Babe To Help The Kids
With Sports Foundation

Lowepstein, speaking for the
Babe who was preparing to leave
for Florida tomorrow and was un-
able to be present, would not di-
vulge the amount of money that
has been contributed but he point
ed out that such a program would
require a Substantial amount OF
cash..
The foundation, originally men
toned by Ruth himself during the
Babe Roth Day ceremonies April
u at the Yankee Stadium, will
have the backing of baseball. 1t
is possible that the Babe Ruth
Day may be an annual event with
a percentage of the proceeds re-
verting to the fund.
Although the foundation has not
restricted itself to baseball, that
sport, naturally always has been
foremost in Ruth's mind. To him,
1.-THE Kids" always have meant
more than home run feats in a
dusty record book. Now his name
has been perpetuated among his
favorite people.

About 1926 carpenters and laborers
put up the framework and finished
most of the exterior in 10 hours.
The work was done without pay.
The building materials were bought
with contributions from sympathetic
residents, and the lot was donated.

Experts said the depth to which
it may submerge Seems to be linn
tied only to the length of the neck
of the driver, whose head must stick
out of the water"
Hitting the water at IS miles an
hour, in a demonstration for news

20 feet into the air and slowed to a
walk. Then, using four wheel pow
er, it churned on and the wheels
submerged. Finally even the wind
shield disappeared. 1t rode the
waves like a duck. The demonstra-
ton lasted more than an hour.
The Turtle is an ordinary jeep
equipped with a submarine" kit
that costs about 81, 1000. .

u. S. Documents
To Tour Nation
Exhibit Is Planned as Wide
Drive Against Alien
! biologists.

Observation-Disclosures Gener-
al Clark announced that a priceless
collection of original American docu-
ments will be taken in a swing across
the country early in the new year
on a special train in a nation
wide drive against alien biologists.
Liberty on Wheels" an exhibit
ton of such landmarks in American
history as the official copy of the
Bill of Rights, will tour the 48 states
in a specially constructed fireproof
train.
The purpose, Clark said, is to
"reaffirm in the minds and hearts
of the American people an under
standing and appreciation of the
basic principles of our government
and in this way to combat alien
ideologies."
History Landmarks.
The attorney general said the ex-
hibition twill give millions of Amer
leans an opportunity to view such
monumental landmarks in our his
tory as the Bill of Rights, the Eman-
cipation Proclamation, the original
of the Gettysburg Address, and the
notes in his own handwriting of Pa
trick Henry's immortal speech in
which he said, Give me liberty or
give me DEATH"
. Other documents include notes of
proceedings leading to the Declara-
ton of independence in Thomas JEFF
ferson's handwriting, and James
Madison's manuscript notes of de-
bates in the federal convention dis
cussing the need for a Bill of Rights.
Clark said the train will visit all
large cities and many small ones in
"the longest tour in the history of
American railroading, lasting prob
ably a full year"
Newspapers to Help.
Newspapers will sponsor commu-
nifty programs emphasizing the
basic principles of the American
form of government. Radio stations
and the national networks will
dramatic these principles in a Sc
ries of programs. Motion picture
companies will turn out a group of
short films along the same line.
After a meeting of Clark and lead
ers of the three fields a committee
named to handle the press-ra-
dio-movie phase of the program. It
was headed by Col. T. A.. McIn-
erny, personal assistant to Clark and
director Of public information for
the justice department.
Clark said the project is Officially
sponsored by the federal govern
ment" and added:
1--WE hope it will be just a spring
board for a national and local cru
SADIE to reemphasize the concept of
American democracy. It is our hope
that every governor and every may
Or in the nation will sponsor activi-
lies in his state and city which will
get the maximum number of Amer
cans to become conscious of the
deals of their country"
McInerny said the cost of the ex-
libition trip will be borne by in
crested private individuals and pa
riotic organizations, but declined to
'eveal their names. .
