Lowell MeHett:

The busy fire brigade of the
Democratic party, chasing all
over the place in its efforts to
snuff out the prairie fire famed
by the breath and flying coat
tails Of Estes Kefauver, may dis
cover any minute that it has
two new conflagrations on its
hands.
One is the long smoldering
candidacy of Alben Barkley.
Close observers say it is threat
ening to burst into flames. If
that happens. say these OBJ
servers, long time friends Of the
Vice President, it will not be
easy to extinguish. It may not
seem to be a big blaze, they
say, but like the fires that some
times spread beneath the ground
in the coal fields it will be diff
cult to deal with once it gets GO
ing. What they mean is that Mr..
Barkley, if he admits he is will
ing and puts himself in the pos
ture OF an active compromise
candidate. can make it hard
for the coming convention to
deny him the nomination. They
base this on reports they get
from party organization men all
over the country.
These party regulars baffled
by the Kefauver phenomenon on
the one hand and by the nom
cooperation Of Adlai Stevenson,
on the other, are beginning
seriously to ask, Whats the
matter with Barkley?" To stop
Senator Kefauver they have to
have q candidate they can rally
around and so they are saying
why not take the man that
everybody likes. Age is the only
argument offered against him,
they say, and they are Begin
ming to subscribe to Barkley'S
own theory that q man is only
as old as he feels. Which in his
case isn't q bit old.

tegration Of the two German
rumps into one country under
the auspices Of the Western
Allies would seriously interfere
with their aims for world dom
ination. II this can be pre-
vented and Germany could be
induced to become an associate
of the U. S. S. r., the Musco-
vites can be sure Of fulfilling
their imperialist plans.
There is complete freedom of
thought and speech in Western
Germany today. The Allied
policy in the last three years has
been to permit genuine demo-
cratic development Of the Bonn
regime. Because Of the wide
latitude given the various polit-
ical parties there is today q
vocal opposition to the condi-
tions offered by the Allies. Tho
Muscovites hope to be able to
exploit this democratic advan-
tage.
The Russian leaders fully ex-
pect that the peace contract will
be approved by the Bundestag.
But they aim at sabotaging the
creation Of a German army. In
the note sent by the Kremlin to
the Allies on March 10 the So
Wet government proposed that
there shall be no limit either on
the number Of troops Germany
shall have in the future or on
the quantity and type of war
materials to be produced by
German industries. But the
Kremlin insisted that Germany
shall remain neutral. This
proposal has found many fol-
lowers in Western Germany and
Moscow hopes that German
political men supported by WE'LL
propagandized masses will be
able to stop the integration Of
the potential manpower and in
dustrial power of Western Ger
many into the NATO. Unless
they are successful in this
maneuver all the present sue
cesses Of the Muscovites in the
Far and Middle East will be Of
little avail.

Oceans Astounding Life
Is Subject Of Research

Plankton-multiple billions Of tiny
plants and animals floating. swim.
ming and pulsing through the seas
forms veritable pastures upon which
all animal life in the oceans de-
ponds eventually for sustenance.
While some species OF plankton
are easily seen by the naked eye,
many others are microscopic in
size. A bathtub Of gulf stream water
might well hold a million planktonio
creatures-with plenty OF room fol
more.
Whales consume plankton in the
raw. taking vast quantities into their
throats through specially adapted
Strainers. So do oysters. Big fish
feed upon small fish which in turn
have fed upon plankton.
Plankton is basic. It plays so vital
a part in the earth's food supply
that the National Geographic Soci.
ETY. is co-sponsoring for a second
year broad research program with
the University Of Miami TO study
these important but little-known
organisms.
The Society and scientists Of the
University's Marine Laboratory
have completed a year Of observa.
ton during which the projects re.
search ship "Megalopa" regularly
took up stations off the coast Of
Florida 10 bring out sample geininPs
of planktoa from various depths.
During each seining systematic OBJ.
servatiOns we're made Of water and

Under the direction Of DR.. F. @.
Walton Smith, director OF the Ma
rine Laboratory, and DR.. Hilary b.
Moore, top-ranking oceanOgrapher
on the Laboratory's staff, the scien-
lists are preparing life histories Of
the principal species among both the
plant and animal types Of plankton.

Baseball May Not Be SamsI
But the Ball Is Better

Old timers can grippe that baseball
today amt what Il used to be. but
they can't have any complaints
about the ball itself.
Back In the l860s, some base
ballB were so dead they couldn't be
hit out Of the infield. Others scared
like an eagle and could turn an at
tempted bunt into a two base hit.
Not only that-they came apart.
Sideways magazine tells the legend
that once In the old days all three
outfielderS were called in to make
one putout. One caught the cover.
the second wound up with the yarn
while It was stil in mid-air. and
the third caught the melted rubber
core.
The Sideways article tells how
A. G. Spalding-a pitcher himself
started putting out the first modern
baSeballS back in 1876. They had q
hard rubber core to give them
bounce. they were wound tightly to
keep them from being too lively.
and the whole thing had a sturdy.
strongly stitched cover The Ma.
tional League-new in those days
adopted them right away.
Today the American League also
uses Spalding basebaus. made un,

They're too good for it now"

Handy said the blues are

the negroes have a genius for ex-

Although for years he has been
a member of the National Associ-

Rough Year For Majors?

Miami Fla. - Major League
baseball could be heading for a
rough season, both financially and
in the caliber of play. Attendance
figure probably will drop be-
cause there appears to be no solu-
ton for the high cost of existing,
once called living.
When some of the fans get
through with their income tax
figures they will find it necessary
to cut down on thcir spending
this year.
New faces on many bail clubs
always create certain amount of
fan interest. However, it will be
a long wriIe before the American
League can fiEd players with the
drawing power of joe DiMaggio
and Ted Williams.
DiMaggio's retirement ard Viii
liams' impending recall by the
Marines will be felt especially in
the Yankee Stadium and Fenway
Park.
DiNIaggio's less leave thc
Yankees without a crowd-drawing
player for the first time in 60
years, or since Babe Ruth began
hitting home runs in the early
tWentics.
The Red Sox plight includes the
loss Of three players. Besides
Williams, Manager Lou Eoudreau
has retired Q player and Bobby
Doerr has called it quits.
The majors viii lose a number
of past and present pitching stars.
Don Newcombe of the Dodgers is
heading for the Army and his loss
could make the Dodger pitching a
bigger problem than ever.
Three other pitchers with
World Series background have
seen the last Of the majors. They
are Johnny Wander Nicer, who
pitched two no-hit games in sue
ccssion for Cincinnati in 1888;
Jack Kramer, who helped pitch
the Browns 10 their only pennant
in 1914, and Hank Borowy, who
pitched the Chicago Cubs to the
1945 flag after Larry MacPhail,
then with the Yankees, sold Hank
for S97,OC0. Wander Nicer, Kramer
