The most valuable contribu-
ton Americans can make to
other countries is to make per-

themselves, Mrs. Bowden d.

declared yesterday.
Mrs. Ward, who is national
president of the American
Legion Auxiliary, has just re-
turned from a whirlwind 90
day goodwill tour around the
world.
People at the upper echelon
such as Presidents, Vice Presi-
dents, Senators and Congress-

she told a press conference.
Mrs. Ward said she thought

with warm applause.
Il don't think age is the
criteria," she said. Il do be-
lieve it would be well to en-
phasize the Importance of vot-
ing, and probably giving it to
the 18-year-olds, but l would
like to see go along with that
real effort to impress on chill
dren in schools that voting is
responsibility as well as a
privilege"
Miss Adkins also stressed the
importance of the two-party
system, as practiced in this
country.
This nation definitely needs
two strong parties" she said.
I'VE are extremely fortunate
that the system has developed
that way
one OF the important func-
lions of the two-party system
which is seldom noted, she de
clared, is the operation of the
mechanics of running an cleo
ton.
The speaker urged her listen
ers to go back home to their
individual States and do volun-
teer election work for the party
of their choice.
Thus, she said, you will be
adding to the strength and
effectiveness of your political
party, and making it more truly
a group that represents all the
people who believe in its

Women have not even be-

Miss Bertha Adkins, assistant
to the chairman or the Re-
publican National Committee,
said last night.
Women do have certain
ways of getting their own will,
of achieving their aim. which

mately in politics as in other
realms" she added.

Don't underestimate your

young listeners, but recognize
that you have not only your
own opinion. not only your
own view of what you want
for your Government, but you
have a decided way OF per-
suading people to your point
of view"
Miss Adkins said, in answer
to a question. that she favors

even Dresser knows who is 90
to play where at this point. A
brand new crop of rockies has
given the team a brand new
look this season and the man
ager has been experimenting
wildly with the recruits as we'll
as the veterans.
Where, for example, will Pete
Runnels play? Formerly a Short
stop, Runnels has played at Sec
ond base and in the outfield in
spring training. Eddie Yost,
normally a third baseman, ex-
poets some duty in the outfield.
Harmon Killebrew has been
playing first and third base, and
even took a fling at second. Jerry
Snyder has been used at short
and second. Roy Sievers could
go back to the outf1eld.
And who will be the opening
day pitcher, an annual puzzler
even when other positions are
known well in advance?
Contestants are urged to sub
nit their guesses as early as pos

the one with the earlier post

who had won three other court
battles. After he was suspended,
ISantee obtained the injunction
!and ran in a couple of races.
The AAU was turned down by
the Appellate Division when it
sought to have the injunction
set aside. Then, last week, an
other New York judge granted
Santee a stay of the injunction.
Not only did Justice Lynch re-
fuse to continue the stay, but
he threw out one of Santee's
reasons for bringing the action
that the AAU expense rules were
dead letter" and were violated
with the knowledge of the ma
tional organization.
Major Victory for AAU
Grimes admitted to the court
that he was unprepared to go
into that phase Of the case and
asked for an adjournment so he
could gather evidence and rec
ords. He was turned down.
That was major victory for
the AAU, for Grimes had threat
ened to bring officials to the
witness stand for cross-examina-
ton.
Now Grimes has only two
motions on which Justice Lynch
must rule. One is that the
Executive Committee had no
authority to take its action be-
cause the case should have been
turned back to Santee's home
district, the Missouri Valley
Association.
The other is that there was
not a quorum $50 per cent? of
the Executive Committee pres
ent when the suspension vote
was taken. There are 26 members
on the Executive Committee and
Grimes commended the vote to
suspend Santee was 81.
The vote was announced as

the stand that four members
were not present when the vote
was taken. He said they had left
instructions on their voting
wishes, however.
