the Communist effort to take
over. Again, the retarding of pro-
duction tempts or intimidates the
French government into using
the scant reserves it has, and
thereby hastens the crisis which
the government wishes to avert,
and the Communists hope for.
Subtly the Communists count
on an effect in America. They
assume Americans will say,
why should we help a people
who do not help themselves as
much as they might. who be-
cause of strikes and in other
ways do not produce the goods
they need and for which they
turn to us? This calculation of
the Communists has to some ex-
tent been borne out in America;
some of our people say what the
Communists wish them to say.
But Americans who take this po-
sition are falling into a confu-
sion of words. They do not dis
tinguish between the French
people as a whole and the Com
munists in France, who promote
what Americans complain of.
Depreciate American Aid
AS another subtlety, the Com
munists, having achieved a con
dition in some areas of Ameri-
can thought, make use of it in
France. They tell the French
people that America is not likely
to help or that American help,
if it comes, will be too little to
be effective.
The Communist subtlety
is infinite. Wishing to prevent
help from America, they prac-
tice a strategy designed to make
our people think our help is al
ready too late and therefore use
less to give. In Italy they are IN
tensifying their Interruptions of
production by strikes and their
demonstrations against the gov
eminent hoping to make
America think that collapse of
Italy and fall of the government
is imminent.
AS for us, our immediate in
terest is speed in giving kelp.

Wife Drops Strongest
Clue to Future After
ToIk With Hickey
By Joe ReiehIer
Assoeiotsd Press Sports Wr.fss

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Leo Du-
rocher flew back to California to-
day, leaving behind the impression
that he was in the good graces of
his boss, Branch Hickey. and that
his chances of regaining his old job
as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers
were better than fair.
Boarding a plane at La Guardia
Field for Los Angeles last night,
Durocher, whose season-long sus-
pension ended with the last putout
of the World Series, was his old
wise-cracking, loquacious self. Jovial
and smiling as he and Laraine Day,
his film actress wife, waited for the
takeon, Durocher revealed that he
had three and one-half hour con-
ference with the Dodger president
and was very happy with the re-
suit"
obviously, I can't tell you what
went on, and any statement will
have to come from Mr.. Hickey"
Durocher told reporters who came
to see him of. He admitted that
the job situation was discussed.
Wife Gives Strong Clue.
The strongest clue that Leo al
ready may have been re-hired or
will be soon came from Miss Day,
who jokingly told one OF the re-
porters that she was considering
purchasing book on How to Speak
Spanish in Ten Easy Lessons" The
Dodgers are considering an offer to
train in the Dominican republic.
Durocher plainly was in high
spirits over his talk with Hickey.
Mr.. Hickey and I had a very friend
ly discussion" said Leo, revealing
that Hickey had summoned him for
a pm. appointment which lasted
until $3.50 pm. "He spoke to me
like father to a son. 1t was an
amicable, pleasant talk all around" !"
Leo said he had no further ap-
pointment with Hickey, but that one
might be forthcoming soon. II
wouldn't be surprised If I came back
at minutes notice." he said.
I'm making no bone about It,"
he added, II want very much to
manage the Dodgers next year. In
fact, I repeat an earlier statement,
I want to be with the Dodgers until
the day I die. But that is up to Mr.
hickey. The entire matter now is
in his hands"
Shotton Not 1T Farley.
Hickey could not be reached for
comment The only news forthcom-
ing from the Dodger oficial family
was terse announcement from q
club spokesman earlier that Durocher
had paid a call on Hickey.
Burt Shotton, who did an excel
lent job filling in for Durocher as
Dodger pilot, did not attend the
conference, having left for his Flor
ida home. The 63-year-old veteran
manager who came within one VIC
tory of steering the Dodgers to
their first world championship, has
not committed himself as to wheth-
er> he would like to lead the Dodgers
again next year. However, he once
remarked that he did not wish to
jeopardize Durocher,s chances Of re-
turning.
Shotton was an emergency re-
placement for Durocher when Leo
was suspended by Commissioner A.
B. Chandler on the eve of the 1947
major league season for conduct
unbecoming a major league man.
