Rev. JIM. Maxon Dies;
Episcopal Bishop
BY the Assoeioted Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 9.-The
Right Rev. James M. Maxon, 73,,
retired bishop of the Episcopal Dio-
Geese of Tennessee, died yesterday.
He had been under an oxygen
tent since Sunday night when he
suffered a severe heart attack.
He was elected chancellor of the
University of the South (sewanee
in 1912 but later retired. He also
was president of Margaret College
in Versailles, KY, from 1910 until
1877.
Bishop Maxon gained recognition
in National Episcopal circles in 1894
when he introduced to the national
convention the Forward Movement
of the Episcopal Church-which
urged a step UP" of the church's
spiritual life.
Funeral services will be held here
tomorrow for Bishop Maxon at 10
IN. at st. Mary's Cathedral, with
the Right Rev. Edmund P. Dand-
ridge Of Nashville, Bishop of Ten
nessee, and the Right Rev. Theodore
N. Barth of Memphis, bishop coad-
jutor, officiating.
Survivors include the widow, Mrs.
Blanche Morris Maxon; a son, John
Maxon of Washington, and a sister,
Mrs. r. w. Lee, Bay City, III.

to favor such plan, which not only
would provide the Western Euro
pean armies with much-needed
equipment, but also would tend to
standardize armament types be-
tween America and Western Europe.
For the time being Italy would
not get any part of this new ap-
preparation. She has not yet en-
tered the Western Europe alliance
and, besides. in recent months she
has received sufficient equipment
from our stockpiles in Germany and
Austria to meet the present needs
OF her military forces.
Precautions Essential.
The highly strained relationship
between East and West makes ele-
mentary precautionary measures es-
sential. The. western nations have
trained manpower at their disposal.
Compulsory military service in most
OF them guarantees a continuous
flow Of men into the ranks of the
army and also a well-trained re-
serve. But except for Great Britain
they are sadly lacking in heavy mill
tary equipment of all types-tanks,

artillery.

When I pick 'em, brother, they hit
that wire on top.
There is no telling how many
people today are living in hon IS
they built by backing my Derby
choices: no telling how many boys
and girls owe their college educa-
tions and starts in life because
their parents were wise enough to
wager on the horse said would win
at Churchill Downs.
Amused by Other Choices.
1t amuses me to see how many of
the turf forecasters are saying that
Calumet Farm will win the Derby
next Saturday. Just because War
rem Wright has Citation and Coal
town my colleagues are saying that
trainer Ben Jones has "lock"-a
mortal cinch. Nice horses, both of
them. Well bred, good table man
ners, kind to their relatives, and
pretty. I wouldn't mind having
either one of them as a saddle
horse, to use summer mornings
when I have to ride about the
plantation picking overripe banjos,
spraying bandana crops and urging
the field hands to hurry up and
harvest the cornbread.
But neither will win the Derby
Sure, I know that of their records
they look like standouts. They have
beaten everything in their sight, and
everything that a man standing on
a hill with the new Palomar tele-
scope can see. But they won't wind
up out front in Louisville. One must
remember that the best horse

My prediction of the winner
which you will get any second now
comes from San Francisco. r
never was a man to pick my win
ners on the grounds. I want to be
just as far away from the horses
involved as possible. A friendly
nod, a kindly neigh, and I might
well be influenced. So I am here
at Bay Meadows track, which is
a fair skip and jump from Louis
vile.
Before I name the Derby winner
I must tell you a story involving
Bill Kyne, president of Bay Mead

lieve, and dead true. ...

whatever why he would be a great
or even a good President-and he
himself has advanced the best Of
reasons why he would not.
The gap left by President Roose-
velt is great. For IL years he led
the Nation-often in very contra
dictory directions-but whether the
phrase was uttered in praise or
obloquy, every one knew there was
man in the White House.
The people became accustomed to
being led, to a popular leader speak
ing to them over the heads of Con-
gress, President who was to a
large extent his own cabinet, too.
Even the people who hated him
became accustomed to that particu-
lar type of leadership. Now people
say, "if he had lived, he would have
known how to get on with Stain"
or IF he had lived, he would have
been able to stop Stalin." That, in
itself, is commentary on the pecu-
liar form of Goth century politics
private politics, in essence-which
stakes the fate of nations on the
life of one man. ',.

