or
ganize . third party and call 1t the
Peoples Front or, for that matter,
the Peoples Rear. Foolish, you
might say, but scarcely subversive.
And you might think anybody
was within his rights, If not In his
right mind, II he undertook to run
Henry Wallace for President despite
Henry's frequent assertion that he
wouldn't take q third-party nomina-
tion on . pewter platter. There's
not q word in the Constitution
against Henry running or being run
for President. The Constitution, in
fact, does not mention his name;
an oversight, perhaps, but the
founding fathers couldn't think of
everything. So. the way 1t stands,
any American boy may grow up to
be President. That's what you think.
But Ernie has different ideas and,
after all, he's the chief counsel of
the Un-American Committee, and
you are not.
Ernie reads between the lines. He
can read, through q keyhole, be-
tween the lines of a document that
doesn't exist. Reading between the
lines of the Constitution therefore
gives him no trouble whatever. Re-
member those letters he wrote to
various citizens telling them they
had better stop referring to the
American system Of government as
democracy. That kind Of talk he
admonished, was both un-American
and unconstitutional This Is not
