Senator Pepper seemed invulner-
able and after all, he had Joined
the anti-Truman cabal at Phila-
delphia. Besides, Representative
Smathers had arrived in Wash
ington under a liberal banner and
announcing he wanted to be the
Claude Pepper of the House.
Complacency Jolted.
But the slambang, anti-labor,
anti-Fair Deal campaign waged
by the young Congressman rudely
jolted the White House compla-
cency. Reports also trickled in
that the DuPonts, steelman Err
nest Weir and lesser Republicans
were helping him.
The party managers took notice.
It was one thing to see Senator
Pepper chastised a little for the
good Of his soul. It was quite an
other to see him beaten by that
kind Of a campaign. If Claude
Pepper now bites the dust, they
concluded, it will be many a long
day before the administration or
labor can induce any Southern
Senator to take any risks for
them.

If our present forces are
strengthened considerably it is
probable that the Eastern "Peo-
pies Army" will be held to mere

national feeling and the self-con-
fidence of the Germans under

the meager Allied detachments in

The new German army, strictly
controlled by the Russians, is COM
manded by Gen. Wilhelm Zeiser,
a former German regular army
officer who went to China after
World War I and later headed the
Stahlhelm, a patriotic German
officers association.
1t is believed that during his
stay in China, he came into con-
tact with and was converted to
militant communism. Anyway, his
name is found again in the files
of Western intelligence services

comes to the subject Of how their

During the past few weeks I
have had several opportunities to
watch John Bulls athletes and

every bit as determined to win
and equally as naughty when
things are going bad for them
as Americans. Canadians, Chill

A fine example Of this came a
while back at a meeting of the
international hockey teams of the
United States and Great Britain.

laid my eyes on one, with fists

CHICAGO, Ill. - Spectacular ad-
vances by the American Negro dur
ing the past 10 years from en-
ployment and income to health and
schooling - will be revealed in the

The Negro has gained rs million

bers now.
The most notable advance has been
in schooling with "a out of every 20

Sammy Jethroe came into the
sport pages this week with the
main question being = : will he
make the grade as was the pre-
tctlcn during the early part of
he training season Or will
he turn out to be a flop as a Ma
j3r League "rookie". He is one of
the fastest humans in the diamond
show we've seen him play
every position on the team v e
c the extent Of pitching a nd
catching . we've seen him plant
many home runs into the back
yards of the neighbors out on Kill
mel street and over the center
field wall. We've seen him
throw men out at the home plate
from his position in deep center
field but that was not in the
Major League competition where
mistakes are a severe penalty, es-
pecially withthe pennant contend
er such as the Boston Braves who
always have been a threat to the
rest of the league including the
Brooklyn Dodgers the currant
champions of the senior loop?
Taking into consideration the
so called pressure, that applies to
all "rookies" trying for a regular
berth in the "Big Show, and mis-
takes are sure to crop up despite