That sort of leadership has am
other huge drawback: 1t fails to
provide for successor. The New
Deal turns out to have been no
consistent body of thought. 1t was
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Without
President -. Roosevelt, one-fortu-
nately tiny-segment of it has

This Changing World
Truman Expected to Ask Funds to Help

which are essential under the Euro
pean Recovery Program, is such that
only a small portion of industrial
production can be devoted to war
needs.
The general stats of the five
Western European countries are
even more seriously concerned over
Soviet blitz than we in the United
States. They are aware that Rus
sian war plans provide, on the
basis of the present weakness of the
western continental forces. for oc-
cupation of all Western Europe as
far as the English Channel within
80 days after military operations
begin.
For the present the five-nation
defense alliance has succeeded in
correlating resistance plans and in
organizing a unified command to
carry them out in the event of such
catastrophe. But in order to
resist the Red onslaught, the mil
lions OF fighting men available for
defense must have more than rifles,
machine guns and artillery. The
lack of heavy tanks, tank destroyers
and particularly planes of all types
Is keenly felt by the European gen.
eral stats, which are planning re-

Urged Loopholes.
Even before ERP was approved
by Congress, they urged Washington
to leave sufficient loopholes in the
ALLEGATION of billions for the first
year OF economic help to permit the
beneficiary nations to buy heavy
American weapons and planes.
Their hopes were frustrated.
President Truman is expected to
ask for several hundred million
dollars to enable the armies which
will stand the first brunt of Russian
aggression to defend themselves
better than when Hitler attacked
them.
Since Russian aggression against
the Western European nations would
be only the first move in a later
attack against America, our mill

On the Record
Taft Called Best G. O. P. Candidate
Despite Lack of Political Oomph

The Republicans have been out
OF power so long that they, too, seem
to have lost faith in themselves and
in their natural and proved lea aders.
Otherwise they would not hesitate
to nominate Senator Taft. He IS by
all odds their strongest character
finest intellect, and most expert
enced statesman.
He also is the only Republican of
any stature who has made trench
ant criticisms of the bipartisan
foreign policy without falling back
into the isolationism he once shared
with Mr.. Wallace, or into the Com
munist trap Of withdrawal every
where to permit unimpeded Soviet
advance. He has civil courage, in
Guiding the highest form of 1.-THE
courage to be unpopular. No man,
Republican or Democrat, has more
respect from Congress. Even his
enemies respect him-an asset in
this world at present.
Lacks Political Oomph.
What stands in his way Is only
that which We have come to expect
from statesmen: political oomph.
Senator Taft is utterly lacking In
any form of demagogy. In this
respect he is the despair Of his ad-
visers. He is so afraid of making
empty promises, so hostile to any
appeal to emotions, and so eXcru-
ciatingly committed to the appeal to
fact and reason that he is a poor
campaign revivalist. I know no
one who can more often say the
right things the wrong way-from
the viewpoint of winning the public.
But believe no candidate is more
certain to protect the constitutional
republic. None Is more profoundly
anti-imperialist; none is less likely
to blunder us into war and none
more certain to fight for limited and
reasonable objectives If war comes.
I find myself somewhat astonished
at my own conclusions, reached
after much thought. Perhaps others
will come, to the same conclusions
with equal astonisfmeht. The times
call for sobriety., - s ,>

manner IN which the President and
his palace guard actually run it.
Mr.. Sullivan, obliged to explain
to party workers such episodes as
the firing of CAB Chairman Lands
and the appointment of a Republi-
can banker to succeed Mariner
Eccles as Federal Reserve chair
man, did not always conceal his own
dissatisfaction. He was also frus-
trated by what he regarded as loaf
Ing on the part OF various party
leaders.
Nor were his sympathies with the
Palestine reversal and the increas-
ingly military aspect of international
planning. His feelings came to pub
llc attention in an informal speech
before the Nations editors April l6
when he was asked bluntly if it
were true that he favored the nomi-
nation OF Associate Justice Douglas
OF the Supreme Court in place of
the President.
Indiscretions Recalled.
He replied that there were two
Mr.. Sullivars-an employe of the
committee and a private citizen

pressed a desire to remain on the
court.

unions. They are counting on the
